By mercy the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and Sadai Nimai-Nitai, we already have the agreement signed and sealed by the Director of the National Library of Peru to perform ART AND THE SACRED from 24 to 26 October 2018. Now, with Walter and Ramón’s help we are writing formal letters addressed to India, China, Japan and Russia embassies trying to get their sponsorship and participation.

Through this agreement we can upload the NIOS bilingual videos to a network of the Ministry of Culture that has more than 500,000 users, but, a requirement they have, is that our video should have more than 1000 visits, so we humbly ask the members of the blog to help us spreading the word and thus meet the goal of more than 1000 visits each. The links are the following:

HpS - O.K. We visit!

As well, for your South American Sankirtan tour in March-April 2018, we are managing with Jesuit University Antonio Ruiz de Montoya to carry out a conversation about "POETRY and MUSIC, PRABODHANANDA SARASVATI and NAROTTAMA DASA THAKURA: Sacred Art in Classical India in the XVI century ", and the presentation of the film "ART AND THE SACRED, the journey of a pilgrim".

Next week we are going to meet Walter León to start doing the bilingual (printed and digital) promotional brochure of ART AND THE SACRED, we hope to send you the content and design proposals for the second week of January. We are making with Miguel Polo the call to SOLARIS No. 3. and also managing in some institutions their sponsorship in carrying out all activities.

Gurudeva to try to make regular reports I have asked a bhakta for help, he has accepted and will write each ekadasi, with the pseudonym "Ajam, the horse".

Gurudeva, allow me to humbly offer you a few words for your Auspicious Vyasa-puja No 70. On Tuesday the 19^th, we had in our asrama, a beautiful meeting where Héctor Béjar, Oscar Naters, Ana Zavala, Walter Leon, Emma Zevallos and some 10 devotees were present. After puspanjali they were asked to define in two words their appreciation about you and these were their comments:

Héctor Béjar said "Spiritual Quality"

Oscar Naters said "Persistent and wise"

Ana Zavala said "Playful and Kind"

Walter León said "Brave and Spiritual"

And Miguel Polo could not attend, but he said on the phone "Enthusiast and Dialogant Attitude"

Respected GURUDEVA, you are a Genuine Guru because you are a legitimate and exemplary disciple, I humbly ask you to forgive my offenses and my clumsiness, sincerely, I am trying to surrender my heart to you and get a drop of your niskapata-kripa.

Gurudeva, I offer you this poem as a sign of my eternal gratitude

HANUMATPRESAKA SWAMI

He who sends Hanuman as His messenger

In this world you suffer

under a mantle of selfish illusions

Darkness takes over our desires

And it ties us with unbridled lust

You arrived in autumn and turned it into spring

You accompany the Sun that evaporates ignorance

You taught us that dawn is the clue and the key

fruit of Bhakti, son of Bhaktivedanta Swami, star of the dawn

Hare Krishna respected Gurudeva, your insignificant servant, Abhiram Thakur das.

También, para su gira de Sankirtan a Sudamérica en marzo-abril 2018, estamos gestionando con la Universidad Jesuita Antonio Ruiz de Montoya hacer un conversatorio sobre “POESÍA y MÚSICA, PRABODHANANDA SARASVATI y NAROTTAMA DASA THAKURA: Arte Sagrado en la India Clásica del siglo XVI” y la presentación de la película “EL ARTE Y LO SAGRADO, el viaje de un peregrino”.

Con Walter León nos vamos a reunir la próxima semana para empezar a hacer el folleto bilingüe (impreso y digital) promocional de EL ARTE Y LO SAGRADO, esperamos enviarle las propuestas de contenido y diseño la segunda semana de enero. Con Miguel Polo estamos haciendo la convocatoria a SOLARIS No. 3. También estamos gestionando en algunas instituciones su auspicio en la realización de todas las actividades.

Gurudeva para tratar de hacer regular los informes le he pedido ayuda a un bhakta, él ha aceptado y va a escribir cada ekadasi, él va a escribir con el seudónimo “Ajam el caballo”.

