Todas las glorias a Sri Caitanya y Nityananda

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Gurudeva por favor acepte mis reverencias.

Quisiera comenzar pidiendo una disculpa a usted y a los devotos que puse en ansiedad con mi Situacion personal,

ASA - HpS -- Es un honor ser occupado con su situacion personal. Vd es una buena persona.

. . . es cierto que he tolerado muchas situaciones pero pienso que Krishna me ha puesto aqui por una razon. Mi poca inteligencia me hace dudar cual es mi utilidad. Gurudeva, Solo pido su bendicion para poder rendir mis sentidos y deseos a su servicio. Mi intento por protegerme a mi misma  de las garras de mis deseos es una guerra perdida. Quisiera poder entender cual es el significado real de rendicion al Guru, rendicion a los deseos de Krishna.

Disculpe mi egoismo al tratar de terminar mi servicio en la escuela. He decidido continuar; cancelé mi ticket a India por ahora. Fue una decision impulsiva.  Mi deseo de visitar el Santo Dham sigue vivo, pero quiero hacer lo correcto, estar preparada para ello.

Esta experiencia me mostró que soy muy debil sin Sādhana y el santo nombre. Mi canto de japa ha sido muy desatento ultimamente, estoy regresando a intensificarlo,  tambien mis oraciones.

Gurudeva, perdone a este discipulo que aun no puede levantar los brazos hacia Krishna

solo nos queda la esperanza de que al final Draupadi levanto los brazos

Mis humildes reverencias Guru Maharaja.

Su sirviente,

Govinda Pramodini DD
HpS - ASA -- Eso es su servicio. Cantar 16-rondas entusiastas cada dia y seguir los cuatro principios fuerta mente.  Entonces va a ser tan glorificado como Reina Kunti, Draupadi, Rukmini.....    Todo esta movimiento depende y su fuerza. Con buen Japa y 4-principios es claro, su inteligencia va a ser claro, buen indicacions de libros y consejo de otros, y va a ser bien clar que hacer!​

I think you have been doing well in all your decisions.

Hare Krishna,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories For you maharaj!

I'm David Leyton, I'm writing you from Santiago de Chile. how are you and your health Maharaj?

HpS - ASA - Normal

Thanks for your aswers. In the last letter, you told me i should talk to Madan mohan Das about my therapies but i haven't seen him yet.

Sorry maharaj, but i would like to ask you a last question about it. My last therapy was Biosintesis, in this session two therapists analised my inner energy and they look back and interpreted my past lives. One of them told me that i was a Franciscan monk and i took a poverty vow that it is still in effect. How could i know if this is true?, if it was true, How could i finish this vow?

ASA - I don't know. Personally I would be very, very doubtful of such claimed powers as to see into previous lives.   Chant Hare Krsna under Srila Prabhupada's protection and everything nice will follow.

About service, Gita devi dasi is a Bhakti Vriksa Leader and she wants me to run a new Bhakti Vriksa group. We are very happy (My bride-to-be and I) about it because i feel that it is a very important experience to give all that i've learnt to others. Please give me your bleasing for my new step. What would you recommend me to do?

ASA - I don't know what are the requierments to be a Leader, but it sounds O.K. in general. Try it with a clear understanding of the responsibilities between her and a few others and then judge by the results.

Thanks for your patience and for reading my letter.

Haribol!

 ASA - Jaya!!!      Let us​ the results of your Bhakti-vrksa work.

Radhe syam!!!

Agtsp Pamho Dear gurudev

Sorry for the urgent letter everything its going nice in vraj, our visa its getting expired.....so I have to go out of vraj :0( next year.

Today a friend called me to tell me that Bhakti dhira Damodar swami will be giving initiations, so I wanted to ask you if you think it's possible to enter in the fire for the bramin diksa.

As you said before....more responsibilities.....to be prepared. The ceremony will be tomorrow at 8:00am if you are agree even that you know it's a big step for this burro.

Please Send me a short mail to show to maharaj that you are agree as same as paca gaura p.

This is my E-mail xxx  See you tomorrow japa!!!!! Ys Radha Caran

HpS - ASA -   Here is a copy of the letter we have sent to your indicated address with copy to Girivaradhari-gopal Das:

AGTSP

Esteemed Radha-carana Devi Dasi et al,

Of course, please take second initiation tomorrow. You must then contrive to get a printed copy of the Mantras and then some arrangement so that I can pass them to your right ear by telephone.

We had already discussed this along with Girivaradhari's second initiation and Tungavidya Prabhus letter.

Your humble servant,

Hanumatpresaka Swami

AGTSP!    Paoho....  Oink!   Oink!        Whoop!    WHoooPP!

Monkey / Piggy here.

