Querido gurudev!

Este año fue muy bueno para quedarse en el asram y hacer servicio..

# 16 rondas regular

# 4p bajo control

(tengo dificultades con la pizza ,el queso, en nuestra mente todavia hay mucho deseo sexual)

# Mangala arati regular 80 %..(.muchas veces no deso ir por que estoy yo solo con una matayi) eso me des entusiasma.

#Cumplimos con el servicio de reorganizar y orientar el proyecto de Nueva Govardhana.(Vision,misión,plan estrategico,etc).

# Presenté una serie de charlas online para brahmacaris por 3 meses.

# Estudiamos.el Srimad Bhagavatam con compañeros online y presencial en la finca (canto 1,3,4,6).

# Estoy haciendo bhakti vaibhava con Prabhu Devakinanda das HPS y Mitravinda dd su esposa.

# Maratón de distribución de libros 2020...(101 pequeños, 363 grandes y 50 BG).

Este año comencé a hacer sankirtana en la playa y salen muchos libros mas que en la ciudad...siempre salen primero los BG de mis manos. Siento que Krishna esta feliz y se relaciona conmigo atravez del sankirtana.

Con ganas de hacer Sankirtana viajero!!!!

Todas las Glorias a HPS y SP que hacen que este pobre inutil pueda tocar el sol!!!

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!! Gracias sus noticias. Todo su reportaje superior pero...

pero

PERO

now you should start writing some things? Articles, poetry, edited into books. Movies. More permanent documents.

Of course, this pandemic may mutate and in the end all modern civilization be broken, so the ultimate service is to develop Bhakti yoga in all circumstances.

For that we see not just the externally measurable results of Vaidhi bhakti, but coming to Raganuga Bhakti and Bhava Bhakti and fully awake in Prema Bhakti.

How is that developing: Adau sraddha...?

It is good to write here, but of course, you (b'cari, not ladies 😎) can put in confidential content and we won't publish it.

We have been trying to investigate your coming to M'boro as a b'cari and Sankirtan, devotee. NgD et al are enthusiastic.

We caught up with Sesa Das and discusses NIOS strategy and the visas, and he gave some options, but really it is hard if you cannot join the e-mail cycle and we make phone calls, which is hampered by the remoteness of New Govardhana yatra.

Hare Krsna!

Guess it would need a conference call with Nitai-gaurasundara Das.

Thank you.

Waiting for more of your mercy.

Respects to all! Even the lone Pujari.

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

PAOHO AGTSP

This is your servant Gandharva das. Our senior god sister, Jambavati devi dasi, has some trouble in sending you her annual report, so she wrote us to help her (Google's translation).

NitayGouraPremanande !!! dear and always remembered Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances !!

ALL THE GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA

Sorry for not being able to write to you earlier, my health was so complicated and, above all, someone stole my cell phone, somebody gave me a cell phone that was failing a lot .....

all this time I remembered the first years that I knew Krishna Consciousness, in that

then it was a privilege to see you. Even once a year ... I write youa letter and, waiting with great emotion to receive yourletter, everything was by conventional mail, at that time

there was no Internet, but every minute of my life I kept remembering it ...

I am not surprised about my Health, I met evicted Krishna Consciousness, and from time to time my body collapse to the point of death, I remember in Mexico a devout expert in Reiki healing was pale when checking me and told me: Jambavati has almost no vital signs! Another time m. Catamay asked the temple to pray for me, because both she and her husband who are doctors did not they gave me a long time to live, ... on another occasion I was doing service for Lord Jagannath, and in a Mangal Aratik I could not get up. I was suffocating I could not breathe, I couldn't move, my eyes were red and my eyelids purple ... the president of the temple, he was upset with me, he told me that I should not do sick service .... Krishna is so naughty, then I feel better and continue with the services ... nobody seeing me they believe I'm bad, hahaha .... a devout doctor told me but, you look very good, ... again I don't You think ... hehehe, ... I once heard a class that said (sorry if it is not well written) “Mare Krishna rake ke rake krishna mare ke ”if Krishna says that it is time for you to leave the body, Who can save you? And if Krishna wants to give you protection, who can harm you? Therefore I do not leave the Sankirtan, always Praying to Sena Pati Bhakta not to leave me without his books in my hands, in case the time comes I have a Prabhupada book with me ..... currently in the Collapse of the pandemic I ran out of money and, I went looking for a refuge with my old man Father, Krishna put in my way kind people are Christian preachers but, I They helped a lot, I spent another season at my family's house, working hard to earn myself the right of stay, the good thing was that my father was safe and fed in the middle of the pandemic, also with this situation it has been achieved that my brothers show more sensitive to my father's situation, (thanks pandemic), ....

