<pre data-fulltext="" data-placeholder="Traducción" dir="ltr" id="tw-target-text"> AGTSP PAMHO Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev Krsna's plans are usually not what you were looking for or perhaps they are otherwise, at this time I realize that it is the best thing, on the one hand, I do not manage to match the deadlines to take the test for the second initiation, for me the most important thing was to have your approval and blessing in taking second initiation but I still can not give the test, and I feel that I'm just pushing, but things are not flowing naturally, therefore I think it is best to wait for a new visit of yours in the yatra of Chile, I can prepare myself better and not force things, on the other hand I have the full conviction that it is a formality and that as you told me in your last visit, I must work in the real aspect of being a brahmana, therefore I remain fixed In my service, it is already 4 years that I am cooking for the deity on Saturdays and I intend to keep doing it while this body allows me, I continue to worship Sri Sri Gaura Nitay in my home, and I know that they will give me the realization and the strength to continue and take the second incation when the time is right, in our last conversation you told me "working in administration is working with the old part of the brain, like crocodile or lizard, very ritualistic, cold blood and no care for the young" HpS-ASA -- This is what E. T. Hall said, a very nice sociologist. I agree. When I was a Temple President I saw that I had to work that way to satisfy devotees. We need Presidents, Mothers, Cooks, Children.. Trivikrama Das - Based on that, my young heart will continue fighting regardless of the difficulties, all this I can only for your mercy, thank you for always being a light in this material world your eternal servant Trivikrama das</pre>

HpS - ASA -- We hope to visit Santiago en November. You should plan on doing this service of Temple President at some time. It is good service to the mission of Lord Caitanya. You seem to be advancing very nicely. Very nicely.

Please offer our respects to Amara... and become the best devotee in Santiago.

Templo ISKCON Chile

Hare Krishna Maharaja, reverencias.

Quiero pedir su bendición para mantenerme en esta nueva etapa de mi vida, hace una semana que estoy viviendo en el templo de ISKCON Chile y ahora estoy en Cabildo con mi familia, viajaré constantemente a Cabildo los fines de semana para llevar a cabo el proyecto musical del cual le había comentado. Paralelamente a la vida de templo, me prepararé para la prueba de ingreso universitario, para no atrasar más mi ingreso a la universidad, ya que mi deseo es viajar a Brasil el año 2019 y hacer el bhakti sastri, así, de esa manera, entrar a la universidad el año 2020 a estudiar pedagogía en música, si Krishna así lo desea. 

Muchas gracias por su misericordia Maharaja, ¡Hare Krishna!

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna!   TlgaSP.  Muchas gracias su carta. Sus planes aparecen muy fuerte de donde estamos sentado: Proyecto de musica, universidad, bhakta, alumno de Bhakti Sastri!

Pero de otro manera es super bueno adelantar en la conciencia de Krsna! Puede ser Vd. en encarnación de Maharaja Pariksit. No estoy bromeando, mi abuelo era Aleman.

Por que no contemplando y hablando con unos acerca de sus planes y estableciendo prioridades?   Que piensa_

MahaSankirtan ...from the land of the Gandharvas!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to Guru Maharaj HpS! 

Dandavat Pranam Guru Maharaj. PAOHO

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

We are still in a state of extended bliss..post Yaoshang Sankirtan!! We have missed you so much dear Guru Maharaj. The Yaoshang kirtan was explosive!! We celebrate for 5 days...non stop kirtan . We stormed Govindaji's temple.....sang, danced, and of course received the colours of pure ecstatic love....there was no stopping any one of us...no not even  the police......and we had nothing on our minds except Gauranga!! Oh!! What a crowd.....sending some old links https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkYgrOJAtCE    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxJT0zs8kdc. 

