AGTSP !!

Please accept our humble obeisances

Dear maharaja

We continue distributing books and finding a deeper meaning, rasa, need, and joy in doing it.  We have to communicate in French and English here in Montreal and be really sharp in the preaching when passers by require a bit more of info. We have Life comes from Life in french as well as Isopanishad plus Higher Taste,

HpS - ASA - Jaya!!!!  Isopanisad is so general that the verses appeal to many people. "Oh, that's the same God I worship! Let me read about that!"

Hare Krisna, Dear Gurudeva. These are my personakl reflexion from Mayapur:

Que diferentes pueden ser las cosas dentro de un mismo planeta!!!!. Salimos hace mas de una semana de Madrid con destino Mayapur (India) y pasamos de la ignorancia y la pasion mas absolutas a Sattva Guna y aun mas alla. Levantarse cada dia a las 3:30 AM para ir al programa espiritual por espacio de 4 horas y media es sin duda lo mejor que me ha ocurrido en mis 41 anos de vida. Las Deidades estan vivas!!!!!!!, danzan y cantan al son del ritmo de mrdangas, karatalas y 400 o 500 devotos. Luego las clases de Bhagvatam con eruditos vaisnavas, y donde el sonido del Krisna Kata supera la barrera de mi rudimnentario ingles ..... Que pasara cuando el viernes que viene abandonemos este santo lugar para regresar a las agitadas calles del Kalkuta y regresemos a Madrid?. Son dias de reflexion para afrontar nuevos retos espirituales y personales, sobre todo en el templo de Madrid, con la congregacion de Madrid, con mis queridos hermanos de Aranjuez, con mis queridos hermanos de Valls y aquellos que andan dispersos por Espana. Nuevos retos: Desarrollo Congregacional, expansion, amor, mas humildad, mas humildad, mas humildad, mas humildad, , mas humildad, , mas humildad, servicio devocional ..... "trinad api sunicena taror api sahisnuna amanina manadena kirtaniyah sada harih : Uno debe cantar el Santo Nombre del Senor en un estado mental humilde, considerandose mas bajo que la hojarasca de la calle. Uno debe ser mas tolerante que un arbol y estar dispuesto a ofrecer pleno respeto a los demas. En semejante estado mental uno puede cantar el santo nombre del Senor constantemente"

Please, let me keep at your Lotus Feet.
Your servant, Dandava Das.

                HpS - ASA -- TlgaSP....  Pfanrh...  Increible, no?!   Y el Templo de Entendimiento tiene que ser casi listo para abrir. Eso como 12-piso de alta!

Elefantes!

Samadhi de Prabhupada!

Ganga!

Gurukulas!

Asta sakhi, 24-hour kirtan, invitadossss, Bengalis, parikrama's...  Ooof.  Y va a ampliar. Tiene que vovler a Espana con la conciencia de compartir con otros, appreciando que ISKCON, Gaura-Nitai son mucho, mucho mas grande que ISKCON Espana (pero ISKCON Espana es lo mas importante). <img alt="smiley" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" title="smiley" />

Hare Krisna Dear Gurudeva. Please, accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope your are fine.

Carcika and me are fine, we can't groan, we must not groan.

The last Sunday we had a General Assembly to vote the members of the Temple's Committee. The members are:

• Jiva Tattva Das (He was elected by active members no in Governing Council)
• Jaganmohan Das (He was elected by member in Governing Council)
• Jharikhanda Goura Das (He was elected by active members no in Governing Council).
• Carcika Devi Dasi (She was elected by member in Governing Council. She's my wife).
• And me (I was elected by active members no in Governing Council)

We had our first meeting on this day and it was very positive.

Now Carcika dd and me have a lot of service: Madrid's Temple, Bhaktivedanta Institute under Yadunandana Swami direction. Seems to Krisna wants give us more and more service, problems, etc. Sometimes I tell Krisna: "Please, Don't love me so much". But I tell Him very low and He doesn't listen me. Seems it's our play. No, It's him play. He's so Merciful.

Next Sunday Carcika and me will fly to Mayapur. We'll be there during 2 weeks.

Well, now I must go because I’m working.

Thank you for all.

Please, keep me at your service under your Lotus Feet.

                HpS - ASA -  AGTSP  paoho Thank you so much for the news. We will also look at your other letters. We send the Kapi Dhvaja today. We need a little more service than we can handle, no? Then we stay with some pushing!

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gouranga
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
All Glories to H.H. Hanumatpresaka Swami

Please accept my most humble obeisance

Hare Krsna Gurudeva, I hope that everything is nice and the body doesn´t interfere so strongly in your plans. My name is Ignacio González, from Valparaíso, Chile.

All my family is all right… Goura-kunda mumbles some kind of maha-mantra in the kirtans, and sometimes alone. Even the cat is all right… he is a very bad person but a very good cat.

             HpS - AGTSP   paoho.  I guess we can't expect him to give up meat, fish and rats!