Finally dear Gurudev, in Separation from you. There has not been a day that has not stopped the distribution of books, it will not be the Marathon distributions of yesteryear, but, even if it's a few minutes of preaching, chatting with people on my way, if they are interested and don't have the laxmi to take the book, I gave them an informative Hare Krishna magazine with the direction of the Center preaching, just before the pandemic began m. medini gave me about 200 magazines and now I hardly have any left ... and my books are also running out, due to their infinite mercy dear Gurudev, my Sadhana I take like this, 8 rounds early, 4 at noon and 4 at night and the 4 regulative principles ...... within the circumstances I worked almost 12 hours daily just to earn a living and have a roof where to hold my father ... that's why my body collapsed was too much effort, thanks to Krishna now I just moved to another

place and, I can work fewer hours ..... all this time I have not felt alone, a Sankirtanero by the grace of Prabhupada is always with people talking about Krishna, and experiences so much Nectar, lately I coincide with a Venezuelan devotee who goes from passenger when I am doing Sankirtan on the buses he is a nurse, and he met Conscience of Krishna 8 years ago in Caracas his name is b. Edgar meets s.s.GuruPrasad Swami and s.s. Bhakti Sundar swami with whom he maintains a lot of communication seems to be aspiring to be disciple of Maharaja because he is very interested in Maharaja coming to Peru .... And, many

more nectars with more people !! In the old days when there was no Internet he always remembered to the devotees who are chanting the Holy Names all over the world and that filled me with much enthusiasm to sing my Japa, now as before seeing photos of devotees and devotees in Sankirtan I take on a lot of enthusiasm ..... Infinite thanks dear GuruMaharaja because you, he always prays for me and gives me so much mercy !!! You once

He told me that there is more mercy for the most fallen, you. He's so compassionate to this useless soul and fall, eternally grateful to his divine lotus feet !!!

Radhe, Radhe, Radhe .........

Your useless and clumsy servant

m. Jambavati d.d.

HpS - Hare Krsna. We are crying a little as we read your letter. We only hope that we can be of a <<little>> practical service to you. We have been trying to contact you for weeks, months. Your pictures of Gaura Nitai, Vrnda, Gopal are on our altar, and your Monkey and Piggy guard to walls.

Thank you for your association.

Krsna can send people.

Krsna can send inteligence.

... at any moment. So, all we can say is that you are certainly one of the most well protected people in the universe. It would be hard to find anyone in ISKCON who does not respect you as a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Caitanya.

Chant Hare Krsna, and be happy.

Be very happy.

Let Krsna illuminate your service and give you more and more proximity with devotees.

Thank you.

Dear Gurideva Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.❗

We just finished the December marathon, we made 29 Harinamas, a group of 10 devotees, and distributed approx. 6300 medium books and 300 bg. this was the honeymoon with my wife😂😂😂

HpS - ASA - You married Santa Rosa of Lima!

Gurudeva my wife's name is Aleksandra 👫 she is from SA Petersburg, she aspires to Niranjana Swami, She did Bhaktisastri in Mayapur and lived in the temple of lodres as Brahmacarini, she also participated with the Group from Harinama Ruci from Flourma Sankirtan,📚📚💃🕺🎤

now she is studying for the initiation exam and His Guru Maharaja asked us to go to Mayapur after finishing the marathon,

I have realized that I do not have much to offer to you more than my service and my Japa 🧘‍♂️📿🚧👷🧰📚, I am an enjoyer and maya punishes me every so often for that😈😣, I can't even call myself his disciple but I hope to get up again in Mangalaratika, I feel the constant purification😫, I have understood that I am a prisoner who is beaten🕰️⏳ and I must accept this with humility someday and keep trying to serve you whatever happens Gurudeva🐾🐈. 

HpS - Chanakya says that poverty cannot stay where there is constant endeavor, ignoraance cannot stay where there is constant recitation of the Vedas, and sinful reaction cannot stay where there is constant recitation of the Name of Hari.

Regarding Giriraja Mahajaraja and Srimati Radharani, we have generated a lot of attachment, it is what keeps us getting up early and keeps our family together👨🗿👧, we try to make things in our home revolve around Giridhari, in these times there are no qualified brahmanas, but we are trying to occupy our lives in the service of Harinama Sankirtan and maintain a standard of cleanliness🧽🧼🧹🚿 and punctuality⏱️ as we were taught in the temple with our deity, we also worship Pancatatva and Nrsmha deva, Lord Hanuman and Tulasi devi every morning, serving Guru Param Para and you Gurudeva and my wife's Guru HH Niranjana Swami.

HpS - As we understand, unless you are following four principles strict, like a Brahmana, worshipping Giriraja shilas can be dangerous. He is like a little child. He will get angry and kick things and even kill people!

