Se esta dando el Curso Introductorio a la filosofia Vaisnava para adolecentes y adultos. el espacio para los niños ya se esta comprando el material para construirle un lugar arriba para que ellos se recreen mientra esta la clase las fiestas de domingos..

                                                                                                          teresaHpS - ASA -  AGTSP   paoho.  Our interne

t is terrible here.  We cannot see what we are wiriting until 3-mnutes after we write it.Thank you for your l

etter.  We read it.  Is nice nws about Maharaja intiations etc.We don'y understand about your talking to Candra mukhi.  It is something confdent

Dear Maharaj:

Namaste, etc.

1. What is a nakshatra? It is a group stars close enough to be called a constellation. There are 27 such groups that the moon moves through each month on a daily basis.

   ASA -  AGTSP  paoho.  Ooof!     Daily basis we have monthly movement.  !! ? Confusing!

However, when it comes to full moons, there are only 12 plus every 3rd year an extra one (adhik masa) in a single year. This can be very easily seen as the full moon moves through the 12 constellations of the zodiac (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, ..., Pisces) in one year's time; thus the Vedic constellations are portions of the 12 constellations of the zodiac.   ASA - Brother if you have a Day Job keep it. Your vebal description of optical motions are too

hard to follow. How can the full moon move throught the twelve signs of the Zodiac?  We thought that we moved through them one month at a time?

2. Go to www.astroviewer.com and click on "Interactive night sky map" and when the button labeled "Start Astroviewer" click on that. Next, select Ecucador, Quito. Since Quito is located on the equator (which divides the northern hemisphere from the southern hemisphere of the Earth), this is a great place to watch the full moon advance each month through the 12 constellations of the zodiac.

3. You'll need the dates for the full moons so go to www.timeanddate.com and select "Moon Phases"; then, select Equador, Quito for 2012. Plug these dates into astroviewer and you will see the advancing moon. This will show you that each and every full moon is uniquely identified with certain background stars; ie, the various constellations of the zodiac. Since the various nakshatras are foreign to us Westerners, the constellations of the zodiac work best for us as an introduction to the basic concepts of the lunar calendar.

4. You should also note that from Jan/09/2012 through Dec/28/2012 there are 13 full moons, starting and ending with the constellation of Gemini. Make sure you select constellation names, "latin" and that you select show celestial equator. It is important to note that the stars of the night sky are seen as comprising a sphere that surrounds the Earth globe.

5. Please let me know when you have completed lesson one. This will help you start your journey through the French Alps!

Ys, Saranga Thakura dasASA -  Whoop Whoop.  Co completely incomrehensible.   Why are you giving us 101  beofre 1AABC.   101 is for third year students!!    Laos the damn robot has a terrible internet connectin here in Guayaquil.  We cant even see what we ar typing until one minute ater we type it.    HpS Swami is cahint Japa acrooss the temple rom.  It is like Mayapura here.  We are abov eht Centinanial Plaza.  There is lots of fruit and lots of people to talk to .Do you get 16 rounds done before 10AM in the moringing?So nice to hear from you!!!!

All Glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

P.A.M.H.O.

Hare Krsna Maharaja, 

Thank you very much for the last answer you gave me in the response of my last letter, I fell really blessed by my chance of having your association for a feww days in Santiago, I really enjoyed your classes and I was particullary interested in the academic preaching you showed me, I boughth some of the books you showed in your class and recently I picked then and they are a really interesting aproach for a diferent group of people. I have uncles and ants working as university teachers, and I'm really eager to show then some of the books I bought, maybe some time when you are in Brazil you may be willing to do a program in their university? 

I've been chanting my 16 rounds, following 4 principles, now I'm in US visiting my family, and visiting the temples in NY and the 26 2nd avenue. I'll be back in Sao Paulo friday.

I really hope you are felling rested and better from your health, hope to see you in US when you are here as well and hopefully you will let me have your mercyfull association, how can I check the dates from your tour? 

             HpS - ASA -  AGTSP!      paoho.   Calendar always ys updated at www.jayarama.us/kd/cal.txt

If you don't mind would also like to ask something, hope not to botter you...

Talking to professors and cientists, once I got asked, "ok so the karma of someone decides some stuff in your life, but we genetically prove that some deseases pass genetically from father to son and so on, but let's assume that the karma puts you in the family with the desease in question, but what about the deseases like alcholism, or even some addictions that some people may have that are genetically stronger in one or in other? Some people are genetically inclinaded to be addicted to tobacoo but never smoked in their lives, but some will never quit smoking, so what is the role in karma in this cases?" 

  HpS it is hard to understand the exact lgic of the questions.  also the interent is bizaare here and we cannot read what we are typing until two minutes after we type it so many spelling mistakes.
Some times the inclinations from karma as expressed n the genes are very strong. We cant avoid them. Do we expect to find a "chaste" dog?  He/She is a dog, they will be FORCED to have sexual relatins.   In other situations, species, families, the impuse is not so strong so  we can control it by our free will some times or always.  Is this the question???

I really apreciate the time you get only by reading this, and hope i don't botter when writing to you... Hope to see you soon, and thanks again for everything!

