Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, reciba mis respetuosas reverencias, seguimos en cuarentena acá en Huancayo, a diferencia de Lima, acá la cuarentena es muy estricta, no hay movilidad para ningún lado y muchos policías.

Por otro lado acá ya comenzó el invierno y estamos teniendo temperaturas muy bajas, en las madrugadas de 4 a 8 grados bajo cero.

Por otro lado el sadhana, las 16 rondas, los 4 principios, atención a las Deidades y Salagrama Silas marcha muy bien, lectura del Nityananda Caritamrta. Estamos retomando la lectura del Caitanya Caritamrta, Madhya lila, primera parte, Cap6 "La liberación de Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya", texto 26. Hace más de un mes nos conectamos al programa de Mangal artik con usted y los devotos.

Una pregunta Guru Maharaja:

¿es necesario consultar con usted para tener un Siksa Guru?

Por otro lado estoy estudiando dibujo y pintura por Internet . También con mi esposa estamos estudiando algo de astrología védica (Jyotish), nos esta enseñando un devoto por Internet. Quizá pueda servir para el sankirtan.

Bueno Guru Maharaja me despido, que Nrsimha lo proteja siempre.

Hare Krsna.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva !!!

Please accept my obeisances 🙏.

We continue to resist this pandemic, 16r and 4p, in our personal situation my husband was out of a job for a while and it was somewhat difficult to overcome, but thanks to the mercy of Krishna and the Devotees we are now much better.

The children are very well because all our attention and dedication are for them and taking advantage of the stay at home we dedicate ourselves to worship the Deities completely and study the Krishna Book in a proper way.

A study initiative for children is also being given by Gopi Radha and a couple of other devotees and that works to keep them enthusiastic and eager to learn ... We have benefited a lot from having many online classes from different exponents I think this works much better than it normally did.

This pandemic has also given us a lot to think about as to what happens in our Yatra, there have been cases of abuse and now there are groups focused on exposing and pointing to the opposite sex and I am concerned that my children grow up surrounded by all this. , much violence within the society of devotees of both men and women, where is the protection and true education ?.

On the other hand we are waiting for more union between married and with child devotees to be able to do something for the future of our children within Krishna consciousness.

Sorry for my long letter but as always it takes me a while to write because I don't do much just take care of my house and my children and try to follow their programs.

All Glory to Srila Prabhupada !!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, receive my respectful obeisances, we are still in quarantine here in Huancayo, unlike Lima, here the quarantine is very strict, there is no mobility anywhere and many police officers.

ASA !!!

On the other hand, winter has started here and we are having very low temperatures, at dawn of 4 to 8 degrees below zero.

On the other hand, sadhana, the 16 rounds, the 4 principles, attention to the Deities and Salagram Silas are going very well, reading of the Nityananda Caritamrta. We are resuming the reading of the Caitanya Caritamrta, Madhya lila, first part, Cap6 "The liberation of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya", text 26. More than a month ago we connected to the Mangal artik program with you and the devotees.

ASA - !!!!!

A question for Guru Maharaja:

Is it necessary to consult with you to have a Siksa Guru?

HpS - ??? No, yes, sometimes. If we are acting as Diksa guru, then you have to consult with us or just our instructions (Param-para) to be sure that the Siksa guru is properly aligned with the Diksa instructions. If Siksa guru says that you should follow Ramanuja achary and not Lord Caitanya and chant another mantra, then you have to reject him. In general our instruction, Srila P'pada, L. Caityan is 'trnad api..' get as many Siksa gurus as you can at every moment.

On the other hand I am studying drawing and painting on the Internet. Also with my wife we ​​are studying some Vedic astrology (Jyotish), a devotee is teaching us online. Maybe it can be used for sankirtan.

HpS - Vedic palm reading is very useful.

Well Guru Maharaja I say goodbye, may Nrsimha protect him always.

Hare Krsna.

HpS - Are you growing your garden? Cannot visit neighboring farmers?

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

Please accept our humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

I hope you feel much better about the seasonal allergies that have been bothering you. I wrote you an email asking you a question. At the moment, we have 7 Bhakti Sastri groups fully operational (4 in Peru, 2 in Ecuador and 1 in Bolivia), all of them aligned to BoEx requirements. Our previous Examiner applicant (CMDD) has had to withdraw due to the workload.

