Letters to the editor

Hare Krisna Gurudev,

Please accept muy humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

I think today you arrive to Argentina, Hariibol!!

Sorry about purchasing tickets to travel on Ekadasi. I checked all the calendars we use here and they say Ekadasi is on the 11th, so according to this info you won't be travelling on Ekadasi.

HpS - Yes, Ekadasi is the next day.

But anyway please apologize me!!

HpS - No, your actions are fine.

Your Mar del Plata calendar is settled. Before I post it I want you to confirm everything is ok (O.K.).

You arrive tuesday 10 th at 18:30 hs. You will be staying at Sri Govardhan Mandir. Mangala Aratik there is at 5 am. 

Wednesday 11 th  in the afternoon you will have an interview with the mayor, bishop, renowned journalist or chambers of commerce. 

Thursday 18:30 hs there is a conference at El Torreon del Monje which is a classic spot by the sea. The title is ideal leadership, i thought about Prtu Maharaja teachings. This is organized with a local politic party, and we invited all young people who is interested in polítics.

HpS - ASA -- We can work on this.

Friday 13th at the grand classroom of the National University a conference about Psychology and the Sacred. Science, psique and spirituality (i Didnt mention Jung to much cause here is super psychoanalisis school). But we are there, they accepted us in the main room, so i think lot of students will attend.

Saturday 14th at 5 pm we will go out on Harinam to the commercial center of Sierra de los Padres, the area where our farm is. The idea is distribute books and invite people to the sunday feast.

HpS - Saturday at 10.30AM we have online SB workshop.

Sunday 15 th lecture at the feast at 13 hs.

HpS - In the city or at the Rural Community?

Monday 16th you leave to Bs As at 19:10, have to be at the airport at 17:40. There is nothing scheduled for that day. 

The big question is whether you are going to give SB lectures at 8 AM. Cause I know you don't give two lectures on the same day.

But if you do give the SB class I would like you to choose a specific topic like Pada Padma, Queen Kunti's prayers, Kardama muni and Devahuti, Prahlada's teachings, etc. I can prepare a hand out for atendees. 

Thank you so much Gurudev for coming to Mar del Plata. Is wonderful to have your saintly association here. I hope many devotees come also.

At your service,

Nikunja bihari das.

HpS - Thank you for messaging us on Whatsapp. Since Friday we have not had time to breath. Four classes, workshops a day!   As we were writing Adi-yajna Das came in a said you called. Very nice, thank you. We can do light classes in the morning if there are outside programs during he day. We can discuss Canto Seven, Narada's Instructions on Society and Politics.

On to your next letter.

TLGASP!

Por favor acepte mis reverencias.

Estimado Gurudeva, el sabado 31 de marzo haremos por la mañana la ceremonia annaprasana de mi hija Govinda Lila, en el templo de Bs As. Quería invitarlo a participar, seria muy agradable contar con su presencia.

HpS - Aparece bueno, pero tiene que co-ordinar con La Rati-manjari Devi Dasi por que hay otros programas.

Sigo haciendo servicio fijo en la organización del Ratha Yatra Bs As, y este año estoy haciendo servicio en el departamento de educación del templo y colaborando con comunicación de Iskcon Argentina.

Estamos muy felices porque en unos días se estrena la película Hare Krishna! en nuestro país. Estoy agradecida de poder hacer servicio en la difusión de la película, todos deberían ir al cine a verla! 

Retomando sadhana, 16 rondas (hay días en los que cuesta terminarlas, con bebe pequeña es difícil cantar temprano!) Principios bien, estrictos!

HpS - Cantando ser buena Madre.

Como le dije en su ofrenda de VP, se que soy torpe y que no siempre sigo sus instrucciones en tiempo y forma, pero en mi corazón, Usted es mi maestro espiritual, y espero poder servirlo siempre. Me gustaría que me acepte como su discípula, poder tener una foto suya en mi altar y cantar su pranam mantra. 

Estamos aguardando su llegada!

Quien desea servirlo,

Bktn Lali .

HpS - Hare Krsna.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

PAMHO

I have friends in Bolivia, Brazil so I had the opportunity to watch some videos about your visit. JAYA

Things at work are more sane. I wanted to wake up late but jaja my body was accostumed to wake up at least at 5 am. So we are doing mangala artik at that hour. As U tell me in order not to become stupid.

