We really see that our enthusiasm in devotional service seems to be influenced by the modes of material nature. Astrologically it is a Tamasic time and we get so many confused letters with reports of extreme lethargy. We feel the same way.

O.K. This happens.

We have 13-rounds done. We had to struggle to get them done. We did our Hawaii class with great effort. We have been feeling exhausted all day. Partly our donkey just seem to be getting old, but he is also getting wiser. So thing is to do what you can. Then that service will generate intelligence.

Hare Krsna!

16-nice rounds.

Association of devotees. Pick a few, respond to all of those who smile at you!

Projects follow well.

Whatever little service you do has an ETERNAL EFFECT in waking up your original powers.

Thank you!!!

All over the world there are exhausted devotees like you and me who did SOMETHING for Srila Prabhupada today. Maybe 30% of what they hoped to do, but that's all over the world! People get motivated just by seeing a Dhoti or Saree and act differently. The light goes out!

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Being able to talk with such an exalted personality as yourself is a great benediction.

HpS - You are like Lord Siva! https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/4/4/12/

This blog is a tirtha in itself!! Your qualities are the ones of a great vaisnava!! Is so inspiring having your association, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Living at Sri Govardhana, very nice, many challenges. Living with devotees, purification. Service to the vaisnavas is the safest position!!

Going to morning program three times a week. Lately little less. I guess I´m starting to have like a burn out syndrome. Such a passionate dog.

16 rounds ok, but some days we can not finish them, we cry for that. 4 p ok.

Julieta my wife she is super good companion, perfect medicine for my big big false ego. She takes care of manu, benja and i very nicely!! Thank you Krishna!!

Manu is becoming an adolescent, many thoughts, looking for a perspective in his life. I´m praying a lot for him. He went camping for three days with school, he told me that he preached to a mate, Joaquin, and he said he will become a vegetarian and a Hare Krishna. He saw a pig being slaughtered, and a picture of Hanuman in a videogame. Manu told him about our phylosophy and he will give him a mala to start doing japa!!

Benji is super sweet, very romantic boy, he plays drums and is taking theather lessons. He is very aware of dharma and super sensitive. One can realize about jiva tattva looking at kids growing up.

I feel blessed for being able to raise my family within Iskcon atmosphere. Such a great place to be!!

UG - We need more kids in ISKCON! Polygamy! Every women can have five kids and love them like anything!

Tomorrow we go to bs as to a Junta Nacional meeting. Many projects and ideas to make Iskcon argentina great again!! (Trump???).

UG - As we see it from our limited perspective Trump tempts people to Make America Great Again, but proposes it by increasing the stupid habits that made it fall down.

Thank you Gurudev for all your austerities and the great example you set for all of us!!

Your passionate fool aprentice,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Hare Krsna. Center is 16-nice rounds. 4-princples strictly. etc. etc. Some basic standard then Krsna will take care of us. He pays 5-cents for each nice maha-mantra that we chant!

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

HpS - AGTSP. Please accept our humble disasters

Great you are coming to Argentina!!

HpS - We think so too.

Are you coming to Mar del Plata?

What kind of programs you want to focus in? Any suggestion? Art and the sacred, meeting with scholars, interfaith?

Here University closes from july 22nd to august 4th, so if we want to make a program there it should be before that dates!!

We are very happy to receive you,

At your lotus feet,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - No one has contacted us yet about organizing the visit. You want to do it, or see who wants to be the Central Co-ordinator? Based in BsAs with trips to Cordoba and Mar de Plata??? Education and the Sacred? Jung and the Bhagavata Purana?

¡Querido Gurumaharaja! 

¡ Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias! 

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Nuestras oraciones constantes para que el Señor Nrsimhadeva siempre le proteja en sus servicios de prédica y sean un éxito en beneficio de la gente inocente que irán de regreso con Krsna, que Su energía sea completamente bendecida por Sri Krsna para esta labor, oramos humildemente. 

De alguna manera sigo viva, tratando de cultivar el entusiasmo en la vida espiritual. Mi salud está más o menos pero estamos optimistas. 

Ayer iniciamos un taller de 3 sesiones sobre la posición de Srila Prabhupada en ISKCON basado en el manual documento del GBC, el ánimo es ser más conscientes de la posición única de nuestro Fundador Acarya desde el mismo inicio de la vida espiritual y que esto se culvite y se difunda por siempre. 

El taller está dirigido al grupo de aspirantes de SS. Hanumatpresaka Swami y cualquier interesado. 

Facilitador : Isvari dd de Perú 

Colaborador: Bhakta Héctor de México 

Taller semi - Online: nos reunimos en el templo y contactamos por Internet a Isvari y los que no pueden asistir presencialmente. 

