Hare Krishna dear guru maharaj

Please accept my dandavat pranams.

All glories to Srila Prabhupad.
I have got a job in Kronos Company, Maharaj. I am occasionally serving the lordship in Dallas by cutting vegetables. After meeting you in Houston temple, I have recently started reading Srimad Bagavatam. Please bless me so that i can be an initiated desciple soon. Your Servant Nataraj

AGTSP! - Jaya. Very nice that you are working for the Leader in Workforce Management. Is is run by Durga devi or Radharani? I guess both kinds of people come.

Yare dekhe...  You are there primarily to preach. See how you can do it!

What are you reading in the SB????????   Respects to the family!

Sri Krishna Caitanya,

Prabhu Nityananda,

Sri Advaita,

Gadadhara

Srivasadi Gaura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jaya!

Srila Prabhupada ki jaya!

Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaja ki jaya!

Sankirtan yajña ki jaya!

I hope this letter finds you in great health.

I am still focusing on distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books. Now we are going to highschools and universities. Students are really into the books and most teachers are nice to us and let us in, sometimes taking books for themselves. I found this strategy to be more efficient than buses. We can distribute more books in less time and effort. It’s so nectar J.

    ASA - AGTSP.  paohhhhhh......!

I am moving next week with two devotees near the temple. Adinath and Hadai (GPS). The apartment is 15 min walking distance away, so I have no excuse for not attending Mangala Artik J and keeping a service at least once a week. Moreover, there are many yoga centers in the area, so I expect to keep practicing and teaching some yoga asanas classes nearby.

We are now studying the NOD in Bhakti Sastri online. I am having trouble memorizing verses. How can I improve?

    HpS - Hmmm! Don't know. Everyone has different mind. Some people have to have a tactile, dance, to remember things. Experiment. Use them.

I realized that this past six months I was more focused on myself rather that in the relationship with Satya Bhama. But now that we took the Sacred Union Workshop by Mahatma Prabhu and that we’ve been talking to Grihastas devotees I think I have a better understanding of my role in the relationship. I feel more confident and willingly to make her happy J

ASA - ....!....

I have sometimes failed chanting all 16 rounds and following 4 principles strictly. I have so many bad habits. I pray that by being closer to the devotees I can cleanse my heart enough for not being an obstacle in the Sankirtana mission.

Thank you Maharaj for inspiring us and please forgive my offenses.

Your worthless servant,

Bhakta Marco

HpS - That is good measure of all the otheer services: How I am doing my rounds and 4-principles well, better!

Thank you maharaj!

Hare krishna maharaj ! Please accept my humble obiancses. All the glories to srila Prabhupada!!

thank you very much maharaj for answering all three letters! I thought they werent beeing sent! You are right about the feeling one is not giving enough effort in the service krishna is endless, I will just work on giving my 110% . But i ralized that it is normal to feel like this bcause it is the Supreme Personality of Godhead right?

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho....  We have to chant HK/R, look for answers, standard in Srila Prabhupada's books, and ask several devotees, then we can know if we are trying hard enough. Or if we are trying in the right way. Of course we have to do our service in better and better ways.

Maharaj i hope and wish you are very  very well inside the limitations of the material world :) i i also hope it will be posible to meet you in peru in february! 

Hare krishna hare krishna , krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare !! 

your servant

HpS - ASA - Who was a greater conquerer than Alexander. Maybe Hannibal did some things, but Alexander was one of the greatest, but he was not satified.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, Just an update. As you are aware, we are trying for BG for which we are using your BG Guide.
    also using your BG lectures, which are available at Vedabase.

HpS - ASA--- AGTSP.  Paoho  - This letter came seven weeks ago. We are trying to catch up. After that USA tour. I guess our Study Guides are good. Of course, best thing is to use them or some other ones with a good teacher and classmates.

 Things are static at my end, don't feel any progress. But time is moving very fast and i am loosing

    day bay day my human birth without glorifying Lord. I am missing this human life day by day and we have
    great sorrow in my heart for this.

    i am doing the thing as a looser. But trying to do as much as possible because i already in loss
    & loosing day by day.

    i only, see hope and strong believe in your one of statement, where you say "I have seen Krsna does do miracles.".
    because of this statement, i am trying to do things in a collective and organized way.
    
    ...will share my mid year sadna details soon.

    Thank you, Guru Dev. Only you can save me.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA --- O.K. we look at your other letters one by one. If you are chanting your rounds properly then your progress to Uttama Adhikari step by step is guaranteed.

Hare Krishna Maharaj, Please Accept my obeisences . From Sydney, camilo.

heaps thanks for answer me i was a bit sad and worried, but now I'm okay.

I'm already living at the asrama with the bramhacaris, i moved on wednesday afternoon, everything was resolved very quickly.

I'll be able to do sankirtana three times a week because I'm doing a english course to get the IELTS(International english test) and also in charged of the temple shop in the evenings 'cause they need some help with that, and well attending mangala-arati and morning program . Here there is a very good and strong bramhacari asrama because the Manager is very responsible and nice devotee, his name is Ghanasyama Govinda prabhu he's also my mentor,  always very much concerned about everyone's sadhana ,he had training in chowpaty india , (JPS disciple), and the name of the temple president is Varanayaka prabhu he is from poland and very serious devotee as well. 

HpS - AGTSP. Our Second Disciple, Madhumanajari Devi Dasi is the Head Pujari, no???

we have bhakti sastri class every Sunday arvo, we also attend harinam twice a month,all the monks, and we have kirtan among  monks every evening, we read krishna book every day, instrments practice, yoga or excercise, sloka memorization, and sankirtana, well that depending on everyone's service of course. 
  If there's any particular aspect or thing you would like to know maharaj tell me . I'm so sorry about being very informal writing.
I just hope to have your blessing to make spiritual advancement ,to tolerate my mind and make real progress, and at least to stay at the temple with a good sadhana and maintain it through the years.


Thanks again for your time Maharaja! Hope youre well I'm not being able to hold japa joe because its the time we go to bed here, so it's sad.
Trying to be your servant, Camilo ! Hare Krishna, AGTSP.

HpS - Of course, we are catching up on the old letters from our USA tour.  What is the news now?
