Gopavrindapala Dasa (Brasil)

Querido guru-maharaj, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.
Todas las glorias a Sri Sri Jagannatha-Baladeva-Subhadraji
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Hace mucho tiempo que no escribo a usted, perdoneme por favor.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. Posible. Vamos a leer un poco mas decidir como relacionar con Vd. Ha! Ha! Hare!

Mi vida cambió mucho desde la ultima vez que le mande mi reporte. Después de 11 años con una devota (7 años casados), hoy estamos en un proceso de divorcio, una situación que me dejó muy malo, pero estoy tratando de estar bien. Estabamos viviendo en Florianópolis, sur de Brasil y ahora regresé a São Paulo para la casa de mis padres. En este momento necesito un trabajo para organizarme y despues seguiré mi camino. Todavia sigo cantando mis rondas diarias.

HpS - Desculpa no communicar, pero era estupido.

Pido humildemente para que deme tus bendiciones, para que mi mente sea fuerte, para que yo pueda estar siempre con los devotos, y también para que yo pueda un dia tener una buena esposa y una familia consiente de Krishna.

Espero que estés bien y que Sri Narasimhadeva protéjalo siempre.

Mis reverencias. Hare Krishna!

HpS - Hare Krsna. No puedo recordar nada de Vd!!!! Poco mas detalles!

You can see the Saturday Workshop post we just made. The weather has been pretty good. We were doing temple programs and work with Dr. Samaresh in Kolkatta. Devotees gave us big help and then off to Manipur. Here it is a little rugged, mountain, people, but also fresh air.

The program at the Asiatic Society in Kolkata was perfect. Hall was full with scholars, retired Vice-chancellors etc.. Then the program yesterday in the Manipuri medical college organized by Sarad-gaurangi Das et al was also incredible: Head of Psychiatry, retired head of psychology. We think they are open to the ideas that the soul animates the mind and body and that the Bhagavata has an excellent map though the mind.

Some stomach pains. Maybe from green banana. Surrounded by devotees with Dengue fever. Mind and body screaming to get back to "our country". Counting the days.

Need to write letter to Badri Swami about "Every Temple a Preaching Center" in terms of what we are learning in Pune, Boise etc.

No response to our Whatsapp post about art and the sacred.

Hare Krsna. We call Kolkata about our brochure printing.

Daily/Saturday SB (7.6)

Hare Krsna, AGTSP,
Paoho
Here we are in our briskly chilly room in Manipur with moderately tough stomach ache. We are scheduled to present lecture etc. from 7.30-11AM then again from 3.30-4.20PM. We tried to reduce it with firm argument but it seems that we would have to resist being physically carried to the Temple by our own physical struggle not to go, so better to surrender and die preaching SB.
One of our highest priorities is this Saturday morning, ASA, ABC, Sanga. Thank you.
We hid and listened to the class given by Srinivasa Swami and comments by everyone. Very enlightening. Here in Manipur there is caste consciousness that one must be born in a Brahmana family to do certain things, I think even be a first class devotee of Lord Caitanya. I will give the first class today on chapter six.
We were interested in what M. Sundara-Radhika Devi Dasi thought about Srinivasa Das' comments about with good b'cari training one can easily renounce his family life.

We had about one hour meeting with Bala-Govinda Das and Toshan Nimai Das while they were in Kolkata for Radha-Nathan Swami's Mela. Then they went to the lecture that we gave at the Asiatic Society and were very enthused to see that we can present this culture and philosophy to the academic heads of society. They are two of Radha-shyama Prabhus most prominent leaders.

We can go ahead (with Srivasa, Anantarupa das et al?) to see about co-operating with ISKCON Pune in these Bhakti-Vedanta studies and accreditation.

We will read Chapter Seven and next week join live on line!

We are dying to get back to "our country". on the 8th, but when we are intelligent about it we realize that it will not give the relief from stress that we are seeking.

We just have to accept that dying in position is the only relief and happiness in this material world.
Thank very much you,
HpS

Eagerly waiting for Guru Maharaj at Manipur

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to Guru Maharaj HpS. PAOHO at Your Lotus feet.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

We regret that Prof. Samaresh is not making it, we had already distributed the invitations ...trying to make some adjustments with the program. We had sent the attached programmes at the email address of Guru Maharaj and Prof Samresh. We are so sorry. We seek forgiveness.

Had been very busy Guru Maharaj....almost every evening we go house to house program and sing Damodara Astakam ...we cover about 4 to 7 houses a day. We come back from work late in the evening and go with senior devotees....today we will cover 4 houses....

We need Your mercy Guru Maharaj. Silchar devotees arriving today...Sending the program once again....we are keeping the inaugural function as simple as possible. We would request Guru Maharaj to speak for about 5mins at the brief Inaugural function. The main Talk for Guru Maharaj has been kept at 1455hrs. This would include interactive session of about 25mins.

Waiting eagerly for Guru Maharaj.....its been raining for the last couple of days....

Your most fallen servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

Jaya Gurudeva!

Toda Gloria a Sri Sri Adi Goura Nitay!

Toda Gloria a Srila Prabhupada!

Toda Gloria a Usted!

Por favor acepte mis respetos y reverencias a Sus Santos Pies.

Guru Maharaja cómo se encuentra usted?

HpS - Almost dead body with Sankirtan and Gaura-Kishore Ekadasi, but spiritually making real progress! Thank you.

Esta carta es inesperada incluso para mí, y tiene el propósito de pedirle un favor a usted y una bendición. Una amiga muy querida por mi, la madre Delia, ella participa de las actividades de Iskcon hace un año y medio aproximadamente, y ayer a las 12.40 pm, dió a luz una bebé muy hermosa y ella le pide, si es posible, que usted le de un nombre para esta almita y una bendición para que siempre pueda estar en asociación con los devotos.

ASA - We don't know but "Radha" is a nice name.

No quiero robarle mas tiempo Guru Maharaja y personalmete pronto le enviaré mi reporte anual.

Muchas, muchas, muchas gracias por su valioso tiempo.

Espero que usted se encuentre muy bien.

Siempre recordandolo en mi corazón. Disculpe por favor cualquier ofensa.

Jahnava Devi dasi, su sirvienta.

Hare Krishna!!!!

PD: le adjunto una foto de la bebé.

ASA - Ha! Ha! Es un robot. La persona es lejos con Krsna in Goloka.
