Dear Guru Maharaja,

Aware of your trip to India this coming October 1 of this year, we formed a delegation of 13 devotees to be able to accompany you to Calcutta, Manipur and Vrindavam, in order to be able to buy the tickets and be able to coincide with your itinerary, please we would like to know dates and time of stay in the different places you will visit in order to match our reservations with yours.

Thanking you in advance for your courtesy, I cordially say goodbye.

Atte. His humble and eternal servant at his lotus feet, birth after birth Jiyada Nrsmha dasa. 

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!! paoho. Not trying to be absurd, but we often consider our life breath by breath now. We are always trying to make the Calendar in the Kapi Dhvaja complete from a broad perspective and also in practical detail.

Our rough plan is to be in Spain from 15th July until October first.

The last week of October friends and family from South America may join us and pursue their own work in Spain. Then they would spend three weeks in India: Kolkata, Manipur, (Delhi) Braja.

That is the rough plan.

Of course, it depends on health. Global political and health situations etc.

We have tickets up to the 17th of April and then we hope to investigate the tickets to Madrid 15th July and those on to India starting as soon as possible.

Will we have any trouble as USA citizens traveling to Spain and then leaving for India?

Thank you.

Hare Krishna, Dear Gurudeva!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you.

Please accept our humble obeisances.

As of every two weeks:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups (English & Spanish) as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm

Hare Krsna!!!

This is our last week of holidays. It seems we will have face-to-face classes 3 times a week and online classes twice a week. But I need to see if I, particularly, can do that or not since I

take immunosuppressive pills.

Today we had my blood tests and within two weeks I will have my appointment. Let see how the results turn out. Family is ok. Since the beginning of this year, we all are taking morning walks. I chant rounds and my mother and my sister pray the rosary.

Thanks a lot for all your help and patience.

I am sending this monthly schedule on Dvadasi as you recommended me.

On the last Kapi Dhvaja you have mentioned: "May be nice if some local, Ashokavan devotees lead on more days while we are here".

Gurudeva, if Jagad Guru das agrees I can share Tuesdays with him.

So, he can also lead the kirtan from New Asoka Van those days. I will ask him.

Thank you very much for your attention! 🙏🏻

HARE KRISHNA!!!

ASA - All leaders should be regular Mangala arati participants, and if the bandwidth allows share there screens, no? Also, should learn the word by world meanings. Other wise it sounds funny sometimes!

Thank you everyone!!!

Hare Krishna, Maharaja and devotees.

PAMHO AGTSP.

Tomorrow I would be presenting on D evahuti's questions and Lord Kapila's answers.

Sundara radhika devi dasi.

ASA - AgtSP. Paoho. So nice to get your association again!

We will be listening.

Who will be the speakers for the next two weeks?

asa[e] vad; initation, second

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, pamho

Maybe some devotees will like me less. Nevertheless, it seems to me that some devotees are very eager to take second initiation due to you are retiring to India soon.

Maybe I can give some insights here due to I took second initiation in 2006. Elder devotees explained to me that from that point I was going to be on the spot. It was a huge responsibility.

And I took the vow to serve Sri Sri Radha Madana Bihari and every Friday from 2006 to 2013 I performed service there. Krsna then started to tested me, I have some slipps. So I have to say for those who want to take second initiation that is not an easy path ¡¡¡

Some godbrothers and sisters are not in favor that some of the candidates take second initation, but they prefer not to say anything. I am not in favor and also not against them.

However, I just want to say that they need to think very carefully the huge step that they are going to make. Plus, if some of them have some situations that need to be fixed from their past they should try to fix them first. They are going to be consider as ladies and gentlemen.

HpS - Yes, Karuna krsna Das, Chosica Temple Council, have made exactly the same comments, and one of the candidates who had some financial debts to pay has done it.

Also, second initiation is for brahmanas, ksatriyas and higher class vaisyas. All should ne twice born.

Also, even if we do not take second initiation formally, we must be fixed in Brahman and this Paramatma by the informal process of following our Harinama diksa vows.

If we fall from either first or second initiation vows it is about the same, no?

Get back up.

Fallen the process or as Maharaja Bharat, adjust our Bhava.

All of the candidates from the list participate in FMP. That is a very strong point.