It is getting dark outside.  Traffic on Medical Center Parkway is decreasing.   All the people, rats, in their homes, clubs.  Mode of ignorance starting.

We go to NGD's home a little later tonight because he has some emergency psychotherapy.

Hare Krsna.   Lot more work to do, but now G-3, Kirtan for Lord Nrs and head to NGD home.  See you at the class.

Thank you so much for all the very nice letters.  It gets very lonely without your association.  We are trying to join the Sankirtan movement!!!

hare krishna Maharaj pamho agtsp.

Maharaj thank you very much for all your support, it is very important to me.
I'm ashamed to say; but really I do not want to force me to make a vow. what else can I say. just please be merciful with me; so I can understand how you are engaged in devotional service.

I read the verses; I really understand that all my misfortune is the material attachment. attachment to my mother and my sister. but it's like a reflection of my desire to enjoy. I'm really suffering but with her there is nothing to do; one thing Harer Nama.
but I'm like a cloud just hope not disappear.

I think I should go to India and forget all this material world; no matter die by starvation in a forest. actually that would be the goal. but then what about the sankirtan ISKCON. it seems that everyone has a way. either way I think the best is the sankirtan. This blog is a therapy.

well I'll keep resisting somehow; and perhaps to-morrow the sun shine with such force that mowed my materialistic vision. Here's hoping.  

Now my days in Scandinavia almost ending for now. I hope to travel to Barcelona in two or three weeks.

Maharaj thank you

HpS -  Jaya!   No force! ​ Just suggestion, from Rupa Goswami in Bhakti rasamrta sindhu.  In the beginning it is Vaidhi bhakti.  By rules and regulations.     So, if we can make some standard for our selves, that we know is good.  That we know we can do, then we can defeat the crazy mind.   Can be to chant one round every Sunday no matter what.  What is good for us.   One round every Sunday for one month.  Then exam the results.

Of course, maybe the Karma is still to strong for that, then yes, try to chant as much as possible whenever you can. Read SB (to others (Krsna)), make You Tube movies for Krsna.

Hope you have a lot of devotee friends.

Hope for lots of news from you when you get to Barcelona.  Nimai and Gundica never write to us!!!!

Todas las glorias a su divina gracia A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada

​Hare Krishna Muy querido y siempre siempre recordado maestro espiritual

Gurudeva!   Hariboooool.     Le escribo muy feliz! Porque acabo de salir de atender a la deidad del templo de Wilson Gauranitay!!!!

Dejé. De ir a Isev porque entendí que es mejor estar en donde me formaron. No sé si cometi una ofensa al decir que no era de Iskcon....  perdone si es así.pero siempre dije q usted es mi maestro espiritual. Ahora mis rondas con mejor canto sadhana y usando sari.

ASA - Bueno!   Prabhupada dijo que la chica comun no va ser satisfecha sin al minimo 24-36 Saris.

Siento que vuelvo a nacer como el hijo pródigo.

​tengo que contarle algo...en diciembre Jesús, el chico con el que salía terminó la relación conmigo y fue lo mejor para ambos. ambos estamos tranquilos y yo me estoy acercando más a Krishna. Ahora estoy trabajando en el colegio de isev en una zona de muy bajos recursos con niños en riesgo de delincuencia. es una misericordia que ellos tomen prasadam y vean a la deidad.

​Gurumaharaja.....mmmm.....hay un devoto que se llama hari gobinda que fue brahmachari por 6 años y presidente de dos templos de isev. Pero ahora el decoro ha decidido abandonar la institución isev. se formó cuatro años en iskcon y siente que irse a isev no fue la mejor decisión. Y....él quiere escribirle algo sobre mi....porque....mmmm el prabhu Hari Govinda tiene intenciones de asociarse conmigo y desea escribirle a usted....

​Hare Krishna Maharaj Reverencias todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada. Como ya le escribió la Madre Yasoda me llamo Hari Govinda das.

ASA - HpS -  Wow!  Pronto, nuestra deseos realizados!  Hola, Hari!!

Le escribo a su digna persona para expresar mi admiración y respeto que tengo hacia madre Yasoda y pedir su consentimiento para poder asociarme con la madre. Estamos en una etapa de conocernos. Pido a usted sus Bendiciones. Hare Krishna.

HpS - ASA -- Claro es una tema muy amplio.  Pienso es super si todo es en la asociacion de ambos de sus familias, los autoridades religiosos como el Yamunesvara Das en Wilson, entonces va a pasara muy bien.

En nuestra cultural el matrimonio no es entre dos personas, es entre dos "familias".   Ahhh!  Entonces es muy pacifico, dulce, productiva.   Buena suerte.    Cual es su trabajo???​
