News from Shell

13 years, 3 months ago by b.Natalia Molina

HARE KRSNA!
Gurudeva please accept my humble obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I didn't wrote about Shell before because I was staying at home some days to recover because I was sick. I spend the last week there, and everything is going nicely. Morning program, Srimad Bhagavatam class, evening program. And now they are taking breakfast togheter. I am little independent from the program because of my studies. M.Yugala is always studying the sastras, b.Maria is doing sankirtan. P.Rupa gives classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, and also SB. P.Abhirama also is doing SB class. P.Puspa Gopal is always blissful, and doing lots of service. B.Italo is with us now, and he is very enthuciastic and nice devotee.

Yesteday I went to Chosica for the celebration of Lord Nrsimha apperance!! It was so nice admosphere! Everyone was worshiping Lord Nrsimha with their voices, body, dance, music... For it was long time without going there it was a nice oportunity to share with Radha Madhana Vihari about many things. It was really a beautiful festival, really nice kirtan, a super class about Lord Nrsimhadeva pastime from Prabhu Anandamaya. Before leaving I took a time to see everybody worshiping Krsna, and it was the most attractive thing I saw. There is nothing better than Krsna Conciousness. I pray to be able to be part of this pastime also.
I wish everybody can be happy in Krsna conciousness.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva,
your aspirant servant, bhaktin Natalia

HpS!!!!!!!    Jaya Srila Prabhupada.   We don't deserve to receive letters from you what to speak of trying to be of some service as teacher etc.   Such nice effort by everyone.   Devotional service ion the material world is like serving Krsna n the middle of a forest fire.      focus on krsna and let him take care of the fire.  get very precise on what is your service.    everyone is asking....   how is gopa kumar das??/   How is your father?     our respects to everyone at schelll!!!!

AGTSP!

Dear Gurumaharaj, things have improved in recent weeks, I could organize to carry out in good shape with all the activities (work, study, service). My preaching has been improving in my work, my coworkers are very interested in Krishna consciousness, prasadam is a great tool for Preaching! These past weeks I could not attend Mangala Arati at the temple, but I'm getting up early and doing my program Mangala Arati at home, but strange to see the Deities, chant the Sri Guru-Astak with devotees, Gonvinda (Govinda is really beautiful! I always asked if I can develop pure love for Krishna, but with your instruction I can bring me!)

My parents are very interested in know you, if I comment about you. In fact, my first BG gave me my Father. They are Christians and very favorable to Krishna consciousness, they like a lot of joy with the Lord who is adored in Krishna Consciousness.

Waiting for your visit,

Bhakta Manuel

HpS -  SUch good news.   AGTSP   pamho.  Just returning from Mexico..  SO busy.  Excuse delay in answer, but don't lose hope!     Yes,  Srila Prabhupada is the best Christian I know.  The best way to approach our Lord Jesus Christ that I know!!!!!!

Enthusiasm or patient

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my most humble obeisance

Hare Krishna Maharaja. I´m Ignacio González and I´m writing from Viña del mar. I hope that you have a very good health and everything is working like you want it.

I´m writing for a specific subject, I have been feeling a little demotivated about my spiritual life but I´m steel chanting my 16 rounds per day. Also i´m trying to take back some service that I have been giving up. So my question is if I should take more commitments or should I be patient about it??

Thanks for everything

Try to serve you

Ignacio

HpS - ASA    -   AGTSP    pamho.  Enthusiasm is more important than pacience but withou patience it converts to passion.   Enthusiasm means keeping your goal clear and a practical way to get it!!!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

Jay Radhe Jay Krsna Jay Vrindavan!!!

Please Guru Maharaja, accept our obeisances at your feet. We hope your health is well, we hear of your preach and read the other letters in the blog and we feel that you talk to us. mainly we all have same problems, keep intouch and share problems helps so much, so we feel we are not the onlu ones. in India we have learn to experience that good advice comes from many councelors.... and that decision should ve taken in society, healthy for everybody. we don't have private life, specially if you live in ISKCON property... hahaha. we still don't have a fix seva, but Krsna kindly keep us busy... Im coming to the conclusion that our seva is to help other people with their seva...

On the 12th of may we had our daughter... at the house, no hospital, no pain killer, and we experience how strong death may be... the last resource we found Radha and Krsna, the only one... we chant japa asking to don't forget. Krsna is everywhere, i saw that... many ways... we saw a bumblebee in the room and thought about Madhu and Japa pratijalpa Radha...and how our stupid mind sometimes can not see Krsna there, smiling at our stupidity.

we still don't have a name for the baby :D ??? we try to get poetic and look for some name that could help baby in Krsna consciousness but we haven't got one yet. we are open to suggestions <img alt="cheeky" height="20" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/tounge_smile.gif" title="cheeky" width="20" />

after dealing with the good and bad government of India, we could (last week) convert our tourist visa (without any corruption) to an X visa, and now we can apply for a PIO card. uff that was almost like trying to pass a camel trough a needle. Our mother is here!!! that's been so helpful. Family O.K. Hari Bhakta call our house the Latin American embassy, every day so many visits and sanga...

We are fighting to  get out of the water Guru Maharaja, we are still kicking a little... slower than 10 years ago but with hope and faith.

we hope we can be good parents, good persons, good friends and daughter, sister.... good disciple one day... be sincere.

our life is at Radha's Lotus feet, we hope this twopenny ofrend can be pick up one day.

Hope you have a nice and ORGANIZED (hope Arjuna can reed this <img alt="smiley" height="20" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" title="smiley" width="20" />) visit to Chile... I would like to be there controlling and taking all the services to myself<img alt="" height="18" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/16.gif" title="" width="18" />

  Trying to be useful, Cakori Radha Devi dasi.

 HpS --  Jaya AGTSP   pamho.  Sorry so long to answer.    We talked with you since this letter.   We just came back from intense weekend in Mexico.   We are struggling like you to be good disciples.  Congratulations on bringing new devotee in to this world.  Our super respects to Hari bhakti and everyone.   I guess we see you all like Kartika time.       But as soon as we hear this not kicking so hard to get out of the water stuff, it makes us remember that this is our only business.  Babys, wives, husbands, comminity, distress, wars,        also just nonsense.       Maya's high class trick.   You can do, I can do, absolutely nothing for anybody, unless we are devotees.   Want to give you baby poisoned milk???!!!           Then don't chant 16 nice rounds every day.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!   I have 15 rounds done, but now I will stop and chant more.

Your humble, humble servant.   HpSwami   ASA

Hare Krsna, Prabhus!       AGTSP    paoho.   Here we are in Houston, Texas, after two months in Tennessee.   The Kapi Dhvaja went out yesterday with the essential news.    We are really, really, busy.   We only have so much strenght to work on the computer each day, then our eyeballs go blank!!
Thank you for your letters.    Just Chant Hare Krsna!  Rama! and Krsna and Rama will answer Radharani's petition on our part and give us practical service. 
A little bit is enough.
We can't build a bridge to Lanka by ourselves.     Yet, we can put in the correct rock in the correct place.
We are about a week behind on these Blog letters.   They are nice!   We hope to answer more.  Tommorrow we go to Mexico City with Hari-lila Prabhu, for the spectacular Rathayatra Festival!
O.K.  Oll Korrect!     Chant Hare Krsna and be happy!  Happy!     Happiest!