Also some godbrothers and sisters are maybe shy or recatados haha and do not try to show of and maybe they are more qualified to take second initiation. But that is another topic.

For instance, if you study to become a teacher you need to know why do you want to be a teacher. And what are going to be your responsabilities.

In my opinion. If you worship Sri Sri Gaura Nitai in Wilson you do not need second initiation.

So sorry Gurudeva if this bothers you or the readers from this blog, and thank you for this blog. Wherein we can express ourselves freely with education.

HpS - CmDD we are all indebted to you for making these points. You will be a great grandmother.

At the end of the day as you say mercy is more important than Justice. KRSNA IS SO MERCIFUL AND SO DO YOU. Nevertheless, we do not need to take advantage of that mercy

Thanks a lot Gurudeva

See you in FMP

CMDD

HpS - I'm demanding, according to the ISKCON laws that the candidates be presented by the local media and people have a chance to make objections.

Thank you!

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

Well, it's been a while since I wrote to the blog. Since I arrived from NY everything was moving so fast. I call recall my 2 hours call with LATAM in order to change my flight so I can be for the Sri Vyasa Puja. It was an interesting VP but I can say that most were overjoyed.

I want to express my gratitude from the bottom of my heart to Palika dd and Jambavan das due to I was in NY they were handling all the organization pretty well. Jambavan and Jana pavana made a susbtantial effort in order to have and present a nice offering.

HpS - The variety and excellence of distribution of the Prasdam offerings was incredible! AgtSP!

I asked Radhika Raman prabhu's offering in advance due to he always present a very deep, sober and profound offering. While I was translating it I realized that I was speechless, haha what can I say. He had already covered everything.

HpS - We can smile and wag our tails.

In my last flight I saw two movies once with a Dog's story haha. But one part of the first movie was about a young boy who was neglected by his family, but one teacher was taking care of him and his education, she wanted to adopt him, nevertheless his evil family do not permit that, she and her husband became attached to him due to the little boy was living with them for a little time. And when she was about to say good bye to him, she told him "You can become whatever you want, you just have to believe in yourself"

Years pass and she passed away, but his husband one day open the door and there it was the little boy now as an adult. With a picture of her teacher. He is a famous artist now. And he said: I was always recall the words from my beloved teacher: The one who actually believe in myself and gave me support. "You can become whatever you want, you just have to believe in yourself" and I did he said: I am an artist now. He gave some financial support to his teacher's husband.

The whole point to this story, is that you as our Spiritual Master has already touched our lives in such a way that we feel support, confidence, gratitude. That is the power of an Superb Master.

HpS - "The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things. Of ships and sails and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings, and why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings", Louis Carol, maybe "Alice in Wonderland".

If we Monkeys and Piggys have wings, have helped anybody it is because Srila Prabhupada can make even pigs fly!!! 😳 Whatever good qualities you find in us are maybe very little due us and all due to him, Krsna!

I called ARTD in order to have the possibility to go and visit You and my good friend Carolina, the kids, this weekend, but he told me that it was impossible, I was expecting that he asked me to do the covid test but he didn't even ask me that. I have my vacinnations and the booster shot. Anyway. I hope to see you in Nityananda Trayodasi.

HpS - Yes, we discussed it. I said ask Carolina and he said that she was seeing so much difficulty even with the testing that she was afraid that the children might get infected from visitors.

Hmmm.

We are more controlled now with children here, but maybe later!!

For sure we are planning on visiting Chosica temple for many hours on Nitya-ananda tryodasi.

I am giving a summer course, but not English, this time I am giving statistics. I remember oh yes I am an Engineer too haha. It is really nice I am revising my notes. Journalists do not like numbers. So I have a very hefty challenge there.

HpS - Making numbers fun!!

Tomorrow I am giving the Class for Iskcon Chosica. This is my only current practical service.

Thanks for all Gurudeva

I hope to see you soon

CMDD

HpS - Now you must become a Guru. You must find ways to introduce BG and SB into your circle of contacts. The external form does not matter as much as the concepts.

There is a reason why things happen to us.

Next life you be the Gandhari?

Have 100 sons!!!!

From bad to worse, but see Krsna face to face ....

😬
