Letters to the editor

Hare Krisna!! Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

I want to ask you if you can send here your offering to Srila Prabhupada in occasion of his Vyasa Puja. 

Reading it is very inspiring for me and I guess for many devotees.

I apologize for taking little bit of your precious time.

Adi Yajña Prabhu send his humble obeisances,

Thank you Gurudev,

At your service,

Nikunja Bihari das.

PAMHO

Ufff,  as I told U in my last letter I am nowadays more aware that everybody of us are facing differents challenges.

ASA - "Even the President of the United States must some times stand naked, " Bob Dylan

My mom's cancer is advancing grade 3 to 4, she refuses to have chemotherapy treatment and I respect that, I am more time with her, I said did you chant your rosary today? and she says oh no and started chanting She developed her dharma as a mom pretty well. Ther most amazing thing is that I am not sad or depressed or negative on the contrary I have the strenght to accept what her Karma is, and help her as much as I can, with all the alternative medicine that we have, but most importantly I am there for her giving support, love etc. My sister and I work but we try to be with her as much as we can.

HpS - It is so stupid if we think of death as a bad thing. If nothing else, she is going to have a new body after she finishes this one. So why be so afraid of leave this old wreck?    She must realize that she really has one very close, old friend, Jesus, God, Krsna who is laughing at all her antics in the material world. Whe she looks at Him again, she will see all of her family there, but in truth!!  Get to work. Wonderful progress to make every day.

The lines that I am going to write are not my ego talking I hope,  so haha, but it is very important that we take care of ourselves, spiritually, mentally, because we do not know how many people we are inspiring, some devotees and people in general sometimes aproach me, and due to all the coaching, therapy, years of being a devotee (12 years of having taken second initiation), I feel that in some way or another I have helped them, of course is Krsna using me, but I really love that , I love the feeling of selfconfidence, but that comes after a lot of suffering, something that now I can thank

For instance, Yasoda dd one day before Balaram Purnima called me "Candra can I help you in pujari in the festival? " and I said oh wow I remember your words in a class Gurudeva when U said that SP said "haha You all  now have come to Krsna and now You can not go away"

I was not going to the temple due to my mom 's situation, but this week when I had some free time I went to the temple because is near my job and I had association with Yugala, etc Also Palika she is a extremely nice person I am so lucky to have her as one of my best girlfriends The point is that being in the temple surrounded with devotees reminds me that Srila Prabhupada gave us a BIG FAMILY, a place where everybody can live, I feel supported and safe and that for a girl is very important

Your daily association is our treasure, thank U for that

Yesterday we lead the abhishek, puja, etc for Balaram Purnima, every festival is so useful

Janmastami is on Monday so I can not go to Chosica. Is too far and next day I have classes so my Janmastami is going to be at home with my deities. Umm  maybe I can join another sanga, are you going to have some internet connection for Janmastami?

HpS - ASA -- If live that long at the travel works, we will be in Spain, Brihuega, with Radha Govinda candra and maybe three hundred devotees!!!     Six hours earlier than Peru.  We try to broadcast a lot!!!!  Tweet!    Tweet!!

Thank U Gurudeva I am calm, happy and in peace. nevertheless I know that everthing changes (sukha, dukha) but now I am not a drama queen, haha

Thank U Thank U

Calendar development soon I will write to you about calendar proposals, coordinations with temple authorities, Artd, etc

Hope to see U soon

Trying to be your disciple

HpS -

Lilly told her friend: "When I was in college, there was this one lady. She taught our English class and I could always rely on her to be half way sane, even though all the rest of the school and my life was tumbling this way and that. That was like thirty years ago now. I wonder whatever happened to her. You know I think she was a Hare Krsna. Do you know them?"

Thanks to much for the fotos. See you in a few weeks. (In Lima or Goloka).  Lot of work to do!

Hare Krishna, Maharaj AGTSP PAMHO,

My name is Prema-rasarnava dasa a disciple of Krishna Ksetra Swami, from Argentina, I lived with your disciple Adi Yajña for several years, and served you in some occasions while you visited Buenos Aires Temple. I am married to your disciple Sukanya Sita and we are currently living just 20 minutes from Jara Mara Hari das,  working to establish ISKCON Cantabria in north Spain, and supporting other projects like new Vrajamandala with Erasmus + projects, gathering youth and second generation devotees accross Europe.

I received diksa in 2011 while in Buenos Aires.  My wife recieved Bhakti Sastri in 2011 from MIHE, and since you will be visiting Spain  very soon, I wanted to ask if you consider appropiate that Sita takes diksa from you along with Jara Mara Hari das and Pablo in Nueva Vraja Mandala.

your servants

Prema-rasarnava dasa and Sukanya Sita devi dasi

HpS - Many, many thanks your letter. I have been wonder what happened to you all and just because of that it seems to us that to make decisions about Second Initiation just a few days befor the event is wild! I think it is a good direction to go, so let us work on this while we are in Spain....
