Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Todas las glorias a Usted.

Hare krishna querido Srila Gurudeva, porfavor acepte mis reverencias, espero que este muy bien. Le queria contar lo que estoy haciendo, en primer lugar estoy cantando mis rondas y mis gayatris con dificultad pero los canto todos los dias, realmente es muy dificil acostumbrarse a vivir afuera del templo con un buen sadhana despues de un largo tiempo como bramahcari. Tambien me matricule en la universidad para estudiar psicologia que quiero orientarla con el futuro a la pedagogia como parte de la carrera, estoy muy feliz por esto porque siento que porfin estoy conociendo mi naturaleza, y asi voi a poder servir mejor a Prabhupada. Por otro lado aun no tengo un servicio fijo en el templo, y me cuesta mantenerme bien como devoto por lo mismo, creo que esto de estar sancionado esta dificultando mucho mi avance espiritual porque no puedo ocupar mi naturaleza en el servicio para la mision de -caitanya mahaprabhu, igual estoy orando mucho para que krishna me mande su misericordia y me guie en todo este proceso. En mi casa las cosas estan cambiando mucho, mi padre esta viendo videos de Srila Prabhupada todos los dias, un primo que le regale un "raja vidya" ahora esta muy entusiasta en ser un devoto de krishna junto con su novia y ellos estan muy ansiosos de conocerlo, y por ultimo mi madre me ayudo a construir el altar para mis deidades de Jagannatha Baladeva y Subhadra, todo se esta armonizando para vivir mas en un ambiente devocional.  Tambien una niña se contacto conmigo por e mail porque le habia distribuido un libro hace dos años y ahora esta llendo al templo, todo el tiempo que estuve en india, ya canta rondas y sigue los principios, es increible que nunca sabemos realmente cual es el potente efecto de los libros de Srila Prabhupada, por todo esto estoy muy contento. Bueno Gurumaharaja eso es lo que estoy haciendo ademas de juntarme con los devotos, pero en el fondo tengo algunas penas y sufro por la separacion del santo dham y de su amorosa asociacion, asi que es muy probable que vaya a buenos aires para estar con usted.

espero poder verlo pronto, su sirviente que lo extraña y quiere mucho, abhimanyu das <img alt="laugh" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.gif" style="font-size: 13px;" title="laugh" />

Resolver estas problemas.  Como esta su estimad Associada?????

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, por favor reciba mis humildes reverencias y un afectuoso saludo desde aqui Chosica.

Como anteriormente le comunicamos estamos en Chosica, haciendo servicio en el templo "Radha Madhan vihari", estamos como asistentes de pujari en las madrugadas, de una manera temporal hasta que salgamos de Sankirtan viajero.

En lo personal tengo una duda, hemos dejado de adorar a nuestras Deidades personales para hacer este servicio de asistentes de pujari, ¿nose si eso sea bueno?, pues siempre haciamos el magal artik con nuestras Deidades, las adorabamos.

HpS - ASA --- TlgaSP      pfanrh.   No se los detalles, pero cuando estamos con deidades installados de ISKCON el servicio a Ellos puede ser sericio a nuestros propio deidades. Claro, es bueno mantener limpio sus deidades y tomen por mente al minimo en el altar de Templo.  (O Gaura Nitai aqui son con mis Gaura Nitais).

Hasta domde tengo entendido Magal Artik se puede hacer en cualquier lugar, ¿es necesario que asistamos al templo en las madrugadas?

HpS -  Es bueno, pero, si podemos realizar en nuestra propio ashrama!

Bueno ahora madre Nadiya Nivasi esta en el Asram de madres y tiene asosiación con madres, y yo estoy en el asram de devotos.<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/38.gif" title="" />

La asosiación con los devotos es muy importante.

Ahora estaremos asi hasta despues de Gaura Purnima, de ahí iremos de Sankirtan viajero.

Me estoy despertando a las 3:15 am, de ahí 12 rondas de Japa, mangal artik, pujari, 4 principios regulativos, lectura del Caitanya Caritamrita, sigo en el primer capitulo "los maestros espirituales".

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido, que Krsna lo proteja!!!<img alt="yes" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_up.gif" title="yes" />

Hare Krsna!!

 HpS - ASA --- Jaya!   Super.  Nos vemos en 4 Marzo!

Hare Krishna

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

So nice to have your association in Boise!

