URGENTE-Trip to Spain

8 years, 4 months ago by bhaktajosemadrid in Personal Sadhana Reports, Calendar Development

Pamho, TlgaSP.

Querido Gurudeva, aqui seguimos en Malaga Mandir. Intentando cualificarme como discipulo.

Tratando de convivir con mi Dharma etrno y temporal.

Cuidando de Sus Señorias, aunque nos damos cuenta que en realidad Son Ellos quienes cuidan de nosotros, luchando con los sentidos, la mente y con los devotos. Tratando de organizarnos...etc.

Siempre que puedo asisto al Harinama de los viernes por la tarde.

Este año de una manera u otra creo que he agotado mis viajes.

¿Puede venir a Malaga tambien algunos dias?. Igual puede entrar o salir de España por Málaga y en tren rapido (ave) se tardan menos de tres horas en llegar a Madrid.

Bueno, independientemente de si podemos o no vernos este año siempre le llevo en mi corazón.

Me gustaría ser mejor discipulo. (Trabajando en ello).

Su intento de sirviente.

Jharikhanda-gaura Das.

HpS - ASA - Muchas gracias su carta!!! No hay vuelos diecto de EEUU a Malaga y pienso aun tres (seis envuelta) horas de viaje es bastante fuerte para nuestra viaje viejo. Comenza pensar, orar, en ir a Nueva Vraja Mandala?
Hay trabajo para nosotros en Malaga?

URGENTE TRIP TO SPAIN? AND SOME NEWS

8 years, 4 months ago by Sananda in Personal Sadhana Reports, Calendar Development

HARE KRSNA GURUDEVA,

PAOHO,AGTSP!!

WE READ IN THE WHATSAPP DISCIPLE´S GROUP, YOU MAY BE TRAVELLING TO SPAIN

IN APRIL.

I (SANANDA) START WORKING IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS IN A SPORTS CENTER IN THE RECEPTION

AND ENTERTAINMENT (FOR CHILDREN). I DON´T THINK I WILL MANAGE TO HAVE DAYS OFF

TO TRAVEL, BUT I WISH TO...

BHADRA AND I FOUND AN INTERESTING PLACE HERE TO DO SOME HUMBLE PREACHING, IT IS

AN INTERESTING PROJECT CALLED "THE BANK OF TIME" WHERE PEOPLE SWAPS MEDITATIONS,

THEY ALL READ A BOOK AND THEN DEBATE, THERE IS A LITERATURE TEACHER THAT TEACHES

THE GROUP TO ANALIZE TEXTS...ETC. THE MAIN LADY THAT RUNS THE PROJECT IS VERY OPEN

AND INVITED US TO GO THERE WHEN WE ARE READY.

I THINK EVEN AS PART OF MY JOB THERE IS A CHANCE FOR ME TO DO SOMETHING TO SHARE

SOME BITS OF THE PROCESS AND MAYBE DISTRIBUTE SOME PRASADAM, AS THEY WANT

ME TO WORK WITH SCHOOLS DURING THE WINTERS. THEY ALSO SEEM QUITE OPEN TO LET ME

DO SOMETHING MORE EDUCATIONAL WHERE I COULD INCLUDE SOME "ORIENTAL CULTURE"...

WE PRAY THAT WE CAN SERVE YOU HERE, AND THAT YOU WILL BECOME PLEASED WITH US, ALTHOUGH

WE OFTEN FEEL WE WILL NEVER BE FITTED TO ATTAIN SUCH GOAL.

BHADRA VD AND SANANDA DD

HpS - Hare Krsna. There is a relatively cheap ticket on Delta leaving Sunday April 2nd and arriving Spain the 3rd morning. 4th is Rama-navami. The flight number is 108! The return is cheap on the 10th or 11th, so we could stay for one week. Anyone have any suggestions? Should we visit Spain? Stay Nueva Vraja Mandala for one week for a Rama-navami Festival?

Hare Krisna, dear Gurudeva.

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope your fine in all aspects.

We are fine by Krisna's Mercy.

I only thank you for your last letter. It helped me to see from other point of view.

Are you coming soon to Spain finally? I don't know if Jayanta Prabhu is in charge of that or not.

Carcika is waiting for her medical treatment for the cancer. Manu is growing up fantastically.

Thank you for all.

Your humble servant, Dandava das.

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP. paoho.... Thank you for your sincere devotion to ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada, Nitai-Gaura, Radha-Shyama and the marvellous Sri Sri Krsna-Balarama.

We got back from this hellish and heavenly trip to [Mexico] India about 8-hours ago. Our body is recovering quickly, but we are VERY, VERY weak at the present moment, so we must be careful not damage Brother Ass.

Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna.

Cancer, disease, these are good friends for a devotee. It would not be a bad thing if we had a heart attack before your read this letter and you and Carcika and Manu all died in an auto accident within 6-hours after you read it.

O.K?

http://www.vedabase.com/en/bg/13/8-12 ... "Unless we have a pessimistic view of this material life" ...

The body rots so that a new body can be born.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

We have no big travel expectations until 17th May. Then we expect to visit: Denver, Boise, San Francisco/Sacramento and the Pacific Northwest.

After that Lima, La Paz, Santiago, 21st June through 28th July.

