Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda, and to his disciples like you who are offering all your abilities to please him.

Please find attached the proposed schedule of academic and cultural saṅkīrtana activities during your stay in Lima. We sincerely hope that, under your inspiring guidance and presence, we may strengthen our spirit of saṅga, deepen our chanting of the Holy Names (especially our meditation with Japa), and renew our commitment to sincere service to Śrīla Prabhupāda and to Kṛṣṇa Himself.

We await you with utsāha, niścaya, and dhairya—and, of course, with prasādam in the form of mangoes and bananas. Jaya Śrī Rāma!!!!

Hare Krishna, your servant,

Bhakta Manuel

HpS/ASA - Thank you.

AgtSP.

At 78-years old we kind of exist in a fog in terms of the future. Yet we do try to note all things properly.

These festivals event do change our heart, no?

Each year they help us wake up a little more!

Hope you are able to get out and meet interesting people!

Hare Krishna, dear gurudeva. Pamho, AGTSP!

I hope yor sankirtan is going well.

HpS/ASA - TlgaSP!!! Very nice to hear from you.

Our occupation in Srila Prabhupada's, Sri Sri Nitai-Gauranga Sankirtana is wonderful. It is their mercy. Only hope that we can expand it more and more. That ISKCON can become a healthy part of the nation of Peru.

I've been talking to Abhirama about programs in Chosica for your visist. He said that you are coming to Chosica 2 different days.

I've been talking to Karuna Krishna also, about details for Temple activities.

We have proposals for Sunday, March 23th and 26th (Rama navami festival):

On Sunday 23rd a Guru-tattva seminar, a shared conference between you and Radhika-raman Prabhu at 8 am until Govinda 9.30 am.

At 4 PM, after lunch, a seminar on education by Mataji.

You can come for Mangal-aratik that day.

For Rama-navami, Thursday, 26th March, a working day, we have afternoon program:

Four-thirty pm is Abhiseka, 5.30 pm Drama, 6pm Class, 7 pm Gouraratik. Could be 5.30 class and 6.30 drama. You, may be, don't need to be here since Mangalartik.

ASA - Jaya! Maybe Drama after Class. Talk about the Drama and then see it.

Anyone will want to come from Lima after working hours and join a program in Chosica? All go back to Lima in the evening?

Maybe morning program in Lima. Fasting until Noon.

What is the latest that people should leave from Chosica to get back to Lima timely?

We are looking forward to have a little Vapu with you in Peru.

HpS/ASA - We have been restricted from travel by the body, buddy, but now the doctors agree that if we deal with it properly, then it can travel well enough.

Peru... Peru... Peru... Contributing the family life that we all once knew!

The cult of Vasudeva and Sankarsana! The original Gods of the Andes!

Write stories, books, preach the Krsna book!

We don't have the general Calendar in front of us of dates for Peru visit, but trust your lucidity 😃.

Your servant,

The LAD
