Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:
AGTSP, pamho
I hope this meets you in really good health, and happy
HpS - this body does not get diseases, this body is a disease.
we are in pain from sitting so long to write. also our eyes hurt. burning nose and running nose from the allergy. I think you and all our readers, men, women, old, young are in the same condition.
hari bolo!
follow example of Bhisma deva preaching to Yuddhistira.
In July a pada yatra was held at Jambavan's house, we went with the deities through a large part of Miraflores, then we returned to the house, I had the mercy of performing the artik after that P ramacandra gave the class, and finally we ended with a Yajña
It was really nice being surrounded by devotees a very high energy
My job has changed a lot, I had to submit my resignation to the university where I was full time professor due to they paid me with delay. Now I work for one university and two well recognized institutes in Peru. Nevertheless, I have to work from Monday to Sunday
Ulysses' recovery is being a bit slow and we still do not know if the samples of the tumors removed are not malignant.
Sometimes I have heard from some devotees that it is a waste of time and energy to have pets that we should serve Krsna instead, but I also think that they are souls that are in our lives for some reason, the Ulysses breed accompanies people who have depression and anxiety when well trained. Dogs are really special not like zebras, what is the reason for zebras? haha
You sometimes asked me if I have some messages from my mom mmm I'm starting to look a lot like her. I have a photo of her with me and my sister. Photos are really nice
In the photos that I attached You can see the deities that You gave me
Well Gurudeva thanks a bunch of bananas
See you in cyber space
Trying to be your disciple
CMDD
HpS - Dogs followed Nimai in His Kirtans in Nabadvipa, no? We relate to them as their bodies and minds dictate.
Wonderful.
Let your career go on like the weather in Lima, no?
You learn how to taste and share the Holy Names as you only business.
Hare Krishna Gurudeva
Please accept my obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
How are you? I imagine ecstatic and increasingly happy in Krishna consciousness!
HpS - 😆
Taking advantage of these tran scend ental Blog posts to keep our mind above our burning mucous.
Today as I write this letter I celebrate Janmastami, yesterday was my solar birthday, my body is now 29 years old. I just made some sweet balls and I plan to share them with my classmates and with the institute officials or with each person who wants to receive them.

I wanted to tell you that I have continued to analyze the nature of my body and mind. There are two points that are very notable within the diversity of this yantra:
1.- Communicator, I include it within the brahminical nature, since it is expressed in the desire to preach in different ways.
2.- Organizer, typical of the Ksatriya nature, which can also help carry out different preaching systems.
I have a question:
How should I distribute my income?
Whenever I can do so, I strive to spend 50% of the profits on issues that deal purely with Krishna consciousness, such as donating to devotees, buying items for the altar, japas to give as gifts, etc.
As I understand it, 25% should be spent helping the family, but in one of your classes I remember that you mentioned that this can also include the devotees.
The other 25% to save for possible emergencies and the remaining 50% should be used in Krishna consciousness activities. In the same class I quoted above, I remember you saying that this 50% percentage included things like book printing and so on.
Is this distribution of wealth based on what we receive from our income or does it refer to what we have left over after paying bills such as rent, electricity, water, etc.?
HpS - Above seems correct. I think it is profit. Rupa Gos applied the above formula to his "accumulated wealth".
We attach some fotos.

Your holiness wrote
"We all help each other grossly or subtly to chant constant."
By subtly chanting holiness meant mental chanting?
What could be intellectual chanting?
HpS/ASA - SB 1.47.63/
A parrot can chant the National Anthem of India but not know what it means, no? That is gross chanting.
More subtle is to chant with mental attention, not just let the external senses do it, sleep walking.
Most subtle is chant with mouth, mind and understanding.
What does this mean?
Understand what we are reading. Smaranam. Of course different levels of this (NOI 8 smarana dasa...)
"By seeking association of devotees, acharyas on the gross and subtle platform".
how do we seek association on subtle platform ?
ASA - Look at their pictures, statues, deities with respect. Petition for service. we do it often. especially picture of prabhupada in our ashrama.
on the way to be Hayagriva Avatar Das, success granted, only question is when
ASA - Today is a good day to die. This is a good breath to take as our last! I will not answer any more Blog posts. I will let The Holy Spirit answer them through my mind.
¡Todas las glorias a nuestro Fundador Acarya A C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda!

