Letters to the editor

Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All the glories to Srila Prabhupada!

According to what we have lived here in Chosica, especially the last years, our perspectives have been changing about where to live. So we are planning our years 2016-17-18, and it seems Sita-lalita is going to continue with her studies of English to be a teacher in the ICPNA (institute in lima)  and she is also starting to prepare to apply to Lima s Conservatory… Bibhatsu Arjuna is also going to study english in the ICPNA in Lima, and he asked us to dedícate this year just to that, after finishing his secondary (this year he finishes) and in his gap year, he is going to decide what he wants for his future.

So we have thought of living in Lima starting 2016, but not in the house of my parents in law or my family, but, we would rent a house, and at the same time it could have other functions… Some time ago we have been thinking of opening a Cultural Center in Lima, where we could live, have a business as a boutique, restaurant, cultural workshops and especially a place that can be useful to preach…

HpS - ASA - Sounds so nice.

Because we have to live in lima, because of work and studies, to prevent expenses, this is our way to be not so close to the temple, but to be hooked with preaches, and to shelve living confortably at home watching televition and enjoying with the family and Friends… In fact, we have more details about this proposal, and even we have advansed talks with a couple of partners devotees and Friends with whom we would work for this Project… Now we are at the stage of asking for advice, and yours is the most important for us. What do you think?

HpS - Sangat sanjayate Kamah.  Our desires and ambitions develop from the company we keep. So seems nice to get a residence near to devotees with whom you can preach. We don't know details, but Caturatma, Palika, Abhirama, Maria, Patrak are all in the same area. Maybe that is a good place for a preaching program.
Hare Krsna! Hare Rama!

Also, you can see our days for visiting Lima in January and February. We will have initiations for Sita and Karuna those days?
 

What do you think???

Querido Gurudeva,

Por favor acepte nuestras humildes reverencias. Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Debido a lo que hemos vivido aquí en Chosica, especialmente los últimos años, han ido cambiado nuestras perspectivas con respecto a donde vivir. Así que estamos planificando nuestros años 2016-17-18, y al parecer Sita Lalita va a continuar sus estudios de Ingles para profesora en el ICPNA (instituto en Lima)  y comenzar a prepararse en el conservatorio de música (Lima), para presentarse a admisión…. Bibhatsu Arjuna también estudiaría ingles en el ICPNA de Lima, y nos pidió solo dedicarse a eso por un año, después de acabar su secundaria (este año acaba) y en este año sabático, va a decidir que oficio tomar para su futuro.

Entonces hemos pensado vivir en Lima a partir del 2016, pero no en casa de mis suegros o de mi familia, si no, alquilaríamos una casa, que tenga otras funciones… Desde hace un tiempo estamos pensando en abrir un Centro  Cultural en Lima, donde podamos vivir, tener algún negocio como boutique, restaurante, talleres culturales, y especialmente nos sirva para poder predicar…

Debido a que tenemos que vivir en Lima, por los estudios y mi trabajo, para evitar gastos, esta es nuestra manera de estar lejos del templo, pero seguir enganchados con la predica, y dejar del lado de estar cómodos en una casa viendo televisión y disfrutando con la familia y amigos… De hecho tenemos más detalles acerca de esta propuesta, e incluso tenemos conversaciones avanzadas con un par de devotos socios y amigos con quienes trabajaríamos este proyecto… Ahora estamos en la etapa de pedir consejos, y el suyo es el más importante para nosotros. Usted qué opina?

                                                                                                                                                        Su Sirviente AmD

Hare Krishna Gurudeva,  please accept my respectful obeisances All glories to Srila Prabhupada. GM thanks for your company and protection, I feel very lucky to have their refuge though still I try to transform into a true disciple.

HpS - ASA -- We feel that we are just something like Sargeants in Srila Prabhupada's army. Sometimes it becomes too tough, beyone our strength, courage, sincerity and so we try to not create problems, engage in stupid things in the minimal way, and then as soon as any opportunity to make progress comes, we take it.

