Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, por favor reciba mis humildes reverencias, le agradesco mucho el que halla respondido a mi carta, aun seguimos acá en chosica, bueno ya no estamos en los Asram, ahora estamos en la casa de mi madre que queda serca al templo, y de ahí vamos a Mangal Artik todos los dias.

Estamos despertandonos a las 3 y 30 am, cantando 16 buenas rondas, 10 rondas antes de entrar al pujari, 4 principios regulativos, lectura personal el Caitanya Caritamrita.

Acá en el templo hay muchas pruebas, muchos devotos nos han propuesto que nos hagamos cargo del restaurante Govinda de chosica, pero la realidad es que no tenemos el deseo de hacer eso.

Nuestro deseo sincero es hacer Sankirtan, distribuir los libros de Srila Prabhupada.

Entiendo que los devotos se preocupan por nuestro futuro pues somos grihastas, pero nosotros tenemos otros objetivos, y esos objetivos son espirituales, en lo personal me apena mucho que los devotos de chosica no comprendan nuestros deseos espirituales.

El objetivo es ayudar a Srila Prabhupada con el Sankirtan, la distribución de sus libros, es una misión que la haremos siempre, dificultades habran, pero nuestro deseo de hacer Sankirtan se mantiene estable.

Entender a los devotos es todo un proceso, nosotros preferimos estar en diferentes lugares por corto tiempo, de esa manera también nos mantendremos fijos en el Sankirtan.

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido, siempre le pido a Krsna que cuide de su salud, siempre estaremos en contacto, un abrazo.

Hare Krsna!!!!

HpS - ASA - "Hay que llevar a cabo estas actividades con paciencia. No se debe ser impaciente al seguir el proceso de conciencia de Kṛṣṇa. Este movimiento de conciencia de Kṛṣṇa, en efecto, fue empezado sin ninguna ayuda, y al principio no hubo una acogida, pero debido a que continuamos ejecutando nuestras actividades devocionales con paciencia, la gente empezó a comprender gradualmente la importancia de este movimiento, y ahora está participando con vehemencia. No se debe ser impaciente al desempeñar el servicio devocional, sino recibir instrucciones de labios del maestro espiritual y ejecutarlas con paciencia, y depender de la misericordia del guru y de Kṛṣṇa. La ejecucción exitosa de actividades conscientes de Kṛṣṇa requiere tanto de paciencia como de confianza. La joven recién casada espera naturalmente que su esposo le dé hijos, pero no puede esperar engendrarlos inmediatamente después de casarse. Claro que tan pronto como se casa puede intentar engendrar un hijo, pero debe entregarse al esposo, confiando que su hijo se desarrollará y nacerá a su debido tiempo. Similarmente, entrega al ejecutar servicio devocional significa sentir confianza. El devoto piensa, avaśya rakṣibe kṛṣṇa:” Sin duda Kṛṣṇa me protegerá y me ayudará a desempeñar exitosamente el servicio devocional”. A esto se le llama confianza.", NOI 3

Utah

Hare Krishna,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada!

Bhakta Adrian here from Utah.

Tom Brown here from Heaven!      Yes, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Things are moving in a positive direction.

TB:     Hmmm!   Little different here.  Indra is afraid that Bali Maharaja is about to attack!

I just got off of skype with the devotees from Boise, and other places, where we had our first Bhakti Sastri class. I am very excited about it. 

The three of us (Bhakta Tracy, Bhaktin Revati, myself) are going to be moving away from the Spanish Fork temple here in Utah to go live at the Salt Lake City temple. It is very small and very new, but very nice. We just had a Siva Ratri last night. It was a surprisingly big festival. I'm not so attracted to Lord Siva, but I did get to play nice kirtana with other devotees. I didn't know you did the jail programs with Chandra Das from Boise. He is a very nice devotee. I enjoy playing kirtana with him, and he preaches very nicely to me. 

I am excited to be going to the small temple in Salt Lake. Caru Prabhu has asked us to move there to do some preaching. We will be distributing books, Harinama, and will be hosting more college programs! I grew up here in Utah, so I am actually extremely excited to do preaching here. There aren't any other devotees that are doing any sort of preaching programs up in the city, so we will be the first ones. And as far as I know we will be the only ones. I am really fired up about it. 