Hace unos meses tuvimos otro taller exitoso también con Isvari con el mismo formato. 

Hay cierta preocupación de la comunidad desde hace varios meses por algunos aspirantes de Usted, desde hace meses me cuestionan ¿por qué bhakta Héctor aún no se ha iniciado? 

He explicado que las últimas visitas de Usted han sido muy cortas y en la penúltima visita hubo la situación de la conjuntivitis. 

Ayer platiqué con las nuevas autoridades del Templo, madre Govardhanesvari y su esposo, ellos fueron con Usted hace algunos años, a un seminario de Educación en HOUSTON, devotos estudiosos, jóvenes muy buenos, discípulos de SS. Guruprasad Swami. 

Me confirmaron su deseo de que 3 bhaktas reciban iniciación y 3 iniciados segunda iniciación y si sería posible que se agende para Su próxima visita a México por favor. 

La lista es la siguiente: 

Bhakta Héctor 

Bhaktin Marina

Bhakta Marco Torres 

Karuna Sakti dd.

Laghubhagavatamrta das

Arya Srestha das 

Mandali Badra das (Guadalajara) 

HpS - Ellos tiene que escribir al BLOG! 😐 Aparecen como buen candidatos.

Se hablará con otros devotos acerca de cómo va su sadhana y estándar espiritual y si cabe la posibilidad de obtener la recomendación correspondiente. 

Gurumaharaja si ud está de acuerdo las autoridades pueden enviar las cartas de recomendación.

También hemos solicitado a los aspirantes de que le escriban al blog reportando sus actividades y Usted pueda conocerlos mejor. 

Justamente estos talleres es para servirle a Ud y los devotos y conocernos más a través de asociación con estudio, escuchar como pensamos y tratamos de mantener el entusiasmo con filosofía, Isvari es muy amorosa así que nos ayuda mucho. 

Le agradecemos mucho su atención y enseñanzas, vemos a Srila Prabhupada a través de su prédica. 

Quedamos atentos a sus instrucciones. 

Su eterna aspirante a sirviente 

Asta Sakhi dd. 

HpS - Su seminar aparece muy, muy bien. Esperamos podemos salir del aeropuerto regresando de Peru y ver todo Vds. Iniciaciones en esta momento? 😎

Hare Krsna Maharaj,

PAMHO, AGTSP

You are the light or reflector due to whom we have our hopes , otherwise we could have surrendered to black witch easily.

ASA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esEcwAWi6dk

Finally we have figured currently we are like foot soldier, even though our potential may be of royal counsellor.

We can not jumble up multiple principles, esp can not understand heirarchy according to TPC.

Seems in name of flexibleness we demonstrate fickleness.

With no example to look upon. I think our mind has been able to cheat us a lot.

Mother Urmila also said focus on small things and one thing at a time.

She said be kind to wife, no violence or demeaning language. For to be kind on her we need to kind on our selves.

We have tried to stay alone, but were not able to juggle multiple parameters like

Health (we did get up at 230/330/430/530) regularly but could not manage our energy level

Meal cooked manier times ourselves thanks to your guidance but goofed up on quantity/ over cooked/half cooked. Again energy level fluctuatedm we were able to ensure no onion garlic food for over a year. But can not gurantee of cook or utensil it was cooked.

Rounds somehow chanted average 16 rounds.

Career has been tough race, not able to keep up energy levels. Flawed here many times got rebuked also.

We remember your instruction its best if we can be at good position in university. Or be "sun of knowledge ".. We are not able to make harmonizable/sustainable efforts.

Reading/hearing sb/bg is just going. There is no system. It just somehow goes. Some audio class or dsb or some read.

Our head kept on spinning. Doc says its vaat rog, due to unregulated life, skipping meals (not prepared or in sufficient) .

Many tines we have let down devotee community. How can devotee do/react such things/ way.

It seems karmis are better than me.

ASA - No, real Karmi means he is only interested in himself.

I know manier times you say do what you can do . But than guilt builts up that v r coming down.

And doubt arises what's the gurantee if v come down now, we would come up again.

ASA - Jivera svarupa haya nityera Krsna Das. You nature is to play with Krsna. It will keep coming back. Make progress while the sun shines. Hide when it is dark,.

Our letter seems hay way. But thats best we can give in this moment.

I dont know what to even ask you.

May be what should be our minorities

To, all merciful and strict person.

