Hare Krishna Hanumatpresaka swami! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

How are you? I hope you’re always happy and full of knowledge!

HpS - We hope so also, but it is a battle of Kurkusetra, by the unlimited mercy of Srila Prabhupada we go forward!!

I had passed christmas holidays in Nueva Vrajamandala. I like stay there.

HpS - Lucky, Dog!!

I was thinking about in what way i’m going to serve Krishna. What I want to do with that life?

Grihastha ashram is good, i feel  some kind of atracction to that, but it seems very… ¿agobiante? epecially because of children. I Heard in some of your lessons that is the option of be married but not have children.. Please can you explain me more about that?

Because I understand that if you married it is a duty to have children. I supose that if you don’t want children so don’t have sex. Ok i think is possible.

I think in my case is good have a partner to help us each other in our spiritual progress. But i don’t want to get tangled up more of that i am now.  I would like to have that support and can share and help to the other person in spiritual way.

So it would be ‘’legal’’ option to be married but don’t have children?

I was thinking in other option that is monastic life. It seems very nice… I have been seeing interviews to young monks and nuns. They look really happy and soul-clean. Intelligent guys. Is beautiful how Krishna finds the way for establish contact with differents persons by diferent ways.., He knows everyone!!

These nuns are catholics, they have good ‘’ashram’’ without much distractions, live  without contact with opposite sex and have the asociattion with other nuns. Does exist ISKCON ashram for matajis like monastery??

This summer I want to stay in Nueva Vrajamandala for 2 months, without any contact with Mantri Rama. I think it can be interesant to see how reacts my mind and emotions… because  normally when i am in temple the life turns light for my mind because is enganged in doing service. So I don’t know… let’s see what Krishna has planned, i’m sure is something nice.

I started to wake up at 4, drink water J, and chant 16 rounds, then mangala arati, read a little… and go to university with finished rounds. Is nice to start the day in that way it satisfies me a lot, and i have energy and optimism  for the rest of the day.

I think about doing some ‘’Mantras on the grass’’ or ‘’Kirtan Grass’’ hahaha, in the university maybe 2 times at week during the hour of rest.. Stik some posters over the campus ‘’Stay higth forever in transcendental vibration!!’’  

We started to distribute books, we have 15 boxes!! Is very nice that devotees are motivated with sankirtan, next week we want go to streets.

I finished Sri Isopanisad, I like when Prabhupada says ‘’Uno puede apreciarlo a Él en proporción a lo que se haya entregado a Él’’… is difficult to surrender to Krishna suffering the material disease.. so I want to be cured of this disease!

Thank you very much for all the service you do helping Krishna’s children to meet their father. Thank you!! thank you!!!

Your servant, Arina.

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!  AGTSP..  Esteemed Arina, we don't remember you!!!  Are you black, white, red, yellow, male, female, human, tiger, pigeon!

We can go directly into Vanaprastha ashrama but that is very difficult for a girl, but some times is possible. There are couples like Vaisesika and his wife and Virabahu Das who have lived as Vanaprastha.

Really the first step is to get fixed in being a devotee. Get initiated, matiriculated, and then after a year or two as fixed devotee your Varna and Ashrama service becomes very clear, but yes, one can directly into Vanaprastha, emotional relationship but no gross relationship.

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis reverencias

El 2018 estoy comenzando con 2 grupos Bhakti vriksha establecidos. En el grupo Nimai Nitay (Callao) nos reunimos cada semana en casa de Prahu Abhiram y hemos hecho planes de prédica para Enero, Febrero y Marzo para atraer a más personas a la conciencia de Krishna. En Chosica, en Febrero tenemos planeado distribuir alimentos en una población pobre.

En Febrero termino de dar el curso de Introducción al Bhakti Yoga en Wilson, luego espero dar ese tiempo para abrir un nuevo grupo Bhakti vrisha en Lima.

Muchas Gracias Guru Maharaj por darnos inspiración en el Servicio Devocional

Hare Krishna,

Jagat Pavitram das

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: The Best Basis

ISKCON New Vrajamandala community is a rural project situated about one hour north of Madrid, Spain. The current President, H. H. Yadunanadana Swami, and community are focusing on education as the basis of their community development. Maharaja was initiated in 1978 by H. H. Satsvarupa Das Goswami and took Sannyasa in 2009. He was Principal of the Bhaktivedanta College in Radhadesa and Member of the Executive Committee of the Ministry of Education.

One history explains that the NVM complex was constructed by the Minister of Health to the Spanish Dictator, Francisco Franco (1892-1975) and used as a summer retreat. I had three swimming pools and hundreds of acres of land for horse-back riding. Weekend educational retreats in Sastric studies and specific occupational skills, Puja etc are now organized there. Children from Spanish schools come for a program called, “A Day in India”, and get to milk a cow and offer incense to Their Lordship’s Govinda Chandra. Breakfast and lunch are a rural feast and the peacock is waiting to take your remnants.

In 2017 Maharaja and the devotees chased the spiders out of three of the lower patio rooms, and cleaned, painted and outfitted three sunny rooms as class rooms for a pre-school program. The progressive model is that they will add one level of education each year. This worked in Manipur for H. H. B. S. Damodar Swami and after 12-years his students were winning State competitions.

The core teacher is a devotional jewel, Mani-manjari Devi Dasi, who joined as soon as she finished a teaching commitment with the Avanti School in Vraja. She has been teaching professionally in the secular world for ten-years and is certified by, and well associated with, the professional educational system in Spain known as NABSS. NABSS is a British system fully authorized and appreciated by the government of Spain. She is continuing to enhance her accreditation to primary school level by taking distance education courses from the NABSS facility in Valencia.

NVM and Maharaja are also integrating with the Avanti School Trust, headed by Navin-krsna Das in England, through their pre-school system, Little Avanti Nursery School.

Several very qualified families have already moved to the community to enroll their toddlers and engage their skills in other community services. NVM is minutes away from the picturesque small town of Brihuega where one ISKCON favorable gentleman runs an excellent health spa. He sends clients to NVM as a weekend retreat and some community devotees are taking work with him. Carpooling to Guadalajara (pop. 84, 803) is less than an hour and quite practical for devotees living at NVM for developing their own businesses, or working for municipal or business entities.

Let us finishing by contrasting Maharaja’s and the NVM communities strategy with that of Aghasura.

“Aghāsura was instigated by Kaṁsa, so he had come with determination. Aghāsura also thought that when he would offer grains and water in memory of his brother and sister and kill Kṛṣṇa and all the cowherd boys, then automatically all the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana would die. Generally, for the householders, the children are the life and breath force. When all the children die, then naturally the parents also die on account of strong affection for them.”, https://www.vedabase.com/en/kb/12 [italics ours]

So let us suggest that when the children live and thrive the householders also live, prosper and preach with great success and introspection.
