Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja


Please accept my humble Obeisance's and kindly forgive my offenses.


All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you.


I'm Krishna from Richmond. 


I'm following 4 regulative principles and doing 16 rounds Japa everyday.


Just We have seen "Chapter two of Traveling creature" and it's really Awesome. Thank you Guru maharaja for wonderful discussions and showing us festivities in different cities. Very nice and surprising to see our Richmond ISKCON Temple celebrations..😍


As per your advice, we started reading "Light of Bhagavata" book. Please guide and suggest me which book to start next to progress in devotional services.


Always serving your lotus feet.


Thank you Gurumaharaja. Haribol!


HpS - AgtSP! paoho. So nice to see you in the morning service. So nice. Was hoping to communicate with you and here is this letter. Sorry that it has taken TWO WEEKS to answer!

We have got our feet on the ground here at our Base Camp near Nashville and really slowing down the number of BIG and small programs live and on-line.


Hope to do mail more regularly.


If you go to http://www.jayarama.us/archives/ , our ASA Archives, and scroll down to the files starting with "lob..." you can find some interesting things related to LOB. Get a study partner and read the book together. Maybe organize a LOB, Cultivation of the Human Spirit, symposium in Richmond. There is a "production manual" in those Archive files.


Next is NoI.


You have been following Srila Prabhupada's standard for initiation for one year, no? Ready for Hari-nama diksa?

Hare Krishna.


We are ok. Our sadhana (16R, 4.30AM, 4P) is ok. Worshipping our deities before leaving for work. Then reading SB everyday.


ASA - AgtSP. When do you go to work? How do you go? Bicycle? Is it dangerous going in public in Lima?


Ptrk ==I go to work from Monday to Friday. I take 2 buses to go to work. It is almost 1 1/2 hours on the way. It gives me time to read. I'n thinking to buy an electric motorcycle. Going by bus is different depending on where you are going.


This week I have my appointment at the hospital... It's almost 12 years with a transplant...

let's see how is this body working.


Thanks a lot for all your support.

Hare Krsna, Gurudev.

Please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you.


I hope you are well.


The reason for my letter is to make you aware of our relationship situation with Campakalata devi dasi.


When we told you that we were starting a relationship, you said: together as brother and sister?


With Campakalata we have known each other for 7 and a half years, and we have a relationship of great affection, compatibility, affection, friendship, etc.


A little less than a year ago we are living together as a couple and we plan to get married.


We know our relationship is atypical. I am 42 years old and Campakalata is 56 and also she is much more experienced in Krsna consciousness.


Is this decision of ours to your liking?


HpS - AgtSP! Paoho. Almost anything is to our liking if people are chanting 16-enthusiastic rounds/day and following the four principles strictly.


We have heard that Srila Prabhupada said that if the wife is older than the husband then marriage will never work out. She will not be able to be submissive to a younger husband. In 90% of the cases we have unfortunately seen that it is true.

Of course, living a life as Vanaprastha is something different.

Living as Brother and Sister is different. Then having an older sister is not bad.

I cannot say much more.

We don't and really cannot know the details of the situation, but we have seen that both of you are very nice devotees, so we think again that if you make 16/4 the center of any situation it will sort it self out in a very satisfactory way.

Best wishes!!


Thank you gurudev

Hare Krsna Gurudev

Por favor acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a usted.


Espero que usted se encuentre bien.


El motivo de mi carta es para ponerlo al tanto de nuestra situación sentimental con Campakalata devi dasi.

Cuando le contamos que estábamos empezando una relación usted dijo: ¿juntos como hermano y hermana?


Con Campakalata nos conocemos hace 7 años y medio, y tenemos una relación de mucho afecto, compatibilidad, cariño, amistad, etc.

Hace poco menos de un año estamos conviviendo como pareja y tenemos pensado casarnos.

Sabemos que nuestra relación es atípica. Yo tengo 42 años y Campakalata tiene 56 y además ella tiene mucha más experiencia en la conciencia de Krsna.


Esta decisión nuestra es de su agrado?


