[10/11, 9:15 AM] Hp Swami: We leave Bharata 25 January.
Before we leave we should visit Northeast?
Govardhana Eco-village?
When? What places?
If we start 11 January then it is just three days from now. So, we should buy tickets now, no?
Dear Guru Maharaja.
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!
We hope you have settled down in your ashram in Radhakunda and all you travels were successful. We saw some pictures of your welcoming in the Delhi temple and they were fantastic.
We will be traveling to India in November and will be there till end of February. Divya is leaving on 9-Nov and I am planning to arrive closer to thanksgiving. Her health is fine. She has been engaged in lots of services, especially dressing our deities here and she is getting good at it by your mercy.
There are lots of things happening in India during our visit this time. It has been 3 years since we went back. Divya’s sister in law is expecting and her due date is around 20-Nov. This would be the first child in Divya’s side. On 1-Jan, we are celebrating a function for my father’s 70th birthday called Bhimaratha Shanthi. On 18-Jan is our visa appointment and on 27-Jan, Srirama is getting married. It is taking a few weeks for the passports to come back from the consulate. So we will return at the end of February once we get our passports back.
ASA - You are going to India in November but you are getting your Visas in February? Do you mean that you will leave India with your Indian passports and then get your USA work Visas renewed from the Indian consulate after you get there and then be able to come back to USA on a work Visa?
One mataji here has been behind me to be her “mentor/siksha guru”. I don’t know how to deal with it Guru Maharaja because she is not just asking her questions on just Shastric understanding but also on people and situations here. I have told her many times that I don’t feel comfortable nor qualified doing it but she is relentless. Because since I am running the educational initiatives here and give many classes, many ppl think of me for more than who I am. I am honest with them about my position and yet they keep looking at me at a higher position . How should I deal with the situation Gurudeva?
Tom Brown - Drink Coca Cola during the Sunday Feast. Ha! Ha! Ha! ASA - This is a problem as old as the moon. People trying to push you into artificial positions. An Uttama adhikari reacts to it effectively in a spontaneous manner. Doesn't have to work on it. A Madhyama adhikari becomes expert at avoiding the materialistic tendency of people to make artificial Gurus so they can become "intimate associates" of a GREAT guru.
Work on it. It is a problem for everyone. It is like learning to be a husband. Takes time.
We are planning to book our tickets to Vrindavan closer to your Vyasapuja and wanted to confirm the dates so that we can book the tickets and accommodation soon.
ASA - Our Vyasapuja, effort to glorify the Parampara from Krsna to you, to your disciples, is on the Appearance day of Locan Das Thakura. I think that is 24th December. We can plan various events around that time.
We don't even want to thnk about it unless Srila Prabhupada is clearly illuminated as accepted by any of our disciples as their principle Uttama adhikari guru.
Please bless us that we may gain entrance into Vraja to meet you.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva:
Please, accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I would really like to thank you for the incredible gift.
[HpS/ASA - Some beautiful hand made dolls from Chile.]
They are so beautiful and useful! I hope I will use them the best way possible! I can not do anything properly without your example, help and motivation, and also without the help of such nice devotees I have around. I would be so lost if Srila Prabhupada would not have been so altruistic!
Thank you for coming to Spain. It has been a real gift to have your association. And by your association, having been able to meet so nice spiritual brothers and sisters and incredible special people like Raul Zeballos, Hector Bejar, etc. Wow… Now, we are already missing you. Fall is knocking on the door, leaves turning y ellos, orange, brown…. and your are in India. But still we have your Twitter messages and your classes, thanks to some of your beloved disciples. Your guidance is so important…
I hope your health is good.
Thak you again for being so kind.
Your servant,
Purnamasi devi dasi
HpS - Thank you for loaning us your "post man", Jayanta Das. He was a column for the whole structure of this India and Spain recording.
A solid, happy, stimulating column.
Next life we all be in Nabadvipa with Nimai????
Hare Krishna, dear Gurudev and devotees. Pamho, AGTSP!
Today we have celebrated Ram Vijay at home, Raman reti dd and I, with a nice offering for our beloved Nitay Caitanya candra along with Laxmi-Nrsimha and everyone else in our humble altar. As we say in spanish: The house is small but the heart is big.

Then, a little rest, some house chores; noon offering; shared results with my family; ate sumptuously and rest for the afternoon. Now, 4.30 pm (Perú time) Im writing this simple report.
It´s so satisfaiyng having a nice KC day.

HpS/ASA - Thank you so much for sharing this! It is amazing when we learn that we don't have to organize big events with Big People prsent in large numbers.
All we have to have is one persona present.
