Hare Krsna Gurudeva,

all glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my humble Obeisances.

I have been keeping it to myself. And try to work on sadhana myself, here I am writing to you not expecting any solution, as you many times say " you don't know our situation".

Our four rules have been intact.

HpS/ASA

That means that by Srila Prabhupada's mercy we are at least human beings, no?!!

Our chanting from June 2025 remained 16 but, we used to do it un-enthusiastically, while watching kirtan, video. Because the moment we stop using eyes we sleep.

Now from Dec 2025, our parents are with us

HpS/ASA - Jaya!

...and we talk everything. Our main focus is not get angry.

Maybe it is Indian cold or our insincerity our average rounds are 3 on beads.

We don't want to ramble our mind.

Positive: Some mental chanting goes on, lots of Narasimha videos. The recent one replay in our mind.

Seems remembering has increased.

Trying to be ritualistic disciple.

HpS/ASA - Thank you for report. Probably true of many readers. We also struggle to keep Rupa Goswami's sadhana!

We keep beating the nine basic words into our heart:

Get up early and get your rounds done well.

Oue basic religious principle is to start chanting by 12.50AM. That gives us ten minutes for each round until 3.30AM. Then bath, Mangala arati, etc with devotees. Then SB class with devotees. Then Ayurvedic break fast feast then...

Many challenges from weather, old body etc, but feel that we have something to contribute to the Sankirtan movement!

If people take it our not is not 100% under our control.

I'm sure that your effort with your family has an effect. Great or small depends on Krsna.

NoI 7 is true. If we GUEAGORDW then we start to get a taste for Chan Ting. It maybe only a game of chess of putting the words in the right place, but the Euclidean logic games, Rasa, later starts to glow with real efforts like compassion, satisfying Radha/Krsna, Gauranga!

Waiting for more news.

Hare Krishna, dear gurudeva. Pamho, AGTSP!

I hope yor sankirtan is going well.

HpS/ASA - TlgaSP!!! Very nice to hear from you.

Our occupation in Srila Prabhupada's, Sri Sri Nitai-Gauranga Sankirtana is wonderful. It is their mercy. Only hope that we can expand it more and more. That ISKCON can become a healthy part of the nation of Peru.

I've been talking to Abhirama about programs in Chosica for your visist. He said that you are coming to Chosica 2 different days.

I've been talking to Karuna Krishna also, about details for Temple activities.

We have proposals for Sunday, March 23th and 26th (Rama navami festival):

On Sunday 23rd a Guru-tattva seminar, a shared conference between you and Radhika-raman Prabhu at 8 am until Govinda 9.30 am.

At 4 PM, after lunch, a seminar on education by Mataji.

You can come for Mangal-aratik that day.

For Rama-navami, Thursday, 26th March, a working day, we have afternoon program:

Four-thirty pm is Abhiseka, 5.30 pm Drama, 6pm Class, 7 pm Gouraratik. Could be 5.30 class and 6.30 drama. You, may be, don't need to be here since Mangalartik.

ASA - Jaya! Maybe Drama after Class. Talk about the Drama and then see it.

Anyone will want to come from Lima after working hours and join a program in Chosica? All go back to Lima in the evening?

Maybe morning program in Lima. Fasting until Noon.

What is the latest that people should leave from Chosica to get back to Lima timely?

We are looking forward to have a little Vapu with you in Peru.

HpS/ASA - We have been restricted from travel by the body, buddy, but now the doctors agree that if we deal with it properly, then it can travel well enough.

Peru... Peru... Peru... Contributing the family life that we all once knew!

The cult of Vasudeva and Sankarsana! The original Gods of the Andes!

Write stories, books, preach the Krsna book!

We don't have the general Calendar in front of us of dates for Peru visit, but trust your lucidity 😃.

Your servant,

The LAD

ASA - How are the Priests/Mayor of Chosica?

All glories to Srila Prabhupada 🙏

All glories to Parama Karuna Sri Sri Goura Nitai

All glories to HH Hanumatpresaka Swami 🙏🌻

Hare Krishna, Maharaj HpS 🙏

Please, accept all my respect, gratitude and obediences.

Yesterday, in the Japa Joe program. You asked us about Vartman Acarya. Is our Vartman Acarya our Founder Acarya, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada?

Thank you, millions of times, for your mercy, inspiring association, priceless prayers and blessings for all of us.

Thank you for these amazing and useful tools: daily programs with your guidance, Vedabase and this blog 🐸

The greatest blessing of Krishna for me in this life is to have the devotee's association like yours, who to teach us how serve and love properly to our dearest Srila Prabhupada.

Jaya Srila Prabhupada 🙇

An enthusiastic servant's apprentice of you 🙏

Annie from Lima

Thank you 🌻

HpS/ASA - Vartman means path, road, in Sanskrit language as dictionary says.

To our comprehension it is a Siksa guru, who gives us advice how to get on the Path to Goloka.

We are pushing through the dense jungle trying to go to Goloka and someone explains that there is a nice path that we can take. Eg. They tell us where is an ISKCON center etc.

This can be Srila Prabhupada directly and/or other people like you or me.

Next comes Diksa guru and then Sikha guru(s) who guides us after Initation.

First chapter of Caitanya Caritanmrita focuses on this.

If you can, send some photos of your self and associates et al.

Thank you.

Sunday, February 15, 2026, at 7.30 am, Houston time

We will continue reading Madhya Lila; 18.67 onwards.

(The Lord Caitanya's visit to Vrindavana)

Thank you to all devotees for their dedicates service to Maharaja's class. H. G. Nikunja Bihari Prabhu will help us with Spanish translation seva for reading notes of CC. H.G. Mitravinda Mataji will help us with seva of back up translator; in case there are technical difficulties.

Plans seem good.

Association seems good.

Planning to adjust the plans as the situations develop sounds good.

We are little, but definitely members of Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON, no?

Hope your health is practical.

We hope to learn more than we teach.