Gurudeva ahora permítame ofrecerle humildemente unas palabras por su Auspicioso Vyasa-puja No 70. Nosotros tuvimos en nuestro asrama el martes 19, una bonita reunión donde estuvieron presentes Héctor Béjar, Oscar Naters, Ana Zavala, Walter León, Emma Zevallos y unos 10 devotos. Después del puspanjali nosotros le pedimos que definan en dos palabras su aprecio a usted, estas fueron sus respuestas:

Héctor Béjar dijo “Calidad Espiritual”

Oscar Naters dijo “Perseverante y Sabio”

Ana Zavala dijo “Lúdico y Bondadoso”

Walter León dijo “Valiente y Espiritual”

Y Miguel Polo no pudo asistir, pero por teléfono dijo “Entusiasta y Actitud Dialogante”

Respetado GURUDEVA usted es un Guru Genuino porque es un Discípulo genuino y ejemplar, humildemente le pido que perdone mis ofensas y mis torpezas, sinceramente, estoy tratando de rendirme de corazón a usted y obtener una gota de su niskapata-kripa.

Gurudeva le ofrezco este poema en señal de mi eterna gratitud:

HANUMATPRESAKA SWAMI

Aquel que envía a Hanuman como su mensajero

En este mundo se sufre
bajo un manto de ilusiones egoístas

La oscuridad se apodera de nuestros deseos

Y nos ata con lujuria desenfrenada

Usted llego en otoño y lo convirtió en primavera

a Usted lo acompaña el Sol que evapora la ignorancia

Usted nos enseñó que el amanecer es la clave y la llave

fruto del Bhakti, hijo de Bhaktivedanta Swami, estrella del amanecer

HARE KRISHNA QUERIDO GURUDEVA, su insignificante sirviente, Abhiram Thakur das.

HpS - Tan mucho depende en esta momento si Oscar puede relacionar bien con Hector y podemos producir esta collection interelacionado de Kalyan, Hector (Radhika y Beverley) pronto.   Proxoma Ekadasi.

Respected Guru Maharaja
Please accept my humble obeisances at your feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and you.
1) My parents joined us in Vrindavan from Warangal, Telangana. While in Vrindavan We went by taxi to Ludhiana Rathayatra on 12/17/2017. We started little bit after midnight and had 8.5 hours drive. By some causeless mercy my father received first initiation from His Holiness Gopala Krishna Maharaja.

HpS - Jaya!!!

My father, Krishna-bandhu dasa, sends his respects to you and is seeking your blessings and mercy so he can be fixed up in Krishna Consciousness.

HpS - We hope he sees opportunities for Sankirtan in his current situation and they expand.

2) We had wonderful time in Vrindavana. Thank you so much for your blessings for the visit and instructing us about Vrindavan. I could have just stayed in Krishna Balaram Mandir. The mangalarati was the most concentrated and blissful experience in the temple. I felt at home reconnecting with my 6 month stay few years ago.  I did Vrindavan parikrama on foot and remembered how we walked on the same road to Govindaji Mandir and some of the things you told us. We visited Gosvami temples, Radha Kunda, Shyama Kunda, Barsana, Nanda gaon, Ter Kadam, vrinda kund and some places around Govardhan. I got a flower from Jiva Gosvami Samadhi on his disapperance day. For your vyasapuja we had simple celebration with Krishna Balaram's Rajbhoga maha prasad. There was one unexpected guest (scholar Mukunda Datta Prabhu's wife). We distributed peda sweets to some people near our guest house and fed bananas to cows near the temple. Also Yasodamayi mataji (elderly mataji who used to live in Berkley temple but now in vrindavan for about 3 decades) conveyed her respects to you and thanked you for your guidance long time ago.

HpS - As I remember she did not want to go to Vrndavana even for a visit, but myself and others thought that it would be perfect for her, so she agreed out of pressure.   Went, came back, closed out here accounts in the Western world, moved to Braja and never came back.

As a family we all did Govardhana Parikrama in car and next day I did on foot. From Radha Kund to Kusum sarovar I had very nice association of Radhika Ramana Prabhu, Gopal Hari Prabhu, Aruddha Mataji, Srinatha Krishna Prabhua and few other devotees.

HpS - Boise East. Krsna West?

Later I was off on my own so I can walk non stop and prepare for departure the next day. Walking alone staring at Govardhan and thinking of some Krishna book pastimes was ecstatic! At times I was so close to Govardhan and felt intimidated in awe and reverence! Praying He will give me residence near Him at the feet of  you and other acaryas. 

3) We came to Warangal, Telangana on Dec 25th. There is a nice Jagannatha-Baladeva-Subhadra, Radha-Nilamadhavam and Gaura-Nitai temple here. My parents built a house and moved next to the temple; it's a good vanaprasta setting for them to soak themselves in Krishna Consciousness. I have been attending lot of temple programs; nice morning and evening programs, morning and evening classes and kirtans! With all the travel I got sick with bad throat. I could hardly speak probably because I may have said lot of bad words in the past! I missed our saturday classes and will try to catch up with the recordings and hope to join live from 1/13/2018.

