Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias Gurudev 🙏

Como de costumbre me tomo más tiempo para volver a escribirle al blog 😅

Me encuentro bien de salud con mi familia, estuvimos desde Marzo en cuarentena y en Monterrey las últimas semanas se reabre la economía gracias a Krishna el Restaurante y hotel Hare Krishna que maneja mi esposo continua abiertos.

El tiempo en cuarentena me dió la oportunidad de organizar mejor mi tiempo continuo estudiando Bhakti Sastri online, mi sadhana continua bien 16 rondas y 4 principios. Ahora mis hijos están estudiando homeschool (primaria y kinder) y nos unimos a un programa de Sri dham Mayapur que reúne familias para aprender juntos en este mes de Purusottama.

Continuo haciendo servicio de diseño gráfico para la página Facebook de ASA México y también apoyo programas de educación con diseño de anuncios, hacer esto me a ayudado a tener asociación de devotos más centrados y con madurez.

Como la situación de este año cambió los festivales los hicimos en casa en familia y pienso que los hijos sin duda son parte de la vida espiritual mis hijos son diferentes en su carácter pero se unen juntos al Kirtan, cocinar, ofrecer, lectura, realizar Arati para las deidades y cuidar a Tulasi)

En nuestra finca(terreno) continuamos trabajando en familia ahora tenemos animales (gallo, gallina y 5 🐣

) quizá el próximo año en Abril volvemos a vivir en el campo.

Mi esposo Gadadhar y yo estamos leyendo juntos Prabhupada lilamrta y néctar de Prabhupada. Hace 3 años que cuido Tulasis este año mi esposo y yo decidimos sembrar nacieron 30 plantas de Tulasi algunas las entregamos a hogares de devotos y en nuestra casa cuido al rededor de 18 plantas de Tulasi.

Estoy pendiente de sus clases en español y sus actualizaciones entonces no queremos quitarle más su tiempo y gracias por leernos.

Su insignificante sirviente Anandamaya Devi Dasi.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my humble obeisances Gurudev 🙏

As usual I take more time to write to the Blog again 😅

I am in good health with my family, we have been in quarantine since March and in Monterrey the economy has reopened in recent weeks thanks to Krishna, the Hare Krishna Restaurant and hotel that my husband manages continues to be open.

The time in quarantine gave me the opportunity to better organize my continuous time studying Bhakti Sastri online, my sadhana continues well 16 rounds and 4 principles. Now my children are studying homeschool (primary and kindergarten) and we join a Sri dham Mayapur program that brings families together to learn together in this month of Purusottama.

ASA - !

I continue to do graphic design services for the ASA Mexico Facebook page and also support educational programs with ad design, doing this has helped me to have a more focused and mature devotee association.

As the situation this year changed, the festivals were held at home as a family and I think that children are undoubtedly part of the spiritual life, my children are different in character but they join together in Kirtan, cooking, offering, reading, performing Arati. for the deities and take care of Tulasi)

In our farm (land) we continue working as a family now we have animals (rooster, hen and 5 🐣) maybe next year in April we will live in the country again.

ASA - With two more families!

My husband Gadadhar and I are reading Prabhupada lilamrta and Prabhupada Nectar together. I have been taking care of Tulasis for 3 years, this year my husband and I decided to plant 30 Tulasi plants, some of which we gave to devotees' homes and in our house I took care of around 18 Tulasi plants.

I am aware of your classes in Spanish and your updates so we do not want to take your time and thank you for reading.

Your insignificant servant Anandamaya Devi Dasi.

HpS - In Hawaii, because of the weather, Tulasi grows bigger and bigger and bigger, over two meters tall and bigger than your wrist! How will she grow in the Monte Rey atmosphere. Expect miracles!!

More news! More news. News of your experiences with Japa. Keep a journal. Always focus on book distribution, in your own way!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada.

Espero que se encuentre bien, siempre refugiado y absorto en Su servicio a Sri Sri Radha Krsna y a Sri Nrsimhadeva.

Gurudev, respondiendo a Sus preguntas de mi carta anterior.

La escuela virtual "Atma Kula" es un proyecto en solitario. Recibo ayuda de Dhanistha dd con Ayurveda, Nityananda Prana das con meditación y homeschooling, y mi hermana en diseño (logo, afiches). Básicamente yo organizo, pero recibo aopoyo y consejo de ellos.

Quizá en el futuro pueda ser una escuela física y pueda servir de centro de prédica, si Usted me da Sus bendiciones. Quizá esto sean en varios años más (espero que no tantos).