Cuando regrese en el mes de Julio de Austria, regrese al departamento en el que vivo con las matayis y  fue cuando nos conocimos, él vive en el departamento 7 y nosotras en el departamento 3.  Al principio una devota llamada Alaksya fue niñera durante seis meses de las niñas, ahora la niñera es mi compañera de cuarto Ekanta. 

When I return from Austria, come to the apartment where I live with the matayis and than we first met, he lives in the department 7 and me in the department 3. In this time Matayi Alaksya dd was the  nanny to the girls for six months, now the new nanny is my roommate Ekanta dd.

He is contractor and has contracts for like six months, has been a year in Mexico and his desire is live in Mexico, he speaks Spanish and girls also, in fact the girls not speak Russian. The girls' mother lives in Russia and divorced three years ago, she have now a new relation there. He was very respectful, has met my parents and asked them permission to meet me, my parents felt calm but his main concern is to finish the University and I have promised.

He is very favorable to Krishna consciousness and the girls also, have good eating habits, girls are vegan and he’s crudivegano in the week and weekends is vegan and not drink or smoke, them love  the prasadam. Daily they offer their food to Krishna at home to Srila Prabhupada. Alexey feels  inspired by Bhakti Sundar Maharaja and now he is their siksa.

Inside me for some time I was the desire to associate with a person, my mind honestly imagine a similar scenario never That I have now, I Know That I do not be qualified, I have a lot to learn but I feel really happy whos and enthusiastically, They are very loving me and when i see your desire to love Krishna That I just think it's just perfect, a family with Krishna consciousness. And Actually I do not feel alone or worried, Although I Understand That is a great responsibility, I feel the support and love with the Devotees.

For now I'm in university and he supports me, in the evenings I help the girlswith the homeworks. Ekanta nanny go with the girls to the school and kitchen, he works all the day and every evening we can have the dinner and tea all together. Truly we soon would formalize this. Gurumaharaja excuse the attempt at writing this, please we what’s your advice and blessings for make all this well! All I wish is that each step or decision made either to be closer to you and Krishna!

Please please forgive my offenses

Your aspiring servant:

Satyabhama dd

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP....  From our perspective of Diksa guru, be sure that whatever you do will help you improve your 16-enthusiatic rounds and follow the 4-principles strictly. Whatever appears to be progress that does not help these five things at every step is just a step in the wrong direction, a step into pain.
O.K?

How to do this? Ask Krsna. Ask the opinion of several good devotees about big decisions.
Draupadi probably wanted a happy situation but instead, what she got was a very Krsna conscious situation. We are looking for social arrangements, family life, that will be externally a temporary relation to move into a deeper eternal personal relations with people.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!

Just caught up on all the mail.   FMP...    Reading the qualities of Krsna.  He is a very nice person. We should just ask Him to help us in doing our service in ISKCON.

Wrote a very "dynamic" report for the Latin American GBC but then Yahoo robot would not send it. Seems like a message from God!?

Talked with Abhi. for 30-minutes yesterday. Pushing to get a signed agreement between NIOS and Peru National Library and very personal rapport between Ramon and NGD (NIOS).

4.03PM.   Every day we clean the house. Lots and lots and lots of marks and Prasadam on the walls etc.

Very satisfying.

"Prabhupada" reading O.K.
Hawaii class 90% ready.
Posted two more PPTX's today: www.jayarama.us/archives/sticksandstones

This is our principle focus. It is the evolution of the Tpp-CBs.

Also, talked with Srinivasa in Boise for 30-minutes today about all the education programs. It is an effort to create someting that is personal and inspiring but also institutional.

O.K. Lunch.  That seems to calm our stomach pains. NGD suggested that possibly is just an ulcerated stomach.
 

Keep it all in proportion. Die a harmonius death. You can not do much more in the material world, but internally . . . hope that Krsna gives you a cookie in secret!

... O.K. We won't publish the letter. Thank you. Is good news.

Hare Krsna Maharaja. PAMHO.
