Thank you so much for giving me shelter at your lotus feet, Guru Maharaj. I am overjoyed.

I have read the other post as you instructed and also read the Guru Tattva document on jayarama.us.

I will chant 16 rounds and follow the 4 regulative principles strictly for the next 6 months, Guru Maharaj.

I have also started preparing for the Disciple course and plan to finish it by the end of this month. Thanks again Guru Maharaj!!

Your humble servant

Por favor acepte mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Gracias por su respuesta a mi carta solicitándole si usted me acepta como aspirante a discípulo.

La última vez que yo lo ví a usted fue en la casa de prabhu Madhavendra y Yasoda, en Córdoba. Hablamos sobre mi nombre (Damián) porque a usted le sorprendió (le conté que mis padres me pusieron Damián por una película de los ´80) y que tengo estudios en contabilidad (accountant)...

HpS - Si, si! Recordando esto!!

... ya hace un tiempo vengo visitando la página www.JayaRama.us y monkeywarrior.com

Usted me sugirió que lea el gurutattva.txt, ya lo he leído.

Con respecto a:

Es algo confidencial entre el estudiante y nosotros mismos y Srila Prabhupada.

Con algunas palabras en detalle ¿Has sido capaz de cantar al menos 16 buenas rondas diariamente durante todo el año? b. Similarmente ¿Has sido capaz de seguir los cuatro principios regulativos estrictamente? c. ¿Te has despertado regularmente a las 4AM y has asistido a Mangala-Arati, Kirtana, Clase de SB? d. ¿Quién es tu autoridad administrativa, de Sankirtana, en ISKCON? e. Algunas palabras que te desees compartir con nosotros para ofrecer a Srila Prabhupada.

Esto debo responderlo por este blog (monkeywarrior.com) o se envía de otra forma?

Gracias maharaja, esperando sus instrucciones.

Un saludo afectuoso y espero que esté bien

HpS - These are the questions for the Annual Report for our Diksa disciples. It is due each year by our birthday. The day of Locana Das' appearance on the Vaisnava calendar. This year it will be 13th January 2021 (if we are all still in these bodies).

Of course, Srila Prabhupada and Krsna know everything about you, so get a clearer and clearer connection with Them through Srila Prabhupada's books, Sankirtan movement.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

It is always nourishing to our soul listen to you everyday at FMP. It is just causeless mercy that you give to us since 2012 with Webex, I recall that I found an invitation from you. I thought this was incorrect because the meeting started at 1:30 am, so I decided to join and there were you and my very dear Madhumanjari dd, we chanted rounds with you until 3:30 am. Later on you invited more devotees, and it was awesome.

I am making this introduction due to I want to make a question that maybe can hurt someone's feelings but it is a doubt that I have deep in my heart and intelligence. Sometimes, and I include myself in this, we kind of overload the chat with our problems, thoughts, poems, dogs (I mention Ulyses quite a few times haha), etc and then we are not chanting anymore we are Chating instead. Perhaps you did not notice but one lady put: " I am a bee and I think HpS like my favorite flower" And I said OMG that was totally inappropriate. I wanted to correct the lady but then I thought who am I to correct anyone?

I sometimes said something about my personal life also.. She is not even in my country, so how can I do that? plus, I do not if that offended You. In addition, I am not just the one who has this opinion, not about the ladies's comment the chat in general. You always said that the instruments should not cover the mantra in kirtan, so I took your words and say to some devotee friends: "The chat should not cover the japa".

HpS - Yes, should be Japa, but it is only opportunity for Darsana, so we include little more dialog that normal. After that, from 5.30-7.30 AM we have time to be alone and chant with concentration. Also from 1.30-4.30 we are alone.

Did not notice ladies comments.

This letter may be nice reminder to focus on chanting. I think it is under control now. Thank you!!

I am sorry if I am too stupid to make these statements, nevertheless I would like your comments about this.

Report: Today I fast Nirjala until 2pm then I drank some milk shake offer to Sri Sri Radha Krsna, Gaura Nitai and so forth. We chanted some japa with Yasoda dd, later I am going to read a little, now I have to continue correcting some project from my journalist students.

