.  'are Krsna, Mates!
AgtSP...  Paolo & be.  We are sinners!  We ate potatoes late at night!

Piggy: It used to be condensed milk!

Monkey: We have reformed, but even still it crashes the Donkey!
Yesterday our electronic car-key malfunctioned. Then our printer malfunctioned, our cell phone crashed and we had to learn how to do a Hard Restart. That solved the phone crash but about 1/3 or our addresses and the Windows files are in Limbo. Etc., etc.

Piggy: What did you learn from you falls?

Monkey: Hot milk and KRSNA book before bed! Kirtaniya sada harih. Always chant.

Back to Japa!

    While, HG Radheshyam Prabhuji has shared with me a .PDF file with all answers of questions, which i sent to your mail.

HpS - Super! Can we discuss his answers with associate or student while in Pooh Neigh?
    Of course, HG Balagovind Prabhuji and HG Antardvip Prabhuji, would be available for more details and further discussion.

HpS - Our desires are immediately fulfilled. Please arrange meeting with them at earliest date.

    Please let me know if we are allowed to share the "Viplavah" (1st volume 1) with our temple authority and all.
ASA - "Allowed??? !    You MUST share it with EVERYONE.
 
    Thank you so much Gurudev.

HpS - Hare Krsna!    Our cell phone crashed. We had to Reset it and guess that will work.  Then our electronic key on our car ceased to function!  Took it apart and put it back together and it seems to be O.K.

Lost Yuddhisthira's number from my phone. May come later, but Sri Hari Das is in contact with everyone: +91 81716 23460.

We are scheduled to arrive at 10.45PM Thursday and go straight to the Temple to rest. Then go to BRAJA!!!  right after Mangala arati with Sri Hari Das.   We will come back the next morning. He can give you exact timeing. Then we have program in the evening with ISKCON youth. Next day Sunday Feast lecture and Dr. Kalyan now wants to change his meeting from 4PM to 3PM.

Would be very nice to meet your esteemed colleague. Just check with the Sri Hari Das. He knows everything.

Hare Krsna!!

Hare Krishna! Please accept my obeisances, AGTSP!

Dear Maharaja, life was much simpler and it has only grown more complicated as I enter adulthood. This last year was so bizzare, Prahlad commiting suicide had a large impact on me and then a few months later my sister died from cancer, that was certainly the hardest experience of my life to go through. On her death bed I gave her my Tulsi neckbeads, put Radha Kunda water on her head, chanted with her and played Srila Prabhupada japa.  My family members really had no clue how to help her move on from this body and for once they saw me in a new light, as I was the only one that was able to hold it together. 

By spring time I started a small business of growing food/bulk buying dried fruits, nuts and selling it at the Sunday Feast, farmers markets, grocery stores. There were many difficulties in this endeavour, and I was not making much money doing it, however this certainly can be profitable if things are organized better.

In August I started working off the farm at a grocery store, now I am in the midst of switching jobs to be a greenhouse manager at a local community center. 

I have been trying to pursue a partnership with Alyssa since last winter. It has been up and down, sometimes inspiring and devotionally inclined, most times a struggle.

I feel that my spiritual life as declined tremendously, yet I never stop hoping and praying that I will rise above these lower modes, addictions, and bad habits etc. ASAP. Sometimes I feel a great catastrophe will soon befall my life due to the great ignorance that holds me back from God.  I really only want to be a devotee and to serve in the mission of respiritualizing human society. Lately I have felt the urge to runaway and go to India or to become your travel companion, my heart aches with lonliness and confusion, and I believe something has to change soon.

As far as internet preaching goes, my page is up to nearly 2000 followers, I have been doing regular live streams still. About 5 people have taken things very seriously and started attending their local temple and practicing.  Probably 20 or so others are very close but still on the fence. 

Here are some pictures to show You what I've been up to.

HpS - Running away to India or anything else is not much solution. What you are doing seems reasonable. Just have to push...

push

push  to do mo rounds betta!  Make vow!!!!   Declare it here!  Eg. I will chant. 6-rounds a day minimum, 15,,  for two weeks. Something you know you can do then do it.  The Yuga dharma. The way up can be very quick!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Gurudev, reciba mis respetuosas reverencias, bueno, como siempre seguimos aqui en Huancayo - Perú,

HpS - Ya esta Vd. Alcalde?

