Please accept my obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I know we have an everlasting relationship, but I think it's hard for many of us to think about the moment when you will leave your body. That is why I always wish to follow your instructions and serve you in this way, despite the physical distance.
As for a previous letter, about my "inspiration in the heart", I think that I am not pure enough to trust it. I prefer to continue strengthening my intelligence.
My sadhana remains regular: 16x4 - Reading - Arcana - Online sastra study with Vaisnavas - Some days of sankirtan (but little) - Prasadam (although sometimes I also eat bhoga). And well, I also don't have too regulated schedules with waking up in the morning.
The truth is that Krishna has credited me with several different qualities in this incarnation. Most of my life this has been a problem, as he didn't understand how to channel those abilities, and I didn't know what I should do in this incarnation.
Already in several letters he told you about my conclusions about my nature.
Today I understand that I will always be doing different things, but I think it is necessary to give direction to all these activities.
I think that direction is the ARTS.
After spirituality, what moves me the most in this material world is artistic expression and creativity.
My experience in the arts comes from childhood, but I never took it seriously, it has always been as a recreational activity, a hobby. I think it is time to dedicate myself to it and make this my livelihood and my contribution to preaching.
When the temple authorities can solve my situation and I can apologize to mother Guru Govinda and the rest of the congregation, my wish is to start my career as an artist.
After working and gaining experience in the cultural industry, I would like to create a cultural and creative development project that at the same time functions as a preaching system to present Krishna consciousness through the arts.
The idea is that in the future many other artists will be encouraged to participate and can help the expansion of Krishna consciousness through artistic expressions.
If I get your blessings, that will surely come true.
My obeisances Gurudeva

HpS - ASA --- Your attitrude seems good now. We hope to hear comments from other members of this Blog. If I am assaulted in body, words or mind by someone, then I should think what apology with body, words, mind is really just so that I can really forgives them, and have practical relation with them again.
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your beautiful lotus feet adored Gurumaharaja.
ASA - En este verso, Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī le aconseja al devoto ser lo suficiente inteligente como para distinguir entre el kaniṣṭha-adhikārī, el madhyama-adhikārī, y el uttama-adhikārī. El devoto también debe conocer su propia posición, y no debe tratar de imitar al devoto que está situado en un plano superior. https://vedabase.io/es/library/noi/5/#bb5954
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to You, my dear Gurudeva!
I hope you are in good health and happy in your wonderful Govinda consciousness.
I am always trying my best to achieve the beautiful consciousness of love for our Krishna❤ thank you Gurudev for guiding me to Him and his friends!!
I send you a comment about song 1 cap.4 verse 22
I felt very lucky to read this meaning and was surprised that even though I had read it several times, I don't remember understanding it. I really liked the attitude of the bull, which was the personality of the religion.
I did not know that identifying the author of the acts is as sinful as the one that he does sinful acts. I think understanding this helps a lot to not get angry or hold resentments with anyone. It helps us understand that in case of gain or loss both are Krishna's grace.
ASA - In English, Christian culture, it says, "Hate the sin not the sinner".
I also thought that this meaning could be a bit strong if someone has gone through very difficult situations... they will always get angry with the author... how could we help in those cases?
ASA - It is for Uttama adhikari. For Madhyama adhikari: "Se espera que el devoto que no es un neófito ni un mahā-bhāgavata (un devoto altamente avanzado), sino que ésta en la posición intermedia del servicio devocional, ame a la Suprema Personalidad de Dios, haga amistad con los devotos, favorezca a los ignorantes y rechace a los envidiosos y a los demoníacos.", https://vedabase.io/es/library/noi/4/#bb5913 " Avoid the demoniac en the character of devotees and develop friendship in terms of their purification.
I also think that it is so important to ask krsna for protection in both cases be it gain or loss.
It is said that krsna gives us protection through intelligence... and since we all have different types of intelligence... some women should trust our intuition?... it is said that intuition and modesty are protection in women.
ASA - Castida y recatada! Comenzando en etapa de Dvija, podemos comenzar confiar en nuestra intuition, pero con confirmacion de Guru, Sadhu, Sastra.
And finally, now it is very fashionable, the constellations, healing of cakras, etc. Those things really help to connect with ourselves and our intuition?
ASA - https://vedabase.io/es/library/noi/3/#bb5876 maya tatam... Jaya.
I always believe that chanting the well-sung maha mantra will help us more than all this, but I ask if these things really help because I see many people doing these things.
ASA - As much as you can chant Maha-mantra, do that. It will dictate using other Mantras or systems of purification.
...
I feel very excited and inspired by his films Gurudev!
How can I help spread the word about him? We just bought the first one and we are going to see it!
I would like to be able to collaborate with you
...
Once they told me that my dance videos were very hippies🙂 .. I thought that the video Radha and the bee has many defects .. I put the dedication to you at the end (I had edited everything and I realized at the end .. and yes something was moving, the whole edition was going to move...)..and it's very long...we beg your feet to be able to know the defects of this video to better edit the next ones.
Many people comment that the festival that was held in the limestone "city where we live, was very beautiful, despite the fact that there were not many people (I sent photos to you) We hope to do another one... maybe in the nearby city where there are the slaughterhouse of cows. Sometimes I go to that city and see how the cows are taken in trucks... it is painful to know that they take them to kill them.
ASA - Yes, but they were killing cows and now they have become cows, no? Still try to help them!!!
I am sending you photos of the last festival we participated giving a dance workshop and presenting some choreographies.
It was in Villa Belgrano, a city about 4 hours from our home.
Please forgive any offense in this letter.
Thank you for your time respected Gurudeva.
Please accept obeisances from franco and gopal.

