Toda gloria a Hanumatpresaka Svami

Tod gloria a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencia

Hare Krishna Gurudev espero se encuentre bien, no estoy usando mucho Internet, Le cuento que:estuve en Chile tres meses de sankirtan , despues me fui a visitar a mis padres aqui en Argentina . hicimos un programa con los devotos de Bahi Blanca en Rio Negro, un amigo mio se hizo devoto y esta cantando las 16 rondas al dia y toma prasada,  ahora hace unos 10 dias que me encuentro en el templo de Buenos Aires, el cual extrañaba,  siempre me asocio com los brahmacaris,  y estoy haciendo Sankirtana, estoy estudiando  Mantras de La Bhagavad gita, termine de leer la vida de Srila Gour Kishor das babaji y Srila Jaganath das babaji, Me gustaria familiarizarme mas con el Nectar de la devoción, lei algunos textos del Doctor Kapoor, yde Satya Raja Prabhu, tambien termine filokalia cristiana(resumen). Estube leyendo  la primer parte del Sri Caitanya Caritamrita Madhya lila hasta el capitulo 13, pienso retomarlo desde el Adi Lila cuando pueda, por que todavia no me da para entenderlo o aprenderlo, necesito tener mas Bondad, 

Pienso que mi deuda es el estudio con el Srimad Bhagavatam el cual pienso dedicar los años proximos

El viaje a India sigue en mis planes,  tengo que terminar de hacer toda la legalidad, pienso que mañana ya voy a estar haciendolo, solo me falta enviar dos emails,  en Julio es muy probable que viaje con Panca Tattva a Brasil para hacer Sankirtan por dos meses.

Disculpe mis ofensas querido Guru Maharaja,  por favor ore por mí.

Su aspirante a sirviente adiYajna Dasa

Siempre tengo con migo elNoI y por su misericordia puedo entender algo mas. Espero verlo antes de viajar a India

  HpS - ASA --- Super. TlgaSP. Paoho. Estamos pensando en que pasa con Vd. ayer. Todo su reportaje y planes son super. Solamente tiene que cantar japa sincero y Krsna en su corazon con confirmacion exterior va a comunicar Su opinion de cosas a Vd.

All the glories to Srila Prabhupada

please Gurudeva accept my obeisances

After your stay in Houston, Krishna allows us to travel to north carolina to the Sadhu Sanga retreat with devotees from Dallas, very friendly devotees. Awesome festival! much kirtan, prasadam and beautiful montains.

Now I'm in houston again, I think you already know. I really like it here. Be near to the temple makes me disciplined in my sadhana, mangala artika every day, japa, and SB class. 

I talked to Manasi G and some other devotees about the possibility to stay longer here and maybe get a job, the response has been favorable. Nitakishory mataji offered me to stay in her home. for now we have service in the pujari room and a little in the kitchen. CC and Subra are the best neighbors ever. I want to help the mother Subra but i dont know how exactly as a practical way, maybe go out to  distribute the school information.

continue our worship to lord Nrisimhadeva.

some Hispanic people who attended the opening wants kirtan program in their houses, we planning that for the next week.

Gurudeva, I do not know what is planning RadhaNila Madhava for me, i just ask for your guide to do it better.

waiting to see you in July, your servant Govinda Pramodini DD.

PAMHO

I hope this meets you in better health ¡¡

              HpS - AGTSP paoho. That is only possible for anybody from the spiritual perspective. We are not born to be happy.

It is kind of funny  that I read that U have lots of stress lately because I am feeling the same,  I thought that U did not suffer stress because I see U always pretty happy in your service to Krsna.. But I guess that iur stress is about how to please Krsna better ¡¡¡

I have realized lately that I have LOT OF EGO AND PROUD jaja big news ¡¡¡ umm but the good thing is that at least I am able to assume that. I need to be more humble more and more and accept my fautls and try to improve those.

