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?

HpS - AGTSP... Paoho. Sorry slow to answer. If you can contact the devotees it would be nice to associate with them. Abhirama Das has telephone of Astasakhi Devi Dasi, Lalita-gopi Devi Dasi et al!

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.

HpS - Oooof! I don't know. Call Srinatha Krsna Das. +1 508 493 8862. He might be able to help, but two weeks is a long time with no plans!!! Hare Krsna.

Thanks for all your mercy.

Trying to serve,

Rukmini dd

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

Pamhr. TLAGASP!

Hace unas semanas Abhiram Thakur prabhu se comunicó conmigo, para informarme que estaba tratando aún con el Señor afectado en el accidente, al que no se le había cancelado la indemnización, . ... una falta de atención en los mensajes por correo electrónico. . . .

Abhiram me pidió que le informará de este detalle en el que involuntariamente estamos involucrados, espero esto no cause muchos problemas.. . . .

Nuevamente perdoné nuestras torpezas, su aspirante a discípulo Anandamaya das.

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

HpS - ASA --- Gracias sus noticias. No se mucho de esta asunto y espero que Krsna es adjustando cosas. Yo soy mas torpe que Vd. Si no tenemos un jefe todo poderoso, nosotros peones va a destrur el mundo!

Esteemed Professor Dr. Samaresha et al,

Awk! Hare Krsna.

We are like 97% dead, but happy.

We have had arthritis in our shoulders the last few weeks. It may go away.

We have to talk carefully or our throat becomes in flamed.

We have wanted to report for so long but don't know how to summarize things.

Personally, we have been able to maintain this Japa Vrata of 16-good malas/day and this Dharma vrata of our four principles from the SB(https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/17/38/) and Guru. If we did not our Karma would carry us away very quickly like your Fullbright son whose attraction to alcohol killed him very quickly.

It is hard, it takes time, but withour 16/4 we would be even more useless than we are.

We have been working very furiously with the Ministry of Education and this Sastric Studies development, the four diplomas that Srila Prabhupada and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta outlined.

We have been working on the Ministry of Education newsletter, Viplavah, and our NIOS newsletter, Solaris, and developing the symposia for Education and the Sacred.

Just for example, day before yesterday:

Full morning program on line, with Mangala arati, reading Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, Japa together for 30-minutes, answering about five quick questions in the Chat.

1/2-hour preparing for SB class.

1-hour presenting class and discussions.

1/2-hour each with Rama-giridhari Das and Radhika raman Das about political problems in ISKCON, calendar for travel and projects, family issue..

1-4.30PM preparing and meeting with Prog. R. Messier, one of the foremost expert on Islamic studies in USA. He is wonderful person. We had so much to talk about. I showed him Pracyaprajna, Bharati Sanskkrti, Siksa Drsya, Stapathya, Light of th Bhagavata, Solaris. He was very enthused and showed us his current work. He is a historian and doing two original digs in Morocco, and did his doctorate in Numismatics! He is 68 years old.

Our practical relation is developing more and more.

Then we came back from Prog. RM home and went for a walk in the near freezing weather with Ravi and Dr. Kiran Desai and discussed all the NIOS and ISKCON work and answered the many dogs in the neighborhood.

So, we become exhausted, and have to force our selves to rest and read historical novels sometimes.

O.K.

That is a little update.

I hope to call soon unless our voice disappears altogether.

We are always trying to take advantage of the mercy you have shown to us and NIOS.

Best regards to your out esteemed family and hope that your influence is spreading more and more.

HpS

Gracias por la carta. Pido disculpas por haber tardado 10 días en responder. Nos ha llevado tiempo recuperarnos de los viajes y, por supuesto, todos sabemos que las fuerzas físicas y mentales del pasado 55 han terminado. Ahora tenemos que trabajar con nuestra inteligencia.

No le hemos pedido específicamente a nadie que se encargue de guiar a nuestros discípulos en ninguna pais. Claro Jayapataka Swami, Radhanatha Swami toma esta papel diferente que yo in detalle, pero personalment no le hemos pedido específicamente a nadie que se encargue de guiar a nuestros discípulos en ninguna pais.

Cualquiera que conozca la ciencia de Krsna puede dar consejos. Si hemos tomado segunda iniciación y estamos siguiendo el proceso, entonces ciertamente podemos dar consejos, pero cualquiera que conozca la ciencia puede dar consejos en términos de su desarrollo, ¿no?

