Hare krsna AGTSP, PAMHO 

Dear Gurumaharaja!!!
20 bcaris and we hope more by the end of the summer. The chicago temple is in the best moment ever. This is historical. Therfore my sadhana on such steady atmosfere it could not be better. 16 rounds, jumping in mangalarati every day.
This summer is going to be very busy. Here is a summary of my preaching activities to the latin people.
Book Distribution regularly 4 days of the week. 1 new person every weekend. Hoping increase faster the number of member in latin group. 50 members before i leave chicago?
Bhakti club at Truman Collage. Succesful program. Attached picture.
Food for life. I'm involved on organization and our latin group is engaged in this recently.
Bhakti Vrksa where we cultivate through seminars new people. Spiritual Scientist course.
and diferent services in the temple.

I dont have questions about visnu tattva for you. I know that krsna is the Controler and I m his servant and that is enough for me. It is wrong not to have these tipe of questions?

              ASA - Hmmm. If you are reading then you should be getting practical, exciting questions, no? He is my Controler, but what does He want from me today, for example? Mother Yasoda had to make decision about what service to offer!
Im reading regularly and I already finished 2 canto of BV with Param Padam, but is only an acceptance. I dont feel this like a problem. Can you give me guidance gurudeva?

             ASA - We don't understand. What does, "Only an acceptance" mean? Very interesting.

Finally, the temple president, Nityananda Prana is asking me about  you all the time and he really wants to invite you. These last to weeks Radhanath S, Romapada S, BB Govinda S, Danavir Gos visited us and waiting for Gunagrahi S and others. This temple has a lot of oportunities in preaching field to offer Gurudeva. And the congregation really want your transcendental asociation.

Shold I give to Nityananda Prana the email for disciples to be in contact with you? Or may be another one?

I know that you are extremly busy and your health is not always good, and i can visit you wherever you are, but they are asking me.

              HpS - Ooof. Health is O.K. It is just a result of "energy". At 66-years old we have that kind of energy, so we have to "act our age". I think we can visit, but have to get our preaching programs a little more defined first!

Well thats all for now. I'm gonna work hard to finish my mision here.

HpS - ASA - How much longer will you be there??? What is you plan. Our respects to Nityananda Prana Das.

Srila Prabhupada ki Jay!!!!!!!!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas las glorias Guru y Gauranga

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias

Querido Guru Maharaja ojala pudiéramos tenerlo cerca, servirlo directamente, siempre extraño eso, espero que su salud este bien, me alegra que ya tenga internet, mi problema es el Sgte: Siento que a veces hago las cosas por deber, aunque no me asocio con personas de mentalidad materialista, observo muchos devotos con esa tendencia fuerte al poder, dinero, posición, a veces poniendo en ansiedad a brahmanas, devotos sabios, avanzados, a veces siento compasión por ellos, otras gran desprecio,  y tengo una gran lucha interna por mantener la ecuanimidad, la mansedumbre, guardar silencio, veo las aparentes injusticias y entiendo que son propias del karma de cada uno. Sin embargo, mi temperamento es fuerte y algo de pitta debo tener, me siento manos atadas sin poder ayudar, evito el conflicto, y eso a veces baja mi entusiasmo, lo único que me ayuda a descargar esa frustración de ver devotos que se odian es salir a sankirtana, pero ello influye en mi, mi canto, mi sankirtana. Gurudeva sea misericordioso conmigo que puedo hacer, ayúdeme a desarrollar buenas cualidades.

Siempre muchos devotos me preguntan por Ud. cuando viene, donde esta y está bien.

¡Qué el Sr. Nisimha siempre lo proteja!

                HpS - ASA - TlgaSP. Utiliza "translate.google.com". Upadesamrta-3. Enthusiasm is more important than patience. So, if you see people, maybe like Daksa, harrassing devotees, then you should be enthusiastic to correct them. Sati, Virabhadra, Shiva, they are reacted different ways.

If in doubt chant "Hare Krsna / Hare Rama!!!!!", "Oh, Radharani, please call for Krsna and Rama to help me!". In Vrndavana only Krsna and Balarama kill demons, but sometimes they engage us as Their tools.

So, chant HK/R, if Krsna gives you intelligence then it will be very natural to use verbal and intellectual force to protect weak devotees.

Nice fotos. We add one!

Hare Krsna Hanumat Presaka His Holiness Swami, You accept my humble and respectful obeisances along with my best wishes .

I have a question for you:

Now I have a sincere desire and possibilities of introducing me , but since I'm in Cordoba, I have some problems , we asked the authorities of Córdoba to give me a recommendation. A devotee for which carve Deities and assist in the Ratha Yatra initiative , unresponsive and others say no more give advice to anyone. There are a devotee of Bs As he has no problem in recommending me because it was in charge of the temple of Buenos Aires when I lived there. But the authorities suggests that where we are right now give me a recommendation. This saddens me a little, because I see a very bureaucratic position and affecting my service. I wonder if I can help the devotees to ratha yatras more manifest in Argentina , or elsewhere, thought carve for Mar del Plata, but apparently should help alimpiar bathrooms or kitchen 1 and thus could initiate me . I have no problem doing this as I have previously eçhecho (though I'm now a little serivicio conditioned with my father for space - time), but I wonder to myself: If the power and ability that turns me Krsna so , rather than invest in something that he would love to speculate Srila Prabhupada , see a Rathayatra everywhere, then there could initiate me because they support me, I quedra Krsna not in ISKCON ? I will not be a devotee as Vritrasura demon? , I'm a little frustrated with this situation. Do not worry, try to continue carving voya Deities with Your Blessings ! , Jay Srila Prabhupada ! ! Hope your suggestions .

