Ahora reporte de sadhana:
Levantandonos 3:00 am diariamente, tomando curso de Padapadma en Cuerámaro, Gurudeva es un néctar leer el Srmad Bhagavatam, me siento muy feliz, vamos en el canto 1 capítulo 14.-La desaparición de Krsna. Los domingos tenemos festival con los devotos grihasthas de aquí, y los lunes son de descanso y recreación (: Practicamente todo el día estamos en la finca desde 4:45 am- 8:30 pm (humm..a veces un poco pesado, pero recordamos Su esfuerzo y ejemplo y eso nos da ánimos para seguir entusiastamente). Cantando 18 rondas diarias procurando que sean por la mañana. Leyendo Prabhupada construyó una casa en donde el mundo entero puede vivir.
Queremos tomar serio refugio de Prabhupada a través de sus libros y también de Usted, querido y santo Gurudeva. Escuchando algunas pocas clases que tengo suyas.
Guru Maharaja estamos realizando que la convivencia es todo un arte y la mayor austeridad... ha ha ! Viendo como poco a poco van saliendo anarthas que no conocíamos en nosotros mismos.. puaj !..pero hay que seguir limpiando el corazón.
En otros temas, tenemos una pregunta:

Son los mismos pasatiempos en Goloka que en Gokula ?!

             ASA - En Gokula, tierra, las Gopis tienen esposos y hay demonios, pero en Goloka, cielo, solamente piensa que tiene esposos y solamente hay rumoures de demonios.

Por último, rogando nos dé el preciado refugio de Sus Pies de loto  [Lodo terapeutico]. 
Por favor disculpenos todas las ofensas que pudimos haber cometido, orando ya no hacerlo más.
La aspirante a la devoción más neófita de todas, bhaktin Atenea.

               ASA - HpS -  Bien oir de Vd.  Es casi cierto estuve Vd un Vaisnava en su vida anterior.  Posible un miembro de ISKCON  ....   Adelante.  Adelante!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

                 ASA - Oink!    AGTSP....   

    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    This letter is answer to your earlier letter. Where you wanted to know with whom, we
    report/interact in the Local temple.

    While in Pune Temple - we report H. G. Balaram Hari Das. And on phone we
    report/communicate to H. G. Gopendra Das, ISKCON, Vrandavan.

    We discuss with both of them, H. G. Gopendra Das, ISKCON, Vrandavan is very senior.
    We call him as per queries.

    Some time, we discuss with other senior B'chari in local temple. But Mainly we
    communicate with H. G. Gopendra Das, ISKCON, Vrandavan on phone and H. G.
    Balaram Hari Das ISKCON, Pune.

    Thank you, Guru Dev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

                HpS - ASA - Jaya.   Gopendra Das is many years in Vrndavana???   I probably know him by sight if he is.    Where is he from?   How did he meet Prabhupada and become a devotee????

Querido Guru Maharaj,

Acabo de terminar de leer el Kapi Dhvaja de este mes. Y no sé si lo he hecho antes, creo que sí, pero de todas formas le reitero nuestra gratitud por todo el esfuerzo que usted hace para mantenter esta relación con todos nosotros sus bienquerientes a través del Kapi Dhvaja.

En general, la asociación con usted por internet es muy estimulante para llevar nuestra vida espiritual y es  un regalo que llevaremos siempre en nuestro corazón y por el cual, repito, estamos muy pero muy agradecidos.

Estamos afinando los detalles para aprovechar y optimizar su estadía acá en Chile en octubre-noviembre próximos.

Ahora está Vaiyasaki prabhu en Santiago y estamos promocionando sus conciertos.

Mis reverencias
Hare Krsna
Jagad Guru das,  Stgo, CL

              HpS - ASA -   Ha!     Ha!    Jaaa!         TlgaSP!           Muy interesante carte!   Mooo  Chas Gracias!!            Por que?   Por que tenemos que pensar no solamante en el contenido, tambien     en        QUIEN es el autor.

              El Autor Es Un Periodista Trabajador Professional, no???

