Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO AGTSP!

All glories to your sankirtana!

All glories ASA team!

By Srila Prabhupada's mercy, we can have the association of the wonderful sankirtana of ASA Team, Krsna allow us to continue associating with this team.

Thank you very much by answer my previos letter.

Please, I have 2 question more about SBG class of tuesday ( in a previos of a previos letter I asked these questions but i do not writed well key word) :

HpS - ASA -- I think you did things fine, but we were just slow in ansering.

1.- What topics do you suggest for the participation of the devotees?

You gave topics about the great devotees (vaisnavis) of Krishna, could we continuos with this themes?

ASA - We answered. Hope it was O.K.

As a contribution, I give these proposals:

1. SBG canto 1 chapter 7 Drona son punished.

2.SBG canto 1 chapter 8 Prayers of Queen Kunti and Pariksit saved

3 Teachings of The Queen Kunti 26 textos (the book) (It seems to me hear from you, mentioned that in the purport of this book is general and it do not refer directly to the verse, is it?

2.- Can English-speaking devotees take up these themes or will they develop other theme?

Please, give me your guide. I am trying to help to my spiritual cousins sisters.

Sri Nrsimhadeva protect you

with respect and apreciaton

Note: Abhinanda d after quarantine has started working, he doing home and office furniture.

HpS - Yes, answer in previous letter. Our slowness.

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO AGTSP!

All glories to your sankirtana!

I hope team ASA (Monkey,Piggy, Tom Brown) are very good.

I request you please, Give me your opinion on the following:

I.- Trying to understand and follow the line of subjects that you gaved (about vaisnavis), I think that this topics could be exposed in the next class of tuesday:

1.- Prayers of the Queen Kunti and Pariksit saved. SBG 1 chapter 8

2..-The Son of Drona punished. SBG chapter 7

3.- Teachings of Queen Kunti. (have 26 textos)

These chapters are very extensive and would be divided into several sections.

Is good this topics? or What topics do you think is most appropriate?, please give me your opinion.

HpS - AGTSP these are nice. I think an index of "Stri dharma" in the first two cantos would be a wonderful contribution. Some of Kunti Rani's prayers talk about or show Stri dharma, but others talk about other wonderful topics.

II.-Can english-speaking devotees be included in these rol of themes or will they develop other themes?

HpS - I don't know? Let us see if they respond. It takes time to build a team. Maybe a transcendent team!

THank very much for your mercy, Sri Nrsimhadeva protect you

Whit very affection and gratitude

HpS - ASA ----- Thank you!! Everyone. We hope your daughters are growing up to do wonderful things for society.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias a Srila Prabhupada y a Usted.

Gurudeva usted me hizo unas preguntas en la carta anterior, a lo cual paso a responder:

HpS - This is a challenge from Krsna, no? How to preach to our neighbors. It is different than with meeting people for a short time. Aim is book distribution but now is different way, no? One book deeply to one person rathe than 50-books quickly to 50-people.

Si es un desafio, claro no es imposible.

Acá tienen mucho apego a su cultura pero ese apego puede cambiar.

Pienso que por misericordia de Sri Caitanya y Sri Nityananda y de Srila Prabhupada podran comprender este conocimiento trascendental.

Bueno solo me considero un mensajero o al menos trato de serlo...

Quizá se vuelvan devotos del prasadhan o amigos de Krsna o devotos...no lo se...pero siempre esta la misericordia de los libros de Srila Prabhupada....😊

Quizá vuelva al sankirtan viajero o quizá me quede por aquí en sankirtan local con los bio huertos...no lo se....pero lo que si se es que tenemos que hablar siempre de Krsna a todos!!!

HpS - Super. To be an Acharya you must know how to preach with all modes, no?

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada es el "El Acarya" 🙏🙏🙏.....yo solo aspiro a conprender como ser sirviente del sirviente...😊

HpS - What is the content of Maharaja's classes?

Lo que pude apreciar es que Maharaja Yadunandana Swami hace sus clases muy tecnicas, dinámicas con devotos presentes y devotos online, también ensayos de cada tema con casos personales y practicos.

Por ejemplo del estudio del Upadesamrta lo dividio en 4 secciones:

1._ Versos del 1 al 3 (principios básicos, 6 impulsos, 6 actividades desfavorables y 6 actividades favorables).

2._ Versos del 4 al 6 (Como relacionarse con los devotos y 6 actividades que los devotos conparteb segun su nivel de avance que tengan. Rupa Gosvami explica como evitar ver a los devotos con ojos materiales).

3._Versos del 7 al 8 (La esencia de la Instrucción. Escuchar, cantar y recordar a Krsna).

