All glories to Sri Guru & Sri Gauranga

 So, in relation to our last conversation, I want to expand on my study of Sri Upadesamrta. 

I am curious as to whether you think that I should pick up the study of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur's Anuvrti commentary? Currently I am studying Nectar of Instruction (read about 5 times within the past couple of months) and Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura's Sri Bhaktyaloka (just picked up a week ago) with the eventual goal of re-reading Nectar of Devotion right after. After I re-read NOD, I will get on Srila Dhanurdhara Swami Maharaja's Waves of Devotion (already picked up a copy ;D) 

Again, I can't thank you enough for your siksa Maharaj! 

your servant, Gaura Lila Das (RTS)

HpS -  Jaya!    Srila Prabhupada Ki Jai!    paoho.   Thank you for your association in this matter!!!!          We are still in Santiago.   this is our third letter.   The sun is going behind the high rises and the air is getting frosty!

Have you seen our tpp-noi.doc at the ASA Archives?

I am working on NOI-2 class.  It is for the Bhakti Vaibhava Diploma course we are developing.  Four years. 40-students now.

Out idea is to give an extract of the songs in Gitavali.  You can see these annoteated in our asa-noi.doc in the archives.

but not go into detail, but if the student wants to read them, contemplate them, then super.   Then it looks the same with Baktyaloka.  I think it was written before the Piyush vrtti that is in Narayna Maharaja's commentary, but Bh. Thakura.  We are translating the Anu vrtti there and I think we will goe through it in more detail.   Then the last part of the NOI-2 course is to pass through the NOI again seeing some of the sources Srila Prabhupada takes his cites from to appreciate the seamless depth of the NOI and point the way to more study.

We should know a little about all of his books, a lot about one, or two or...

We will upload the pdf of Bhaktyaloka and Anuvrtti to our Archives starting with ABC-NOI-2-...                     Jaya!   Soak ourselves in VEDA and then go in public like sinking wet dogs and make a good shake!

DEAR GURUDEVA:

PAMHO, AGTSP!, AGTHPS!,

I AM HAPPY TO KNOW YOU HAVE STRONG ENERGIES AND HEALTH.

GAURA NITAY ARE HAPPY IN BCN.

I AM WORKING, DOING THERAPIES, THAT IS WHAT I WAS TRAINED FOR.

ALSO LEARNING TO PLAY HARMONIO, KARTALAS, MRNDANGA, SOO NICE!!

I GIVE ONE CLASS A WEEK OF SB, TO USE MY BHAKTI-sastri IN THE TEMPLE.

I AM STILL UNDER PSICOLOGICAL TREATMENT, GETTING BETTER.

I WANT TO MOVE OUT THE TEMPLE NOW, AND  CHANGE ASHRAM WHEN KRSNA WANTS.

HARE KRSNA, YOUR SERVANT SANANDA DD

 HPS - Jaya!   See from other ltters we are in Santiago!    You are giving Therapy to others or taking some yourself?       Is good.    This whole world is for therapy and when we can start to take it from experts and not just indirectly from Paramatma it is even better.
I hope Krsna arranges a nice Ashrama for you for your service.  Why not?
But we have so, so, many things in the heart to eliminate so He may have all inds of therapeutic plans for us.   Why think that He will waste a moment.  Look for every moment as therapeutic help.
Connecting to th Super Energy!
We will be in Barcelona in like in 16 weeks or something, no?

 Hare Krsna Gurudeva, all the glories to Srila Prabhupada, please accepts my humble reverences.
 I write to you after a lot of time, I continue in Cusco. Lamentably I could not go to see you to Lima for reasons of work, now
 together with Govardhana and Jagat Isvara, we are trying to organize everything for your arrival to Cusco.
 Praying always for your mercy.

amala karuna das.

HpS -  Ooof!     AGTSP!!! ! ! ! ! !               pamho.              Yes,  we are wondering what happened to you!!!       Yes, it will be so nice to see you all in Cusco!     Yes, let us know the calendar.   We only come for the weekend, so lets have a strong, rich program!     Thank you for writing, more news!

despues de su partida a Lima, quede con una impresion grave, pero despues se me paso, estaba esperando la reunión pero no hubo reunión, llego repentinamente mi abuela a las 3pm, tomamos algo en el restaurante GOVINDA, esperamos hasta las 5pm, entonces decidio irse a Tacna, aliste los libros y mi abuelita se llevo una Japa, me prometio Concienciade Krishna en casa, estabamos apunto de irnos, y llega mi padre¡¡, fuimos a la comisaria, luego al hospital de enfermos mentales y por ultimo al juzgado de la Paz al día siguiente, entonces despues de tanto el problema se resuelve llevado por Mi determinación, ganamos y al dia siguiente , me compran la medicina en una casa de un naturista, detecta un conducto que no deja llegar el oxigeno al cerebro, recomendo un tratamiento por 3 semanas,y santo remedio.

Ahora estoy en Tacna, llevando el proceso de conciencia de Krishna, levantarse temprano, los 4 principios, mangalartik, nrishnha pranama, los versos del siksastakam, el NOD, 16 RONDAS, ofrecer alimentos y luego tomar prasada, leer BG o si es posible SB, DIBUJAR, estare escribiendo un super comentario de toda la historia en un cuaderno aparte.

aconsejeme si algo va a empeorar.

HpS -  Jaya!   TlgaSP!   Pfanrh.   Eso es Italo, no????  No hay nombre!  Desculpa demurra responder.  Estamos siempre con 200 cartas cada semana, Ja Ja Ja,  y muchos cartas y conferencias aqui en Chile.

Honestamente es super oir de Vd.   Yo solo puedo ayudar con poco consejo, pero pienso puedo ayudar.  Pero puede adelantar con la ayuda de Krsna y su determinacion.    Como puedo entendar sus palabras su relacion con psiciatra esta bien.  Y tiene buen situacion en casa con su abuela.

2011 July 12  -  ISKCON-Santiago (Chile)

Hare Krsna/Rama    -   Moo-chachos y Moo-chachas, we are in our room in the B'cari Ashrama in the Temple in Santiago.  It is middle Winter here, chilly, snow on the mountains around the city.
We have 11-letters to answer.  Health is O.K.    We are getting a regular schedule. When it is regular we can see our problems and attack them. We have to renounce some things, concentrate the propery things.
Of course, the Kapi-dhvaja goes in a few days.

Today we have been preparing for a posh high school program tommorrow on BG as the Limit of all Poetic Expression. It seemed like a necessary topic, but it is the first time for us to deal with it, so it has taken some work.  We looked up quotes on poetry on the internet and found some nice, even funny stuff. Then we used our Britannica subscription and read the article on Poetry.  It is pretty nice. The Contributor was Poet Laureate of the USA and we see that many of the other contibutors are on the Britannica Staff and are Indian!
O.K. On to the letters.  We try to incude our work on BG as poetry in the next KD!

AGTSP Paoho.   Time to take rest.  It is 9.36PM       Fulllll   Hardddd   Day of Sankirtan.   Dr. Messier agreed to join us for the Sept 9th Symposium in Murfreesboro!     M. Laksmimoni wrote that we are very welcome to the ISKCON meeting on education in ISKCON in Mumbai in October.

Monkey and Piggy did a power point for Lord Varaha.

See you tommorrow!
