I was without leaving home for more than a week on the orders of my guardian 😊. Very ugly things have always happened to us at the end of the year ...

Franco says that people are crazier than usual and it is better not to leave the house.

and I had no way to connect.

I don't know why he couldn't download his last two kapi Dvajas ... and just on Monday the 3rd I went back to work.

So I finally got a Wi-Fi connection and sent my report.

I was able to download their kapi !! And today I translated if last kapi January 1 ... We will read at home ..

I'm going to work late😄 but happy to know a little about you !!

Thank you for Your mercy! Please take care take care of yourself a lot .

Deseo que la presente Lo encuentre cada vez mejor de salud.

Por favor!! ! perdoneme por no enviar mi reporte a tiempo. Estuve sin salir de casa por mas de una semana por órdenes de mi guardián 😊 . Siempre nos ha pasado cosas muy feas en épocas de fin de año... Franco dice que la gente anda mas loca de lo normal y es mejor no salir de casa.

Querido Guru Maharaja:

Aquí me encuentro escribiendo la ofrenda por su Vyasa Puja.

Espero que Ud. se encuentre bien de salud

Quiero en primer lugar pedirle disculpas por no estar muy comunicado este año, sin embargo Ud. y Srila Prabhupada siempre están presentes en mi cada momento de mi vida, y hacen que el medio ambiente se vuelva más dichoso y pleno de dulzura espiritual.

Estos años a pesar de la pandemia, pude comenzar a realizar algunos servicios. Comencé a hacer traducciones al español de algunos libros de los acaryas vaisnavas. También hace algunos años comencé a dictar clases de música de India de forma metódica, especializándome en Armonio y Canto, y dictando algunos talleres sobre música de India. En unos meses posiblemente pueda tener un lugar para brindar las clases en forma presencial y quien sabe, quizás en un futuro poder tener una escuela, ya que estoy estudiando en la universidad para obtener en unos años la licenciatura en música.

Todo avance que yo pueda hacer, si es que hay alguno, es gracias a Ud. y a la misericordia y energía divina de Srila Prabhupada.

 "El maestro espiritual es muy querido, porque es experto en ayudar a las gopis, que en diferentes momentos hacen diferentes arreglos de buen gusto para la perfección de los Pasatiempos de Radha y Krsna dentro de las arboledas de Vrndavana. Ofrezco mis más humildes reverencias a los pies de loto de tal maestro espiritual".

Su erudición, estado de ánimo y absorción en el servicio trascendental me incentivan cada vez más en esforzarme por avanzar y seguir su ejemplo en el sendero del bhakti. Su humor es recordado por mí, transportándome al humor de Sri Vrindavan Dham y Sri Radha Krishna.

Srila Narottama das thakura dice: ''...Sri Guru es un océano de misericordia, el amigo de los caídos, y la vida y alma de todos...'' (Sri Guru Carana Padma)

Oro por mantenerme siempre bajo la sombra de sus pies de loto, anhelando servirlo más personalmente (a pesar de la distancia) y poder ser útil en su sankirtana.

Le comparto un mahamantra que grabé hace poquito y y como ofrenda a Ud. lo estoy estrenando para su Vyasa Puja.

Hare Krishna...Hare Rama...

All glories to Sri Sri Radha Krsna

All glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you

Please accept my obeisances

 On this very significant day I want to dedicate some words to you so that you know how important you are in my life and the meaning that your presence in this world has for me.

 Since I've known you, you have taught me a lot, thanks to that I grew as a person and as a devotee, now my heart is not as hard as it was before and I can better appreciate the service of others.

 Just by listening to you my mind is being purified, I know it because my thoughts have changed and every day when I wake up I think of you, "Gurudev, Gurudev, Gurudev",

 "I'm going to get up to chant my rounds early for my guru."

 Every time your Vyasa Puja arrives and I am going to write my offering, I feel a very strong emotion that leads me to tears, it is not sadness, of course not, but remembering everything you give me and knowing how lucky I am to have you makes me this day be unique. I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am.

 I can say that your presence illuminates the spiritual life of the people who are in contact with you because when I listen to classes from my spiritual brothers and sisters I can perceive all the realizations they have and how dedicated they are to the mission of Srila Prabhupada.

 The way you connect us with him and the Parampara is amazing, how you make us aware of all the effort that Prabhupada made to give us this treasure and aware of the path that this knowledge took from Krsna to us, how you make us appreciate the service of the previous acaryas, to see their arduous desire to glorify Krsna and to want to be in His presence.

I wish you a beautiful Vyasa puja and that you continue to enlighten more and more souls as you serve our beloved Radha and Krsna.

Your aspirant servant

Please accept my prostrated obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet. All Glories to Your Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedantha Swami Srila Prabhupada, all Glories to his representative, His Holiness Hannumat Presaka Swami.

