HpS - ASA - Jaya. AgtSP. Paoho. Good luck with your anti-virus service to your labor saving device, computer! Yes, we got your Text Message and we will answer by text.

AGTSP!
paoho & bw.....  How are you all?
We just answered 8-letters and one short phone call. It took us 48-minutes. That's 48/9 = 5.33333 minutes per letter. Pretty good.
We are feeling pretty good.
We mowed the lawn, listened to Hawaii class, cooked for Lord Nrsmha deva, finished the Tpp-Cb 9 to page 46, helping GMD get his Commercial Driver's License, making new passport application, 47-minutes of Yahoo mail, fighting THE WITCH in our life and the lives of devotees. Really, she is very nice person. She is trying her best to help us go back to Krsna. She loves Krsna. Durga devi (Subhadra).

6.41PM getting dark. Health is pretty good. Hot and humid here. Some allergy. How is Radhika Devi Dasi in (?) England, and here health?
We rubbed our eyes for about three minutes with careful depth intensity and they have felt a whole lot better since then!

O.K. We got interrupted on the middle of this DTC for a 15-minute emergency call about misunderstandings between devotees. Hare Krsna!
Hare Krsna!!!!

hare krsna gurudeva!!!

mis mas humildes reverencias,todas las glorias a srila prabhupada

Espero y deseo que cuando lea esto se encuentre bien de salud!oramos ara que asi sea.

le escribo para darle mi reporte.Hace un tiempo no le escribo ,tube muchos papeleos con la universidad pero estoy feliz de poder escucharlo y tener su asociacion en japa joe.

HPS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. This letter is one month old! We were traveling in USA and too busy for mail!

las rondas han estado bien,algun dia con mas dificultad pero cantando todas,los 4 principios perfectos ,estudio el bhagavad gita y nectar de la instruccion.Intentando esforzarnos cada dia un poquito mas.

HpS - Muy pronto va a jugar con Krsna y otros.

En todo el mes de verano no tuvimos programa en el templo porque como son poquitos y en familia se fueron de vacaciones a ver a la familia por eso a veces cuesta un poco tener la mente quieta, necesitaria mas asociacion con devotos y poder hacer servicio en un templo, realmente pienso que lo necesito. Tuvimos la visita de yadunandana swami y pudimos hablar sobre que hacer para volver a empezar con un templo nuevo ( los hindues se apoderaron por completo de el que los devotos construyeron)e intentar hacer harinams,festivales y escuelas de domingos para niños de colegios .Hacer cursos de cocina y repartir prasadam por la calle.pactaron puntos segun prioridades pero no se ha vuelto a hablar de el tema,en la proxima carta, le dire como quedamos con todos esos proyectos en el aire.

Esperamos poder servirle pronto en españa

que pase lindo dia de janmastami y perdoneme por todos los errores que cometo,esperamos poder servirle pronto por españa.

mis mas humildes reverencias,su burra sirvienta Mani-sati sita dd

HpS - Muy bien noticias. Y ya que pasa? Si, tiene que orar a Krsna para mas devotos y mas grande comunidad. Como esta La Hermana y La Madre? Reverencias al Presidente del Templo. Como se llama?

09/08/2014  Esteemed Guru Maharaja:  AGTSP Dundavats and Pranamas from YWS, Kalindi Devi dasi.  Hare Krsna!  Thank you so very much for all the mercy in your last post!  Communicating with you once again is such a treasure.  You are correct that using up ones body in service is a higher principle than "knowing ones limitations."  While it is true i am most likely not at that platform, in this instance it is you i am thinking of.  It sort of goes like this: i have never been to Houston and may also be unfamiliar with other venues; other than cc, i don't know any of the disciples or supporters who i would be contacting; i think you said the dr, requires a translater;  our household has only one laptop which is frequently in use by others; i feel i would need a computer immediately available and at my fingertips many, many times a day as i would likely be co-ordinating often over many days with lotsoffolks.  To have to ask someone else to discontinue use of the computer that often over a period of time just wouldn't work here and would be unbelievably stressful; so far, i must create a new password each time i write to you, which i don't mind unless it is a hastle for you.  But, imagine I have to do that so many times a day after others discontine use of our computer so i can log on; for two weeks in Sept. i will be occupied so many hours a day caring for grandchildren, it will be a super human endeavor to get my 16 rounds done nicely (and i will get them done).  I have health needs which require a great deal of time each day as i explained to you when we met last. .......  If I artifically tell you, "sure I'll do this.  Thanks for the opportunity."  and then my health goes into a stall at a crucial time or times, which i can almost guarantee you it will because this will be very stressful for me, you will be in a pickle, others will have to pick up the pieces, if they can.  So as not to have to cause you this inevitable difficulty, I decline due to my limitations and do it with tears because I really do want to serve you.