We are sending some photos which we had taken this time. The Chief Secretary of the State Shree RR Rashmi also happens to be a devotee of ISKCON, Patna. We were invited at his bangalow for the kirtan. HH BVT Swami Maharaj and HH BAHG Maharaj led our kirtan ...and needless to say we had a blast of a kirtan there too. Daily, just after Guru Puja we start our kirtan party from the temple and we finish by 8pm or a little later sometimes. Thats for 5 days...and still longing for more! This time our Chief minister suggested that we celebrate Yaoshang for just 2 days...the e-response was shockingly trivializing. One post went like....Dear Chief Minister Sir, kindly cut your 5 year term to 2 years!! The Chief minister has kept quiet since then!!!!

We dressed  RadhaKrishnachandra differently on the 2nd day ,called Pichkaari day....where there is a huge sankirtan at Govindajee temple. Nobody minds the colours thrown on them. The dress was supposed to be ordained on Guru Maharaja's 70th Vyas puja but somehow we could not finish stitching on time. Hope you like them dear Guru Maharaj, we are sending the photo.

Yesterday ,we went inside the main market area for Sunday nagarkirtan. Blissful ...as always . Thank you dear Guru Maharaj. Started attending Mangal Arti at the temple daily nowadays with your endless mercy. Thank you so much.

Will try all we can to make the exchange program work if Krishna so desires. We have 2 very good dance teachers here who are closely associated with the temple. They train and make all the necessary arrangement. Will collect the motifs and do some homework on the tribal patterns and traditional designs, some of them are worn only by the royal blood. How may we help each other? We don't have sketches and other drawings based on SB and BG. We will keep praying that the movement gets bigger and stronger. Please help us Guru Maharaj ...we are so insignificant.....

Your servant always,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

Your servant always,

Sarada Gaurangi DD.

HpS - Wonderful!!!!    The devotees from Mexico are trying to contact you. Do you have Whatsapp?  Please send you telephone number and email to [email protected]

Developing Systematic Srimad Bhagavatam Study

AGTSP!
 
Esteemed Maharaja, Badri-narayana et al,
Thank you Maharaja for you letter with details of your visit to Boise.
 
I think our personal relationships with the devotees are nice.
 
It is on this institutional level, with your good self as GBC Secretary, that we feel great urgency to work on developing the temple educational programs. This is within perspective of our participation in the Ministry of Education and as prototype work for all of ISKCON.
 
There are many reasons why we have been making the endeavor specifically in Boise for many months with many devotees, and at this point I feel we have come to an impase where we need to work with you as our institutional leader in terms of the Boise Temple producing results that will be applicable on a broad range in ISKCON.
 
Our perspective is that regular, daily, Srimad Bhagavatam classes for the Temple members is the best way to reduce personal conflict amongst Temple members and increase the Deity standards.
 
With some contemplation of this theme what are your thoughts?
 
We can go ahead with this dialog at a convenient pace. We are traveling in South America now, probably with a full calendar like everyone.
 
Thank you very much,
We hope any surgery etc. is successful for your service.
Hanumat presaka Swami
 

DTC 16(Fr)

Hare Krsna.

We are in the Lotus Lodge in Chosika. It is about 35KM from Lima. We are here for an ASA retreat for Friday, Saturday, Sunday. It will be a lot of fun and very instructive. We are near the Temple and many of the programs will be there. The Dean of the Jesuit University will be staying in the same room as ourselves and Abhirama Th. Das.

We are using ARTD cell phone as a hot spot, so we have to write quick to not use up much of his data.

We had Mangala arati in his ashrama with about 12-devotees and 9-on line. Then packed and went the temple in Wilson with Yamunesvara das, gave class, did Guru-puja and honered Prasadam. Then to Rupanuga Caitanya Das; home and many mystical discussions. He is about 85% recovered from his thrombosis. We had Kirtan and left a copy of Oscar's  "Art and the Sacred" movie with him.

Hours of pushing through traffic. The dangers of collision, the noise are all very painful.

Then we made it to the Temple and for noon arati, Maha-prasadam with five devotees and two cats Had  a very nice discussion on fund raising for Radha Madana-bihari with Nitya-kinkari Devi Dasi.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna. 9.04 PM

Goodnight!