A foot soldier

HpS - Good letter. We answer your letter and Candra-mukhi Deci Dasi's immediately because we see you in FMP etc. Honestly you seem to be doing O.K. You are struggling with rather deep currents, Karma, and any progress you make is eternal. I have the same problems and Mother Urmila Devi Dasi is right, make progress NOW. Jayananda Das: Don't feel you have to do a great service. Just done ANY service now. That is the best way out. Fix a vow of a certain number of rounds for a certain time eg. 11/day until next Ekadasi and DO IT.

Hare Krsna!!!!! You are on the right path. Keep shooting as the best you can and things will get more and more clear.

Hare Krsna Belovede Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

It is a pleasure to meet U almost everyday at FMP. My heart was so happy when Carlos Rold told me that U asked for me during FMP. Actually as I told U on Tuesdays I do not join the meeting because I have classes until 10:30 pm and I arrive to late at home, and on Tuesdays I have classes early, sometimes I do not join because I am too tired.

I take care of my mom, the nurse helps but, my mother is more comfortable with their daughters. I cook for her, now I am better at that service hahaha. I talk with her, she is not praying she is kind of resentful. It is very tough but it is my duty to serve her, she took care of me many years, it is my turn. I am purifying also. In summer, I was angry with myself because I was taking care of my mom but actually, I did not want to, but now I am doing it out of love. It is a huge experience to see how the tumor is growing, and watch all the suffering is overwhelming sometimes, but I try to just give her love, she is a great soul, she needs another body I hope Krsna put an end to her suffering soon.

At work I teach a new course “Environmental Education” I love it, we talk about how to take care of the earth, we are going to make social help projects. I feel good teaching.

I continue giving gem therapy I like to help. I read about astrology but I just know the basis things. One bhakta called me a witch hahaha I am honored.

 Sraddha:

On January and February You were traveling, my mother almost left her body in a traumatic way. I saw again the movie Brother Sun and Sister Moon, and something touched my heart, I even bought a deity from Saint Francis, but back then, my faith was not so strong. But at nights when I was really sad and mostly tired I arrived to this priest who is a Franciscan Youtuber. I feel really good following the Franciscan path I am now more aware of being a good person, BUT I HAVE TO WORK A LOT WITH MY PATIENCE, I tend to offend people with my words specially to my sister L

I started to follow this Franciscan Youtuber. who I mentioned in an old letter. He helps me a lot. I like his preaching. Actually, all started in summer with the movie brother sun and sister moon, I had watched it before but this time it was different, but it did not last too much. I was a good girl just a couple of days, haha. I also got a Saint Francis deity, and then the priest appeared I guess He is my Siksa also. I am fixed on SP ‘s path, Krsna ‘s path but I guess I am now a Hare Krsna /Franciscan or something like that I am more aware of being a good person now. I am more Krsna Conscious. I guess that U are right I was a nun in my last life, but in this life I wear designer clothes hahaha. I guess that now I am going to have more criticism than ever, but is how I really feel right now.

I do not go to the temple. In Wilson the things are worst, the temple is empty, many offenses, injustices, and even robberies to devotees, they exploit them, they do not cultivate them. I am judging sorry L, but I do not feel inspired to go, Chosica is too far. Excuses, sorry again

My only association is FMP I am too busy, and tired

Am I ok?

HpS - No, but we are a little worse.

Thanks Gurudeva for always being there. Sorry for being an embarrassment for U.

I am attaching a youtube video that I like it so much

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZp8tc3nwic

HpS - Hmmm. He looks a lot like Patrak Das, no???? Hmmmm. Deficil seguir todo el Espanyol perfecto, pero basicamente. Cuantos veces menionca el Nombre de Dios? Hmmmmm? Nombre de Christo? Hmmmm? Pues podemos decir es el primero video. Un invitacion a la gente ser un Santo. Es bueno, no? Pero siento necesitamos Senor Caitanya quien es Dios, deidad de San Francisco quien ya nos da la Ciencia de Krsna.

Hmmm. Tengo 13-rondas. Es un desafio cumplir mis rondas. No tengo mucho energia. Ojos fallando, pero "Hare Krsna", "Hare Krsna" en frente de hermosa, gran pintura de Prabhupada y hay una sendero adelante.

Era interestante enviar unos escritos de SB a esta humilde monje sin identificar de India y ver sus comentarios.

Krsna doesn't waste our skills. If we feel obstacles they are Krsna trying to move us in the right direction full of enthusiasm and significance. Even one inch of progress in your mother's philosophical comprehension will be eternal. Keep looking for ways to communicate the truth to her.

Trying to be your disciple

HpS - Trying to be Srila Prabhupada's disciple and your disciple. You have many qualities that ALL of us respect. Go to Wilson sometimes to dance with Gaura Nitai. Invite them to come to your ashrama????
