Big big news from Mar del Plata
Hare Krishna beloved and esteemed Gurudev,
Please accept muy humble obeisances!!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
I know by the blog, twitter and kdh how you are. But how is your pear tree?
ASA - She, He, It, seems to be doing O.K. By S(he(it))'s Karma it is forced to stand out in the heat and cold and drink from one leg. Oooof! So far it has given one full sized fruit and two short ones. It is not getting any taller fast, 2-meters. Our rose bush is about the same. The gardener thought it was a weed and chopped its head off but still blossoming. How are your trees?
I really liked your proposal to Anuttama Prabhu. We have to make that step!!
I'm glad that your India-Australia tour was a complete success. And that you are recovering. Such great news that you are coming to South America very soon. I hope you can visit Mar del Plata this time.
ASA - So do we. We would like to ride there on the back of a tiger.
Spiritual life: improved a lot after we moved six month ago to Sri Govardhan, our eco village. Living close to a temple sorrounded by devotees makes things much more easy.
16r 4p ok. Attending mangala aratik 3 times a week.
We have to improve a lot the quality of our japa.
Material life: Still working as ayurvedic doctor. Our clinic works great. Next year we are going to leave mondays free of work to increase reading and studying. So the scheme will be tuesday to friday to town to work and saturday to monday stay at the farm to enhance spiritual practices.
We started teaching at the university, med school. Big challenge, great preaching opportunities. If you come i hope i can arrange a program there for you.
HpS - That is the program we did at the State Medical College in Manipur: Science, Psyche and SPIRITUAL Health, the Encounter of Carl Jung with the Ancient Mysticism.
Family life: we are getting married to Julieta mataji december 7th. Only civil. Fire ceremony after one year of living together. She is daughter of a devotee, mother Maria. Very well educated and very fond of living with devotees. She has a very similar level of insanity as myself. Our astrological compatibility is very good. We have His Grace Srila Virabahu prabhu as asram guru. We are reading also heart and soul connection by the GVT.
Madhu Mangal (Manu) and Bhurijana (Benjamin) are great. Also the Sri Govardhan atmosphere was wonderful for them. They attend gurukula, Madhu is chanting 4 rounds regularly. They have nice service attitude.
Preaching: Mostly to our clients at the clinic. Distribute books at work, like 12 per month average.
We are inviting many devotees to our farm to preach in town. Bhaktigouravani Swami was here last month and this month Hh Mahavisnu Swami and the harinam ruci. On January bramacharis from Buenos Aires mandir are coming
We quit all other engagements to focus in improving personal sadhana and bhajana.
We are creating a study group to start Bhakti Sastri. Prabhu Laksmana Agraja Prabhu kindly provided us with their study guides. The plan is two hours studying individually then 1:30 hs once a week we gather and discuss. Communication via wapp.
We plan to start next january.
Yesterday we had a meeting with Ambarish, Madhavendra Prabhus and Rati Manjari dd to start coordinate your argentinian tour.
Let's read second viplavah issue.
Your stupid disciple,
Nikunja Bihari das.
.HpS - Thank you! Marriage in Kali-yuga seems to be the best use of a bad bargain from any point of view. If everybody blesses you then could be useful (for you and everybody).
Our regards to Madhu and Buri. They got initiated?? Julieta? Maja-jana!...
Interesting you write and we just started having heart arythmias. Every now and then the heart misses a beat. NGD suggested a little more salt one time. It worked, but it really pushes us to think, we can have heart failure at any moment. How ready are to grab our hand luggage and go to the next vehicle. We want to develop an eternal little place at Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet. Remember our features, our friends, our family. We left them!
We hope your Mission becomes more and more clear. Are you headed in the right direction to understand that? Is this your last life in the materal world?!
