Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

Tentative date to receive Vrndavana printed TPP is 10th.

Meanwhile we are trying to line up pre bookings. Here are some ideas on how to distribute the book once it’s out. Please let us know your esteemed thoughts 🙏.

1. We may host a 3 day seminar teaching from this book Dec 22,23,24 (VP being last day). Devotees will have opportunity to get TPP personally autographed

ASA - Thank you all! You can see in the VP calendar suggest in parallel post that there will be some promo at VPuja.

I was thinking we might get out for Parikaramas the days before VP.

Then we could present the book on those.

2. We may circulate a page in audience to get names for autograph.

ASA - Hmmm. Just requires pen and paper to implement.

3. We are trying to put the book for selling on Amazon.in

4. After discussion with some devotees who seek spiritual books, we suggest to place cost of book: 300₹, special occasion discount: 200₹.

ASA - We had similar thoughts.

5. We might ask vrindavan temple book shops and VIHE and online book stores, BBT to place their pre-booking orders with us.

ASA - Yes.

6. We may ask for book reviews written/recorded by HG Bhurijan Maharaj, HH Radhanath Maharaj, HH Sachinandana Maharaj, HH Rasamrita Maharaj, HH Jayadvait Maharaj, HH Gopal Krsna Maharaj, and HH Kadamba Kanan Maharaj.

ASA - Yes. Reviews and suggestions from different people! They need to be approached personally.

Please let us know your thoughts on this. If any other devotees would like to contribute, please share ideas 🙏.

your servant,

Subhadra Mayi DD

ASA - One idea is that it is not a timed book. So, we printed 1,000 copies so that we would have a stock in India for maybe one year.

Devotees visiting can take some back to their countries.

What about Rasabhihari Lal and Sons?

Seems we need a stock in Mumbai and other places where we have friends with clear promotional information, like who to contact for orders and how to pay.

Thank you so much.

Thanks to your Uncle...

Hare Krsna.

We are sick and tired and cold and lonely.

Ha! Ha! Hare!

😁

As soon as we say that we laugh.

Of course, we are!

So are you.

This is the material world.

There is no pleasing weather without bad weather.

Old age is a collection of dis eases.

Use this body like an old tool.

Use it to the very end, and then recycle it into a new tool or.... or....

Wake up to your real tools, in your real home.

Go...

🐂🐂🐮🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐷🐮🐮🐮

... loka.

8.12PM

Tired.

Long day.

Every day, we learn new tricks in Vaidhi bhakti.

Our bellybutton infection is not bright red anymore but still there.

We texted Dr. Chakravarty about trying a different anti-fungal cream.

Krsna svarpa Das and other devotees are stating to arrive from Silchar etc.

USA Movie editing is going swiftly now.

Work with NIOS, Dr. Samaresh, Art Das, Sumantra et al is going well.

Ranchor, Govinda, Sri Hari/Syama-sakhi/Subhadra-mayi, Krsna-loka, Vipin, T. Vidya Devi Dasi, Vira-Gadadhara, Pramodini Radha, SUKADEVA et al, et al, are our neighbors and constant companions, and keep us alive!

We just do a little.

They do a lot.

One cleaning lady comes daily and sweeps and washes the floor.

She is wife of nice fire sacrifice devotee. While she is her we go up on the roof sometimes and chant.

Now the sun is warm in the morning up there even though it is getting cold here.

Hare Krsna!!

Which one of us will be the next to die?

Dance on fire until the end, Hari-kirtan is your only friend.

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP

How can I get rid of pride of austerities or not smoking or getting up early ?

HpS - By considering that only by Srila Prabhupada's austerity have we been able to follow the regulative principles.

Left to our own free will we would be trying to enjoy all manner of demonic delights.

How can I engage pride for KC ?

ASA - https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/14/140/

🦍 ??? Useful?

Is "being proud and being" egoistic according to language used by Prabhupada?

how are pride and presitge related ?

can your grace elaborate on these or mention some sections of Shastra to read.

regards,

Harsh

HpS - Think we can be very proud that we have done something nice for Krsna. That we did some real sacrifice for His satisfaction, but acknowledging that we are like little children and need a lot of help to make our little offers useful.

Small but with help, very real!

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Śrīla Prabhupāda!

Muchas gracias por su santa asociación.

Respecto a la conexión online por la aparición y celebración de Vyasa-puja de Locana das Ṭhākura, y SS Hanumatpresaka Swami y el parampara. También habrá un humor festivo en Occidente por el nacimiento de Jesús esos días.

Envío los cálculos de tiempos con el reciente cambio, regresamos al horario normal. Este año anunciaron la eliminación del horario de verano.

24 de Diciembre:

5:30 pm de India

23 de Diciembre:

6:00 am Ciudad de México

7:00 am Lima

Muchas gracias por su misericordia Gurumaharaja.

Alguna ofrenda de bhoga en particular para el parampara?

HpS - Thank you for the information about the exact timings!

Menu for Vyasapuja we would request no Soya, Toffu etc.

Traditional Mexican dishes are usually wonderful.

Arroz, frijoles, tortillas de maiz.... tamales, tostadas etc.

O.K.?

Por otro lado, el templo ha empezado la planeación de la celebración majestuosa del 50 aniversario de la instalación de las Deidades, parece ser que se realizará justamente durante su visita a Ciudad de México. Estaremos enviando mayores informes conforme haya avances.

HpS - Super! Jaya Sri Rama!

También leímos que existe la posibilidad de volver a visitar México en Agosto del 2023.

¡Es una posibilidad maravillosa!

Talves podamos lograr que esa visita se centre más cerca de Ciudad de México en esa ocasión, por ahora tratamos de aprovechar lo mejor posible los 6 días de visita en el mes de Marzo para beneficio de todos y con sus bendiciones podemos continuar en Agosto.

