A G T S P !
Paoho.....      and Best Washes!
Here we are in our Tennessee cave. It is dark and freezing outside. Out stomach aches, and Tommy the Tooth is moaning a little. Probably he will get extracted tommorrow by Dr. Patel.

We caught up a little on the mail. All but 12 letters answered. Like some left from 1 week five daze ago.

We take enough rest. Try to have fun with our friends: Hanuman, Piggy, HpS, Prahlada, Nrsmha-deva and of course, Srila Prabhupada.
Today mostly we have sunflower seed prasada, celery, milk and some of Mother Visnu priya's bread!

NGD just called, he is home from the Mental Hospital, so we will put on extra heavy clothes and drive over ot his ashrama and go  for a 45-minute walk in the sub-freezing weather.

Cente of today, besides the mail, Hawaii, class listening, was progress in Carl Jung work. We read the article by Vincente Maurie that Harsh got for us. It was good but the real profit was that that led us to a series of lectures that Jung gave on Kundalini yoga, and that led us to a book by Sonu Shamdasani and Philemon Foundation. We bought the electronic copy from Amazon and have already finished chaper one. It is great. So much information. Actually so many people are already doing East West psychology, but not any mention of Srila Prabhupada, Hmmmm?

I wonder if in the ultimate issue 90% of the people get rejected because of the 4-principles?????

I think the basic thing is that the comfort of sex, feeling protected from death, is an illusion. Sex actually kills you unless it is for Krsna. What's the opposite choice? To get intimate service to Krsna. To see how all this world is working under His minute attention. He is adjusting at every moment to get people to higher conscisousness. So we gotta keep in touch by chanting.

O.K. Here we go through the snow!!!

See you at Mangala arati.

hare krsna maharaj, pamho,
AGTSP,

i hope you are doing well in sankirtana..

HpS - AGTSP. We are going ahead. It is very, very, very cold here. Like -5C. So we have to use some energy to fight that, but we had good results with our Jung efforts today. We put it in the DTC!

Our sadhana has not been great dont know if we can ever implement bg 12.9.  We are still not able to find a communifty in which our faily can fit in. I think we should one level down and go for bg 12.10.

our asrama situation is strange and unclear. Because of this if we have low motivation for job or anything. As far our son's milk/bread is concerned, if their is seperation/divorce, we would join any small school along with son and try to be near temple.

as of now we are assuming there wont be no seperation/divorce,  we are finding ourself meaningless and stupid.  Only thing which might work is our wife takes the earning role, and we focus on association, sadhana, home and child. 

we were hoping we might be able to help you and hence derive some meaning in our life. Is there anyway we can help you in your Jung project on more regular basis ? 

trying to serve you

HpS - ASA -- The surest, most powerful way to make progress and help everyone is to chant Hare Krsna...  Sometimes I have to do it one syllable at a time, "Haaaa",  "Ray",    "Krrrrrrsna", but then vidya vadu jivanama. Good intelligence comes. One thing is that Krsna does not want us to be happy in this world, so he is not making it a great place with great friends and great food.

This is hell, no?

India is hell now, no?

If I walk outside my door for 45-minutes without a coat I will proabaly die. I've learned a lot about giving up my tongue, belly and genitals and just chanting from the heart, but main thing is to pray, "HK!" and get some intimate service to Krsna. Then we can have intimate relations with others: Family, business friends... if they want also.

No, problem dying today. Or this next breath!

I will write in the DTC about our Sankirtan! Krsna will tell you what you can do to help us!!!

Our regards to your wife. What is she doing?

Hare Krishna, dear Gurudeva. Please accept my humble obeisances. AGTSP.

I hope you’re fine in all aspects. We are, working and working. Krishna gives us a lot of Mercy. Some days are very hard. Each day is more difficult working for me in my job. I loved my job, now I’m losing the interest but I need it. Sometimes I’m looking for the rasa, but I don’t find it. It’s like a desert: hot, thirst, sand and hungry. Someday I’m trying don’t go crazy.

HpS - Hmmm!  AGTSP paoho. Krsna does not require that we work hard like dogs. He only requires that we do work nicely and chant Hare Krsna. You should try to be peaceful and see what you need to adjust to a sane and basically happy life, no?

The last month  we had to take some decisions about some devotees in the ashram, because they were not integrated in the project and always they were putting spokes into the wheels, and they had to go away to other project. I’m so sorry, but it was necessary and very very hard.

HpS - Yes, but if we do it with some good consultation then everyone will accept that it is the best thing.

