Preaching in South America

Here Acharya das


I am preaching in India for over 10 years,and my spiritual master and myself have decided to look what are the possibilities for preaching in Latin America.


HpS - Who is your "spiritual master"?


I took birth in Colombia but do not speak Spanish anymore, however I can take the language up within one year.


With all Your experience what can be a good country for preaching?


HpS - I have focused on Peru, Chile, Argentina and Mexico. We have visited others. We have some experience, but from our perspective. Generally speaking they can all be fine. There are individual differences. If you like potatoes you will like Peru. If you like feminist movement you will like Chile, if your like European classical culture - more for Argentina. You should ask local devotees, visit, travel, join programs on line.

Of course, none of them are good like anywhere because of the pandemic. Preaching more and more may be within local village.


Also a question, Krishna West can they give difficulties?


HpS - No more than Krsna North, or Krsna South or Hari-nama-ruci or the Bhaktivedanta Institute et al.


Also we have to look for papers to stay in a country, we are looking for dual citizenship in Colombia, according law I have right on this.

HpS - Thank you. Please join our Blog and send questions and comments here. We just haven't strength to do much in the way of particular comment unless it is presented in general perspective like this.

Hari Bolo!!

Thank you again.

Hare Krsna!!


6.23PM.... Long, hard, productive day. We finished, cut, folded, copied, stamped, addressed a 6-page letter to Subal et al in Richmond. We tried to distribute a scanned copy here but the print-through from writing on the back of each page makes it look bad.

Good letter. Lots of pasted stuff.


Then we answered the mail and cook for Krsna...


Now local Kirtan and short class at 8PM with Radha Natabara's Yatra.


Where is Sita?

She must be really worried that Rama is unhappy without Her!


Look for Her! Give Her the Ring, and answer Her questions about Rama and Laksmana.

We attach one page of the letter as a sample.

AGTSP!!! Paoho... Sorry if we lost any of your letters!! We had too, too, many at our birthday anniversary and for the end of the year, so we had to glance at them and erase most of them!! Please send again any mail that we missed. That is the best way.

We saw the following in Whataspp!


[9:09 PM, 3/9/2021] Yamunesvar Das Mukta Okram Singh:

11.23.51 Bhagavatam: Purport; ...... Bodily happiness and distress are administered by the demigods, who can never be brought under our control;

What it really meant, I can't understand. Please hightlight me.


HpS - When we look at the translation and purport, https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/11/23/51/, it seems very much like the same idea that we first learned in Isopanishad: https://vedabase.io/en/library/iso/6/, "He who systematically sees everything in relation to the Supreme Lord, who sees all living entities as His parts and parcels, and who sees the Supreme Lord within everything never hates anything or any being."

From a spiritual perspective we are all Krsna's fingers - fingers with free will and creativity, but naturally in harmony, never bothering each other.

In material Bhava there is conflict, I want your samosa, but that is to create the variety in the material world. As soon as we turn away from Krsna then there is NOTHING, so Krsna creates this world of duality. I suffer because I do not have the samosa. The only pleasure I get is in comparison to not having the samosa. Unless I can remember not having he samosa there is no real meaning to having it.

O.K.? It is all dualiti

es. The demigods are administering this according to the laws of Krsna, nature, and are as helpless as us. It is like the Sun. It is very powerful but does not deviate from its orbit.

O.K.? Little more clear?


[11:51 PM, 3/15/2021] Yamunesvar Das Mukta Okram Singh: Dandavat Pranam, H H HpS Maharaja!

How is Guruji's health?


HpS - If you had a 73-year old car, how would you expect it to be? Our health is like that. If are careful with it, it is excellent, very intelligent vehicle.


Are You coming Goura Goura Purnima at Mayapur? Some bhaktas are also going Mayapurfrom Thoubal. This time I will participate Goura Purnima here in Manipur.


HpS - Plan now is to maybe go to South America for one year, back to USA for three months, then Spain for three months, then go to Radha kund and leave body there 2024. Is not fixed but gives idea of how we think we might travel. We see that more and more people will have to return to village life with Krsna to be happy.


No communication with Guruji. I am so sorry.


HpS - Yes, it is like we said above. We had so many messages at new year and tried to answer them but in the end only solution was to look at them little bit and then erase and ask people to write again.

What is the name of the Bhakta who gave us the Tilak clay laddu??

Yours fallen servant,

Yamuneswar Das
