Struggling Struggling Struggling to balance

Hare Krishna Beloved and Esteemed Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your divine (sweet soft and beautiful) lotus feet,

ASA - AGTSP.  We have ingrown toenails.


All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

We missed so so much SM FMP and the blog during your latinamerica tour.

Such a great sanga, both programs are pure nectar. I realize when you say one can not take everything the guru has to offer. Is like Krisna giving with millions of hands but just two to take.

Thank you so much for your so intelligent and clear instructions, you make SP 's teaching so accesible to us. Is amazing that so much people still dont know about him. Oooff!!!! so much work to do. Mercy!!!
Psychotheraphy is helping me a lot, I can see how my behavior is conditioned by childhood and even previous lifes traumas. Is giving me a deeper sense of observation, a more conscious anartha nivritti. I can see how conditioned i am. Is depressing, but i have a process, so my intelligence tells me keep chanting dude!!

HpS - What is name of your psychologist?  What process do you use?

My life shifted from a super mega insane pace to a very insane pace. Harsh is helping me a lot in this regard. I decreased my work load and i am trying to fix going to sleep and waking up hours.
Still is super difficult to balance material with spiritual life. 

HpS - Morning is for Japa, Spiritual Life.   Day time is for making money, with both feet and both hands.  Evening is for    e n j oy i n g!!

Utsaha is still high. I am very commited to the local mission.
My sankirtan is:
Ayurvedic counselling and director of SAMA our health center ( today i gave 2 small books)
Member of the local directive board. Our Institution Prabhupada Seva is gaining more and more recognition. We made a campaign where we made sleeping bags for the homeless out of disposables plastic milk packages and we had a huge media covering, tv, newspapers, radios, etc. Now everybody here knows that the Hare Krishna's are good people.

Im in charge of the book commision. Im a link between the BBT and the sankirtaneros.

BG gita lectures every monday at El Loft.

Administrative service at our farm project Sri Govardhan which is developing little by little. On december i start to build a house there. Is a new concept in buildings it is called earthship ( www.earthship.org ) It is made with recycled materials and uses alternative sources of energies, and has a super effective usage of water, etc.

HpS - Jaya!

Manu and Benji are ok, is super intense to raise kids alone. Tapasya.

HpS - They don't spend time with their mother?

Feel a little bit as Laksmana Agraja prabhu but the opposite, you are not a bramachari but a grihastha (and i feel a bramhastha and it drives me crazy).

But we are detrmined, 16 horribles rounds ok with a huge well recorded old prasadam to take, 4 (anista) principles ok. We are seriously working on the feeling guilty issue.

ISKCON LIFE is a beautiful big challenge for everybody i guess. Despite i feel i'm doing horrible, (I JUST can not go beyond NOI preface, control mind and senses, advancement deppends on the attitude of the practitioner and situate in the mode of goodness and everything will be revealed for further advancement). Still i feel happy at least to be a part of it and try everyday to go out and spread the message. one day i will reach to text number one.

I'm reading CC madhya 22, which describes my situation perfectly, first chapter of second canto of SB and krisna book at night.

I listen one class of HH HDG everyday, i like his mood a lot. You, HH HDG, TKG, BVPS, GGS and locally Mahajan Prabhu and Arjuna sakha Prabhu are my Siksa gurus. I feel safe under your guidance.
Asram deities are being very very merciful to us!!!!

Dear Gurudev i know that your intelligence is a pure one and that your sankirtan is super clever. Here in Mar del plata we are doing a good job, we are organized, so if you wish i can organize a program for you if you come, jung, interfaith, whatever you prefer. Please consider visit Mar del Plata if your health allows it.
Gurudeva thank you so much for being so merciful, you increase my sraddha in the process a lot. I really feel from you that pure love descending through the parampara. Taking the less and giving the most. 
Spiritual bliss.
Crying and feeling totally unworthy, running behind your lotus feet.

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - You are like a medium sized elefant.   May take some time to get the beast going in the right direction, but then nothing will stand in its way.    Try to avoid steping on little people, and correct your mistakes as soon as you can.

HpS - Claro tenemos que corregir nuestras errores, no?  Claro continuando bien con el processor muchas veces lo corregan.

Continuo con la distribución de Prasadam a través de la empresa Madhu. Estamos distribuyendo miles de panes , galletones, queques, alfajores, miel y otros productos todo Prasadam!!!!   Y miles de personas comen cada día.

ASA -- Muy bien estan comiendo su consciencia.  Va a ser exactamente como Vd!!

Estoy a cargo de 6 hijos, Narotam, Gopal, Krishna, Radhe, Gopinath y Lalita. Los cuatro mayores cantan un numero determinado de Rondas. Atendemos a las deidades Jagannatha, Balada y Subhadra, son las deidades grandes del templo,

ASA - Claro.  Recuedo.  Y el Embajador de India a visitado su casa.

...además de Goura Nitay y sala gram sila y Sri Govardhana Sila, las adoramos sin falta cada día. Y realizamos junto a un maravilloso grupo de Devotos el Harinam Sankirtan en santiago cada dos semana, ese ha sido muy servicio los últimos 15 años.

