Here we are in the Ashrama of Tandavika Prabhu.   Musa and his mother just got back from Nashville from their Karnatica Classical music class. That's about 1-1/2 hour drive round trip.

Now, 8.30PM we have our Shayana arati and Kirtana.

Kusa (autistic) is running around making noises like a train in excitment.  We are looking for th $10,000 Blue Ray copy of the Madana bhari DVD that Rodrigo says he sent 2-months ago.  They remember that it is somewhere.   I bought folders to put the NIOS masters of all the movies in a more secure place!!

O.K. After Kirtana we do the Kapi Dhvaja!

O i n k !     O i n k !        Whoop!     W H O O P !

Hare Krishna,

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

Bhakta Adrian: We have managed to make it out of the politics of Hawaii and are into a very good place in Utah.

HpS - ASA --- Jaya!  AgtSP!!!

We are living in a place near the temple here, not on the property.

ASA - Spanish Fork?

We are having another devotee move in with us in the near future. We are both excited to have devotional association in our home. We have been steady in our chanting, and are working on getting into a good rhythm of reading twice a day. The latter is still in the works. Unfortunately we rely on the public g ion here, and are not able to make it to Mongala Aratic in the mornings. However, we have visited, and are working our schedule to make it to the temple daily if possible. It is a very beautiful temple. It is nice to again serve the deities that I started serving in the beginning days of my devotional life (in this body). I am also very excited about working in the gardens here. That has always been my favorite service. 

We will be visiting you at the Boise temple here in the next week. Our bus arrives the morning of the 26th, and we leave the evening of the 29th. We are being hosted by one of the devotees that lives near the temple. I'm eager to receive your association and to get more instruction on my spiritual path. I'm so fallen. 

Bhaktin Revati: Hare Krishna! As Adrian has stated, we are coming up to the Boise Temple next week! I am also very excited and eager to have your association and also to be in the association of devotees. It's been a little harder here without a personal vehicle because we can't visit the temple when we want, but we have set up a nice altar in our home and it's nice to learn home worship (granted there's A LOT to learn..). I really hope we have some time to talk with you because I have a lot of questions! 

Being in Utah has been really nice so far. It was hard to leave my friends and family and mostly Sri Panca-tattva and Lord Jagannatha.. I'm so so so attached to the deities, but I have many photos of Them and my friend is going to send me a picture of them every Sunday Feast :) We were able to visit New Dwarka in LA during our layover there on the way to Salt Lake City. That was the second temple I've ever visited! I am so thankful that ISKCON is international and that we can always be sure to have devotee association wherever we go. Plus, it'll be nice to have another devotee roommate. Right now, our roommate is not a devotee, but he is Indian bodied, so he is familiar with Krishna. He doesn't know much about Krishna Consciousness, but he's had darshan of our altar and is favorable. Everything has been running so smoothly, though, as far as having our other friend come stay with us. Our current roommate is moving out on the first and Bhakta Tracy, our friend, is moving in on the 3rd. He's a member of New Navadwipa right now.

Along with chanting, reading, and regular household duties, we've both been looking for jobs. It's quite a slow process, but hopefully Krishna will allow us to land good jobs soon. I also have been trying to figure out school things, and definitely considering attending Radhadesh! The school here in Utah has already spoken with my advisor in Hawaii and has approved of my acceptance there, so if Radhadesh doesn't work out, I will still be able to finish my education here. As far as our material assets are concerned, we're okay for now. 

I am also looking forward so much to taking your association and learning about how to advance more in spiritual life. I have been realizing more and more lately that advancement in spiritual life is the ONLY important thing in this life. 

I hope that this meets you in good health and happiness! Jaya Radhe-Shyam!

Your lowliest servants,

Bhakta Adrian & Bhaktin Revati

HpS - ASA -  Jaya!    Pretty cool, but the 16-enthusiatic rounds, and 4-principles strict are the perfect boat of Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet to take you through everything.   So we see you in Boise!

It is so nice to have you association.    You life can be like a Soap Opera for the Blog.    Hare Krsna's in the land of Angel Moronaye!

Sean Todas las Gloria a Sri Sri Gaura Nitay!!!

Sean Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Sean Todas las Glorias a UD Guru Maharaja!!!

 Interesante este camino de la vida espiritual...cambia constantemente...o la que cambia soy yo?...

