All Glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
All Glories to you Gurudev and please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet’s    ASA- HpS - AGTSP, P-nut butter feet.

This is my first English letter so if I have any mistakes please forgive me…..I know that it’s been a while since the last time I sent  you a letter Gurdev….I decide to returned to La Paz (Bolivia)….I enjoyed the time I spent in Buenos Aires but I think that be near my family and friends It’s going to be better  for me….I learned a lot of things from the devotees that I met….It was a pleasure for me to visit the temple there….Now here in La Paz I’ll continue to do Sankirtana and I want to do some service in the temple so please send me your blessings Gurudev.

           HpS - ASA -  Soooooo nice to hear from you.  Sooo nice!

I have some questions to you Gurudev:

1.       Here at home we have a Krsna-Balarama deities but They got broken so we don’t know what to do with Them…what we should do Gurudev?

            ASA - If you can fix them well then you can still worship Them.  Otherwise They can take rest under a tree in the forest.

2.       Which form of Lord Krsna we should worship?...I ask this because I met a lot of devotees and everyone feels a different attraction for Krsna…Some devotees for Radha-Krsna, another one for Jagannatha Baladev and Suvadra, and I feel a strong attraction for Krsna-Balarama.

               ASA - Srila Prabhupada and Gaura-Nitai and ... The Jagannatha or Radha Krsna are O.K.   Your feelings!

3.       Maharaja I have some doubts about the Japa….It’s the same to chant with a Tulasi’s Japa?....When we’re chanting Japa the schedule of the day it’s important??

             ASA - Yes......   Really the 16-rounds should be on a regular Mala like Prabhupada and our acharyas have used.

I hope your health it’s going well

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

All Glories to you Gurudev

Hare Krsna

            HpS - In the DTC's we put our health, location and work news.  It is so nice to hear from you.   Your English is fine.  Will you do more formal study?

All glories  to  Srila Prabhupada

             HpS - ASA -  AGTSP...  Paoho....   Thank you for the letter.     We are in Denver.   Tommorrow we go to Boise.   We are doing  lectures on Sankhya, Oriental Philosophy of Nature, at the Univesity, Light of the Bhagavata, Vrndavana-dhama for the Temple.   Everywhere such good response.  We are starting to put writing very much in the forefront. If we travel it is to stimulate our writing.  We get requests, pushes, to do this...

What kind of association  do you have in Panama?         Didn't the USA lease on the canal expire a few years ago?  How do they still have control?  Do they have control?

gracias sri sri gauranga nitay!

gracias srila prabhupada!!

gracias su santidad hanumat presaka swami maharaja!!!

gracias devotos y devotas del brahman supremo sri krisna!!!!

david (hno burro)

escribo para pedir perdon por las multiples ofensas que por locura cometi. primero porque me enoje con la energia externa de dios confundiendola con el, por lo mismo que tube malos pensamientos con su divina y santa persona maharaja, y con muchos devotos. segundo porque al hablarle me tome mucha confianza. tercero, yo hice que sri guru lea conversaciones privadas que tube con una devota del señor. cuarto, blasfeme en publico en facebook cuando puso una maravillosa dicipula suya con gran amor una foto suya conmigo etiquetado en su sagrado corazon. quinto, su santidad unas veces me hablo privadamente con mucho cariño y yo no conteste sus mensajes ni ovedeci sus muchos consejos para mi adelanto en conciencia de dios. sexto, porque desde el principio hasta el fin no hice mas que mentir y buscar prestigio y fama a costa de su bondad, sri guru...

siempre endeudado y con mucha verguenza por las innumerables negligencias cometidas, lo saludo de corazon y ruego perdon a todos. mis resverencias respetuosas a la autoridad que es iskcon, su divino ser, sus hermanos, a todos. a sus santos pies. jaya nityananda.

             ASA - TlgaSP.  Jaya!  Podemos entender como 78% de su carta.  Ooof Muy poetico pero muchas palabras intensos, entonces no podemos entender si esta blasfemiando HpSwami a veces o pidiendo desculpas.   Pero ambos son buenos.  Aparece Vd. como un loco amable, y eso es el prequisito entender Senor Nityananda.

Otro carta con reportaje de su Sankirtana!

All glories  to  Srila Prabhupada

                 HpS - ASA -  Jaya, ISKCON Founder-Acharya, Srila Prabhupada.  Letters are nice.  Srila Prabhupada wrote so many.     Nobel Laureatte in literature, Henry James, said that he thought that letters were the highest form of literature!           Yours is very nice.    Are there any nice places in Panama?  Where do you walk everyday eg. to the bus stand.....??

AGT Sri Guru Gouranga, whos mercy is impossible to describe.

AGTSrila Prabhupada, who saved my life from complete ignorance.

AGT you Maharaja, you are making this full-o-doubts mind become stronger.

