news from Montreal

AGTSP !!

Please accept my humble obeisances

Dear Maharaja

My apologies for not writing earlier.   Our stay in Peru (Feb-March)  was very nice and extremely useful to our spiritual life.

Started in Lima and finished in Cusco.

Up there in the mountains, in between ancient residues from a great esoteric and wise culture, cows, cowherds,  I found my center of gravity, the missing piece in my individuation process,  awareness and strength.

Arrived here in Montreal a bit like a fish out of water but slowly through the association with devotees, bramacharies and harinama,  I re-entered the world of Srila Prabhupada,  back to harinama, japa, humble and clumsy care of Krishna - Balarama  murtis, reading sastra etc...  the street harinamas are super ecstatic..

Ekanidhi Prabhu (Sannyasi candidate) is visiting the Temple,  we read some CC Antia 6.20 onwards to him a few days ago ...very nice Nityananda and Raghunatta das  lila !!   Today we visited the first '68 temple and Prabhupada's  quarters  close by...  very ectatic !!      I gave a class a couple of weeks ago on BG and it went very nice,  in all we feel stronger, determined, to continue our bhakti.  Trying to do a humble morning program with Krishna-Balarama at home...  samsara davana, Govinda, Guru vandana, Siksastaka...etc    also doing playing bansuri for a thetarical presentation from Gurukula kids..    will I be initiated some day ?   in our hearths it happens every day !  but I apologize for not producing the letter of recomendation...things are tough around here.  Your mercy, example and siksa continues to inspire us  every day !   your picture is on the altar ..to the left, and Prabhupada's   to the right..of pancha tattva and Krishna-Balarama.  

All glories to Gaura Nitai !!   AGT Srila Prabhupada !!

your servant

8.16AM

We are in Guest House, "Self Discovery Center", in Temple complex in Atlanta. Yesterday was furious Rathyatra. They have found no good place to do the festival so they did it downtown which has very few people on weekend. Yet, there were some there and the congregation devotees also got prolonged assiciation with Temple devotee.

Jananivasa Das from Mayapur is giving class at 8.30AM.
Today is celebration of Pannihati Festival. It is the big annual festival here. about 500-devotees here with many personal booth. Our GBC Secretary, Tamohara Das is here. We raided th refrigerator here and found old oranges, bananas, p-nut butter and marmalde. We cleaned the refrigerator.

Nitai gaura sundar and family and most of the devotees from Nashville are here. Several devotees from Pery, Tarapota, are here.

We showed the NIOS book several times.    O.K. Lets go for class.

Report 1

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP 

PAMHO

I hope this meets U in good health.

ASA - We are Atlanta. I guess the SM, FMP, has been chaos the last two days. We are one hour earlier here. Today we go back to Nashville.

I tried to made my report on the last Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi but I was too tired to do so.. If u allow me I would like to post a report on ekadasi maybe just one report a month.. But for me is necesary to tell U about my activities.

HpS - That's fine, but make then amusing for Monkey and Piggy and all their little friends and relations, no?

Mangal artik, 16/4 fixed

I went out on sankirtan with Madhumati dd 20 books in one hour ¡¡¡ It was extremely nice ¡¡¡ Now i can say that when U are doing sankirtan U can not think in anything else.

ASA - Krazy for Krzna!!!

I have a temporal job I am helping M Hassen from India in one department store called Jaipur and on August if Krsna wants I will return to Alas Peruanas University ¡¡¡

On these days I can realize how merciful is Krsna with us, I am always surrounded with pious people, and some how or other I am in contact with Krsna katha, M Hassen is a respectable lady, serious in her spiritual practice,,, strictly vegetarian ¡¡¡ and a extremely nice person,,,, I feel so blessed.

Thank U Gurudeva for everything

Little by little trying to be iur disciple again

CMDD

HpS - And following your example we are trying to be better professor.

SAD GODASA DEL MAR

Hare Krishna beloved and esteemed Gurudeva!!

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Here I am alone again in my cave. It seems that I lack something in order to maintain a relationship with a woman.

As you already know I am no longer with CMDD mataji.

I feel sad. Again experience showed me the truth. As you always say, if we dont stick to 16/4 then is hell. That was our mistake, also lack of communication. at least relations with Mataji are ok, no hard feelings. Peace!!

Is amazing, how powerful is sadhu sanga. This experience gave me more strenght to continue in the fight. More determination to follow my vows, and to participate in the gloriuos Sankirtan movement.

I made a plan to recover my rounds before Janmastami. I also diminished drastically my work load. My brain was about to explode.

I resumed psychotherapy, yoga, karate and Bhakti Sastri.

I'm listening to SB first and second canto everyday in youtube (1.5.32-33-34, big secret)  giving BG class every monday at El Loft, 

Again priority is good 16 rounds and 4 P strictly!!

Trying to reunite Krishna with Hladini Shakti, Hanuman policy not Ravana's.

Manu and Benja are ok

I'm tired, sad, but in peace!!! 

I seek utsaha in my intelligence, JAPA!!

Forgive me gurudeva for my stupidity!!

You are always showing us the path!!

Thank you for bringing us so close to SP!!

At your lotus feet!!

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP  paoho..... and we all go forward rowing the boat that Prabhupada built, and rowing our achintya-bheda-abheda individual boat. As you advance ISKCON advances. This Varna-ashama stuff, what ashrama is my service, does not become clear in general until we have been following our first initiation vows properly for at least one year and generally two years. Get Japa partner!!!!!!!

It is very nice to hear from you.
