Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva 

AGTSP

PAMHO

I hope your tour has been a success so far

I was coordinating with some devotees about your itinerary in order to send to You, but one devotee told me that she will write by herself to You, and that she will wait until your answer, so in order to avoid misunderstandings I agreed. That is why  I am sending this with one week of delay please excuse me, In addition yesterday I arrived from Huanchaco (Trujillo) really beautiful place. (another letter) so I 'm catching up on my duties. Again excuse me.

HpS - As we mentioned in the letter to The Yugala Kishora Dasi, we need to know more about the schedule after we returnt before we can fix things. The first part seems fine, could be printed into  poster, but we would probably be making decisions about the days in April even while we are in Peru in March.

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaj, Pamho, AGTSP!
As I have been commenting lately, my focus on my service to ISKCON is now directed to the sastric education. I want to contribute with renewed educational technology that I am learning and remembering in my master's studies.
There is still a lot of work to be done to continue developing bhakti sastri and Bhakti Vaibhava, at least in Spanish. I ask you, please, to allow me to add things to your brilliant and unparalleled study guides "tava pace pace". Especially in matters of dynamics and other reinforcement and feed-back exercises, etc. Even Spanish still needs to improve.
I also urgently ask to formally participate in the curricular development group on Saturday mornings. I have requested my inclusion on several occasions. The first objective is to continue studying and also to prepare myself to continue teaching. And of course, the educational material will be transferred to Spanish.
Please, if you think it is convenient, send me the material and the links to my gmail, which I understand would be the means of communication for the group.
[email protected]
I'm still worried about the subject of the BS and BVB examination center. I hope it is resolved in your visit to Peru.
Thank you very much.
ssLAD

HpS - From our (imperfect point of view)Education in ISKCON is in much disorder, but we are going ahead!!!  You should write to Srinivasa das with a copy to me. I will Skype you his address.

If your participation is integrated it will be wonderful.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP,PAMHO

B Miguel Angel asked me for some help and clarifications

Ganga mataji showed him an email from U where U wrote that You did not know him.. He was surprised because you called him arcángel and also he told me that U know that he has a rock band etc. He took the test for initiation last week and took formal shelter in your last visit.

HpS - Yes, we were confused by seeing his full, big name. Yes, we know him and we wrote to th everyone and him that it seems very proper for him to take intitiation.

On the other hand B Wilfredo Martínez who has already taken the exam for formal shelter I am kind of sure that You did not know him.. Jiva shakti d, lad,me etc do not have good references from him, but miguel angel is fixed in his.service we feel that we need more communication with the authorities.

HpS - This Refugee stage is for getting to know people, no?  That is why we ask all Refugees to write to the Blog so we, you, me, he can all get to know each other.

I am attaching some.pictures from B Miguel Angel he is in blue jacket and he has long hair near the Vyasasana

He asked me this as a favor

So sorry to bother U with these things

See U soon

Your useless servant

HpS - Your useless bishop.

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaj, Pamho, AGTSP!
Thank you for your association and your example.
I want to be your authentic disciple. I hope one day I will achieve that.

HpS - ASA --- HK/HR!  This is exactly what we tell our Guru-maharaja, Srila Prabhupada also!

Several points:
I think I should just concentrate on the academic part. I'm a little tired of organizating things. In addition there are enough devotees eager to organize as Abhiram, Candra mukhi, Yugala and even Isvari matajis. So good luck!

However I will be their servant. When I spoke with Thakurji I told him that. For the weekend in Chosica March 16, 17 and 18 I will be his servant. I told him to exploit me at everything he wants me to do, but not make me think much or do logistics.

In the same way for April (20-22), I think that a matajis commission has to be formed to celebrate the weekend of the Vaishnava ladies. As it will be in Chosica, I propose that the mentioned mothers be commissioned together with M. Nitya in charge of Chosica. I will only be a servant. Mother Yugala has already asked me to be the guide of the pada yada pada she plans to organize.

What I think is important to maintain a nice relationship with la Cantuta is to organice a program for Monday, February 26. I think it's feasible. It would be in the morning, like 10 to 12 and then you can go down to Lima to do your other business. I Hope we are able to do it.  I'm already talking to our friend Professor Durand. I think you can do a little Art and the Sacred to motivate the October event. Art and the Sacred in Classical India and Ancient Peru, something like that. With local devotees There are enough dancers and musicians. I want to ask Caitanya candrodaya to coordinate that part. Professor Durand can help very well with musicians and something else. And of course a talk on your part.

Personally, I am trying to study more about my profession in order to access a competitive educational market and make a difference for ISKCON. I'm thinking of teaching in college if I can, or another educational organization or school. My priority will always be devotees, but outside people are suffering and ignorance continues to grow.

Please, your blessings to be useful to ISKCON and the world.

P. Mathures was right, when things do not work out in ISKCON I get frustrated. But I do not like that word. It's like you get stuck. I prefer to say that I get discouraged. Now I am contributing in what I can do. I teach SB and BG and I am doing harinam on Saturdays. Besides, I continue with my on-line classes of Bhakti sastri, Bhakti Vaibhava and sporadically the course of disciples. At this moment I have 8 students.

That's where I feel happy and useful, sharing with my students. Many years organizing and frankly I do not see much progress. So the thing goes the other way. Education, inside and outside ISKCON.

The examining center of Bhakti sastri and Bhakti Vaibhava is still pending. I guess a little conflict. I welcome what Krsna wants through how the events unfold. I do not feel like pushing. I want to have a submissive servant attitude at this point. Many years of arrogance and wanting things to go the way I like them.

In any case, I am seeing these situations as a signal that I also have to see what happens outside and make my contribution. It's just an idea.
Enough for today. Thanks for listening.
ssLAD

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!!   You seem to be on a healthy path. It is just a matter of concentrating and accelerating. Your ideas, plans, seem fine. We told M. Yugala-k. Dasi about our ideas of the Pada-yatra. Can you sit on the grass in the central plaza in Chosica and chant?

Tom Brown --- We traveled all day, but got our rounds done and haven't dreamed of getting married to Miss Universe.

We are in a nice room in Subal-sakha Das and Mataji's home. We have a good computer and had a perfect lunch. We while waiting in the airport we made a Power Point Show for Wednesday class on our Cell Phone!  It worked pretty well. On the airplane we met a nice man but could not get into a conversatin with him to distribute a book to him.

Yesterday we distributed 15-LoBs at the Sunday Feast.   AGTSP...

We looked at the Yahoo and Blog mail and answered the very, very, very Urgent letter from Rama-lila Devi Dasi and now it is 7 minutes until Gaura-arati so we can't write anymore, but it has been a productive day. A day of practical devotional service.

See you in the Arati.  We will tweet you.

PAOHO.....
