HpS - 21 November 2012

Santiago, Chile
Esteemed Professor. It is so nice to get your association. Whenever I do it makes me think of Kolkatta and our life there. I think it is a participant in the eternal pastimes of Sri Gauranga and all his associates.
We just finished forwarding all the letters, paper, bio-datas, that I sent to you to Harsh. Then by Superior arrangement he called me by Skype as I was just sending the last paper. It has been so, so, so frustrating to communicate from here. The interent freezes again and again or doesn't repsond at all. So it took one hour to forward everything but it seems that it has all come intact. He already open Dora Bazan's paper.

We discussed how to stay in touch for the editing. As I mentioned we still have Ruben Devoto's paper and Miguel Polo's. We will work on them, but the six sent are very substantial.

I also received the copy of your letter to Dr. Mabbett and I have written with this information and perspective to our disciples and ISKCON authorities in Australia asking them to fix our travel schedule now. It seems that we will be all over the country so we will be able to meet very responsible people there, and maybe even do pubishable interviews with them on useful topics. We have done this before and the results is very nice.

Our health is functional. Half the city is suffering from allergy. It is Spring here and of course this is very great problem for us. We are following a strict diet and that has reduced it to manageable level!!

Here we have three major presentations as well as many minor ones. The major ones are Hamlet and Arjuna, the LIght of the Bhagavata, and Socrates and Maharaja Parikshit. The first one was at Universidad Fedorico Santa Maria. Everyone comments that it is the premier Science and Engineering school in the country and as you would expect their Humanities program is very first class and oriented towards practical application. Such brilliant students.

They loved the introduction to Socrates and the death of Maharaja Pariksit. Now it is developing that everyone is very enthused by the idea of next year organizing a big symposium here, and Peru, and USA on the Song of Solomon in the Bible and the Rasa literature of Rupa Goswami. Hamlet, Socrates, Solomon. We have passed through Karma yoga with Arjuna and Hamlet, we have achieved liberation from Socrates and M. Pariksit, but very practically the question is, "What do we do after liberation?" This was no doubt to the Bible Saints nor to Sri Rupa. Here we come to the esoteric life of the soul in Bhava and Beatific States of Consciousness. The response has been very strong amongst students, professors and administrators.

As our chief advisor, what do you think?

Monday we have a private presentation at the National Museum with the Ambassador of Indian and others and there we will present this idea for next year with an international committee.

I guess that is the basic communication. We are winning the battle to stay alive. We are as always very, very busy with individual consulting for disciples and devotees, internet is infernal, our Museum book is progressing by your's and Harsh's mercy, plans for practical NIOS work are progressing . . .

.... we are very involved as Member of the Executive Committee for ISKCON Ministry of Education. It is as disorganized as anything but many very successful programs are developing throughout the whole world. A realistic estimate is that ISKCON now has to serve educational needs of about 25,000 children and youths, alone.

...... our calendar is that we will be in Santiago until 28th. Then two nights in Lima, Peru. Then 5-days in Ecuador, the little country to the North. Then one day in Lima again and then in Tennessee from 8th December to 8th January.

... We will try to fix an exact day to try to reach the Nil-kamal or your cellular at 9.30PM.

..... When we get back to Lima we plan to take the letter of respect for you from San Marcos University in hand and then we deal with it practically from USA. 

Thank you so much. Now have 8-letters to answer if the internet will just co-operate. Seems really is better just to be a Bobba living in a hut in the jungle at the edge of a village and work from there!

Hare Krsna Gurudev

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a su eterno sankirtana

Porfavor reciba mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

Aquí desde Chosica – Perú saludándolo y agradecida por su visita al perú. Estamos ahora haciendo sadhana en casa de la mamá de P. Gadai; mangal Artik, 16 rondas, Govinda y damodar con nuestras deidades, lectura del Caitanya cartamrta, muy hermoso y cautivador por cierto y lectura de los libros de Bhakti sastri; NOI  y el ISO. Preparando la conciencia para distribuir los libros de Srila Prabhupada en diciembre – Bolivia. El sankirtana este mes fue de 1 camino a Krsna y 1 kapiladeva que le distribuí a mi papá Hugo, él está muy feliz con la conciencia de Krsna.