Home worship in Utah is going well in my opinion. Our previous roommate has moved out, and Krishna has replaced him with a devotee from Hawaii! Funny how things work out you know? We have replaced the television in the living room with a nice home altar. I had the feeling like we put a little too much into it. I think it is pretty fancy for humble devotees like us. I'll put a couple pictures for you to see. Just check the link at the bottom.

Rebecca has been chanting a lot! I'm very happy with her. She usually chants at least her prescribed 16 rounds and goes up to about 30. She is chanting more than I am. She is really great motivation for me. So it is a nice situation for the three of us. We do nice home offerings to our deities. Our reading has slackened, but we try to go to the temple and hear classes from Caru Prabhu when we can. He is very intelligent. I am very happy to be with the same devotees and the same deities that I grew up with. Hanuman Das has taken his tellsecond initiation while I was away from Utah. He is a top-notch devotee! I am particularly glad to have his association and do service with him. 

Rebecca is in this mood of separation from Sri Sri Pancha Tatva in Hawaii. She really loves those deities. Sometimes I see her crying while she is chanting her rounds and when I ask her what is wrong, she just says how she misses Pancha Tatva. She has a very genuine mood. I haven't got to that platform yet. 

Materially, things are still tight. Job searching... paying the bills, you know. It is full of anxiety. However, we are managing to stay in really high spirits by staying fixed in our Sadhana. 

Your lowly servant, 

Bhakta Adrian

HpS - ASA ---  AGTSP    paho.  Very nice....    Why not put some books in a bag and get out on the street and see if Krsna can engage you in selling books for some nice income?

Hare Krsna, Prabhus,

AGTSP   paoho.    Here we are in Houston, Texas, Nila-madhava Dhama!
How are you?    We have a few days of letters to answer.   Nine rounds left to our 32/day.  Reading and writing for Bhakti-vaibhava. A meeting with devotees at 7PM.

We've been having some regular chest pains. Just seems to be from hard work like before.  So we adjust, but keep pesimistic attitude toward birth, old age, disease and death.

Many social problems with devotees, Peru, but seems we are steady, in the center.

Our Japa Joe, Web-Ex simposium each day at 1.30AM is great. Join.

O.K.  Japa and Answer letters.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las glorias a Sri Caitanya y Sri Nityananda!

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

HARE KRSNA

Soy Bhakta Pablo del Parikrama, de España.

Espero que se encuentre bien.

Yo, Maharaja, continuo con mis 16 rondas minimo. Espero continuarlas hasta Gaura Purnima y hasta siempre si me gano la misericordia.

Respecto a mi peticion de volver a ser Su aspirante formal, por favor Maharaja, olvidelo. Usted es sin duda la persona que llena mi corazon, pero yo soy una persona que puedo caer en sexo ilicito o intoxicacion en cualquier momento, sin duda alguna. Una mujer agradable ablanda mi corazon y un problema me hace desear " relax ". Perdone mis ofensas, por favor.

Aun sigo intentando solucionar mi dilema sobre Madrid Mandir-Tierra, no me encuentro bien pensando solo en un sitio, y lo tengo dificil para combinarlo.

Respecto a los Yajñas y el Maha-mantra, yo siempre pense que utilizamos demasiado el Maha-mantra como si fuera una herramienta Karma-kanda o algo asi, pero, creo, me he dado cuenta que es solo dar lo que es natural, no?, como en la medicina naturopata, tu cuerpo tiene todo el potencial de curar cualquier enfermedad, solo hay que re-establecerlo a su normalidad. Y el Maha-mantra es el estado mas natural que poseemos, no?.

16 rondas entusiastas?, 4 principios ( no se si alguna vez los he seguido de verdad ), programa de la mañana, lectura, el programa de la tarde se me olvida casi siempre. Me levanto a a las 4 am casi siempre.

Adoro a mis queridos Gauranga y Nityananda, son encantadores.

Perdone Maharaja por ser tan caido, creo que solo sirvo para hacer servicio como los burros, in-ong!! in-ong!! hare krsna!!

Gracias por sus escritos.

No puedo acceder a Trash2...algo temporal??

HpS - ASA --   No se por que no esta alla pero ya lo pone. Esta alla. www.jayarama.us/archives/trash-2000.txt

Su intento de sirviente, Bhakta Pablo.

Luces blancas en el horizonte,

la oscuridad se disipa,

huele a pan y mantequilla,

ghee e incienso...es la mañana!

jajaja.

Los pajaros aun son timidos,

guardan sus energias.