Gracias Gurudev

Su aspirante a discípulo y bienqueriente, Deva-Vrata das

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva AGTSP PAMHO


You once told me that in a fire we have to rescue the photos before tthe money


JAYA Gurudeva 🌝


HpS - Many people in the fire storm in San Francisco reported making this decision.

Atreya Rsi Das had a house with four others on a hill right in the path of the wall of fire. I asked him if he grabbed his deities or his money.

He said, "Neither one. I grabbed my ass (trasero) and ran!"


Algunas preguntas

Todas las glorias a Sri Sri Guru y Gauranga

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada


Hare krishna Guru Maharaj, aqui mi reporte con nuevas noticias y algunas preguntas que tengo desde Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.

En primer lugar me alegra que nuevamente ud. esté conectado en la mañana por "go to meeting".. me alegró bastante participar de este programa tan bonito en asociación con los devotos.


Mi sadhana es el siguiente; 2.45 am, 16 rondas ( estoy mejorando mi canto dia a dia) 4 principios, lectura del bagavatam todos los dias, 3 gayatris, puyari en el templo de Rio de Janeiro a sus Señorias Jaganath Balaram y Subadra y Gaura Nitay en cocina, bañar a las deidades, cambiar, aprendí a hacer turbantes con madre karuna mayi, acostar.

Tambien algunos dias hago guirnaldas y estoy aprendiendo a cuidar de tulasis con M. Karuna mayi y Yasoda, tulasis estan muy hermosas, esta semana le aumentamos tierra y baño de hojas con agua de clavo de olor para auyentar a las arañas y otros insectos.


En mis ratos libres me voy a nadar a la playa, el mar es tibio , aveces voy temprano cuando no tengo servicio y camino por la arena cantando rondas con matayis, algunos dias me pongo a correr por la arena... tambien un poco de hatha yoga.

Estamos extrañando la asociacion de m. Karuna mayi y p. Anandamaya, esperamos que vuelvan pronto, cuando llegué aqui encajé muy bien con los devotos, me gusta el templo y la asociación que hay aquí, pero el idioma no me gusta 🤭😬, pero estoy apendiendo de apoco para poder tener buena comunicación en servicio con los devotos de Rio de janeiro.

Es increible pero estoy viviendo en asram de madres ya casi 1 año...(6 meses en iskcon san borja y 3 meses en templo de Rio) no sé como puedo aguantar tanto porque en verdad no me considero brahmacarini, pero a la vez me gusta la vida de templo y hacer austeridades, los ayunos en mi cuerpo ya no sufren como antes 🤣, ahora disfruto de los ayunos.

Pero he pensado que no quiero ser brahmacarini, nunca estuvo en mi mente esto, y necesito hacer vida de grjastra quiero que sea natural esto para pasar a la siguiente etapa... pero tambien le pido a las deidades que hagan lo mejor para mi, pero necesito establecer esto en mi vida para mantener un equilibrio en mi vida espiritual.

Por otro lado con Gadai Gauranga Das mantenemos buena comunicación como amigos, no guardo ningun rencor ni resentimiento a El, siempre esta en mis oraciones y sé que es un gran devoto, pero solo puedo verlo como un amigo o hermano espiritual y conversamos lo necesario sobre la casa y el terreno que tenemos.

Siempre hay pruebas y problemas en la convivencia con los devotos especificamente con una madre de 47 años, esto me llenó de mucha ansiedad.....no existe perfeccion en este mundo... ni menos felicidad plena y entiendo que son pruebas para purificarnos, pulir y mejorar nuestro carácter y comportamiento entre los devotos, creo que ningun devoto es malo conosco desde los 8 años de edad iskcon... y apesar que he visto cosas muy graves siempre he pensado que los.devotos no son tan malos que siempre será mejor estar en iskcon que afuera. 🙂

Creo que solo este año estaré viviendo en un templo, porque necesito rehacer mi vida y formar un hogar, no le voy a mentir gurudeva pero conocí algunos devotos del sexo opuesto del extranjero, pero no he decidido nada todavia, le rezo todos los.dias a las deidades para que cuiden mi corazon y mi futuro sea para mejorar mi vida espiritual y avanzar mucho mas en el sendero espiritual con mucha asociación de ďevotos, quiero que todos mis deseos sean canalizados para mi avance espiritual.


