Hare Krishna, accept my obeisances to Srila Prabhupada.


From Santiago again, maybe you remember me.

First of all, i wanted to ask...and give something useful perhaps. This last time i have finished some grades in Neuropsychology and Arts, i mostly write about aesthetic philosofy, and i have the collection of Srimad Bhagavatam...


I am writing to you, because i have an interested in being of use. I have been working on scientific researsh for years, writing articles for the university or for magazines...and i would like to contact your servants to send them these articles for your analysis. I want to help you in you sankirtan with Solaris magazine.


I have also interviewed great people from France, and Europe who may be part of you proyect, architect, academics, artist. Everything is written, for publication.


For example, in my tesis about of Ecology, i contacted with the philosopher Luc Delannoy and his institute Neuro-Arts, or the artist Ettienne de France from Paris, a conceptual artist,... many people; and i would like to give away this material.


Prabhu Carlos Rold has given me his information and the contact of Abhirama waiting for a response...Articles may need English translation and better design. Any recommendation...at your service.

In English there is the phase, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". So, if you don't get a response from Abhirama and the 'Solaris' team, then continue to push them. Maybe even you should take over 'Solaris' and become the editor.

Have you done any reading of Carl Jung?

10 year visa

1 year, 10 months ago by jaya krishna das in Special Category A

Hare Krishna, Devotees


A major change has been made to the 10-year multi-entry visa to India, I learned the hard way.


Today I was planning to move permanently to Vrndavan, my friend Pancagoda Prabhu the TP of Vrndavan, we were flying together. He asked me what type of visa I have, I said the same one for the past 30 years. He said go check I believe changes were made


Before I/we could stay 6 months, do a border hop and return for 6 months. No more! Now we can stay 6 months but....have to stay out of the country 6 months. No more border hops


Needless to say I didn't go.


Now my desire is to return to the states and my desire is Tennessee. I hope Krishna makes that a reality


I hope my bad news was helpful


Jaya Krishna Das


HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Paoho. Thank you! We know several devotees who are in this Vanaprastha situation. Can pay maybe $500/month for rent and only want a little studio apartment, or even part of a house, where they can stay with devotees and be apart of the community.

Houston Temple is like that.

You don't need a full house. You are just four minute walk from restaurant, temple, arati, kirtan, so many programs, other devotees houses, parks, gardens, so if any one knows of single Vanaprastha accommodations please let us know.


Our mind is becoming more unstable day by day. With intelligence we can keep it working, and even use it well, but we certainly cannot plan on making plans and organizing projects.

Will we move to Houston for the Winter and Spring??? Will we stay in Tennessee, Radha Natabara Yatra?

Where is our Sankirtan place?

Where is our purification?

Reporte de festival Pada Yatra

1 year, 10 months ago by Yulisa Yugala in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Hk pamho Jay Gurudeva!!!!!

Gracias a sus bendiciones el festival salió muy bonito, en una atmósfera de colaboración y apreciación.


Me divertí mucho, mi distribución de libros de esas semanas estuvieron muy extáticas, muy agradecida con todo, y también pido disculpas si ofendí a alguien, aun tengo vena de comunicadora, la verdad se presenta con educación y con animo de ayudar, si en algo ayuda este informe a mejorar las cosas, me daré por satisfecha.


Hay una entrevista al que facilitó este servicio y al igual que yo estuvo a full, no todos desean que se publique, estoy segura que Ud. considerará que no hay nada de malo en el video.

Muchas gracias por sus bendiciones y muestras de apreciación. eso es lo que falta en la administración.

También una anécdota fue que llevaron a otro parque parte de la ambientación, permitiendo que el Sr. se detuviera mas tiempo antes de llegar a su destino final.

HK, pamho, Jay Gurudeva!!!!!


ASA - AgtSP!!!


Thanks to their blessings, the festival turned out very nicely, in an atmosphere of collaboration and appreciation.


HpS - Super. Those who are chanting the Holy Names want to distribute them.


