Por favor acepte mis reverencias! 

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Estuvimos preocupados por Su salud, que Sri Nrsimhadeva siempre proteja su energía para servir a Srila Prabhupada, es nuestro humilde oración. Trataremos de volvernos discípulos sinceros.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances

I hope you are in better health

I would like to inform you the itinerary of my travel to the USA. I have bought a ticket in Interjet from Lima to Dallas. The day of depart is February 1st at 6:30 AM. I arrive to Mexico at 12:00 PM. My flight to Dallas is at 18:30 PM. So, I don't know if I could visit the devotees or do a mini tour in Mexico city. Would you recommend it? Or it's better to stay at the airport?

Then, I arrive to Dallas at 21:15 PM. I will stay in the residence of the University of North Texas in Denton (1 hour from Dallas) until February 23rd. After that date, I'm planning to stay 2 weeks more in Dallas, but I don't have any accommodation. I want to visit the Radha Kalachandji temple and the gurukulas (if there are). So, please I would like to ask you if you know a place where I can stay until March 11th.

Thanks for all your mercy.

Trying to serve,

Rukmini dd

Hare Krishna dear Gurumaharaja

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

Humble obeisances Gurudeva.

• I am making progress with the process for the certification of Candramukhi dd as Bhakti Sastri examiner. There is only a matter on which I have certain doubts. MOE's requirements are: Bhakti Sastri degree (she has it), Teacher Trainig Courses 1 and 2 (she does not have it), but in exchange she has a lot of teaching experience for almost 17 years and a Master. I'm sending these documents (Master degree and the proof of teaching document) with the hope that they will accept them as valid.

Should I need your intercession??

HpS - I don't think so. When I was with the BOEX in India in October they were all lamenting that the Teacher Training Courses have had both good and very bad effects. One thing was exactly what you said, that it was eliminating or disabling very qualified teachers. So I think it should be O.K.! Let us know if there is any need to change things.

• On the other hand, BhVai certification is in stand-by because Caitanya Candra prabhu and Karuna Krsna prabhu have some doubts about LAD as BhVai instructor. Both prefer to have a personal conversation with you before proceeding. If LAD is the instructor (in spanish). Who's the examiner? You mention someone who is a Bhakti Vedanta student... You?

HpS - To our mind the BhVai diplomas are in a real infant stage. Yes, I would like to talk with Karuna and Caitanya about almost anything. I suggest that you go ahead with organized study of the Bh. Vai. materials and several devotees teach, lead the readings and discussions and then give local certificates at the end of each Canto and later those can be integrated with BOEX standard as needed. To quote B. Vijna Swami in Russia, "We are not fruitive workers!", is we get some nice appreciation for the material, make friends who like the material, and develop life long study habits, that is great! Details of institutional diplomas will follow, no?

• Finally, there has been some small issues in administration because Yamunesvara p. and Ganga Mayi mataji thinks that I'm going to intercede in initiation processes... I need to talk with them, maybe my fault.

HpS - Yes.... Education, Brahmanas, are meant to co-operate with Administrators, Ksatriyas. They are the two legs of prosperity and happiness for the citizens. Of course, it ISKCON we are all very Brahminical now but I am sudra-brahmana(x3). Somebody else more details. We need to adjust these things so we can offer leadership to the entire nation.

Waiting eagerly for your kind answer

Your servant

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP paoho. Thank you for your note, answers, to the previous letters.

To summarize, you Sadhana and decisions seems great. What about running the restaurant once a week or something like that, so that devotees know what day it is open? May also not be good, but has worked sometimes very well other places.

🌻Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva 🌻

🌸my obeisances to your sacred feet🌸

All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gouranga!!

I felt bad for you when I read that the kitri caused you indigestion. I hope you are much better now.

We are here with Gandharva, the days around here in January are fresh, best of the year, now it rains a little. We are very happy doing more service at the temple.

I wrote to you in December Gurudeva, and you asked me some questions that I want to answer below:

1) HpS - ASA --- Did you post this at the Report link here in the Blog!!??? Have to do that also to satisfy the Borro Cracy!!!

Indira response: Yes Gurudeva I sent you 2 letters:

- one, is the anual report in this “Letters” sectión and

- another in “Reports” section 😊

Indira letter: -“…In the temple, I am currently cooking on Saturdays, the fifth and sixth offering of the day. I'm making garlands on Sundays. I am also replacing a few pujaris. I have also started serving the Vedabase, with Mitravinda mataji, in communication with Prabhu Prahlad Nrsimha…”

2)HpS - And also running the restaurant, no?

Indira response: Well, we are not doing it anymore Gurudeva, this experience as devotional service was wonderfull, to give prasadam, to preach, to be in the temple with devotees, etc. but actually, the average net income did not exceed 25 dollars a week, wich is divided with my sister and meant so little. In addition, my sister has 3 children, and its was turning a little bit hard not be in home.

 In my case my sadhana weakened a lot. Now, thanks to you, I am chanting 16 rounds again, 4 regulatory principles ok, and working hard to strengthen it. Doing more service (I am entering Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning to change the deities. I put ornaments on Goura Nitay. I have learned to make sweets for mangalartik. Reading more. Trying hard to control senses. 2020: No more chocolate.

Thank you for your immeasurable mercy Gurudeva, Im very happy!!

The good new is that in the restaurant, we meet people who want to know more about Krsna Conciousness. So I thinking to start a nama hatta o bhakti vriska group. What do you think about this Gurudeva? Please give me your instructions.

HpS - Thank you so, much!!!!!!!!!!!! Now we run to the evening program. Please go with Gandharva Das with us!!

Indira response: I will be there, Gurudeva! Thank you so much! 🌻

Chanting my rounds

I always ask Krishna to allow me

to be your disciple and thus,

learn how to be a servant,

how to love Him.

...

Chanting my rounds

I also ask you to allow me to love Krsna,

for that is your wonderful power.

Thanks for your valuable time Gurudeva