4._Versos del 9 al 11 (Las Glorias del Radha Kunda. Descripción de los lugares sagrados de Vrndavana. Radha Kunda el lugar más excelso).

HPS - ASA - !!!! Do you have animals???

Bueno tenemos 2 animales, un perro sin pelo (su raza es así), se llama Kirtan y un gato, se llama Suki (Paz) pero es todo lo contrario un gato salvaje.

HpS - [[Suki es feliz, no? No paz]]

Bueno hace poco me hice una carta astrologíca y lo único que me queda es hacer servicio devocional.

Bueno Guru Maharaja me despido, muchas gracias por todo y por las preguntas, que Nrsimha lo proteja siempre.

Hare Krsna.

[[[HpS - Gracias. No es que tiene que cambiar su cutura, no? Tiene que profundizar. Es un hecho que en las apocas antierior, pienso en Peru tambien, era una secta de Vasudeva y Sankirsana. (Krsna Y Balarama in Dvaraka). Sola mente esperamos animar la gente en sus raizes mas buenos originales. ]]

Hare Krishna Dearest Devotees,

ISKCON 50 Celebrations at ISKCON Houston bring back some special, nectarian memories.

We had the causeless mercy and good fortune of hosting my beloved Guru Maharaj, H. H. Bhakti Caru Swami, at our humble abode during His stay.

Inconceivably, the mercy kept increasing. This was the first opportunity we had to serve both H. H. Hanumat Presaka Maharaj and my Guru Maharaj, for lunch together ...  a desire fulfilled after fifteen years.

Sept 11 2015…

Sweet reciprocation between two Godbrothers: Bear Hugs… Honoring Prasad ...Sweet conversation... Karate lesson…

Without further ado, I will let the pictures below tell the stories …

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja,

I hope ASA team are very good.

HpS - ASA - No meat, no fish, no eggs! AgtSP!!!!! paoho....

Please excuse the queries I make, they are technical, however I have no one else to consult.

Uncle Gismo - We shall tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help us God.

Consult[ation]s:

1.-August tuesday 11 is Janmastami and Tuesday 25 is Radhastami , this days classes are for English-speaking devotees. I don't know what topics they will give those days; however only for those days the class could be done with translation (bilingual)?

UG - Sounds fine to us. Any readers have any objection?

2.-Regarding the KDPC keyword I just have to write in the title KDPC or KDPC: keyword?

UG - Just the "keyword' by it self will be enough to draw the attention of our sub-human mail clerks.

Note: I sent a letter to the blog on Monday 20 but with the keyword of the previous fortnight: Govinda-Ji and I did not put KDPC, I thought that the keyword was sufficient, that's why it is my query.

UG - Ah!

3.-You are right there are no educational projects as a priority in GBC administration, according to their page their priority is in the development of temples, teamwork and training of administrative personnel, Maybe this is urgent for them. I think of the different religious orders of the Catholic Church where according to their character and priority to preach in different ways. Some orders are more contemplative, others are more social and others of study and projects like the Jesuits or expansive preaching like the Franciscans. I see here a type of Varna (division of labor). I think perhaps ISKCON could organize itself in this way or take elements of this type of organization. What do you think?

UG - One GBC Secretary, Guru, Sannyasi, nice person, told me that in conclusion it seemed to him that ISKCON was like a lose collection of Guru cults. So there is a lot management technique, focus on education in large Guru zones sometimes, but no effort to develop it in the larger society the same way. I think there is some truth in that. It may be the best we can do now. Personally I try to develop my perspective on eduation in ISKCON and then connect with others as I can. It is a big society and I don't think I can understand all of it!!!

And your good self?

NOte: Before day 30 , I will send my questions about Canto 2 chapter 2. Sorry for the delay, I am organizing to be more effective.

HpS - Ahhhh. Thank you!!!!!!

With appreciation and respect.

UG, TB, BW, HpS - Thank you!!! Does Abhimanyu Das work from home? What is he doing???

Please accept our humble obeisances

• On the other hand, I make a request on behalf of Guru Mangala prabhu. The Ecuador BS group (63 devotees) has finished the Isopanisad study and would like to know if you kindly can give us a class on Isopanisad and on the importance of reading Srila Prabhupada's books. I could make most extensive the call to the rest of the BS students in Peru and Bolivia (100 more). Guru Mangala prabhu suggests Sunday August 9 at 8 or 9 am. (Tennessee time) via Zoom. I hope you agree, it would be very encouraging for Merconorte BS students to have your concepts and your wonderful association.

I will look forward for your response

Your servant
