Your servant,

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP.   paoho. Thank you so much for asking. We are doing these without much reaction so far except for your good self. We have been having mild war with the photo copy machine. Here is like 10-cents each for copies in market so that is $10 just to copy each one. NGD machine in office is free but we must use it when office is closed and it had malfunction(!). Also, to go from 9-1/2 to 11 inches and loss in quality by reproduction has slowed us. Now we are making simple copies of the first five Composition Books and planning to distribute the actual originals.
We can only do that when we get back to Murfreesboro. Now we are in Texas for the Temple Opening and are not sure what where we will be when we return to Tennessee. We have your address and three more. After the fifth we were thinking to change to an 11-inch format for easy and quality copying.
They seem to have good value.

• TPP-CB
• NOI 5AM Lectures
• BhVai - Seems to all have good utility.

I hope this meets U in good health ¡¡¡

           HpS - ASA -- Pretty good. Our problem is being lazy and greedy for good food and good drink! Just starting a headache, so finish letters for today and go to Temple for first night of Festival! Thank you..

Gurudeva I am writing in order to ask for iur mercy. More than one year has passed since I do not do pujari in chosica. The authorities had already invited me to do service again in chosica but I told them that I first have to ask You.  So I am asking .. In the past  I used to do seva all Fridays from noon to the evening but now I have to be honest many things changed in a year I have other activities and not too much time in order to spend a whole day in chosica, but once a month I can go and try to help with some seva. Moreover during all this year I was helping with some laskmi for RMB every month.

Gurudeva is my desire to worship the deities again in chosica just once a month but I really need Their association so I am humbly asking U this request.

           HpS - As far as I know They are waiting for you: "Where have you been, you embecile (Smile)! Don't get tricked again, We really, really miss you so much!!!!"

Also I want to inform U that I do not have internet at home for Krsna arrangement my other cellphone had free internet so I was using it as a modem but now I do not have internet I am connecting to Japa Joe through my cellphone and U know that is really hard and stressing but I am doing it I do not have to much megas so if sometimes I go early it is because I want to save some megas for BV and so forth so please excuse me things are not the same since my dad is not with us but we continue with enthusiasm.

                HpS - He is waiting for you!

The last festival for Narasimha Caturdasi was a great success ¡¡¡ thank U for the blessings

I will do what U told me thank U Gurudeva

Always trying to be ur disciple

              HpS - ASA -- You can start your own line of designer clothes, "Candra Monkey". You and your sister can become rich.

HK TGASP PAMHO

Gurudeva gracias  Krsna estoy contenta viviendo en templo de wilson donde hay muchos iviendo gracias a la presencia del Sr. JBS. Estoy siempre asistiendo a Gaura Nitay de Wilson un día a la semana en mangala y distribuyendo libros, este mes empezmos a estudiar para el examen de titulación, es un objetivo este año, entre otros.

Sin embargo quería compartir estos pasatiempos de sankirtana:

Una vez distribuyendo libros en buses un Sr. tomo los libros y se quedó contemplando la foto de Srila P´pada, cuando me acerque me contó que lo había conocido en india, que hablo horas con él, que sabía el idioma y hablo en hindi, “¡Era muy sabio!” decía, me contó que tenía fotos con él, y como desafiante me pregunto qué sabes tú de este conocimiento, le dije que estudiaba y enseñaba los libros, y agregue que había que practicarlo. Le invité al templo, me dejo su tarjeta vendía antigüedades. Me quedé pensando tal vez fue antes devotos, se vehía que sentí algo de nostalgia, quede en llamarlo e invitarlo al programa, lo llamare en la fiesta del Sr. Nrsimha.

En otra oportunidad me encontré en el bus con un Sr. que todo el rato hablo con su amigo mientras daba el mantra, al final le ofrecí los libros los tomo y manifestó que le hiciera cualquier pregunta que él podría responderla que sabía mucho, al final aceptando el reto le pregunte cuál es el propósito de la vida y el respondió ser feliz y tener paz, por supuesto que no le dije que era correcto, pero que si era una buena respuesta, que debía investigar más, era un jñani, y como él hay muchos a con los que nos estamos encontrando todo el mundo necesita de estos libros ojala pueda siempre entregarlos y enseñarlos, lo lindo de enseñar es que uno aprende, tiene buena asociación y hace amistad de por vida. Gracias Gaurangi, Kirtida, Tania, Rukmini, Gandha, Nikunja Bihari y Lucchiano, etc. por su asociación.

Estoy convencida que cualquier devoto por tan sólo estudiar los libros hará su servicio mejor, incrementara sus deseos de predicar y no dejara de amar más y más a Srila P´pada, y a Gurudeva por este regalo invaluable.

Ahora cada día según el calendario leemos la vida de los devotos del Sr. y estamos más entusiastas, estamos más contentos. Pedimos sus bendiciones para vencer a maya, sus pruebas para poder mantenernos puros y seguir sus instrucciones. 

Su hija que lo adora y extraña mucho:

Yugala Kishora Dasi

              HpS - Jaya!!!  Muy bien. Esta adelantando! Cual va a ser el resultado? Vd. va a tener un servicio como Draupadi en Maha-bharata.

Ha!  Ha!  Ha!   Antes pruebas fuertes! Y cual es el resulado?????  Puebas mas fuertes.  Ha!  Ha!  Ha!             Buena suerte con la Assemblea de los Kurus, Senorita!!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada!.

