Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las glorias a usted!

Ante todo espero haya tenido muy feliz vyasa puja y se encuentre muy bien de salud.

Sigo con el canto de las 16 rondas diarias, los 4 principios, lectura y adoración de nuestras deidades en casa.

Quería contarle que finalmente hace dos meses tomamos la decisión de mudarnos cerca de la finca de Nueva Vrajamandala. Vivimos en Brihuega, el pueblo que está a 5 minutos de la finca, y estamos llevando a dos de nuestras 3 niñas al gurukula, Vaisnavi de 6 años y Pritimayi de 4 años, Visnupriya tiene 1 año. Estamos muy contentos con el cambio y con la asociación de todos los devotos. Hay muchas familias viviendo en la finca, 10 niños en el gurukula y hay un ambiente general muy lindo, de mucha generosidad entre todas las familias. Ahora me encuentro trabajando en la ciudad más cercana, en sector logística de una cadena de supermercados, es un trabajo que me ocupa prácticamente todo el día, por lo cual podemos ir solo los fines de semana al darshan de Radha Govinda Candra, pienso que para mediados de febrero podre dejarlo y buscar algo de pocas horas.

Nos encontramos también en el proceso de reformar la casa en la que estamos para empezar a invitar personas del pueblo y junto a otros devotos realizar clases, kirtan y prasadam, pedimos sus bendiciones.

Por el momento esas son las noticias gurú maharaja. Orando siempre por su misericordia, su sirviente Gadadhara Gosai Das y familia.hare krishna!!!!

Please accept my respectful obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to you!

First of all, I hope you have had a very happy vyasa puja and are in very good health.

I continue with the chanting of the 16 daily rounds, the 4 principles, reading and worship of our deities at home.

I wanted to tell you that we finally made the decision two months ago to move close to the Nueva Vrajamandala farm.

We live in Brihuega, the town that is 5 minutes from the farm, and we are taking two of our 3 girls to the gurukula, 6-year-old Vaisnavi and 4-year-old Pritimayi, Visnupriya is 1 year old.

We are very happy with the change and with the association of all the devotees. There are many families living in the farm, 10 children in the gurukula and there is a very nice general atmosphere, of great generosity among all the families.

Now I am working in the nearest city, in the logistics sector of a supermarket chain, it is a job that occupies me practically all day, so we can only go to Radha Govinda Candra's darshan on weekends, I think that for mid-February I can leave it and look for something in a few hours.

We are also in the process of renovating the house we are in to start inviting people from the town and together with other devotees to hold classes, kirtan and prasadam, we ask for their blessings.

At the moment that is the news guru maharaja. Always praying for his mercy, his servant Gadadhara Gosai Das and family.hare krishna !!!!

HpS - Thank you so much. Respects to all the family and farm and The Yadu Swami. Please send more news as things develop!!

Hare Krsna.

Paoho

Yahoo Groups died. Still the Kapi Dhvaja just went up at http://www.jayarama.us/news.htm

Please help us get a new distribution list service. Maybe Mail Chimp.

We are still here at 902 Hilcrest. We like the neighborhood.

Our health is delicate (at 73-years old that is obvious) but some very good work.

We are preparing for the Mayapura SB seminars next few weeks.

Thank you,

Hare Krsna.

HpS , BW , TB et al.

Hare Krsna....

..............Paoho.... HpS is peacefully finishing the day with an empty gas tank again. He joined the Mayapura Institute Bh. Vedanta class by Bh. Caitanya Swami at 4.30AM and stayed until it finished at 7AM as preparation for his classes next week.

1-hour going for walking with NgD.

Reading and editing for SB 9.5 for MI class.

. . . . Letter to RRD and his two sons.

....... House keeping. (Below freezing until 9AM.)

Answer important letter from Dr. Samaresh.

Host meeting of Abhirama, Miguel Polo, and Abhiseka for NIOS.

Tried to answer Vaisnava Crecer letter from Mexico ... but... now he has to glide the rest of the day, pushed by the Divine Wind.

Thank you.

Looked for URGENT letters in the Blog.

16-rounds a day and Krsna can link all of our little work into one

URUKRAMA

Big Work.

Cold and sharp rain sprinkles outside.

NgD canceled our marching orders.

We can't do any more computer work.

We want to but it will cause permanent damage to our eyes.

Yet we can chant after the fashion of the YouTube link for Prabhupada Singing that we Tweeted.

"Bolo Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare.

Bolo Rama Rama, Hare Hare"

So

nice.

Dance of the undead donkeys!

Lord Nrshma deva can bash anybody's head with His club. (Especially ours).

So beautiful is Vrndavana, where Krsna and the Go, Gopi, Gopa play. They live in a great forest and forget any other way.

There is one road passing in and going on out, from the other worlds.

Sometimes some one comes down it with an ox cart, but they are just absorbed in their work in their little village way.

It is all so important, which girl is wearing Krsna's garland remnant!

Life and Death.

😉

Help them live!

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.

MI, NIOS, all seem to be offering options to the modern world at large. We can row our little boat but only Sri Krsna and the Assembled Devotees can pull a great big barge.

