Hare Krsna, querido Gurumaharaja.

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

¡Todas las glorias a Sri krishna Janmastami! 

Gurumaharaja para este lado del mundo Janmastami es el día lunes, normalmente vemos la lista de líderes de kirtana de FEP así que nos preguntamos si este lunes cantará Parama Karuna prabhu?

Talves podríamos tener oportunidad por favor de participar de un corto Krsna katha bilingüe a las 7:00 pm hora Nashville en ASA? 

Usted mencionó un drama, quizás podemos invitar a Divya Sri mataji y otros para interactuar con una lectura emocionante. 

Disculpe nuestras demandas por favor, si es demasiado podemos comprender.  

Aprovecho en reportarle que ya estoy en comunicación con Yudhistira prabhu, Rohini y Ananga Manjari, las matajis le envían un especial agradecimiento y reverencias. 

Por ahora estamos esperando la confirmación de fecha para Daru Krsna prabhu quien amablemente nos está atendiendo, ASA Carnaval le envío una carta al respecto.  

Le comparto algunas fotos de teatro de Janmastami de años pasados en México, estuvo emocionante el drama, 20 actores en un pequeño escenario : )

Vuestra eterna aspirantes a sirviente

Hare Krsna, dear Gurumaharaja.

Please accept our respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to Sri Krishna Janmastami!

Gurumaharaja for this side of the world Janmastami is on Monday, we usually see the list of FEP Kirtana leaders so we wonder if this Monday will sing Parama Karuna Prabhu?

ASA/TB-BW - We do not know. It is O.K. with us if he leads a Gaura Arati.

Maybe we could please have a chance to participate in a short bilingual Krsna Katha at 7:00pm Nashville time at ASA?

HpS - Certainly. Can be any length. We will present in the local program from 8.30-9.00PM. That will be English (Hindi). That program is from 8-12PM and we will send the YouTube link. We will go to NgD Ashrama and do Abhiseka from 11.15 - 11.45PM

You mentioned a drama, maybe we can invite Divya Sri Mataji and others to interact with an exciting reading?

HpS - Same as above! 🙂

Excuse our demands please, if it is too much we can understand.

HpS/ASA - No, it is very nice. Let us just communicate here to cocordinate.

I take this opportunity to inform you that I am already in communication with Yudhisthira Prabhu, Rohini and Ananga Manjari, the Matajis send you a special thanks and obeisances.

ASA/HpS - Which Yudhisthira? For what marvelous purpose are you in communication them?

Aahh! I just read the ASA Carnaval post. These are for the DTC-UT interviews.

For now we are waiting for the confirmation of the date for Daru Krsna Prabhu who is kindly attending us, ASA Carnaval sent him a letter about it.

ASA - We also do not understand this project with Daru-krsna Das... ?? ... About visiting New Ashokavan in Sta. Aleulalia, Peru???? 🙂

Also... after reading the ASA Carnaval post, this is clear.

I share some theater photos of Janmastami from years past in Mexico, the drama was exciting, 20 actors on a small stage :)

ASA - Is Dhusashana pulling Draupadi by the hair!! 😮

Your eternal would-be servant

Hare Krishna querido Gurudeva!

Por favor acepte mis mas humildes reverencias!

todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

lamentablemente no regresare a Perú en la misma fecha que usted, yo regreso antes, de saber que podía regresar con usted me hubiera quedado mas tiempo🙄.

El sábado 28 de agosto voy para Atlanta.

Hasta mañana querido Gurudeva.

Muchas gracias por su atención.

All glorias to you guru deva.

We have been hearing various things about your visit to Peru. We have also heard that during your stay in Peru you would not see or approach devotees who have not been vaccinated. Is that true? 

thank you for clarifying this issue.

-0-0-0-

AgtSP! Paoho. Thank you for the enquirey.

Our attitude is that the vaccine was proper for us and probably for a lot of people, but maybe in other countries it is different.

Our attitude is pandemics, serial killers, etc. are naturally controlled if we live as Krsna apparently desired, in the village.

So, anyone is welcome to come and work in our village who is sure they are not carrying a pandemic if they have been at risk of acquiring it.

O.K.?

Come and stay in the garden house for a proper quarantine time and then come into close contact with the other people living and working in the village?

ASA - Uncle Gismo, Buck White.

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

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

Sarvabhauma Prabhus phone is broke so he wanted me to relay the following message to you: 

In Houston we are re-starting from the beginning of SB 1.1.1 to facilitate a Krishna House approach for predominantly newer devotees. Any aspect of the first Canto might be a good topic for this Friday. Could be:

1) an intro to the Bhagavatam

2) discussion of SB 1.1.1 

3) 1.1.2

3) the topic of rasas in SB 1.1.3

Your servant,

Sri Rupa dd

AgtSP! Thank you, Matajij. Can you please write here to this Blog? We have limited access to telephone text messages.

Thank you!

It is a great honor to be part of the SWF programs.

We will be in Houston for about 10-days after Radhastami.

Let us do "SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM - The Big Picture. Introduction to the greatest world classic."

O.K.
