On November 7, 8 and 14 we had the Vaishna Care course taught by Her Grace Sangita devi dasi.

It was a pleasure to be able to participate in this course, I felt that I was no longer alone in my desire to develop a devotee care system in our congregation.

HpS - It is big passion of my associate here, Nitai-gaurasundara Das.

The truth is that the course dealt in depth with the care of the devotee in his last moments before leaving the body and how to help the people who lost him.

HpS - Terminal care. NgD is a doctor. He would like to join any effort.

Despite this, it was stated that care goes beyond this specific area and encompasses constant care of the person both physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, at every moment of life.

After finishing the course I realized that many devotees from Chile have taken it. We are already organizing among ourselves. On Sunday, November 22, we had the first meeting, now the project was presented to the local authority in order to carry it out.

This area of ​​service is the one that motivates me the most, I am passionate about helping and caring for the devotees and I believe that it is something vital to keep ISKCON strong and healthy for many years on planet earth.

PS: Sorry for not connecting to the Gurudeva programs, I can't do it, since the services have changed and the time change is 3 hours for Chile. The good thing is that I am doing more sankirtan, 4 or 5 hours in the morning, then I arrive and in the afternoon I cook for the deity. It has been very nectar, sometimes very purifying for the false ego, suffering transcendentally and learning to better approach people in sankirtan. Hare Krishna.

Your servant

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

El 7, 8 y 14 de noviembre tuvimos el curso de Vaishna Care impartido por su Gracia Sangita devi dasi. 

Fue un agrado poder participar de este curso, sentí que ya no estaba solo en mis deseos para desarrollar un sistema de cuidado al devoto en nuestra congregación.

La verdad es el que curso trató a profundidad el cuidado al devoto en sus últimos momentos antes de abandonar el cuerpo y cómo ayudar a las personas que le perdieron.

A pesar de ello, se expuso que el cuidado va más allá de esta área específica y engloba un constante cuidado de la persona tanto física, emocional, mental y espiritual, en cada momento de la vida. 

Luego de terminar el curso me di cuenta de que muchos devotos de Chile lo habían tomado. Ya estamos organizándonos entre nosotros. El domingo 22 de noviembre tuvimos la primera reunión, ahora se presentó el proyecto a la autoridad local para poder llevarlo a cabo.

Esta área de servicio es la que más me motiva, siento pasión por ayudar y cuidar a los devotos y creo que es algo vital para mantener a ISKCON fuerte y saludable por muchos años en el planeta tierra. 

PD: Perdón por no conectarme a los programas Gurudeva, no puedo hacerlo, ya que me han cambiado los servicios y el cambio de hora es de 3 horas para Chile. Lo bueno es que estoy haciendo más sankirtan, 4 o 5 horas por la mañana, luego llego y en la tarde le cocino a la deidad. Ha estado muy néctar, a veces bien purificante para el ego falso, sufriendo trascendentalmente y aprendiendo a como abordar mejor a las personas en sankirtan. Hare Krishna.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, pamho AGTSP!

Thank you Maharaja for the encouragement. Your responses to my last letter have given us a lot of hope and enthusiasm.

HpS - Thank you. Thank God!!

Sadhu Sanga’s mother is well. She is planning to move to Boise at some point.  And Sudevi speaks Mexican/Spanish, yes. They are really hoping that you can visit Boise again someday. They actually moved here very much anticipating seeing you.

HpS - Alway see you in Goloka!!! We are in a movie house, sitting next to each others. 😜

In response to your question: Do you continue with music?

I’m continuing to write and record. This Karuna virus has served us well in many respects. Not traveling, not playing in bars has been really nice. Incorporating the Maha mantra in a few songs. Had some devotees in the recording studio last month to sing Hare Krishna. It very much improved the songs! Lol

HpS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smz7zghQLaY  our favorite song. Hearing it is more and more education.

Not really sure who my audience is or how to find a different audience but there is a record label that will release a couple more albums for Nick Delffs. Hopefully they can be good offerings. And if they are praised I can pass it on.