Tomorrow I will go to Chosica. JAYA Sri Rama

Calendar Proposal April:

April 20th (Friday): Arrival at night, rest in Callao

HpS - This is a confusion that maybe Monkey and Piggy generated. The flight arrives in the morning at 8.45AM from EZE.  So, we can do some work in Lima and rest in Callao or other place if it is better.

April 21st: (Saturday)FMP Callao Then after lunch go to chosik -

HpS - We talked with Karuna Krsna and Gandharava Das and Yugala-kishora Dasi and Saturday night we were thinking of a cultural program with three major aspects and a few minor on Sita Devi and women in ISKCON.

April 22nd: (sunday): FMP IN CHOSIK, SB CLASS. Festival for the pleasure of Sita devi and the Stri dharma

HpS - Variety of programs. Maybe some informative of situation of women in ISKCON Peru, South America, in administration, dance, music, a ladies handicrafts bazaar...

Caitanya Candrodaya and his family were requesting many times, if U may stay in his house. He has plenty of room. So that will be ok?  

HPS - It seems fine with us.

April 23rd: Monday FMP CHOSICA

Cantuta in the morning. Noon arati for Sita devi. In the evening back to Callao.

April 24th: Tuesday Bg Wilson?

HpS - Seems fine to us.

April 25th: Wednesday last meetings. Depart for Mexico at 5PM

Last moment: Today I talked with Patrakji He was asking also if this time may U stay at his home ?

HpS - Problem with staying at his house is having the Full Morning and Evening Programs and many visitors during the daytime, no? Can his sister and mother accomodate all this??  Cooking, internet????  Printer?

Thank U Gurudeva

Looking forward to serve U properly

Your useless servant

*Nikuñja Bihari Prabhu and Ambarisa Maharaja Das, have your plane tickets, for Cba and MDP. We're preparing the General Calendar for send soon. Sorry for delay

HpS - Very nice. We hope we can do a little Sankirtan for you all. Please look at Jayam. The link is in the other letter.

Gurudev I want to make a special request. Here in Buenos Aires, many administrative issues are happening, many changes and I take the boldness to ask if you can give some seminar or class directed to separate the Administration vision from spiritual practice, or something like "How to stay devotee and not die in misunderstandings". We need your enlighten to show our way. all your classes are inspiring, but I want to know if we can go deep in this aspect.

HpS - O.K. That can be the topic of the two BG classes etc. It follows directly from the seminar of the GBC College that we will be giving in Campina Grande.

It is for the Administrators and the Followers both.

Guru Maharaja, personally i want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH, really appreciate your visit and yours efforts to take care of us.

Tomorrow I will send a personal letter answering all yours questions.
Thanks for your time.

Your servant
Rati-Mañjari Devi Dasi.

Hare Krsna,

Thank you for the detailed letter about administrative problems with your selves in Cochabamba. We have heard a little about this but not enough to make any detailed decisions. As I said in the e-mail letter to everyone that we just sent, let us communicate by e-mail and telephone to try to distinguish the reality of the situation for the welfare of all.

_________________________

Hare Krsna,

Gracias por la detallada carta sobre problemas administrativos con ustedes mismos en Cochabamba. Hemos escuchado un poco sobre esto pero no lo suficiente como para tomar decisiones detalladas. Como dije en la carta por correo electrónico a todos los que acabamos de enviar, comuníquenos por correo electrónico y por teléfono para tratar de distinguir la realidad de la situación para el bienestar de todos.

T.L.G.A.S.P.

Nama om vishnu-padaya krishna-preshthaya bhu-tale srimate Hanumatpresaka-svamin iti namine.

PROGRAMA TENTATIVO PARA LA CIUDAD DE COCHABAMBA (22/03/2018)

Querido GM, favor confirmar si le parece el programa tentativo que acontinuacion se detalla, a fin de hacer imprimir los afiche para su estadia en Cochabamba:

HpS - ASA - I cannot confirm the arrival time. We have no news from the devotees about the ticket from La Paz to Cocha. It seems they have it. We have been asking for a long time.

The theme we can use for the seminars is Upadesamrta, the Essence of All Wisdom. Then we can talk about anything. We can also distribute the books. If you don't have any then make some copies. The BBT has authorized it.

Best schedule is:
arrive,
go to Ashrama, little reception, Prasadam, then Taller Uno de Upadesamrta (diagolos practicos),
descansa, almuerzo,
consultas antes de gaura arati, Upadesamrta Taller Dos descansa.

O.K. Somos con Abhirama Das.
