ASA - What about the role of lady devotees in ISKCON administration: Temple President, Wife of Temple President etc??

What about Initiations???

All Glories to Sri A.C. Prabhupada Maharaja, Sri Sripada Maharaja, Sri HpS Maharaja Ki Jay!

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay and Gourabhakta Vrnda Ki Jay!

Dandavat Pranam Guruji Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja’s padmacaran  that I  could not get any reply of three letter written after returning from Navadwip Prikrama. I am so eager to hear Gurujis amritabani like a fish without water.

HpS - AGTSP!!  Paoho.  We feel the same way, but this USA/South America Tour is so intense. We are doing even four programs in one day. In in six days we were in six different cities and six different airplanes. Very good result but no chance to do mail!!

Ambarisa das and Madhavendra puri Das and their families who came to Manipur with us a few years ago and stayed in the Nature Cure Ashrama have pictures of Manipur on there walls at home and send their best wishes to everyone. 

As Guruji is so busy all the time, it may be the reason but for the last 2 to 3 weeks I could not hear any good news. I regularly watching the blog and see other's reply. Is there any commit mistake from my side. If so, please excuse  and guide us all the time. May Radha & Krsna bless Guruji.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Of course there is no mistake on your side!   We just answer letters marked "Urgent" and then pick some here and there by random.  There two pages of letters we have not answered yet!

We think Gaurangi is in communication with the devotees in Mexico for World Dance Day and maybe it will be the start of some cultural exchanges, even of university students. You are the good news. Manipuri Sanskriti is the good news!

What is Yatra news!

I know you are giving classes!!

Nanuk Ji,

Thank you for the letter. Hare Krsna.  We are still in this South America tour and have so much time with devotees that we can't really answer much mail. Back to our Base Camp on May 2nd.  Best wishes for your mission.

Dear Guru Maharaja:

All the glories to Sri Sri Radha Krishna

All the glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you

Please accept my humble obeisances

How are you? I'm resending this letter, I don't know if it got lost in a bunch of hundred of letters 

I enjoy sharing my thoughts with you, so I´m going to do it. Also I need it.

Sometimes when I travel in the train to work, I visualize in my mind Lord Vishnu in the people's hearts, then the whole train is full of him, the Lord is everywhere, He´s watching me and I watching him, we are looking at each other. Paramatma, my partner in my heart, I talk to him very often, When we go to do something new I say: We are going to an adventure! We are having fun, not always, sometimes I have bad days but when I remember that I´m never alone It gets better.

Sometime ago I wrote you about Micaela, one of my best friends, she left the body a year and a half ago, I miss her so much, I think if she took birth in a human body she could be a baby now, sometimes when I see a baby I ask myself if she is. The other day I saw an image of Lord Gauranga with tears in his eyes, I had tears in my eyes too because I was thinking on Micaela and how much I miss her, my feelings are material?

HpS - Probably 50%, no? Don't give up the feelings, purify them.

I know that lament is on tama guna, I suffer when I see someone is suffering, more than anything materially, but then I remember that all the jivas who don´t remember the Lord are suffering. In this case I should feel compassion for all in this material world. I don´t want anyone suffering, I want to be a good preacher because when they know about Sri Krsna the suffering is going to end. How can I become in a preacher?

HpS - By becoming a good "preached", student!

Yours in Srila Prabhupada´s service

Kirtida Devi Dasi

HpS - See you in a few days!!! Take books with you, then Krsna will give you a chance to give them to innocent people, devotees.

Querido Gurumaharaja

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Gracias a Palika pude escuchar Sus clases en Perú, mi familia vive más retirado de la Perla-Callao y me hubiera sido muy difícil llegar por mi cuenta cada mañana.  Palika, Parvati, Prabhu Caturatma y sus padres fueron muy  amables conmigo al darme hospedaje.
