ASA -  Jaya.  Gracias.  Si, estuvo un buen viaje!   Tiempo para cantar Japa!!!!  Ya mentenmos 32 rondas diarios.       Desde 1994, 25-rondas cada dia.   Estivmos probando incrementar a 32 pero no reduccion de dormir, solamente reduccion de tiempo para otro servicio.    Ya aparece es buen tiempo incrementar.  La garganta es mucho mas debil.   Predicando, hablando tenemos que minimizar.   La Japa es mas suave, y realmente es diferent experiencia cantando mas rondas.   O.K.  Ya tenemos 64-rondas. Esperamos dejar inciando en 2014 y dejar el cuerpo en 2024, volviendo a ayudar por nuestro forma original en Gokula!!!!    Esperamos!

HpS - ASA - Jaya Lalita Madhava Das !        AGTSP   pamho.  Ahhhhhhhh!  Ah! Ahhhhhh!    Ah!  Ahhhhh!     Yes, I remember his very well!!!!!     Very nice person.   O.K.   We hope more communication from him.   Good sense of timing is a symptom of Sannyasi, no? 

Service fever

Dearest Guru Maharaj,

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

Just at this minute I found out you are in Buenos Aires. Fantastic! I was really missing you yesterday because I was at a house program and I remembered last year Jiva Goswami took us to a house program while in Huston. I'm not a big fan of those; however, Yogendra prabhu insisted I go. 

I was advised by my mentor, Mangala arti dd, to tell you of my involvement with the Bhakti Lounge yoga centre here in Toronto. I have mentioned my services with this program before and it is expanding very quickly. We have recently been granted the opporunity to conduct a club at another university campus in downtown Toronto. Succcess!! It will consist of Kirtan and Japa. Mangala arti has really showed me how chanting definitely is the way of self realization in Kali yuga. Amazing. And this coming June our Bhakti Lounge center will have its third annual inspirit festival- a yoga lifestyle themed event with guest speakers HH Deavamrita Swami and Bada Hari das Prabhu. It's an intese week of service. Very enlivening. 

I got to utilize some of the daksina from my initiation in books. There is an upcoming event in April at the university and we will take part with our books, kirtan, and prasadam. There was the need for someone to sponsor a box of POYs and I immediately volunteered. I hope I did good with this. Please let me know if it was alright. 

ASA - Yes!    Yes....    Jaya Srila Prabhupada!!

On another note, Yogendra prabhu and I have decided that we would like to be engaged. He told me that in order to make something happen one must seek the blessings of the Vaishnavas. And so I come to you as humbly as I can to ask for your blessings and permission. When you asked in the previous letter if I had investigated the Grihastha ashrama I thought about it and in a way i have but indirectly. In my readings I come across this topic here and there. One of the members of the Grihastha Vision Team lives in Toronto and we have received advice from her.  But I shall investigate directly this time and let you know of my findings. 

I think I have written too much although there is still more I would like to convey. I hope I may visit you and have your association this year or you said you might visit Toronto this summer. Only Krishna knows.

Hare Krishna

your aspiring servant,

Rasa-mandali dd

HpS - Jaya, Jaya Rasa-lila, sarva mano rama . . . .    The Bhakti-lounge sounds great.    Many people are attracted to austerities (that work).   One devotee, just took Sannyasa, from Russia, and he does lots of preaching through Ekadasi-vrata. People join and fast all day all day, different levels, and chant, like Kirtan, Reading, Japa, 20-minutes each in group, for hours, even for the first time.  Of course they are Russians, and many like it.
So, nice to hear from you. Why don't you and Yogindra Ji read the story of Kardama and Devahuti together and give us a report here???   Yes, maybe wee can visit Toronto this summer.    We are neighbors.   When is the Rathayatra?