Lovely Gurudeva: 

All glories to you on this most auspicious day of your appearance in this world. I can never be thankful enough for you, just I met you through Krishna’s mercy because you are a shelter among the kali age. I try my best to follow your instructions while doing anything in my day to day life. I try to take better care of anybody to I met and I pray: May perform any service I'll have to the best of my abilities remembering that you always teach us that a devotee is never negligent towards his duties and responsibilities. So that these are baby steps but I hope to live my life in way that ensures that I never forget or disregard any of your instructions. I try to read more and decode every line and every verse I read remembering you always emphasized on detailed study of Srila Prabhupada’s books. I am not reading as much as I want to, but hopefully with your mercy I’ll become better at reading someday. even though until today I'm just a fool, so

I will always be eternally indebted to you because without your blessings and guidance nothing would have been possible. Thanking you from the core of my heart, humbly seek your continued guidance and forgiveness. I know that I was never a good disciple and probably I failed you on your several expectations of me. Guru Maharaj you always showed us by example not to be lazy and be active, ¡how determined you are to show us by example, not to pamper the body!

Dear Gurudeva, you will always sit among us. 

And all glories to to you on this most auspicious day of your appearance in this world.

"The lotus feet of our spiritual master are the only way by which we can attain pure devotional service. I bow to his lotus feet with great awe and reverence. By his grace one can cross the ocean of material suffering and obtain the mercy of Krishna."

I wish you a very happy vyasa-puja and pray to Srimati Radharani for many happy returns of this auspicious day. I pray for keeping you at the centre of my life, each day I can feel how your causeless mercy flows unconditionally in the upkeep of my devotional service. And Just Ican say thanks, thanks a lot.

Due to bad association, the living entity desires material happiness, liberation or merging into the impersonal aspect of the Lord, or he engages in mystic yoga for material power. If such a person actually becomes intelligent, he takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness by engaging himself in intense devotional service to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.(CC Madhya 22.35)

Dear Guru Maharaja,

please accept my humble obeisances on your lotus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to write to you on the auspicious day of your appearance.

 In your enlightening association is hope for everyone and with all your travelling you bestow the ultimate benefit upon people in general.

Thank you for your austere and sacrificial life,

In Srimad Bhagavatam (8.7.44)

it is said that great personalities almost always accept voluntary suffering because of the suffering of people in general.

This is considered the highest method of worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is present in every one's heart.

Purport:

Here is an explanation of how those engaged in activities for the welfare of others are very quickly recognized by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord says in Bhagavad-gita ( 18.68-69 ) ya idam paramam guhyam mad-bhaktesv abhidhasyati, na ca tasman manusyesu kascin me priya-krttamah, "One who preaches the message of Bhagavad-gita to My devotees is most dear to Me..."

 There are different kinds of welfare activities in this material world, but the supreme welfare activity is the spreading of Krishna consciousness.

...if one tries to spread Krishna consciousness all over the world,

he should be understood to be performing the best welfare activity.

The Lord is automatically very pleased with him.

If the Lord is pleased with him, what is left for him to achieve?

  GURUDEV!

kṛpā-bindu diyā, koro' ei dāse,

tṛṇāpekhā ati hīna

sakala sahane, bala diyā koro',

 Gurudeva, O spiritual master!

Give to this servant just one drop of mercy. 

I am lower than a blade of grass. Give me all help. 

Give me strength. 

Let me be as you are, without desires or aspirations.

Hare Krishna...Hare Rama...

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva

PAMHO

ALGTSP

I am obliged to write this letter to ask for respect and equality towards all the devotees since I have seen that when a professional guest or with good economy status comes, they treat him better than the devotee who has faithfully doing service in the temple.

It seems unfair to me that when a person has some service and is in charged, he has favoritism only with his friends.

there are devotees who because they are professionals and have studied at the best universities treat other devotees badly and that seems very bad to me. We have to learn to treat devotees well to ask with love and humility for that person to do the service.

I could make a list of the mistreatments that prabhu Abhirama das thakur had towards me and towards my father but I am not going to do it, I believe that he is aware of his Anarthas and he knows that he has a strong character and likes to command and I just hope it gets better for its own sake.

I just wrote to you recently about a gossip that he told my brother, well I called to prabhu Abhirama and i asked him if you were asking to speak with me to clarify things and he said that you did not say anything but it would be good if i clarify and I did it. I do not understand why he has to be saying one thing and then change the story but it seems wrong to me that he says something and not face the situations with the true story.

When I called him, he told me that we do not have any relationship but in reality we do because we are spiritual brothers.

For my part I will continue with my service but I had to write this to you because until now I have not had the opportunity to speak with you or to have your association even though we are a few kilometers away and I could not get close either since Prabhu Abhirama is in charge.

I have grown up in Iskcon, I have seen so many things and if I am still here it is because of Srila Prabhupada and you and because I know this is the path.

Vanca kalpa.

Jay Gauranga !!!
