We just noticed in the bottom of our Whatsapp box a link that The Ambarisa Das sent us about the Rat Race that we didn't share.
Here it is.
It is very well done, but reminds us of a citation in NoD that material lamentation ie. how bad is material life, is not a mellow, relishable mellow, of devotional service, but it can serve as a preservative when an actual mellow is diminishing.

With so much joy and gratitude, we would like to share that on the most auspicious day of Ekadashi, ISKCON of Richmond has officially received the Permit and our site is now authorized to be an official Church/Temple site. This was a long-cherished dream and by the mercy of all our Vaishnava Acharyas, it’s now a reality!!

Thank you very much.

HpS-ASA - - Hare Krsna!!! So nice. All this activity is Daivi prakrta. Building a Temple is from different world!
Hare Krishna Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga! All glories to Sri Krishna Sankirtan!
I wanted to personally invite you to an exciting Sankirtan event in Ontario, Oregon which will take place during your upcoming Boise visit. It's just a one-hour drive away from Boise. Krishna Meditations is representing the country / culture of India in Ontario's Chamber of Commerce Global Village Festival. This will be our second time participating in this family and child-oriented educational festival.
This is a great opportunity to showcase the rich and diverse culture of India, crowned by Vaisnavism. We will teach about Indian culture, distribute Srila Prabhupada's books, teach mantra meditation, offer Kirtan, serve prasadam, lead a kid's craft, offer face painting, and pull little Jagannath, Baladev, and Subhadra Devi in the Village Parade! We also have 30 minutes of stage time and will be presenting traditional Bharat Natyam dancing and leading Kirtan with the crowd.
If you would like to attend and have your own space for "ask a Guru", or something similar, we would be thrilled to accommodate that.
Many other devotees from the temple and beyond will be participating. The event is from 11am-4pm at Lions Park in Ontario, June 4.
We are very much looking forward to having your association at your upcoming visit.
Praying for your blessings,
Your aspiring servant,
Tulasi Krishna Devi Dasi
HpS - Wow! AGTSP paoho We can barely keep up with the programs already scheduled. It was hard when were ride a young ass, but now he is old and feeble minded. The only hope is that he is a little bit smarter.
We talked about the program
and seems like just too much,
travel, festival, travel, rathayatra, die.
So... hope to see you here!!! Best of LUCK with the festival. Make so many people into devotees but just explaining the books and then distributing them.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada and His infinite mercy.
All glories to the International Society for Krsna Consciousness, all glories to my spiritual master pouring out his mercy on this sinful soul like me:
Hare Krishna dear Gurudev. Please accept my obeisances at Your lotus feet.
HpS - ASA
Thank you for your patience with this homeless hippie, many things have happened since the last time I wrote to you, the most important for me:
I had a motorcycle accident in which I almost left my body, the impact was so great that the people who He saw that he thought I was dead, they were surprised to see that I got up,
took my motorcycle (I was hit by a motorcycle from behind) and walked out. I suffocated because the impact was so great that it took all the oxygen out of my lungs.
I thought... how difficult to think of Krishna at the time of death in practical terms.
My ribs hurt, these days I go to a traumatologist to do some studies and plates. Otherwise I'm fine, just sore.
ASA - Relevant Foto Attached
The cool thing about this accident is that it's 1:50 in the morning and I'm singing my rounds.
I feel lucky because it helps me wake up, I've been asleep for a long time.
Jay Gurudev!!! thank you, thank you, thank you.
ASA - AgtSP AGTSP A G T S P!
2.- I spoke with the zonal GBC of the Ratha Yatra, and for now he doesn't want to know anything about it, they recently operated on him, and even so he is in charge of the program.
HpS - He needs an assistant, no?
It really is admirable. I didn't mean to bother him, I'll talk to him later.
He told me that when we started it we were able to do it in a certain spontaneous way and we skipped Some technical regulations that require Him as a zonal GBC, so forgive me for being such a boaster and thinking that I can do a Ratha Yatra by myself.
ASA - 🐽
Ratha Yatra means work in society, at that time we started three bhaktas (two bhaktas from Uruguay and one from Córdoba) Of which only I follow without initiation. In 2013 they gave me recommendations to get started, but tests happened and I couldn't overcome them.
The same dear Gurudev I promised you to make a Ratha Yatra, so I am thinking of making a Ratha Yatra kids for the children or a happy jaganath party. I feel sad that children cannot see Ratha Yatras.
HpS/ASA - Super! Small cart, small dieties, big Kirtan! Video, photo graph it. Make a movie.
When I just came to Córdoba, once walking to work I saw an ambulance under your foot... they were discounting a girl who committed suicide, then another day, coming back from connecting, another young girl's body was lying on the sidewalk, He had thrown himself from a building.
If these girls had gone to a Ratha Yatra and gotten Prabhupada's books, would they be happy and alive? .I am convinced that yes.