I guess that all devotees in some points have had doubts about staying in ISKCON or not.  Yesterday I just heard some gossip about one friend and I said this is enough why do we do that??? I am there are lots of books to read, lots of rounds to chant , lots of devotees to make umm that made me doubt about being in ISKCON is good or worthy, becuase sometimes it is just gossips, talking behind our back, robs, ladies mistreated etc.. but then I just remember all the good moments that I lived here.. all the effort that SP does because He is still with us... all the things that U as Guru in ISKCON has to put up with. And I realize that I can not live my life without chanting Hare krsna and eating prasadam, etc

Nevertheless please tell me how to keep my enthusiam when problems came when gossips came how to be an steady devotee because sometimes all these things discouraged me. I did something really nice lately for a devotee that I care a lot and I received nothing just harsh words, indifference and I may say even humilliation I felt really bad but I must go on so how to do it ?? I am writing because some of the devotees may encoutered this situation many times.

The only thing that I keep in mind is that Krsna is the only controller and that I must surrender and that I must be humble 

Please enlight us

Thank U very much and please forgive us for being a burden rather than a help

Always struggling to be iur disciple

              HpS - ASA -- AGTSP Paoho. Has anybody tried to take off your Sari in the Sunday Feast while everybody just laughs at you. Did all your godbrothers just tell you to tolerate everything for 14-years living like a rat in a cheap apartment in Lima with alchoholic and prostitutes next door?

Somebody we know?

But Draupadi NEVER doubted that Krsna had a plan for while He was letting all these things happen. If you got your vows to Prabhupada: Good japa and strict principles then it is all part of Krsna's plan.

That is the paramahansa ISKCON. THere is also and ISKCON for politicians, Life Members many ISKCONs.
There is no better institution in the world but it has rooms for many kinds of people, no?
 

Esteemed Maharaja. Hare Krishna! Please Accept my humble obeisances. All Glories To Srila Prabhupada.
My name is Jacobo, but almost all devotees know me as Sadhana Dasa.

I am 41 years old. I had the fortune and the mercy to meet you the last year in Nueva Vrajamandala and to attend some of your classes. I belong to the group of Yoga in which was Dandava Das Prabhu and that began to asociate with the movement for Krishna consciousness about two and a half years ago.

I am single and I live in the countryside near Aranjuez, a town to 50km from Madrid. I made a temple in one of the rooms of my house where I daily do my Sadhana.

Almost weekly I attend classes with Dandava Das at his house since about four years ago and we usually read the Bhagavad-Gita.

Yadunandana Maharaja had the mercy to accept me as Siksa Guru about two months ago. I also consider Dandava Prabhu as my Siksa Guru and, just like Maharaja, they are an example and a inspiration to me.

I work as a graphic designer and I collaborate with the Bhaktivedanta Studies Institute since it began, making the advertising and designs for festivities and events. I also make the advertising for the Hare Krishna temple in Madrid where I also have the service of cleaning the Temple every Sunday after the program.

I have been following the four regulative principles for about two years and now I am chanting at least 16 rounds a day. I try to connect to Japa Joe whenever my job allows me and is very satisfying to sing and to listen the Saints Names of the Lord together with you and other devotees.
I´ve been considering for some time to take a step forward in Krishna Consciousness and since You are an inspiration to me, both by your example as well as for your preaching, I would like to take refuge in You if you accept me as a disciple.

I would like if you could please give me instructions that will help me improve my spiritual path and serve You better, as well as Srila Prabhupada and Krishna.

Thank you very much for everything. Greetings.

Your servant.

Jacobo.

             HpS - AGTSP Paoho.  So nice to read your bio-data. Have you read: www.jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt?

If no, then please do and giv us your comments.

We don't have any specific advice now but we certainly try to put all we can into Japa Joe and DTC and these letters/blog.

Dear Swamiji,

PAMHO, AGTSP. Maharaj, I came to Berkeley in 1996 when they closed the Carl Street temple. Later I was in LA when you initiated Raghunatha Puri das and Caitanya Caritamrita das.

Here in Bali I am focusing on my rounds and going to temple as much as possible. Most mornings I usually end up taking long japa walks on the beach. I am also waiting a final interview to teach devotee children at the Bhaktivedanta school. I really want to educate devotee children.

Your humble servant,

Bhakta Ken

            HpS - Hey, AGTSP paoho. Are you the epileptic, six-gunned, orphan who found his mother and was married twice in Cambodia and teaches English and travels all over the world fearlessly?