Guru Maharaj tengo unas preguntas:

¿Es bueno apegarse a un servicio devocional específico?

                 HpS - En la comenza estamos por reaccion de Karma yoga.  Estamos apegados a nuestra Karma.  Podemos sacrificar lo resultados a Krsna, pero no el modo de trabajar.  Eso es el ejemplo de Arjuna.  No quiere en Reino para su misma pero tiene que actuar como un Ksatriya.  Entonces es bueno en la comenza tomar apoyo de Karma yoga, haz lo que nos gustamos hacer para Krsna pero apreciando que Krsna tiene Sus propios deseos y entonces podemos tener que dejar un servicio par otro basado en nuestra enteligencia.  "Oh, eso es lo que Krsna quiere!  Entiendo!   Aun que no es mi naturaleza voy a hacer!"

Hace unas semanas atrás mi padre tuvo un accidente y se golpeó la cabeza muy fuerte, perdió el conocimiento por un instante y recordó mi nombre civil nadia, llamándome a mi. Ahora está mejor, ¿Es bueno para una persona que recuerde al momento de la muerte cualquier aspecto que tenga que ver con Krsna, o específicamente tiene que meditar en Krsna mismo la suprema personalidad de dios?

           HpS -  NOD  -  Usualmente Krsna o sus incarnaciones o Sus devotos fuertes!

Perdone porfavor mi ignorancia, Srila Praladananda Maharaj llega hoy al Perú, deleitaremos sus clases todos los días hasta a fines de mes.

Muchas gracias querido maestro le envío una parte del poema que estoy haciendo para Srila Prabhupada no soy muy expresiva pero intento serlo en conciencia de Krsna.

"Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada es una frase perfecta,  como no honrar a ése guru que nos ha dado tanto amor en sus libros, nos ha dado la verdad con sabor a servicio devocional puro a él le debemos el sabor tan sublime que sentimos por estar en isckon".

"Sus libros mágicos que abren nuestros ojos segados de oscuridad, lujuria y envidia son nuestro pan de cada día, cada enseñanza cada detalle que habla en cada párrafo de cada libro podemos encontrar una respuesta a nuestras pobres vidas que tratamos de seguir sus divinos pies de lotos por medio de nuestros maestros espirituales. Su nombre está dotado de infinita misericordia para con las almas caídas, él es el guru genuino que siempre hemos estado buscando conscientemente o inconscientemente, y por alguna razón hemos llegado a conocerlo por medio de sus libros , con El siempre estaré endeudada vida tras vida, y quiero estar bajo el refugio de sus pies de loto y quiero amar sus libros tal como El amó y entregó su vida para que esta filosofía - religion perfecta conozca el mundo entero, quiero dar mi vida a pesar de mis limitaciones mentales y físicas para que se siga dando a conocer sus enseñanzas y sobre todo para que el mundo alguna vez entienda quien es Srila Prabhupada".

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi.

                 HpS - ASA -  Wow...   Super poema. No hablamos muy bien Espanol, pero aun estamos muy entusmados por lo que podemos entender.  Es un hecho.  Misericordia de Srila Prabhupada esta en sus cartas..   Ya vamos a una program fuerte de Luz de la Bhagavata aqui en Santiago.  19.00 horas, poestas, artistas!!!              Todo la dia luchando con Yahoo para tratar de communicar una cosas!!!!!!!!!

Querido Gurudev: Pamho.TgSP y sus seguidores fieles

Espero que se encuentre medio bien de salud cuando reciba este mensaje. Por aquí seguimos como siempre tratando de satisfacer a SP con la predica y luchando, ( a veces) desde nuestro estado neofito por controlar los sentidos.

Ayer estuvimos en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid haciendo un programa con Yadu Swami. He conseguido un contacto para hacer un programa con usted en Mayo. Es en el departamento de Antropología. Les he dicho que ellos pueden sugerir lo que quieren. Tambien usted puede sugerir algo.

Estoy en contacto con ellos para perfilar el programa.

Tambien estoy participando en un programa de Bhakti-Vriksa ceerca de donde vivo, en un pueblo a 7 kilometros (Alpedrete). Hay unas devotas rusas que estan empezando y me han pedido apoyo. Así que dos fines de semana al mes iremos Purnamasi, Nimai y yo. Ellas tambien tienen niños que vienen al Gurukula de Domingo al Templo. Así que el ambiente es muy bueno.

