Hare Krsna  Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP ¡¡¡ AGTU, PAMHO ¡¡¡

Gurudeva today we had a very nice festival in ISKCON CHOSICA the deities were so gorgeous in Their typical clothes I will show U tomorrow on japa joe ¡¡¡

HpS - ASA -  Jaya!      We saw the photos.   We are not normally to impressed by how Deities are dressed, but we don't remember any nicer dresses and ornaments than the traditional dress that Radha Madana-mohan were wearing for Juhlan Yatra.   Thank you for the honor to see them. Thank you for the honor to be able to visit your glorious country.

We are basically continuing with our sadhana ¡¡¡ our rounds are much better with your daily association devotees included of course and due to this culture media we are blessed watching your classes on Mayapur TV ¡¡¡¡¡ I am so happy for that 

We continue on wilson as head pujari sometimes we are in peace and sometimes Gaura Nitay keeps calling us but we do not feel any burden we feel so blessed ¡¡¡ also we are envolving more and more people in Their service ¡¡¡

We are organizing Balaram Purnima festival ¡¡ we are kind of tense for that but we have to keep on mind that Krsna controls not us¡¡¡¡ HE will help if we are sincere ¡¡¡¡

HpS - ASA - Right now it is 6.42PM here in Boise, Idaho.   We arrived yesterday by airplane across the great summer desert.   Now the arati is going on.  We see many people coming in Sarees andn children.   We went to Mangala-arati, Guru-puja, noon-arati, so we are taking time to write now and then will go to give class in a few moments. Festival is nice here.  We were realizing that Balarama-purnima is being celebrated all over the world!

Personally our mouth and throat ar MUCH better, but we are feeling some interesting vertigo.   Ha!   Ha!     Fast to remove the heat and the life-airs start to spin.  We don't know what will become of our life. Only Krsna know.             

{:0)]        If we live it is in a bubble of Japa and Kirtana.  Sounds like your life is the same.

We are also working on my doctorado thesis it is almost complete I just need to elaborate the surveys and evaluate them ¡¡

HpS - Very nice...    very, very nice.....   Your father will come to your graduation ceremony.

Hare Krsna BELOVED Gurudeva:

AGTSP ¡¡¡¡ AGTHpS ¡¡¡¡PAOHO ¡¡¡¡

I did not send the report from the meeting that we had on web ex on July 20th due to we will have another very soon so I am making just one report.

Basically all the things that we have discussed are on the minutes that I have already sent to the president¡¡ Nevertheless I can say that both were very good meetings we are now really working on the legalization things, evaluating options, and also we are taking care of our relationships  as a group moreover as a team ¡¡¡ Srila Prabhupada's team

Last meeting most of us expressed our commitment to NIMSAR to ISKCON and the majority of us agreed that our base is Peru and we are going to continue working for the eternal sankirtan of Srila Prabhupada and yourself for all eternity ¡¡¡¡¡¡ eternal means no time our work will be beyond time and space ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Vamsi govinda and B Toño promised to send You more information about the ONG thing ¡¡¡ this is our main concern ¡¡ we must be very careful about this ¡¡¡ we are also searching more options ¡¡¡¡

Thank U all so much Gurudeva for all your inspiration and support

YOur eternal servants ¡¡¡

NIMSAR 

HpS - Jaya!    AGTSP   paoho....   We are very concerned about NIMSAR and all of our "ASA Branches".    The real thing is our esoteric connection with Krsna. The Gopis formed a group for seeing to the satisfaction of Krsna, and Krsna is a very demanding person. He demands satisfaction in newer and newer ways all the time, so NIMSAR has to aim for that standard. What does Srila Prabhupada want from us TODAY, now. It's a battlefield situation with Maya as the conscious General of the opposing army. She adjusts her attacks from moment to moment depending on how Radharani adjusts Her's. 

We must all become Goswamis.  There is not any guaranteed time that we can wait and think it will happen in the future.

Death is standing just ahead of us.

We send more news in the Kapi Dhvaja today.  Thank you for the news.

Dear Maharaja,

pamho, AGtSP! Was nice to get your association again, though it seems briefer each time, fortunately quality over quanity in this case.

You are doing so much nice work and enlivening so many people. My insignificance widens seeing your service, but I guess it is for the best, since there are so few devotees in this area I easily get puffed-up. SF Ratha-yatra was great and service there was blissful for me, though I am noticing defects in my mind & bodies performance and know that in time I will have to find some other services if I am to continue. Local authorities sure have plenty of suggestions for service and I appreciate it, yet I am now starting to say, "No" to some offers, it is difficult and I know it is a priviledge to get devotional service....I feel it is time to regulate things a bit more. Main concern is not commiting offenses and keeping my pale sadhana going. Almost to the point where if I do 16 rounds and follow the 4 regs I'm done for the day. Obviously there is so much more that is needed in spreading the Sankirtan movement, am still attempting to give some books out though I am not getting any Laksmi points going, what's a fool to do?

Always in your service,
sincerely,

ccd.

HpS - ASA -  Jaya!     AGTSP      paoho.    It was so enlivening to spend Saturday with you Subhra and Laddu-rani.        Thank you.      The rounds are the essence.   Get those done well and everything else is play.     Of course, that is a stuggle, but the result is so great.

Yes, old age is a good friend for a devotee.  Pushes us to work more with the intelligence than the senses and mind.  When the intelligence is purified we ar practically speaking Krsna Conscious.  Follow two addresses for Subhra to write to about getting in touch with the Krsna avanti Schools in England or other places.  Also, they could give information about other programs!!!     Don't give up!

