Hare Krsna Gurudeva,

Please accept our humble obeisances

We hope and pray for Your wellness Gurudeva. Here my husband Sergio and I would like to thank you for many things but this time for giving us the approval for our civil wedding. We asked some astrologers about the date and hour, then we did the arrangements with the municipality and everything went good, the date was on January 30th at 1:30pm. So with the help of our parents and god-brothers ans sisters everything was ready for that day. Here we have many pictures. My amorous (loving) mom Karuna mayi and Bhibatsu Arjuna cooked an amazing prasadham, my dad Anandamaya das was in everything, this time giving us more than good advice, he made us cry with his beautiful words.

Our witnesses were Puspa Gopal prabhu and Caturatma Goura prabhu, Abhirrama prabhu and his wonderful wife Maria helped us a lot in everything, we had an special guest disciple of Srila Prabhupada, Arcita prabhu who took a lot of nice photos. Sergio s parents and siblings helped us too, especially his loving mom and younger brother!. Mother Palika did a delicious wedding cake, and like that I would like to thank every person, they were 45 who assisted, everybody seemed to be one family, everybody helped with somethinng. We are very thankful. Then with sadness in our hearts we said goodbye to our family and devotees. Now we are in Cusco again, staying at the house of Asthavarga prabhu and his wife just for some days.

Starting to chant rounds together everyday, a little bit more conscious. Receving the mercy of Goura Nitay in Cusco, we traslated a class of two of Your god-brothers in the temple, nice experience. Our desire is to have a fire ceremony wedding with Your presence. Before that, we will try to be a help this year so You Gurudeva can come to Cusco, otherwise we will try to travel to the place you go, here in Peru. We hope You like the photos. Hare Krsna Gurudeva.. may Lord Nrsimhadeva protect You always. 

HpS - Very nice! AGTSP. We have been trying to get to this letter for weeks, but so much pressure from travel. Thank you very much. Now you are both a very old, experienced married couple and can start giving advice to others. We will see you in a few months.

Hare Krsna Maharaj,

AGTSP, PAMHO

You are our that soul, on whom we depend solely to understand and get inspired to how to serve Krsna esp the Caitanya Mahaprabhu way.

ASA - AGTSP!

SP says in K Book

"There is no need to be envious of the devotees who are engaged in preaching the glories of the Lord. We have practical experience of being advised by the so-called bābājīs in Vṛndāvana that there is no need to preach and that it is better to live in Vṛndāvana in a solitary place and chant the holy name. Such bābājīs do not know that if one is engaged in preaching, or in glorifying the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the good reputation of a preacher automatically follows one"

I think the act of babajis not recommending engagement in preaching is more due to laziness, rather than eagerness of getting reputation.

ASA - Must vary from one to the other, no? Also, that was maybe fifty years ago!

Even after reading paragraph, we dont understand how preaching and material reputation are connected. Can you clarify ?

ASA - We would think that they are kind of like water and oil, two independent things. I the Encyclopedia Britannica it says that Lord Caitanya was a religious epilectic. The real materialists cannot understand a preacher. Even if they see Christianity now they see its material, political, psychological manifestation, no? The good reputation of a preacher is appreciated by spiritual people!

O.K?

Looking for Maharaja's Acronym list for various SB Cantos

HpS - We did AGTSP and PAMHO because Hansadutta Maharaja put in a teletype machine in the Berkeley Temple and I was the guy who could run it and they charged like 5-cents a letter, so we invented PAMHO and AGTSP. We will probably get kicked in the backside one time for every time it has been used as minimizing Guru!

Then DAPUP. Devahuti, Akuti, Prasuti, Uttanapada, Priya-vrata. In the third canto M. Pariksit asks to hear about the devotional service of Svayambhuva Manu and his descendents and that is the guiding principle, didactic principle (?), for the organization of cantos 3-7 after that. You can find this in our Archives in our web-page, www.jayarama.us, as SB Summary. Look and you will find it.

Pada-padma - Cantos ONe and Two

DDPP - Canto Four - Daksa, Dhruva, Prithu, Praceta

PANAR-BHA-BHU - Canto Five - Priyavrata, Agnidhra, Nabhi, Rsabdeva, BHarati, Bhumandala

ADD-VRTA-DITI -Canto Six - Ajamila, Daughters of Daksa, VRTAsura, DITI kills Indra.

Canto Seven is just Krsna is equal to everyone ie. He favored demigods over Vrtasura, and VAD to Yuddhisthira Maharaja.

Canto Eight is the other 13 manus: Gajendra, Kurma (Churning the Ocean + Mohini Murti), Vamana and Matsya Avataras.

Canto Nine is OUR Manu - Vaivasvata Manu.

The Summary is in the powerpoint in the archives.

O.K.? More service.??

HpS - Hare Krsna!!! Now we are headed for Mayapura, Rtu-raja-krsna Das is helping as our servant. It is very informative for us to see how different devotees take up this role. We try to learn from them how to serve our spiritual master.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

   Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

   All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

   All glories to Guru parampara.

   Thank you so much Gurudev for showing my current fallen situation on URL : https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/9983/

   Please requesting you with folded hand, please mention all such none-sense things in me

so that i can work on those to serve you and others well before my time-off.

   Eagerly waiting for your all points which you found Specifically in me and which are not

favorable for Bhakti.

   Thank you Gurudev.

your fallen servant,

Girivara

HpS - AGTSP. paoho. Your determination in devotional service is very nice! Any faults you have are quite common for me and other devotees. The ones I mentioned were general problems that devoees at your level of experience often have. We try to be the GREATEST SERVANT if we can't be God and then we try to decide for ourselves what is service rather than taking instruction.

Thank you so much.

Please send news of the Pune Temple!!

Por favor acepte mi humildes y respetuosas reverencias

todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Hare Krsna Maharaja:

Le envio la carta de refugio formal de Piero Torchio, Él realizo los cursos correspondientes.

Él viaja constantemente del templo a su casa en otra ciudad, él no tiene su diploma del curso de bhaktas en santiago, por eso no va la foto.

Esperamos verlo pronto

su aspirante a sirviente

Jagannatha caran das

HpS - Hare Krsna. Super oir de Vd. Muchas gracias su servicio. Es essencial! Vamos a anotar Piero como aspirante. Pero no tenemos carta en nuestra cuenta de Yahoo. Puede anotar los detalles aqui: Nombre completo, fecha de nacimiento, direccion de intenet.