Sin mas, un saludo

su sirviente

Jayanta

            HpS  Jaya... Tlgasp!      pfanrh.   Super!!!!   Paso por paso adelantamod eternamente!!!!

           Si puede obtener   vuelo de BRU at MAD como 3PM ,   1 Mayo,   eso es bueno, llegamos a las 8AM entonces hay 5 horas de transito para guardar contra demurras.

            MAD  a NVM por coche 8 Mayo.

           NVM a Barcelona por AVE 20 Mayo, lunes

           Barcelona a BRU 27 Mayo, lunes.

Puede ver podemos pasar poco mas en NVM, Espana, por que esta demurado la reunion en Radha desa.

               Pienso la programa de Bhakti vrksa puede cambiar a un centro muy fuerte en Madrid.  Hay muchos quiere assistir a una programa pero tiene miedo del ambiente de Espiritu Santo.

                   Con Anthropologia podemos hablar de Varna Ashrama Dharma, no???  Esta bien?  Hay super fotos y todo en Light of the Bhagavata!

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

            HpS - ASA - AGTSP...

     All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

How are you Gurudev, Here we are under your lotus feet, trying to deeply understand your instructions...

                     HpS - We are in hell just like you unless we surrender to Krsna.  We want to do so many things "for Krsna", then we get into the mode of passion, attached to results and become rough with our body and mind and devotees who interfer with our path.   Grrrr!          Just chant Hare Krsna and adjust what you can do nicely for Krsna with the tools He gives us!

Last week we had the asosiation of SS Gunagrahi Swami it was very entusiastic!!! 

Things are going very good in Mar del Plata!!!! Taking care of Goura nitay deities (named: sara siromani)

          ASA - The Essence of Crest Jewels

Chanting Hare Krishna and studing NOI and BGita!!    I took a vow this kartik month,taking just raw prassadamand chanting 20 ronds a day. It´s amasing how I´m feeling, I much more contemplative, controling much more

my Kata and all my other senses, and I can see how my senses and mind were a complete chaos...

I realized how important is to make austerities.

I wish I could mantain this for ever...this crasy mind makes everthing so I forget my position..

please give my your blessings 

In the month of Dicember Mahajan Prabhu is traveling to Chile and He want me to take care of his deaties (Radika- Giridhari) for

all the month, you think is alright??

                 ASA -  Yes, seems fine to me.  You have contact with Adi-yajna Das in BsAs?  You are becoming a Goswami, like NOI 1?   Got letter from Ignacio with similar news of Mar.   Seems like you have nice situation, just have to all push little more to speed up your journey!!

please give me your protections!!!blessings !!!!! Bhakti!!!

HARI BOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOUR ETERNAR SERVANT

PANCA TATTVA DAS

My birthday is on 11 of abril next year 36 yers old!!!!! closer to leave this body...

                       HpS - ASA - You are on the right path, now you have to just speed up...
 

Please accept my humble obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

      Guru-maharaja, sorry I have been unable write, life has gotten very busy.  By your mercy and the mercy of Sri Sri Radha-Giridhari I am serving on the altar four days a week.  Dayanidhi prabhu and his wife Vrindavan mataji have been very kindly allowing me to stay with them when I have service and have been very patient in teaching me how to properly behave and serve on the altar.

     Since I have recieved the gayatri mantra, I have been chanting it daily at the apropriate times and keeping up on my japa.  I have had the great mercy of having Dayanidhi prabhu show me how to bath and decorate the Govardhana and Saligram Sila in the temple and Dharmasetu prabhu has been allowing me to assist him in preperation for fire yajnas.

     I wanted to take a few minutes to check in before we begin preperations for the celebration Giridhari's pastimes here in San Diego.  I hope to write something more substantial when I go on break next week.

Your servant,

Nityananda-rama dasa

               HpS - Jaya!   AGTSP      paoho.    Very nice to hear from you and news from San Diego, Giridhari Yatra.  Govardhana Puja must be your second biggest festival of the year.  How is the Sankirtana there?   What your your plans for speading Krsna consciousness?????    Our respects to Dyanidhi Das!!
