AGTSP!
paoh..o'......      Here we are back in Tennessee and now in Murfreesboro in Nitai-gaurasundara Das and families home. We are trying to move back into our office here. We are still sorting out things from this travel and the mail has piled up. Now it is 1.24AM and we answered the Yahoo mail and looked for URGENT Blog letters but didn't see any. Now we go to Japa Joe.

We will be staying here with only short trip to Washington DC and Houston until the end of July.

paoho... Just got back from Texas-Mexico. Was again packed! Very nice, but such travel and work is killing us (faster than we think it should), but our Sup(p)er Intelligence Plans are going ahead to save us.

Now we have no travel plans until 14th May. Then we go for a week for the Temple opening in Texas. Then no travel plans until 21st July. Then looks like a Texas, Arizona and Pacific Northwest tour.

After that, again, no plans.

!OINK!      We are O.K.    Got some health, energy, purity (lots of demonic arrogance too). We were able to check for URGENT letters but have not done the General Mail for the last like five days. We will do it.

Also, the Kapi Dhvaja was delayed because we have been in transit almost continously. We will send it now.

The Tweeter account for huber_robinson is working pretty good and we get stuff off there all the time.

HAPPY DHVAJA >>>>>

AGTSP paoho. We just headed for Mexico. We just could not answer letters yesterday but we are keeping pretty up to date. We should be back to work on Monday. Follows our like regular report to Dr. Samaresh.

= = = = = = =

Jaya Sri Krsna!

Esteemed Professor et al,

Thank you so much for your call. We missed it but the record and voice message was there. We made it to Houston,Texas for this Goloka Education, Primary School system work last Wednesday, 12 March. After one week back in the USA we had just barely recovered our vitality and as expected this trip has put us right at the edge of exhaustion again.

As I write it is 16th March, Sunday, Gaura-purnima and we are headed for the airport in a few minutes. We will go from Houston to Mexico City just for the day, returning to Texas tomorrow morning. We must deliver some money for one disciples emergency jaw surgery, meet with the Regional Representative for our ISKCON Education Ministry and participate in the excellent Gaura-purnima festival.

We are just barely vital. We are feeling a little nausea, vertigo etc. but spiritually quite well! Back in Houston on Tuesday we will talk to our local book distribution center, Krsna Culture, help Rama-giridhari Das design the Ministry web-page and so forth. It is a lot of work but is so, so valuable. As we are able to set up Houston as a model ISKCON primary school maybe a dozen more could be started in the USA within one year.

Back in Tennessee on the 21st we will then sit tight for two months! On the 14th May we come back to Texas for a week again for the new Temple inauguration. They have 2-meter tall beautiful Murtis of Radha Nila-madhava and will be opening a Temple with the same grandeur to honor them.

Honestly we feel we are getting our work load under control.

We answered 15-intense letters yesterday, many involving very personal anxieties. We are so happy to be useful to disciples and friends, and we are learning just how much of this we can do. As I'm sure you know this takes a very heavy toll on one's personal strength.

We have never felt our writing and academic work was better organized than now. With this commitment to a handwritten notebook we are gradually seeing everything in perspective in reviewing and organizing the rather extensive work we have previously done and hope to do in the future.

There is no news of the Felicitations volumes reaching Bombay yet so I will have to start that bloodhound work of calling Omkara Das and seeing what happened. Again, Vanderbilt University has our review Journals online and we will work out a good method of regularly visiting their library. Then we will be ready to market the Felilcations and Museum volumes both. We talked with Radhika for about one hour with Rama-giridhari Das and there are several development with the American Association of Religions (AAR) that will be very favorable for NIOS's work.

So, we need to close here for the moment and do our last dash at packing and we are off to Mexico. We are very sincerely trying to call also, but honestly it takes a lot more energy than these correspondences so we hope to get to it as we get back to Nashville and can recoup our energy a little more.