Sus Señorías Radha Madana Gopal son especialmente poderosas, con Ellas he realizado que realmente Krsna es quien controla y mantiene el universo entero, desde nuestro entendimiento a Isvara podemos ir avanzando poco a poco.

Muchas gracias Gurumaharaja.

Por favor disculpe nuestras ofensas.

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Asta Sakhi dd

HpS - Tan pronto que es posible es importante dejar nuestras mascaras, disfraces, y salir de esta cine, y volver a ayudar con la oganizacion de los festivales de Radha-Krsna in Goloka, no?

Es bueno si eso es nuestra ultima respiracion del aire material, no?

Hare Krishna

Dear Gurudeva

Please accept my humbled obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I'm really sorry Gurudeva, in a long time I didn’t write you, is just, specially the last years, I fealt that I didnt make a really important service for the sankirtan, nothing dign for your service Gurudeva. But when I read you in twitter and see you in the holy dham, I think that at least I could write you my actual condition in my life, is not to much but is where I have found a safe place to stay in Krishna consciousness.

HpS - ASA - Thank you Hare Krsna! Please summarize the rest of the letter in a smaller content and send again.

We want to hear it but our ability is small.

Please!

This year I was absorted in my family, caring my parents, my husband and my pregnancy. Was a year where I tried to see Sri Radha and Krsna, taking care of persons who are close to me and take care of me too. And in the daily, Cleaning thinking in Krsna, cooking thinking in Krsna, buying thinking in Krsna, and of cours, just trying because my mind is not my friend all the time. 

Im chanting with not constance the rounds, just chant when I want or I needed, and this is the problem, I don't chant when I don't want, and that would have real devotion. But at least, I kept the pleasure for chanting the holy name, and for my condition is very incredible for me, always is my only refuge, and Im thanking for that, although, I always feel afraid of losing it for my inconstance and offenses. I trying at least to listen kirtans when im working or making things at home. I'm reading regularly of Srimati Radharani and BG and adoration to my deities.

About realizations this year, In all my pregnancy we receive a lot of mercy and blessing from devotees, family and friends, was like fealt the mercy from Sri Radha and Krsna near to us. My son born September 20 and his name is Ricardo Baladev, is healthy and so adorable. Im absolutely in shoked about how stronger is the love for a son, I believe absolute that be mother help me so much to feel more respect about the love for god and the spiritual life, so now I need to make better my sadhana if I really what to back to God with your refuge, because now I am so far. 

Thank you Gurudeva for the inspiration, your service to Srila Prabhupada, your example is my restart when I am lost the enthusiast, and if I didn’t have it, I don’t know where would I be. Happy for your soon Vyasa puja. Congratulations Gurudeva. I'm waiting for your visit to Mexico City the next year, I hope to be there with my family. 

Thank you Gurudeva for all. Please forgive all my offenses. Sri Krsna always protect you. Hare Krishna.

Hare Krisha Querido Maharaja todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada 🌺

!! Acepte mis humildes reverencias espero que este muy bien. Escribo para reportar mis actividades en el templo de Santiago, Chile y tambien para responder las preguntas que me realizo.

ASA - Jaya! Puede editar un poco mas pequeno, intenso, y reinviar!!

Gracias!

🐷🐷🐷

Comenzare por responder sus preguntas mis guias en mi preceso espiritual en el templo han sido la Madre Guru Govinda, quien me ha apoyado desde conoci la conscienca de Krishna, Madre Priya Sakhi me ha dado su asociacion y me ha guiado en diferentes procesos sobretodo en todos los que tienen que ver con la educación y realización de cursos, la Madre Sruti priya quien tambien me ha dado su asocacion y siempre me esta inspirando con su conocimiento y tambien podria mencionar a la Madre Maha Alandini y la Madre Gita Govinda quienes tambien me han apoyado en todo lo que respecta a realización de servicio y avance espiritual. Todas ellas me han apoyado e inspirado para que pueda realizar servicio en el moviento y para que tambien me eduque para ser una buena devota.

Por el momento no estoy realizando psicotarapia mi desarrollo laboral ha ido de la mano con lo social desarrollando ejecución de Proyectos sociales para la atención de personas en situación de calle. En este momento trabajo como Coordinadora de un Proyecto social nuevo en Chile que se llama "Vivienda primero" y consiste en entregar viviendas a personas en situación de calle por 3 años y desde ahí comenzar la interveción psicosocial para trabajar diferentes problematicas, y asi mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas. Por el momento me encuentro con bastante trabajo administrativo en temas financieros, guiando las intervenciones que realizan mis compañeros y visitando a los participantes del Proyecto para evaluar salud mental y derivar a los dispositivos pertimentes para que reciban la atención que requieren. El proximo año me gustaria tomar pacientes de manera particular para trabajar problematicas en adicciones que es en lo que tengo más experiencia.

En cuanto a mi servicio en el templo continuo ayudando en la Fiesta de Srila Prabhupada, estoy recibiendo inducción para hacer guirnaldas de flores y tambien tengo bastante servicio por el festival que se realizara este 03 de diciembre Ratha Yatra estoy ayudando con las manualidades para hacer diferentes adornos, participaré bailando en la procesión, estaré pintando caritas a los niños que participen y hare un marco decorado con el Señor Jaganath para que las personas que asistan se puedan tomar una bonita fotografia y tener un lindo recuerdo.

Espero que krishna le de mucha salud para seguir disfrutando de sus maravillosas clases.

Me despido reiterando mi adminiración hacia usted.

Mis humildes reverencias Hare Krishna !!🙏