Con respecto a Jagannatha Caran y entrenar a su sucesor. La administración por ahora está viendo lo más urgente: mantención de las deidades, mantención de los devotos residentes, deuda del templo, visitas de devotos (regulado, con medidas sanitarias), programas que van surgiendo. Cuando todo se normalice Jagannatha podrán entrenar a su sucesor automanifestado y autorefulgente 😊

Quiero contarle que madre Lila Shakti dd de Valparaíso, dejó su cuerpo hace 3 días. Fuimos con algunos devotos a cantar Hare Krsna en su entierro a pedido de la familia. A su velorio nadie fue 😥

Hablamos con su hijo mayor y sus nietos. Su hijo nos contó que ella tenía Alzheimer y que vivía en una asilo de ancianos. Allí adoraba a sus deidades, cantaba japa y leía las escrituras. Olvidó a todos menos a Krsna y se fue de éste mundo muy tranquila.

Una semana antes de dejar su cuerpo ella recordó a sus familiares.

Maritza, una amiga de madre Lila Shakti, asistía a sus programas en Valparaíso mientras estudiaba en la Universidad. Se autodenomina amiga de Krsna. Ella informó de todo a Prabhu Amara. Y estamos en contacto con ella.

La familia quedó muy feliz y agradecida por el canto.

Le dejo algunas fotos Guru Maharaja.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories go to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope you are well, always sheltered and absorbed in Your service to Sri Sri Radha Krsna and Sri Nrsimhadeva.

HpS - AgtSP!! paoho. We are just trying to live as civilized human beings most of the time. Yet, Srila Prabhupada keeps lifting us onto his sail boat headed to Goloka. Toot! Toot!

Gurudev, answering Your questions from my previous letter.

The virtual school "Atma Kula" is a solo project. I get help from Dhanistha dd with Ayurveda, Nityananda Prana das with meditation and homeschooling, and my sister with design (logo, posters). Basically I organize, but I get support and advice from them.

Perhaps in the future it can be a physical school and can serve as a preaching center, if You give me Your blessings. Maybe this will be in several more years (I hope not so many).

HpS - Hare Krsna!! Teach music and dance and drama also.

Regarding Jagannatha Caran and training his successor. The administration for now is seeing the most urgent: maintenance of deities, maintenance of resident devotees, temple debt, visits of devotees (regulated, with sanitary measures), programs that are emerging. When everything is normalized Jagannatha will be able to train his self-manifested and self-effulgent successor 😊

HpS - Our respects to him and tell him we would like to help as we can. Atreya rsi Das, Srila Prabhupada's "GBC for material affairs", big business man, told us that there are always opportunitys for making money. You just have to adjust to the changing market. Eg. resident devotees can start a radio station in the temple with daily dramas.

I want to tell you that mother Lila Shakti from Valparaíso left her body 3 days ago. We went with some devotees to chant Hare Krsna at their funeral at the request of the family. Nobody went to his wake 😥

HpS - Yes, we know. We joined was so nice. We miss her association but she is in paradise with Krsna, or Lord Caitanya or... 😃

We speak with her oldest son and her grandchildren. Her son told us that she had Alzheimer's and that she lived in a nursing home. There she worshiped her deities, chanted japa and read the scriptures. She forgot everyone except Krsna and left this world very calm.

A week before leaving her body, she remembered her relatives.

Maritza, a friend of mother Lila Shakti, attended her programs in Valparaíso while studying at the University. She calls herself a friend of Krsna. She reported everything to Prabhu Amara. And we are in contact with her.

HpS - Yes, I think I met Maritza several times. She got a PhD in music while she was living with Mataji, I think.

The family was very happy and grateful for the song.

I leave you some photos Guru Maharaja.

Your would-be servant

Priya Sakhi Devi Dasi

HpS - We need our own village where we can control epidemics and produce most of what we need locally and develop mystic powers and magic carpets.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja

PAMRR

TLGASP!

Guru Maharaja, de parte del equipo que organiza las clases, agradecen Su excelente disposición para dar la clase. Ahora tienen disponible el viernes 23 de octubre a las 19:00hrs Chile, para dar la clase. Como usted nos dijo que no podía dar la clase éste viernes 2 de octubre, el equipo se contactó con otro Guru para darla.

Disculpe por favor los malos entendidos.

Quedamos atentos a Su confirmación.

HpS - Si! 23 Octubre. Super. Tiempo organizar algo significativa!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva 🙏 Please, accept my humble obeisances!!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Gurudeva, as I told you this morning, Krsna Book is already on Vedabase.io.

HpS - ASA -- Yes, yes! We say it. We read from it. We are telling everyone! We feel that our life has been a success. Now we can rest! Thank you, everyone!

We were waiting for some missing paragraphs in Spanish from BBT. These paragraphs are missing at the beginning of chapter 51 and until we receive a reply Prahlada Nrsimha prabhu put KB on line yesterday . Also, we are waiting for agreement to correct some quotation marks that appear in opposite direction in Spanish version that we got from BBT.

So, edition at this time is not 100 % perfect yet, but we hope in next days we will be able to fix these issues.

HpS - Small things. but thank you for the news. There are mistakes still, as far as I know in the English version. Little things.

