Letters to the editor

Dear Hanumat Presaka Swami:

PAMHO AGTSP:

Sorry for the comunication delay.

Still alive inmerse in MAdrid´s nectarian and trascendental pastimes of Sri Sri Gaura Nitay.

Temple activity is frenetic, Midday program is working really good, many many people coming and enjoing prasadam, bhajan and devotee asociation.

By krisna´s merci we have a little but stable team:

Temple council members: Jiva Tatva Das (The old Bramana wise man), DAndava DAs (President), Carcika DD (The only woman and secretary of the council, Janardhan (Acounter) and my self (Service coordinator)

I live with my good wife Bhaktin Marta in the aprtment side by side of the temple, we share the apartment with the mataji asram (4 little beds for ladies) and and extra room for visitors.

Jiva goswami is cooking from tuesday to saturday

Jaga Mohan is cooking sunday feast and mondays and is taking care of the FFL program (Actually feeding 30-40 people per day )

Mantri Ram is in charge of the altar (I help a little)

Bhakta Victor a graet devotee from Ecuador is doing grate as cook´s Assistant.

Nittay, a second generation devotee (17 Years old), is doing very well job cleaning the temple area, gest bathrooms, etc.

Kalindy (Jiva tattva´s Daugther) is taking care of the boutique and is a clear candidate for acounting assistant.

Isvara das (And old bramacary) will stay 6 months in mayapura and six months in Madrid doing Pujari and sankirtan service.

He donated his land in MAyapur to MAdrid temple and we are exploring the pòsibilitie of constructing some facilities for the spanish devotees.

The bhakti vriksa is developing nicely with Bhaktin Anna as head of the project. " spanis and one russian group are meeting regularly.(Anna, Janardan and Dandava are doing a great job as bhakti vriksa leaders)

We got a very nice little tulasi plant from Dharmavatsala prabhu and tulsi grow very nicely.(Bhatin marta is in charge of her )

The morning program is developing nicely including tulasi Puja.

Your good spiritual brother Dhanesvara prabhu (Spiritual economic´s) is staying on a regular basis triying to develope Mother earth´s project.

He apreciates you very much, now he is planning to write spirirtual psycology.

Also Damodar Pandit prabhu has being visiting regularly and giving a lot of nectar. (He drove the first busses from germany to India under the authoritie of hamsaduta and personally drove for srila prabhupada, he was also temple president in vrindavan for a while.

He is giving very nice classes in a very nice loving mood and devotee care actitude.

He was instructed in vaisnava defense by udaretha das in new vrindavan.

Many devotees from the congregation helps in diferents areas.

Unfortunatly as ussual there are aleays missunderstandins among devotees and some devotees are temporally not visiting the temple as before.

This really affects me a lot and makes me fell misareble some times.

In the last sankirtan meeting attended by Hanuman Das, Avesa Rupa Das, Jayanta, Purnamasi, Miguel, Jiva tatva, We got to the conclusion that relationship among devotees is our main problem so we decided to work togheter to try to develope better relations among the devotees of the yatra.

Personally I feel exausted some times, I am the only member of the councl leaving in the temple and the service coordinator , so some times is very intense.

I do not go for sankirtan (Book distribution as much as I would like)

Marta is helping me a lot, workin in yhe flower shop and helping with the family expenses.

But in the othewr hand we are really happy of having the mercy of serving SriSri gaura Nittay, Srila Prabhupada and the devotees in such a close and intens way.

My body was giving me a lot os sintoms of exaustion and from last december started a new program raw vegan diet and doing different proces of cleaning colon, Liver, etc.

I am feeling much better now.

This is all from now.

Please pray to Srila prabhupada for me and MArta So we can keep serving devottes and GAura Nitay for the rest of our lives.

Your servant JMHD

Well this is all

HpS - ASA - AGTSP . paoho.  Thank you for the report!   WAe are in Buenos Aires. We have been fighting for three days with our lost credit card and finally got it cancelled to day. If you have been reading the Blog you know our Jung programs etc.   We are giving 1-2 temple programs/day here with 30-60 devotees. Srila Prabhupada supplies intense verses.

The Magic will not be done by you, nor me, nor any living being. The magic will be done by Krsna when we become pure devotees of Krsna.    NOI 4-6 is how to associate, no?   Very interesting advice. We can read it tonight in the class.
Thanks so much to everyone. How to make as you can become more deep in your own KC you will find so many ways to help so many more people!!!!!!           We see you in a few minutes.             Ask Dhanesvara Das to visit www.jayarama.us!!!!!!

