Especially 4.37.20 - We weren't born to be happy."
Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you.
By your mercy, Gurudeva, I am continuing my Sadhana as I reported to you last month. In addition, because I am on break, I am reading Srila Prabhupada's books for one hour every day, as you suggested to me a few months ago. I memorized eight verses from Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2 and am working on learning the Sanskrit meters of the verses we encounter in Sastra.
HpS - ASA -- Amazing!!!
Gurudeva, I was wondering if you could kindly instruct me on how I can serve you during this time. I always remember how you say that one should become a third-class servant and follow the Guru's instructions, before trying to become an advanced servant and act based on one's opinion of what the Guru might desire.
Your insignificant servant, eternally indebted to you for your mercy,
Sugopi Radha devi dasi
HpS - What kind of nice people have you found in the world? Could Shakespeare become a devotee? Any nice books by people eg. Socrates? Others?
Go looking for people, living or dead, who can become devotees.
Hare Krishna Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias, todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.
Espero que este bien Maharaja, le quería preguntar una duda que tengo acerca de una frase que un discípulo suyo me envió que dijo usted.
En el texto dice que el que duerme en el Brahma muhurtha tomara conciencia para nacer como rata en Vrindavan en la siguiente vida; entonces tengo dos preguntas:
1- Es que nacer como cualquier tipo de animal en Vrindavan es una bendicion incluso como una rata y será su ultimo nacimiento en la tierra. Por qué si dormir en el Brahma muhurtha no es una austeridad tiene ese resultado tan bueno de nacer en Vrindavan.
2- Cual es la fuente de los sastras donde indica esa información ? ya que no la escuche antes en las escrituras.
Muchas gracias.
Su sirviente.
Madhavendra Puri Dasa.

Hare Krishna, Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I hope Maharaja is well.
HpS - 90%, but fighting with The Witch. Your association is essential!
I wanted to ask you a question I have about a phrase that a disciple of yours sent me that you said.
In the text he says that the one who sleeps in the Brahma muhurtha will become conscious to be born as a rat in Vrindavan in the next life; so I have two questions:
1- It is that being born as any type of animal in Vrindavan is a blessing even as a rat and it will be its last birth on earth. Why if sleeping in the Brahma muhurtha is not an austerity does it have such a good result of being born in Vrindavan.
HpS - ASA -- I don't think we said that. I think it was the prediction of Monkey or Piggy et al. Prabhupada said, (they say), that if we are in ISKCON, but don't follow the regulative principles well then Krsna may find a way to sneak us into Vrndavana by the back door eg. as rats in the sewers or lusty monkeys.
But he said better to come in through the front door with our head up, showing a good example of Srila Prabhupada.
He said, there are already enough monkeys in Vrndavana.
2- What is the source of the sastras where it indicates that information? since I did not hear it before in the scriptures.
HpS - We would have to find Monkey and ask him. The above is part of the "Sastric" citation. Morning walk? Class? Also, now we are remembering Srila Prabhupada saying in one of these also about ... I think Yajnavalkya Das b'cari told me he heard Prabhupada say that if we sleep during Mangala arati we will become rats in our next life. They like to pile up together under ground and sleep.
Story of regular day of Krsna in Krsna book gives nice description of Brahma muhurta and its importance.
Thanks a lot.
His servant.
Madhavendra Puri Dasa.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
All glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami!!
All the members of this project have resolved the fundamental questions: Who are we? Can we work as a team, and how are we going to make this project come true?
To date we are: p. Raghunatha, p. Uddhava, p. Gadai Gauranga and his wife his mother Nadiya, Nitya-kisori mataji, p. Laksmi-Narayana, Maria and me.
Summary of progress made.
ASA - Many hands make light labor!
1. With Prabhu Uddhava, disciple of Prahladananda Swami (he is a forestry engineer, an expert in agrarian issues with 40 years of experience) we are in the preliminary stage of locating and formalizing the property.
We have located two properties, one in Zuñiga (Cañete), to the south, three hours from Lima and another in Pativilca, to the north, at 3 or 3.30 hours.
We are also evaluating, Canta, Huarochirí and San Mateo. As you mentioned that Pamashto is very far (20 hours from Lima), we are locating the property within a radius of no more than 4 hours from Lima, okay?
ASA-Uncle Gismo - It must be within 45-minutes of a city where there is a university, no? Must be land for ASA and other land that friends of ASA can buy. Water. Maybe in Ecuador???
