First of all thanks you for give me an answer, im really happy. I'm going to tell you a little about myself...I'm 18 years old, and im going to the temple since last year, now im studying Sociology, but i want to change to Political Science. I'm chanting my 16 rounds, following the 4 principles, and i have read many books, but there is maaaaany books that i didnt read, now im reading Upadesamrita, and Sri Isopanisad, the last book i read was The teachings of lord Caitanya( in spanish is : Vida y Enseñanza de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu). Im trying to get up early, and since two months i am in a formal service, that was "Guirnaldas", but now for the Grace of one of your disciple (Kriyasakti devi dasi) i'm in the Deities   kitchen, and Pujari Assistant <img alt="laugh" height="20" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.gif" title="laugh" width="20" /> its so nice, im receiving so much darshan, is awesome.

Your Servant,  CAMILA! <img alt="" height="18" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/38.gif" title="" width="18" /><img alt="" height="18" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/36.gif" title="" width="18" /> hariboool!

ASA -  Jaya.  AGTSP   paoho.  Very nice Diary of a Traveling Student.  You service is super.     You are not yet a Formal Aspirant, no?     As long as we are chanting Hare Krsna, we are making progress.   Of course, if we don't follow the 4-principles then it can take 400 life times to come to the point of chanting so well that we automatically follow the four principles.
So, be a strict upright lady.  Be an example for the whole world and then by chanting 16-rounds a day and worshipping Tulasi/Gaura Nitai you will develop fine mystical powers.

But what will you do with them?

5.30AM  - R (7)

ASA -  5.00AM/Lunes (1 Agosto)    -    Lima.      TlgaSP      Senor Bernie, era una pregunta, no una declaracion!      Primero, tiene que satisfacer los pre-requistos.

1) Esta cantando 16-buen rondas para un ano minimo?

2) Esta siguiendo los cuantro principios regulativas estrcitamente para un ano minimo?

3) Necesitamos una carta de recomendacion de sus authoridades administrativas en ISKCON.

4) Voy a enviar una carta con unos mas detalles a su propio correro.
Somos tratando ser humilde servientes de Vd. y Srila Prabhupada y ISKCON. Esta siguiendo muy bien todo la Yoga para un ano, como yo entiendo, entonces es super si esta listo tomar votos volver a Krsna!

5.05AM   R(5)

Dear Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

Another monthly letter. My saddhana is steady- 16 rounds, 4 regulative preinciples, morning program (I did miss a few mangal artis last weekend- our Ratha Yatra was intense), and sankirtan. My mentor, Mangal arti, gave me a challenge to go out every day for half an hour to give out at least one book. Krishna has shown results and I rejoice everytime someone just touches a book or better yet, says no! Such a humble and purifying service.

ASA - AGTSP!    paoho.     Such as nice standard!    So nice!!!!

We also had our Toronto Ratha Yatra festival last weekend. So many devotees attended. On the Friday before the festival, a 12 hour kirtan took place.

ASA- !

Personalities such as HH Gunagrahi swami, HH Niranjana swami, HH Candramauli swami, and HG Madhava prabhu were present. Ahhh, Madhava prabhu led such an amazing kirtan at the end. Festivals are such fun. During the parade, I stayed with Lady Subhadra and pulled Her cart. She is so sweet and merciful. 

ASA - Is great chance for book distribution also, no!

Maharaj, I also took your advise about asking the ones around me about my school situation. I have been told to concentrate on my Sankirtan service as well as my service in the Bhakti Lounge preaching centre. I will be staying in Toronto for another six months. I also have a desire to go to India next year after our December book marathon, which I am looking forward to!!! It would be my first time visiting India and hopefully Krsna allows me to go as well as with your permission.

I also started reading Srimad Bhagavatam and KRSNA book, the latter of which I can't put down. I never imagined it could be so addictive! Anyways, I pray to see you and serve you again. Please forgive my offences and possible spelling mistakes.

Your aspiring servant, 

Bhaktin Rashmin

ASA - We pray to be of some service to you. How can we improve the Kapi Dhvaja?      We are so engaged in these BhSastri and BhVaibhava programs.
Your trip to India, everything, seems to be fine. In many ways, the socio-economic situation, for ladies depends on their relation to their husband, father, brothers.  If they have good family situation like this then these things are easy. So focusing on Sankirtana can certainly be the perfect solution and then see what kind of Daivi varna ashrama arrangement Krsna makes.

Now it is 3.39AM.   Only 3-rounds done.   Bath, Hanuman-puja, Mangala-arati, Kirtana and back to Japa and Blogging!!!

A G T S P !
paoho

CEMUL = CEntro MULicultural (Rupanuga and Divyavani)
YEsterday was up early, Japa, WebEx class with Candra mukhi, Nama-acharya..., packing, packing, packing, trip to Lima, meeting with Mother Divya-vani and Rupanuga, crash!    Boop!       Now we have one round done! R(1). We will chant some more and amswer some letters, Mangala-arati, Kirtana (alone in the house). See you at the next letter.

REALITY
We live in a bubble of time and space,
     Dominated by the feet of His Divine Grace
The Holy Names generate all your plans
     Chant with attention, as much as you can!

HARE!       KRSNA!       RAMA!

Dear Hanumatpresaka Maharaj,

AGTSP, Pamho,

In regard to your inquiry on my whereabouts. Please allow me to give a short summary.

About a year ago, when i wanted to leave Belgium because of my attachments to personal income and family life, it coincided with the short deathbed and passing of my father. When that was over, my cousin invited me to her house, in the town where i live now, for allowing me to start up things again. Right now, i still live in this town, in a quiet part of the country. No devotee association, but some nice yoga people nevertheless. I managed to get a job in my line of study, which turned out mostly detrimental. I started visiting the Amsterdam temple again, which is a 3hrs + trainride, but because i really miss and need the association, i am now in the preliminary process of moving into the vicinity of Amsterdam and the people through which i first came in contact with KC.

In conclusion, my life goes quite irregular here, so by this move i wish i can continue again to balance out my life towards a steady sadhana and sankirtan, and a job supportive to my needs, after this initial trial and error period.

Jayatam suratau pangor
mama manda mater gati
mat sarvasva padam bojou
Radha Madana Mohanou

I sincerely hope to meet again later on. All the best with your vehicle and mission in spreading Srila Prabhupada's mercy,

Richard van Dijck

HpS - ASA  -   AGTSP   very intersting.   Everybody is diferent, so everybody is interesting to Krsna Himself: Just see Radha, how Richard is dealing with this situation.  It is very interesting.  Let's watch!

Dear Hanumatpresaka Swami

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

No, I don't think that I am Adrian from the Angels, haha. I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Anyway, I've tried to send an email to the address you gave me, and I instantly recieved a return email saying that it doesn't exist. So I'm still working on getting everything sorted out to visit Seattle. Once I have a formal meeting with my temple president about this trip, I think I can ask him who I could contact. I'm sure he would know. 

I'll let you know for sure as my situation developes.

Thank you for your association!!

Your servant,

Bhakta Adrian
HpS - ASA -   AGTSP  pamho.   Wow!   Pandava is back, but I am also having hard time contacting him.    He must be under the mystical power of Bill Gates.   Adrian of Los Angeles, no?
