All Glories to Srila Prabhupada¡ 

All Glories to you¡ 

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Manjari Devi Dasi. I am 17 years old. I am daughter Hari Bhakti Das Prabhu and Raga-ramjita Devi Dasi daugther. Nowadays, by Krsna´s mercy I am living in Mexico city Radha Madhan Gopal ISKCON temple. Fortunately I am doing different services in kitchen, garlands and sankirtana.

ASA - Well, let us reciprocate. We are Tom Brown and Buck White. We are partial incarnations of Monkey and Piggsy from "Journey to the West". We are kind of eternal ideas in the minds of the gods so we can't say when we were born. We belong to 'Anjana Suta Academy' now. Hari Bolo! AGTSP!

I am asking for a little bit of your mercy Maharaj, so I can take shelter on Your Lotus Feet.  

My humble and respectful obeisances. 

Jaya Srila Prabhupada¡¡ 

Jaya Maharaj¡¡ 

Your aspiring servant Manjari devi dasi.

Monkey/Piggy - HpSwami's actual form is still covered by several layers of Maya, I guess Srila Prahbupada's lotus feet are his lotus feet by the the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and .000001 percent effort by HpS. What can we do for you? Is it in the formality of initiation? Don't seem like it! You already got a spiritual name!!! Answer specific question? Whatever relationships we develop my questions and answers,,, hearing and chanting,,, are eternal.

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP,

The example of Logos in 9th Sept 2020 and slight talk hit us some where.

We could relate to example of Girl, dad and following ISKCON. You might be humble enough that you would like to use you in service of Srila Prabhupada. But the fact is we are sticking to ISKCON and Srila Prabhupada some how due to you only.

In India we seem to be beast, who can not connect to common people and etiquette. We are of not use to temple management except some physical service. We dont have the ability to see every thing as part of Krsna always (some times we do exhibit).

In search of meaning we have waited long, but after knowing the purpose of soul life, we some times fight blame (effort without patience).

Our wife and kid are not staying with us, we some how liking this arrangement, not much fight. Life is not that bad (self-fish) but at least not causing trouble to others.

We know you will leave this earth in some time, we dont know what we would do when you are gone.

HpS - Neither do I. We had a life before this one. How much do we remember, but we think that certain broad tendencys are there. So we work for our future ambience, not for specific details. Eg. next life take birth in family of devotees! Good op for ed from early age and continuous. Become great heros!

we also know we need to spend more years in human life to become more qualified. We will try to pass years by reading your letters, lectures etc.

Anyways can you give us some work we can dot for NIOS, LTE, MOE. Our current state is not that encouraging, but we have time on our disposition. we can invest that for you.

horse waiting to be briddled and rided

HpS - We will put your request before the Supreme Absolute Undifferentiated Commando of ASA and see what they say. I think they want some one for a suicide mission behind enemy lines to place time bombs and then try to escape.

Hare Krishna Maharaja

Por favor, acepte mis humildes reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabupada!

Todas las glorias a usted!

Soy Bhakta Damián, de Traslasierra, Córdoba, Argentina.

¿Cómo está? Me alegra que salió bien su prueba por el virus!

Yo bien, por la gracia de Krishna…

Quería contarle que hoy (9/9/2020) pude sentir un poquito (creo que del corazón y no una invención de mi mente), el océano ilimitado de misericordia que significa el maestro espiritual… Un sentimiento muy lindo. Se sintió muy bien...

Y me preguntaba… ¿Siempre es consciente el maestro espiritual cuando derrama su misericordia?

Gracias por sus clases y por su asociación por GTM!

Sadhana:

Cumpliendo las 16 rondas desde 1/1/2020. Siguiendo los 4 principios ok. Queriendo trascender los pensamientos sexuales burdos y sutiles. Queriendo ser mas puro algún día!!!

Asociarse con usted es purificatorio. Gracias, gracias.

No pudiendo salir mucho a sankirtan, Argentina cuarentena estricta. Donde vivo hay poca gente, se necesita el turismo. Las personas que vienen de afuera (ciudades) son los que más se llevan los libros.

Estoy al tanto que el BBT de latinoamérica está planificando implementar distribución de libros de SP por internet. Pero salir a la calle con los libros de SP en la mano y hablar con la gente, es una aventura tan hermosa que es difícil de reemplazar.