We have 2 alternative possibilities, we just wait for your approval. In particular, I consider that it would be very opportune to appoint examiners from Bolivia or Ecuador, since the administrator and the authorized center are from Peru (me and ISKCON Chosica). In that case, conversing with different devotees, I propose Karunya Nitay from Guayaquil (a devotee for many years and a high-quality educator, possibly you know him) and the other alternative is Nayana Manjari dd from Bolivia (I spoke with parabhu Mathuresh about it and she's able and fully qualified), who can be supported by Yugala Kisora ​​dd.

HpS - That sounds great. I know K. Nitai!!! Super-dude!!

Please consider one possibility or perhaps another that you propose in order to find a solution.

HpS - No, this is fine!

I am looking forward to your response.

Your servant / Gandharva das

HpS - If there are problems or delays we can always give our local diplomas eg. ASA Golden Banana of the Sasrtic Mind.

Pamho, AgtSP!!!

Dear Gurudeva hope you are really fine, so long time no communicating here.

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krishna!!!

This last virtual visit was very inspiring, I could completely fell [feel] your presence and benediction very near. It was very very very much enlivening, thank you so much.

HpS - On the contrary we were living in your house in our mind!!

All this Karuna virus time is very strange, and world is changing and changing in a very unnatural form, the teachings from the scriptures, Prabhupadas message is more live than never.

At the same time people in general, that are between fear and anxiety are more prone to listen, to look at oneself. Is a nice time to be a devotee, to become deep and share Krishnas message.

At this times, trying to regenerate, finding the way to work, all turning to online, doing some kind of meditations, talks, courses and so on via online nd some other things. In many aspects, much challenges; big challenge in family life, trying to become patient and constant in connecting with the natural enthusiasm of the self and Krishnas inspiration in the heart.

Thank you Gurudeva for allways being fixed in Krishna Consciousness, spreading that with generosity and showing the path.

Willing to become useful and a servant,

Madhavendra Puri Das 

HpS - How is your garden??????? Getting to know your neighbors more???

Hare Krishna, Gurudev.

Dandavat pranam unto your lotus feet.

HpS - Lettuce feet!!!

AGTSP, Guru and Sri Gauranga.

HpS - Jaya!!

I am very happy to read your reply to my letter. Gurudev with regards to my previous letter, please forgive me for the typing mistake -"..... please leave your body" although I actually meant "... please donot leave your body".

Regarding the Radha kund ashram construction, it is in process. Daily, I pray to the Lord and Gurudev, kindly grace me to complete the construction as early as May,2021.

HpS - Are you building a house that the whole world can live in?

Dandavat pranam again unto your lotus feet.

HpS - Licorice feet!!!

Hare Krishna.

HpS - Thank you. See you soon!!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva!!!

Por favor acepte mis reverencias 🙏.

Seguimos resistiendo a esta pandemia,16r y 4 p, en nuestra situación personal mi esposo se quedó sin trabajo por un tiempo y fue algo difícil sobreponernos, pero gracias a la misericordia de Krishna y los Devotos ahora estamos mucho mejor.

Los niños están muy bien pues toda nuestra atención y dedicación son para ellos y aprovechando la estancia en casa nos dedicamos a adorar a las Deidades por completo y a estudiar en forma el Krishna Book.

También se está dando una iniciativa de estudio para los niños por Gopi Radha y un par de devotas más y eso funciona para mantenerlos entusiastas y con ganas de aprender... Para nosotros nos ha beneficiado mucho el que tengamos muchas clases en línea de diferentes exponentes, creo que esto funciona mucho mejor que lo que normalmente se hacía.

También está pandemia nos ha dado mucho que pensar en cuanto a lo que pasa en nuestro Yatra, se han dado casos de abuso y ahora existen grupos enfocados en exponer y señalar al sexo opuesto y me preocupa el echo que mis hijos crezcan rodeados de todo esto, mucha violencia dentro de la sociedad de devotos tanto de hombres como de mujeres, dónde queda la protección y la verdadera educación?.

Por otro lado estamos esperando más unión entre devotos casados y con hijos para poder hacer algo por el futuro de nuestros hijos dentro de conciencia de Krishna.

Perdone por mi larga carta pero como siempre tardo un tiempo en escribir porque no hago mucho solo cuidar de mi casa y mis hijos y tratar de seguir sus programas.