Your inignificant servant
Srinivasacarya dasa

PS: Sugopi had great time making garlands for Krishna's flute and singing in Prabhupada's samadhi. One day she fed jaggery balls to 70 cows. They didn't have enough and demanded more pulling on her skirt. Picture attached :)

HpS - Maybe they were trying to take her to Nanda Maharaja's police chief and make a complaint.

Thank you so much for this report. It is like light on our path!!!!!!
 

Hare Krishna Gurudev! Porfavor acepte mis humildes reverencias. Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y guru parampara.

El motivo de mi viaje a India es para hacer drama teatro con Maharaja Bhakti Marga Swami en Febrero otraves, durante las reuniones del GBC, en Mayapur,

HpS - Aaaa!   Working trip!

. . . tambien viajar a Vrindavan y new delhi. El me escribio invitandome El gusta de mi talento por lo tanto pago mi ticket y visa, yo pense q esta es una maravillosa oportunidad de volver a India sirviendo a los devotos una vez mas ofreciendo a Krishna lo q El me dio.

HpS - Si, con esta perspectivo es super.

Sobre la adoración de giri raja y Radha krishna porfavor gurudev instruyame de los detalles para poder hacer ese servicio personal, muchas gracias

HpS - Pienso en las cartas particular que estamos pasando, podemos hablar de esta punto.   Por favor haz y reportaje de su viaje y lo que pasa.

Su sirviente Parama Karuna das

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! 

Please accept my humble obeisances. 

Thank you for your reply. 

And in answer to your question, everyone is decent enough at my school. There are always bad people, but they are not bad to me. I actually don't associate with many people at school, although I am friendly with everyone. It's too hard to find genuine people these days.

HpS - AGTSP.  Paoho...  I think everyone finds that to be true. Then ISKCON is a wonderful effort to create a society were nice people can meet each other. Of course, it is insane to think that it will be 100% successful, Satya-yuga, but if we work we can see ISKCON Vaikuntha and show others how to live there.

The teachers are okay.. Sometimes you may see that they are racist to darker-skinned people or Muslims (there are many Muslims at school). The teachers are quite authoritative - that's what loses the necessary bond that a student and teacher should possess. This bond allows the student to learn at full capacity. Also, at school they are very strict. They don't allow necklaces, earrings, or any kind of jewellery. I unfortunately extend my Kanti-mala so it is not visible to them. I have tried to say it's religious but they simply don't care. All in all, some teachers are nice and some very strict and hard to be friendly with. I would much like school if it weren't for all the restrictions. 

I hope your health is in good condition Maharaj. 

Hare Krsna :) 

Yours servant, 

Lakshmi Dasi 

HpS - ASA -- Is it a public a school??      What are you studying?   How will you use it in Krsna's service sooner or later???   Drama teachers??

Querido Guru Maharaja una vez que terminaron las clases del colegio, decidí salir del cuarto donde vivía al templo de wilson, las autoridades se manifestaron favorables, necesitaba asociación, creo que si permanecía más tiempo me perjudicaría o perdería el tiempo en un confort que me incomodaba, por eso estoy una temporada corta en wilson, tomando asociación de varios devotitos entusiastas, algunos nuevos y jóvenes y otros muy mayores, y sankirtaneando con libros, Krsna es muy misericordioso pues las últimas veces no tenía el entusiasmo de antes, salía y por más que me esforzaba, muy pocos libros,...... hasta que alguien me pidió una colección de SB,.............. Jay Srila Prabhupada!!!!!!!!!!!!! ¡Qué néctar!, recordé cuanto adquirí la mía, lo feliz que me puse, esa fue la motivación que cayó del cielo. Y entendemos que habrán más pasatiempos de sankirtana y debo continuar, así que estamos viajando a chile y después volvemos a esperar su venida a Perú y aunque estamos una temporada corta en el templo aprovecharemos al máximo, considero que estamos de paso en este mundo de sufrimiento, a cada paso veo eso, los únicos que se ven felices son los que siguen las instrucciones de Srila Prabhupada, ese es mi plan para mejorar mi canto, salír de mi casa para cantar con entusiasmo, mi única esperanza es cantar, ayúdeme a curarnos de la enfermedad de querer disfrutar separado de Krsna, de querer sobresalir, al diablo con los planes, quiero saber que quiere Krsna que desea Ud. de mí? 

