HpS - AGTSP! Interesting, but this is June 2015. He just got the award? Why so long to give the awards? Who gave the award? We will all send a letter of congratulations as soon as you tell us the details!
AGTSP
Paoho ... 6.01 PM. In Srivasa Pandita's ashrama in Fremont, California. Most of the day Uncle Gismo was directing Brother. Srivasa Pandita Prabhu offered us a Nokia 1520 as upgrade from our 520. It is heavier but the screen is bigger. The 520 was deadly on our eyes.

So, we had to go get a SIM card, chat with ATT twice to upload the new card etc. etc.
Also, we still have so much to learn about offering and honoring Prasadam. Yes, we are lusty to enjoy a rasa with our tongue and body by good food and good drink, but... it also is just a matter of deeping our experience of serving Krsna (good food). So, we ate a little too much and then our breathing, Prana, is shallow, so we must work on that by pranayama. Hold your breath while you work and force your body to pull "air" from a deeper level. Ass maintanance for Krsna!
O.K. Lets look at the Yahoo.mail and then at 6.30PM we get read to go on Hari-nam Sankirtan in Palo Alto (Stanford University).

Hare Krisna Maharaja:
PAMHfO AGTSP
Brieflly writing you from Madrid:
Sri Sri Gaura Nitay Madrid look very Happy, Nice pujari team (Isvara Das, Rasala Das, Mantri Ram Das, my self...)
Good team of devottees making garlands (Mani Mope anjari DD, Matura Mani DD, Antaranga DD and all her Russian Bhaktins)
Tulasi Looks very Happy (Bhaktin Marta is taking care of her and all the plants in the temple)
Book distribution is developing very nicely (I personally go out everyday, 40 sciences of self realitation/day) and now two devotees from mexico and one from brasil are staying with us. They are sankirtan devotees collecting for monterrey-Mexico project. So there is some sankirtan spirit developing.
Shatyabama DD from Mexico would like to study her next semester in Madrid and live in the temple and do Sankirtan do you think it is all right ?
ASA - AGTSP. Sooooooo nice to hear from you!!!! I can't give any details from her, but seems like it could be O.K.
Temple is full, no beds abaileable, good Sadana in general terms and nice lunch program.
Congregational preaching is developing with the efforts of Dandava, Carcika , Jayanta et all.
I personally will try to keep on sankirtan-Book distribution till december combined with my duties as temple comander.
Marta is taking care of me very nicelly, we have discover a little penthouse in the temple building and we are triying to contact the owners to talk about the posibility of renting-buying the place for our selfs.
Thank you for all your mercy

HpS - Jaya! You all should make a Temple CD with selected songs and comments. Should become famous in Madrid for your your Music.
Up early and good rounds!!! You are our example in many ways.
Dear swamij, PHO, AGTSP. I am sure that I would be with other devotees. So far Ramai maharaj has only said that it would be with ISKCON's financial backing.
ASA - "Backing" and "Banking". Sounds good. Formally the suggestion would be to only take leadership responsibility for a Sankirtan program after Second Initiation, but there can be other considerations. Chant 16, follow 4, up by 4am, do not snore, and your sankirtan efforts will certainly soar!!
Send us news o Condor!
Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
HpS - ASA - Locust feet!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Guru parampara.
Gurudev, Thank you so much for comments and queries for me on
http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/5385
Answering the queries below.
Gurudev, Thank you so much for sending recommendation letter to Temple President for
their approval, am absolutely ready for Second initiation and then 3rd initiation in this
life only, I never have had plan for Grhastha Ashrama. i wanted to talk about Ashrama
during your recent Delhi visit but the schedule was very busy.
I want to join temple but don't know how and where? may be in Vrndavana or may be at
Radha-Kunda by doing sadhna, don't know, how it is going to happen, not clear to me.
want to give this life for Krsna's servant of servant of servant and read & preach
SB and BG for the remaining life.
I am very much attached to SB and BG, so always things are going on my mind, how may i
preach glories of Lord with limited time and limited Knowledge!!?
ASA - Srila Prabhupada's Gita is much more than just BG, no? He includes so many other things.
Younger brother was studying and just finished his graduation and looking for a job. Once
he engaged in a job, he would be able to take care of parents and it would be easy for me
to take action for full time for ISKCON, very soon.
ASA - Look for Sankirtan Leaders, Partners. Does not have to be an eternal relationship, but practical partnership in Sankirtan. We worked with B. S. Damodara Swami as our Chief in the B. I. for many years, but it was not proper place for us for several reasons. So we left that Sankirtana party, but still worked with him as our Chief in Ranga-niketana group.
Regarding SB,
My Stew Dents are one entire family, cultivating them for last 7 Years but started SB
for them after a long 7 year waiting. The entire family is chanting, following the
4-principles. They are from business society, 7 years ago it was difficult to take their
time and they were not ready to give their time. So what i did, i started with basics
( what i had learnt from ISKCON ( have 5 certificates from ISKCON Pune)) by standing out
side their shop.and it was very difficult for me to concentrate because it was a on going
shop and customers are their always. But i never loose my patence. This way i cultivated
the Head of the family. Then finally the day come, when the Head of the family fully
convince and then he agreed to give 3 hours on Saturday and 4 hours Sunday. But it took 7
years to bring them at his stage.
ASA = Prabhupada also had to spend long time in preparation!
Smilerly, wherever i go and get chance to explore Prabhupada's said, i try my best. Even
they are from any society, cred, caste, any shop, road, office, market, public transport.
But i can assure you, will take care the points, you asked me to take care for SB.
Thank you so much.
your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das
