Hare Krishna, Dear Gurumaharaja,

Please accept our sincere obeisances

All glories to srila Prabhupada


Gurudeva, this letter is a report on the progress in Nueva Govardhan Monterrey, as well as Sankirtan programs as your visit approaches in March 2023.


In a friendly manner it has been decided that the administration and decision of the local activities will be done by the team in Monterrey: Gadhadar Gosai and his wife Anandamaya mataji, Lalita Mataji, Bhakta Guillermo, and Govinda Pramodini. Of course with your guidance.


Gadhadhar gosai Prabhu and Family wants to extend their welcome to all devotees who want to visit, all can connect with him at +52 81 2445 8048, email: [email protected]


Nueva Govardhan has a 80% progress, working with the surrounding resources that krishna provides. We are building with ecological construction technologies with bamboo from the area, we are near the river. Krishna always sends new people to collaborate in some way in the sankirtan. We are in the construction of roads through the different forests. 3 geodesic domes in progress, and we are expected to have 5 with capacity of a family per dome. We are improving the educational spaces, greenhouse, gosala, temple room...Also today they installed fiber optic internet...


Apart from the main house we now have another house for matajis thanks to the help of enthusiastic devotees hearing about their visit.


We are designing permaculture systems and very happy as a family collaborating to serve all the devotees.


Regarding Sankirtan, Two of the most important Universities in Mexico (located in Monterrey) confirmed that we can do programs with them:


  • Tec de Monterrey - March 15, from 3 to 5 pm, auditorium with capacity for 60 people.
  • UDEM - March 16 from 4:00 to 5:25 pm, auditorium with capacity for 80-100 people.

The theme that both universities were most interested in developing is "Cultivation of the Human Spirit", in a conference format with questions and answers.


___


As an option, the possibility of showing the film "The Light of the Bhagavata" at UDEM the following week after the Sankirtan on March 16 is open. This is for the general public. What day do you consider auspicious for the screening to take place?


HpS/ASA - Look at the Vaisnava calendar and then consider the secular situation and yes, show the movie.


We can use selected verses from LOB for the two lecture programs and then invite people to join the cultural program: Kirtan, Movie, Kirtan/ Prasadam.


Also, some Tec de Monterrey directors would like to have a session to implement the cultivation of the human spirit in the teaching of students.


We require to know what date you consider auspicious to propose to them. It can be a week before or a week after Sankirtan on March 15.


HpS - Again, we have no preference.


We believe that this could be a good beginning of the relationship between NIOS and the Universities of Monterrey.


HpS - The Avanti schools in England have a very formal, detailed, working relationship with Cambridge University called Camast as far as we know.

The project in Monterrey could become formally connected with the university.


A program for the protection of cows and animals and theatre & art are also being developed and we look forward to providing you with more details in the next report.


ASA - If you go to

http://www.jayarama.us/archives/

You will see many files that start with "LOB". They all have materials for development a Cultivation of the Human Spirit symposium.

http://www.jayarama.us/archives/lob-sym-production.doc


Is like a production guide. The wave has come? Are we ready?

Hold on!

We are attentive to your advice and instructions Gurumaharaja


We attach the dates of the sankirtan activities so far and some photographs of the University spaces.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada


Gurudeva, esta carta es un informe sobre el progreso en Nueva Govardhan Monterrey, así como los programas de Sankirtan a medida que se acerca su visita en marzo de 2023.


De manera amistosa se ha decidido que la administración y decisiónes de las actividades locales estarán a cargo del equipo de Monterrey: Gadhadar Gosai y su esposa Anandamaya mataji, Lalita Mataji, Bhakta Guillermo y Govinda Pramodini. Por supuesto con su guía Gurumaharaja.