ASA = 'o'

The environment in my work at least in one university is so tense, we can feel all the pressure for earn more money haha. Well I try to avoid that as you said once "There is no anxiety in SP's books"

Tomorrow is one year that my mom went back to Godhead.. Special rounds for her tomorrow. I now that everybody says my mother is the best, but she really was. Love you mom.

HpS - Our Mother taught us to say, "Our Father who art in Heaven..." every night from very small. ...

Thanks Gurudeva

see you tomorrow

Same channel

Trying to be your disciple

Candramukhi dd

HpS - Thank you!!! NoD describes Candra-kanti, a fair faced girl, who decided she would only have Krsna for a husband, so she dance all night on Ekadasi to attract his attention, no?

Hare Krsna dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I hope you're doing fine. I have some ideas for the LA meeting, not necessarily in order:

1. I am working with Baladeva, LAD and the great support of Indira Sakti dd (nice, kind guys)
2. Sunday 4 to 6 pm CST
3. Does it seem right to call it Latin American educators meeting?
4. Summary of the North American Symposium of Sastric education (some of us will be there, the most not, because of the language barrier).
5. A few words from you, Atul Krsna prabhu, Balimardana prabhu, Baladeva prabhu.
6. Human resources and data interchange:

• Proposal for a census of educators at the regional level (create a file that record basic data and teaching skills, with a brief personal history)
• Proposal for the creation of a space in the cloud to upload educational material of unrestricted use (clases, articles, books, ppt shows, videos)

How about an online Latin American symposium for August or September with greater coverage and call? (can have the cooperation of the mentioned above, Isvari dd, Jagad Guru and others)

Waiting eagerly for your kind answer

Your servant Gandharva das

HpS - AGTSP.... Paoho... Sorry that it took so long to answer. We are struggling to survive with the work we have. Maybe you saw what a load the Houston Symposium. We just finished it this morning.

I think that your plans seem O.K. Again, it depends on the determination of the people involved. At 4.30PM we shall meet! Thank you!

"Tato jayam uddhirayet!"

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias. 

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Primeramente agradecerle por su infinita paciencia y disculpe por favor los errores tecnológicos y de nuestra parte.

Tengo un mensaje de un vaisnava que conocemos, el estuvo en la trasmisión de la clase de ISKCON México, discipulo de SS. Guruprasad Swami.

Estimado Maharaja Hanumatpresaka Swami .

Acepte mis reverencias por favor. 

Sé que desea publicar algunos libros de su autoría. Yo soy editor profesional, y elaboro libros conforme a estándares ortotipográficos internacionales; me ofrezco con mucho gusto a colaborar si es posible para elaborarlos.

Sé elaborar libros multilingües (hebreo, griego, lenguas modernas) y con transliteraciones, con referencias cruzadas, párrafos numerados si es necesario (como en ediciones críticas de los Diálogos de Platón), notas marginales y a pie de página, bibliografías en formatos académico como APA y conozco los tamaños y formatos adecuados para imprimir. 

Ahora estoy por terminar un libro de un teólogo católico. Hace poco imprimí también mi primer libro. Participé en la edición del Bhagavatam que imprimió prabhu Aravinda. Pero me gustaría poder servir en la obra de Maharaja, estoy dispuesto y disponible. 

Quedo a sus órdenes

Dear Maharaja Hanumatpresaka Swami.

Please accept my obeisances.

I know you want to publish some of your books. I am a professional editor, and I produce books according to international orthographic standards; I gladly offer to collaborate if possible to elaborate them.

I can produce multilingual books (Hebrew, Greek, modern languages) and with transliterations, with cross references, numbered paragraphs if necessary (as in critical editions of Plato's Dialogues), marginal and footnotes, bibliographies in academic formats such as APA and I know the right sizes and formats for printing.

Now I am about to finish a book by a Catholic theologian. I recently also printed my first book. I participated in the edition of the Bhagavatam that prabhu Aravinda printed. But I wish I could serve in Maharaja's work, I am willing and available.

I remain at your service

ASA - HpS --- Thank you!!! We are developing this Journal, 'Solaris', for our educational corporation, NIOS, from Peru, with Prof. Miguel Polo and Abhirama-thakura Das. We will tell them to look at this letter and then they can get in touch with you through The Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi! Thank you! You know the analogy, all of our abilities are a long string of zeros until we put a one in front of them by using them for Krsna.