All principles, 16 rounds per day, sadhana lost! But always trying to get new strategies to re-establish the standard. Our service it has been going for a year and a half, good projects:

1. We are focus to rise the japa standard for myself and the community.
2. Getting a Web page for the nama-hatta (is a surprise for the community).
3. Working in doing some infographics about the chapters of the Bhagavad-gita.
4. Organizing a  cycle of conferences here to preach (we will do it at our level)

It´s going to be hard, but with your blessings and your teachings we will be able to pull this off.

About your visit this January, we have been talking with the Santa María University (Juan Ayala and Carlos Bustamante) to do a program with them about epistemology. The idea of the program is to have a gathering only of teachers and thesis students, but the specific format we have to re-discuss it.

Eternally your lousy servant

Ignacio

P.S: Someone told me that you were searching for the Professor Bustamante to do something in your book and that you need the data to reach him. I ask him about it, and he was very excited so here is his e-mail and phone...

               HpS - AGTSP.   So, nice to hear from you. Basic principle is to get up early and get your rounds, done.   Start with a vow you know you can do, like 4-rounds/day until the next Ekadasi. Then DO it!

After that re-evaluate and make another vow.

Rupa Goswami and Srila Prabhupada's advice.

Santa Maria is fine. We are doing, Carl Jung and Education in ISKCON so we could do epistemology very well.

What is an Educated Man: Technology, Stanislavskii, Jung and India.

Querido Guru Maharaja.

Por favor si, asi lo desea, acepte mis respetuosas reverencias postrado a sus divinos Pies de Loto.

                 HpS - ASA - Ha!  Ha!   Hare!   TlgaSP!   We are still with material desires but they are under control and diminishing. So, we are Madhyama-adhikari, but advancing. We don't have divine lotus feet. We are trying to fill a position designated by Srila Prabhupada and the GBC properly. 

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Todas las Glorias a Usted Guru Maharaja.

Disculpe por usar su valioso tiempo , es para contarle que por su misericordia sigo tratando de servir  a los devotos del Señor todos las fiestas , sigo cantando diariamente un poco mas de 16 rondas y siguiendo los 4 principios , hago ayuno completo los dias de Ekadasi y sigo disfrutando del Srimad Bhagavatam .Ayer hizo un año del inolvidable dia en que usted me bautizo en conciencia de Krishna, pido sus bendiciones para poder serle util.

Esperando el año nuevo para poder tomar su Santa asociacion y Orando por Su salud y su bienestar su inutil aspirante a sirviente Nanda raja das

                   HpS - AGTSP  Estamos pensando en Vd. Que pasa con Vd. Y aqui es una carta. Utiliza translate.google.com para traducir de Ingles a Espanol. Claro estamos en Argentina falta menos que seis semanas!             Oooof!  Muy bien su Sadhana, tiene que buscar modos entrar la filosofia de SB entre  sus relaciones con otros durante la dia!!

Hare Krsna! Todas las glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada y a usted Gurudeva. Por favor acepte mis más sinceras reverencias a sus pies de loto.

              HpS - ASA - - TlgaSP!  (Nosotros, Pies de Manazna)

Estimado Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaja. Por lo que escribió en su carta anterior creo estar lista para tomar primera iniciación de usted. La próxima semana tomare el curso de discípulos y hablare con mis hermanos mayores para saber cuales son los siguientes pasos. Ya tenemos la fecha para nuestro casamiento con Manuel. Es el 17 de Enero.

            HpS - AGTSP Eso es un Argentina, no?!!   Oooof.  Salimos para Chile 12 Enero!

Me alegra mucho q pueda visitar Mar del Plata, q conozca la finca y nos de sus bendiciones. Hay mucho, mucho servicio por hacer!. Los únicos adelantos que pueda llegar a tener son gracias a su asociación. Muchas gracias por su divina asociación, muchas gracias por tanta misericordia sin causa!. Y ya se viene la maratón de Diciembre....aquí donde vivimos es un pequeño pueblo en la costa. Y hay otros tantos para el sur y otros para el norte. Estamos planeando con Manuel salir por aquí a distribuir los libros de S.P. Sueño con que algún día se puedan hacer aqui esos festivales maravillosos como los de Indradyumna Swami en cada pueblito de Europa del Este! Pero por ahora nos conformamos con un poquito de Sankirtana.... Le adjunto unas fotos, y me despido enviándole mis más afectuosas y respetuosas reverencias. Bhaktina Juliana

HpS - 1) We must keep ourselves pure by Japa, 4-principles, morning program and then 2) Krsna will send innocent people to whom we can preach and 3) they must be patient to understand what is this material situation.

Chanting our pranam mantra is mercy of Srila Prabhupada for all of us. Formally in ISKCON the standard is that you can chant it after you are a Formal Aspirant and then also have a picture of our miserable self on the altar. Should be smaller and simpler than picture of Srila Prabhuapada and the Parampara.
