Oooops! Dave is driving us! Now we kind of remember that. I was just thinking Srivasa Pt. Das was driving us. Please just check with Srivasa. If you had al arranged that Swami Prestha was driving then that is it. We can stay with anyone Saturday night. Your house would ne great.
06/18/15 Hare Krsna Esteemed Gurumaharaja. AGT MIGHTY SP! pamho
All are very much looking forward to your visit!
ASA - AGTSP paoho. Agto mighty Dave Prestha also. We, ASA, are also looking forward. We expect Sacto to be one our most intense programs.
Forwarded poster to Saci Prema Bhakti. That NOI topic sounds wonder full to all concerned.
ASA - Ha! Ha! haaa! It's NOD. (Almost the same, like Arjuna and Yuddhisthira)
1. MENU 27th program-Ekadasi You take only fruit and milk late afternoon/evening.correct? Do you like little tumeric or other ingredient in milk? Warmed? Or ? You know all the matajis will want to serve you something. But, so far, I have told them you strictly follow your diet and I believe it is fruit, etc so no point making many fancy preps for you. OK?
ASA - We will just take prasadam with the devotees, no?! Festival program.
2. MENU am 28th. Expect decent turn out for morning program our house. What would you like for breakfast prasad?
ASA - Usually daily we take fruit, milk, nuts in the morning, kitri of split peas and oatmeal (potatoe, celery, carrot...) at lunch and hot milk after everything (at night), but for travel etc. we adjust. So, fruit milk nutz. (Yogurt)
For the devotees, I can keep it simple - like large pot oatmeal served with fruit, nuts and milk. Or, we can do potluck? Do you have preference?
3. DEVOTEE ARRIVAL TIME 28TH AM: Generally, in similiar circumstances, devotees arriving 9am for kirtan, class and prasaadam. Is that time ok with you? Or?
ASA - Seems fine with us. Srivasa Pt. Das is our driver.
4. YOUR ARRIVAL TIME SAT EVENING PROGRAM: It begins 5pm. First chanting 1 round japa in unison, etc. Takes about 20 mins. some come after. Do you want to arrive at 5:30 or?
Can't think of any other questions for now. Will write again if needed. Do you have questions?
YWS< Kalindi Devi dasi
ASA - Guess we will arrive a little early. We can work it out when we get to San Jose on Wednesday, Thursday.
Our question, how many more years you think your donkey has? When do you think you will leave this body? What kind of body do you think will be your next??
Any news from your "Weiner Dog"???
Who are your natural Sankirtan audience?

Hare Krishna, dear GM, Pamho, AGTSP and you!
Last monday the Junta Nacional approved NIMSAR as a bonafide educational institute in Perú.
Now, we have more work to do.
So, you mention that you're starting a evening porgramme every day at 4:30 pm right?
Can we meet friday at 4:00 pm? . We need some specific advices to carry on.
Many detail for our congress in August. We are realising general advertisament very soon. We already invite big shots.
Thanks for your valuable help.
your servant,
The LAD
HpS - AGTSP. Paoho. I think we already agreed, Friday at 4PM. We will put news in the DTC now (some especially for The Blue Baboon)

Please, accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Finally, after 4 months we have been officially recognized by the National Board. I'm very sorry for having failed to obtain this document before. I'm learning how to deal with our authorities. The NIMSAR legalization will be ready in short term. Through this document, the National Board recognizes our activities and our prerogative to do events, offering courses and lectures officially. The signatories were:
Omkara Krsna prabhu (Chairman of the NB), Vindyabali dd. (President of ISKCON Chosica), Yamunesvara Prabhu (President of ISKCON Lima), Gangamaji dasi (President of ISKCON Miraflores) and Jiva Sakti Prabhu (Education head of ISKCON Perú).
From now on, we will concentrate even more on our service.
I hope you're well
Your servant
Gandharva dasa
HpS - Please send us a copy at [email protected]. Things are much clearer, but still a lot of work to do. We are supposed to lead the National Peruvian Government!
hare krsna maharaj,
Please accept my obeisances (may be not humble yet) at your feet
Jaya Srila Prabhupada
I have been reading letters of others devotees mentioning thier servics, concerns. I see my concerns at very different platform then them. One should not approach guru to solve petty things, but to get way to purpose of life. I hope my questions help myself and others in solving the mystery of life.
i have intermettentily started reading canto 2. i think i should read atleast 3 times before i move ahead. rounds are ok. The communication with mother Urmila is helping a lot ( though we can not offer any help in her service) in establishing lost connection with Krsna
---------------------------------
This is in reference to letter http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/5314
you asked : "HpS - Well I can see her being disturbed with our picture, but what did Krsna every do to cause her distress?" Krsna has not done anything to her. whatever we have done is and had been problem. As you said "Of course, we may not come to the natural standard immediately, and to force it artificially will cause other problems". This had been problem. we practically dont know which standards to apply in our life. We tried to have non-onion-garlic diet in home for every one, eat only offered food, have regular offering. out enthusiasm turned in passion and fanaticimsm etc..
so she has got negative emotional cues with ISK (classes and altar(not with you)). All sufferings come back to her as flash back.
---------------------------------------
on another note we remember your life ( as married men). You must have great renouncing abilities when your wife and kid left you because of your adherence to the movement. Hats off to you !!!!
--------------------------------------------------
all this suffering we tolerate with this perspective... " austerity/suffering is there, only chocieis voluntary or involutanry ". i hope all these sufferings nullify my sinful actvities (which i have definitely done a lot in this life time itself).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
we suggested by you in previous letter.."Work toward good association of any kind. It is even worth risking economic situation to get good friends, no?" yes you are correct...we are working towards that.....
------------------------------------------------------------------------
we did look on internet on "super cool liquid: .. it takes a moment for life to change....but as we understood there are many prequisite for that...

horse.
HpS - AGTSP. paoho. We have to communicate with you a little about the NIOS work and Professor. It is all so amazing. Being in the material world means being in a prison. Have you every visited a prison. Is full of emotionally sick people. It has been tolerable for us. We have similar emotional stress to you, just different group. Nobody in this world is in an enviable state.
Thing is to learn how to have fun in the middle of the magic.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
You are quite right. We can not continue programming activities and courses if we do not establish on real grounds. The commitment to ISKCON and the Peruvian state connects us with our responsibilities in a different way. I regret not being able to satisfy your desire before, we have failed to deal with our informality and informal system in which we live and make service. I do not want to say much until we can not sign the application. Monday will be. I hope to give better news next week.
I repeat my apologies, Gurumaharaja
Your servant
Gandharva dasa
HpS - I need to make much bigger apologize to you, but I think we have a later letter with the approval. Bhakti-yoga is the religion progressive rules and regulations. At some point we decide we are always going to chant 16-rounds. Then we decide we are always going to be up for Mangala arati ... then ... In our ISKCON administrative dealing it is the same. But NOI 3, without patience and intelligence it just becomes violence.
