Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada 🙏 🌹

Hare Krishna, querido Gurumaharaja 🙏

Por favor acepte mis sinceras reverencias 🙏🧡

Gurumaharaja le tengo que contar algo importante...me casé con mi asociado pareja Govinda ("el chico de la foto") que hace unos años llegó desde Europa al Perú para hablar con mi papá y pedir permiso para casarnos y actualmente vivimos juntos en la preciosa finca Nueva Vrajamandala España....SIIIIIIIIIII 🥳 por la misericordia de Radharani todos los trámites fueron favorables y pudimos casarnos acá en España. Mi papá dió sus bendiciones mi mamá lo aceptó como un hijo y los padres de Govinda nos dieron bendiciones también 🙏🙏 recuerdo que usted me dijo que sigamos ese procedimiento: que tengamos a Krishna como centro de la relación y todo será auspicioso🙏💖

Así que para celebrar el matrimonio compramos la película que grabó usted en Perú y la vimos con otros devotos. La película es muy poética e instructiva. me emocionó mucho verlo a usted en el programa de la mañana por meeting, fue como ver "el detrás de cámaras" me pregunto y los títeres de sombras que hicimos con Nitya?

Que Srimati Radharani derrame sus bendiciones para usted y que el Señor Nrsimha lo cuide por siempre para que usted pueda estar bien y encontrar a Sita 💗

Su hija espiritual que lo espera con mucha emoción

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaja 🙏

Please accept my sincere obeisances 🙏🧡

Gurumaharaja I have to tell you something important...I married my partner Govinda ("the boy in the photo") who a few years ago came from Europe to Peru to talk to my dad and ask for permission to get married and we currently live together in the beautiful Nueva Vrajamandala Spain estate....YESIIIIIIIII 🥳 by the mercy of Radharani all the procedures were favorable and we were able to get married here in Spain.

HpS/ASA - Well, you did not invite Tom Brown and Buck White to the wedding!! 🤔

My dad gave him blessings, my mom accepted him as a son and Govinda's parents gave us blessings too 🙏🙏

I remember you told me that we should follow that procedure: that we have Krishna as the center of the relationship and everything will be auspicious 🙏💖

So to celebrate the marriage we bought the film that you recorded in Peru and we watched it with other devotees. The film is very poetic and instructive. I was very excited to see you on the morning meeting program, it was like seeing "behind the scenes". I wonder and the shadow puppets we made with Nitya?

HpS - The shadow puppets? Ooof! There was no one to organize shows for them!!. 😳

Many things we could not use, but.... doesn't mean they won't be used in the future.

May Srimati Radharani shower his [her] blessings on you and may Lord Nrsimha take care of you forever so that you can be well and find Sita 💗

His spiritual daughter who is waiting for him with great emotion

We gave a lot of classes based on the books, a lot of personal consultations and finished all four DTC(UT) movies etc.

Thank you.

We are inspired by example of you and other book distributors, eg. Vijaya Das to distribute books also.

Thank you!

MAke any book disributors?

'are krsna, mates!

brown and white here 🐵 🐷

Brother Ass 🏇 has moderate chest pains.

the sun 😎 is at 5.07PM Houston time. Just set. Room is getting dark.

We have done all the mail. Yahoo, Whatsapp, Blog up to 3-days old.

Posted our Notebook notes to our Calendar, DTC (CB) etc.

16-rounds done.

Was offered fruit platter, maha-prasad platter, peas porridge in the pot, and scavenged Raghunatha Das Goswami remnants... and ate a little too much.

Really need to chant KK HH more while we are collecting, eating, honoring Prasdam.

Can we make it to the Temple at 7PM?

Can we join Radha Natabara Sanga?

What projects are pending:

1. NIOS Board of Directors, administration, is up to date. Thinking we should change to just on-call status January 12th.
2. Peru administration with H. G. Daru-krsna Das, Nadiya/Milan/National Council seems to be going reasonably well. Waiting for some responses and comments.
3. Houston Calendar O.K. Going to die, death is on the way. 😃

There are so many options for service!

"On the platform of love and affection, it is the duty of the devotee to do one thing first and other things later. The proper intuition by which to do this is given by Kṛṣṇa."

Maha mantra is to guide us out of Maya, but also to guide us in finding our position amongst all the alternatives in the spiritual world, no?

Hare Krsna!

