Hare Krsna Gurudeva
Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Dear Guru Maharaja, I want to apologize because I didn't report myself for a long time. 
I was in maya, in Peru with my family from April to August, enjoying of their love and affection toward me. I like to be with them, but I relaxed little bit.

                    ASA - AgtSP    paoho.  please forgive that we do not answer letters to quick!!

......I think I was also tired from the time I spend in Mexico. I really enjoyed in CK the association with that yatra, and I growed a LOT, but my body and also my mind had an intense time.

Now I just arrived to Radhadesh dham, Belgium. I came from France, where I helped my younger brother Franco to install himself for his own superior studies. 

                    ASA- France?!!  What he does there!

...I just arrived yesterday, and I feel very happy to be here. I loved the morning program, the SB class was super! Easy to chant my rounds with the association of the other matajis, nice breakfast prasada! 
Tomorow I have my first day of ETR Education Studies, Theology and Religion. I am a little afraid about how to make new friends, because all my friends from the last time I was here are adults, but somehow it is difficults for me to be confident with young devotees like me <img alt="blush" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/embaressed_smile.gif" style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6;" title="blush" />, I feel nervous!

              ASA -  Why???????????      Let us know about the ETR  program.  We can steal ideas for ASA  (haw, haw, haw  (spy))!

I hope this year will be more instrospective, and I would like to challenge myself to very serious and to take advantage of all the opportunities I have and what I learned in this past years being in CK.
I would like to try to please you with this endeavor of studying education, and trying to become a helpful and qualified disciple. I am very happy to be here, now, and I am ready to start my own education!

Gurudeva, please please excuse me because I relaxed for a moment. Now, I want to take care properly of my spiritual life again.

your insignificant servant

            asa - Don't smoke or drink!!!!              We have same problem.  We do artificial austerity for fame and prestige in front of the devotees and then we have to eat chocalte covered pnuts as result!

Dearmost Srila Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja, 
My obeisances at Your lotus feets.

               ASA - AGTSP.   our swollen feet.

All glories to You and Prabhupada!

Here the Janmastami festival was nice. Several devotees looking to serve, and this is the real opulence in the vaisnavism. 

I really miss Your presence. Right now, the presence and preach of advance souls, who are the guides of us, is reserved for the lucky people who travel. 

I hope You will visit Peru again. 

Please, consider, even in January, to visit Uruguay, at least for one day. This will be the seed for the transformation for a yatra who really need Your preach. 

Your servant

World Holy Name Week

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

His Holiness Lokanatha Swami sent us the following information:
This year World Holy Name Week is from September 17 - September 26. Your planning of your participation should start NOW!
Here is some of the ideas, from WHNW committee, on what we can do during

WHNW.
1. Nagar Sankirtan - Harinaam processions with WHNW and mahamantra banners.
2. 24 hours and/or 12 hours Sankirtan yajna - Non-stop kirtan for 24/12
hours.
3. Japathon - Pledges from devotees and congregation to chant extra rounds
during this period.
4. Morning Bhagvatam class on Holy names as the theme - Morning Bhagvatam
classes emphasizing on glories and importance of Holy Names.
5. Japa Seminars – Seminars on japa related topics e.g japa reform, 10
offenses, types of japa etc
6. Japa Retreats – Group of devotees do japa retreat camps under proper
leadership and guidence.
7. Sunday feast lectures & dramas – Preasentations based on importance of
Holy names and related topics.
8. Japa Booth – Putting a table with beads and pamhplets in the temple
encouraging new comers to get the beads and chant.
9. Inter Faith events - Invite other religions/faiths for Kirtans and other
Holy Name related events.
10. Radio Shows - Broadcasting Hare Krishna Kirtans, specially Srila
Prabhupada dhun on radio.
11. Holy Name walks - Padyatras to nearby towns and villages to distribute
holynames, prabhupada books and Prasad.
12. Harinaam concerts - Arrange Harinaam concerts (Kirtan in different
styles and many musical instruments) for public.
13. Celebrities - Get the cricket/Film stars and other celebrities for
public chanting events During WHNW.
14. Banners - Post Hare krishna mahamantra and WHNW banners/hoardings
throughout the citiy/town/villages.