Thank you so, so much for you personal tolerance and attention to us and of course your general educational efforts for humanity.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

Reciba mis humildes reberencias y mi cordial saludo 

Todas las glorias a Srla Prabhupada

Espero q esta carta lo encuentre mejor de salud, gracias por sacrificar tanto por las almas condicionadas.

Gracias por los cuestionamientos que me permitio hacerme Gurudeva sobre:

Voy a quedar en Sankirtan viajero para mas tiempo?
Voy a seguir Kardama Muni y ser casado con "Devahuti" y tener Senor Kapila para Hijo? O va a seguir sendero de Narada Muni? Indicacion?

He estado reflexionando por varios dias buscando una respuesta analizandome interiormente, disculpe la demora para responderle pero no deseaba escribir algo a la ligera, sobre estas preguntas tan determinantes en mi servicio devocional.

OK ahora llevo ya tres años y medio haciendo sankirtan de maraton en maraton, y me siento feliz me gusta mucho este  servicio, digamos que no he parado desde que comence,solo en junio y julio q nos internamos  a estudiar en cueramaro mexico, el varna y asrama actual al q pertenesco es śūdrá, brahmacari y estoy feliz asi.

Internamente Gurudeva, se que ud me conoce mejor que yo mismo, analizandome veo que tengo mucha pasion,

el sankirtan es mi servicio favorito porque me mantiene en constante oracion y me hace sentirme cerca de Ud, mi mente es bastante lujuriosa y esta muy apegada a la vida sexual, externamente por su miscericordia no he caido en relaciones sexuales ilicitas desde q comence a hacer servicio, pero internamente las tengo constantemente, me siento naturalmente atraido a contemplar los objeros de los sentidos y la lujuria me arrastra a hacerlo sin que pueda controlarlo, de ahi me doy cuenta q se genera el apego por seguir contemplando , luego se intencifica mi lujuria, y como externamente no deseo satisfacer esos impulsos entonces nace la ira, que es una mala hierba q debo erradicar (con su mescericordia) porque esta creciendo y creciendo al lado de la semillita de Bhakti q planto en mi corazon Gurudeva.

conquistar el deseo sexual no es una cosa pequeña, segun SS B. Vikasa Swami es el logro mas grande obtenible en el mundo material, y en una clase sobre el Upadesambrta Ud menciono q aspirando a controlar la lengua, lo que hablamos y lo que comemos, entonces podremos tolerar los Udara upasta vegam , la lujuria el fuego q todo lo devora.

Partiendo de este punto mi respuesta Gurudeva es que si aun siendo Brahmacari no he logrado avanzar ni siquiera en Vacah Vegam, y eso que estoy solo sin mas responsabilidad que salir a sankirtan y cumplir mi saddhana diario, como podre entonces controlar Udara upasta vegam estando asociado con una madre que es la idea del curso, si la meta es transformar la lujuria en amor se me hace mas posible en el ashrama en el q me encuentro ahora. 

pienso que debo trabajar mas interna e intensamente en mi proceso de servicio devocional amoroso desmotivado, por un periodo mayor al de estos 3 años que vamos, de una manera mas sincera, para ver si por su miscericordia puedo obtener la miscericordia de el Sr Gouranga para cualificarme con la fuerza espiritual adecuada y seguir sirviendolo de corazon  en el futuro si Ud desea que  cambie de ashrama, pues Gurudeva mi desceo mas intenso no es ser un devoto serio comprometico con la predica digno de ser llamado discipulo de Su Santidad Hanumatpresaka Swami, y poder presentar ante ud lo que mas satisface al maestro espiritual, que sus discipulos sean cualificados y atraigan mas discipulos al movimiento de Srla prabhupada.

Sin envargo gurudeva yo quiero rendirme a su desceo condicionado como soy no se lo que es mejor para mi porfavor instruyame.

su eterno sirviente

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Receive my humble and cordial greeting reberencias

All glories to Prabhupada SRLA

Q I hope this letter finds you in better health , thanks for sacrificing so conditioned souls.

