se despide su humilde sirvienta Raman Reti devi dasi

HpS - Super, super, super. mas que podemos encontrar una apego FUERTE al Srimad Bhagavatam, CC etc. mas que podemos compartir esta apego a otros. Esta apego proviene de oir, y.... Karma yoga, haciendo lo que puede hacer para Krsna. Cocinando... Relishing SB and then infecting others with our "disease".

Hare Krsna dearest Gurudeva, please accept my most respectful obeisances.

Jaya Srila Prabhupada! Jaya Guru-parampara! Jaya gaura-bhakta-vrinda!

Srila Gurudeva, I would like to thank you again for the time shared in Houston, for the darshan that you kindly gave me and the encouragement to pursue what my heart desires as an offering to guru and Krishna, I liked when you said “this is your journey of self-realization” , meaning to get to know and discover myself.

When I was in Houston I prayed to Sri Sri Radha Nila Madhava to please show me the way I’m suppose to follow and to please please make it very clear to me, to give me clear signals so I know for sure what They want for me without doubts. So, I came back to Dallas, and everything changed, things got difficult here, long story short, I’m unemployed and I was indirectly requested to move out asap of the temple apartment . . . . . During my time in Houston Subhra mataji spoke to me about some positions opening in the Goswami Academy (GA), she asked me to apply to them in case I was interested on, which I really am. I have almost a year experience as a teacher assistant (this was back in 2016 when I lived in Providence, Rhode Island) and I remember my heart being to its highest level of happiness when I was working with children, almost at the same level I experienced doing harinama and book distribution in Mexico. Yesterday I sent her my resume and letters of recommendation, today I had a phone call interview with her, next step is having all the candidates next week going to the school to perform with children and we’ll be judge on those basis, then we’ll have to be patient and wait till they make a final decision about who they are going to hire.

Meanwhile my intention is to keep applying to other jobs in Houston in case I don’t get into the GA. I’m currently looking into options to move there, trying to figure out my living situation, talking to Manasi mataji, Giriraj Swami has also asked on my behalf to the temple authorities, so Nityanda prabhu (the Dallas TP).

The answer that we got is that there are some temple apartments for rent starting at $850 (studio).

This is a above my budget for now, because with bills it would be probably around $1000 per month, with car and insurance, $300 more plus groceries! (?) [huh, material world]. Do you have any suggestion for me? Any instruction?

HpS - No.... Of course, we may all be dead within three weeks from Corona influenza, but that is the material world. We don't know where we will live etc. Everything is a cinema being directly by Krsna. Just chant, chant, chant. He killed Maharaja Pariksit so that he could change his serviced quickly.

My idea is to start taking classes in a community collage this year, and finding out more about the Montessori certifications that they offer.

I keep chanting Hare Krsna on my beads and praying.

I’m so sorry if this letter was a little too overwhelming.

Please accept my respects and obeisances, vanca kalpa tarubhyas ca...

Hari HARIBOL!

Aspiring to be your eternal servant,

Aindavi Devi Dasi

HpS - Thank you. Chant, chant, chant!!!!!!!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj!

PAMHO AGTSP AGTY

We missed hearing from you Saturday Maharaj but stuff happens. I am looking forward to your visit coming up here soon and no electronic technical difficulties :). We pray that Krishna will help you fully recover so that you may serve Srila Prabhupada to your full desire. I have been speaking to Srinivasacharya Prabhu and he has been able to forward info that you will be here in Boise in the next couple months. So I am just working on my 16/4's, morning program, being patient and enthusiastic. Some exciting stuff going on here in Boise! I heard Bada Hari Prabhu say once that Srila Prabhupada said that if you want to leave some place but know there is nowhere to go then you are starting to make some advancement. Haha

Srivivas Prabhu was speaking to our family last week about the BGIS in Vrindavan and how his nephew goes to school there. Janardan has been speaking about going there ever since. He really wants to go to school there. A couple days ago he was telling his school counselor that he was probably moving to India to go to school and the teacher asked what his faith was. Janardan told him Hare Krishna's and invited him to the temple Sunday. His teacher came to Sunday feast! Then each day when I come home from work he asks if his mother and I have decided yet if he can go to BGIS. We weren't sure about paying for the whole thing with tuition and flights however I got a call from my lawyer Friday and he closed a claim from a car accident I got into 3 years ago and the amount we will receive will more then cover the cost of tuition and flights. I think this might be Krishna's arrangement for Janardan?

HpS - AGTSP paoho. The primary schools are so risky that I would not send him that far away. What about Houston? Is he too old? Other than that it is local efforts. Have programs for the kids on Sunday and during the week. If they want they will get the vision of Krsna with His flute in Vrndavana.

Srivnivas and Mother Sundari Radhaka think Janardan should go. Anantarupa says it seems like Krishna wants Janardan to go considering the blessing of Laxmi at the time when we are considering this. Alicia of course is hesitant to send her son all away across the world to school, she is worried if its the right thing to do. I spoke with the BGIS principal and he was very easy to work with and is willing to work with us on the registration, interview process and Janardan finishing 6th grade here in the US and then going there for 7th. Guru Maharaj please instruct us. Do you think we should send Janardan to BGIS in Vrindavan? I know by following your instructions it will please Srila Prabhupada and Krishna. Please help us with this decision.

HpS - I don't know exactly what is BGIS in Vrndavana. I guess it is the Gurukula. They moved out of the Temple and are now on the road to Mathura. Yes, seventh grade is too old for Houston. Just too risky. Being 10,000 miles away from home in a school where the teacher has to be like a father and mother to him! I hear of criticisms of the school. That is natural. It is Kali yuga, but at such a distance and for one who has never lived in an Ashrama before. See what is happening in the USA: I know kids who have gone to ISKCON Gita camps for two weeks in the USA and liked it.

Janardan is 12 years old now. He is chanting 5 rounds each day, he changes our Nitai-Guaranga's water each day and offers them incense. He is very attracted to Diety worship. Not long after we moved here to Boise 5 months ago he asked how he could be up on the altar and offer arati to Sri Sri Radha-Bunkabihari. He often at arati stands right against the altar and is very focused on the arati ceremony. He has been going to boy scouts for a few months now and really enjoys it. I attached a photo of him in his scout uniform, I thought you might like it. Also a photo of Nitai-Guaranga!

Please bless me Guru Maharaj so that my chanting will be more pleasing to Krsna and Srila Prabhupada. And that I may make advancement in serving yours and their lotus feet. Also please bless Janardan that his love for Krishna will grow.

Ok off to bed here and start again tomorrow!

HpS - Jaya!!!!!