Kalindi, respira, y suspira,

espera a los niños, quien no los ama?,

la hierba llora, y aparece el rocio,

las vacas agradeceran esa frescura.

Las campanillas avisan, destruyen el pasado,

los Semidioses, esperan impacientes,

despues de Su magnanima adoracion.

Los niños corren, unos mas que otros,

los pequeños lloran porque los grandes

los dejan atras...y aun hay alguno que

hace burla ante tal teatro de lloros.

Los terneros, explotan en alegria

y los mayores saben, hay muuuuucho dia

por delante.

El Sol golpea con Sus primeros rayos

como queriendo dar la victoria a los

impetuosos niños valientes,

y al fondo ya estan esperando,

los jefes Piratas, los Bandidos jefes.

Y todo vuelve a comenzar.

Igual, pero diferentes.

HARE KRSNA.

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada

Dear Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances.

I hope you are well and all your planes to please Krsna and Srila Prabhupada are going perfectly.

Here I am, still alive I'm really sorry I couldn't write before and I couldn't sent my report last december, I had nothing to say to you after the meeting we had when I saw you last time in Mayapur. I have nothing to hide and perhaps can be usefull for someone else tahts os goign through the same stage, so I will write what I really been wanting to write you long ago.

It's funny actually or I can say ridiculous but sometimes we get so much and we can't appreciate what we have. Krsna gives us so much and we are so stupid that intead of doing our best and try to keep it up, we are just thinking that this is not true, this can't be perfect and it's gonna finish any moment. Of course everything is gonna have and end but what I'm meaning with this is that "I got so much" I live in a wonderfull place, have a house to live in with all the facilities, nice family, wonderfull devotee husband that appreciates and respects me, an amazing temple with stunning deities 50 metres away and everything anyone could wish for, but last year I got depress with no reason, everything was so perfect that I was just scared that this could end at any moment and instead of doing my best and living the moment, I was just without wanting to do anyhting at all. Dhruva was doing everything he could to make me feel better and instead of helping, it was getting worse, he even took me to India to see you and visit the Holy Places,.... I was happy but still something wasn't right. Until Krsna did a "BOOM" in my life. When we return from India my mother got really sick, the temple she was doing service for didn't care at all, so I took her with us and been spending almost the whole month in hospitals. On the 20th of Dec she had and emergency surgery and she needed full time care, not longer after on the 24th Xmas Eve, Dhruva fall off a wall and broke his arm and again more hospitals, surgeries and full time carer. I've been looking after them day and night. Working to get some income too. So finally realised that Krsna was giving me so much because he was preparing me for the tough times, but silly me wasn't apreciating what he was giving me at the time. So I had to suffer in both, good and bad times. I wanted to tell you that when I saw you but I was so embarrased that words didn't came out, now I'm telling you this in public, leaving my ego aside and accepting that I'm not perfect and for stobburn I had my piece. You can't imagine how good it feels. I've never felt that good after accepting my mistakes before.

Dhruva is getting better, sadly mum is going for another surgery in a couple weeks, dad is moving with us next week also will be going to surgery in few months, my little brother is working hard and helping us out.

So here I am, going to Mangala arati at least 5 days a week, rounds are getting better, dressing the deities twice a week and more if needed (I'm in charge of the Pujari roster) somehow Sri Sri Radha Govardhandari are pulling me towards them. As a work I do the sweets for the Govinda's restaurant. I'm the secretary of the TP (Ajita Prabhu) doing some papperwork at the moment, help with garlands once a week and will be studying Bussiness Administration. Busy life and actually I'm really loving it. I finish the day so tired but I'm happy. Getting my life back and really enjoying the association around. New Govardhan is a nice community and feels like a big family.

We are really looking forward to your visit, I hope you can make it this time. I'm really missing your association and my god-brothers/sister's.

Oh yeah, we are having our Vedic Wedding on April 1st, it's "April Fool's day" but more important than that, that day is "Sri Rama Navami" exactly a year after our legal wedding and 7 years since I took 1st initiation, with all my ups and downs I'm still here, willing to do better and be helpfull in your sankirtan.

Trying to be helpful

Dhanesvari Devi Dasi

HpS - ASA   --  Congratulations. Now you are a lady. AgtSP.   Paoho.

O.K.   Next. . . .     What is you mission in life? The health issues come and go, but does Krsna have a specific mission for you?    Srila Prabhupada told Jadurani dd that she should be attached to two things, Krsna and painting.  What about you???     We have it from good sources that our job in this movement is to see that devotees who come don't go away, and you??
