Hare krisna Maharaja!!
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
 

How are you? I hope that you are fine! 

HpS - ASA - AGTSP! We are dying well!
 

Now im in Santander i will stay here some days more, i will return to Madrid the last days of this month!! All here is OK i cook all the days to my family and they love prasadam, all the days i cook different types of foods and they  like a lot to discover new "spiritual" flavours!!! 
I dont wake up early... (i hope to change this inmideatly), i usually wake up at 7:00 A.M or 8:00 A.M and i start to chant my rounds after the breakfast, the japa is good!! I love to chant near the sea. This days are like my holidays and i use my time to study bhakti sastri, harmonium, read (Now im reading the light of the Bhagavata, is the first time that i read it and i think that it will be one of my favourites books, wonderfull and very beautifull book!),

ASA - If you go to the Archives in the ASA web-site you will find andd index, power-point shows about LOB there!

. . .go to the mountain, meet with family and friends.

Some weeks before to arrived to Santander i went to Canary Islands to celebrate the Ratha Yatra!! Was an amazing experience, the devotees of the islands are awesome! The festival was great and a lot of people come to see the deitys!!! Incredible!!!
I met Bhakti Marga Swami "The walking monk" He is awesome, I admire his motivation to work for Krishna, he is always happy and with many desires to preach about Krisna. He is a big source of inspiration for me. He asked to me if i wanted to do some theatre, i never did theatre, but i thought "If i accept i will pass lot of time with him, ok i will do it" The title of the Drama was "The jagannath history" and i was Indrayumna the king. It was an amazing experience to work with him and the drama liked to all the public!! It was very funny!
After of that i went to New Vrajamandala, to take a course of education (some differents pedagogical methods) with Yadunandana Swami, this course its fantastic, i learn a lot of new things and i remember differents knowledges that i learned in the university. Very positive experience 100% i think that we are going to do the next level in  October or November. 
I miss a lot the continue association with the devotees, i like to have time to read, cook (i like a lot to cook sometimes i cook in the temple, and the last weeks i was in the kitchen helping to prepare the prasadam for the program) but its very hard to stay with out devotees near to you, when the mind attacks me im alone and its very difficult to controll it.
The death can come at any time... im trying to put this idea in myself to develope more attchment to the holy names!! I think that one of the best things to stay far of the temple its that i miss a lot the association with the devotees and to do service that i usually do. I think that its good cause now i have many motivation and a strong desire to return to the temple!!! Its like a lesson that the life gives me to appraise how much important and valuable is the sadhu sangha and the service.
Your servant Bhakta Marcos.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Sorry took so long to answer this letter. We got so much behind because of the USA tour. Now what is the news? Back in Espiritu Santu? Initiation? It is so nice that you have so much chance to meet such a big variety of devotees!

Hare Krsna Querido Y recordado Gurumaharaja

Pamho Agt Srla Prabhupada

Muchas gracias por susu palabras, son sus cualidades unas gran inspiracion para mi, y es usted un gran represententante de Srila Prabhupada, mi vida sera perfecta si logro ayudarlo a servir a su maestro espiritual.

Ya hemos estado en Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras y Nicaragua, viajamos semañalmente y a donde llegamos tenemos programas de predica siadios en plazas publicas, colegios y sobretodo en universidades, los primeros dos paises viajamos por la misericordia de Krsna con SS Bhaktu-Busana Swami, ahora  con SS Guruprasad Swami, bajo nuestra autoridad que es Prabhu Aravinda, el tour se llama Bhaktivedanta Bus Tour en cada pueblo y aldea, se ha distribuido mucho prasadam y aproximadamente 5000 libros pequeños,100 grandes y 50 bg, en tres semanas.

Tenemos en una obra de teatro musicalizada, la hacen las devotas, y en honduras estubimos trabajandocon un grupo de teatro que hicieron los devotos muy buenas obras presentaron 2 muy buenas.

Desafortunadamente ahora al parecer tengo dengue el martes me dan los resultados y estoy inmovilizado, ya estoy mejor, pero ahora estoy trabajando en un video con todas las tomas que hemos hecho, apenas lo tenga listo espero mostrarcelo.

Gracias por ser mi inspiracion,  todos los creditos de mi servicio son para Ud, deseo un dia poder  verlo a Ud en cada devoto y en cada servicio .

