Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

It is 35(2)-degrees outside and cool inside. We have the office, bedroom, cave room on half heater so we can heat up the bath room. Then we can take a final bath.

Full Morning Program. Nice discussion of Matsya Avatar. Always need to step back and see how the stories are important to our life, our Sankirtan.

Then banking and three calls to Dr. Samaresh about Gaudiya Math Symposium in April. More travel work that we can do. Have to accept what the devotees can do to help us in India. Hard to plan it all from here. Devotees in India cannot do a lot of organizing in advance.

Then banking - NIOS money, ASA money ...

Our computer fan seems to have died and now the screen is cloudy and hard to read. We will leave it in Houston for Gopinatha Das to look at. Indication from Krsna that we should only take our smart phone and Blue tooth keyboard? But our right knee is better! Srila Prabhupada says that material life means trading a back ache for a head ache.

Then drove to Walmart and replaced our cane, looked for one cup microwaveable container but could not find. May have one here. Got toothpaste, reading glasses and frozen orange juice.

Offered almonds, walnuts, apple, banana, little milk (don't want to abuse the cows), and frozen orange juice in the blender etc. Brother Ass took to much but he is pretty stressed by the cold, age etc.

Read a little KRSNA book, world classical literature, nap, back to work. Finished accounting with calls to Abhaya, Abhiseka, NgD and several more. Gaura-Arati on line. All the Urgent (except for Isvaris) letters and all the old ones to one week ago.

No article writing.

O.K. 8.38PM. Bath in the HOT tiny, weak floored bath room and some more Krsna book.

See you in FMP.

Thank you for the association, letters, online programs. Upendra Called with good ideas. Talked with Radhika about the India trip.

Hare Krsna. We live in a bubble of time and space dominated by the feet of His Divine Grace.

Bueno guru maharaj, respondiendo a su carta, le había escrito antes de que usted fuera a perú, pero luego nos encontramos en chile, allí estuvimos con usted en octubre-noviembre, junto a la muy buena asociación de panca tattva, piero (fiero), etc. Muy agradecido de todos esos días, muy agradecido por sus enseñanzas, además la compañía de ss maha visnu swami y harinam ruci, realmente me siento bendecido.

HpS - ASA --- TlgaSP!!! Era la misma para nosotros.

El año 2018 ha sido muy bueno para mi, de mucho crecimiento y

autoconocimiento, muchas balas al soldado, ropa sucia, pero seguimos en la batalla!

El año 2018 estuvimos viviendo en el templo de buenos aires argentina, siguiendo los programas, distribuyendo libros, prasada, harinama sankirtan, etc. Tuvimos la oportunidad de ir a Brasil por 1 mes y predicamos, conocimos muchos templos y distintas maneras de prédica, desde la ecovilla de purusatraya swami hasta las charlas viajeras de chandramukha swami, todo muy bello… estas experiencias son como ver la forma universal de Krisna con sus diferentes encarnaciones y manifestaciones, los devotos de radha y krishna son lo mas hermoso.

Tengo muchos deseos de más aventuras, pero como le comenté en chile, necesito darle importancia a la salud. Hace poco me dieron el diagnóstico de mis dolencias y es pinzamiento femoroacetabular o femoroacetabular impingement (fai), es una lesión a la cadera que provoca dolores en muchas partes, en unos días más comienzo con kinesiología y espero que pueda mejorar y seguir predicando y aportando un grano de arena a la misión de iskcon

muchas gracias por existir

su sirviente mandara sakha das

HpS - Muchas gracias. El cuerpo puede occuparnos 25-horas cada dia si nos permita. Tengo problemas tambien. Trata adjustar como es posible y tomamos refugio de Krsna hacer lo que quiere, entonces relalizamos Sankirtan como podemos. Aparece que conoce esta muy bien. Si tiene que dejar el cuerpo para purificar su alma, lo hace! Mejor burro esperando.

Dear Gurudeva, please if you wish it, I accept [offer] my humble and respectful obeisances. All the glories to Srila Prabhupada. I am in the administrative commission as a 2 alternate vowel and is for all the Argentina [Not clear. You are doing some administrative service!] . And in the play of the Ratha Yatra I was doing several voices that of Citraketu Maharaja, that of the guards and the voice in off that presents history and my son Hair of 10 years made the role of the prince, it was very inspiring for all, from that day Heri began to sing 2 rounds of the Mahamantra daily and everything we owe it to you dear Gurudeva. Prostrate at your feet of lotus Nanda Raja das.

HpS - Very nice to hear from you. HOw many children do you have? Where are you working?

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP PAMHO

Another year Gurudeva !!!