[Pacific] India, for September October.

So, we can visit Madrid, Brihuega any time from now until 17th May.

Got any ideas?

Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna.

Write every day. Read it a week later and let a strategy for Sankirtan develop!

Conquer the world for Krsna!

Hare Krishna Dear Maharaj!

Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupad! All glories to Sri Gaurangaaa! All glories to you!

I was writing in regards to your update on the blog with Delta – and praying to serve you in some way! Would it be okay for my family and I to sponsor an upgrade to your ticket?! To business or first class?! If you send your flight details, I can work out the upgrade on my end and send it back to you.

Or you could modify if you prefer and then just send the bill for the ticket! Please let me know!

When are you leaving India, and where are you heading to next? Houston? Please please please let us be of service! I understand your health has been wavering and would very much be obliged if I can assist in any way for your comfort for such a long journey.

Thank you for your mercy!

Your aspiring servant,

SuGopi dd

(this was sent as an email as well-- intended for whichever you checked first!)

HpS - Thank you. We just answered this and the next letter with copies to Jiva Goswami in Texas. If it can be upgraded by your friend that is O.K. However, we think that the Upgrade effort will only work if Krsna wants. If He wants it will have a negative effect and we will get to the airport and they will say, "Oh, something has happened to your ticket and it is cancelled!".

Haw! Haw! Hurray!. Maya tries to make us furious at Her. Hate her, lust after her, she doesn't care. In either case we are attached dominating her and not serving Krsna. She has her job. We don't concern oursleves with it too much unless it is part of our service also!

Delta's Answer

8 years, 4 months ago by hps in Calendar Development

Hare Krsna! Hare Rama!

It took almost one month for the answer from Delta, and it seems that they have a poorly paid employee who reads many letters like ours daily and then picks a form letter and fills in some spaces in the letter with extracts from the complaint letter and then gives a token compensation of Sky Miles and goes on to the next letter. It is actually funny, crazy! How can people exist like this? Of course, they can't. Marsha does this out of fear of death and starvation and humiliation and abandonment and drowns her sorrows in some form of intoxication.

We would say that the best preaching strategy in these situations is the one that it appears Prahlad Maharaja adopted when preaching to his father: Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (7.5.30) and the few accompanying texts. Apparently he did not think his father would accept his comments, but at least he heard the truth and at some point it would have an effect.

In Vrndavana Dhama only Krsna and Balarama kill demons. Everyone else just calls, "Hare Krsna! Hare Rama!". . . unless K/B empower us to kill demons.

Whhooooosh@ Bang! Gronk!!! SMashHH!

Dear Dr. Robinson,

RE: Case Number 22345393

Thanks for your email letting us know about your scheduled trip from IAH with Air France. I'm really sorry your flight was delayed. I realize how frustrating it was to be rerouted to travel with KLM via Amsterdam, and because you had to wait so long in line when you arrived, you missed your connection with Jet Airways to Delhi and ended up spending the night at the airport. It's also disappointing to hear that you didn't get the care you were expecting when you were delayed.

I will be sure to forward your concerns on to our Airport Customer Service Leadership Team, so they can consider your experience when making needed changes to improve our service.

Bonus Miles
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but we're unable to offer a complimentary upgrade or ticket as you've requested. As a goodwill gesture, I’m adding 20,000 bonus miles to your SkyMiles account. They should be transferred into your account within three business days.

We love that you're a SkyMiles member. We will do our best to serve you well on your next flight with us.

Regards,

Marsha Smith

Were came in to IAH from Mexico on UA1025. The whole trip from Mexico to Delhi should have taken 24-hours. It took 68-hours. We were routed five times and had to pass two nights in benches in airports. In IAH Delta wrote us over to KLM. KLM gave us IAH boarding pass but said to to KLM counter in Amsterdam for Delhi boarding pass. We did. KLM left IAH two hours late and were had to wait in line at Amsterdam transfer desk for two hours. When we got to desk they said that we had missed the flight and would have to Peru for a new ticket. We explained that it was there delay. They waived the new cost but would not give room for the night. After will night in the airport we fought for our new boarding pass, now with Jet Airways. Got it but art the gate they rebooked us on a flight to Mumbai with connection to Delhi. Connection to Delhi was cancelled and rebooked for a flight six hours later. We're like 70-years old. We had symptoms of a attack by the time this was over. We are here in India to lecture at several universities. We're monks for 40-years and can find happiness and value in any situation. In the sake of fair play for the faults of KLM and Jet can you upgrade us to First or Business classed on the way back. Thank you.

<pre> Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances. </pre>

Next, is a preview of the ´academic sankirtana´ for June of this year:

I.- This year, the activity is a Little smaller than last year´s, the reason being that we are going to establish-starting in March-the Organizing Committee, and the International committee of Honor for the mega-event, by June of 2018: ART AND THE SACRED; that is our priority.

ASA - It seems very weak unless the speakers have lots of chance to develop their dialog on the topics before the public presentations in June!

Of course, we have been very busy during this travel, but it is certainly related! We should also be able to include a very strong presentation from Indians in the above events, and the individual dialogs from all the contacts we are making. Also, we can work on the content of the next Solaris.
We hope to have more of a report in the next few days!!!
