Hare Krisna!!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
Please accept my humble obeisances,

Dear gurudeva i can not explain how grateful i feel to have your divine association. Krisna Consciousness is so practical, so beautiful, so sublime. Simultaneously it seems you are so far away, because you are relishing at every moment trascendental pastimes at Goloka, but at the same time you are so close, because you have all the time to always speak with us, conditioned souls, enlighten us, your awkward children, in the path to the supreme abode.
It says in the sastra that devotional service is given only by Krisna or his pure devotee. So you are my only hope to one day attain such a matchless gift, you are the bonafide media to all auspiciousness, a direct connection to our founder Acarya and the Parampara. 
Please gurudeva never forget me, cause my life has no value without your guideness and instructions, i can render nothing worthy by myself, everything i have done and whatever i have accomplished is because your causless mercy upon me.
Most of the time i´m living in SAMA (the former loft) our health center with 3 other devotees. Grihastha bramachari asram.
16 rounds ok before 10 am (20 r kartik vrata), 4 principles strictly ok (relishing the importance to follow them and the results), arcanam simple but steady, gradually it will improve. Morning program fixed for one month now.
Preaching in mar del plata is growing little by little, utsaha.
I read your essay about jung and i liked it a lot, it will make part of the academic environment be interested in bhagavata purana. I´m trying to get his autobiography in spanish. I also feel inspired to get into the education field so i`m waiting for your seminars here in january. Are you reading TKG`s book? i have it in my library, so maybe i can join you.
Its been almost 6 month i´m following everything strictly. So i think maybe Mahajan Prabhu can write you a recommendation letter so i can become a formal aspirant for initiation. I have read the guru tattva file at least ten times. I know the standard very well
I really want to become a formal student, make this eternal to the mission so i´m praying for this mercy.

Hooked with great endeavor,
But HAPPY,
At your lotus feet always,
Bhakta Nicasio. 

HpS - AGTSP!    Thank you so much for the news. We still make so many choices for psychological and bodily comfort over pure devotional service. I am not relishing the pastimes of Goloka at every moment. We have a little advancement by a ----little---- effort and a !!!!!LOT!!!!!  of Srila Prabhupada Prasadam. What you say about us, when we apply it to Srila Prabhupada we feel very peaceful.

Yes, 6-months >>>========> Formal Aspirant!
Abhirama Das has Jung Bio-graphy in Spanish. I think Ambarisa Das may have it. It is very, very interesting. Interesting to think how Jung would have reacted in a conversation with Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Guru Maharaja, Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories Srila Prabhupada! We would like to let you know that our daughter was born yesterday at 10:47 am and weighed 8lbs 5oz. Thankfully she appeared on the very last day of kartik which is auspicious. We ask for your blessings for this little girl to be a servant of Gaura Nitai. Your aspiring servants, Rasa mandali devi dasi and Yogendra dasa

HpS - Jaya! And the daughter of Jiva Goswami and Sri, in Houston also happened almost, maybe the exact, same time. She also was pounds.

Thank you so, so much for all your efforts. Your daughter is not an ordinary person. Krsna does not send ordinary people to be the children of devotees. Now you have big responsibility to see that she is well protected so that she can grow up well and do wonderful things for society!

Jayanta das ISKCON Madrid.

11 years, 10 months ago by jayanta in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Querido gurudev: Pamho. Toda gloria a SP y sus seguidores fieles.

Espero que se encuentre bien de salud y en la misión de Srila Prabhupada.

Yo sigo sin grandes cambios. Sadhana de lunes a viernes 5:00 am ( aseo, despertar Deidades, 4 rondas, un poco de lectura de Srila Prabhupada o sobre Srila Prabhupada, gayatri, desayuno y a trabajar). El resto de rondas las canto durante el dia.

Mi fe en el proceso y en Srila Prabhupada siguen sin ningún cambio. Mi experiencia en las relaciones con los demás sigue creciendo. Tambien aumenta mi convicción de que debo actuar según mi conciencia y en conexión con Paramatma.

En cuanto al Templo de Madrid, desde mi perspectiva, no hay cambios cualitativos importantes.

