Please accept my humble obeisances
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
I hope you are in good health.
HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Paoho. Thank you for your highlight of this post in Whatsapp!.
Thank you so much for allowing me to have your association and for all your teachings.
The return to Peru was so long and exhausting that the first 2 weeks I was sick in bed. Thanks to my mother and Rupanuga Prabhu's diets, I'm now fully recovered.
HpS - Yes! Mayavadi Brahmacari, Bhrtrahari Das says, Happiness is never having to leave home. Srila Prabhupada says it is especially hard for ladies!
My purpose of returning to Peru was to fulfill a commitment. Since I got a scholarship for my undergraduate degree, I have to work for 1 year in a state school. However, the political situation is more and more unstable. The Ministry of Education is a mess. So, I talked to the office that awarded me the scholarship and they allowed me to postpone this commitment until next year.
All this time, I've felt a deep longing to return to Vrindavana. Nothing is the same as before. I got used to taking Krishna Balarama's darshan every day, attending morning and evening programs, spending hours and hours in the kirtan. Also, one of the things I value most is that, by Srimati Radharani's mercy, I met such wonderful devotees to whom I reveal my mind. For the first time, I understood what association and Krishna Katha truly mean.
HpS - 👍
Guru Maharaja, I'd like to return to Vrindavana if you allow me. I have a strong desire to take Bhakti Sastri course at the VIHE, which starts at the end of June until November. I know there'll be many austerities (such as the weather). I'll face whatever comes, I know that's part of learning too.
Although I could stay in Peru and look for a job until June, there is an opportunity to travel to Madrid and do service in the school and community of Nueva Vrajamandala. Thanks to the guidance and support of Abhirama Thakura Prabhu, we were able to make contact with Yadunandana Swami and ask permission to stay. He accepted. We're now in touch with Maha Lakshmi Mataji to coordinate the dates of my stay and other details.
Finally, I remember that you suggested that I continue studying music. I contacted Bhadra Rupa Prabhu, whom I've served on several occasions, and he gave me some options. One of them is to study devotional music with Pandit Gopal Candra (86 years old and a great devotee of Lord Jagannatha) and his daughter Sangita. The Pandit has been awarded by the National Academy of Arts in Delhi and the President of India. He doesn't accept students so easily. Bhadra Rupa Prabhu asked him through his daughter if I could study with them and he accepted.
This is all the news so far, Gurudeva. I'll appreciate your comments. Thanks for reading this letter.
Your insignificant servant,
Rukmini Devi Dasi
HpS - Thank you for all your austerities and honesty!
We are your servants.
See you soon!
Every night, agtSP, in NVM, but Sunday visit ISKCON Madrid, Espíritu santo.
Hare Krishna, I am Jaya Krishna Das (Joe Gennaro)
I want to introduce myself. I look forward to all discussions
HpS/ASA - AGTSP!!! Esteemed, Jaya Krsna Das. Very much welcome to our ASA Blog and our ASA Traveling Sankirtan Party.
We just posted a Diary of a Traveling Creature topic, https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/13836/, explaining how the snow and ice and flying thrice has let our Blog mail fall few days behind. If we were more sincere we could also do a little bit better, no?
JKD is our old friend from Miami, and devotees also know him from is visits to Peru. He was consistent contributor to Miami temple and has now retired from his potent industrial property maintenance business to the Caribbean.
We took shelter of his Ashrama in Fort Lauderdale many times and always were very refreshed from our travels and preaching in South America.
He has a first class view of Krsna consciousness and sends us the most bizare and deligthful cartoon clips from time to time.
Of course, if anyone does not get a response to your Blog posts within three days and they are urgent, then feel free tells us to look at them by Whatsapp.
Thank you!
Hare Krsna.
The Sun is at 1.14AM.
Rounds = 0.
Looking at the mail a little before we start chanting on beads.
How are you all?
Our Camp and Corpse are fine, as best as can be expected in the material world.
Because of the intense travel and weather we have not been able to answer letters in the Blog very timely.
Now we will start a Sunday Blog-mail Marathon (SBM).
Lettuce go to the first letter.
Dearest Gurudev, AGTSSGN – AGTSP.
I hope your health is good, and your sankirtan pleases Radha and Krishna and Srila Prabhupada.
I wanted to tell you that I'm going to visit you in Madrid in February (from the 14th to the 22nd), I'm in communication with Majaraha Yadunandana, He is very kind. I'm waiting for the recommendation letter from the local administration to send to Him.
Regarding your question to Maha Anandini Mataji about Bhakti sastri, Yes I am, with Priyasakhi DD as my teacher. I have some pending tests to perform from the BG, but I've done well in general.
I keep cooking for Your Honors, thinking of doing a Bhakti Vriksa group for this year, twice a month. For Kartika month, we distributed small books among the new judo kids with Kamalaksi Subhadra (disciple of Jayapataka Swami Maharaja).
In this link, You can see the video that a friend called Felipe Cárcamo made from the Ratha Yatra festival. I think it is good material that will help us get sponsors and places for other festivals, I remembered to Prabhupada and Jayananda a lot. So here my contribution, I hope the texts are good for You.

More Japa, more news.
