Hare Krsna !
All glories to Srila Prabhupada, to His loving compassion and magnanimity! (among other transcendental qualities that sometimes we can't appreciate because our blindness)
All glories to the greatest sankirtana movement !
vanca kalpa tarubhyas ca kripa sindhubhya eva ca
patitanama pavanebhyo vaisnavebhyo namo namah
We humbly pray to Lord Nrsimhadeva to protect our dear guru maharaja, HH HpS.
Here our sadhana report:
we are in San Diego, Ca since  October 22th, by the grace of Guru Gauranga we were in New Dwarka,LA  for two months, met wonderful devotees, incredible experiences. Our favorite sacred place to chant our japa are Prabhupada's quarters.  Krsna is so kind with all of us, we know that is the mercy of the spiritual master. We can say humbly that in this special trip Guru and Krsna allow us realize that They are with us always, everytime. Krsna's plans are always perfect! And He take care of us through His beloved devotees. We have received a lot of  inspiration from other devotees. Sadhu sanga is the best! (:
In SD temple there is not asrama for women devotees, fortunately we have an aunt here, so we are living with our relatives. When we were leaving New Dwarka, a senior mataji gave us the best gift: Sri Sri Gaura Nitai deities. The situation was very special, we were thinking 'oh, what to do(?) is so much responsability, and may be we can´t with that, is better if we chant good rounds and pray to Krsna and He will reveal to us what is right, if is like this They going to manifest again' but then we were excited and little curious to take darshan of Them. So we ran to her home, then we saw Them, and we're praying and thinking 'yes or no,yes or no' and in that moment Nityananda let to drop an earring, finally we accept this special mercy. She gave us also her blessings to sankirtana forever. This Gaura Nitai were 31 years with her. We will never understand this great mercy.

Daily sadhana:
wake up 4:00 am chant at least 16 rounds in japa, reading 50 pages of SB per day, puja, help in home and with my cousin cause her body is disable, go to the temple at evening (monday,tuesday and wednesday we attend Dravida Prabhu's Bg lectures [so really nice, we are finding a lot of inspiration from him and his Krsna consciousness] thursday Krsna lounge, friday harinama or do seva for the cows in Escondido farm, saturday [depend sometimes there is sankirtana or bhajanas in Balboa Park] sunday feast) sometimes we help making garlands or whatever it takes. By inspiration for the association we are trying to memorize Brahma-samhita (we are 5.53) and other verses. Appreciating every devotee and each person who comes into contact with Kc. Specially we are Thanking to Srila Prabhupada and parampara for saving us. We were thinking that in this life do progress in our path back to home, back to Godhead, as much as possible, with the benedictions of Guru Gauranga and vaisnava devotees. We're appreciating also the grace of Prabhupada to put us in a family of devotees, we must take full advantage.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP. paoho. Oscar has been very, very uncharacteristically slow in sending his DVD, so TODAY we were wondering what has happened to our efforts. Ha! Ha! Ha! and now you write!
I sent it to your's and Ambarisa's addresses. If you need any more help let us know. We are your servants.
 

Dear Hanumat Presaka Swami:

Really happy of knowing you are coming to Spain.

Is great to asociate with you and srila prabhupada through service on a regular base, but also is great to have your personal physical asociation once in a while.

I got a nice present from krisna in the form of the Eneagram, basiclly this eneagram is and old tool used by jesuists to determing and getting a map of your false ego.

I used with my self and I have discover so many things about my false me. I have What I was doing and why.

This proces has really help me to anderstand my condionet posision and is helping me to understand my real essence.

Prabhupada said that we should be frist councisnes and then krisna councisnes and I belive that the eneagram is a great tool to help devotees to become councisnes, of course our main proces is the chanting of the holy names but again, is hard to de Krisna councisnes if you are not councisnes first.

We are working a lot In Madrid about the self responsabillity of your live.

You can chose at any moment how you want to feel and what councisnes you want to do things with.

Of course most of the times we live on a reactive way fallowing all patrons of behavior and thinking but, the good news we may change if we want, we can detec our patrons, we can modify our paradigms and we can choose (Free wheel) How we want to be, How we want to serve and return to our own, pure, spiritual and unique patron.

Working also a lot with the concept of pain, pain is our great friend, is because of pain that we know there is something to modify, some thing that maybe it was usefull on the past but not any more.

And again if when you have pain, you take the responsability, see the lovig hand of krisna and rhadarani after any thing happening to you, then you aceppt you error, you acept and say , yes, I have something I may Change, I may be a better devotte, a better human being, a better father, mother, son, bosss, emploee if I acept this pain as a sign of love, as a sign of god´s love.