Bueno me despido gurudeva, estamos tomando muy en serio lo que ud. Dijo" solo.un demonio puede intentar terminar sus rondas rapido". Estamos tratando de que nuestra yapa mejore y podamos amasar y amasar las cuentas una a una con mucha atencion y amor.


Gracias por permitirme seguir este sendero maravilloso del bhakti, seguimos quemando karma, purificandonos y llenando de amor nuestro corazón para que algún día tengamos la verdadera felicidad 😇

Hare krishna 🙏🏼

All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Hare krishna Guru Maharaj, here is my report with new news and some questions that I have from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil.


First of all, I'm glad you're back. be connected in the morning by "go to meeting".. I was very happy to participate in this beautiful program in association with the devotees.


My sadhana is as follows; 2.45 am, 16 rounds (I am improving my singing day by day) 4 principles, reading the bagavatam every day, 3 gayatris, puyari in the temple of Rio de Janeiro to their Lordships Jaganath Balaram and Subadra and Gaura Nitay in the kitchen, bathing the deities, change, I learned to make turbans with mother karuna mayi, lay down.


Also some days I make garlands and I am learning to take care of tulasis with M. Karuna mayi and Yasoda, tulasis are very beautiful, this week we add soil and bath leaves with clove water to scare away spiders and other insects.


In my spare time I go swimming at the beach, the sea is warm, sometimes I go early when I don't have service and I walk along the sand singing rondas with matayis, some days I start running through the sand... also a bit of hatha yoga.


We are missing the association of m. Karuna mayi and p. Anandamaya, we hope they come back soon, when I got here I fit in very well with the devotees, I like the temple and the association here, but I don't like the language 🤭😬, but I'm learning little to be able to have good communication in service with the devotees of Rio de Janeiro.


It's incredible but I've been living in the mother's asram for almost 1 year now...(6 months in iskcon san borja and 3 months in the Rio temple) I don't know how I can endure so much because I really don't consider myself a brahmacarini, but at the same time I I like temple life and do austerities, the fasts in my body no longer suffer like before 🤣, now I enjoy the fasts.


But I have thought that I do not want to be a brahmacarini, this was never in my mind, and I need to lead the life of a grjastra I want this to be natural to move on to the next stage... but I also ask the deities to do the best for me, but I need to establish this in my life to maintain a balance in my spiritual life.


On the other hand, we maintain good communication with Gadai Gauranga Das as friends, I do not hold any grudges or resentment towards him, he is always in my prayers and I know he is a great devotee, but I can only see him as a friend or spiritual brother and we talk as necessary about the house and land we have.


There are always tests and problems in living with the devotees, specifically with a 47-year-old mother, this filled me with great anxiety.....there is no perfection in this world...nor less than full happiness and I understand that they are tests to purify ourselves , polish and improve our character and behavior among the devotees, I think that no devotee is bad I have known since I was 8 years old iskcon... and even though I have seen very serious things I have always thought that the devotees are not so bad that they always it will be better to be at iskcon than outside. 🙂


ASA/Tom Brown - In Iskcon is 50% mad. Outside is 85% mad?


I think that only this year I will be living in a temple, because I need to rebuild my life and make a home, I am not going to lie to you gurudeva but I met some devotees of the opposite sex from abroad, but I have not decided anything yet, I pray to him every day. to the deities to take care of my heart and my future is to improve my spiritual life and advance much more in the spiritual path with a lot of association of ďevotos, I want all my desires to be channeled for my spiritual advancement.


Well I say goodbye gurudeva, we are taking very seriously what you. He said "only a demon can try to finish his rounds fast". We are trying to improve our yapa and we can knead and knead the accounts one by one with a lot of attention and love.


Thank you for allowing me to follow this wonderful path of bhakti, we continue to burn karma, purify ourselves and fill our hearts with love so that one day we will have true happiness 😇

I will do krishna 🙏🏼

HpS - Very nice report. I can think of other devotees with female bodies for whom this is a perfect perspective on their own life.

Thank you.