El ser humano

Respetado Maharaja y lectores: Pamho, AgtSP. Revelando mi mente y mis experiencias personales . Muchas veces queremos ser perfectos ante los ojos de Dios y de la sociedad, queremos sentirnos buenos, para ser apreciados , respetados y amados . Pero el camino es muy largo y conseguimos que nuestros propios amigos, familiares ponen obstaculos en nuestros pies para provocar nuestra caida y asi disfrutar de su supuesta alta posicion o su postura ante los demas. Pero conseguimos muchos errores, que se pueden ver en cualquier escritura sagrada como reprochables ante la gente en general y Dios , en cada uno de nosotros por que somos seres humanos con tendencias a errar, engañar, caer en ilusion...... Aun asi seguimos caminando para alcanzar la felicidad que corre detras de los principios religiosos ! Soñamos que somos puros y en ocaciones teniendo pezadillas que estamos destruyendo el mundo ! Los principios religiosos que son? La tolerancia , la humildad, la no violencia , la sencilles de corazon , la gravedad , quien puede cumplirlos, sino solo aquellos que luchan por ser nacidos por segunda vez! Pero quiere decir que ya lo somos ? Somos Brahmanas ? Estamos estudiando y muchas vecez no pasamos los examenes! Gracias a Dios durante las clases hay vacaciones donde podemos liberarnos un poco y practicar lo que estudiamos ! y si no pasamos la prueba no queda de otra que aprender de nuestros errores y volver a estudiar el capitulo y presentar el examen nuevamente! .… asi ha sido mi vida ! Recuerdo que al comienzo de mi vida espiritual soñaba con Srila Prabhupada ! Dandome instrucciones! Soñaba que sin El y su movimiento todo era fantasmal! Y era mi mal karma que aunque luchaba por estar con El siempre me quedaba atraz. La consciencia de Krsna llego a mi a traves de un hippierezagados de los 80 quien me dio un maravilloso libro que me ilumino , y libro de la ciencia de la autorrealizacion. El cual le dio sentido a mi vida a la edad de 18 años . Srila Prabhupada Ke Jay! Cuando leo la vida de los acaryas, como usted HpS, S. Virabahu M. Y otros oro porque pueda lograr en esta vida volver con krsna y eternamente tener esa buena asociacion. No soy nadie importante en este mundo , solo para mis hijos y esposo ,quisas existe algun pequeño servicio hacia Sri Sri Radha Krsna que ellos hallan disfrutado , eso espero , pero no tengo la seguridad ! Finalmente mis 23 años de servicio en Iskcon Venezuela, Iskcon Costa rica, Iskcon houston, iskcon Guadalajara, iskcon Vrindavan, Iskcon Miami, poco o mucho interrumpido y no interrumpido han sido para mi vida la mayor riqueza y felicidad , junto a mi esposo e hijos ! La asociacion con almas como usted no se valora hasta que maya te tiene bien atado y desesperado espero que los lectores de este Bloq aprecien la riqueza que por ahora tienen de Usted! Y que vean la asociacion con devotos puros no es facil de obtener ! Krsna nos bendiga , Hare Krsna! Su eterna sirvienta Maha Bhava Cintamani dd Maharaja gracias por ser quien es!

HpS - ASA -  Jaya.   Podemos entender como 87%     Es muy bueno entender poco mas de Vd.  Yo tengo muchos anartas.  Estamos descanzando mucho aqui en Mar de Plata, peo pienso no es completamente Maya.    Eso es una vida deficil, siempre viajando, como Sannyasi, como Srila Prabhupada, y siempre cambio de gente, proyectos, comida, Sadhana, clime . . .     Entonces no es sorprese si el cuerpo requiere mas tiempo purificar y refrescar, pero pienso que puedo reducir.  O.K. Adelante.    Gracias su carta.
Ha!    Ha!     Ha!  (re)     Leyendo del Nobel Laureatte, Albert Camus, "El que no revisa sus escritos al minimo seis veces es un cobardo!"     Ooof.
Para todos, quien es su estimado esposo, familia?   Poco bio-data.

HARIBOL!!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Goura Nitai ! 
Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 
Todas las Glorias a Usted!

Por favor acepte mis más humildes y sinceras reverencias a sus hermosos pies de loto.

ASA - TlgaSP     Pfanrh & bq.   Soy Buck White, Puerquecito, aqui. No tengo pies de lot. Pienso tengo trotones.  Ni tampoco HpS, ni Monocito. Pero lavamos los bien!

¿Cómo ha estado?
Quería saber si me permite escribirle al menos una vez al mes. Le recuerdo quién soy : Camila 18 años, estudiante trabajo social, CHILE. 