Sannyasi is supposed to travel and report new places to the GBC for opening centers.

That also includes traveling in Newspapers, Media, Internet?

Hare Krishna Gurudeva 🙏

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Thank you so much for your reply to my last letter. I have a doubt related to the following point:

I feel attracted to Lord Nrisimha. When I visited Simhachalam, I felt inspired by the brahmacharis (boys and girls) who worship Him so reverentially. Could I worship Prahalada-Nrisimha too?

HpS - Seems fine with me! Talk with some mature ladies and girls your age and situation.

I've talked to 3 matajis 2nd initiated and revealed my mind about acquiring Prahlada-Nrisimha (PN) deities. Each of them gave me interesting suggestions. The 1st mataji told me: 'Go to Loy Bazaar and look at different PN deities. They would gradually manifest'. I was seeking a Nrisimhadeva with a reverential presence and a protective mood, and Prahlada expressing total surrender before the Lord. Also, I wanted to make sure that They were not too heavy. Most of them were made of bronze, so They were very heavy despite their small size.

The 2nd mataji I approached told me she had PN at the shop where she works. So, I decided to visit the shop. When I reached, the mataji told me the owner hadn't brought the deities yet, so we had to wait. She started chatting and I revealed my mind to her regarding a problem I was going through: 'One devotee proposed marriage to me, but I don't want to'. So, she guided me on how I should reject him politely. As soon as she finished speaking, the devotee unexpectedly called me. We talked and I managed to solve the issue. A few minutes later, the owner called and said we could go to his workshop to see the deities. We saw the deities in Their carving process. They were made of marble, so They were very light. Even the price was affordable. He said: 'They would be ready in 2 days'.

The next day, I told the mataji that I felt attracted towards these PN deities, but Lord Nrisimha is in the mood of Ugra. He is a small replica of Mayapur deity. The mataji told me that since He is with Prahlada, there is no problem. She was especially surprised in which circumstances They manifested. I also spoke to my mother about this point and she agreed that I should acquire these PN deities. She believes that they would be an inspiration for being more disciplined in my sadhana and principles. So, I decided to acquire Them.

Before installing Them, I went to buy some implements for Their puja. When I was about to buy the first implement, I met the 3rd mataji who would give me her advice. She told me she had also an Ugra Nrisimha deity and she realized that serving Him requires certain qualifications. She also told me that since I desire to get married one day, perhaps it would not be favorable to worship Him in this mood.

After all those events, I concluded that the best thing is to consult you directly. Could I worship these Prahlada-Nrisimha?

I apologize if at any time in this letter I have expressed anything inappropriately.

Trying to be your disciple,

Rukmini dd

HpS - AgtSP! Paoho. Hmmmm. I don't really know. My reaction would be that you can get the PN Deity of marble, but with the understanding that you want to serve Him and understand Him, but maybe after taking His association for some time you may realize that it is your responsibility to pass Him on to your son or some other, and that He will be training your for deeper service.

O.K.?

Hare Krsna.

Hare Krsna.

Expect bigger deals yet to come.

Hare krsna Dear Gurudeva!

Please accept my obeisances to your lotus feet🙏🏻🌹🌸

All glories To Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to Gurudeva!

Here I share my offering to baby Damodara! :

https://youtu.be/EVMZid0QRlw?si=vjpxmgzTcMrTqSog

HpS/ASA - 🐵 🐵 🐒 Very interesting! More! Big audience awaits singing and dancing from the spiritual platform.

I showed it to my deity of Ladhu gopal, to see if he liked it... apparently he didn't dislike it..😀😊 Please pray that Krsna accepts my offerings.

HpS/ASA - I guess if He didn't like it He would have run from the room and then you would have had to pursue Him with a cord.

trying to please him:

J.P. Radha dd.

HpS - Thank you.

Hoping Krsna sends you more and more and more Sankirtan partners under Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet.

Hare Krishna, gurudev, PAMHO AGTSP.

Dear gurudev thank you very much for your kind blessing. SORRY for being late in responding. By your grace I was able to visit many places in India and as the result all of my family and other relatives started chanting at least 4 rounds of japa and are vegetarian.

HpS/ASA - 👍

👍 👍

Month of Kartika was very special and was regularly offering dipa at home along with my family.

We were also having at least 3 programs at people's houses during weekends where everyone got a chance to light lamps.

May I know Gurudev where you are at this point?

Your insignificant servant