2. With the Ecological House of the Catholic University and Walter Leon we are seeing a project to build ecological houses, we are baptizing this model as RAM house (Rural, Anti-seismic and Multipurpose). They will also advise us on the use of wind energy and solar panels. Any suggestion?
HpS - Grass converts solar power, oxen and bulls eat grass and provide work, no? Good solar power?? Can develop property so that it will be attractive to other buyers, not just Hare Krsna buildings, then can sell and buy other place if better?
3. With the La Molina Agrarian University we are in very good conversations so that this project is evaluated for its organic and ecological crops with permaculture, they will make a soil evaluation and investigate our production model as a model to be replicated. Any suggestion?
ASA - Puede tomar apoyo del Maharaja Bhakti purusotraya Swami y su proyecto???
4. Nitya-kisori is a business administrator and her brother Franco is a planning expert trained in France, both of them, starting in January, begin to design the administrative and legal structure of the project and an annual work plan for the next three years . Any suggestion?
HpS - Good.
It is a fact that we have to have a place where we can practice the way of life that we preach: "Simple life and high thinking." I have been talking these last weeks with different types of people, academics, artists and businessmen, they all agree that the creation of these ecological and cultural villages is the best way to live in goodness and to properly face this pandemic and all those that seem to be looming.
ASA - They are all Krsna's mercy. Bhakta Fred thinks that Krsna has given power to people in the Kali-yuga to develop industrial power, yantra vidhi, but now they are destroying the Earth, so He is finishing it. This pandemic will mutate and in the end the industrialized life style will be destroyed. Peopl will be successful who live in nations based upon village, rural life. Village, Town, City, County, Nation.
The will be 80% self sufficient just from their village life and not travel too much or too far, but will be very well connected if need be.
Normal Dvapara yuga life.
HARE KRISHNA GURUDEVA, her useless servant, Abhirama Thakura dasa.
HpS - ASA --- Thank you many!!!!! ASA Asokavan, Peru, Radha-kunda.

Proyecto: Aldea Agroecológica y Cultural "Nueva Aksovan"
Todos los integrantes de este proyecto han resuelto las preguntas fundamentales: ¿Quiénes somos? ¿Podemos trabajar en equipo? y ¿cómo vamos a hacer realidad este proyecto?
Hasta la fecha somos: p. Raghunatha, pág. Uddhava, pág. Gadai Gauranga y su esposa su madre Nadiya, Nitya-kisori mataji, p. Laksmi-Narayana, Maria y yo.
Resumen de los avances realizados.
1. Con Prabhu Uddhava, discípulo de Prahladananda Swami (es un ingeniero forestal, experto en temas agrarios con 40 años de experiencia) estamos en la etapa preliminar de ubicar y formalizar la propiedad. Hemos localizado dos propiedades, una en Zuñiga (Cañete), al sur, a tres horas de Lima y otra en Pativilca, al norte, a las 3 o 3.30 horas. También estamos evaluando, Canta, Huarochirí y San Mateo. Como mencionaste que Pamashto está muy lejos (a 20 horas de Lima), estamos ubicando la propiedad en un radio de no más de 4 horas desde Lima, ¿está bien?
2. Con la Casa Ecológica de la Universidad Católica y Walter León estamos viendo un proyecto de construcción de casas ecológicas, bautizamos este modelo como casa RAM (Rural, Antisísmica y Multipropósito). También nos asesorarán sobre el uso de energía eólica y paneles solares. ¿Alguna sugerencia?
3. Con la Universidad Agraria La Molina estamos en muy buenas conversaciones para que este proyecto sea evaluado por sus cultivos orgánicos y ecológicos con permacultura, ellos harán una evaluación de suelos e investigarán nuestro modelo de producción como modelo a replicar. ¿Alguna sugerencia?
4. Nitya-kisori es administradora de empresas y su hermano Franco es un experto en planificación formado en Francia, ambos, a partir de enero, comienzan a diseñar la estructura administrativa y legal del proyecto y un plan de trabajo anual para los próximos tres años. ¿Alguna sugerencia?
Es un hecho que tenemos que tener un lugar donde podamos practicar la forma de vida que predicamos: "Vida simple y pensamiento elevado". He estado hablando estas últimas semanas con diferentes tipos de personas, académicos, artistas y empresarios, todos coinciden en que la creación de estas aldeas ecológicas y culturales es la mejor manera de vivir en bondad y enfrentar adecuadamente esta pandemia y todas las que parecen que ya se avecinan.
HARE KRISHNA GURUDEVA, su sirviente inútil, Abhirama Thakura dasa.
