Hare Krishna Maharaja AGTSP.

Dear Maharaja, we want to invite you to a meeting of an Education Project, which we are implementing Online, from primary, secondary and University education, for general, for devotees and non-devotees, it is possible that in our next meeting on March 16 to At 11 am in Argentina you can be with us and be able to explain what we are doing together with devotees from different countries, such as Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Mexico. Yadunanda Swami Maharaja a month ago was interested in the project and encourages us to continue with it.

At your Service Dhenupal das and Krihsna Priya dd.

the members of the same Project: Srivas Thakur dasa, Lakmipati dasa, Satyaki dasa, Amrita Ganga dd, Arjuna Shaka dasa, Gokulananda das and us.

HpS - ASA -- Thank you. I think we can participate. We need timings etc. Cultural conquest!!

Hare Krishna, dear gurudeva. Pamho, AGTSP!

I was about to tell you some time ago what is my idea about associating with you personally and in general as your disciples.

I believe that today more than ever we have to meditate on the association of vani and vapuh. I believe that you have given us a lot of mercy in vapuh association by coming to Peru so many times and I believe that it is time that we mature and strengthen our vapuh association more.

You have taught us many things and I think it is time for us to stand up for ourselves and apply everything we learned from you to our personal life and sankirtan.

I am of the opinion that we should not fall into a dependent mentality. Expecting you to do most of the work. I am ashamed just to think that we are even waiting for funding to carry out projects. We don't even support you enough for your airfare. We serve it in a mediocre and easy way.

HpS - You, devotees in Peru, do a lot for our ASA Sankirtan. We feel that we are in your debt. Of course, we are all little engines running on Srila Prabhupada's electicity.

I believe that we would only have to ask for your advice and take charge of the projects, providing the material and human resources.

You have already done your part in a wonderful way. We still don't do enough. I do not want to think that when you return to God we do not know what to do and we remain lamenting with our arms crossed.

I am of the opinion that we continue to associate in a virtual way like these last months and you go to Vrndaban when things get better and advise us from there.

It is very risky to come here. Some devotees were infested with covid and many will not even be vaccinated anytime soon. Many take public transportation and live in risky areas, etc. Being in physical association, I do not think it is highly recommended, no matter how many measures are taken. It's hard enough thinking about you going away in 2024, I don't want to imagine it happening sooner because of our negligence and dependent mentality.

Devotees will want to see you and it come from various places. They will want to be with you to do the programs, etc. I don't think it is a good idea for the health of you and the devotees as well.

We are very attached to your body. I think it will be a great challenge for us to give up your physical presence and develop more adherence to your instructions. From wherever you are, you can guide us to built a community as you suggest or other projects. There are many devotees entrepreneurs here who can do it. Come together according to various common interests and resources at various sites.

Your projects for a movie and so on can be done very well virtually. On our part we have to commit ourselves more in his Sankirtan.

In any case, if you decide to come, you have to stay in a place away from the city and its pollution and not in a crowded place. The Chosica asrama, for example, where access can be restricted. Even that would be troublesome. You can also leave a little more time and come in September, etc.

I don't think at all that you going to Vrndaban is a comfortable attitude. We know that you will do your Sankirtan to the end, but please let us help you further and take care of the details.

We have you on hand every day. I believe that we must mature as disciples and become more attached to your instructions.

I also promise to give many suggestions on the blog. I also have to meditate on your suggestion of Don Quixote and Vyasadeva and give my perspective. It will be at another time.

I want to take more advantage of the wonderful association you gives us and commit myself more, so that when it is your turn to leave your Sankirtan remains strong. The devotees will say: Oh! That is Hanumatpresaka Swami's disciple, what a beautiful service he does to his guru and Srila Prabhupada! And you will be proud of us wherever Krishna sends you.

Your servant,

Laksmana-agraja das

HpS - ASA -- Thank you for your advice. The US Government Tourism website gives similar advice, but does not say not to go. If we go to Peru, it would be to go to one rural place where we can develop a New Ashokavan. Yes, we would have to have proper quarantine arrangements for visitors.

We need to have slower global life.

We will get our final vaccination on Monday.

I think it is good to try to visit, but again, with the perspective of making a change to the basic community idea of life in Peru, Tennessee, India.

Okay, Maharaja. Glad you can speak to the San Diego congregation via Zoom.

HpS - Hare Krsna. Was very nice to receive your Whatsapp words, but unless we deal with stuff here we have no chance of handling our mail. Thank you.

Do you have a particular topic you’d like to discuss? Please let me know ASAP so we can announce.

March 14 7.00 to 8.00pm PST

ISKCON SAN DIEGO SUNDAY FEAST TALK VIA ZOOM

HpS -ASA -- "Topic: Interfaith Dialog, Krist and Krsna. Bridging the resources"?

Will most of the audience be from Indian background, non-Christian?

