Guru Maharaja, I started to follow you instruction about reading, but some day I not do it, but will fix it soon. Sorry because of my impersonalism, I know you're giving me the medicine I effort a lot to be able to drink it.

Gurudev you think this Calendar is too extreme? you want less activities? in my inexperience maybe i make many mistakes, please let me know if something is not good.

Gurudeva you're always present in my heart in my activities and I want to make my best effort to be a good part of Srila Prabhupada movment.  Thanks for your patience. And sorry for any mistake I can commit.
Gurudeva any word can express the gratefulness i feel because of your mercy. Please leave me live for ever in your eternal shelter.
Jaya Srila Prabhupada!

Your disciple who want to surrender to your holy lotus feet.
Rati-Manjari Devi Dasi.

HpS - AGTSP! Looks like nice schedule. We imaging Vaikuntha but realize we in hell. So, looks like wonderful Sankirtan in hell. We do our little part and then Krsna does the MAGIC!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva . Please accept our  obeisances to your lotus feet.  

HpS - ASA - AGTSP! Actually our feet are not much swollen at all. I think it is 90% being caused by sitting at a desk. This is not natural for us. We need a platform to sit and write and sleep. I guess we will try to change it as soon as possible.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you 

Its been a while since i havent write you . i guess i didnt know how to do it so i let time passes . but i dont want to do that anymore . 

im chanting all my rounds . trying to read more . thats helping me . and trying to coordinate your coming (actually rati manjari is the one doing all the hard work) . there is a big disconection bettween all of us. im trying my best but its no easy . still we keep trying. there are many things i want to speak to you . but im not able to do it here. maybe when you come here . i would love that Gurudeva . i hope your physichal health its ok . thank you for everything .Who want to serve  Sarad Bihari Dasi

HpS - AGTSP!   Thank you. It is simple, no? We will be disconnected with each other to the degree that we are disconnected with Krsna. So, we have to have more, better Japa, Kirtan, Sankirtan, books, Deity, Temple service etc. for Krsna!

He is very generous, no?

You must be experiencing that. All the efforts we try add up, forever. So keep on working!! Everything that you do that is hard, for Krsna, has permanent, broad effect.

Of course, we can discuss specific details when we are in BsAs, but we can't help 25-people with 3-hours of individual consultation each in one week. So lets start with general questions now.

Takes head work but once the principles are really clear then the details are more natural.

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP 

PAMHO ¡¡

 I hope this meets U in really good health ¡¡¡¡

Our Sadhana is ok fixed in mangala artik, 16 rounds daily, our reading MUST improve ¡¡¡ But the new BV semester will help a lot ¡¡¡ 

Our life has changed a lot, we are not in charge of pujari anymore but we have service as pujari in wilson, also we go to chosica once a month, but we guess that on December we will go all Saturdays due to on January we will go the ASA TOUR ¡¡¡ and will be absent for two months ¡¡¡

We continue helping Jagad Guru for the Latin American Congress in Education ¡¡¡ we like really like the meetings and the group we work with ¡¡¡

Being in a relationship is really nice we learn a lot from each other, specially to be tolerant, and symphatetic. For me is a new service. I try to do it with patience and dedication. We as ladies  protect them  and get strong by being chaste right Gurudeva?? What else can I do to help him???

 HpS - ASA - Well, AgtSP!     Paoho....  You are (almost) Bhakti-vaibhvin, no? So, what have you learned practically about Stri-dharma in your studies? Starting from Upadesamrta, NOD, BG, Isopanisad, SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM: Canto One, Canto Two ... Three...  Where are there good instructions how to execute your Dharma.
Everyone is waiting for your answer!
 

It is really nice try to do service together. On Govardhana puja we did service in pujari and the whole festival was really nice ¡¡¡ NBD has so many good qualities that is very easy and natural for us to serve him. But we have a lot of challenges to face also.  However we know that by putting Krsna in the center, worshiping the deitiy and being fixed on Sadhana everything will be all right. Please Gurudeva any further advice may U have???

ASA - Same as above to start with, no?

Tomorrow is Ratha Yatra ¡¡¡¡¡¡ uffffff many many devotees specially young devotees made a lot of effort to carry on with this festival ¡¡¡

We hope that Lord Jagannatha may be at least a little please with us ¡¡

JAYA JAGANNATHA ¡¡¡

We are attaching also one picture from Rama Vijaya we did the flower dress for Sita (the small one)

Thank u for your daily associaton ¡¡

Trying to be your disiciple [disciple] '0'

Candramukhi dd

HpS - ASA -  We add some Rathayatra photos. It is very special chance to go from Vaidhi-bhakti to Raganuaga Bakti to even Vraja-bhakti in the mood of Radharani. Pull Then back to Vraja.
CC Madhya 13.120-133. Then Lord Jagannatha is in Vrndavana for two weeks or more after the Rathayatra, so Wilson will be Vraja for two weeks. Prabhupada requested a festival every day during this time and then a return Rathayatra. You could take little Deities back. If we try to arrange all these festivals Laksmi Devi will help us.

ys etasa krsna das

HpS - ASA - Jaya! AGTSP! I sent a sample poster. We look at this as the first of a series of visits. It all depends on who becomes our friends, then we can do more and bigger programs in the area of academics and culture.
Thank you so much.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

PAMHO

In our weekly meeting with brahminical comité to the Congress we have discussed the GENERAL MISSION and the KEY OBJETIVES.

