Our Travels in 2014

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Beloved Guru Maharaj

I hope excuse my late report about  my travel for India. Acctually, is so late that i went to Chile and come back now.

I don't want take your valuable time guru maharaj.

In simple words my itinerary was like following:

00) Buenos Aires (January First Days) personally with you in the your Vyasa Puja. Very Happy was start the year like this.  Programs in CHILE

01) Hyderabad (Jan-March): First days, very concern about the programs not finished in Chile. 2 month Course about Promotion of Micro Enterprises (NIMSME India). More than 150 people from 42 different countries. Great experience. How India is superpass the poverty problem, and i visited a lot of micro enterprises in the last part of the course.

It was a good opportunity to Share the vaisnavism values with Muslims (a lot of), first time in my life. I changed completely my opinion about them. They're Very friendly. Still, Afghan, Niger, Nigeria are more extreme in their ideas,  a lot of fear of God. We can to know how is he because is sooo great. But, in general opened and interested about that idea of only one supreme God according the Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, etc.

Invite to the temple to more enthusiastic twice. First Time, christian Brazilian lady, Buddhist Myanmar (my roomate), a polland and a nepali ... all together see the deities and take prasadam with their hands. Exotic experience. Second time: Budhist myanmar and two ladies from Mauritios Islands. With them visti the Govinda's Restaurant. I that moment a realize also that prasadam in Restaurant in this cities is very good preaching.

02) Chile (March-April) . Big FIRE disaster in Valparaiso. Authorities said that the 10% of the city was loose. Wonderfull program of FOOD FOR LIFE against the time. We distributed 600 plates of kitri... and A.Vardhana made 10.000 cookies! It was impossible distribute all cookies.  Students of Alternatives Therapies went with us in a bus gotten by Vrinda Mission devotees. David Abrigo, my classmate and friend from the university times, who attend some of your conferences, went also and helped the devotees in prasadam distribution.

03) Fly Stops (Last days April) : Come back to India AGAIN... the stops were London and Madrid, this time not alone, rather Carolina came as well. We discovering the important work of the devotees there. Taking utsaha from them. We had interviews with Dandava prabhu and  Jara Mara In Madrid. Too much learning of his experience in Madrid. Very useful for us in Chile .We spend one night with Bhadra Vardhana and Sananda devi dasi.

In London with Gandaki prabhu (Uruguayan devotee) and his wife were our hosts.

Harinama in both places. Harinama is still stronger there. In London sometimes THEY went twice in a day in the supossed most important street in the world, New Oxford Street.

04) Mumbai (May)

The Yoga Institute of Santa Cruz, established in 1918 was our home in the entire month. Curiously, Our best (and very strict) two teacher appreciate a lot ISKCON, even one of them have the membership card. Very impersonal philosophy behind everything so preach to classmate was very funny because all people is very atractive to Krsna naturally there and accept the Sri Caitanya philosphy.

I distributed some 3-4 Bhagavad Gita. I invite all my western friends, students in the Institute also, to the restaurant buffet, and they were very happy. The Irani guy bought the B.G and Islam and The Vedas, a very christian girl from US, after to see the deities, decided get the BG also, and a very special indian young (19 years) bought me other, and other young lady get it also.

Visiting every sunday and Nrisimha Caturdasi and other days the ISKCON Temples. We are very impressed with the dedication of Radhanath Swami, Giriraj Swami, Sridhar Swami and others there. They have an hospital in Mira Road where every doctor and employee is devotee, actually, our dermatorlogist there is very enthusiastic. They have a big auditorium in Juhu, and media center in Chowpaty. It was a very good experience, taking pictures and ideas all the time. Three hours from Mumbai we visited for special program the Govardhana Eco Village, an interested program developed by ISKCON also. 

05) Vrindavan (Now!). I just arrive a few hours and after to read your Kapi Dhvaja i felt very bad for not write to you, because I promise to you, so ... i should to do it. Now, if is possible to you, i feel that I need some practical advises to live the next days here. I like so much, despite the HOT, but i feel like a fool trying understand them.

In this Dropbox link you can see pictures with the respective numbers.

Excuse for the extension again. Same problem with my reports for you. The ayurvedic doctor in Mumbai said me again that i have serious problems with the times and with to execute ideas for my AIR - FIRE convination.
 

Thank you a lot Guru Maharaj. You are so tolerant with me always... I can't understand it. I want to be someone useful for you soon.
 

Hare Krsna.--

Hare Krsna Guru-Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances!

AGTSP! Agt Guru and Gauranga!

Vivan Radha and Krsna!!!

I am Bhakta Pablo of the Parikrama, from Spain.

I hope your health is very good, not having any pain and that Your devotional life is splendid.

I heard yesterday the introduction of Caitanya caritamrta, recorded in Startmeeting, and now the second. Thank you so much for them, especially being in Spanish. They are nectar.

I'm always waiting for these classes, as with Joe Japa.