After Mayapur we will go to Jaganath puri 🏯👑to continue with Harinama Sankirtan with His blessings🎣🙆‍♂️🙆‍♀️🙏🙏♿, so I will send you preaching reports when the month ends. 🎵🎼💯

HpS - !!

Thank you for your daily classes and those of your disciples every morning I listen to them when we are in the service to the deity through the Facebook of Asa Mexico🌮🇲🇽🌯, because of the schedules I cannot connect live, (the presentation or criticism of Sankia's book was very good) thank you very much for feeding me every morning with your teachings💦🌱. 

intend of his servant Vrajendra Kumara Das,🐷🎹🍨

HpS - Sorry we are so lazy!! Of you continue as you are doing you will achieve all success!

From the request: Atul-krsna Das writes:a Maharaja dandavats!...We are looking to gather a team of devotees to put together a module of teacher training specifically for online teaching...Under our current circumstances, obviously required urgently....Could you possibly consider some of your students who might be qualified and available to be involved?

ASA - Anyone can help? Don't be timid.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

If it's possible, I'd like to take part on this team. I have experience in online teaching, specially with ICT tools, and organizing online projects. I'd like further information and details.

Thanks a lot!

Trying to serve,

Rukmini dd

ASA - What is your whatsapp number? 🙂 We wil send you his, and not publish yours.

Hare Krishna Dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept our humble obeisances 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all his ISKCON army.

ASA - https://www.google.com/search?q=army+of+rama&rlz=1C1CHBH_enUS920US920&sxsrf=ALeKk02D8oDLBBAYfXsoAQOdE3wy4Q65yQ:1611279005758&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiAoJaGsq7uAhWQY98KHXyQBxMQ_AUoAnoECBoQBA&biw=1163&bih=525

All glories to you and your services

Please accept our report of this year as a sincere endeavor of improving our actual consciousness. This year was great in terms of introspection and learning about our Anarthas.

Living again with my parents and Ranchor Prabhu has been an Intense experience. I’m a very intolerant and angry being, I recognize that is mostly for tons of unfulfilled desires…i desire to control others, I desire respect and power, I desire comfort and family connections, I desire a convenient Grihasta life. But thanks to Krishna I’m NOT getting that, and I’m learning to get detach from those desires and attachments.

HpS - Want to be Draupadi in your next life. There is an opening for the role.

The first thing we do in our day is look for closer shelter of Srila Prabhupada’s instructions for our life as you suggested, and every day we hear him on Prabhupada box, We feel so happy after hearing his voice, his instructions to keep us strong in sadhana whole day, his sense of humor and intolerance for rascalism. 

Ranchor prabhu set up a nice daily Dinacharya for us—-> 

FMP, Japa, Radha Govinda and Nama Prabhu service with fruits, almonds and flowers @7am, prayers @7:30, SB/BG reading, Yoga, Breakfast, Nap, Diary/Journal writing, Cooking and hearing HpS class, Bhajans, Gratitude journal writing, Milk and Sleep.

ASA - Wow! Super man! 

I’m currently studying Srimad Bhagavatam with my friend Premarani (We read on Skype, almost finish Canto 3). Also I started a job as a Science Teacher for Junior High Students, Teaching Math, Biology, Physics and Chemistry, which has been nice but a bit frustrating because the curriculum force us to teach Evolution and mechanistic view of the world. But kids are sweet and inquisitive, one day we discuss about our temporary body-permanent soul, so is not all bad.

HpS - ... and other girls are being raped an butchered in Nairobi! So, nice your life!! So nice. Find ways to get the truth across, just like Prahlada when he was in school.

Gurumaharaja this year we learned to slow down and trust Krishna’s plans, to plan less and surrender more, to desire less and chant and pray more and go deeper in our spiritual life. 

We would like to offer all our actions and services during this year to your lotus feet, our only goal is to please you and Srila Prabhupada, begging to get your causeless blessings always

Still working on becoming worthy disciples

Always hankering for your service and association

Your fallen servants,

Govinda Pramodini Dasi & Ranchor Krsna Das

HpS - Thank you. Keep chanting and looking for the inspiration of how you can fit directly into the preaching. Now just being Brahmanas, but be Goswami's, Krsna driving your chariot: Shoot here, duck, hold on for this turn.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj Hanumatpresaka Swami, ¿cómo está?

Mis deseos de salud y felicidad en conciencia de krishna para usted!

Con mucha sinceridad quiero escribirle esta carta de manera resumida, pues hace mucho tiempo no le escribía.

En el camino, me di cuenta que no estaba siguiéndolo de manera apropiada, y por ello, las veces que le escribí, usted no recibió mis reportes. Con humildad nuevamente intento escribirle.