Enthusiasm, dynamism, to want preach, to go out to distribute books, to cooperate one with others. How we can conquer Madrid?. There are so many people. The temple is full every day between 50 – 100 persons per day, but sometimes there’s not enough enthusiasm in all devotees.

HpS - Enthusiasm means intelligence. Have to have time to reflect on acting intelligently, educating people, then getting a few leaders to organize others.

From two month ago we are beginning two Bhakti Vriksa groups. One was started by Jaramara Hari Das, and now it’s led by Bhadra Vardhana Das. The other one has been started by me and Carcika.

Two months ago I began a new blog about “Bhagavad Gita As It is” (http://srmadbhagavadgita.blogspot.com.es). I have other one :”The Vedanta” (http://elvedanta.blogspot.com.es). You said me three month ago: “Write in local news paper or magazine”. Maybe it’s not exactly what you said me, but I hope it’s fine.

I’m following with my rounds and principles. I sometimes have difficulties. I’m trying to read more and finish the second module of Bhakti Sastri, but I haven’t much time. I’m trying to finish Bhakti Sastri in May or June if Krishna wants it.

I don’t take you off more time. Don’t forget us and pray for us. Carcika and I want to be parents again.  I hope we don’t lose him/her again. Krishna knows.

Please, let me keep me at your lotus feet in the service to Srila Prabhupada.

Your humble servant, Dandava Das.

HpS - AGTSP. Have more fun!  Did you get the beads for Marco? We got Jacobs, chanted on them and will send them to you at Espiritu Santu address also if you got the first set for Marco, O.K.   We are actually beginning to look at next year and making practical plans for visiting Spain.
More news in the DTC always. Thank you so much for your association and inspiration. It goes on and on, but there is always a result and then one day we see every austerity had a result!!

Querido guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis mas humildes reverencias a sus pies de loto.

HpS - ASA - TlgaSP. Paoho.  "Pies de loco"

Aqui Nara Narayana ,desde Brasil, Campina Grande, Instituto Jaladuta.
Pasamos un ano mas aqui junto a la asociacion de Su Santidad Dhanvantari Swami y muchos otros devotos que inspiran mucho en la practica de Servicio Devocional. Fue otro gran anho espiritual, lleno de oportunidades para servir y aprender.

Ayudamos en el proyecto Bhakti Sastri precencial, a los nuevos estudiantes, como lider de asrama, desde marzo hasta 1 de noviembre. Para el fin del curso tuvimos la visita de Su Santidad Yadunandana Swami, escuchamos sus clases y lavamos su ropa  :) .

Guru Maharaja ,estaremos viajando para un encuentro con Usted en Cordoba, Argentina, estamos muy contentos por eso, ya que tener Su asociacion nos da fortaleza para siempre servir a Krishna y nunca olvidarlo. Seria un honor para mi poder tomar iniciacion espiritual en aquella oportunidad, seria como respirar dentro deste oceano de energia material. Mas alla de mi gran deseo ,contamos con la orientacion de las autoridades locales para la iniciacion.Por favor deme sus bendiciones y acepteme como su dicipulo, yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasado... 

Guru Maharaja , en diciembre haremos maraton de Sankirtan en Brasil, y despues viajaremos para Argentina. Estoy muy contento de poder escribirle, espero que Usted este muy bien.

mis reverencias, Su sirviente eterno Nara narayana

HpS - ASA - Awwwk! No podemos recordar quien esta Vd? No, nuestra discipulo en BsAs. El esta iniciado!!!  Claro somos 66-anos en esta burro y la memoria no es tan fuerte, pero necesitamos poco estimulacion recordar quien esta Vd!!!

AGTSP paoho.

We are catching up on the mail!

AgtSP!

Agt Guru y Gauranga !

Pamho Gurudeva!

Lamento no escribir en tanto tiempo. Mi vida esat dando muchas vueltas, y tewngo muchas cosas que hacer aun.

Estoy en Santiago de Compostela, Galicia. El Camino me ha llevado aqui. Aun tengo mucha lucha, por aqui esta todo muy coordinado de una manera que no es favorable para mi.

Los peligros pasan a cada paso. Los no espirituales no gustan de mi camino. Todo bien. Cansado, solo, pero muchas realizaciones.

La verdad, estoy cerca de la muerte...jajaja, no me dejan ni respirar.

Pasito a pasito,

voy caminando,

mientras tanto,

al Apostol voy rezando.

Espero que nos veamos pronto Maharaja.

Su intentio de sirviente, Bhakta Pablo

Hare Krsna.!!!

HpS - Muy bien. Como pasan cosa con Yasoda nandana Das? Puede ayudar el? Japa, Japa, Japa!!! Mas noticias.