We want to know your opinion and We want to know if you can add something that we have overlooked:

GENERAL MISSION of the CONGRESS

GATHER HISPANIC ISKCON DEVOTEES  OCCUPIED IN EDUCATION OR THOSE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING, COLLABORATE AND KNOW ABOUT IT.  

KEY OBJECTIVES

• Creating effective networks among educators in ISKCON.
• To inform and encourage audience participation in the educational activities of ISKCON.
• To publicize and share different current educational proposals of ISKCON or those that could serve the congregation of ISKCON.
• To present perspectives and definitions about the concept of education in ISKCON.
• To establish a communication system with the Ministry of  ISKCON Education through a representative or a  committee of representatives.
• To set date, place and objectives of the Second Latin American Congress of Education ISKCON.
• To identify strengths and challenges we face in the current  Hispanic ISKCON  education and elaborate  practical proposals for implementation.

On the other hand, after this review, we will begin to send a detailed document to our speakers, with these objetives and the mission et al, and we will specify there how long should be every conference. So, according your experience, what is better? To give different timings to different speakers according their relevance? We should to have an avarage  timetothe conferences? Which is the better average?

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. Well, yes, you can certainly allocate time depending on which topics and presenters you think need more time. You can even have a round-table discussion at the end with several presenters so that the audience can have more time with the specific presenters as they require.
Thank you so much. Please send us the preliminary registration information as soon as possible! We want to come!

Thank your very much for your attention and time guru maharaj.

Your aspirant to eternal servant

Jagad Guru Das

Hare Krisna beloved Gurudev,
Please acept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Here we are at Eseiza airport, soon mangala aratik in SM, we are heading to Pay Roo, meet with CMDD and her family, devotees , Rupanuga das, and of course Sri Sri Radha Madhan Bihari.

I want to ask you about your current sankirtan work in education and with Carl Jung. What is the purpose of both programs? What is your goal with them?

What kind of programs are more suitable to accomplish your goals?

What we should do in order to help you better?

Shall we read Carl Jung biography? Is this program only to psychologist? or more like a bridge to bring people in general to KC?

Shall we make research about education in our local countries? I found out that Peru is number one in education with the 79% of his population finishing high school. Of course we aim to another type of education.

How important is for us to study Bhakti Sastri and Bhakti vaibhava in order to push education in ISKCON?

We are in good communication with our gothbrothers/sisters in order to organize your south american tour. I'm trying to cooperate with everybody, cordoba, bs as, chile, peru.

Our plan is to make a short visit to cordoba, very very short to bs as so we can go to chile for the symposium.

Please enlighten us so we can help you better.

Trying to serve you.

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - AGTSP!  Paoho. Are you still in Peru? How was the visit with everyone?
You have asked many questions. Would take a long time to answer in some ways. In general the answer is there in the INtroduction to the Upadesamrta: We want to study the literature left by the Six Goswamis (Srila Prabhuapda's Purports) so that we can help Lord Caitanya in His mission of giving the Science of Krsna to the world.
In that respect we have to understand our spiritual level and our material nature. Carl Jung is a good area for us to work. Srila Prabhupada appreciated him. The practical results just go on leading us forward and help us to refine how we want to approach him.

Lord Caitnya took Sannyasa from Mayavadi sampradaya to reach a certain audience.

If your nature reacts then yes, read Jung's biography. Is nice perspective for a devotee. Abhirama Das in Lima has good copy.

Our approach is to re-read the biography, Tavistock lectures and now we have found some of the Jung Journals and some good articles there. We had so much to do with these other education programs in ISKCON such as primary school, but we are reducing that and also the administrative work in Bhakti Vaibhava etc. We now have time to start reading the Journal article. One we read introduces a very nice scholar and he gives references to other Jung works on Oriental psychology and how to realate to it.

So, that is how we shall go ahead.

Main thing is to meet the people, meet the people, meet the people. As we learn about Jung and his followers lets meet with them. That's all:

We remain pure by our Sadhana
Krsna sends innocent people (Jungians et al)
They remain patiente  to understand the actual situation of this material world.