¿Cómo ser un sankirtanero verdaderamente valiente?

El otro día leía acerca de Ananta Shanti Prabhu, el primer discípulo de Srila Prabhupada en Rusia… Las austeridades que realizó para propagar la conciencia de Krishna. Un devoto muy avanzado y entregado…

¿cómo dejar de sentir temor y poder servir a Krishna y a la misión de Srila Prabhupada de manera decidida, como lo hace usted y como lo hizo este devoto?

Gracias por todo maharaja.

Reverencias a sus pies.

Siempre esperando poder alguna vez servirlo.

Lo saludo afectuosamente.

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabupada!

All glories to you!

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP!!!! Thank you for your letter!

I am Bhakta Damián, from Traslasierra, Córdoba, Argentina.

How is it going? I'm glad your virus test went well!

Well, by the grace of Krishna ...

I wanted to tell you that today (9/9/2020) I could feel a little bit (I think from the heart and not an invention of my mind), the limitless ocean of mercy that the spiritual master means… A very beautiful feeling. It felt really good ...

HpS - AgtSP!!!!

And I was wondering ... Is the spiritual master always aware when he pours out his mercy?

HpS - No.

Thank you for your classes and for your association with GTM!

Sadhana:

Completing the 16 rounds from 1/1/2020. Following the 4 principles ok. Wanting to transcend gross and subtle sexual thoughts. Wanting to be more pure one day !!!

ASA - Because of the birth we have taken we will have gross and subtle sexual thoughts our whole life, but we will be able to stay above them.

Associating with you is purifying. Thanks thanks.

Not being able to go out to sankirtan much, Argentina strict quarantine. Where I live there are few people, tourism is needed. People who come from abroad (cities) are the ones who take the books the most.

I am aware that the Latin American BBT is planning to implement SP book distribution over the internet. But going outside with SP books in hand and talking to people is such a beautiful adventure that it is difficult to replace.

ASA --- Gopis waited for Krsna to return!

How to be a truly brave Sankirtanero?

ASA - ALl you can do is try your best.

The other day I was reading about Ananta Shanti Prabhu, Srila Prabhupada's first disciple in Russia… The austerities he performed to spread Krishna consciousness. A very advanced and dedicated devotee ...

How can you stop feeling fear and be able to serve Krishna and Srila Prabhupada's mission in a determined way, as you do and as this devotee did?

ASA - Same answer as above, no?

Thanks for everything maharaja.

Salutations at your feet.

Always hoping to be able to serve you sometime.

I greet you warmly.

Bhakta Damián de Traslasierra, Córdoba

HpS - Krsna teaching us to be more personal. Get to know our neighbors and preach to them at their level!!!

Try writing poetry!

All glories to Srila Pabhupada

Excuse me for not connecting to all the programs, we have been with several changes, the country was an hour early and the deities returned to the temple on September 4, the same day I was my birthday.

HpS-ASA --- Hare Krsna!

Also, due to the curfew in the country, now the program starts at 5.30 AM. I have as a fixed service in the temple cooking to the deity, in addition to other online services such as the magazine. I feel loved and appreciated by the devotees, that reassures me, knowing that I have people who support me.

ASA - Like the warm salty hands of the waves of the deep foaming ocean!

Thanks to his mercy I have been able to maintain my sadhana of getting up at 2.00 and it has been like a medicine for my life, I don't need to take a nap if I fall asleep early (20.30). I calmly sing my rounds and I can better organize my life, everything has become cleaner, clearer and more orderly.

HpS - Soon you will be ready to join Rommel in the Africa Corp!

I am more sure of myself and with greater peace of mind. As for reading, he began to take what he said in a class; for certain times people it is good to read briefly several times a day and it works. Sometimes it is a bit difficult because of the services, but it is better for my limited capacity. I have some intellectuality, but also a lot of passion to create and organize things, I like that.

ASA - New songs, new drama, for the thousand dancing eyes that look along the path as Krsna and his friends and cows return in the evening light!

Yesterday I did the 8th reading of the birth chart, it's quite a lot, I know, I think the 9th will be done by me, I would like to study astrology, Ayurveda, etc., to be a counselor and guide people.

