All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I start already to work again, try to chant all my rounds and read a bit in the BG, befor i start working.

i have a question from BG: 18.66 : Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.

1.Abandon all varities of religion, how can this understand a person from a other religion? like cristian or musulman ...e.t.c

HpS - It is a very common doubt. I think Srila Prabhupada is saying abandon all customary social responsibilities and so called religious duties fo sense gratification or liberation.

2.In our case we are also following a religion, so is Krishna talking about that KC is not to compare with a religion?

HpS - Same answer as above.

01.03.22 is Shiva Ratri, what is the best that we can do at this special day for please the greatest devotee of Krishna.

ASA - Read SB Canto 4, Chapter 6. 🙂

Write here with any thoughts about your reading.



thank you

Hare Krishna Maharaja!

PAMHO. AGTSP.

I hope you are well and in good health, or as better as is possible. 

It's very good for my life in general to connect every day to your online programs, thank you very much dear and respected Maharaja and all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I have many things to tell You, but this letter is exclusively focused on the Nityananda Trayodasi, Iskcon Chile, 2022 Festival, and the tribute we'll make to Rodrigo, remembering 3 exact years since his departure to Vaikuntha.

These have been very intense days to be able to coordinate and manage everything related to this Monday's big event, management in Chile is very complex due to restrictions and capacity, etc. This last Friday I was almost 4 hrs. at the Iskcon Santiago Mandir, I was able to speak and have interesting executive production conversations with the main devotees matajis and prabhujis in charge of the temple and it has been very rewarding, devotees love Rodrigo very much and have shown real enthusiasm to support the tribute to him, so the preview atmosphere is very motivating.

Although, because the capacity it's restricted, we can have 70 people approx in outdoor patios and the inner room it's restricted to 25 people, but the whole event from the bhajans and the abhishek until the end will be done all outside in the front patio.

We'll be online via zoom with You, Abhirama Thakur Das and Jagad Guru Das from just before 4:30 p.m. Peru time (the class you will give will start at 4:30 p.m. Peru time).

This zoom meeting in which we'll all be connected will be broadcast simultaneously through the Facebook Fan Page Iskcon Chile and will also transmit "live" through my social networks and those of Dharma Communications.

During the tribute we'll launch the book "El Universo Mágico de Rodrigo", which is the literary tribute that we have prepare to Rodrigo and that was published in the fifth edition of Solaris magazine and that, later, we decided to release as an offprint.

This book is supported by Nios, Solaris and all Your disciples in Peru and Chile and this is only thanks to Your infinite mercy, Maharaja, thank you very much for everything, simply words are few enough to express what overflows from the heart.

And we have had the honor of having the collaboration of Mr. Raúl Zurita, one of the most important contemporary writers and poets in Chile and South America, writing words and a poem to Rodrigo. I attach images and links.

The event will start at 3:00 p.m. Peru time and Your class will start at 16:30 Peru time. We'll do an online broadcast via zoom and facebook.

So, I send You the program with the schedules in Peru time (in Chile it is 2 hours more):

(at the end of this message we include the zoom coordinates to online connection)

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

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Aware of your trip to India this coming October 1 of this year, we formed a delegation of 13 devotees to be able to accompany you to Calcutta, Manipur and Vrindavam, in order to be able to buy the tickets and be able to coincide with your itinerary, please we would like to know dates and time of stay in the different places you will visit in order to match our reservations with yours.

Thanking you in advance for your courtesy, I cordially say goodbye.

Atte. His humble and eternal servant at his lotus feet, birth after birth Jiyada Nrsmha dasa. 

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!! paoho. Not trying to be absurd, but we often consider our life breath by breath now. We are always trying to make the Calendar in the Kapi Dhvaja complete from a broad perspective and also in practical detail.

Our rough plan is to be in Spain from 15th July until October first.

The last week of October friends and family from South America may join us and pursue their own work in Spain. Then they would spend three weeks in India: Kolkata, Manipur, (Delhi) Braja.

That is the rough plan.

Of course, it depends on health. Global political and health situations etc.

We have tickets up to the 17th of April and then we hope to investigate the tickets to Madrid 15th July and those on to India starting as soon as possible.

Will we have any trouble as USA citizens traveling to Spain and then leaving for India?

Thank you.

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva! 🙏🏻

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet!

ASA - Apple feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

On the last Kapi Dhvaja you have mentioned: "May be nice if some local, Ashokavan devotees lead on more days while we are here".

Gurudeva, if Jagad Guru das agrees I can share Tuesdays with him.

So, he can also lead the kirtan from New Asoka Van those days. I will ask him.

Thank you very much for your attention! 🙏🏻

HARE KRISHNA!!!

ASA - All leaders should be regular Mangala arati participants, and if the bandwidth allows share there screens, no? Also, should learn the word by world meanings. Other wise it sounds funny sometimes!

Thank you everyone!!!
