Regarding this, a surpise: there is a little chance that Jayapataka Swami assit to the congress. Just a little bit chance. But tomorrow I will send the details about the congress tomorrow Gurudev. Is paradox that in my job Im writing nonsense all the time (maybe in this job not so much because a lot of things on enterpreneurship, innovation, happines and education) but and I don't gave myself time to write to you, the essentianl issue in my life.

Finally, Now Im confused about my service: I like the external preaching, make contacts but when I serve to the devotees, despite is more difficult, organize, etc is also good but i don't know if is useful, Maybe my field is the external preaching. Im confused.

Hare Krsna gurudev, 

Thank you

HpS-ASA - AgtSP. Thank you for the letter and Calendar news. Who is coming to the Congress? We don't see the"tomorrow" letter. See DTC Mo(21) with our news!

AgtSP. Paoho. We made it to Richmond. Out was a long hard journey, 8-hours of travel in hellish boring, cramped planes, no one to talk to. Now we will have BG class in just few minutes.

HARE KRISHNA Maharaj pamho agtsp.

whenever I sing the holy name; I meditate on the sexual life ...

but I still consider myself very advanced spiritually.

and when I tell you; I feel even more proud.

and a sense of false humility.

but I'll tell my dear friend; the holy name is my only hope.

if you do not have faith in the holy name eradicate all weeds ...

honestly, I'm sorry to tell you but you're lost friend.

He continued that way ...

when he gave a book ...
He saw a little cowboy in Vrindavan; he just went crazy and began to spin like crazy, for the joy he felt in the heart.

certainly it is very fortunate person that exceeds the attachment for sex life.

because then ...

the ocean of transcendental bliss is easily within reach.

the devotee never forgets sex life ...
but as you have to avoid.

It is boring so much about this.

I do not believe it.

For my part I enjoy a lot.

but I'll say it again ...
if I lose hope ...

simply by chanting the holy name; I will be immersed in a transcendental bliss.
lose all sense of time place and circumstance; and my only concern will be.
continue chanting the holy name.

better leave you.
And try to find pleasure in some other place.

Perhaps you my friend; you know where is that place?

Therefore…
do not tell me, because I know very well.

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

please forgive this unfortunate and pretentious man submerged in the deepest darkness; and bless me with the holy name.

so that I can forget and remember…

check out my prize.

I deliver 13 small books and 3 bg

since the first of December till 12.

to the amount of 919 Norwegian Koronas

counting the passage in mentro every day.

and I'll tell friend; this is a real miracle.

not this cool?

HpS AgtSP. Paoho. Poem is a little hard to follow and that makes its sad because it seems so nice. Nobel laureate, Albert Camus, said that unless you rewrite six times you are a coward! Prabhupada said that he had sex desire but he had no time to do anything about it.

All Glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, Srila Prabhupada and Harinama Sankirtan Movement!

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my most humble obeisances, we do not talk a while since your last visit, but since that time, to education symposium, which you directed, I have been concerned to approach the area of ​​education from my perspective and that it could bring it.
Using a little everything I've learned so far, with the invitation of some devotees as Sri Bhakti Das (disciple of His Holiness Dhanvantari Swami) and inspiration that the symposium and all we could see of each of the devotees, around the world, who are providing education for ISKCON, I did a cooking class in a juvenile prison, with around 30 young people between 14 and 18 years imprisoned for robbery with violence and such cases. We were nearly three hours with the guys talking about how we should cook and the importance of offering this to Krishna with love and devotion, was a good result, the group kept quiet and very appreciative of the visit.

And this Friday (11-12-2015) I did "The first cooking class" at a school for children with special educational needs, a group of about 9 children, the teacher in charge and an assistant, I took my deities, we cooked sweet balls of Banana and coconut, they kept the commitment not to try before you offer, and collaborated with the offering, silently, recited the maha mantra and waited patiently to take Kirshna Prasada!!!! it was really rewarding experience, all the time together children school, teachers, administrative and played bhajanas with Sri Bhakti and his wife Indira Jahnava mataji, another major achievement, the children were very quiet and attentive listening to the chanting of The Holy Names.

On the advice of Jagadguru, I send this report to  You know that your work is a constant source of inspiration to us, the idea of ​​having a school in the yatra is something we hope to realize, that all this is to please Srila Prabhupada and continue expanding his legacy.
sending pictures of the last program.
AGTSP!

HpSwami-ASA. Super. Super way to support Krsna consciousness. Super pictures. Seems like perfect program. Only thing would be how to improve it, expand it, not to change it. So nice! We hope you get great inspiration to expand it in really nice ways conquer Chile with Pradadam.

Dear Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada! I heard a lecture by H.G. Radhika Raman prabhu where he mentioned the importance of sambandha Jnana in forming relationships. In the interest of establishing a deeper relationship with you, I thought I'd share a little about my life.

I grew up in a small industrial town called Thomaston, in rural Connecticut, known for America's first clock factory. My father is the director of a Christian charity and my mother taught elementary school. I was fortunate to be raised with some principles, (truthfulness at least) and to have spent my childhood mostly outdoors.

As a youth I felt called as a missionary, but I was disturbed after a Q&A with one Calvinist professor. Plus I couldn't understand why, if I was "born again," I could not repent (I.e. give up) sin. Halfway through high school I moved to South Carolina with family, it was like a mini reincarnation. My faith gave way and I thought "let me seek truth; if my original beliefs are confirmed then I'll understand better, but if they're false what's the loss?"

I got serious as a painter and majored in Studio Art, where I was top of my class. Unfortunately I was experimenting heavily with drugs and women and by the end of my first semester I attempted suicide and was hospitalized.

At 19 I had to rebuild my entire life. Jungian analysis helped, and I was devouring books. Desperate for a fresh start, one day I drove to NYC and lived there for about a year and studied art at a conservatory. I was grateful to God and prayed "you've been so kind, is there anything I can do for you?" Then I found Prabhupada's books.

In subsequent years I witnessed first hand the Deep Horizon oil spill in New Orleans, and was involved in some activism in Charleston. I got in trouble there so I backpacked to California and met devotees. The first day I started japa I repented sin and became joyful. I'm just trying to surrender and find my place in Prabhupada's mission. I'm into Harinam/ sankirtan, interfaith, education, art. Surely I'm dog, but dog of Vaisnava I hope! I'm sorry to hound you with inquiries... I've a bit of a polemical nature but I don't mean offense. Thank you for your tolerance. I feel a little silly writing this, I hope I'm not being presumptuous. Hare Krsna!

Yhs,

Bhakta Eric

P.S. Check out this mural I painted on somebody's wall when I was visiting my old stomping grounds! : D

HpS-ASA - Esteemed Swami Eric, Your biography is very nice. Thank you. Ours on the Wikipedia seemed pretty good when I saw it some time ago. I realize things about my family Karma that would have been useful since years ago, every day. My Mother, ancestors have always been pioneers. That is so much how I tend to work also. I was feeling guilty about wanting to be breaking new ground and not settling down but now I see that it is natural for me. When I take up a service that I know its needed and order by my authorities, and not my Karma-yoga then I have to bribe my mind and senses to do it. Chant Hare Krsna Look for guidance in Prabhupada's books Consult with good number of various devotees 1.2.3 And you should get very satisfying direction in your life! Even if you have to kill 640 million people in 14-days. More news as it comes

Hare Krishna! Esteemed, K-Kirtan Das. We have been traveling all day and could not answer your calls from Mexico. Two airplanes, three airports. Please write is here and give its an address where we can make any confidential response.