He told me that my nature is quite brahminical, especially in the communication aspect, everything that has to do with the use of the voice and the intellect. It was Daru Krishna prabhu who did the reading and I was impressed by his work. So, broadly speaking, I can already understand that my nature can be turned on the one hand in the artistic and commercial area (buying and selling) and on the other hand being a counselor, advisor, and perhaps specializing in being a leadership coach.

ASA - ... and plucking fruits in the forest of Vaja with Subal.

From time to time I think a lot about traveling. The plan was to travel at the end of this year. I don't know what will happen and I await your instruction for it. On the one hand, it would be good to stay and help in the temple for a while longer. The target locations are Spain, India and the United States. In Spain I would come to Vrajamandala with Yadunandana Swami, we have already been talking for more than a year about my visit there. Prabhu Amara made contact with Kamala Lochana prabhu from India, he agreed to teach me about administration. He is co-chair in the Miraroad India Temple. He said that I can accompany him to preach in India and there teach me about administration and devotional service. On the other hand, I would like to be in the United States and visit Pyari Mohan das, I have not been able to have an answer to my proposal to stay serving in his yatra and learn about administration with him in Connecticus (maybe he will teach me a magic trick). What do you suggest I do? I was thinking of traveling to Spain first, then India and finally the United States, but I know that you would like me to travel to the United States, so if you want I can go there first, as you wish. Or do you want me to travel to another place? I know I am getting ahead of myself, with the pandemic the whole plan changed.

I wish you can guide me.

My obeisances Gurudeva Thank you for everything you give us daily.

HpS - ASA - Yes, does seem to be ahead of ourselves. Now there can be no plan of travel beyond our villages. Start to preach in the neighborhood. Start a periodical for the neighbors.

Todas las glorias a Srila Pabhupada

Disculpe por no conectarme a todos los programas, hemos estado con varios cambios, se adelantó una hora en el país y las deidades volvieron al templo el 4 de septiembre, el mismo día en que estuve de cumpleaños. Además, debido al toque de queda en el país, ahora el programa comienza a las 5.30 AM. Tengo como servicio fijo en el templo el cocinar a la deidad, además de otros servicios online como la revista. Me siento querido y apreciado por los devotos, eso me tranquiliza, saber que tengo personas que me apoyan. 

Gracias a su misericordia he podido mantener mi sadhana de levantarme a las 2.00 y ha sido como una medicina para mi vida, no necesito tomar siesta si me duermo temprano (20.30). Canto tranquilamente mis rondas y puedo organizar mejor mi vida, todo se ha vuelto más limpio, claro y ordenado. Estoy más seguro de mi mismo y con mayor paz mental. En cuanto a la lectura comencé a tomar lo que dijo en una clase; para ciertas personas es bueno leer en momentos breves varias veces al día y funciona. Aveces es un poco difícil por los servicios, pero es mejor para mi limitada capacidad. Tengo algo de intelectualidad, pero también bastante pasión para crear y organizar cosas, eso me gusta. 

Ayer me hice las 8va lectura de la carta astral, es bastante, lo se, creo que la 9na la haré yo, me gustaría estudiar astrología, ayurveda, etc, para ser consejero y orientar a las personas. Él me dijo que mi naturaleza es bastante brahminica, sobre todo en el aspecto de comunicación, todo lo que tiene que ver con el uso de la voz y el intelecto. Fue Daru Krishna prabhu quién hizo la lectura y me impresionó su trabajo. 

Entonces a grandes razgos ya puedo entender que mi naturaleza puedo volcarla por un lado en el area artística y comercial (compra y venta) y por otro lado ser un orientador, consejero, y talvez especializarme en ser coach de liderazgo. 

De vez en cuando pienso bastante en viajar. El plan era viajar a fin de este año. No sé que va a pasar y espero su instrucción para ello. Por un lado sería bueno quedarse a ayudar en el templo un tiempo más. Los lugares en mira son España, India y Estados Unidos. En España llegaría a Vrajamandala con Yadunandana Swami, ya hemos estado hablando hace más de un año sobre mi visita allí. Prabhu Amara hizo un contacto con Kamala Lochana prabhu de India, él accedió a enseñarme sobre administración. Él es copresidente en el templo de Miraroad, India. Él dijo que puedo acompañarlo a predicar por India y allí enseñarme sobre administración y servicio devocional. Por otro lado me gustaría estar en Estados Unidos y visitar a Pyari Mohan das, no he podido tener respuesta de mi propuesta a quedarme sirviendo en su yatra y aprender sobre administración con él en Connecticus (tal vez me enseñe algún truco de magia). ¿Qué sugiere que haga? Pensaba viajar a España primero, luego India y al final EEUU, pero se que a usted le gustaría que viajara a Estados Unidos, así que si usted quiere puedo ir primero allá, cómo usted desee ¿O quiere que viaje a otro lugar? Sé que me estoy adelantando, con lo de la pandemia todo el plan cambió. Deseo me pueda orientar. 