Querido Gurumaharaja
Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.
Muchas gracias por su misericordiosa atención.
El mes pasado tuvimos la segunda celebración de las Deidades de México, un día SS Guruprasad Swami nos corrigió porque no pusimos kurtas, empezaba ligeramente el cambio de clima y Maharaja se preocupó. También en la actualidad hay preocupación en algunos templos por algunas manchas que podrían aparecer en el cuerpo de la Deidad hecha de mármol blanco por el uso de pinturas decorativas, ha sido un tema de discusión. ¿Tiene una opinión al respecto?
Por otro lado, en días pasados hablando con un discipulo de Śrīla Prabhupāda, me comentó su impresión de cómo en la actualidad, los practicantes no queremos seguir las instrucciones en el desempeño del servicio, incluso si estás son de sentido común e instruidas por nuestros mayores o autoridades, esto ha llevado a aplicar sanciones serias para su cumplimiento porque en ocasiones no únicamente no se observa una indicación sino que también se alienta a otros a no hacerlo.
Por qué está sucediendo esto?
Antiguamente parecía más natural la obediencia y el respeto a nuestros mayores, en la actualidad todo se ha vuelto más cuestionable.
Se viene a mi memoria, en el Libro de Krsna Śrīla Prabhupāda explica que debido a la asociación demoníaca que tenía Kamsa, este no pudo seguir las buenas instrucciones que le dió Vasudeva para que no atentará contra Devaki, e indica que "aquellos que aceptan las buenas instrucciones y procuran vivir conforme a ello, se llaman semidioses, y quienes no aceptan esas buenas instrucciones se llaman demonios", en el BG también encontramos este tema.
También en el episodio del SB cuando los semidioses y demonios batieron el océano de leche, Krsna y los semidioses se situaron del lado de la cabeza de Vasuki pero los demonios por su actitud contraria, caprichosa y competitiva pensaron que no era glorioso estar del lado de la cola y alegaron que eran estudiantes muy avanzados del conocimiento vedico por tanto debían estar del lado frontal, en este caso los demonios terminaron calcinados por las muchas bocas de Vasuki con aliento de fuego.
Recuerdo a SS. Yadhunandana Swami diciendo que cuando leemos las Escrituras pensamos que ciertas cosas no son para nosotros porque estamos en un nivel más elevado, así que si bien Śrīla Prabhupāda indica esta naturaleza demoníaca para cierto sector, mi pregunta es como direccionar esta arraigada naturaleza que aún conservamos y qué podemos hacer para que la actitud de desobediencia no se normalice, al principio es sutil pero se va apoderando de la mente, luego se hace burdo y progresa como una ofensa al maestro espiritual, devotos mayores y vaisnavas en general.
Muchas gracias por su valioso tiempo.
Disculpe por favor la longitud de la carta.
Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Dear Gurumaharaja
Please accept our respectful bows.
Thank you very much for your merciful attention.
Last month we had the second celebration of the Deities of Mexico, one day HH Guruprasad Swami corrected us because we did not wear kurtas, the weather change was beginning slightly and Maharaja became worried. Also currently there is concern in some temples about some stains that could appear on the body of the Deity made of white marble due to the use of decorative paints, it has been a topic of discussion. Do you have an opinion on this?
HpS - Well, seems nice if we can wear clothes that are simple, like Dhoti and Kurta, and allow people to see us as offering something different in culture.
Yes, seems that staining the marble should be avoided!
On the other hand, in recent days speaking with a disciple of Śrīla Prabhupāda, he told me his impression of how currently, practitioners do not want to follow instructions in the performance of service, even if they are common sense and instructed by our elders. or authorities, this has led to the application of serious sanctions for compliance because sometimes not only is an indication not observed but also others are encouraged not to do so.
Why is this happening?
In the past, obedience and respect for our elders seemed more natural, nowadays everything has become more questionable.
It comes to mind, in the Book of Krsna Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that due to the demonic association that Kamsa had, he could not follow the good instructions that Vasudeva gave him so that he would not attack Devaki, and indicates that "those who accept the good instructions and try to live according to them, they are called demigods, and those who do not accept those good instructions are called demons", in the BG we also find this theme.
Also in the SB episode when the demigods and demons churned the ocean of milk, Krsna and the demigods stood on the side of Vasuki's head but the demons, due to their contrary, capricious and competitive attitude, thought that it was not glorious to be on the side of Vasuki. the tail and claimed that they were very advanced students of Vedic knowledge therefore they must have been on the front side, in this case the demons ended up being burned by Vasuki's many mouths with fire breath.
I remember SS. Yadhunandana Swami saying that when we read the scriptures we think that certain things are not for us because we are at a higher level, so although Śrīla Prabhupāda indicates this demonic nature for a certain sector, my question is how to address this ingrained nature that we still retain and What can we do so that the attitude of disobedience does not become normal? At first it is subtle but it takes over the mind, then it becomes coarse and progresses as an offense to the spiritual master, older devotees and Vaishnavas in general.
Thank you very much for your valuable time.
Please excuse the length of the letter.

HpS / ASA - Seems that what you describe is a natural result of Kali-yuga.
https://vedabase.io/es/library/sb/1/16/21/
Senior people will not be qualified and so children, women, subordinates will develop the habit of thinking independently.
All we can do is to preach to them and try to show a good example of intelligent, moral authorities. A kanistha adhikari may not accept the authority of our words, but if we can cite relevant instructions from Sastra or previous acharyas, them some of them will accept.
If we do not value the instructions of deva dvija guru prajna - https://vedabase.io/es/library/bg/17/14/
then we are unfortunate. they want to feed us, but we will not open our mouths for the bread.
Any ideas from your reading the KRSNA book?
Any nice books you find?
Chant HK/HR and Krsna send nice people.
