paoho

M/P here. HAre Krsna! It is so easy to get depressed while moving forward in devotional service and then take shelter of mundane Rasa eg. Banana split, Hot fudge sunday etc. Steadiness in spiritual life means steady relationships with Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON devotees, and others. Of course, in ISKCON there are different kinds of devotees ie. NOI-5.

Here we are thinking of our female disciples sometimes when we write. That is not too good because we are in Sannyasa ashrama, but they write and maintain service relationship, but we have to keep male devotees more in the center. Turn the Vyasa-asana a little to the boys and less to the girls.

Here we are all Monkey Warriors looking for Sita! Sankirtan!

I wish we had Godbrothers who were more interested in our Sankirtan focus eg. Prof. C. G. Jung and Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami.

O. K. chant some more rounds. SB class was combined with Boise devotees. Was nice. Lot of time on the Peru administration work, but in proportion.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj

Please accept my humble obeseinces. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Thank you so much Guru Maharaj for replying to my previous letter. It was so peaceful to read your letter. No words to express that feeling.

HpS - AGTSP paoho. So sorry that it has taken some time to answer. I guess you can see our situation in the DTCs here and the Kapi Dhvaja.

Guru Maharaj I have read the verses which you have told me to read and also the Guru tatva document.

Prabhupada has beautifully explained the importance of a spritual master in our life and has told to approach a bona fide spiritual master in the line of disciplic succession.

Therefore I would like to surrender myself to you Guru Maharaj and would like to engage myself in your service.

Guru Maharaj I am following the four regulative principles and chanting 16 rounds daily. Somedays I miss my rounds but keep account of it and try to complete it. Please forgive me Guru Maharaj. I will try to catch up my rounds and complete them.

Guru Maharaj I would like to thank you for letting us do deity worship. This keeps me so engaged in devotional service. I like to dress Nitai Navadwip Chandra and I feel that I want to spend hours doing this service. Everyday I get up and think of how should I dress them and serve them. Sometimes we both can feel the reciprocation from them.

Everything with regard to them affects us deeply. And now we have started worshipping tulasi maharani and we feel the same reciprocation from her.We also got attached to our Tulasi Maharani and are trying to take care of her in the best possible manner. We need your blessings Guru Maharaj in whatever small things we do in our spritual life.

By your mercy Guru Maharaj we got a chance to serve Mukunda Dutta Prabhu by cooking breakfast for him. It was such a blissful experience.

I would like to share our experience with you the next time I meet you Guru Maharaj.

Eagerly waiting to meet you Maharaj.

Please let me know if I could serve you in any way possible.

Your aspiring servant

HpS - It was very, very nice to see you, Srinatha and brother in Houston! Thank you for your association. We answered a few questions then. Any more now??? There are obvious steps in your spiritual life: Get fixed in chanting all your rounds, making them up promptly if one day you fall behind, get your Ashrama, Grhastha Ashrama, situation clear.

Please send more news of ISKCON Dallas from time to time!!!

Hare krishna.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Acepte por favor mis reverencias.

Mi nombre es Ever, mi actividad conductor de trenes, tengo estudios terciario y estoy muy comprometido con mi avance espiritual, que por ende redunda en todos los seres que quiero.

 Por misericordia de Krishna, encontré en usted, una fuerte inspiración que me lleva a servirlo en su causa de mantener la misión de Srila Prabhupada. 

  Se me ha informado que existe una formalidad para acceder a su refugio. Por lo tanto esta es mi presentación, y seguiré los pasos que usted me indique para obtener su misericordia.

 Soy de Buenos Aires. Eh ido a los programas y conferencias que dicto tanto en mi ciudad como en Mar del Plata. De los cuales quede muy agradecido y entusiasta por seguir la misión de Srila Prabhupada.

 Acepte nuevamente mis reverencias, quien desea descubrir y expandir este maravilloso tesoro de vivir en conciencia de Krishna bajo su refugio.

Un tonto aspirante a sirviente

Jay govinda.

HpS - Gracias. Estuvimos hablando durante nuestra ultima visita a Chosica con presencia de Karuna krsna Das. Puede describir los detalles de los formalidades de primero y segundo iniciacion , fechas, quien era el guru etc. ? Gracias. Krsna conoce nuestra corazon, no? Estas formalidades tiene valor pero mas es nuestra sinceridad.

Only nine letters unanswered. Some from [AGTSP] long time ago.

Was hot and humid all day and now a BIG THUNDERSTORM crashed in at 5.30PM. Now it is 5.48. It was like the sky was falling.

We really tried to focus in what Srila Prabhupada wanted, need, for Bhoga today and it is so satisfying to the heart.

Sometimes we get stomach aches. Management for example can give us stomach aches, and we try to solve the problem by quickly offering some convenient thing eg. V8 juice and honey, but today we just let our body suffer, maybe even die, and try to offer what Srila Prabhupada needs personally.

At 10AM we offered Kitri of rice and dahl, carrot, celery, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and tomato,,, and robust baked potatoe.

At 4PM we offered pudding with some walnuts.

We have been handling the paper work necessary to finish up the meetings yesterday. Computer gives us headaches if too much.

A lot of people are getting ready for Balarama purnima.

O.K. Lettuce sea if the sky clears enough for a walk with NGD and Vija Narrain Prabhu.

No books out today.

Dear Gurumaharaj 

Pamho , AgtSp 

I been thinking aabout my second initiation , In the past I got a recommendation from Ramai Swami but due to some setbacks with the local management, it didn’t go forward and couldn’t even sit the exam. 

At present there is no public activities here with the Ashram/ temple , since the council close the premises to host Sunday programs, festivals et all , and also [........................................................] , there is time to reflect , re organise and show commitment with the congregation members .

Another topic that I like to let you know is that II been contemplating the idea of relocating to U.S. more exactly in Houston . One reason is because DHANANJAYA is already 4 Years old and for me is very important about his education in a more supportive devotional environment .

Here in Oz we got gurukula in New Govardhan Farm but there is no work for me close to it , Since all big hospitals are very far from the Farm . Goswami Academy looks like a good option for my son .

Besides in the past I asked to Patita pavana das and his wife Abhaya mudra ( they are our Jyothishis /Consultants ) to make an Astrocartographical report for me in which I know how I am configúrated for the whole world and in that particular area all along central U.S . And its western coast I have very favourable lines to live and expand my sankirtan . The place that I living currently it show his influence on me as well but mostly with my career , job opportunities.

As a single parent there is a lot of big challenges ahead I m still doing non clinical work , as a Medical Instrument Technitian .

Well, I will see how the flow will go with me in the short future .

Thank you for your time

Please , from the bottom of my heart forgive my offenses

And the lack of communication with you

But really I feel unworthy 

Sincerely 

Your servant

HpS - Thank you. It is so hard to criticize anyone doing management. It is a hard service. Managing six kids or managing six temples. Your ideas seem nice. I usually have my desires and push firmly for some time but if it doesn't happen then I stop. Several times when I gave up there were miraculous events that any simple person would see as the hand of God.