Mis reverencias Gurudeva

Gracias por todo lo que nos entrega a diario.

HK pamho Jay Gurudeva!!! muchas gracias por su respuesta, sólo hago de mensajera, ese es el deseo de madre Nitya Kinkari con la venia de Prabhu Karuna, autoridades del Yatra de Chosica. En Perú según mandato presidencial aún no está permitido el ingreso de ciudadanos a las iglesias. El templo de Chosica está cerca a la comisaria. Sólo vamos los que atendemos a las deidades y se les atiende justo en mangala. Y los adultos mayores, público en riesgo, con más razón no pueden ingresar, todos los programas son on line. Como Ud. ya tiene un programa de rondas, las autoridades de Chosica desean intensificar el canto y el sadhana en los seguidores on line. Sólo por el auspicioso mes de Purusottama. Y sólo se pasará mangala y canto, el chat si es privado sólo para los seguidores de Gotomeeting. Este programa se trasmitiría por el Facebook de Chosica. Los colaboradores de Chosica verán lo de la trasmisión, sólo falta su aprobación. En estos días se anuncian los programas del Mes. Por favor denos su misericordia.

HK pamho Jay Gurudeva !!! Thank you very much for your answer, I am only acting as a messenger, that is the wish of mother Nitya Kinkari with the permission of Prabhu Karuna, authorities of the Yatra of Chosica. In Peru, according to presidential mandate, citizens are not yet allowed into churches. The Chosica temple is close to the police station. We only go to those who attend to the deities and they are treated right in mangala. And older adults, public at risk, even more so cannot enter, all programs are online. As you already have a program of rounds, the Chosica authorities wish to intensify chanting and sadhana among the online followers. Just for the auspicious month of Purusottama. And only mangala and singing will be passed, the chat if it is private only for the followers of Gotomeeting. This program would be broadcast on Chosica's Facebook. Chosica collaborators will see about the transmission, they just need their approval. These days the programs of the Month are announced. Please give us your mercy.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Dear Guru Maharaja, 

Thank Srimad Prahlada Nrismha Prabhu, I can write here again. I don't know exactly the source of the problem and how he fixed, it was magic for me.

So, finally, we can share with you and devotees here some news.

First thing is that tomorrow they will have the final version of the official poster of the entire event, I mean, the whole month and for every table.

On the other hand, they request something very specific. They understand that the TED Talk-style of a conference of 20 minutes would be not too much favourable to you because of the language. Specifically, the time that the translation takes.

So, María Elvira Ríos propose that you give your presentation only in English, because, under her opinion, the level of the English understanding the people that will attend this online program is quite enough to get that you will say. No translator is needed in this case according to her. Mainly, she says that because they want to get much possible from you.

Before, reply to her I wanted to know What do you think about this proposal?

HpS Pienso que podemos platicar en español, no?

In that case, they request from you the entire written conference beforehand, actually, two days ahead of the event, so they can send it to everyone, and then, the people, that can't understand English take advantage of it anyways.  

The problem with this is they are used to have academic conferences = read the whole thing, sometimes even without pauses :D . She never hears you speak in public, so, probably she doesn't know that your presentation re much natural and not base in just a paper- 

Presentation Design

Finally, regarding the PPTX archive itself, considering the problem with the lack of PowerPoint software that you have now, I offer myself, with the help of a professional Graphic Designer (I live with one) to re-design your presentation to put visually attractive to this public, according to our capacity. We promise to put a lot of ourselves in to do it.

You just can send us the words or quotation that you have in every slide with your visual idea, and it would be enough. I will send you before to your approval. 

Last details

Next week, we will have a Zoom meeting (24 de Septiembre a las 9 am CLT) to reply questions to the speakers and other technical details of the organization, if you want to join.

The 21st September the official advertising campaign will start.

Thank you very much.
