Querido Gurumaharaja,

 

Nos alegra mucho, saber que viene a Perú.


En nuestra carta anterior le comenté que hay un equipo de mis hermanos espirituales que están entusiasmados de poder colaborar en su servicio y para todo esto, estamos organizándonos para procurar que usted tenga una buena estadía.


Viendo lo de su visita en su arribo a Lima-Perú, que será desde el 20 al 28 de marzo 2026, ya empezamos a organizarnos para su llegada.


Nuestra inquietud, es saber si Ud., se quedara unos días en Lima a su llegada o será rumbo a Chosica; así como también si se quedara los 8 días en Lima o los 8 días en Chosica; o también en los 2 lugares tanto Lima como en Chosica; pues si es que se quedaría en Lima ya se tiene un lugar para su estadía que madre Jaya Lakshmi y su equipo ya lo reservaron y si desea quedarse en Chosica, se está viendo lugares que sean prácticos para su estadía y cerca del templo.


Aunque también tenemos entendido que podría quedarse en casa de Abhirama Prabhu, si es su deseo; tratare de comunicarme con él.


El siguiente punto es sobre la fiesta de Ramanavami que cae según calendario el jueves 26 de marzo, día de semana, entendemos que días antes estaría ya en Chosica.

Le estaremos informando más detalles de acuerdo con las reuniones que tendremos y a la expectativa sobre las decisiones que Ud., tome en esta grandiosa visita.


Nuestro único deseo es poder servirlo en su estadía por Lima-Perú, juntamente con todos sus discípulos que están deseosos de poder realizar un servicio a Ud.


Invitaremos a todos nuestros hermanos espirituales de todo el Yatra Perú para una reunión vía zoom y comentarles sobre su visita.

Atentamente

 

Su eterno sirviente

Govinda Caran das

HpS/ASA - Agt Srila Prabhupada! Paoho!


Dear Gurumaharaja,

We are very happy to hear that you are coming to Peru.

In our previous letter, I mentioned that a team of my spiritual brothers and sisters are eager to collaborate in your service, and we are organizing everything to ensure you have a pleasant stay.


Regarding your visit upon arrival in Lima, Peru, from March 20th to 28th, 2026, we have already begun making arrangements for your arrival.


HpS/ASA - I think I mentioned before that we are still working to fix the travel to Santiago from Madrid, then STG to LIM, and LIM to USA.

I will send a link to this Blog Post to Sriman Jagad guru Das so he can keep our travel in perspective as he works on the Third Hispano-American Congress on Education with ISKCON.


We are wondering if you will stay a few days in Lima upon arrival or if you will travel to Chosica; also, if you will stay all 8 days in Lima or all 8 days in Chosica; or perhaps in both places. If you decide to stay in Lima, we already have a place for you that Mother Jaya Lakshmi and her team have reserved. If you wish to stay in Chosica, we are looking for convenient accommodations near the temple.


We also understand that you could stay at Abhirama Prabhu's house, if that is your wish; I will try to contact him.


HpS - In general, we just want to stay where we can offer the most service to Srila Prabhupada's movement.

Seems like both Lima and Choseeka.

Maybe visiting some professional friends in Lima an devotees.

Then maybe a guest house for the weekend in Choseeka, near Radha Madana bihari!!



The next point concerns the Ramadan festival [Ramadan is the Muslim festival, no? our festival is the also all glorious Rama Navami], which falls on Thursday, March 26th, a weekday. We understand that you will be in Chosica a few days prior.


HpS - Again, just to associate with devotees and participate in the festival service.

Today is 12 November, so, although I agree completely that planning ahead is essential, we still have four months and two weeks to fix the details with Sripada Karuna-krsna Das et al, no?

Maybe Mathuresa Das and his family et al can come!!

Regional Festival.

  • Bajo Peru,
  • Alto Peru,
  • Ecuador!


We will keep you informed of more details as we hold our meetings and await your decisions during this important visit.


Our only desire is to serve you during your stay in Lima, Peru, along with all your disciples who are eager to serve you.


We will invite all our spiritual brothers and sisters from across Yatra Peru to a Zoom meeting to discuss your visit.

Sincerely,

Your eternal servant,

Govinda Caran Das

Dear Gurumaharaja:

We read your letter on the blog, where you mention that you are working on the schedule for the next quarter, January to March 2026, for your international programs.


You mention that you might land in Chile in March, and that you would like to visit Lima and then Argentina.


Please, Gurumaharaja, could you confirm if you will be visiting Lima, Peru in March?

Because here in Lima, I and several of our spiritual brothers and sisters are very excited if you confirm your arrival in Lima.


We are meeting and organizing in case your visit to Lima is confirmed in advance. Sincerely,

Your eternal servant,

Govinda Caran das



HpS - Hare Krsna.

So, nice to hear from you!!!

We are trying to confirm things with Jagad guru Das and the Third ISKCON Latin American Congress on Education and meetings for cooperation with the Chilean Ministry of Education et al.


We would come with Yadunandana Swami from Spain. He would go back home, back to La Mancha through BsAs. We would only go North to Peru.


We published the current proposals in the WhatsApp, anvaSeka groups community. Do you belong to that?

Abhirama Das Thakur can put you in touch.


Just watch for the postings here of the Calendar when it is fixed.


In general, physical body basically was finished by 30-35 years old and then our mind last December. Now we are like Hanuman in Kali yuga. Dreaming of the material world and and hopefully traveling to the spiritual world.

Let us all take birth in Nadiya with Nimai, no???