When I find my self thinking “I am the creator of these songs” or “I am so great” lol I try to meditate on the fact that Krishna is the ability in man. Writing and performing has been a humiliating and humbling process as well.

HpS - ASA -- We do something. It is like a child helping his mother make a cake for his father's birthday party. He actually does stuff and has good ideas. Really.

And yes! YouTube and not needing a big audience! 

Interesting that you sent that Bear Dance painting because growing up it was in our living room and I would always stare at it and just recently we were at my parents house and it was on the wall and I was staring at it thinking about all the bears doing kirtan. Hari bol!

ASA - Support your right to arm bears.

My father was asking about you and he sends his respects. I believe you spoke with him at our wedding.

HpS - Yes, I think so. All your family seemed like rather awake people!

Thank you again Maharaja. I hope this finds well. 

Your aspiring servant,

TB/BW - Local 'spiritual'. 1.20".

A possible essay topic (PET) for the ASA-Encyclopedia is - The History of Music.

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=history+of+music

Srila Prabhupada wrote and we made a note, that the devotee can write articles and poetry for Krsna. We can research different communities and then write articles that will bridge the gap between their community and Lord Caitanya's community.

You can write for the ASA-Enc. Edit article.

Put it online? Look out Wikipedia here comes The Bhaktivedanta Monkey Pedia!!

AGTSP!

paoho

O.K. ... so we got ASA adhesive logo-stickers (for Stretch Island Fruit Leathers/Mr. P-nuts/etc), but what about ASA shorts, t-shirts (ladies bags???). . . seweable cloth badges?

This looks like a job for Uncle Gismo or his partial incarnation, CCD!!!

Let us research sources for these products, no?

AGTSP Paoho

It is cold and a fight with the snow.

Donald Trump may insight a civil war.

Our rat may bite us while we sleep and give us rabies.

Our earbuds kept falling out and we could not hear well from the computer. We bough a earpiece at Office Max today, but it is too tight and is giving us a head ache!!

Ha! Ha! Hare. Maya has an unlimited number of pleasures (pains) and no one can enjoy (suffer) them all. Govinda!!! Sita devi, Radharani, are really unhappy. They can really get everyone organized to serve Krsna. She can get the whole material world organized to serve Krsna, for those who want it. Our death can be so, so important.

Progress you make here, you can use in your service in Goloka.

We are having heart arhythmias. Missing beats. Delayed beats. This may be our last key stroke.

Then we can chant Hare Krsna.... and get all the satisfaction in the spiritual world that we get from ice-cream here.

Good night.

9.21 PM

Was a super excellent day.

Big fights with fear of rejection by people we are preaching to.

We have to work for Radha. Everyone else will be satisfied in the shadow if they are not in the sun.

All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Dear Hanumat Preshak Swami,

Please accept my humble obeisance at Your lotus feet.

I was trying very hard to open an account in blog but it was difficult because in India and my country nobody use this blog. But by the mercy of Lord Krishna, I met Your good disciple Vrajendra Kumar Das from Colombia in Vrindavan and he kindly helped me to open an account in blog.

Now my next project is to send to You introduction to my research work on the time aspect form [from] Srimad Bhagavatam and to prove the necessity of such research at present moment. I am 100% sure that Your Grace can uplift my humble work up to very high level. I am in very need in Your help.

So if Your Grace mercifully will allow me to send to You introduction to this work I will be very much content. And please excuse my poor English, so I will try all my best to write in understandable manner.

I am very happy to write this letter to Your Grace and I am feeling very much satisfied by Your Great compassion to such poor fallen soul as myself.

Falling on the dust at Your lotus feet

Your eternal humble servant Satyavati Dasi from Vrindavan

HpS - Hare Krsna. We are old, blind, and stupid. We don't have the ability to read any more, but if you start with a one or two line summary of the thesis here we can comment on that and then go on to some more maybe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_is_the_Simplest_Thing

Such a big topic. A couple of sentences to summarize your thesis.
