Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada. 

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias Gurudeva, por ahora llevamos bien nuestro sadhana (16 rondas 4 principios), hoy 26 de Octubre se presentó por parte del Festival Internacional de Santa Lucía "danza clásica de Manipur" y con mi familia presenciamos diferentes danzas y mi esposo recordó cuando viajó con usted a Manipur, al final conocimos al elenco y mi esposo habló un poco en manipuri con un músico del grupo de danza fue muy interesante, no tengo las palabras sobre mi experiencia pero fue increíble la oportunidad de apreciar en vivo la danza rasa de Manipur.

Mi esposo se encuentra muy bien de salud, él tiene diferentes proyectos de negocios y mantenemos el restaurante.

Mis pequeños hijos continúan creciendo y mi maternidad por ahora está muy bien con mis actividades de sadhana y trabajo diseño gráfico en mis tiempos libres en casa, continuo la lectura en las mañanas y cuidar y atender mi hogar.

Le agradezco su tiempo y cada dia en mis oraciones pedimos por su salud y bienestar, le anexo fotografías que tomé en el Festival...

hPs - ASA   - Increible.   TlgaSP.   Quien llevo las bailarines?????   Reverencias a todos.  Esta en ruta a Goloka.

All Gloris to Sri Guruji Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Prabhupada

Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay, Radha Krsna Ki Jay,

Goura Bhakta Vrinda Ki Jay

Guruji Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji Maharaja’s padmacharan that I had already informed to H H Haridasa Swami Maharaja and Sarda Gourangi D D about Gurujis tour programme in India. A final date will be suggested from their side and they will directly inform or write unto You or to me. In their openion the programme may be at Mayapur, it will be convenient of Guruji and all initiated bhaktas and matajis of N.E. States (Manipur, Silchar and Guwahati, Agartala) during Guruji’s stay at Mayapur.  Please suggest the convenient dates. We are eagerly waiting Gurujis Amritabani.

After that we can stay in Mayapura and associate with devotees, but Gaura-purnima is 21st March. So devotees will be coming before that and it will be difficult to get accomodations and other facilities. Maybe good to travel to some place in the Northeast. March 27th we have to be in Bombay!!

Last Sunday, the 14^th Oct. 2018 a book “Madanamohan” was released with a grand function with K. Shyam Singh, Cabinet Minister of Manipur State as Chief Guest, Prof. H. Tombi Singh, former V.C. of Manipur University and present V.C. of UBC as Guest of Honour and Principal of Jawaharlal Nehru Dance Academy preside the function. 

On 19^th Oct. the Tirobhava of Dr. T. D. Singh, Sripada Maharaja will be organized at ISKCON Imphal, Radha Krishnachandra Mandir. Some bhaktas and matajis from Thoubal will participate including me.

My personal sadhana is reading Bhagavatam regularly with reference to Gita and on Sunday or Holidays I read C.C.; BRS, NOI, NOD etc. following the four principles and 16 rounds of chanting.

HpS - !!!!  !   ! !!.

My family members are all fine. My wife is also practicing her sadhana regularly. My daughter who is working at Bangalore is coming home on the 2^nd Nov.  Her engagement will be during Nov. and probably the marriage ceremony will be in the month of Feb. or March next year. My son is living as it is without earning from any side. Please advice him through this block.

HpS - Canakhya Pandita says that poverty cannot stay where there is constant effort, ignorance cannot stay where there is constant recitation of the Vedas (SB) and sinful reaction cannot stay where there is constant chanting of the Holy Names.    So.....   your son should keep endeavoring for some productive position. If he sees that he needs more qualification, more education, more preliminary qualifications, then he should adquire them.   He should work to get work.

O.K.?       Of course, the Pandavas were un-engaged for 14-years in the forest. Krsna has His plans about our work.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - What is the content of the Madan-mohan book?    What are you reading in CC??

HpS - Jaya!    Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.  Su ayuda en Arrequipa era inestimable!!!    Como esta occupado?  Trabajo?   Estudios???    Cual es su Karma????

Hare Krisna beloved Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

I know you are quite busy with your tour and preaching.

We were reading BG chapter 6 and I don't understand well the difference between the concepts of  brahma bhuta and samadhi.

Can you explain further please?

Thank you so much,

At your service,

Nikunja bihari das.

HpS - AGTSP.   paoho.  Yes.   When we stay in our cave in Nashville we can answer letters. The only human contact we have is when we go to our walk with NGD in the evening, but when we travel we are in contact with new people constantly  and need to talk about things.   Letters and personal contact. How to balance.

So nice to write to people, to you.

About 11-men, scholars, professors, are here in our rented luxury flat in Lima for the conference. They are so nice, so much stimulating each other. Then when we go to the public program they, we, all want to hear their public presentations.