Your servant,

Balarama Dasa

:>>HpS -ASA -- "Topic: Interfaith Dialog, Krist and Krsna. Bridging the Resources"?

Fine. Sounds good.

The crowd will be folks who are familiar with Krishna consciousness. Devotees mostly.

It will be a mixed crowd, Indians not coming from Christian backgrounds and westerners some coming from Christian backgrounds and some not.

Your Servant,

Balarama Dasa

HpS - O.K. Sorry a little slow to answer. Always Whatsapp us to highlight any letters here in the Blog.

We have already been thinking about the class.

Did you send the link yet? Announcement here? I can look for it in the Calendar category if you did. Our focus is to really improve the Sankirtan of Srila Prabhupadas followers. We hope that we do that.

Please accept my respectful obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I need to know your opinion regarding my stay in the temple.

I want to travel to Peru, apparently I will have to wait until I can get the vaccine, I have heard that in June everyone will be vaccinated in Chile.

I wanted to ask you if I can travel to be with my family this time, or if I better stay serving in the temple as I have been doing.

At home it is difficult to lead a spiritual life, in the temple we are protected, getting up early and singing good rounds is easier.

In the temple I feel guilty when I make music, write, sing, etc. I am uncomfortable thinking that I may upset others or that I am not doing practical temple service, instead doing selfish practice.

On the other hand, at home I have the freedom to advance in these aspects, but we know that I become an easy prey for Maya.

I am concerned about not being able to serve you in these areas, I am not very expert yet and I think that I should have more experience, tools and artistic material.

I would love to advance the book that connects Don Quixote and the Vedas, maybe record a film or documentary with my father and work on the first musical album. There is so much that can be done, but I am willing to put it off if you want me to remain here in the temple until it is time to travel.

Thank you very much Gurudeva

HpS - ASA -- It sounds like both situations are needed. You just have to balance them at this stage. Later you will see how they are related to each other and it will be natural to use them both. Talk with Temple authorities and work out some practical schedule of visiting your family for working with them. That would be our suggestion.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Necesito saber su opinión respecto a mi estadía en el templo.

Quiero viajar a Perú, al parecer tendré que esperar hasta que pueda ponerme la vacuna, he escuchado que en junio ya todos estarán vacunados en Chile.

Quería preguntarle si es que puedo viajar a estar con mi familia este tiempo, o si mejor me quedo sirviendo en el templo cómo lo he estado haciendo.

En casa es difícil llevar vida espiritual, en el templo estamos protegidos, levantarse temprano y cantar buenas rondas se da con mayor facilidad.

En el templo me siento culpable cuando hago música, escribo, canto, etc. Me incómodo al pensar que puedo molestar a los demás o que no estoy haciendo servicio práctico para el templo, en vez de ello hago una práctica egoísta.

En cambio en casa tengo la libertad de poder avanzar en estos aspectos, pero sabemos que me vuelvo presa fácil de maya.

Me preocupa no estar apto para servirle en estas áreas, no soy muy experto todavía y pienso que debo tener mayor experiencia, herramientas y material artístico.

Me encantaría avanzar en el libro que conecte el Quijote y los vedas, tal vez grabar una película o documental junto a mi padre y trabajar en el primer disco musical. Hay tanto que se puede hacer, pero estoy dispuesto a postergarlo si usted quiere que siga aquí en el templo hasta el momento de viajar.

Muchas gracias Gurudeva

[March 1, 2021] Panca-tattva: PAMHO, AGTSP HARE KRISHNA GURUDEV; they have connected us internet in the asram. I hope it will be helpful to assist you.🙂

Regarding what we have been talking about about the visa.

Yes, I have a Bachelor's degree. 🙂

Yes I have father and mother two Brothers and one sisters..

My mother and father live together in Buenos Aires both are retired but still are working. Mother is bilingual secretary in a private School and father work with my brother in odontology dentures..

My elder brother has registered me as a worker with tax contributions with the country. I could get a work certificate for a few years possibly to present if necessary.

Surely we are not going to get the visa for tomorrow but if we start the process we may get it for when you return from your next trip to Peru. And possibly we can meet in Peru and work on the subject.

your servant Ptd🐵

HpS - ASA - Yes, we dream sometime of a B'catri like you here and the things that we could do. It is a fact that I should not drive anymore, but also a good strategy seems to be to get the second Karuna-virus shot on March 15th and then see if we can go to Peru by Rama-navami, 21st April.. Actually it would be good to get there by first week in April so that we can be in quarantine for two weeks.

It would be good to get a one year visa as a teacher, and start a rural project, New Asoka Van, where everyone could visit (after two weeks in the garden house just outside the village gate). Maybe in Vallejo Sagrado???

Then maybe three months back in the USA. Three months in Spain, and then New Asokavan in Radha kunda and then. . .  Hare Krsna.

Everyone welcome to travel with us.