(luego añexo fotos porque en nicaragua el iternet es muy lento donde estoy)

Para el proximo año P Aravinda dijo q quiza vamos a la india, si no depronto haremos otro tour haciendo maratones de sankirtan en distintos paises de Sur america, todavia no hemos planeado eso esperamos terminar el bus tour en octubre y la maraton de disciempre (desde mitad de noviembre) y ya planear el servicio para el proximo año. Lo extraño mucho GM espero verlo el proximo año, aunque se que ud siempre esta presente.

Aspirando a poder servirlo

Vrajendra Kumara das.

HpS - ASA - TlgaSP. Pfanrh. Muy bien. Muy bien, pero es una programa para su juventud solo? Puede mantener hasta la etapa de viejo (old person)? 

Hare Krsna AGTSP, PAMHO

Dear Guru Maharaja.

This last summer was intense, good things and pretty tough situations also, especially when krishna destroys your false ego, showing you that you are not the centre of the universe. Hurts, but, now I am much much better. And is more difficult when you dont have a mentor to tell all this things. But I am looking for one. I would like to share with you more personal things through other media.

 HpS - ASA - Call us - 209 505-3219. You are the center of Radha-Krsna's universe!

SADHANA: Apart of the inner things, the sadhana is quite strong, I have been increasing my services in the pujari room, like doing turbans for Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra, studying some arati's procedures etc. Sometimes is nice to change services.

PREACHING: The college preaching is going more than well. Last week for instance, I organized a kirtan program where around 100 students had the opportunity to experience the maha mantra and take prasadam. We are expecting to do this monthly.

HpS - ASA -- Will we see you Satuday. Oct 3rd. Saci-kumar and devotees coming. Of course, we will be in Chicago for a week in November. Dates in the Calendar. University 1. Prasadam, 2. Philosophy (BG), 3. Meditation = Japa-Kirtan

The temple president asked me to give Mrdanga Clases to the congregation members, so now my mrdanga workshop is little bit more official and also I am giving guidance to the bhaktas that have musical nature, spending time with them, trying to engage them in musical services etc.

I was so happy when Nityananda Prana told me about your possible visit to Chicago!
They have 2 university programs for You, for sure.But also, if you are agree, I would like to organize something else in another college and may be The art institute of Chicago. But I need info about  LOB and your presentation of Carl Jung to work on that. 

HpS - Call us. We have to discuss details.

I have permission to go to Nashivile on Oct 4th. That's all for now Gurudeva.

HpS - ASA --- Ahhh! So we will see you before you get this letter. Ha! Ja! Haw!

Querido Guru maharajá, ojala se encuentre bien con una dieta rica y saludable,

HpS - ASA - TlgaSP!.  Paho.  Bhoga por Sr. Nrsmhadeva hoy dia: Mucho yogurt, leche, avacado, celery, frutas secas. 

y con su plática con Jung. Me encuentro muy entusiasta en con los estudios y con la venida de un  devoto aspirante a sannyasa de Bolivia, P. Deva Deva, se está quedando en Wilson, en el tercer  piso sufriendo las inclemencias del frío, pero disfrutando de la vida simple y el pensamiento elevado.  Mostró power point de Darwin y su teoría de la evolución de las especies, a veces pienso que muchas personas actúan como monos o perros como señala el SB, es muy chistoso.

Tuvimos la misericordia de visitar a Radha Madam Bihari este domingo, y su nuevo piso blanco de loza, frío, pero le da más amplitud al templo y hay más luz. Gaura  y madres  mayores de Chosica se encargan de las deidades. Que termine mi  confinamiento hasta diciembre y retomare mi servicio fijo en Chosica. Tiempo atrás, no pensaba ver el templo tan renovado, y es que los comerciantes del yatra juntaron dinero y donaron el piso.

   ASA - Reverncias a ellos!........!...

Estamos haciendo más ajustes con los tiempos, por los estudios y continuaremos perseverantes hasta lograrlo, mis compañeros piensan que soy hippy, yp me visto lindo, no como hippy, hay gente muy favorable, tengo una compañera que aunque su padre es hindu, ella no sabe nada de Krsna, así hay proyección de predica para todas esas personas con paciencia, veo la protección de Krsna a cada paso, la suya vigilante y eso me llena de regocijo interno.

Esperamos su próxima venida como el campesino que espera ver llegar la lluvia, refrescante y bondadosa.

Su hija que lo adora y hecha siempre de menos:

Yugala Kisora Dasi

HpS - ASA - Super noticias, gracias. Como se llaman su amigos en escuela? Cuales cursos? Sankirtan en Lima? Deva deva Das es aspirante a Sannyas con quien para Sannyasa guru?