Hope this network can contribute something to help the world.

https://www.vedabase.com/en/bg/18/54      -   This comes to mind.  Samadhi means to fix the mind on one thing.    Brahma bhuta means Brahman realization, there is a reality, I don't die, but there is no Paramatma, universal, congnizeable reality eg. Male and Female is an Eternal Reality.   I can know it.  Then if I apply that eternal knowledge I get eternal happiness. Sati, Cit, ANANDA.

Samadhi may mean to fix the mind, in a superficial, general sense, upon the Deity. Then there is no material relation, no sufering. It is  the beginning. Then..  I can meditate, Samadhi, on Krsna's smile, mercy, power.  More like Cit.   O.K?

Dear Maharaj,

Please accept our obeisances and respect, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope you are well and happy.

We have been with a lot of things, preparing our next year trip to India with people (in feb. we took 7 people), organizing our Yoga teacher training & Ayurveda counsultant Courses, studying, etc. We are so happy to know you´re coming to Chile soon. 

We are honoured again to host a class from you here in our school, and we will like to know which subjects/topics you would like to address. 

We are working a lot with,obviously, Yoga and Ayurveda, but also with Bhakti Yoga, vedic psychology, health in all it´s aspects, Bhagavad Gita, etc.

You have something in mind regarding this?

Your aspiring servant

Vishvanath CT dasa

HpS - Tried, AGTSP... paoho..., to respond to this two days ago but it kept bouncing.  Try again.   Also responded through Carlos.   Basically you know the audience and our talents well enough to suggest some topics.   We can only suggest that you Shoot for the Rhinocerous.  Think about the most wonderful result of the program would be e.g. the President of Peru comes to the program with the Minister of Education, and design the program that way.

All Glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

All Glories to you

We are adjusting a couple of specific dates because the confirmed Maha Visnu Swami's visit (6 to 12th November), and also taking on consideration your feedback. So, now here are the updates and the only urgent question is in bold (is urgent because is connected with the November 3^rd Saturday program).

We proposed your two titles to the temple president and he is happy not just with them also with your consideration of his proposals.

We added the Upadesamrita 10 to the subtitle to the 31st November program about Radha Kunda.

Regarding the community retreat, we are thinking that could be too much if we have a workshop and if we spend the night there. Actually, Is in red in the visual calendar because is not completely confirmed. We are thinking with Arjuna and Priyasakhi how to do it. Maybe somewhere close to the temple, and even more simple.

Now, the first important change is the November 3rd, Saturday program. Now, the project of the “new Temple” in Maipú would be this day. The reason is an invitation to you for the next Saturday, which is below.

We also changed the spiritual family breakfast to this Sunday, 4th November because of you noticing us about the fasting of the next Sunday.

Maha Visnu Swami

Now, we received the confirmation of the visit of the Maha-Visnu Swami with the Harinama Ruci Group. So, we offer him to give the class of the Prabhupada's Night, November Friday 9th, and his disciples took it happily.

Now, this is the question. The Chilean harinam team are managing a Maha-Harinama with Maha Visnu Swami in Viña del Mar (very close to Valparaíso) and they are dreaming with the possibility that you could join them there. They know already about the flags. Do you think that is possible for you to participate in this Harinama? They rent a bus for 45 devotees already. To take more advantage of this trip we could manage a little program for the devotees who are living in this city, to encourage them more, maybe a lunch or something similar. This final, is just my idea, Maybe is not the best.

HpS - ASA -- Seems we could go and chant. We come and go in one day?  Lot of work. Must have time for resting as well as working.    Conflict is: EVERY SATURDAY we have a SB workshop online. It is from 8.30-9.30AM Nashville (Houston) hour, which is 10.30-11.30AM Santiago hour, as far as I understand. We can do this workshop?

And finally, Maharaja is agrees with to have a double class with you to the Srila Prabhupada Disappearance Festival. What do you think?

HpS - Sure!   Very nice.

-

Your lecture: “BG 2.7. Now I am confused about my duty” the second one proposed by Amara Prabhu, finally would be on November 16th, Friday.

-

Now, I think that we are reaching the final edition of this calendar. Last year we had this “almost final edition” too much early, excuse me for that. 

Probably, I travel to “Lo Arte y Lo Sagrado – Lima”, but I think that is better to finish this before the great event. Let me know if we can talk for telephone this Monday.

Thank you very much for let us serve you.

Hare Krsna.

Jagad Guru Das

HpS - Jaya!    AgtSP!      Paoho.      Hope your family is well!!!       The final Calendar seems pretty good.  Seems to be time for meeting with devotees personally and our regular international work.<img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> I will try to call you now.

We tried three times to respond to your last letter. I would not go. Other letters went. Letter frm Vsvantha also jammed.
