Querido Gurumaharaja:

  Mis mas respetuosas reverencias. Lamento no haber escrito antes mis reportes <img alt="frown" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/confused_smile.gif" title="frown" />.  16 rondas, 4 principios. Servicio : Cocinar a las deidades en la ofrenda para la mañana los dias domingos, y programa de cultivo espiritual en Quillota, los cuales me dan mucho entusiasmo en mi vida espiritual<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/07.gif" title="" />. Estudiando Bhakti Sastri con Prabhu Patraka, se aprende mucho<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/57.gif" title="" />.  

Actualmente tengo 2 trabajos, en 2 colegios, uno en Valparaiso y otro en Quillota. Trabajo con niños, algunos con autismo, deficit auditivo y trastornos especifico del lenguaje.

En Quillota, hace un poco mas de un mes que comenzamos a realizar un programa de cultivo espiritual, debido a que en dicha ciudad no hay templo ni centro de predica<img alt="blush" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/embaressed_smile.gif" title="blush" />. En este programa participa Patricia Escuti ( la devotita que yo le presente en el programa de la Universidad Federico Santa Maria) , que es profesora de Lenguaje en el Colegio donde yo trabajo y su hija Catalina.

Por ciertas casualidades del destino (arreglos de Krishna) ella dio conmigo a traves de una pagina de facebook de Iskcon Valparaiso, y ella me vio en fotos, y me contacto en diciembre del año pasado<img alt="smiley" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" title="smiley" />. Ella se mostro muy interesada y seria al seguir el proceso, leyendo de manera entusiasta libros como Krishna Book, Volver a Nacer, Karma La Justicia Infalible, etc<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/33.gif" title="" /><img alt="laugh" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.gif" title="laugh" />. Ahora esta leyendo el Bhagavad Gita,y tiene mucho entusiasmo en su vida espiritual<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/04.gif" title="" />. Debido a que el centro de predica mas cercano se encuentra a aproximadamente una hora y cuarto en bus, es  muy dificil  para ella viajar para asistir de manera regular a los programas que se hacen en Viña del Mar<img alt="frown" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/confused_smile.gif" title="frown" />. Asi que este es el motivo por el cual se tomo la iniciativa de hacer el programa de cultivo espiritual<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" /><img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/a37.gif" title="" />. Ella tiene mucho deseo de tener su servicio fijo y tener asociacion de los devotos<img alt="smiley" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" title="smiley" />. 

Su visita a Chile ha sido una gran misericordia en estas tierras invernales-infernales de hielo<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/17.gif" title="" />. Muchas gracias por su visita, nos inspira mucho.<img alt="laugh" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.gif" title="laugh" /><img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" /><img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" /><img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" />

Mis mas sinceras reverencias y respetos,<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" /><img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/a38.gif" title="" /><img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/a36.gif" title="" />

Para servirle, su tonta sirvienta,

Vanamali Dasi<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/a37.gif" title="" />

pd: Mi padre lleva una semana sin tomar alcohol!!! gracias por sus bendiciones!!<img alt="laugh" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.gif" title="laugh" />

pd2: Se adjuntan fotos del programa de Hoy

ASA -  Wow!    TlgaSP!      pfanrh.      Vds son mas fuerte que Super Perro!    Tiene que ser muy cuidado, por que si sigues de esta manera, muy pronto Rupa-manjari va a decir a Srila Prabhupada llevar Vd. en regresa a Vrndavana para ayudar con los grandes desafios de servicio a Nandanandana alla!
No, espera nada sino una futuro auspiciouso.     Su programa va a expander.   Krsna va a enviar mas y mas personas sinceros.

Por que no tiene un Noche de Cine Espiritual a veces!     Lea el Lux de la Bhagavata!?

AGTSP PAMHO.
I am paul of the Parikrama, from Spain.

ASA - AGTSP   paoho.  For our readers let us note that we were on the Vraja-mandala Parikrama many years ago with Pablo from Spain who wrot this letter. He was a Green Beret in the Spanish military, tow truck driver. Married Vriginia and has a nice son, but he and Virginia are separated now. We hope they learn to resolve that problem and co-operate for the benefit of Varuna, their nice son!!!! Pablo (Paul) is very nice person.

I hope all do well in every way.
I have no time to write, not by chance but because I have lived and still live bad times. Everything is crossing my path and I am not responding to the task.
Now I'm trying to get out of the commitment that I was took with the the judges and many other nonsense.
I have spent almost a year without seeing Varuna and I hardly talk to me, I know he loves me but is very angry with me because I am not at her side ...
Here I am Maharaja, being silly. All I want is to walk and not looking back ... or go without looking.
I'm trying to get organized again, especially inside, but every day I have less faith in me ... I believe in Krsna Maharaja, I does not feel hatred with Krsna or the devotes, really, just that I'm not giving the size for these circumstances, I imagine that the sun will rise again for me, if I try.
Just want to tell you not to worry about me Maharaja, I know You do. Do not do it, please.
Now I know  is Imposible to see You this days, I hope will can see You in another time, and hope to have enough strength to go to see You without dying of shame in the attempt.
It's a shame that I has not written before.
At Your feet Maharaja.
Hare Krishna. 

ASA - Hey!  Wake up soldier!!!!     You got a human body and a lot of assets.  Main thing is who are your associates?   Do you have any or do you live alone in the woods?               When one reporter asked Srila Prabhupada ini Berkeley, San Francisco, in 1975, "What will happen to your movement when you die?", we heard from Srila Prabhupada's own lips, the reply that he would never die, he would live forever in his books.
So take Srila Prabhupada's association every day. Just open the book before you eat and read one page, one para graph!!
Report the results soldier!!

5.48AM R(9)!

ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA!!!!

ALL GLORIES TO SRI SRI GOURA NITAY!!!

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. 

Now i'm going to tell you about NEW YORK CITY! The grandfather of my associate invited me and him, for 20 days, was amazing i visited the first temple of prabhupada, and also the biiiiiig temple in Brooklyn! I LOVEEE RADHA GOVINDA! Their faces was oh my god the most beautiful thing! I fell in love. I was in the HARE KRISHNA TREE! jajaja <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" /> Beautiful, the ground around the tree was with so many flowers amazing, we had a little HARINAM with devotees of the temple in Brooklyn there, and also we meet the GURUKULIS ! jay! Very nice kids, one of them was a Brahmacari (13 years old) and with his first and second iniciation, very serious.

Sorry about the extense letter...and also my excuses for my bad english.

HARE KRISHNAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!  PRABHUPADA PATITA PAVANA KIII!! JAAAY!!!

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)

su eterno sirviente bhakta bernie.<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" />

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!