Además, esperamos que aquellos que han sido iniciados durante muchos años en ISKCON hayan desarrollado un buen conocimiento de esta ciencia, pero ese no es siempre el caso. Podemos venir con conocimiento, no podemos seguirlo tan estrictamente como una persona más joven.

Yo soy funcionando como Diksa guru para unos, pero para nosotors ese es como el sacerdote, Brahmana, quien haz la matrimonio. Es un fomalidad pero no sin significado. Tambien estoy funcionando como Siksa guru. Es normal como tomamos Diksa guru a uno quien es nuestra Siksa guru prominent.

Si no son transparent a Srila Prabhupada, todo tipo de servicio como 'Guru' es invalido.

Entonces, puede tomar Siksa, consejo, de otros discipulos, Diksa de nosotros, o de discipulos de otro Diksa gurus. Todos son modos ser discipulo de Srila Prabhupada y ultimament El Guru Supremo, Krsna!

We could not connect to www.startmeeting.com to broadcast our "keynote address" for the Bhaktivedanta Medical Association symposium from here at ISKCON Houston.

Ooof! You feel bad. We feel bad, very bad!! Very bad.

Ooof! Ooof! I guess the only solution is to admit that we are not the Paramatma, Supreme Controller of the material nature, nor are completely sincere servants of God.

Humph!!! Hurray Krsna!!! Hurray Krsna!!!... 3.50AM. We head for the Temple, Nila-madhava Dhama in a few minutes. It is five minute walk from the Sannyasi ashrama. Yesterday we did the Keynote, then we met with Giriraja Swami et al, then we went with NgD et al on a tour of the Goswami Academy with Subra devi dasi and Caitanya-caritamrta Das and in the evening five like interviews were arranged with three to seven people. Then... hot milk but not so much Krsna book.

We saw an educational video on how to repair cars.

Well.... Hare Krsna.... Our intelligence, plans, projects, will only be as organized as the Maha-mantra desires. Draws the mind (Man Tra) into shape.

Today we give the SB class at 7.30AM local time.

See you there.

See you in Mangala-arati!!!!!

Hare!!!!!

Hare Krsna Gurudev, please accept my humble obeisances ____o_

All glories to Srila Prabhupada🌷

All glories to you🌼

Because of you, I begin to understand Srila Prabhupada's books. I remember hearing your classes for the first time and feeling how everything became to have sense and depth meaning.

Because of your effort to keep us busy in Krishna consciousness, to constantly inspire us, to be so exemplary and transparent is reason that I can make some advance in spiritual life.

Your words guide me through this vast philosophy, in which I would be lost if it weren't for the perspective you show us.

The power of your realizations give strength to my faith.

HpS - AGTSP paoho We have only been able to make any physical or intellectual progress because Srila Prabhupada keeps pulling us! Personally we are lazy, greed, selfish, cruel! AGTSP!!! By his mercy we can hope to make progress and become and angel again!

You are a living proof that this process is genuine and works. Your unconditional love, your patience and generosity feed my bhakti creeper, which struggles to grow in the middle of so many weeds.

I want to offer you my existence, I want to leave all selfishness, illusion and obstacles to be a useful particle in this great Sankirtan movement.

🌼

P/D: Happy Birthday!!

HpS - Thank you. You are a good mother, good wife, good devotee (of course you have some few things to improve. 😂) Thank you for your association. Take Krsna and give Krsna wherever you go!!!

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada,

Todas las glorias a Usted.

Gracias a usted es que pude comenzar a entender los libros de Srila Prabhupada. Recuerdo escuchar sus primeras clases y sentir como todo cobraba sentido y mayor profundidad. 

Gracias a su esfuerzo en mantenernos ocupados, en constantemente inspirarnos, en ser tan ejemplar y transparente, que yo puedo hacer algún avance. 

Sus palabras me van guiando en medio de esta filosofía tan vasta, en la cual estaría perdida si no fuera por la perspectiva que usted nos muestra. 

La potencia de sus realizaciones fortalecen mi fe.

Usted es la prueba viviente de que este proceso es genuino y funciona. Su amor incondicional, su paciencia y generosidad alimentan mi planta del bhakti, que lucha por crecer en medio de tantas malas hierbas.

Quiero ofrendarle mi existencia, Quiero desprenderme de todo el egoismo, de la ilusion y las trabas para ser una partícula útil en este gran movimiento de Sankirtan.

Su aprendiz de sirviente
