Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO, AGTSP

Maharaja, it has been a long time that I communicated with you. I raed your Kapi Dhwaja regularly. As you may already know, Shatakshi got married to a boy of Mumbai situated in Pune and aspiring from H H Radhanath Maharaja. Both are under the counselling system of Maharaja.

They have their own newly married couple stuggle and both are doing exceptionally well. Aja is in Kingville, Texas and job wise he is trying to get a regular tenured faculty job. Always busy and not chanting very super well and hoping he will fix more time to chant.

My job here in GLA University as Head of the Civil Engineering Dept is very peaceful and nice. I am able to rise at 3:40 am and after full morning program, four principles, and 16 rounds, I go to job at 10 am and return at 6 pm. Driving time is about 15 minutes. Management, faculty and staff here are mostly all brajvasis and there fore lot better consciousness.

They have allowed me to start a 4 credit Open Elective Bhagavad Gita course in English dept. I was able to draft the outcome based syllabus only due to your mercy, guidance, and association through your online Bhakti Sastri and Bhakti Vaibhava classes. What ever little bit of understanding of BG and SB I have is only due to your online classes. The syllabus is attached for your comments.

Maharaja, how is your health and when you are planning to visit India.

With my best regards,

Yours Servants,

Shri Hari Dasa

Hare Krishna dear Gurumaharaja

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Sankirtan Movement of Lord Caitanya

All Glories to your Sankirtan

Hopping you are in better health now

Gurumaharaja,

We wanted to share a little about our actual personal situation in Mexico City but Your health is more important and of course technology media is there to make this more practical.

After a long an exhausted fight with lawyers and Immigration to get my Husband, Ranchor Krishna Das, his Mexican residency, we finally succeed.

HpS - Jaya!

And after almost two years of been living in different places he finally reached Mexico last week.

HpS - ASA -  Muy Jaya!.

Separation was a good teaching on how to improve or interactions, communications and our real propose in marriage.

We trying our best following the words you told us in Vrindavan. Been controlled with my words has been the more challenging part. My family is Happy we are formally together.

So far everything is good and we are happy to start our family life together, just getting adjust to balanced behavior as grihastas. We have morning program in the house, japa and Indi-mexican Prasadam for Goura Nitai.

We are both working in the creation of Retreat and Travel Company, we named Giriraj Retreats

ASA - Just a thought. Many people may not know wah "Giriraja" means and may have a hard time remembering it. Maybe another name would be better for business.

, http://girirajretreats.com that already is taking 50 people to India this 2018 and the goal for 2019 is 200. Mainly Yoga teachers, Ayurveda practitioners and even a group of architects that want to study indian Architecture. Our goal and inspiration is that we can facilitate the connection between Indian and American culture and bring them to Holy land India and Vrindavan Dham and they can become devotees.

ASA - Super!.

Even serve Latin-American devotees in their visit to all holy Dhams in India during Karthika month. We will be spending almost half a year in India and the second half in Mexico.

Please bless us so we can perform this service accordingly.

Govinda Pramodini Dasi & Ranchor Krishna Das

HpS - Jaya!!!!   Tourism for Indians might also be nice. There is so much to see in Latin America also. You don't have to make money. Just engage in devotional service, which is always fun and purifying, and money will be there.

Hare Krsna!!!   Have fun!!  With Krsna!

Hare Krishna,  dear Hanumatpresaka Swami!

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I'm very happy about your travel to Spain. I hope to meet you in person and learn a lot from your association. I had planned to do the introductory course to Bhakti yoga and the Disciples course this summer, but I am in a difficult economic situation and I do not know what will happen in summer, if I can pass it in NV or if I will stay in Valencia.

Maybe I have to work to pay for university next year.

I'm learning a lot in university. In arts, it is very easy to focus on Krishna. For example, I did a work about the '' Ego '', in which I present the idea of ​​the true Ego (which waters the roots of the tree) and the false Ego that tries to irrigate itself (leaf).

I thought that I could represent analogies of this type that are described in the scriptures. Janardana Das gave me the idea of ​​representing  complicated concepts (ego, subtle body, detachment ...), because the majority of Krishna art presents pastimes.

I try to be focused on Krishna as much as possible. I made an oral presentation in History of Art about the material modes of nature throughout the history of art: neoclassicism -bondability), romanticism -passion, modernity -ignorance). It is interesting how the gunas are acting, and how this is reflected in the ideals of each era. I was lucky that my teacher is interested in these types of subjects :).

Lately it's hard for me to go to bed early and get up early, it starts getting hot and more noise from the street and noise from mosquitoes! I keep doing mangala aratis every day at 5.30 am + -, reading, sing 16 rounds and go to class. 4 principles ok.

I continue to do service and participate in temple programs.
Sometimes the imps tempt me, but ok.. thanks to the mercy of the devotees and the writings of saintly people, I end up focusing on Krishna again.

Thank you for everything, I hope your health does not bother you too much, and that you can continue serving Srila Prabhupada. At your service, Arina. I hope to see you soon!

(The sculpture is Lord Caitanya)

HpS - Such nice Saints in Spain to follow.... Teresa....   Then Rosa, Lima....    If they were here today would become ecstatic in the "Teachings of Lord Caitanya", no?

Nice book to read and then distribute in the university.

Your body is like your shoes. Develop a consciousness far beyond them.

We also hope to see you all soon.

We wait for some more news in a few weeks, no?  Are any of your fellow students CIA agents or Agents of Satan?
