Dearest Gurudev AGTSSGN, AGTSP, PAMHO!!

I hope You had a nice Vyasa Puja!!

As in my previous letter, I continue to cook for the deities, twice a month. This time I was able to be there for your Vyasa Puja and at the invitation of my older brothers I gave the Srimad Bhagavatam class (changed the kitchen for the Vyasa-asana).

We had a very nice program, the decoration, garlands and all the arrangements looked very good, realize the celebration for the morning made everything going well.

I’m very grateful to Krishna, for how everything turned out. I think we all feel very comfortable and connected with you and Srila Prabhupada. I'm thinking of going to see you in Madrid, I still don't have the letter of recommendation (I’m waiting for the evaluation of the test), but I would like to visit you there anyway, what do you think?

Well, I have one more news, Krishna enlightened me to do something that I hope you like, the Ratha Yatra festival was held a while ago, I couldn't attend, but I looked for a way to help, I leave you a link so you can see how the festival was there, 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.

Felipe Cárcamo is who made the video. He’s a good friend.

All glories to Sri Guru and Gouranga

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

We would like to thank all the disciples, wellwishers, and devotees for their generous donations towards H.H. Hanumatpresaka Swami's Vyasa Puja festival in Vrindavan. With their support, the festival glorified Srila Prabhupada and the entire Parampara in a successful manner.

The program started with the glorification of the entire parampara until Gurudeva by Radhika Ramana Prabhu and Srinath Krishna Prabhu, followed by krishna hoite catur-mukha bhajan by Asvarya Radhika Mataji. Then the Auspicious address of Gurumaharaja on Vyasa Puja Occasion, then glorification of Gurumahaja starting by Panca Gauda Prabhu the temple president of ISKCON Vrindavan, followed by other senior devotees that have worked and preached with you in different areas and parts of the world.

Then we all went for the cultural program in the Temple courtyard for Odissi Dance and Manipuri Pung Chalom and Rasa Dance presentations witnessed by at least 1,000 people. And closing with feast prasadham in Balaram Hall.

Nama om Visnu padaya

Krisna prestaya bhutale

Srimate Hanumatpresaka swami

Iti namine

Dios!!! "No pense jamas en esta vida encontrar una persona asi"

Es que acaso la pureza puede ser tan genuina?

La humildad y compasion existen en este mundo?

Fueron mis pensamientos cuando lo vi por primera vez, esas hermosas cualidades que ud. desbordaba en todo su ser, que me toco el corazon y lo unico que desee fue seguirlo...

Andaba convencida de que en este mundo ya no tenia nada que hacer, y solo podia pensar en el suicidio, pero, esas falsa concepcion quedo aniquilada cuando ud. se adueño de mi corazon y lo acepte como mi Amado Maestro Espiritual.

Como el Autentico medio trasparente del Paramparam ud. nos conecta con el Amor de Srila Prabhupada, exponiendo dia a dia todo el conocimiento y sabiduria de las enseñanzas que el nos dejo atravez de sus libros y ejemplo de vida.

En separacion de ud. trato de entender porque me resulta insoportable no verlo? porque tengo que calmar mi llanto tratando de dejar de ser egoista y sentimental? Sera porque estar en su presencia, estar cerca de ud. significa estar rodeada de sus maravillosas cualidades, de su proteccion, de la alegria y sencillez, de la buena fortuna, de la dicha y felicidad que solo puede provenir del mundo espiritual y que percibi cuando lo conoci...

Solo puedo implorar a sus divinos pies de Loto, poder algun dia complacerlo en mi servicio de manera humilde e insignificante, por la infinita Gratitud que le tengo, Infinita Gratitud querido Gurudev por ayudar a que el Amor de Srila Prabhupada siga expandiendose por todo el mundo, Infinitas gracias! por dar la oportunidad a que la humanidad pueda percibir la vibracion de Srila Prabhupada! Vibracion de Amor proveniente del mundo Espiritual!!!

Hanumatpresaka ki, jay!!!

su inutil y torpe sirvienta

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

On this very wonderful appearance day I reflect on you and your ever expanding qualities. Your honesty and realness is always so refreshing to us. Your humor and playfulness keeps us excited and allows us to swallow some bitter pills so easily. You make it all so palatable. 

Without my connection to you and my relationship with you, I would surely be very lost. Sixteen rounds everyday and strictly following the four principles is not easy but with your enthusiasm infecting us and with you connecting us to Prabhupada and the Parampara it seems possible. It’s such a long and windy road full of so many obstacles and pit falls but for the first time in my life I can feel that I am going in the right direction at least. Just by following you to the small degree that I am. 

We had a very nice ceremony for you at the temple today with so many illuminations of your character. Powerful and instructive stories about you were spoken, the kirtan was spirited and the prasadam was spiritually potent. Split pea soup, yellow rice, banana muffins, orange zest pudding with a small amount of black pepper;) and fried potatoes. 

The reoccurring theme of our discussions was your comment to my last blog entry: “ISKCON lives or dies on the service in the Boise temple” and the memories of how supportive you have been to us here was very emotional. 

The black witch (Maya/ depression) is always trying to tell me that this temple will fail and that we don’t have enough devotees to help. So many unhopeful speculations creep in but only by your mercy I can fight them off. With the sword of knowledge and sadana! And your powerful association through the internet air waves~

So much more to say but I will leave it at that. Thank you Maharaja for lifting us up and giving us hope for a real human life full of wonder and discovery. This Krsna consciousness movement is moving because of great souls like you. I am eternally indebted to you. 

Your aspiring servant, 

Nitisara das

*Quiero aprovechar de hacer unas preguntas. Srinam Radha dd, una devota Hindú, me pregunta si mi nombre espiritual se acentúa en la vocal "A" sAkhi o en la vocal "i" sakhI.

Espero que este reporte sea agradable para Usted.

"Nací en las más oscura ignorancia, y mi maestro espiritual me abrió los ojos con la antorcha del conocimiento. A él le ofrezco mis respetuosas reverencias".

Desde el primer contacto que tuve con usted, se dio ésta situación, en donde alguien con plena ignorancia fue iluminada con Sus palabras y con Su presencia.

El Guru no solo nos enseña a través de la palabra, sino también a través de Su ejemplo, y esto es lo que destaco en Su persona.

Usted año tras año me ha enseñado con Su ejemplo, con Su disciplina al momento de seguir el perfecto proceso que nos entregó Srila Prabhupada.

Destaco también Su determinación y Su gran corazón... Su amor por Srila Prabhupada y Su esfuerzo sin paralelo por ser un digno discípulo y sirviente de Él.

Gracias por todos estos años de guía, y de refugio.

Srila Prabhupada debe estar muy complacido con Su servicio y entrega, digno de ser un habitante de la morada trascendental.

¡Todas las glorias a Usted!
