AGTSP paoho. We are so hoarse that we can't talk. Many very, very intense, usefule programs here with the universities. About 25 consulations with devotees daily and work with Dr. Bandyopadhaya and NIOS, Bhakti Vaibhava and Ministry of Education.... So far things are pretty balanced. We have repsonded to letters up to 6 days ago... now we go to our Saturday BhVai, WebEx class!!!
HPS: Also, exciting letters from the politics in Peru. Keeps us awake. Is so similar to what happened in Texas.
NaD >>> PAMHO AGTSP
What is the kind of politics that keeps us awake? To me comes in mind 2 possibilities: ISKCON politics or/and world politics.
HpS - ASA - Jaya! Iskcon Politics. We are working in Education so it is the Education politics. Working as an educational team, but also the relation between the Yatra and the school. In most of the Western led schools, Mayapura Institute, VIHE, Radha desa, Oxford Center. the School is a separate body in harmony with the local Yatra. But in Indian units I think the education is a PART of the Yatra, lile Radhaatha Swami's zone etc. This is old story. SB 1.17 near the end talks about the conflict, sympathy between Sanyasis and Kings. Is healthy politics to keep us awake. We are passionate, not always in pure goodness. So that can be O.K. we can use it for Krsna and not fall asleep!
Hare Krishna dear GM!
Please accept my prostrated Obeisances at your lotus feet
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Mayapur Dham is such a merciful and nice place. Now the weather has changed from hot and humid, to more cool and humid. It really gives some relief to feel some cold, because summer is sooo hot. But still we can experience ananda, even though sometimes we are sick, or having some other suffering, in the balance is always more good than bad.
Since 2 months I have been involved in Govinda’s restaurant. They asked me to manage the Snack Bar and to improve the cleanliness of the place, as it had very bad fame for many years. So I started very enthusiastic about the service. But now after 2 months I became frustrated because I have learnt about the Bengali management, and working with Bengali boss. And it is very difficult. And besides that I became so busy that I hardly have any time for reading and chant more rounds than the minimum.
Well besides that I have been chanting every day at least 16 rounds (most of time 20), i also try to do kirtana as much as I can, and following the 4 reg. Principles. And I wake up early every morning unless I am sick.
When will you be coming to Mayapur Gurudev?
Your aspirant to servant

Ps. Please forgive my offenses and negligence.
HpS - AGTSP paoho. SO nice to hear from you!!! How is the family??? We arrive in Mayapura like 25th February and stay until 5th March. Before that one week in CCU and then two weeks in Manipur. After that we will be more time in India but we are adjusting the time for Australia still!! We also want to get some of the mercy of Mayapura!
AGTSP paoho. He is Singing Kirtana!?
Querido y MUY Recordado Gurudev, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencoias, todas las glorias a srila prabhupada!! todas las glorias a Sri Sri radha Madhana Vihari!!
Querido Gurudev, espero se encuente muy feliz hoy que es el dia del ratha yatra en santiago de chile. Me imagino a Usted y a los devotos, y al señor Jaganatha muy feliz viendo a Su devoto puro. Ojala tenga la misericordia de poder paticipar en un ratha yatra que usted se encuentre fisicamente, con mi amado hijo y mi esposo. tambien me siento muy contenta por saber que algunas de las niñas que tuve lagran fortuna de enseñarles danza hoy bailaran para compacer al señor jaganatha. Me anima tanto!!, en poco tiempo spero poder retomar las clases a aniñas y jovenes en cordoba. hay un centro ahi donde dicte clases y la dueña es muy favorable con la conciencia de Krsna, le obsequie un cd de musica vaisnava y lo aprecio.estamos planeando fuionar danza . tengo la fortuna de que Franco me da ideas practicas para mi servicio de danza.estoy muy agradecida con mi señor Krsna.
cuando instrospecto mi pasado, me doy cuenta que , cuando leia el krsna book y veia el comportamiento de las gopis con sus familias, yo deseaba tomar el ejmplo de ellas y a pesar de el trato que recibia en la casa de mi familia biologica, yo trataba de ser amorosa con ellos.pero ahora me doy cuenta , gracias a mi esposo, que soy muy sentimental y como Usted me dijo una vez , muy emocional . esto no es muy bueno para mi. ahora poco a poco me doy cuenta que si ellos cometian ofensas con los devotos , ellos reciben la reaccion, y yo al escucharlos, me hace mal a mi vida espiritual. entonces me doy cuenta que por eso debia mantenerme lejos de es mala aasociacion, no era bueno para nadie.
Aunque me encuentro lejos de usted fisicamente, estoy recordadndo muchisimo todas sus palabras, instrucciones, y me hace sentir cerca de Su Persona, me pongo feliz solo de recordar y hablar de Usted, y entiendo lo tonta que he sido ( y todavia sigo siendo, pero creo k menos) de no darme cuenta de cuantas cosas no estaba haciendo pra servirlo, pudiendo hacerlas, cuanto tiempo perdido, pero la torta neceitaba un poco mas de tiempo para hornearse bien... Asi que ahora despues de todo lo que mi señor krsnita misericordiosamente nos esta despertando,despues de pasar : fuego, ahora lluvia, inundaciones, tormentas, etce, etc, nos muestra la naturaleza tal como es, me esta despertando a cada paso, le stoy agradecida.
Muchas gracias por su valioso tiempo Querido Gurudev:
esperando servir a sus piecesitos de loto que hoy estan danzando en el ratha yatra: Radha japa prati jalpa dd.
HpS - ASA - Jaya AGTSP paoho We were looking for you in Peru. But seems you could not get there. We are very happy to hear that you are happy and finding some practical service!!!! There were two Rathayatras here. Two days. Long and beautiful parade both days. There were 20 lady devotes in the same type of sarees leading and dancing. Was very attractive to everyone and very ecstatic for them. It is just practice for Goloka! Your emotions are very nice. Yes, adjust them in the association of your husband and then you should be a great team. I think Krsna will give you help in becoming very stable in your Sankirtana as a team! So very nice to hear from you... Nice picture. Your baby looks like a little angel... More news as from Cordoba as it develops!
Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Guru parampara.
Guru Dev, Pune devotees inquire me, about you, like, what is your Guru Dev's base location. What
should i say to them?
your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das