Gadhadhar gosai Prabhu and Family quieren extender su bienvenida a todos los devotos que quieran visitar, todos pueden conectarse con él al +52 81 2445 8048, correo electrónico: [email protected]


Nueva Govardhan tiene un 80% de avance, trabajando con los recursos circundantes que proporciona krishna. Estamos construyendo con tecnologías de construcción ecológica con bambú de la zona, estamos cerca del río. Krishna siempre envía gente nueva para colaborar de alguna manera en el sankirtan. Estamos en la construcción de caminos a través de los diferentes bosques. 3 domos geodésicos en proceso, y se espera tener 5, con capacidad de una familia por domo. Estamos mejorando los espacios educativos, invernadero, gosala, sala del templo... También hoy instalaron internet de fibra óptica... Ahora tenemos otra casa para matajis gracias a la ayuda de devotos entusiastas al enterarse de su visita.


Estamos diseñando sistemas de permacultura y muy felices como familia colaborando para servir a todos los devotos.


En cuanto a Sankirtan, Dos de las Universidades más importantes de México (ubicadas en Monterrey) confirmaron que podemos hacer programas con ellas:


Tec de Monterrey - 15 de marzo, de 3 a 5 pm, auditorio con capacidad para 60 personas.


UDEM - 16 de marzo de 4:00 a 5:25 pm, auditorio con capacidad para 80-100 personas.


El tema que más les interesó desarrollar a ambas universidades es “Cultivo del Espíritu Humano”, en formato de conferencia con preguntas y respuestas.


___


Como opción se abre la posibilidad de proyectar la película “La Luz del Bhagavata” en UDEM la semana siguiente después del Sankirtan del 16 de marzo. Esto es para público en general. ¿Qué día considera usted auspicioso para que se lleve a cabo la proyección? 


También a algunos directores del Tec de Monterrey les gustaría tener una sesión para implementar el cultivo del espíritu humano en la enseñanza de los estudiantes. Requerimos saber qué fecha considera usted auspiciosa para proponerles. Puede ser una semana antes o una semana después del Sankirtan del 15 de marzo. 


Creemos que este puede ser un buen comienzo de relación entre NIOS y las Universidades de Monterrey. 


También se están desarrollando un programa para la protección de vacas y animales y teatro&arte y esperamos brindarle más detalles en el próximo informe.


Estamos atentos a tus consejos e instrucciones Gurumaharaja


Adjuntamos las fechas de las actividades de sankirtan hasta el momento y algunas fotografías de los espacios de la Universidad.

Aniversario de la instalación de las Deidades

2 years, 1 month ago by Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi in Calendar Development

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Śrīla Prabhupāda!


Muchas gracias por su santa asociación.

Respecto a la conexión online por la aparición y celebración de Vyasa-puja de Locana das Ṭhākura, y SS Hanumatpresaka Swami y el parampara. También habrá un humor festivo en Occidente por el nacimiento de Jesús esos días.


Envío los cálculos de tiempos con el reciente cambio, regresamos al horario normal. Este año anunciaron la eliminación del horario de verano.


24 de Diciembre:

5:30 pm de India

23 de Diciembre:

6:00 am Ciudad de México

7:00 am Lima


Muchas gracias por su misericordia Gurumaharaja.


Alguna ofrenda de bhoga en particular para el parampara?


HpS - Thank you for the information about the exact timings!

Menu for Vyasapuja we would request no Soya, Toffu etc.

Traditional Mexican dishes are usually wonderful.

Arroz, frijoles, tortillas de maiz.... tamales, tostadas etc.

O.K.?


Por otro lado, el templo ha empezado la planeación de la celebración majestuosa del 50 aniversario de la instalación de las Deidades, parece ser que se realizará justamente durante su visita a Ciudad de México. Estaremos enviando mayores informes conforme haya avances.


HpS - Super! Jaya Sri Rama!


También leímos que existe la posibilidad de volver a visitar México en Agosto del 2023.


¡Es una posibilidad maravillosa!


Talves podamos lograr que esa visita se centre más cerca de Ciudad de México en esa ocasión, por ahora tratamos de aprovechar lo mejor posible los 6 días de visita en el mes de Marzo para beneficio de todos y con sus bendiciones podemos continuar en Agosto.