Singing my rounds and recovering. I chant 27 rounds per day. The four principles.

Personally I have to admit that I'm not doing many austerities these days, I'm pretty relaxed, maybe too much. I take note of the situation...ummm, I'm a little rascal, sorry. I will change.

I look for " bibhats " “ bibhatsam “on " mixtures rasas " in Nod and found the Cap 49 and 50. I read , and is very interesting . Reminds me preface Upadesamrta . I think I'll never understand these things.

Did you comment on something specifically ????

I personally feel that is very complex . And simple at the same time when one read the examples. I guess only the sincerity of heart can overcome all this complexity .

Many times I feel like I was going through an energetic Universe, where massive total power external to me, protecting the energetic Nucleo ,  have taken human physical , personal, to unite the complexities of infinite power , and the movements of their onmipresentes and onmipotentes influences, representing them in the grace of a play . And precise movements, at the right time , acts as a very complex key, to open the way to the Core , the Home of Krsna.

Thank you so much for everything, wholeheartedly Guru- Maharaja, Hanumatpresaka Swami.

When I sing rounds and You appears in my poor meditation fills me with joy. Nrisimhadeva too. I think I can only be around Goura - Nitai thank to you, all , Prabhupada of course!!

At his feet Gurudeva !

Your silly servant, Bhakta Paul

        HpS - ASA - Jaya. AGTSP paoho....  Why not start a Parikrama in Spain??? Lokanatha Swami did it all over the world. He started it in Berkeley. I was with it from the start. You could go regulularly to all the Holy Places in Spain and do Kirtan with devotees in route. Hmmmm, if Krsna wants He will give inspiration.

We stopped the Spanish readings because we didn't have a Spanish CC! We need a full-set of Spanish CC.

Hare Krsna! AgtSP! Agt Guru y Gauranga! Vivan Radha y Krsna! I wish You are well in all aspects Gurudeva. About my debt, in true I dont know exactly becouse all my time in India but two days I chanted with fingers or mentally and I dont remember the numbers. Some days a lot, some days not many I think. Here in Spain, with my illness, tireness and principally my tamas little,¿ and little conventration. I dont have any excuse Maharaja, I know, I am sorry. I think 15 days is number very true. I will go to take note and do a fix number every day since finish. Sorry Gurudeva. What do you think about?. Any idea Maharaja?? Punishment? Is sooooo see yours answers! I have one movil for Japa Joe, bat internet yet. But i can see and hear the noi classes...pure néctar!!! At your feet! B. Pablo. HARE KRSNA!!!!

         HpS - ASA --- Is good to keep clear track of our debt and then recover the loss, no? Is a formallity but not without meaning. By this we show Krsna we love Him. 15-days seems great. Concentrate. Make the Japa a practical tool to change your life forever and to change the world.

Sunday School Curriculum

All glories toSrila Prabhupada. Dear Gurudev, please accept our respectful obeisances. After your last visit to Mexico, there was a need to improve the Sunday program ASA Kids México. For that reason we were thinking that with the help of the temple authorities, we can acquire   the “Hare Krishna Sunday School Program”, which was created by Mother Tapasvini dasi and Sangita devi dasi. The program is divided amongst 3 age groups: Madhava (6-8) years old,  Damodar (9-11) years old and Madan Mohan (12 – 14 years old). Here is the link if you want to check it out. http://harekrishnasundayschool.com/  We trust this program will help us give better tools for the good Krishna Consciousness development of our children community. As part of this project we will translate the program so future generations can have the benefit it offers. We would like to know your opinion about this plan, so we can continue working under your divine guidance. Thank you very much for you precious time, we pray so we can have your blessings so we can continue serving Srila Prabhupada through our children community. Your servants, Gopi Radha and Anuradha DD. ASA Kids México

HpS - AGTSP!  paoho -- As I know the program it is very good and has been used successfully in many Temples. Maybe somebody else on the Blog can make a comment. It may already be translated! Such nice work you are doing. Maybe Krsna will be a student in your class in your next life.

TPP-CB part II.

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thanks for your answer. I see. Yes, You are right, $10 + postage/each is too much.

Maybe it would be better to scan the pages and upload it to jayarama.us or send it via e-mail.

It's cost-effective and fast.

What do you think about it?

Otherwise if you need to type your hand written stuffs in the future (and i can read it :) just let me know  i'm happy to assist you.

Maharaja, i would like to start my BhVai study. Will be a beginner group nowadays what i can join?

Thank you very much.

All the best.

Your servant, Sri Radhe dd

HpS - AGTSP - $10 is not too much. We are finally ready to mail some Tpp-cbs, and one will go to  38 Clarendon Road.

Piggy's plan has been to make photo copys of 1-5 and then send out an original copy as a sample to interested people like your good self. Then after Number Five we will use 8-1/2 x 11 paper and make quality photocopies.

Do you have the Bh. Sastri Diploma???
