H. H. Guru-prasad Swami being enthused by H. G. Aravinda Das has sent us an e-mail asking us to enthuse our disciples to buy many books for the Krist Mas Marathon!

We are not sure what 'disciple' means in this context. It could mean the devotees who sent in their Annual Reports and were following Srila Prabhupada's standard for initiated disciples last year.

However, I guess the most practical definition would be the readers of this Blog who are not reporting their scores to another ISKCON Temple etc.

Buy a case of BBT books yourself, or write here that you will share a case with others, and how they can contact you.

Then, become a wise man from the East, giving gifts (books) all year, 2021, to the followers of Baby Jesus, wherever you go, however you meet them.

We buy cases of Light of the Bhagavata, Nectar of Instruction and Teachings of Lord Caitanya (hardbound) regularly.

😐

Thank you for the letters! AGTSP! Paoho. Got one from Jagat bandhu Das in Mexico that is a week old. So, sorry we have not answered it yet.

We did our Whatsapp letters, and emergency Yahoo mail, and now our eyes and heart are:

So nice to get your association: FMP! SB, NoI, classes. Calls. Blog... just by chanting. If we need some kind of external communication Krsna will tell us.

Lord Nrsmha deva tolerates our bad service!! 😥 Today we offered Him two bananas, 1/2-cup of yogurt, cup of cashews and a can of hot V-8 juice.

The Tweets seem to be pretty good.

Always have NoI, TLC, LoB with you, by the door etc. so that you can give it to people.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna... Always experimenting with ways to get people to read, take, the Bhaktivedanta Summary Studies and Purports.

Hare Krishna Querido Gurudeva!!!!!!!!!!!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Finalmente acabaron las clases en el colegio. Fue un año muy intenso, pero aprendimos muchas cosas, especialmente la capacidad de los niños por aprender de una manera diferente a lo habitual.

Hace unas semanas pudimos por fin ver a nuestra doctora. Despues de varios meses pudimos conversar con ella y ver como estaba esta maquina (cuerpo). Su conclusión: Necesito comer algo de carne para poder mantener mi sistema inmunológico fuerte, mas en esta pandemia.

Respondiendo sus preguntas

HpS --- Thank you all. How is your venerable Mother? Your Aunt live nearby also?

Mi madre esta muy bien. En las mañanas esta haciendo ejercicios físicos, también algunos ejercicios para trabajar la memoria. Mi tía, que vivía cerca, dejo el cuerpo el año pasado.

How old are your students?

tienen 11 años

What are you teaching them?

Enseño todos los cursos. Matemáticas, lenguaje, personal social, ciencia y tecnología, música, manualidades, ingles, etc.

Of course, you are teaching them what is life, by your attitude, no?

Si. Muy difícil, porque basicamente enseñamos con el ejemplo. La relación del ser humano con la naturaleza, a través de los cursos que damos. Descatar al ser humano como un ser en devenir.

Can you describe a couple of them?

Hay un niño que es como yo cuando estaba en el colegio: muy inteligente, muy hábil, pero muy distraído, muy hablador y muy gracioso. Tengo otra niña que le encanta leer, todos los días lee mucho porque quiere saber muchas cosas y quiere ser presidente de la república y cambiar el mundo.

Muchas gracias por darnos este grandioso servicio. su misericordia es increíble.

I heard that in Japan SP said that the people (not necessarily devotees) could eat fish, because there was so little land to grow food, but he asked them to PLEASE not kill the cows! ??

Super success in the spiritual life of your family. Make this the last one. Krsna is waiting!!!

Dear Hanumat Presaka swami.

Please accept my humble obeisances 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Hoping you are well and Happy

I am Baladeva das from Argentina.

With the Global Communications team we are looking for scholastics who appreciate Srila Prabhupada in order to plan conferences around the world (especially in our case in South America) to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Srila Prabhupada's appearance next year.. That is why I am in contact with you for any suggestions you have. 

It would even be important to know if there are any academic women who can give a speech about it. Sure it's better, but it's not limited to her being from South America.

Thank you very much Maharaja a joy for me, to be in contact with you.

P.S. Did you finish writing the book on Indian architecture with that phd who met you at Radha Govinda temple in Vrindaban?

HpS/ASA (Anjana Suta Academy)

So very nice to hear from you! We want to get your association many times, so this is very nice. We have done a lot of academic preaching is Hispanomerica. Check with Abhirama Thakura Das in Peru, Arjuna and Jagat guru Das in Santiago and Ambarissa Das and Rati-manjair Devi Das (Wife of Temple President) in BsAs.

O.K.?

We got an academic Journal: http://www.jayarama.us/archives/solaris2020.pdf

Of course, many of these scholars are just coming in contact with Srila Prabhupada so we would have to explain your goals to them gradually.

Thank you!

We were born into a Christian family and our Mother taught us to recite The Lord's Prayer each night before going to sleep.

Then our neighbor's dog died when we were about four years old, and we were very depressed because we realized that we were little and could die just like Suzy, the neighbor's dog. We became nauseous and could not each much. We didn't discuss it with our parents because we knew they could not help, but then we began to think very seriously about the prayers we were reciting nightly and decided that the authorities who believed in Jesus must have a reasonable understanding of him, so we decided he could save us from death.

Other experiences happened but when we came in contact with Srila Prabhupada and Gaudiya Vaisnavism we were very attracted but we were wondering about seemingly replacing Christ with someone elese.

Then we heard Srila Prabhupada speaking while he was in Berkeley Temple in 1975, and he said with such respect, depth and practical realization, that Lord Jesus Christ had done such wonderful preaching work in the West, and then we were conviced that we had never met a better Chiristian than Srila Prabhupada, and if we really wanted to serve Christ then Srila Prabhupada was the best via media for that.

Hello, Hare Krishna,

We are the 'Anjana Suta Academy' [www.JayaRama.US].

We want to buy a lot of your fruit leathers but...

. . . will they fit into envelopes for mailing ie. are they less that 1/4" thick?

How much does each flat packet weigh?  We tried 'Stretch Island Fruit Leathers'. They were pretty good, 1/2oz. but seems we might be able to work with you-all a little better. 

ASA is about 400-direct members, but the broader Hare Krsna community, ISKCON, is about 1-million.