Then I may say I am sorry to who ever I need and I may change my patron to be able to avoid this pain in the future.

If I dont aceppt my responsabillity and I course others for my pain I will not recognise my fake patron and I will have to feell again (By the mercy of krisna and my own karma) the nectar of PAIN.

So Thats basiclly What we are doing now in Madrid trying to understand our selfs, Traying to aceppt our liths and shadows, trying to resolve our shadows and acepting our responsability (The abillity to chose the right response).

Asram mood is really nice, we are distributing service trough pairs so 2 devotees in each main area, in this way you my rest if you need our take some days off if you need to atend a seminar or need to see your grandma.

Great Shadana atmosphere with and a strong traditional morning program with tulasi puja.(Tulasi is growing really healthy and seems quite happy inmerse in Madrid temple´s crazy preaching mood)

The feeling of team, and family is growing day by day.

Wi have a new french bramacary named Rasala Das and Mantri Ram Das and Maybe Nittay (17 years old second generation devotee) are thinking about orenge clothes, I think is a good Idea if they do it properlly.

Well, well, well

My good wife Bhaktin Marta is helping me in an unmessurable way, she is a great saint, supporting me in so many ways and being so renounce and tolerant with this poor Donkey tha is trying to serve you an SP as good and honest as he can.

4-16    90% Full Morning program

Miss you

HpS - Jaya!  AGTSP. Jnana and Vairgya are excellent for getting a foothold in Krsna Consciousness. Citraketu could not focus on the instructions of Angira until he experienced the suffering of seeing his beloved son die. Then he got vairagya and jnana. All of these techniques you are describing are in Krsna consciousness, but we certainly agree that in the beginning it may be useful to get them in another form. Later Hari-nama is enough, but that doesn't mean that Arjuna didn't go on acquiring modern knowledge, modern weapons, no?

I hope our schedule in Spain is efficient and really useful for all of you!! We will be there in just six weeks...

6 eyes see better than 1

3 smiles are better than one

Nitay gaura premanandi !!!!!

HpS - AGTSP -- Paoho.  Thank you. In the center is Jayanta?????

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami,

pamho, AGtSP!

Thank you so much for your valuable association…I will never look at molasses the same way again.

The few moments of your association brought more realizations in Krsna consciousness. Now seeing levels of scholarship in Bhakti and becoming less hesitant in associating with school (still know I’m a fool). Your superbly executed classes also contributed to this too, unfortunately there are not many instructors at your level, regardless am going to continue in pursuance of bhakti “buddhi” as best as possible.

Personal exchanges on the platform of sattya are amazing, so much sincere dialogue just escalates more inquiries and confirmations of our life’s purpose. Unlike any other communications from professional discourses to casual conversation…the technical emotions and profound logic in devotional relations need no actual definition, yet they are available.  Our Sadhana programs seem to encompass all facets of knowledge and desire even if we aren’t aware of specifics, got to love that mercy!
 

Also appreciate the candor of your frankness, just enhances the mood of friendship for old and new acquaintances. For me it also helps understanding my own shortcomings and the lessons of karma, even in “flood-pants”. Our individual demise and personal inequities are valid lessons if we are keen on acknowledging them; such is the potency of the science of self-realization.

The “Jaw-Paw” is still on schedule, new service times have helped, though seva is always waiting for me, learning to prioritize a little better now. Still actually need to focus using fingers, mouth, tongue, ears and mind (not necessarily in that order) while getting mantra-cadence. If done I am able to beat my average 10 minute per round mark. Not easy though, was born to run and that includes my mind, just doesn’t stop so easy. What is good if I can get the “reins on d’ brain” may actually get much faster, will keep you up dated.

HpS - ASA -- AgtSP!   Try chanting a few 3-second Mantras, maybe one round [with love].

We’re all looking forward to y’all’s return visit to Houston; Subhra always appreciates your support and guidance. However, she’s not completely satisfied with how management is handling school priorities keeping in mind it is a new project/ school. Acknowledging this, we also remember some of the trials and tribulations you’ve tolerated in this movement, so patience is being invoked. Ultimately, if decision-makers get too sluggish and splintered there are other devotee facilities, we’ll jockey this horse for now…Yee Haw!

All glories to your service, thank you for your valuable time.

Your servant in training,

caitanya caritamrta das, das anu das.

HpS - ASA - Thank you. Hare Krsna. Krsna was personally arranging all of the dice games, disrobings and finally the battle of Kuruksetra to achieve his ends, no? So we have to look for His plan and "take our place on the Great Mandala, as it moves through our brief moment of time.". See you in 21 days!

In superable picture.
