Letters to the editor

Dear Swamiji,

PAMHO, AGTSP! I'm spending 2 weeks traveling in the Philippines to see temples and meet devotees. Cebu is nice, only a preaching center now that is run by a family. They hold a Sunday feast and about 15 college students attend. I went this past Sunday and was asked to give the class. I chose Bhagavad Gita (2.26). Gaura Nitai really inspired me. I will leave friday for Manila temple. Everyday I see clearly how Krishna is arranging my life in every way.

HpS - Very nice. I bet you meet some people in route too! Have some books to give them!!!!  

You are my hope 
In the midst of this great wilderness of material suffering, after much suffering because of my own mind, the devastating effects of material nature and pain caused by trying to put love into simple temporal relations, after countless cycle of births from the kind of lower life to the strange form of human life , hope has finally come to my existence, that is hoping That Hanuman took M. Sita when I thought that overlord had forgotten her,
¡ don't be scared that Sr Supreme lord Ramacandra is coming for you!
as thanks for being my great hope,
now as I surrender to your feet please accept me as your servant.

your aspiring servant

Vrajendra Kumara Das

HpS - ASA --- 99.999% of any good qualties that we have, at least, are coming from the mercy of Srila Prabhupada. If some of that can reach you through him, then that is wonderful.
What is your travel plans until next year?

Hare Krsna dear gurudeva,

AgtSP, Agty, Pamho

Please forgive me for not to be more clear in my words and for all letters that I sent you about this topic. I don't want to be a bother for you. I'm very attached to you so maybe it's became a little hard for me. 
 

In considering everything, I'd like to request your permission to accept Mahatma Prabhu as my diksha guru. I will honor you as my siksa guru and continue to learn from you. Today I talked with Maha Hari das about this and he gave me his blessings. I will continue serving you if you will allow me.

     HpS - ASA - Yes, it is fine with us! Of course, he also has to accept you as his disciple. <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> We are so mixed with material desires that we always hope that devotees and you "serve us" only on our service to Srila Prabhupada.

We had started to make an audiovisual department -ASA Audiovisual- proposed by Vrsabhanu N. dd. and Ambarisa M. das and we are designing logo, and then we will make a youtube channel to upload edited classes from you. Maybe this is my more specific service for you now. So, we are just starting but I would like to keep it if you allow me.

Thank you always, 

My most respectful obeisances,

Ys, Belen.

HpS - ASA - Jaya. Please offer our respects to Mahatma Das when you contact him. Last time I saw him was in Mexico.  We hope that the Youtube channel can have some nice things from NIOS and other sources also! So many people want to hear about KRSNA.

Dear Gurudeva:

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope your health is good.

     HpS - ASA - Jaya!  So nice to hear from you all. Hope your health is good also. But bad health with Krsna consciousness is preferable to good health without Krsna consciousness, no? '0'

Summer holidays are finished and Nimai is back to school. I am working on the "gurukula", which is starting back again after the summer break. We are going to use the Hare Krsna Sunday School material that mexican devotees are passing to me and More staf. I am also translating more children spiritual texts such as Introduction to Bhagavad Gita, for Mexico. It is a humble service that Gopi Radha devi dasi, from Mexico, offered to me. I am very thankfuk to her. Back here, in Madrid, we have a preaching program: bhajan, children and prasadam. It will be happening on September 27th. 

About my saddhana, working on chanting better rounds and Gayatri mantra. I can not control my mind. Same thing with the Gayatri mantra. I get distracted so easily! (What I have to do after chanting, my kids, Gurukula...). Amazing! What can I do?

I miss Japa Joe. Hearing you and chanting was beatiful. Thank you for everything.

Wishing to be your humble servant,

Purnamasi devi dasi

HpS - AGTSP. Paoho. We are trying to get a practical Sadhana for us. Japa Joe was too much. But now we are doing Mangala arati and NOD and some Japa daily from 4.30-5.30AM at Start Meeting. That is nice.

How is Jayanta Das???  From a simple, friendly perspective how are the relations between Madrid and Madre Tierra Yatras going? The Rathayatra Cart?

Can you get in touch with devotees in Peru, NIMSAR? They are doing a lot of translating work also. We can co-ordinate it.
Also, end of January or start of February there will be a South America, Spanish language Yatra, symposium on education in Chile and on line. I hope devoteess from Spain can really flood it with their efforts also!

Thank you. Your efforts will build up forever!

Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva

Please, accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

How are you, Guru Maharaja?

            HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!!  Paoho.  We are too weak-willed, selfish and going on mostly by the tolerance of Srila Prabhupada, but with a    [[[little]]]    devotion..

It's me, Germán from Lima reporting our last activities and incoming events. Two weeks ago the current board was confirmed for the annual administrative period. The administrative positions are : Laksmana-agraja das (chairman), Bhakta Germán Vegas (secretary) Isvari dd. (treasurer), Patraka das (Bhakti-sastri head). Furthermore, Laksmana-agraja takes care of Bhakti-vaibhava program being Candra Mukhi dd. the examiner of the course. So the working group has a year to put things in order. 

HpS - Like until next Radha-astami.

We have two main goals, first of all we need to consolidate NIMSAR from an organized and efficient structural basis because without this our projects will not be solid in their results and to the community. We have identified that it is important not to delay over these issues involving internal bylaws and registration of Nimsar as a formal and legal institution.

        HpS - ASA - Aaah!  Very nice, but in Peru can be challenging, no?

The other goal is to plan a very well structured and realistic academic agenda for the next year. This includes the Peruvian National Congress of Education in november, a Seminar about Srila Prabhupada is due for his Disappearance Date  and the preparation of material for the February conference in Chile.

Besides this, we need to organize the different courses we plan to launch in the short and medium term as well to find out how to obtain the franchise for other official ISKCON courses such as the comunications course and the disciples course.

Finally, and considering the whole situation we should develop a much better external communication strategy, for this purpose we have created a subcommittee with Abhinanda dasa, Mataji Isabelle (my wife) for the new logo and the institutional image design.

On next 28th we will have a full day meeting with the whole eight NIMSAR members (I hope no one misses) to work on these issues. We expect Lord Jagannatha's blessings to have a productive day. I'll be reporting you the conclusions and results.

I say goodbye to you. Thank you very much.

Yor servant

Bhakta Germán

Secretary of NIMSAR

HpS - ASA - Very nice. No one is getting paid very much if at all for this work. We are motivated because we are getting a satisfaction from pure devotional service. That is based upon chanting 16 enthusiastic rounds! Four principles strictly.

Without a healthy morning program -  almost for certain can't chant enthusiastic rounds.
Hope Nimsar membership grows.

We talked with Laksmana Das for one hour this morning. He mentioned a lot of this, but is so nice that you confirm it.
Respects to Santa Isabella and everyone.
We also have some nice communication in education with Patraka Das and Candramukhi DD!