ASA - AgtSP!!! Paoho.... Super. We will look at it and come to class prepared.
Hare Krsna Maharaj! And welcome back to Tennessee area, Hari Bol!
Please accept my humble obeisances 🙏
All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga,
All glories to Srila Prabhupad 🙏
It was nice to have your association at Nrsimhadev Caturdasi program Saturday 🙏 Pravine Prabhu was real happy to meet you.
HpS = We felt bad that there was not so much time to associate more with devotees, especially you.
I'm doing some book distribution and meeting people who are interested in murfreesboro area, also in Nashville some young people have started chanting. They visited Murari Sevaka with me a number of times.
ASA - Maybe we can visit Murari with you also.
Yes, Maharaj, so the last letter I mentioned at Murari Sevaka there is Mitravinda Mataji and her three daughters who stay at Murari Sevaka.
Jvarajit Prabhu is a Prabhupad disciple who visits and helps them with cooking for the deities each week also.
Mitravinda Mataji was asking if you would like to visit Nitai Gauracandra's temple sometime, Murari Sevaka. I could take you with Pravine Prabhu also on a weekend if you would like. If you wanted to give a class or just visit possibly, maybe our murfreesboro devotees could join too?
HpS - As we said, it seems like a possibility, but right now we are just getting this ashrama in The Boro going. It is doing pretty well.
What dates would be good for others?
These are just a few thoughts, just trying to serve Krsna's devotees. Hare Krsna Maharaj 🙏😊
Dear Remembered Gurudev, please accept my obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I had written this poem to him in January... but due to lack of communication during his travels, I preferred to send it to him later. and now I send it to you.
Please forgive any offense or rasabhasa in this poem-song that just surfaced that day. (should I have someone read my poems before I send them to you?...
thank you so much!
To my dear spiritual master: His Holiness Hanumat presaka Swami
🎶There are so many tests...
so many steps
still to pass ..
And another test comes...
With higher leggings!!!
I can fall! but i'm not afraid we will keep smiling And jumping too...
Because I have you!
So beautiful Guide!
that clarifies me
As well as the Sun!
And I have you!
In my daily life
since the morning
Always rising!!
And it is that I have you
Like my beloved Guru
you give us shelter
At your beautiful feet!
...How lucky I am !
Although I was born in Kali Yuga
I was able to find you!!!
Hoisting the flag!
From Kapi Dvaja
I could see it!
came to save us
From this horrible mud
That we had to fall...
But I have you!
Because distances don't matter
It is with the heart that one loves (vani)
And not with the skin (vaphu)
...How lucky I am !
I could see it once
And again!
and His presence
He never left again...!
You are my Gurudev!
It always goes forward!
With constant spirit!
Spread what you are!!!
And brings us back to life!
...In this darkness...
You give us the light to get there...!!!

Happy Vyasa Puja today and always Gurudev!!! Vyasa Puja to her beautiful person at all times and every hour!
His eternal aspiring disciple who always wants to please his beautiful heart of honey:
Japa Prati Jalpa Radha Devi Dasi.
HpS - Thank you. You must make so many people happy.
Will Krsna convert your world to an extension of Nabadvipa. Will you take birth with your friends and associates in Nabadvipa in you next life time.
Goodness goes out like and echo.
If we say something from our heart it goes all over the world in 8-seconds. We heard Srila Prabhupada say that on one recording.
Why no photos of family art???
🎶Hay tantas pruebas...
Tantos escalones
aun por pasar..
Y viene otra prueba...
Con mallas mas altas!!!
Me puedo caer!
Pero no tengo miedo
Seguiremos sonriendo
Y saltando también..
Porque lo tengo a Usted!
Tan hermosa Guía!
Que me clarifica
Así como el Sol!
Y es que lo tengo a Usted!
En mi Dia a Dia
Desde la mañanita
Siempre elevándome!!
Y es que lo tengo a Usted
Como mi amado Gurú
Usted nos da refugio
A sus hermosos pies!
...Que afortunada soy !
Aunque nací en kali Yuga
Pude encontrarlo a Usted!!!
Izando la bandera!
Del kapi Dvaja
Lo pude ver!
Vino a salvarnos
De este horrible fango
Que nos tocó caer...
Pero lo tengo a Usted!
Porque no importan distancias
Es con el corazon que se ama (vani)
Y no con la piel ( vaphu)
...Que afortunada soy !
Pude verlo una vez
Una y otra vez!
Y Su presencia
Nunca mas se fue...!
Usted es mi Gurudev!
Siempre va adelante!
Con espíritu constante!
Contagia lo que Usted es!!!
Y nos devuelve la vida!
...En esta oscuridad...
Usted nos da la luz para poder llegar...!!!🎶🎵
