All Glories to Sri Sri GauraNitay!!!!
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!!
All Glories and my most humble and respectful obeisances to you Gurudeva!!!! I wish you a very happy Kartik month!!!
Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva I hope you are very well in health and in all aspects, I am glad to know that the film recordings were a success and that you are already installed in the ASA ashram near RadhaKunda, when I think of you and everything what he does to serve Srila Prabhupada I can see all the teachings of Upadesamrta put into practice, that is a constant inspiration for my spiritual life, and encourages me in times when I need strength and determination. Hope to see you next year we want to go with Guru Govinda and Srutipriya to Vṛndāvana for the next month of Kartik.
Many things have happened Gurudeva in this time, at one point I felt very lonely some of my devoted friends went to live outside of Chile and my closest friend moved away from the temple that was very difficult I pray for her because I know that finally Krishna will always he will be present in your life for all the service he has performed and at some point that relationship will flourish again. I was praying and taking refuge in Radharani to have a good association, I have never been a person of many friends but thanks to Krishna I have been able to make friends with wonderful Vaisnavis, we do service together and that has given a new impetus in my spiritual life.
My report of this last time is 16 daily rounds, 4 regulative principles, mangalarati at home, and worship of our deities at home, doing the Bhakti Sastri, my current service in the temple for a year is cooking for the deities, in addition I joined the cooking group of the deities in charge of Guru Govinda where we cook for the festivals now we are organizing everything for Govardhana Puja and we have been doing service for Nrsimha Caturdasi, Balarama Purnima, Janmastami and Radhastami it has been a very beautiful service, a lot of mercy and good association.
At home we worship our deities together with the family, reading Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita, if there is not so much time I listen to some class or pastime recorded from the Krishna Book and now we are celebrating the month of Kartik as a family, my children are already grown up Manjari the eldest will study next year at university and Giridhari will soon finish school, we work together with my husband Vrajesa cooking prasadam at home and we leave it in my friend Maha Anandini's business everything we do people love prasadam it's magic.
Gurudeva some time ago I wanted to tell you that I have the desire to take second initiation to be able to deepen my devotional service, serve the deities, decorate them, make their clothes and jewelry, I love knitting vests, for the winter I was knitting cloaks and hats for the Srila Prabhupada's murti that is on the altar, many devotees have inspired me to firmly make this decision including my friends Maha Anandini, Guru Govinda and Srutipriya, and according to the temple board they also agree that so be it if you accepts it and gives me his blessings.
I am calm Gurudeva, thanking Krishna for all the service and for all the facilities we have to support our family, I feel eternally indebted to Srila Prabhupada and you for always inspiring us to move forward.
I say goodbye dear Gurudeva, thank you very much for everything, for his constant efforts to be able to deliver Kṛṣṇa Consciousness wherever he goes, my eternal obeisances at his lotus feet.

*I hope my gift from Lord Varaha and Baby Hanuman has arrived, I think they traveled the world.
HpS - Yes, we got them. We appreciated them very much but since we are Sannyasi we have very small personal luggage. We can only carry one extra Dhoti some times.
So we were thinking of good home for them and finally we sent them back with Jayanta Das to his esteemed wife, Paurnamasi Devi Dasi, for all the children she teaches.
* Due to the kindness of the godbrothers who accompanied him I was able to follow his journey step by step through the incredible Manipur, Delhi, Mayapur and the wonderful Vṛndāvana Dham, thanks to them we were able to listen to his classes, see videos and beautiful photos which was a great food For the soul.
*Take some vratas for this month I have to take advantage of the mercy of this auspicious month to purify myself from my many anarthas.
HpS - We are making eternal friendships in the "prison" with other prisoners who want to take advantage of the process and go back to our service!!! However, we also have eternal associates in the spiritual world who are calling to us when we are alone and can listen to them.
Wake up to your real life.