...como siempre las pruebas que hay, y como siempre luchando por pasar las pruebas de la bruja maya.

HpS - Y el progresso es eterno!

En la carta anterior me hizo esta pregunta:

Su restaurante, snack, atraya nuevo gente? Clients regular?

Si, hay gente nueva, también hay clientes regulares, la mayoria de gente es vuelve vegetariana por salud, también algunos son enfermos, pues a dos cuadras hay un Hospital, algunos interezados en los libros de Srila Prabhupada y en saber más sobre la conciencia de Krsna. Bueno, el efecto es mucho menor que salir a las calles con los libros de Srila Prabhupada.

HpS - Si, pero si podemos mantener es bueno. Prasadam, prasadam, prasadam, sus corazones se cambian.  Y tambien puede cultivar la gente que encuentran en la calle en el Snack, no?

En mi experiencia propia hay más oportunidad de encontrarce con gente interezada cuando se sale de Sankirtan, la experiencia en ese instante es muy diferente y la energia también, el Sankirtan Yajña para esta era de Kali, obviamente no es un sueño, es la realidad.

HpS - Si, es bueno hombre a hombre en la calle. Hay mucho mas gente, no? Pero cada persona tiene su abilidad y naturaleza. Buscando nuestra posicion en la ejercito de Sri Gauranga.

Por otro lado, la salud esta algo estable, bueno igual todos vamos a Morir, asi que mejor Morir haciendo Sankirtan.

Nuestro Sadhana es regular, Mangal Arik 5 am, Gaura artik los miercoles y sabados, cuatro principios regulativos, 16 rondas de yapa, Gayatris, algunas veces fallando al medio dia pero recuperando en las tardes 6 pm, lectura de Srimad-Bhagavatam canto2, Krsna Book en las noches, solo nos falta la leche caliente, jejeje.

HpS - Cuales capitulos en el libro Krsna, Canto 2?

La base de sankirtan que estamos haciendo en los terrenos, esta entrando a la recta final, esperamos por la misericordia de Sri Nityananda que todo salga bien en estos dos meses de septiembre y octubre.

Quizá un sankirtana viajero para fines de Octubre, (Ayacucho, Cusco, Puno, Bolivia, Arequipa). Esperamos se concrete este Sankirtan viajero.  LIBROS, LIBROS, LIBROS....

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido, gracias por todo, Hare Krsna!!!

Querido Gurumaharaja:
Por favor acepte mis reverencias!
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 
Ayer, 19 de Septiembre, un sismo de 7.1 grados movió fuertemente a México. Esta vez Ciudad de México resultó  afectado. 
El Templo y las Deidades están bien, se está organizando Food for life.
La comunidad de vaisnavas se están  reportando sin daños.  Hemos preguntado y parece que los monos de ASA Mex se encuentran también ilesos.

​​​ A las 11:00 del 19/09/17 se activó la alarma del simulacro conmemorando 32 años del terremoto de 1985, dos horas después la pesadilla se repitió una vez más para México! 

Más de 200 muertos hasta el momento, aún hay gente atrapada en los escombros,  muchos edificios colapsaron incluyendo una escuela con niños. 
No tenemos televisión, pero nos informamos por las redes sociales. 

Aún estamos con el trauma pero agradecidos con Sri Nrsimhadeva; desde el cuarto piso del edificio sin oportunidad de salir pensé  "llegó el momento de partir Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna!!!! " ... pero seguimos vivos! Y el edificio resistió sin daños en esta ocasión. 
Prabhu Manash Ranjan también se encuentra bien. 

Estaré reportando cualquier novedad si Sri Krishna nos permite. 

Sus bendiciones por favor. 
Su eterna aspirante a sirviente 
Asta Sakhi dd.

HpS-ASA --  Hare Krsna!   Require tan fuerte agitacion exterior de Krsna para producir un poco movimiento en nuestras corazones dan duros.  Esforazamos cantar mas. Hay un disaster en Goloka par nuestra absentia.