Your aspiring servant,

Rafael Nitay- Sao Paulo Brazil

    HpS - Jaya!    It is n bother..   It is mery.  Other wisw we  only can go out on the street and join the 400 people moving aroudn the city cienter eating watermelon and getting ready for the wiskeu and rum this eveing!    More!!

     Hare Krsna, Prabhus,
AGTSP      paoho.   Here we are in the Temple room in Guayaquil, Ecuador.  It is 4.15PM.  It is warm with river breezes just like Mayapura.   We are in a big old building surrounded withe other big old bi    buildijngs surrounded inthe big Plaza del Centennario park.  Theyere ae Iguanas ne the park.  We cannot see what we are writing u ng until 30 seconds after we write it.SO many spelling mstakes.Iti s hot in the sun.  We are right on the Equator.  Tha tis why the country is named Ecuador.  Ha!   Ha!We are one level above the stree.  Looking out a window thater are many many

 people below selling fruit, going to and from the office buildings. Loud musci in the deisntance.  It is the City center.  There are many Tourists from other Lating contires.    the park by the river is incredible.

We took 45-minutes to post our BhVai work and it was sitll rough. The internet is like a bannana with one leg and three wings here.

So we click "Send" and then walk aroudn the room don     doing Japa and looking at the screen every now and then and after tome time the message goes, [usually].Well bannanas are cheap and sweet!SO

, we answer the Letters to the Ediator. and chant some more.  In the www.Jayarama.us page if you click on the top right flower you get the supreme advice.Hare!!!Firuday we are supposed to get back o our

cave in in Nashviell.   After Lima, Miami, Charlotte, and Murfrees bor.   We are supposed to hae a writing marathon for December and then take of traveling with ours and Dtr. Samareshea's book in January.  Inspite of all of our stupidity and Myap's attacks we still seem to be really winning the battle with Kali yuga.!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri GouraNitay!!!!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!

Todas las Glorias y mis respetuosas reverencias a usted Gurudeva!!!!!

Este mes ha sido tan intenso!!!! el poder verlo nuevamente me ha llenado de entusiasmo, de deseos de profundizar más, disculpe si no soy capaz de hablarle directamente, de preguntarle personalmente, me da miedo solo llorar y no decirle nada, y a su lado me quedo sin palabras....y me siento tan torpe, incapaz de hacer algo.......aunque haya adversidad, aunque las situaciones no sean las mejores, usted Gurudeva ilumina todo con su presencia, con su pureza y sabiduría...

           ASA - HpS -   Pienso la mayoria de nuestra potencia solamente es la misericordia del Parampara.  Vd. tambien puede ser portador de la misericordia.  Aun un perro pued unirse a esta movimiento y bailar en exstasis!

aunque el programa en mi casa salio bastante retorcido, pude darme cuenta la buena impresión que usted causo en las personas, incluyendo a mi familia, todos lo encontraron genial!!!! muchas gracias por todo Gurudeva usted ha sido tan misericordioso conmigo y mis hijos!!!!

Durante estos últimos días Krishna me ha enviado una prueba tras otra, no ha sido fácil, pero gracias a su misericordia he podido superarlas y tolerarlas.....Gurudeva ya estoy sintiendo su separación!!!!!!

Mi vida no es la ideal que yo hubiera querido, una familia más o menos normal, pero de alguna forma he aprendido de todo esto, es duro pensar en que he tenido que aprender a madurar sufriendo, pero es lo que me ha tocado...solo espero ser una buena madre y guiar a mis hijos por el camino correcto, por el camino que nos lleva hacia RadhaKrishna!!!!!

16 rondas diarias/ 4 principios estrictos, servicio fijo, he terminado el curso de bhaktinas, así que ahora a profundizar mi lectura de los libros de SP y mi sadhana....una pregunta Gurudeva : aveces hay días en que todo es díficil, en que nos sentimos tan lejos de Krishna, en que este mundo nos parece terrible, como poder superar eso días en que nos sentimos como abandonados por Krishna, es extraño porque nos sentimos tan lejos de Él, pero en esos momentos sabemos más que en otras veces que Krishna es nuestro único refugio?

          HpS - ASA -   Estamos en un rio.   Zooom.... Zooom...   Zoooom!  Hay casacadias, piedras,   troncos buenos con flores y miel....   Entiendes?   A veces el rio es en bondad, aveces es en pasion....      Pero si estamos en al Rio con una cuerda conectado con la ribera y personas tirando nos al ribera eso es muy diferent ser en el rio si cuerda.  Entonces unos dias son en pasion y ignorancia y tenemos que sacar la cuerda fuertamente  and "hold our breath" mientras pasan las ollas.       Podemos tomar apoyo de cual quiere situation Krishna nos envia.  Nada sin oportunidades advanzar!!!

Se despide infinitamente agradecida  Bhaktina Andrea ( disculpe que sea tan sentimental)

Gracias Gurudeva!!!!!

Muchas gracias a Vd.     Muy bien nuestra visita a Chile.  Realmente hace bastante tiempo ahora para tomar apoyo de todo.  Estamos en Ecuador y 4 dias mas vamos a EEUU.   Muchas gracias a su Mama y todos!!