Sus Señorías Radha Madana Gopal son especialmente poderosas, con Ellas he realizado que realmente Krsna es quien controla y mantiene el universo entero, desde nuestro entendimiento a Isvara podemos ir avanzando poco a poco.


Muchas gracias Gurumaharaja.

Por favor disculpe nuestras ofensas.

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Asta Sakhi dd


HpS - Tan pronto que es posible es importante dejar nuestras mascaras, disfraces, y salir de esta cine, y volver a ayudar con la oganizacion de los festivales de Radha-Krsna in Goloka, no?

Es bueno si eso es nuestra ultima respiracion del aire material, no?


Annual report

2 years, 2 months ago by stopngo in Personal Sadhana Reports, Calendar Development

Hare Krishna His Devine Grace Hanumatpresake Swami

All glories to srilia Prabhupada

All glories to the vishnavas

Please accept my humble obeisances.

Let me first say is what a Honor to have this privilege of being able to have your association and follow your glorious activities that inspire and encourage everyone.

Trying to keep up with all that materializes in your programs leaves me wondering how much more productive I need to be.

Myself I'm still serving in San Diego and now have the good fortune of dressing the deity's, I'm most fortunate in this regards.

I love the intamacy of serving there lordships.

I also do fruit offerings, back up services.puja to Tulsi, Prabhupada and noon Arti and fill in on alter when needed.

I'm the Gardener which is my therapy and in southern California something is always blooming.

I'm thinking of ashram life how important it is to always have that shelter.most important in the nectar of instruction.

My consideration is I'm basically a dead man walking and the fear of being a burden is a concern of mine.there's no room in the front ashram and the other is for vary young Brahmacaris.

Los Angeles has nice facilities and awesome devotees.i just love the natural beauty of San Diego.

Either way it's Krsnas call and I'm seeing what his wishes are.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! First, it is great to ge these detailed reports. Very great. Like nectar. Yet, please fill in the formal report by clicking the "Report" button on the option ribbon above.

Second, what about working with the authorities and starting another B'cari Ashrama. Temple could contribute part of the cost. It could be you and one other person first. Then even six unrelated people in an apartment, house near the Temple?

Gainesville Temple has similar arrangment.


I follow your calendar and see you'll be back in Radha kund in March. I'd love to go there and serve while I'm still able to.

HpS - Now the Calendar is:

November 30th - January 9th = Near Radha-kunda.

9 - 24 = GEV, Imphal, Silchar, Agartala (Bombay then Northeast India).

24 - 22 February = Spain

22 - March 4 = Houston

4 - 3 April = Mexico (Monterrey, Mexico City)

3 - ??? = Houston, Nashville(?), August Mexico (??), India (???)

2024 November Go to Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan. (???)


Not sure how you handle everyone's conflicts it'd be a daunting task. I try not being that needy person and perfer giving so I'll spare you your time and gave you a glimpse of where I'm at.and wish I was doing more.

If there's any insights on any aspect of my life that need attention please direct me what needs to be done.

Eternally you're servant

Mani Bandhani das


HpS///ASA- Your words are nectar.

Take the helm, sailor! 😁

Again, go to the Report link above and fill in the short form there also!

Iniciaciones en Ciudad de México

2 years, 2 months ago by Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi in Calendar Development


Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Muchas gracias por la inspiración en el servicio al gran capitán de este gran barco llamado ISKCON. 

Recordamos haber leído de parte de Usted una inspiración de Prabodhananda Sarasvati con palabras de aprecio y amor dirigidos a ISKCON, nos llevó a la inspiración de seguir trabajando en un movimiento que despierta la conciencia dormida por el hechizo de maya pero quizá administrativamente va despacio, a entender un poco su propia lucha y nos motivó el deseo de ser el neófito que desea avanzar en el proceso trascendental que Śrīla Prabhupāda describe en sus libros, mediante su guía y la asociación de los vaisnavas. Muchas gracias por inspirarnos cada día, somos muy afortunados!. 