ASA - Esta bien. Nos gust conversar de Psicologia Social!
 

Éste mes ya empezamos el año escolar, me ha gustado mucho, así que todo va bien respecto a eso.
Las rondas intentando fuertemente de cantarlas todas, y también yendo al templo y obteniendo la apreciada asociación de los devotos. Espero poder luego comenzar a hacer algún servicio, primeramente me gustaría tener todo  "ordenado" con los estudios, así poder compatibilizar templo/universidad/familia, tendré que orarle a Krsna :) . 

ASA - Mana para la vida espiritual. Desayono y cena con la familia, dia para vida professional, tarde para recreo.

Quería también aparte, preguntarle algo, qué puede hacer un devoto dentro del contexto de las marchas estudiantiles, la participación política activa/pasiva, debemos nosotros devotos entrometernos en ésos asuntos???

ASA - Es como cual quiere cosa, viene de Krsna, entonces puede utlizar para Krsna. Arjuna estuvo yn politico!   Toma consejo de mucho amigos como actuar en esta area.

Espero que se encuentre muy bien, que los programas en Argentina vayan genial ! 

RADHEEE!!!!!! 

PD: ésta vez escribí en español, anteriormente le escribía en Inglés. Creo que continuaré con el español, está bien? :) 
 

ASA  - Esta bien. Podemos entender com 91%     Super bien oir de Vd. otra vez. Reverencias a los devotos de Chile.

DTC WE/14

Hare Krsna, Prabhus,
AgtSP     paoho & bw       Here we are in Mar de Plata.  It's on the East coast of Argentina, the Atlantic Ocean.   If you go exactly East from here you will pass south of Africa!    We have Interfaith Dialogs tonight and tommorrow nights. This is the second year and the other participants are very nice people. We really hope we can get something out of it. We are going to give them the Teachings of Lord Caitanya as gifts.

Health is O.K.  Dying a useful death.

Hear is a letter that HpS's sister sent him:

Little Boy's Explanation of God - Fabulous!!!

Out of the mouths of Babes--

"And a Little Child Shall Lead them"

(I certainly don't think an adult could explain this more beautifully!)

It was written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who lives in Chula Vista , CA . He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment, to 'explain God.' I wonder if any of us could have done as well ?

(And he had such an assignment, in California , and someone published it...I guess miracles do happen!)

EXPLANATION OF GOD: 'One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn't make grownups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way he doesn't have to take up his valuable time teaching them to talk and walk. He can just leave that to mothers and fathers.'

'God's second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things, pray at times beside bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this. Because he hears everything, there must be a terrible lot of noise in his ears, unless he has thought of a way to turn it off.'

'God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere which keeps Him pretty busy. So you shouldn't go wasting his time by going over your mom and dad's head asking for something they said you couldn't have.'

'Atheists are people who don't believe in God. I don't think there are any in Chula Vista . At least there aren't any who come to our church.'

'Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard work, like walking on water and performing miracles and trying to teach the people who didn't want to learn about God. They finally got tired of him preaching to them and they crucified him. But he was good and kind, like his father, and he told his father that they didn't know what they were doing and to forgive them and God said O.K.'

'His dad (God) appreciated everything that he had done and all his hard work on earth so he told him he didn't have to go out on the road anymore. He could stay in heaven. So he did. And now he helps his dad out by listening to prayers and seeing things which are important for God to take care of and which ones he can take care of himself without having to bother God. Like a secretary, only more important.'

'You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the time.'

'You should always go to church on Sunday because it makes God happy, and if there's anybody you want to make happy, it's God!

Don't skip church to do something you think will be more fun like going to the beach. This is wrong. And besides the sun doesn't come out at the beach until noon anyway.'

'If you don't believe in God, besides being an atheist, you will be very lonely, because your parents can't go everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can. It is good to know He's around you when you're scared, in the dark or when you can't swim and you get thrown into real deep water by big kids.'

'But...you shouldn't just always think of what God can do for you. I figure God put me here and he can take me back anytime he pleases.

And...that's why I believe in God.'

(If you believe in God, please pass this on, and may God bless you too.)

Have an awesome day, and know that someone has thought about you!