ASA - Por que no para siempre, en Goloka con Nanda Maharaja?

Pero hace tres años que lo hacemos muy formal por 5 horas cada vez, con permiso del Gobierno ,mesa con libros, distribuimos como 130 libros cada vez y distribuimos además 2.000 galletas Prasadam! !!!! Eso lo hacemos sin falta.

ASA - Cuales libros?

Nos visitó Bhakti Bhusan swami a mi hogar en el campo, como con 80 devotos y realizamos Kirtan y Maharaj dio un seminario de Japa. Estoy muy feliz de que nos visitará Usted a Chile. Le doy las gracias por estar transformando mi vida, espero nunca me abandone a pesar de que no soy muy buen discípulo! !!! Le ofresco mis reverencias !!!!!!!! Hare krishna! ! ! ! ! !

ASA -  Oink!    Oink!     WHoop!   WHooop!!!!        Regresamos al cielo!          Por favor unas palabras de los hijos: Quien es Krsna?  Quienes son Sus amigos?  Que hacen?

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

PAMO

We hope your liver feels better,

ASA - Yes, long time ago it has recovered. Now we have stomach problem and of course going blind and deaf and losing teeth!   Very nice!

We write to tell you of project in Vrindavana, Yesterday we had a very nice and productive meeting. in 2 weeks things have fly almost, its subreal

we have a name, V.E.D.A (Vraja educational and Devotional Academy) kids can be vedantas? They accept a co-ed education, but boys upto 10 only, meybe they will be ready to go to Gurukula?

so we are starting collecting different models of curricular programs from all over the world (many devotee friends are helping) and we have to start a fundraising... we think we will be needing 40 thousand dollars to start... maybe, by Radharanis mercy the Goshala will give us a little space to make some buildings. we could pay them rent? theres another plot Iskcon is not using, no project coming for it nothing, maybe that could be a permanet spot.  we need to have the funds to ask for the land, because right now all we have are dreams and a bunch of parents in passion.  this week we are prepering a brochure, the funraising strategy  and we are taking some pictures next sunday of the children (to put in the brochure)

Please Guru Maharaja give us blessing so we can become good instruments of the lords will.

Hoping for some tips too   '@'

Thank you for your nice letter to all of us, we read them all, most of them at least... so nice, so many nice comments and instructions.

Trying to serve at all,

Cakori Radha Devi dasi (donkey)

HpS - Who are like three of the other principal participants?  Who are they?

Hare Krishna Dear Maharaj!!

Hare Krishna Dear Maharaj!! reciba mis mas humildes reverencias, todas las glorias a A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Antes que nada quiero contarle que estamos viviendo mi hijo Gabriel (Krishna Das) y Yo (Kristina Donoso) en el Santo Dam Mayapur,

ASA - AGTSP Paoho.  You have been for some time, no?  Architect with the TOVP.

intente hacerlo como me dijo en Madrid vinimos por tres meses, pero como todo se dio muy facil como para quedarnos nos quedamos.

A Krisna Das lo acetaron en la escuela de Mayapur SMIS esta estudiando muy feliz y le gusta mucho ir al templo tocar kartals, mirdanga.  Yo empece a trabajar nuevamente con Vaikunta Nitai en el MDS (Mayapur Design). Estoy feliz con te servicio!

Este servicio de trabajar como arquitecto en Mayapur, me lo instruyo Guru  Maharaj Jayapataka Swami hace 4 anios en Cochabamba Bolivia. Estoy siguendo los pasos necesarios para tomar iniciacion con Gurudeva Majaraj Jayapataka.

HpS - Muy bien..

Por eso le pido que me autorice a pedir Refugio con Guru Maharaj Jayapataka Swami , me de su bendicion y usted Mahraj siga siendo mi Siksha Guru .

Tuve un suenio muy bello con Gurudeva M. Jayapataka: me pedia que apoyara mi cabeza en su hombro, me tomaba de la mano y me decia "yo te voy a cuidar y a proteger, no temas apoyate en mi". Luego se levantaba y jugaba a dar patadas muy altas a los devotos, y jugaba muy feliz!

reciba mis reverencias.

Su sirviente

Kristina Donoso

HpS - ASA ---- Jaya!   Very interesting dream.   Hope we see you in Mayapura.   We should be there in February.   We hope Gabriel finds good examples to follow also!!!

AGTSP

Paoho​

5.36 PM here.  Got all the mail answered to 3-days ago.   Had super class today to Hawaii. Bhakta Daniel es still staying with us. He goes to the MTSU campus like daily and just met with the traveling Sankirtan Party from Denver there.   They are coming right now.

Tomorrow we go to Raleigh for the Rathyatra.

At ~6.15PM we go to NGD house.

Hare Krsna!

We still have a lot of paper work to do for the Ministry, Peru, NIOS. It is hard to see how it relates to immediate Sankirtan, selling books person to person!

We, all of us, need to be on Srila Prabhupada's personal Sankirtan team, always, no?

Ministry should at least fight to have regular morning and evening classes, ecstatic, useful classes. We hear of many Temples now with no SB classes or no organized structure of learning.

O.K. Hare Krsna!

We are supposed to post drawings of ASA members etc!   Daily duty(?)