Respecto, a la visita a Mexico, Marzo - Abril del 2023 

Cuando se incluyó algunos días para Ciudad de México algunos devotos de Chile se comunicaron, posteriormente he platicado con Priya Sakhi dd, sucede que a un grupo de vaisnavas se les facilita llegar a Ciudad de México para poder recibir la iniciación en el Templo de Sus Señorías Radha Madana Gopal, pregunté a las autoridades la posibilidad de una ceremonia de fuego en el festival de Ramanavami, informan que si usted está de acuerdo el Templo no tiene inconveniente. 


Candidatos de Chile 

Primera iniciación: 

•Diana Sánchez

•Estefanía Colella

Segunda Iniciación:

•Sripati Das

•Mandara Sakha Das


Candidato para segunda iniciación de Ciudad de México

•Laghubhagavatamrta das

Las autoridades han conversado y depositan su confianza en prabhu porque ha permanecido fijo en sus servicios en el templo desde que tomó la primera iniciación, en el 2009. 


Respecto a la predica externa en Ciudad de México, estamos platicando con algunos devotos interesados para poder presentar la propuesta en días posteriores. 


Vyasa-puja 2022

México 

24 de Diciembre (Aparición de Lochana Das Ṭhākura) en India?

En México es el día 23

Falta un poco más de un mes, de igual manera nos gustaría externar nuestro deseo de participar en algún evento online programado alrededor de estas fechas por favor. 


Muchas gracias por su misericordiosa atención.


Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Asta Sakhi dd

Dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept my obeisances.


All glories to Srila Prabhupada!


Thank you very much for the inspiration in serving the great captain of this great ship called ISKCON.


We remember having read from you an inspiration from Prabodhananda Sarasvati with words of appreciation and love addressed to ISKCON, it led us to the inspiration to continue working in a movement that awakens the consciousness asleep by the spell of maya but perhaps administratively it is going slowly, to understand a little about his own struggle and we were motivated by the desire to be the neophyte who wants to advance in the transcendental process that Śrīla Prabhupāda describes in his books, through his guidance and the association of the Vaisnavas. Thank you very much for inspiring us every day, we are very lucky!


Regarding the visit to Mexico, March - April 2023

When a few days for Mexico City were included, some devotees from Chile communicated, later I have talked with Priya Sakhi dd, it happens that a group of Vaisnavas find it easier to reach Mexico City to receive initiation in the Temple of Their Lordships Radha Madana Gopal, I asked the authorities about the possibility of a fire ceremony on the Ramanavami festival, they inform that if you agree the Temple has no objection.


HpS - Thank you for your association. Thanks to the M. Ranjana Das et al.


Seems good to us.


Chilean Candidates

First initiation:

•Diana Sanchez

• Stephanie Colella


Second Initiation:

•Sripati Das

•Mandara Sakha Das


Candidate for second initiation from Mexico City

•Laghubhagavatamrta das


The authorities have spoken and place their trust in prabhu because he has remained fixed in his services in the temple since he took the first empowerment, in 2009.


ASA - Seems nice. but we need formal letters from ISKCON authorities.


Regarding the external preaching in Mexico City, we are talking with some interested devotees to be able to present the proposal in later days.


HpS - O.K. We can even work on it from Houston and Monterey when we are there.




Vyasa-puja 2022

Mexico

December 24 (Appearance of Lochana Das Ṭhākura) in India?


In Mexico it is the 23rd

HpS/ASA - We will base on India date. Guess Mexico is 10.30-hours earlier, so lot of 23rd December there will be 24th December in India.


There is a little more than a month to go, in the same way we would like to express our desire to participate in an online event scheduled around these dates please.


HpS/ASA - Yes, I guess we can do live programs in the Krsna Balarama temple in the morning and afternoon, and then online programs in the evening from home.

7AM Mexico should be 5.30PM in India.

Good plan?

Can make some recordings.


Thank you very much for your merciful attention.

Your eternal would-be servant

asta sakhi dd


ASA - Same from us, Tom Brown and Buck White!