Me alegra no tener compromisos que me permitan participar de aventuras como estas, mis circunstancias son de lo más favorables para servir y Krsna siempre me ayuda y me manda ayuda por todas partes. Estoy muy agradecida, espero este fin de año frío para Ud. no afecte su salud. ¡Qué frío! Por donde está Ud. Espero su pronta venida. Veo muchas mejoras en templo de lima, gracias a muy buenos devotos. Ojalá pudiera estar en todos esos países que visitará, si Krsna quiere, deseo asociación santa siempre.

Dear Guru Maharaja once the school classes were over, I decided to leave the room where I lived at the temple of Wilson, the authorities were favorable, I needed an association, I think if I stayed longer I would be hurt or I would lose time in a comfort that bothered me , that is why I am a short season in Wilson, taking association of several enthusiastic devotees, some new and young and others very old, and sankirtaneando with books, Krsna is very merciful because the last times I did not have the enthusiasm of before, I left and for more I struggled, very few books, ...... until someone asked me for a collection of SB, .............. Jay Srila Prabhupada !!!!!!!!! !!!! What a nectar !, I remembered how much I acquired mine, how happy I was, that was the motivation that fell from heaven. And we understand that there will be more sankirtana pastimes and I must continue, so we are traveling to Chile and then we wait for his return to Peru and although we are a short season in the temple we will make the most of it, I believe we are passing through this world of suffering , at every step I see that, the only ones who look happy are those who follow the instructions of Srila Prabhupada, that is my plan to improve my singing, leave my house to sing with enthusiasm, my only hope is to sing, help me to heal of the disease of wanting to enjoy separate from Krsna, of wanting to excel, to hell with the plans, I want to know what Krsna wants you to want from me?

I am happy not to have commitments that allow me to participate in adventures like these, my circumstances are the most favorable to serve and Krsna always helps me and sends me help everywhere. I am very grateful, I hope this end of the cold year for you does not affect your health. How cold! Where are you? I look forward to your soon coming. I see many improvements in Lima temple, thanks to very good devotees. I wish I could be in all those countries that I will visit, if Krsna wants, I always desire holy association.

HpS - ASA ---- We did not know that you were going to Chile. I think Chile can be a very nice place. Any place is nice for yoga if Krsna is helping us. Yes, Yoga means to get free from ignorance, to see Radha and Krsna and Vrndavana and ouselves as we actually are. Srila Prabhupada is the immediate link in this process. You are his eternal servant, no?
Some news from Chile. We hope you meet interesting people and teach them all you know!

__________________________________

HpS - ASA ---- No sabíamos que ibas a Chile. Creo que Chile puede ser un lugar muy agradable. Cualquier lugar es bueno para el yoga si Krsna nos está ayudando. Sí, Yoga significa liberarse de la ignorancia, ver a Radha, a Krsna y a Vrndavana y a sí mismos tal como somos en realidad. Srila Prabhupada es el vínculo inmediato en este proceso. Tú eres su sirviente eterno, ¿no?
Algunas noticias de Chile ¡Esperamos que conozcas personas interesantes y les enseñes todo lo que sabes!

HpSwami - ASA

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias a sus pies de loto.

HpS - ASA --  TlgaSP!    y todos los devotos reunidos! Nuestras pies de lobo.

Le escribo desde Culiacán, Sinaloa, México; recidimos en la Ciudad de México pero no participamos en la maratón de Sankirtan de Srila Prabhupada. Es un servicio muy intenso que siempre nos deja una gran enseñanza y me deja pensando en muchas cosas que hay que mejorar en mí. Y doy gracias a krsna y prabhupada por dejarme ocuparme de manera en este movimiento de Sankirtan.

HpS - Es super!!

Hace unos días fue su vyasa puja y esperamos que haya sido un día muy bueno para usted. Sé que no escribimos muy seguido, más por falta de palabras que de ganas, pero siempre estamos al pendiente del blog, del kapi dhvaja y de un grupo en Facebook que lleva por nombre "Sankirtan de Hanumatpresaka Swami" 

Sin más que decir por el momento, me despido.

su aspirante a sirviente Bhakta Hector 

HpS - Muchas gracias.  Esta trabajando? Como ocupa su misma en el movimiento de Sankirtan de Srila Prabhupada??