HpS - I was coming home from working for Master Card at 11PM. Walking to the Temple through the Tenderloin, a very rough area of San Francisco with bad bars, clubs etc.
I saw one Mexico guy walking along very depressed like he had lost his job, come home, got in a fight with his wife, slapped her hard and then walked out on the street.
Just spontaneously I said, "Don't forget God", and he stopped and his face lit up!
He looked at me like, "Yes! Yes! Thank you. Thank you. I forgot Him. He can help us even in the biggest mess."
Krsna consciousness is a must. Thank you for being motivated to continue in Ella, despite our limitations.
Yesterday with Radha JPJ we were listening to one of Your classes, It was talking about the Gopis and Vrndavam, and for a moment my humble home was transformed into Vrndavam thanks to You.
Thank you for bringing Vrndavam into this world.
These days with the help of Radha JPJ and with the mercy of Jagannatha I am resting to recover, we are reading Her Blog with Radha, we are happy to enjoy Her Tracendental adventures.
I would like to make a private consultation to work on my service.
Please forgive any offense committed inadvertently in this letter.
Trying to please him:
Bhakta Franco
HpS - I don't see any offenses. To quote Jani Joplyn -- Honey! You doin jus fine! [Doing just fine].
Go ahead... Expect a nice plateau in your Yoga. Waking up!!!
You are not Fanco. You are an angel made of light, you have been in a very great auto accident. Wake up!!!! Wake up!!!
Please accept my respectful obeisances at your beautiful lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!
I hope the present finds it fine and very happy in your sankirtan.
Summary report months keshava, narayana, visnu and madhusudana 😊:
One of the most beautiful events is that Tulasi Devi finally came to our home!!!💜 She is in the greenhouse now and Franco is heating it with a wood heater, so that she is comfortable. For me, it is wonderful to visit her, sing to her, water her, pray to her, circumambulate her, and chant the maha mantra near her. I feel such a special friendly energy... I ask you to be happy in this place and not to abandon me.
HpS - ASA -- 👍
It happened that I went to dance at an event at Adi Sakhi Devi dasi's house about three hours and more... from home and she gave me a tulasi. At this event prasadam was distributed and there was also a small table with Srila Prabhupada's books. we met prabhu Radha Raman from Argentina and his wife. It was wonderful when he told us that he helped build the temple of chosica...!!! When He told us that... we just fell at His feet because we remember our first spiritual home...😂😂😂
Then I decided to interview him so as not to miss all the wonderful and hard events that happened in his life at that time. One of the things he told us is that the most static moments of his spiritual life were those kirtans with the devotees in Peru....!!!
Otherwise Gurudev, I am following my early sadhana, chanting my rounds and following the principles. Sometimes it seems that I have insomnia 😀 because I get up at twelve or one in the morning but I prefer to stay awake because if I go back to sleep I'll get up late. And then after my sadhana sometimes I walk by or sometimes a little nap before I go to collect. I remember your class where you tell about a devout grijasta who would take a nap after lunch until ten at night, say good night to his family😊 and he would stay up until mangalartik, make poems...etc. Then I had a short nap before going to work. We try to follow his example and sing, dance and write at dawn...
HpS - Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura!
Thank you for telling us stories of Vaishnavas that inspire us so much to follow our spiritual life at the most important hour 😃
Now I just need to live this saying: the past is history The future is a mystery And the present is... a gift❤💙 ....
ASA - Hari Bolo! '@'pop~
Sushila Dasi gave us Lord Jagannatha books and Vaisnava compassion to distribute. We have already given away some. But someone very cute...
Came in the package...
a beautiful puppet of ..
Srimati Radharaniiii!!!!!!!😀😀😀😃 So I am going to visit Srimati Tulasi Devi with Srimati Radharani😊😊😊 and I really feel happy!! Maybe I'm just a girl.. because I really love playing with this puppet and I feel really accompanied, it's amazing...
Gopalito turned 10 last Sunday, May 15... he always does wonderful things and loves puppets... Franco taught him how to sew and he has sewn his own various puppets!! and Franco helps him a lot. Franco also made a Krsna soft toy and I tried to make a Sri Radharani soft toy for Gopal😊.
Please, I ask Your precious blessings for the spiritual life of our son.
HpS-ASA - Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna... Hare Rama.... HARE RAMA!!! Gopal. May he become a very profound person.
I overextended myself. ..I was thinking of writing a short letter..but I can't help it. . Happily it is a summary of several months😊
Please, I ask for your valuable prayers for Franco's recovery. He had a very bad motorcycle accident... he tells you the details in his letter. Thanks to our beloved Krsna, He is recovering well.
Thank you for your valuable time and for being our Gurudeva!!!!!
Please Gurudev forgive any offense committed unintentionally, in this letter.
Please accept Franco's and Gopalito's dandavat Her attempted disciple:
Radha Japa Prati Jalpa Devi dasi
P.F. Ekangui Devi Dasi asked me to tell you that he is very happy with your response, Gurudev and thanks you very much.
HpS - ASA -- See attached foto of Lord Jagannatha. We think of her! What is happening with her life? It should be a great adventure.
