                    HpS - ASA ---- Aaaaah. More details.  Second initation, Third initiation... Let's go forward. Through Parampara we can experience direct relationship with Krsna: Girivar. do this, so that!!!

Please post short data on the Report Tab above if you have not done it!

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP

Hope you have reached Peru and are celebrating/preaching christmas in summaer. We have met both Prana Pr and Ramagirdahri Pr. goloka education seems to be very big long term project.

We have been chanting 16 rounds for five years only problem was illicit sex. it gradually decreased over the years.for last six months we are able to avoid it. As you will be not visiting India again in thsi year, will it be possible to take intiation in this trip of yours in India.

HpS - AGTSP. Is really rule of ISKCON, GBC, that candidate has to be following for one year, but... you MUST contact your Temple President and get letter of authorization now to be a Formal Aspirant.

Having taken this intiative, we are scared. we may be born in India, we are also filled dirty thoughts, like westenres as u mentioned in ur annual report. we are happy if we falldown, we will be getting the reactions ourself and parampara will not be bothered. our biggest worry has been not our falll down , but karma that parampara has to take.

anyway we would serve you, in our best capacities. even dog can serve in this movement regards, 
harsh

               HpS - Jaya! nehabikramo naso sti... all the effort you are taking is eternal. Krsna is not only just, He is GENEROUS. Maybe seems progress is slow, but we are trying to do something that will last FOREVER. O.K. Letter from you Temple President.

Dear Gurudeva, I hope you find yourself improving your health every day.

Well, this report is because I didn’t fully understood egis year anual report structure, so I guided myself in oldest reports models.

Anual report,

1. Was able to follow the four regulative principles this year?

  Answer: yes I strictly followed my principles this year, but I had a week rounds period.

2. Was able to chant 16 enthusiastically rounds daily?

  Answer: To be fully honest Guru Maharaj, I had a bad season of lazy rounds, finishing late, even with days that I couldn’t finish my 16 rounds chanting in the next day the remaining rounds of the day before, it was in the middle of the year, but everything is back to normal now.

3. Who is your administrative ISKCON authority in this Sankirtana institution of Srila Prabhupada?

  Answer: My administrative authority as temple president is Amara Gouranga das(JPS)

4. Any other commentaries.

  Answer: Everything is OK with my spiritual life, I worship my deities, always keep the devotees association, go to the temple programs in Santiago, and for almost 2 years now I visit the city of Sao Paulo - Brazil almost every two months. I go there to the temples and the programs.My relationship with my fiancé and his family is very good, and also with my family everything is doing great.Thanks to Krsna I have beautiful associations with the devotees, now organizing everything for next year, making plans to work and study. This past year I didn’t have a steady service in the temple, I helped in what they needed every time I visited. I also try to do sankirtana adapted to me, I believe I’m really shy and that is really strong in me, when I go out I try to leave some books in the airplanes seat pockets, or papers with information, and like this I try to contribute in Srila Prabhupada’s mission :) .

Well this is my 2013 yearly report of 2013,

So please once more accept my humble obediences , Thanks for your time reading this yearly report,

Your humble servant,

Dear Gurudeva, 

First of all I hope every time to see you in good health.

I would also like to thank you for responding my last report, about how to help the senior devotees who move away from Krsna, and how bhaktas devotees help the initiated devotees, I went thru the upadesamrita again and found things that I haven’t noticed before and it complemented very nice with your answers :) .

               HpS -- Jaya! - AGTSP - Paoho. See you soooon.

Todas las glorias a Sri Sri Goura Nitay!!!!!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prahupada!!!!!

Todas las glorias y mis más respetuosas reverencias en el auspicioso día de su aparición querido Gurudeva!!!!

Gurudeva es gracias a su misericordia que una tonta como yo puede hacer algún avance en su vida espiritual, muchas gracias por todo!!!!! Oramos a Radharani para tener siempre sus instrucciones y asociación,  y para que nos de la inteligencia de seguir esas instrucciones adecuadamente.

Hacemos una revisión resumida de este año…. 16 rondas / 4 principios estrictos, servicio devocional ( deidades, guirnaldas, lectura, etc) , curso de discípulos, este año he desarrollado la constancia y determinación, la voluntad de seguir adelante pese a cualquier obstáculo o impedimento que se presente… nuestra vida va tomando una buena dirección y varias cosas se han ido resolviendo en estos 12 meses,  claro que hemos tenido  pruebas, sobre todo para la alocada mente, pero con la misericordia de Srila Prabhupada y ud he podido tolerarlas y salir victoriosa, este año ha sido tan bueno para conocerme, para saber que quiero realmente, y el Santo Nombre es tan poderoso, que al cantarlo con el corazón, podemos tener una perspectiva correcta de las cosas, de lo que realmente somos y queremos, y cada día pensamos que el único refugio seguro para nosotros son los Santos Nombres, Srila Prabhupada y Ud. Gurudev, y quiero permanecer vida tras vida sirviéndolos!!!!

Gracias Gurudeva por ser una fuente de constante entusiasmo, dedicación y humildad para todos sus discípulos, bienquerientes, y para todos aquellos que tienen la fortuna de conocerlo.

Mis respetuosas Gurudev!!!!! el Señor Nrsimhadeva lo proteja en todo aspecto, para que siga llevando el mensaje del  Señor Gauranga a cada alma con la que se encuentre!!!

Se despide eternamente agradecida

Bhaktin Andrea 

HpS - ASA - Jaya.  TlgaSP.  Esperamos que sus austeridades penetran entre su corazon y renaniman su relacion personal con Krsna!!!!