Sorry for the delay, Gurudeva, in putting KB in Spanish on line 🙏

I am struggling with my own lazyness, greediness and lustfulness that prevent me to serve you and to serve Srila Prabhupada better!! 🙏 🙏 🙏

HpS - Hare Krsna / Hare Rama. We have to all try to improve, no!!! If Srila Prabhupada told me that all my disciples are more advanced devotees than me, I could not deny it. I also have to fight lusty desires. Too many popsicles is also lusty desires.

I will inform you about improvements in KB edition.

Thank you very much for your causeless mercy!! 🙏

Your aspiring servant: Mitravinda dd.

PD: I am adding some pictures of Krishna's pastimes, I hope you like them 🙏

ASA - !!! Be sure and tell Christina, Anna, Oscar your Brothers about this!!

Hare Krishna Guru maharaj,

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Durante el periodo de cuarentena en Perú comencé un proyecto de narrar el Srimad Bhagavatam en 33 espisodios y el Sri caitanya Caritamrita en 27 episodios. Estoy muy feliz de cumplir con esta meta.

HpS - No, hay otro de otro devotos? Es super. Si, hay, no problema, podemos tener 108-leyendas de SB y CC.

Muchas gracias Guru Maharaj por permitirme estar en el grupo de Bhaktivaibhava que usted dirigía, pues gracias a eso tuve la fortuna de escuchar sus concejos y comentarios sobre métodos de estudios y comentarios especiales del Srimad Bhagavatam.

Ya estoy compartiendo mi trabajo con los devotos y están disponibles en estos links:

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Jagat Pavitram das

HpS - Su trabajo? Aun trabajando en un trabajo secular? IBM. HP...?

Hare Krishna,

Respected Guru Maharaja,

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna! Prabhu! !! [It is great honor to be addressed as 'Guru Maharaja' by someone who has taken such nice birth as your good self, and then served Srila Prabhupada's mission with such quality, but maybe better just "Maharaja". O.K.? We hope to be your servants for long time and need your advice. 😎)

Please accept my humble obeiscances.

Thank you for taking out time to reply.

In last letter had asked to understand my relation with Srila Prabhupada, then have dealings with ISKCON devotees and at third level dealing with institution.

As far as I understand, Srila Prabhupada is most important Shiksha guru for all the ISKCON devotees for all the generations to come. All leaders and managers of ISKCON must follow in line with his desires and instructions, as found through his books or lectures etc.

HpS - Also, from his disciples, disciples, disciples as we can properly evaluate their connection with him?

In my own little practice of Krishna Consciousness, I have felt that Srila Prabhupada is offering his guidance through his books. Also he expresses his vision, mission, desires etc. in books and lectures. Sometimes, when I was little disturbed, I got strength from his books. For me, I take his books as my personal association with Srila Prabhupada. Of course, he offers his association through medium of other devotees as well.

HpS - For me Jayananda Das, B. S, Damodara Swami and Hansadutta Swami were very prominent.

Next comes- dealing with ISKCON devotees. You had asked me, who are my friends? I have many ISKCON devotee friends.

Kumar Lila Pr (Haldia Youth Preacher), Mukund Chaitanya Prabhu (Remuna TP), Anant Bhagwan Pr, Akshay Hari Pr, Sri Govinda Ghosh Pr, Balaram Acharya Pr, Sundar Nimai Pr, Anant Gaur Sundar Prabhu, Braj Kumar Pr, Radhavallabh Pr, Kanai Natashala Pr, Prem Chaitanya Pr, Haladhar Nitai Pr, Maharas Pr, Sri Nrisimha Pr, Sri Ram Raghav Pr, .... to name a few.

HpS - Nectar!!

At third level you had asked to deal with institution. This is where I got in trouble. I thought to start some preaching program, develop it to some extent in 2-3 years and then think of connecting to ISKCON officially at reasonable terms and conditions. Please frankly reply me, if you feel anywhere I am going wrong.

Currently I am at my home from past 1 week. I was looking for a rented place in Darbhanga (Mithila ) for starting my preaching. Search is still on but it's difficult. Reasons - Corona fear, me being in saffron robe, security, ...

I am not sure if I would be able to get any place.

My regular sadhana is going on.

Your aspiring servant

Purushottam Keshav Das

HpS - It is best to stay within the institution established by our Spiritual Master and work to fight the problems. It will be a continuous fight, but Radharani is ready to help, no? What about someone like Bhakta-raghava Swami and his project? Is there enough variety in India to find someone to work with?

In the end if everyone in ISKCON has gone mad, then we must carry on the institution, Srila Prabhupada's mission, by our own determination, but so far I see many people who are just as sincere as I am. They have different contaminations than I do, but within bounds, and most likely not even as bad as mine.

You can always join Bh. Tom Brown and Buck White in ASA!