TB: Read The Book of Mormon?

Our rounds are good. Our reading was starting to dwindle, but is picking up due to Bhakti Sastri. Our home worship is very nice. Jaya!

Maybe sometime I could sponsor your trip to visit the nice temple here in Utah?

Your lowly servant,

Bhakta Adrian

TB: Thanks for the offer. We like to travel. Maybe well get there next week. An itenerary like ours is an instability in the face of The Witch.  Keep chanting!    Get married!

Visit Uruguay

13 years, 3 months ago by Bta Eduardo Fernandez -Uruguay- in Calendar Development
Dear  Maharaja:
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
We are from the Bhakti Yoga Center in Montevideo, Uruguay. We had the good news You arrived to Argentina. We are happy for all the vaisnavas that can have His Holiness there, and wish to have the same bliss. We´d like to know You and can serve you.
Here we have a devotee, Laksmi Pati das (BBS) who could meet you in Spain where you told him you liked to visit our little and forgotten  country. We are willing to listen your clases.
Our Country is next to Argentina and you are 3 hours on ship from us, we´ll do any arrange that be necessary.
As it is stated in the Srimad Bhagavatam
 
"My dear Lord, You are glorified by the selected verses uttered by great personalities. Such glorification of Your lotus feet is just like saffron particles. When the transcendental vibration from the mouths of great devotees carries the aroma of the saffron dust of Your lotus feet, the forgetful living entity gradually remembers his eternal relationship with You. Devotees thus gradually come to the right conclusion about the value of life. My dear Lord, I therefore do not need any other benediction but the opportunity to hear from the mouth of Your pure devotee.
 
I remain Your servant
 
Bta Eduardo Fernández. Bhakti Yoga Center.
Montevideo-Uruguay
 
PD: Please excuse my poor english
 
HpS -  Oooof!   AgtSP       paoho.   Our calendar is already so tight in Argentina with visit to BsAs and Mar de Plata, and an invitation to Cordoba, which also looks very difficult.  Then, we have notice our death coming soon and that will reduce our ability to travel even more, so I think we will not be able to visit Uruguary during this trip to Argentina, but maybe on our next visit.
Of course, all of our travel and programs develop out of this Blog and the Kapi Dhvaja. It is so nice to meet you Mr. Eduardo!

Hare Krsna Maharaj, AGTSP , PAMHO

Sadhana dwindled little bit. will try best to retain it. we are not able to convince mind of priority of spi activities. it seems just an activity to him. we dont want to surrender to it, but can not control this fox mind.

one positive thing : on ekadasi we read for 2 hr/25 rounds/ no grains.
Report date                    27feb    8feb       
avg no of rounds            12         14                
mangal arti attended 
in 15 days                      2            2

avg time of finishing

its difficult to make plan [as it manier times cause us headache], implementation of plan is also very difficult.

All we can promise, we would try best to increase the standard, ASA, Japa Joe, PdP are keep us alive.
sorry for disappointing you..will make sure does not happen again,

Horse pranam from bhakta harsh

HpS - ASA - Jaya!  It is also nice to get your assoiation and fine insight in the Japa Jose and PdP, WebEx Meetings.

Are there not any devotees where you are physically situated. They may be Ramanuja Sampradaya. Tha is still fine?

Este Martes me toma examen para tomar refugio formal!!! He recibido muchas bendiciones de todos los devotos del templo, de la congregacion y eso me ha inspirado aun mas querido GM. LE agradezco mucho sus palabras y su guia. Mantendre mi apego fuerte solo al Maha Mantra como me lo ha indicado .
Agradezco su guia y la de los devotos mayores a quienes les ofrezco mis reverencias!!! Espero verlo pronto y espero le haya gustado el proyecto de las t-shirt que estamos llevando a cabo con Bhakta Daniel.esperamos con el laksmi que recaudemos poder contribuir a lo que se necesite para su estadia ahora y despues para lo que el templo necesite,ya sea para lo que necesiten las pujaris de Sri Sri Goura Nitai o ya sea para auspiciar, los hermanos espirituales ,alguna fiesta de Domingo para el placer de los devotos.