I had a lot of fun, my distribution of books in those weeks was very ecstatic, I am very grateful for everything, and I also apologize if I offended anyone, I still have a communicator vein, the truth is presented with education and with the desire to help, if anything help this report to improve things, I will be satisfied.


There is an interview with the person who facilitated this service and, like me, it was full, not everyone wants it to be published, I am sure that you will consider that there is nothing wrong with the video.


Thank you so much for your blessings and appreciation. that is what is missing in the administration.


Also an anecdote was that they took part of the setting to another park, allowing Mr. to stop longer before reaching his final destination.


I send you a word and video file, which is in Spanish, I include an appendix in English at the end of the most important thing.

HK, Maharaj, PAMHO. AGTSP!

All glories to Sri Sri Guru And Gauranga!!!



How r u? How's it going that festival in which you are participating? Are you going to preach there?

Here I’m doing better, I started waking up earlier in the mornings, and overall chanting my rounds better, I’m trying to pronounce the word Krishna as you taught me with the tongue touching the palate, and I have a doubt about how Rāma it’s pronounced, quite frequently I’ve heard the Hindus also pronouncing the R as if almost touched the palate, is that OK?


HpS - Hare Krsna. Not sure. We just try to apply the pronunciation guide in the back of Srila Prabhuapada's books and ask any Oxford Sanskrtists who pass through.

Chant with meaning: Mommy! Mommy!


I set a goal for myself of avoiding having dinner on Friday night in order to wake up earlier on Saturdays, generally I avoid that meal but on that day I tend to celebrate the end of the working week, so how can I manage to be more disciplined in that area?


HpS - Before you offer any Bhoga to Krsna on Friday night just think about why eating light or not will help you on Saturday morning, no? Advance by cultivating intelligence for KRSNA

:::{Hare Krsna}:::

another thing I would like to please ask you about is regarding investing lakshmi, what would be a Vaishnava alternative for stock shares investing?


HpS - Srila Prabhupada had Atreya rsi Das invest by shares in companies as income for the trust funds for the Mayapura and Vrndavana Temples.

Atreya investigated the companies properly and then bought shares, membership.

Investing in Stock Market is not gambling if it is done as good, researched business.

Land (for Grains)

Cows (for milk)

Brahmanas (teachers)

are good investment.


Sriman Das bought house in good school distrivt in California. It was good investment. Land and Brahmanas.


Also if one would like to invest in third party’s commercial projects, which industry’s areas could be better options?


I felt very identified with the Deva-Vrata’s letter your referred me, about the Jesus Christ subject, I always as well felt very very identified with him and his teachings.


HpS - So does Srila Prabhupada. His sincerity of appreciaton probably make our seem like vanity!


Currently I’m reading a book called Atomic Habits, and I’m founding it of so much benefit, learning to set to myself goals, try to stick to the habits which lead to them, and building a whole new life, one step at a time.


ASA - 👍


Also I’m organizing myself with specific plannings for the things I need to buy for improving my service and sadhana, and for other areas of my life.


I’m enjoying myself with a sense of progress.


thank you very very much Maharaj!

hope everything it’s more than well over there!

your servant,

Federico


HpS - ASA -- We heard from Cakravarty Das that SP said, "Become self realized, build your character and preach."

Do you think the whole world should read the big two volume edition of the KRSNA book! We do. Along with that Vedabase,Io version is great!! Balarama preaching to Rukmini.

Hare Krishna 🙏

Hare Krishna again Maharaja,


Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada. 🙏


In response to your question at the end of my last letter.. I am actually living in Houston at the moment, indefinitely!


I also wanted to thank you for your last letter.. you said that we all really have only one Best Friend, and that we will feel lonely until we have His association again.. So I guess it’s better to try to contact Him again, instead of trying to make temporary arrangements for friendship and love in this material world!


I have heard that you may be coming back here later this year; that is great because the last time you left we were thinking you may not come back to Houston. Looking forward. 🙏


Thank you again Maharaja,


Your servant, Abhaya Dasa


HpS - Awk! We cannot connect your name with your form!!!! A picture? Context!!! Awk!!!

Who is your friend?

😃