HpS - ASA - AGTSP! paoho. It is done, but we Sannyasis and B'caris cannot carry on private conversations with the fair sex and vice-a-versa for girls, so any letters that you send us we have to publish, but we can change the names to protect the innnocent. -[;o)/\___    It was nice news to hear from him.

  A G T S P !
(paoho/bw) . . . . Still alive!   Flew from Cordoba to Buenos Aires (BsAs) this morning with Pancha-tattva Das. Went to LAN Baggage as instructed, but they could not find the credit card that we dropped on the outbound flight and they had said they were keeping for us. However, Agent said that someone who was more informed would be there soon and he would call Pancha-t-Das by 2PM, but 2PM has passed and no call.

Logged on to USB and no weird charges on the card so far.

                                                                   Hmmm.  Hare Hare!!   <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

Has been as hot as hell here the last few days, but today was rain so cooled it down.  Did we tell you, The Jungian Society of Cordoba started to post pictures of the event. They titled it, "A Dream Come True". This is funny since Jungian analysis depends so much on dreams.

We got to the Temple on Cuidad de la Paz street (City of Peace [Santi-pur?!]) with a rip-roaring, reception Kirtan going on. Mangala-ananda, Nanda-raja, Narayana-para, Rati-manjari devi Dassss all received us. (The set of kaupins we left here we still here). Bath, brunch, write the "Trash" tha follows, nap, adjust the electricity point, altar, work space.... Calendar Session, letter to NAD, USB, check Yahoo-mail, erased three letters from the Blog.

We will be sitting in the same place for 8-days!!!!
        Now its 3.48PM.
 

Planning for Krsna (Manasa krodha vegam)
3.45-5.00 - Review and close TPP  CB/17
5.00 - Milk (banana)
5.30-6.30PM - Temple room for conversations with anyone, Japa.
6.30-8.00 - Gaura-arati and BG class.

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

CAT’S CRADLE - EGYPT

There once was a cat named Caruthers,

   Who was personally known to five others.

He performed concerts and hymns.

   The public adored his whiskers and limbs,

And he bathed with flea-soap

Each morning.

“Come with-th-th-th me up the Nile.

 Let us see the Sun god smile.

5,000 years ago,

The sights and forests,

Now you would not know.

“Yes, the world always degrades to rot,

   Because that is what we sought.

In a land where there is no snow,

   We must create it from what we know.

Bad is the price of good,

And asphalt covers the ground,

   Where as children, barefoot, we once stood.”

The Egyptians used cats to guard the doorways to the underworld. It works. This is the world of dualities because we have turned away from the Absolute Truth as so we can only experience youth if we experience old-age etc.

paoho . . .

Hare Krsna!

Esteemed Professor.

It is Monday the 12th herein Cordoba, Argentina. It is little hot and we are resting after the Jung symposium last night. It was very, very intense. The audience was about 70-professional psychologists, university faculty and graduate students. They were extremely attentive, the questions very intense and often requiring rather profound technical psychological knowledge and Vedic knowledge to make the bridge.

The Vice-president said that he did not have words to express the change in heart that he felt from the evening, and the President is pushing us to come back in June or July for a series of accredited courses at the University.

We dustributed about 25-books: TLC, BG, NOI, LOB

We are always presenting ourselves as members of ISKCON, but with the comment that the "Hare Krsna movement" has had its evangelic aspect like the Jesuit branch of the Roman Catholic Church but we are more like the Franciscan Monks, and then as faculty of Ricardo Palma Universities Institute for Oriental and Occidental Classical Studies (IECOO) and NIOS. Of course, we are burning up energy in trying to always get the most strategic results from this work and not just tactical successes. In this perspective everyone's advice is very essential. We have seen Dr. Samaresh give it repeatedly. He has the broad view of a historian.

The work that the devotees, Ambaris, Vrsabhanu, Madhavendra, Pancha. . . . . are doing is supremely professional.

Nanda-gopal and Mother Sushila are hosting all of us.

Our body is really exhausted but at heart  our energy is well and we see that the schedule has sufficient rest opportunities if we take it!

Tomorrow we are off to The Capitol, Buenos Aires, and we stay in the same residential suites for 10-days.

. . .

AGTSP . Paoho . 10.34PM . Cordoba, Argentina . We returned from the Jung lecture at 10.00PM but the house was locked so we waited outside until the owner came with the key . Our body is exhausted but we are quite satisfied. The lecture with 3,000 hours of preparation went quite well. The hall was full of people, psychologists etc. Now we must rest Brother Ass and begin our daily chanting again at 1.15AM or so.

[Why did the chicken cross the road?]
[Because it was to far to go around.]

We sold about 20-NOI, TLC, LOB, BG. The organizers asked us very strongly to come again in June or July so that they could organize a series of accredited classes at their university. Hare Krsna!