*Levantando temprano (entre 3 y 7 am), fallando uno o dos días a la semana, y cantando el mayor número de rondas posible en ese horario (entre 10 y 16). Finalmente cantando 16 rondas diarias, y sólo debiendo un 10%.

*Gayatri Mantra aún tengo problemas con seguir estrictamente los horarios.

*Estudiando BVB.

*Cultivando Tulasi.

*No atendemos deidades aún.

-El principio de NO SEXO ILÍCITO dentro del matrimonio ha dado mucho que pensar, y mucho esfuerzo para evitarlo, ya que al parecer la BRUJA se vuelve más poderosa. Sinceramente, ANTES ERA MÁS FÁCIL!. Pero Su instrucción ha dado resultado, ya que estamos más regulados que antes.

Pregunto;

1-Grhastha Brahmacari ES POSIBLE?

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP. paoho. Vegitariano es posible? <img alt="devil" height="24" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="24" />    Claro, la estandard de Prabhupada entre hombre y mujer es el mas natural. Otros son basado en estimulation artificial. Relaciones para hijos para Krsna. Comer para servir a Radha-Krsna!

2-Existe un nivel intermedio o cercano, a la vida sexual sólo para tener hijos?. O quizá, un nivel que se pueda considerar, aceptable?

ASA - Claro, el estandard es Devaki y Vasudeva, pero hay estandard de Devahuti y Kardama. Despues hay mucho variedad. Basicamente estandard de Srila Prabhupda, ISKCON, es en el primero texto de NOI. Otros somos afuera de refugio de un disciplulo iniciado. No es seguro. Dejando su cuerpo en esta concienia es posible va a nacer como Indra con gran bigote y su esposo como Saccidevi (esposa de Indra) con una figura encantanta. Ooof! Y no resolvando la problema como Indra entonces ... . . .  Whoof!    Whoooof!    Whoooooooo...

Su instrucción es muy clara, por muchos años nunca me cuestioné éste tema, y la vida sexual dentro del matrimonio SIN MUCHA regulación, parecía algo normal dentro de ISKCON, pero, no es así. Ahora lo entiendo mejor.

Disculpe, pero yo pensé "ingenuamente" que no estaba tan mal, pero Usted me ha abierto los ojos.

Esperando Su respuesta.

Priya Sakhi Devi Dasi

ASA - Somos B'caris y aqui, entonces no podemos hablar tan bueno de estas cosas como buen Grhasthas alla. Busca Ashrama Gurus con su estimado esposo.

Adelante, pronto! Gusto superior!

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I really like how you are growing roses. When my daughter is older I will teach her to plant flowers as an activity. It's very nice.

    HpS - ASA --- AGTSP. paoho. Yes, it is the greatest "Biology" course. One lady Biologist said that one of her professors, big guy, said that Biology is the Science of Life, but the irony is that nobody kills more life than Biologists.

Recently I came across a blog advocating ethical practices towards animals. Basically this person lists brands of cosmetics and beauty products that are cruelty free. It's more of a beauty blog which is one of my interests- I am a girl after all. Anyways my question is should we as devotees be as vigilent in purchasing and using cruelty free products as non-devotees are?

               HpS - It will come naturally. We see animals as people with emotions, aspirations, devotees. So naturally when we see a chance to reduce their pain we take it up. The difference is that we see it in proper proportion, relieve bodily distress so that one can make spiritual advancement.

It's a similar topic as the cow milk I asked about in the past but I need some more clarification. In many of the lectures you have given, you mention how there are some bizarre details that we can't avoid about living in kali yuga. But if you can say something about this issue please do!!

            HpS - That's all we can comment. There are so many techinical details to be figured out about how to be in the mode of goodness for Krsna. What's possible in Kali-yuga and what is for our false ego, "I am Vegan, I am better more good than them"? I think that you can make pretty intuitive decisions about how much to pursue the different adjustments. One Ayurvedic doctor told me he tells his female clients, "There is no better beauty aid than keep good posture!"

On another note, our family will be making a trip to seattle in August to attend my brother-in-law's wedding. The event is on the 19th. I saw in your calendar that you will be in the area around that time. Will you have dates confirmed soon? We really want to see you this year and don't want to miss the opportunity. 

            HpS - ASA - The Calendar dates linked from the Kapi Dhvaja are correct. Just add Denver en-route to Boise, and Janmastami and Prabhupada in Vancouver. Next day in Bellingham, then Seattle until Friday. Friday in Portland then Saturday off to San Francisco. We will ber very happy to see you all!!

Other than that we are settled in Calgary. My husband got a job at the bank and our daughter Audharya is healthy and teething. My parents are happy to be with their grandaughter. I think she likes them too! 

I wanted to know if we could try out the japa joe program. I'm kind of scared because firstly I don't know how it works and secondly it seems like it's a skype-type thing which is the scary part. 

    ASA - Japa Joe is simple. You go to StartMeeting.com. Then you push the Load Button or whatever it is and it sets up a few simple files on you computer. Then you go to the specific Meeting: 992 055 489. A little control panel will come up and you click on the Green Telephone and mute your microphone and you can hear me or someone else chanting. We share fotos sometimes and have a little Chatting.

Is nice. 

Basically is chance to chant with some association.

Get up early and get your rounds done!!
Your report seems nice. Of course, always inviting people to your home to hear SB!!!!

Hoping you are healthy and happy.

Your aspiring servant,

Rasa-mandali dasi