Entonces, como puede ser un periodista????         Por apreciar periodicos.       Entonces vale mucho sus comentarios, pero tambien en parte es por que Vd es un leyente professional.    Entonces, como podemos mejor nuestra comunicacion, Senor Periodista, relacionar mejor con gente co mu mu mun?  ?           ?   [Monitos y Puerquitos...]

          Claro la cosa mas importante es tener mas decir, no!!?              Y eso esta basado en experimentar mas.  Y eso es basado en esoforzando realizar mas y mas austeridades en el servicio de Srila Prabhupada...  y central es distirbuir sus libros!!!!!!!!         Que el gobierno de CL   toma   Upadesamrta como un texto basico para todos las escuela en Chile!    Jaya!          Shows de television basada en NOI...

                 Que piens, Senor Jadad-guru Das??????   Et al?????

Hare Krisna, mi querido Guru Deva Hanumat Presaka Maharaja por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias Todas Las Glorias a Srla Prabhupada.

Por el momento estoy en el Templo y no voy casi nada a Navalakunda.

Su Sirviente Jagamohan Das

             HpS - Jaya!         Necesitamos mantener nuestra asociacion con Srila Prabhupada, no?   Necesitamos participar en reuniones por diferentes asuntos en su cuarto cada dia. Esta bien?  Claro es con todo respecto a devotos mas cerca de Srila Prabhupada como Tamal-krsna Goswami o otros, pero, somos miembros de ISKCON y Srila Prabhupada es muy claro que nadie esta superando su posicion como Fundador ni tampoco como Acharya, el quien dirigir por ejemplo.   Esta bien?   Si, no tiene esta relacion practico vamos a sentir como peros de la calle sin un refugio actual, sin un servicio fuerte, bien integrado con la plan personal, actual, hoy dia, de Srila Prabhupada como advanzar la predica en      -Madrid-  ....       O.K????

Hare krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP
this question should have been either in chapter class or module review class, in BHVAI canto 4.

This is regarding offence of Surici against Dhruv Maharaj.

http://vedabase.com/en/sb/4/9/23 says "When Suruci insulted Dhruva Mahārāja, he was just a child. She of course did not know that Dhruva was a great recognized Vaiṣṇava, and so her offense was committed unknowingly. When one serves a Vaiṣṇava unknowingly, one still gets the good result, and if one unknowingly insults a Vaiṣṇava, one suffers the bad result."

But Surici offended him when Dhruv ji was not a vaisnava. What was the fault of Uttama, he was younger than Dhruv Maharaj, he did not even insult him.

we are asking this because every one is potential vaisnava. but he follow Ksatriya rules it is ok to insult opponent as a sport. so is it that all insult we have done to people would be treated as vaisnava apradh.

    HpS - ASA -  AGTSP    paoho.   Hmmmm!     We guess that Dhruva Maharaja was a "vaisnava" right from the very beginning. As soon as he had information that the best way to solve his problems was to go to Visnu he accepted the offering with full determination. He could have thought, "No, that's to hard!  I will do it myself. I am more than the almighty God. I will corrupt my brother by starting with offering him chocolates. Haw!   Haw!   Hawww....".   So he took to Visnu worship, and he didn't know about love God as an option, no?   Did Narada Prabhu give him that option?

          Yes, it seems that maybe we should not go to the Temple because there we might commit some unconscious offense to some one and if we stay in hell then we won't commit any Vaisnava aparada.  Ha!  Ha!  Hare!!!!                Guess, this is just the way it is.  What we want is at the Temple so we HAVE to go, but....  we have to be careful!           Then Uttam, brother.  Maybe he was guilty because he didn't protest the treatment of his brother.   Laksman, Bharata, they didn't tolerate the mistreatment of their Brother...   Hmmmm

              A G T S P !
Paoho....  Oink!      Oinnk!         Whoop!    Whoop!             Click!/Click!      (How does Patrak Das translate, "Oink!   Oink!   Whoop!   Whoop!" into Spanish?  What does a pig or monkey say in Spanish?    "Click/Click" is what we guess a scientist would say.)