Thanks for the questions that allowed me Gurudeva me on :

I 'm staying in Sankirtan traveler for longer?
I will continue Kardama Muni and be married " Devahuti " and having Lord Kapila to Son? Or will he follow the path of Narada Muni ? Indication ?

I've been pondering for several days looking for an answer internally analyzing me , excuse the delay to answer but did not want to write something light on these as crucial in my devotional service questions.

OK now take three and a half years doing sankirtan marathon in marathon , and I'm happy I really like this service , say I have not stopped since I started only in June and July q we penetrate to study in mexico Cueramaro the varna now the q pertenesco asrama is sudra , and I'm happy so brahmacari .

Internally Gurudeva, is that ud knows me better than myself, analyzing me see that I have a lot of passion ,

Sankirtan is my favorite service because it keeps me in constant prayer and makes me feel close to you , my mind is quite lush and is very attached to sex life , externally by its miscericordia have not fallen into illicit sex since I started making q service, but internally always have, I am naturally attracted to contemplate the objeros senses and lust drags me to do so without being able to control it , hence I realize q attachment is generated to continue watching , then my lust intencifica , and externally and do not want to meet these impulses then anger, which is a weed eradication q I (with mescericordia ) that is growing and growing beside the seed of Bhakti q planted in my heart Gurudeva born.

conquer sexual desire is not a small thing , according to SS B. Vikasa Swami is the greatest achievement obtainable in the material world , and a class on Upadesambrta q I mention you aspiring to control the tongue , what we talked about and what we eat , then we can tolerate Udara upasta vegam , lust q fire devours everything .

From this point my answer Gurudeva is that if even being Brahmacari have not made ​​progress even in vacaḥ Vegam , and that I'm just no more responsibility to go out sankirtan and do my sadhana journal as Podre then control Udara upasta vegam being associated with a mother that is the idea of ​​course , if the goal is to transform lust into love becomes more possible to me in the Ashram in the q I am now .

I think I should work more internal and intensely in my process unmotivated loving devotional service for a greater than these 3 years we go, in a more sincere way period , to see if their miscericordia I can get miscericordia of Mr Gouranga for qualify me with the proper spiritual strength of heart and continue serving him in the future if you want to change the ashram , as my most intense desceo Gurudeva is not a serious devotee to preach comprometico worthy to be called a disciple of His Holiness Swami Hanumatpresaka and ud to submit to what most satisfies the spiritual master, his disciples are qualified and attract more disciples to move SRLA Prabhupada .

No Gurudeva envargo I want to give up their desceo conditioned as I am not what is best for me please enlighten me .

Your eternal servant

Hare Krishna Maharaj, acepte mis reverencias, y perdoneme si he ofendido por ignorancia, espero que este muy bien de salud.

Perdoneme tambien por no escribirle en 2 meses.

Soy David Leyton de Santiago de Chile, muy feliz por su visita en Enero, su conocimiento me ha iluminado mucho y a mi pareja Macarena también, ella quedo muy contenta de verlo y escucharlo.

Desde que Enero estoy haciendo Brahma Muhurta, he fallado unos dias por cansancio pero siempre retomo la adoracion, me levanto a las 05:30 am saludo a las deidades, les ofresco un incienzo, les canto el Sri Sri Guru-astaka, kirtan y Sri Nrsimha Pranama.

luego canto 8 rondas, tomo desayuno y a veces leo (flojo) y luego me voy al trabajo, cantando un par de rondas en el camino.

participo de Bakthi Vriksa los sabado con debotos muy buenos.

canto mis 16 rondas, no como carne ni pñescado ni marisco,no me intoxico, no realizo juegos de hazar, pero vivo con mi pareja y no estamos casados.

Quiero arreglar con calma este año la desicion de casarnos, sin bajo ninguna presion, espero me entienda, soy un hombre muy apegado a los sentidos y le pido a Krishna que mejore mi situacion.

Donde se encuentra ahora maharaj? como esta su salud?

Le envio reverencias desde Chile y Macarena tambien.