     HpS - ASA -- Jaya!  This is what we understood from last letter. Is fine! Very good way to advance. Prabhupada wanted to do so much but he was happy with what he practically got done.

Perhaps I can help organize a skype presentation between you and the SAC Preaching Ctr.  Or perhaps Dave and I can help out on site in Berkely, San Jose, etc. if the good Dr. and you speak at a No. Ca venue.  Prabhupada's and your mercy, plus shelter of Krsna's holy names are all i am made of.  Thank you for your time which is yet another mercy!  Remaining YWS, Kalindi Devi dasi

HpS - ASA - Requires a basic devotee to organize the visit. We will look for such a person. You look too. Maybe someone you know in Sac, Berkeley, etc.

Try writing a post Titled "Help! Prahlada-nrsmha Das". and state your problem with the Blog!!!  Who is in Sacramento??

hare krsna maharaj, pamho, agtsp,

most of our associates are below 35, which makes mind think lets enjoy...

.but by associating with you we do realize that old age comes for every one, it gets worse year by year, and finally we are born again (if we are not serious)....
thank u

in node 4303 ur grace himself wrote

"We love to drown in self-pity.Give ourselves rewards for our suffering, but it is all little pig like pleasures that don't even satisfy us but we try to make ourselves so stupid that they do."

Any news from the Christian association?
the whole family had some Visa Problem, so they had to move back....they are back in New Jersey, and husband will do to fro journey b/w New york (office)and new jersey(home).. just for happiness of family.. so that the kids and wife can stay with old grandma in new jersey....we have definiteky learned from him, sacrifice a married man has to make to keep his wife some sort of happy.. ..

he also did to and fro journey from office(N carolina) to church (S Carolina) for years.....i dont know why we got to see only them as examples of  family life...

Thesis?

HpS - ASA -  Thank you for the news!!! Nectar!  The best cure for addiction is to Chant Hare Krsna all the time you are being forced by your senses to indulge in it. Rapidly you see why you need it!!!!

Hare Krsna dear gurudeva

Pamho AgtSP

Forgive me for not having writen you for so long, i just not wanted to bother you without having something good to offer to you, i even had a insident with a Godsister because she insisted me to write you, i know she was best intented, still i cannot think of the idea of writing you just about my anarthas and lack of push for the movement, or itinerant ideas of my mind.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP. A short note: We are stupid but trying, is nice to receive!

Now i have something concrete to speak, i returned to Mexico temple since 31 may to prepare myself to take more care of the devotees that are appearing in Queretaro due to the Bhakti Yoga reunions i told you we started in december, thanks to SP mercy they are 7 young boys and girls which are eager to develop Krsna Consciousness in their lifes.

We have already had a difficulty with a "old devotee" who is very very nescient and does not want to cooperate with temple authorities, he confused many of the youngs there, still we allready worked on that. That took us to the decition to prolong my time in the temple at least until january, because its a VERY HEAVY responsability to try to take care of others when we are not yet very fixed devotees.

HpS - Putana represents the "false guru". Everyone has to face her and get past her poisoned milk by there sincerity. Your young people have to do that also. Of course, I don't know the old devotee. Maybe he is very sincere and confused etc.

Mother Gopi Radha knew i have some english skills so she asked me to do some service by trying to translate the student and professor manuals for the sanskrit course from Goloka education, so i accepted and mother Lalita Gopi gave me copies from the ones you gave her. Each day i try to translate a bit and a bit, please bless me so i can serve your beloved disciples.

HpS - ASA ----  STOP!!!!!!   They are doing BIG translation program in Peru. Through Asta-sakhi get in touch with Patraka or Laksmana or Candra mukhi and co-ordinate with them. You have other service to do.

Sadhana has been very difficult for me, i just cannot manage to reach at good time to mangalaratik and keep awake the whole rounds and SB class... i just can do one or other, or both very poor... like reaching 5 mins late to mangalaratik and half sleeping at some rounds or class... Thanks to the mercy of the holy names, im improving more and more, this week i havent fail to any program, i hope to reach the nicest standard soon

Formally i want to ask for your permission to go to wherever you are for your Vyasapuja, this week i will go for my passport, then if its needed i will go and get my visa, i just need your permission and blessings for this, and then i can make whatever i need to do to get this accomplished.

Thank you for taking your precious time to read this letter, thank you for all the mercy you have kindly bestow upon me, thank you for all the effort you do each moment to keep on the preaching to please Srila Prabhupada, even at the cost of your own health, May Krsna allways have a special place for you.

Your dumb apprentice:

Krsna Kirtana Dasa

HpS - AgtSP. So nice to hear from you!    We don't know where our Vyasa puja will be. It is like 24th or 25th of December. More news soon.

Go ahead with your war on sleep. We have the same problem.