18. Giftshop SALE – Special discount on Kirtan/bhajan CD’s/DVD’s during
this period.
 
19. Truck Kirtan - Performing kirtan from moving motorized vehicles like
flatbed trucks, double decker buses, etc. This produces an effect of a
moving stage.
20. Harinam Rathcart - Just like many people are attracted to Jagananatha
Rathayatra, and enjoy pulling the cart and serving the Lord, similarly,
people will be attracted to pulling a cart with Harinam Prabhu on the cart.
A procession with big Harinaam posters, nicely decorated on the cart with
loud kirtan along with distribution of parsadam, mahamantra stickers &
Srila Prabhupada Books.
21. Kirtan Mela - Arrange festival of Kirtan, a couple of days or at least
one day festival with Holy names as the center.

Resumen: invitados[ 50% devotos que pertenecen a ISKCON + 50% de devotos que pertenecen a Vrnda = un día cantando mucho mucho el Maha Mantra*] .... Pero falta El invitado más importante: Usted Gurudev + lo recordamos* pronto vamos al Japa Joe. También en ese día meditaremos en Usted.

Gracias por darnos el mejor regalo: <Krsna>

               HpS - ASA --- Jaya!   TlgaSP.    Por Paramadvaiti Swami en iniciacion el pide de los aspirantes cuantos rondas y cuanto de los 4 principios va a seguir. Eso es algo diferente de ISKCON y por nosotros muy diferente de Srila Prabhupada como Founder Acharya. Es un punto de discussion entre nosotros y Maharaja. Como se llama su estimado esposo???   (Hasta 24 Septiembre).
Esperando que es un dia muy auspicioso y tambien ofrecer nuestras saludos a Maharaja. Jaya! Hare Krsna.

Report from Toronto

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! 
It has been too long since I last wrote. Reading the kaphi dvaja inspired me to finally write. I suffer from procrastination. Regarding the date for next year's ratha yatra festival on Toronto it will be the second weekend of July - the 12 and 13 of July 2014!! We look forward to hopefully see you!

     HpS - ASA -- AGTSP!   Paoho.  Yes, so nice to hear from you. O.K. RY dates are on our Calendar.  We are sure inclined to come, and now it is on the Calendar.

Yogendra and I are having a daughter :) She is expected on November 11. Very soon basically. Of course we are not agreeing on a name... Maybe you have some suggestions maharaja?

            HpS - Very nice. She's not an ordinary person.  One factor is that the day of the week she appears fixes the first letter of the name. That is why P'pada kept same first names at initiation (I hear). So, ask some Vedic Indians to help. Beyond that I don't have any ideas, but don't start arguing where she will go to college yet. (Ha!  Ha!  Ha!)

When I sent the last letter I forgot to include a question. One of my husband's friends got us a set of Gaura Nitai deities in April. Recently we started to do regular offering of incense in the morning. Should we do a more elaborate arti or simply incense is ok?

          HpS - Is nice to offer a flower.  You and Yogendra can even look for flowers to steal during the day.

I become afraid that They don't get such a high standard of worship as that in the temple and therefore are committing offenses.

          ASA - Main offering is love.  That will tell you what to do. Second is cleanliness and Third is punctuality. Set a time standard you can do. Fourth is all the details in the Deity worship hand book. Be sure to give them regular classes so they get good character development and don't grow up to be crimminals.

My sadhana is steady. Chanting 16 rounds, 4 principles. Currently reading 4th canto of Bhahavatam about Prthu Maharaja. He just became content with only performing 99 horse sacrifices.

              HpS - We are on Chapters 17-18 this week.

I am glad to hear you are healthy.

Your aspiring servant, Rasa-mandali devi dasi

                      HpS - ASA -  Your aspiring, guru, teacher, counselor.   Please give our respects to Yogindra Ji and your family and President!