Tried to answer the Blog letters in terms of priority. A lot there!!

Please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope this letter finds you in good health.

I made the experiment to chant a fixed number of rounds. Also, I read some literature about its benefits, but to be honest, I feel that something is missing. I know that for a guaranteed progress, there must be a 'combo': mangala aratik, kirtan, SB, prasadam... May be those are the missing aspects 🤔

Due to my studies at university, I've acquired critical and analytical thinking, so for me it's hard to follow something without arguments or recognizing its multiple perspectives. Last year was a shock in the spiritual dimension. Now, for this 2021, I'd like to continue digging into my being, recognizing how I'm going to follow the spiritual path and, the most important thing, building a solid base.

At university, I took a theology course. It was astonishing that most of my partners were in the same position as me. In the first class, the teacher asked: 'Why do young people approach religion and why do they distance from it?' The main idea was that young people are seeking for a sense to their lives and the answer for their existential questions. Whereas, they distance from religion when there are so many ritualisms without basis or ideas out of context. The theology course was a great experience: we learnt about the spiritual dimension of the human being and how Lord Jesus teachings can be applied in these times.

That's all for now. Thanks a lot for reading this letter. Thanks a lot for your mercy and inspiration.

HpS - I had to leave my materialistic family and community associations. I was living in the B'cari ashrama which is like living in homeless center in some ways. So many stressful things. I was wandering the streets in San Francisco, askin, analytically... is this KC real. Then I read a page etc, from Srila Prabhupada's book, and the answer was clear. Every time I make this experiment it is real

Yes.

There is clear definite content in these books.

Maybe I am too weak to follow. Maybe I can follow by the 'skin of my teeth', but this is the best knowledge I have found in anywhere.

So, that is why I am here.

Gita says that even the sincere desire to be a good person is glorious. Don't turn into:

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

Please accept my obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

This time I want to take of something that we talked about in my last letter.

This is what we talked about:

“One last thing to tell, important, a friend who is living in the Zurich temple introduced me to Philip, he also lives there. This friend said that we could get along and created a WhatsApp chat to introduce each other. Philip and me are making plans so that we can spend our lives together serving Krsna ... even though he and me are on different continents.

HpS - Do what you must do!!! 

Romeo and Juliet???

He is a serious and responsible devotee, I think he will take good care of me and the family that we want to have.

Was Kunti happy?

Gandhari, Radha, Darupadi, Juliet, Josephine? ? ? ?😎

Are you going to be happy??

Were they SUCCESSFUL?? Are you going to be SUCCESSFUL?”

Philip proposed to me, I said yes.

Part of our plan is to get married and live in Switzerland. He returned to his village, started working and is looking for a house for us. In addition, we began the long and difficult process to obtain my visa, we did all the corresponding procedures, now we are waiting for the migration response.

On the other hand, his questions made me think a lot. I can´t assure you that I will be happy because this world is not made for that, but I am sure that I have chosen a great partner to share my process in Krishna consciousness, I believe that our spiritual life can be successful.

HpS - If the attitude is that we are both in jail, insane asylum, and marriage means making a laboratory where we can learn how to become cured, then it is fine. It will be very satisfying.

I know that this new stage is going to be full of changes, that I will have to learn many things. There is something that particularly worries me as we decide that one day we will have children. I am concerned about not knowing how to raise a child, I am more concerned about not knowing how to raise a child in Krsna consciousness. They say that women have a motherly instinct, I hope this awakens when i need it.

Another thing that worries me is the language, in the village of my future husband they speak German. Philip says that most of the people speak English and that I won't have a problem communicating with them. I also started a German course, pronunciation is difficult for me and I don't like how it sounds.

I choose to see all this as a great adventure with Krsna in my heart accompanying me at every step. (Krsna, adventure partner)

I´m going to live in the Zurich temple until we get married, it would be about 2 months, I want to continue my service as a pujari in the temple for those two months and also after going to live with my husband. I would like to do it once a week since the temple isn´t near the village where we are going to live. We will live in Wängi, Philip grew up there, his family and friends are there too.

I´m thinking about how to continue my preaching in a country where I don´t know the language, perhaps prasadam distribution can be a good option while i´m learning the language. I think I could start a preaching program just like the one I did before the quarantine, maybe a Bhakti Vrksa, maybe a weekly online reading with the devotees in the congregation. The possibilities are limitless.

I hope I can go on with the morning program when I no longer live in the temple.

There will be a 7 hour time difference with FMP on gotomeeting, so I will have to do it without my dear Anjana Suta Academy devotees.

Gurudeva, even though we are far away, I feel close to you, and I thank you for the enormous effort you make to teach and give us your association every day. Thanks for the slides and tweets. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

One of my deepest wishes right now is that your instructions become my life.

Your aspirant servant

HpS - AGTSP! Paoho. We had to scan the last part of the letter because there is a Polar Bear trying to set fire to the tree in front of the house, but your plan seems basically sane. NOW.... 4-principles and 16-rounds under the authority of Srila Prabhupada! Do it or not do it, but make it the goal, then Mother Yasoda will give you all the help you need.