Los cambios cuantitativos son de dos clases:

  -Espóradicos- temporales-explosivos (cambios que suceden temporalmente y se diluyen en el tiempo).

- Los cambios producidos por la propia evolución del proyecto (devotos que, sin hacer ruido, se van uniendo al proyecto y permanecen en el tiempo aportando estabilidad a su propia vida espiritual y al proyecto de prédica.

El exito del proyecto debemos medirlo en función de la satisfacción de Guru (Srila Prabhupada) y de sus seguidores fieles (devotos sin duplicidad que no buscan prestigio falso).

Pienso que Madrid seguira creciendo cualitativamente si no adulteramos el proceso y somos honestos aceptando nuestra posición social y espiritual y aceptando la posición que tienen los demás.

Sin mas y esperando tener pronto su asociación se despide

su sirviente

HpS - ASA - Jaya! TlgaSP. Reverencias a Vd! Hace basante tiempo no oir de Vd. Smt. Purnamasi Devi Dasi asistiendo bastante Japa Joe y tenemos pequeno oportunidad conversar durante Japa. Como entiendo es cierto aun poco desafilo con su cuerpo, no? Y tener nuevo bebe tambien es mucho servicio. Y tratando ayudar el templo con todo sus anos de experiencia!

Jaya!

Si, Prabhupada estaba emfatizando otra vez, otra vez: 16-rondas entusiastas y 4-principios estrictamente. El processo claro. Y tambien que no podemos ser entusiastos sin la sadhana regular de mangala arati, kirtan y clase que el nos di, do, da,de (??) 'gave'.

Entonces, adelatamos.

Por favor, entiedo que esta muy ocupada Vd, pero si puede enviar unas noticias de Madrid a veces vale mucho!

Hermoso foto!

paoho & bw.
We sent the Kapi Dhvaja today. It was a lot of work, but very much in proportion. We are struggling to serve well, but we still have attachments to psychological gratification.
By the mercy of His Divine Grace we progress!

We must try to do our best and not abuse his mercy.

However, even Dhruva Maharaja had to suffer the previous reactions of his acts before he could get to the spiritual platform of service perfectly.

All the letters are answered up to one week and two days ago. Some very interesting letters.

We reviewed Museum Book up to page 55.

Yesterday was 4-hour kirtan in Dr. Desai's home. Was a lot of work for us. About 35-people came. We divided it into 20-minute slots so twelve different devotees had a chance to lead. It was very, very enriching for the community to hear the different levels and types of conscious of our members.

Progress!!!!   Progress!!! !
Wonderful Book Distribution letters from Spain, Mexico and Peru.
O.K. Now we chant som Japa and go to NGD's home for evening program and walk.

QUERIDO GURUDEVA:

Acabamos de terminar 10 dias de sankirtan mi papel fuede lider y me di cuenta que se necesita de mucho entusiasmo para poder impulsar al grupo a sankirtana. nos dimos entre nuestro grupo 2800 libros pequeños, 300 libros grandes (colecciones de srmad bhagavatam y viajes y ciencias), y 50 BG. y entre todos los devotos que salimos a sankirtana nos dimos como 8000 libros.

                   HpS - ASA - Oooof!  Increible!!!  Super. Esperamos realizar nuestra papel en ISKCON bien como Vds!!

Ahora despues de la fiesta de Govardan y la triste partida de nuestro fundador Acaria estamos en cueramaro leyendo y tomando fuerza para la intenza maraton de Diciembre, querido Gurudeva porfavor deme sus bendiciones para poder ser un buen sirviente suyo  y de los vaisnavas,  porder tolerar todos estos anartas que surgen y tener la sabiduria para poder derrotarlos.

Muchas gracias por su constante dedicacion y esfuerzo por mantenernos entusiasmados en el servicio devocional.

Su Eterno sirviente Vrajendra Kumara das

               HpS - Tenemos 150 Isopanisad en ruta para Sankirtan aqui. Aun intentamo ayudar Madre Jambavati DD con sus dientes, oral surgery, con la ayuda de Arya y Karuna. Ya obstaculos pero vamos a superar!