All glories to Sri Sri Caitanya Nitai!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada's loto feet!
All Glories to you!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva!
I hope you get a strong health soon. 
My sadhana get down, but I fighting with myself and make some serious decisions to make a real change. I chanting more than 10 rounds and following principles. With your and Srila Prabhupada's mercy I will can keep on. I eating less at night and it help me to wake up at the morning, IT WORKS hahaha.

I doing the course of Bhakta, finish the module two, and left two modules more. About that I have a question, the academy of studies offer me to be the administrative secretary,  it's nice, but they pay for that, gurudev I feel bad to recibe money from the devotees. I think it have to be a devotional service, unpaid. Is correct earn an economy benfit from devotees?

HpS - ASA ---   AGTSP.   No, its fine.   Srila Prabhupada wrote that Grhasthas who were living in the Temple apartments in Los Angeles and taking Prasadam from the Temple could keep 15% of their Sankirtana collections for their personal use.

Please guide me dear gurudev.
Yesterday Murti Murti mataji your spiritual sister, come and talk a lot of pastimes of Srila Prabhupada, oh caitanya! It was great! She inspired me a lot! She talked about Prabhupada's qualities, incredibles!
The next sunday I will finishing the course of communication course of Iskcon, I learn a lot!

Gurudev, I have a powerfull atraction with Prahlad-Nrisimha. I want to know if I can adore him with Sri Sri NitaiGauraNataraja, without install the deity, only putting the murti of Prahlad. Nrisimha in the altar, with them. Please forgive me if my ignorance, commit an offense, with that question, it's not my intention.

The next Sunday will be the reunion of spiritual brothers, the topic is, ¿what can we do to help in the preach from our place? I'll tell the result in my next letter, please bless us, to be more qualify to serve your and Srila Prabhupada's lotus feets.
Well Gurudev thanks a lot for your valious time!
 

no words can express my gratitude, thanks, thanks, THANKS!

surrender to you.
your servant

HpS - ASA ---   Jaya!     Yes. It's O.K. to have Murti of Nrsmha.   He is worshipped, served, by Laksmi Devi!   Very nice to hear from you.   As we said in the last letter, if we just maintain what we have with enthusiasm then growth will automatically take place!  10-rounds will become 11-rounds!     Bhakti is alive!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Guru y Sri Gauranga¡¡¡¡¡

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada¡¡¡¡ 

Todas las Glorias a Usted¡¡¡

Querido Gurudeva por favor hacepte mis respetuosas reverencias¡¡¡

Estamos cantando 16 rondas, 4 principios e intentando llevar un buen sadhana,  conectandonos a Japa Joe cuando es pocible  ya que estamos viviendo practicamente en el Templo y  es un poco complicado hacerlo Nama Ruci Prabhu es quien puede hacerlo con mas regularidad, como le habia comentado estoy cocinando para Sus Señorias Sri Sri Radha Madhan Gopal de Lunes a viernes las dos primeras ofrendas del dia es muy bello realizar ese servicio y poder servir a los devotos de esa manera pero al mismo tiempo la purificacion y las realizaciones tambien son muy buenas aveces se me dificulta el poder comprender el deceo de servir que tenemos cada uno y la forma de ver el servicio devocional, oro mucho a Srila Prabhupada para que pueda tener la actitud y  comprencion necesaria para intentar asistirlo a Usted.

Por favor perdone mis ofensas

Su Sirviente Saranagati Dasi 

HpS - ASA ---  Jaya!   1) Alevio de sufrimiento,     2) Entonces todo convierta auspciouso!                       Mantener la programa que tiene va a ver cosas mejorando automaticamente.   Va a ver su situcaion en el Sankirtana de Srila Prabhupada!

DEAR GURUDEVA,

PAMHO,     AGTSP!       AGTHPS!,

I HOPE YOUR HEALTH IS BETTER.

WE KEEP GOING TO SUNDAY FEAST TO SUPPORT THE PREACHING, BUT WE SKIP SOMETIMES.

I KEEP DOING MY LITTLE SERVICE IN MADRID TEMPLE ONCE A MONTH IN THE ALTAR.

MY MAIN SERVICES ARE BHADRA,THE DEITIES AND THE HOUSE, I TRY TO DO THIS IN THE BEST POSIBLE WAY WITH LOVE AND AWARENESS.

MY ROUNDS ARE TASTY BUT LATE.

OUR MAIN SANKIRTAN PROJECT IT IS TO BECOME PARENTS, HOPEFULLY OF A DEVOTEE, BUT WE NEED TO ARRANGE A FEW THINGS BEFORE.  

I FEEL THE MORE I CHANT THE MORE I AM FREE FROM THE MIND AND THE BODY, I SUFFER LESS, AND DO MY SERVICE WITH JOY AND HARMONY, I SEE MORE BEAUTY AND GIVE AND RECEIVE MORE LOVE.

I KNOW THIS IS ALL HAPPENING BY YOUR MERCY, AND I WISH TO RECIPROCATE BETTER WITH YOU, I CAN ONLY OFFER THE RESULT OF MY SERVICE AND MY HEART,

WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE?

ALLWAYS TRYING TO BECOME YOUR SERVANT.

SANANDA DEVI DASI

HpS - ASA   -   Jaya very nice to hear from you.   AGTSP      paoho.   Why not give The Jayanta Das a call from time to time and agitate his mind with your association?      Even if the jar is full of big rocks we fill it more by pouring in sand.   Having children for Krsna is fine!!!   Yet, you can still publish and distribute books, meet and enlighten people!!     Jaya!                 More news!