 Ya hace un tiempo que no le escribo, Guru Maharaja, estos ultimos dos meses fueron muy intensos, diciembre con la maraton de Srila Prabhupada, intensa experiencia, muy purificadora,   me permitó pulir un poco mas mi caracter, aprender un poco mas a cerca del mundo que me rodea, me permitio desarrollar un poco mas la humildad y me permitio comprender un poquito mas la mision de Srila Prabhupada...no soy nada...

Hps ASA -  Pienso que es algo!       No es nada, No es Dios.     Tiene cualidades, los cuales son atractivos aun a Krsna!

 Mi vida es muy sensilla, 16 rondas, no tan buenas como me gustaría...mi mente está rara... cuatro principios...lectura...muuucho trabajo....servicio en el templo....llegaron a mi muchas clases de Srila Prabhupada traducidas al español...increible su humor para la prédica...me mantiene con los pies en la tierra...por supuesto también participo de alguna novela dramatica...uffff...que mala costumbre....jajjaja..

...pero allí estan Ellos..Sus Señorias, Ellos son muy misericordiosos con migo y yo soy tan torpe con ellos...

 Le cuento Guru Maharaja que el proximo mes MahaHari prabhu nos va a tomar el examen de primera iniciación a Dani, Teresa, Diana y yo...tuvo la oportunidad de hablar con el?

HpS - No, pero aparece muy bien a mi!    Nos vemos en como 8 semanas o menos, no? !

 Gracias Guru Maharaja por derramar tanto amor por el mundo, leerlo a Ud. en el blog cada día me da calma, me hace cuestionarme cosas, y me hace sonreir, Ud es la bocanada de aire que me permite sobrevivir a mi ignorancia y a mi contaminada mente...cientos y miles de reverencias a Ud Guru Maharaja, por toda la eternidad...intentando servirlo de alguna manera, me despido.

Bhaktina Julieta.

Hare Krsna!

Hps - ASA -  La Julieta Soltera, Sin Romeo.   Ha!    Ha!    Ha(re)!      Estamos aprendiendo no realizar las mismas errores como antes?

En el foto, son Gaura Nitai del Templo, no?    No sus propios?

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, por favor reciba mis humildes  reverencias, esperando que la presente carta lo encuentre  bien de salud.

HpS - SUper.   Cual parte de CC?

Hare Krsna Gurudeva
Please accept my humble obeisance
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Since the marathon we are collecting to buy a new kitchen with oven to cook for Lord Jagannatha. We already order the fabrication,  and we are collecting some more laksmi complete the payment, the kitchen will be ready for this monday!

Gurudeva, I had the desire to make a travel this holidays, to travel with my brother to some other temple. The past year my brother make a big change becoming devotee, but even if he is very enthusiastic, sometimes he expressed he felt more alone because at the school he could not enjoy as before the activities (usually nonsenses) with his friends. Even if he understand the value of Krsna Conciousness in his life, he sometimes felt little unsecure, or like "ashamed" because he is not enjoying like the others. I undestand was he is feeling and I wanted to make a travel with him to show him, to experience together that devotees can also have fun but with Krsna in the center. So I was planing to make a travel to some place, to do sankirtan, participate in festivals during the holidays. And finally we bought tickets to go to Brasil. We are going to Sao Paulo, we will stay in the temple there...

HpS - ASA ---  Jaya!

I hope this is a good idea, some devotees I feel doesn't like too much the idea, and also I didn't metion this before, and now I already have the tickets. So it seems it may be too pationed... I apologize to not ask before, nor even mention.

HpS - As NIOS we are reading one heavy German author now.  He went through so much hell during his life, war, newspapers, crashed plays...   But it was his sister who again and again helped him.   Yeah, its good to ask first, but also its a practical thing and whether it is a good plan or a bad plan, its a pretty good plan and it may work.

My desire is to spend a good time with my brother in Krsna conciousness, because the next year I will go to Mexico and I would like he feels more secure about his new path. We are departing the 24th and coming back the 10th march.

Some days I didn't enter to the japa class were because I was really sick. And others because sometimes programs at the temple finish very late. Yesterday I arrived too late from Sattva I forgot to put my alarm because I was too tired... but my rounds are really better, in the morning. I am very gratefull. It is true that when we chant anarthas come more strongly?

HpS - Can be the case.   They are not going to go away.  The are frozen and when we are strong enough to handle them Krsna lets them out.

Or we are more concious of them? Maya will try to put more obstacles?

thank you very much, please excuse my offenses, I am very grateful for you assotiation, I don't deserve it
Your aspirant servant