I have heard that in the VP offering one must talk about the qualifications of the Guru and not talk too much about ourselves. But You in your dealings with devotees are so personal that I just can recall precious moments with U in my 💓. Thanks for your support for putting up with all my laziness, stupidity,etc.

When I felt that the whole world left me You are always there. Light in the dark lighting my path. With You I just found the greatest treasure, but I am such an idiot that during all these years I continue blind. So as it is stated in ISO 15 hiranmayena patrena. Please Kindly remove the cover of misfortune that takes me away from Krsna and You.

Thanks for sharing with us your most intimate time at FMP. Thanks for setting with your personal example the standard of a disciple of our Acarya. A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada.

Whoever puts in contact with you his/her life is never the same. They always recall You with sincere respect and love. SP says that a pure devotee just with His smile can convert the mass of people Krsna conscious. Please continue giving us your refreshing smile. Your sincere and humble 💓 that inspire us to continue. Thanks for pulling up the rope and trying to help me to get out of this mess that is material life.

The best thing of each year is that You are always there. I promise to improve my annual report this year.

Happy and useful Sri Vyasa Puja Beloved Gurudeva

Trying to be your disciple

Candramukhi dd

HpS - We also answered the letter about your mother. Who will leave their body first, you or me? So we need a transcendental connection. Chant, Chant, Chant. That is the only solution, it is the best solution, it is a simple solution. It solves all problems in the best way.

And remember they do have Designer Clothes in Goloka! Your association is great. In this world or in Goloka people will always like you and want to be your friend!

All glories to Srila A.C Baktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

All glories Ss hanumatpresaka Swami

Dear Guru Maharaja please accept my humble and respectful obeisances at your lotus feet, let some of this dust fall on your head your humble servant

HpS - If we get any from Srila Prabhupada we will pass it on!

Several events have happened since my last letter, for the mercy of Krsna at the beginning of the year my wife became pregnant, the pregnancy lasted only two months, the embryo did not develop and a heart never beat, we do not know Krsna's plans, my wife recovered

HpS - Srila Prabhupada wrote to Mahi-Bharata Das in a similar case that some times a Yogi has just a little bit of Karma to finish so Krsna let's him pass 2-months in the womb of a devotee, take Prasadam and then go to Goloka!

We have worked on what followed me in our last letter, adoration at home, a small morning program, offering food, some music and in the afternoon a small offering, my wife helped me a lot so that this can be done and my son he likes to play the cártalos, as well as to open and close the altar of the house, we continue in the temple on Sundays in my service, now I am in the pujarís room keeping the clothes of the deities and sleeping to Prabhupada on Sundays.

We continue in the bhakti sastri in line with mother Candramukhi devi das de Peru, we absent ourselves a little for lack of laskmi but we already resumed the course, we also studied the second initiation course with Prabhu jiva sakti das online every Saturday with the We finished in mid-October, we took a Jaya course with Prabhu Setukara Das as well as the baghavagita study guide.

Talk to mother Asta Sakti devi das about taking second initiation, we already have the temple recommendation letter

This year we are also studying a degree in business administration, online as well

We hope to serve you a little the smallest of all your humble servant Mandali Bhadra Das

HpS - Hare Krsna! We cannot remember you! Awk. We saw you in Mexico??? We have a rough memory of you but no details. Who are you? (Good question, no?)

Pamho, AGT SP!

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva! Hope you are fine in all aspects. So many time not reporting here, i think since you were here in Cordoba, life comes with intension, minds and hearts moves with tempest intensity when forgettin its life porpuse, getting clean making visible the soul chanting.

This has been a harsh nd soft year, still in a long long adaptation to life with a baby, a spouse with baby, very sweet and very sour. Continue developing my work with yoga, meditation, sound therapy, ayurveda,Astrology. Many oportunities sharing the names of Radha Krishna in that enviorment and then is when life gets real sense. Also started studying a degree in Psychology.

This last November I was as from 2012 i think carrying foward the meditation area of the Ratha Yatra of Bs As, but this time it was really enormous, many many people in the RY, much more than normaly, and like 200 inocent people chanting japa on beads for first time :)

Principles are OK, following, rounds are 16 most of the times, but some days could not finish them and not always recovering them, trying to improve Sadhana so life could also get better in every aspect, really belive in this. With some projects/ideas seeking internal strength to accomplish…Doing some programs at home eventualy , mostly festivals and when important personalitys come, yesterday we do a projection of the Hare Krishna movie with pizza, lemonade, popcorn, etc, like 40 devotees come, a big number for cordoba. 

Now we are organizing for your VP a little festival in here, I read you are planning visitin argentina like may, june, hope you can come here this time again.

Thank very very much Gurudeva, for all your efforts,service and presence.

Tring to become a disciple,

Madhavendra Puri Das