Thank you from my sincere heart for sharing this archive (jayarama.us). I am not sure what will be done, even when my desire is to see you again soon. But always in the meantime I have found strong inspiration in many of the shared documents, spreadsheets and ppt slides.

My wish is to talk with you soon. I would like to share with you my open mind confidentialy.

Gouranga! Nityananda!

            HpS - ASA --- Jaya!      Oink!   Oink!!!!          We are like wandering souls who meet other wandering souls all by the arrangement of "Providence".              Send some poetry!

Hare Krishna Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances to your apple blossom feet.

            HpS - ASA -  Jaya!   AgtSP.  Please accept our obeisances at your temporary but actual Dhama vasi feet!

All glory to Srila Prabhupada.

Alright maharaja, sounds like a good deal; the best deal actually. I'll do 16-4 to July 4th, 2014 next year. (I certainly hope you dont mean Independance Day this year maharaj! I definitely don't think I'm ready yet...) When It becomes tempting to eat those 'vegeterian' fajita wraps with questionable egg content at the grocery store because I haven't eaten anything at all in day(s); I'll remember your words and my vow. As well as brahmacarya. Not sure if it will last too long though, cause in the age of Kali people make vows and break them soon afterward. I'll keep sending letters to update more often! (over 365 inches to crawl..)

           HpS - ASA - AGTSP.   Yesssssss....  We starten with little steps, Bobba.   Monkey and Piggy have a real tendency to Sherlock Holmes movies, so we are going to just see if they can keep there nose out of that stuff until JULY 4th 2013.       So, all we askin is that you be their (our) partner in austerities until then.  After that we can consider more vows.   Maybe to Janmastami!!!!!!!!      This is tough.   Facing little, practical obstacles and knocking them down by Balarama's grace and with a clear recollection of what is our ultimate goal.   I just hope to be an eternal asociate of Srila Prabhupada in his Sankirtana and not be a burden to him and learn from Jayananda, Hansadutta, B. S. Damodara Swami et al.....

I should have started my vow the moment I got your reply, but my mind is too much of a "We'll start Tommorow!" sort of convincing arguer. My mind + senses have held the reign in my body like republics + democrats!

Visiting Life in Sridham Mayapur was very nice those few months. It's the ideal vedic city in the works! (by some great mercy) We got an apartment house on the inside Grhastha-housing, everyday nice vegetables, ghee, raw milk to serve to our Deitys. Prabhupada Ghat at the Ganga was a 5 minute walk away. My little brother Ryan became enthralled in Service at the Radha-Madhav mandir with the Pujari's many times (he's actally the real ideal devotee, maharaja). He brought back 3 Radha-Krsna deitys, 2 ladoo-gopals, 2 more JBS sets, Panca-Tattva deitys, Another Goura-Nitai + Nrsimhadeva. I was/am a bit worried. I think we definitely don't fit the Standard for RK deity's, or all these forms of the lord at all. But my little brother + sister are so attached to them, dressing, some bathing, Arati, Puja + kirtan. So.. what to do about offenses? lol. The cows there are so intelligent, it's like they're spiritual. All the Dham-vasi's actually, -- yes, a lot of the Villagers are descendants of Lord Chaitanya's dear friend Chand-Kazi, so I personally saw no pig residents-- they were probably there somewhere though! I made many new devotee friends, I got to help distribute Prasadam to residents in Navadwhip, it was Koob-Sundar (very beautiful). As well, I was going to say hare krsna to you when you came to Mayapur, but you seemed really busy; so I didn't want to disturb!

               HpS -   AGTSP.   We saw you I think.  We very very impressed with your intensity.  You should have grabbed us and said, "Hare Krsna Majaraja!"

Actually right now on such sudden very-short-notice me, my brother + sister had to come back to Boise in the US. 20 hours of plane flights. Luckily we find theres a lot of devotee's in disguise when we travel. We had to leave a lot of books + deity's behind in Mayapur to rest. My JBS deity's are always showering mercy on us, even if I neglect them sometimes. Jagganath is often revealing he's always aware in his form to me + my brother Ryan with his mercy towards our seva. Yet as soon as someone asks whats the sikha on the back of our heads, we become chocked up with nervousness about what they think!

           HpS - "Oh, its very interesting.  We are just coming from India.  Our parents have been Yogis forever and we just get involved with them with all the rituals and things. They cut the hair like this like a girl in the West wears a wedding ring or something. It means like we are unmarried boys."

I think we'll be in Boise for a long time, still so much unfinished things in Mayapur with our cows, dogs + items.. my mother is in Europe right now as well. Now I'm battling with my sister over not allowing her to keep Eggs to fry in the house while I have the deity's here. Trying to keep cooking items pure and get some Kirtan going again. 

        HpS - Tell her that if she steals eggs from the hens, cannibals will come and eat her babies when she gets married!    Haw!   Ha!      Hur Ray!

your fallen servant,

Reilly M. Grindle

               HpS - Jaya.   So we <o   >>====>    See you in about two weeks!  3rd of July!