                Here we (Monkey/Piggy et al) are still in Houston, Texas, ISKCON.  We look out from our second story, royal apartment in the new Sannyasi Palace. It is very nice facility. We have a sitting room, bedroom and private bath. There are three more rooms like this and a common library/conference room, dinning room and kitchen. It is all on Radha Lane, which has two of six planned houses done.

It is three minute walk past all devotee houses to  Radha Nila-madhava's Temple, but we always try to remember that the buildings are not the best measure of the Bhakti. The service of the Deities, the Sankirtana, the Sadhana are also very important, essential.

                  You can see from the letters that we are struggling just like you - some better, some worse than us.   We just caught up all the letters to three days ago!    We have 14-letters there to answer.   We are suffering like anything from social and political violence that we get ourselves into because of our arrogance and also because we are trying to serve Srila Prabhupada as Sannyasis.

Also, we are satisfied with the intellectual contribution that we can make in classes and counseling.   There is so much we could write:

~ Who - Hari lila Das has been so, so, attentive to Lord Nrsmhadeva's needs and our Sankirtana partner. Also prominent is Radha Krsna das B'cari, but many more here. 

~We talk with Nitai-gaurasundara Das about every three days and Dr. Samaresh each week. We are doing Web-page development for the Ministry and increasing Sastric studies. We have a letter to answer from Dinadayal Das and Braj-bihari Das in this regard, and we have to do our BhVaibhava study next.     It is 5PM.   [We have to get some confidential ecstacy daily].

~NIOS development involves work with Dr. Samaresh, M. Jambavati's book and trying to develop our relationship with Goloka Education. You can google their web page. Whatever it says there they actually do.

~~    It seems that a lot of this is being able to get these all projects on a simple calendar, priority list and then progress little by little. Hansadutta told us that he had to go full-bore on one projects and get it done. He could not keep may rods in the fire at the same time.      It is tough for us also and we have a LOT of anxiety that we are taking proper care of things.       We must chant more and surrender all these plans to Krsna.

~ ~We just woke up Lord Nrsmhadeva and the Berkeley Temple altar. We offered Them a pint of water. We cook for the Lord daily now!    Garbanza beans and split green-peas, carrots, parsely, ghee and salt.  For breakfast fruit and milk.   Some Maha-prasadam from Radharani and Nila-madhava.  In the afternoon, maybe fruit and milk. After class, some fruit.

~ ~ ~ Today we did Japa Joe! (After two hours rest last night). Mangala arati - more Japa.      [About 7-people for Mangala arati. Radharani is so beautiful.]     Had a two hour nap. We gave Temple class, listened to Hawaii class, we give it tommorrow, pretty nice work on the Japa Joe power point show for Proffessor Campbell, had a two hour nap, will present at the 'Simple Living High Thinking' weekly meeting in the Gauranga Hall. [It is for Non-Indians, Westerners.  Nice program!]   (We were not supposed to do this, one class a day, but it was scheduled without Hari-lila Swami's knowledge) then run back to our Ashrama in the Sannyasi Palace and do our Bhakti Bhaibava Partner Study Meeting wit Sri Hari Das.

~Hmm?  Letter to Braja and Dinadaya????

~ ~ ~ Now we will just write our ideas for the theme for NIOS annual event.  What do you think. Then we have to do our Bh. Vai, SB 4.9 studies and take a quick bath following our Sannyasa Guru, B. S. Damodar Swami and chant 12-more rounds to keep up with our25-32/day.

          Ha!   Ha!   Haw Ray!           When we write it all down. It is insane. Seems like six hours/day rest in three 2-hour naps. We could eat a little better and probably reduce and regulate our sleep a little more. So, you can see, we are not Uttama adhikari yet but we are in progress. We offer our respects to the so, so many more advanced devotees in ISKCON than us.  When we look out at the devotees in front of us, we can honestly look at each one and think, "Yes, in terms of his position it is quite possible that he is more advanced than we are". We don't know.