I hope not to inconvenience or annoy .

To serve : Franco Bone

 HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. The translation is only about 70% understandeable. Please send in Spanish and English both in the future, O.K? We are dull-headed. In general, if you are chanting 16-enthusiastic rounds and following the 4-principles strictly under Srila Prabhupada's authority and trying to work with the ISKCON GBC et al, then you are following his discipline and you are his disciple.

We are certainly very very happy to be of any service to you as Siksa-guru etc.

Ask Maha-hari Das in BsAs for his opinion about the situation. We should be able to resolve any bureaucratic problems quickly.

Hare Krsna!!!

Jaya, Jagannatha!!!!

HpS - ASA - TlgaSP!. Paoho. Utiliza translate.google. Send some photos of yourself and friends! We can only function as "Spiritual Master" for people who have accepted Srila Prabhupada as an Uttama Adhikari guru. Look at Upadesamrta, Text Five, Last Paragraph.

AGTSP! AGTSP AGTSP!

paoho & bw.

Here we are in the Tennessee again, Giriraja ashrama in Franklin. All the world has gone for the weekend to the Sadhu Sanga retreat in the Carolinas. They have like 3,000 devotees registered. We are so, so happy to be alone in the house with you. Ooof Texas was incredible. Every minute was packed with newspaper interviews, lectures... Just like Goloka. Thing is not exactly Durga vs. Radha, its which Gopi to follow!

We just did the letters up to 1-week 2-days. Very nice.

We pushed and pushed to finish off a little brochure for the NIOS devotees to take to Sadhu-sanga. We used Microsoft publisher and set up six linked boxes on the page. That we we could write. Add pictures and removes them and everything just flowed.  Then saved it as a PDF file (two pages, front and back), and found a printer after 20-minutes work. Pulled out our cream colored paper and then cut them horizontally into three parts, stacked those, found a stapler and ended up with a little six page pooklet that would fit into your pocket. Is nice size and now we have the Publisher template. We are going to buy a paper cutter.

O.K. Sankirtan. 27-smallllllll books.

See you in Japa Joe!

Oh! We finished the NOI - 5am Seminar today!!! Whole book on Start Meeting with links sent by Twitter.

Hari!

Hare Krisna Gurudev, por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverecias.Esperamos se recupere bien de la alergia que le agarro.

              HpS - ASA -- Yes, AGTSP. After taking to a strict diet and moving to different city it has disappeared.


Le cuento que mis 4 principios estan muy bien, mis 16 rondas bastantes desconcentradas como lo ha notado, pero me ha ayudado mucho lo que me dijo usted,y estoy en eso. Sankirtan , este mes nada... :(, fueron dos meses de mucha desorganizacion y organizacion.. muy intenso todo, siento que voy a abandonar el cuerpo.

                         ASA - Dejar el cuerpo!! Muy bien. Salir con nuevo como angela

Estoy asistiendo a los programas de los devotos en Cordoba capital que son dos domingos por mes...poco pero peor seria menos..necesitamos un templo .En estos dias llega Maharaj Krishna Ksetra Das, estamos ansiosos por servirlo.Tambien estoy haciendo el bhakti vaivabha con Param, eso me sostiene.
Otra noticia es que en Carlos Paz (Cordoba.. donde vivo), ya vamos por el segundo programa y van personas todas nuevas, e incluyendo conocidos , y pronto se esta ignagurando un food for life , todos los domingos.

Gurudev usted recibio un mail mio por yahoo?

               HpS - Hmmm! Pienso que no.

Muchas gracias a Usted por Krishna, Feliz aparicion del Señor Nrisimhadev.. el año pasado le ore en Nova Gokula (Brasil) para que siempre me proteja de no alejarme de los pies de Srila prabhupada,aunque aun no los haya alcanzado..que no me desvie. este año ... oro por lo mismo.   Maharaj Dhanvantari nos conto que en realidad nosotros adoramos al Selor Nrisimha solo porque Parbhupada nos Lo dio, porque en  la Gaudiya Mata , se adora a  al señor Ganesha, quien proteje a los devotos.. entonces me dio a entender , que Srila Prabhupada nos dio algo propio de el, su relacion ... muy intimo...nunca lo voy a entender.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada , quien solo por su gracia podemos adorar al Señor Nrisimhadev.

Para servirlo Yamuna Tira vana dd

            ASA - Grrrrrrr!  Muy bien. Vd esta adelantando y confrontando desafios mas advanzandos. Muy bien. Tiene que superar como puede ensenar a sus siguiedores hacer el mismo!