Este año 2020 ha tenido muchos cambios para mi. Durante 11 meses trabajé como psicólogo en una institución cristiana con personas que viven en la calle. Fue una experiencia fuerte ya que son personas con historias de vida de mucho sufrimiento, también pude ver muy de cerca la degradación de kali yuga, y en un momento, comencé a enfermarme, pues habían nudos kármicos tan fuertes en ellos, y yo no podía ayudarlos realmente. ni el gobierno del país podía hacerlo completamente. Por las horas laborales difícilmente podía predicarles, entonces no me sentía satisfecho por completo. Y en un momento decidí retirarme del trabajo y dedicarme a la astrología védica, ya que había tenido estudios hace un par de años pero no era tan central en mi vida. Y pues, con ello me siento satisfecho, porque les entrego el maha mantra hare krishna a todas las personas que me solicitan una carta natal, puedo entregarles conocimiento védico y hablarles del bhagavad gita.

También todo este año 2020 he estado cuidando a mi abuela de 93 años, junto a mi madre. Una labor que requiere mucha paciencia, y consciencia de autocuidado propio, pues hay que bañarla, cocinarle, ayudarle a moverse, etc..

Por todo esto, no tuve mucha participación en el templo, sumado al corona virus que nos obligo a estar en el hogar.

Por otro lado,

Este año no he tenido el sadhana ideal, como cuando vivía en templos, pero krishna siempre me ha llevado a madurar y evolucionar, a veces con sufrimiento por errores cometidos, y a veces con inteligencia.

Tengo la suerte de que mi madre es devota más fuertemente hace 2 años aproximadamente, y con ella compartimos el cocinarle a krishna, tenemos nuestro altar, etc.

También le comento que estoy asociado con una devota llamada Gabriela. Tenemos planes para casarnos para seguir lo recomendado por prabhupada. ya los padres de ambos lo saben y están contentos. Ella ayuda con la prédica del ministerio vaishnavi y otros servicios más.

Con esto creo que resumo en general mi vida, le agradezco de corazón sus esfuerzos por seguir a su maestro espiritual Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, por expandir la conciencia de krishna, por tener la misericordia de darle primera iniciación a este tonto, y permitirme intentar saborear el santo nombre bajo la guía del hilo invisible que me ata a usted y a krishna en la distancia.

Me despido pidiéndole disculpas por no haberle escrito antes, me sentí culpable en muchas ocasiones. Pero a pesar de que se que no es lo correcto, también se que eso indica que usted es importante para mi.

En esta existencia eterna me siento agradecido de conocer a un maestro espiritual y la comunidad vaishnava.

Title: Annual report

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj Hanumatpresaka Swami, how are you?

HpS -About the same as you!

My wishes for health and happiness in Krishna consciousness to you!

With great sincerity I want to write this letter to you in a summarized way, because I have not written to you for a long time.

HpS/ASA - 😕

Along the way, I realized that I was not following you properly, and therefore, the times I wrote to you, you did not receive my reports. With humility again I try to write to him.

This year 2020 has had many changes for me. For 11 months I worked as a psychologist in a Christian institution with people who live on the streets. It was a strong experience since they are people with life histories of a lot of suffering, I could also see very closely the degradation of kali yuga, and at one point, I began to get sick, because there were such strong karmic knots in them, and I could not really help them. not even the government of the country could do it completely. Because of the working hours I could hardly preach to them, so I was not completely satisfied. And at one point I decided to retire from work and dedicate myself to Vedic astrology, since I had had studies a couple of years ago but it was not that central in my life. And so, with that I feel satisfied, because I give the hare krishna maha mantra to all the people who request a birth chart from me, I can give them Vedic knowledge and tell them about bhagavad gita.

HpS - Hmmm!

Also all this year 2020 I have been taking care of my 93-year-old grandmother, together with my mother. A task that requires a lot of patience, and awareness of her own self-care, since you have to bathe her, cook her, help her move, etc.

For all this, I did not have much participation in the temple, added to the corona virus that forced us to be at home.

On the other hand,

This year I have not had the ideal sadhana, as when I lived in temples, but Krishna has always led me to mature and evolve, sometimes with suffering from mistakes made, and sometimes with intelligence.

I am lucky that my mother has been more strongly devoted to her about 2 years ago, and with her we share cooking for Krishna, we have our altar, etc.

I also mention that I am associated with a devotee named Gabriela. We have plans to get married to follow Prabhupada's recommendation. their parents already know it and are happy. She helps with the preaching of the Vaishnavi ministry and other services.

With this I think I summarize my life in general, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your efforts to follow your spiritual master Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, for expanding Krishna consciousness, for having the mercy of giving this fool first initiation, and allowing me to try to savor the holy name under the guidance of the invisible thread that binds me to you and krishna in the distance.

I say goodbye apologizing for not having written to you earlier, I felt guilty on many occasions. But even though I know it's not the right thing to do, I also know that it indicates that you are important to me.

In this eternal existence I am grateful to meet a spiritual master and the Vaishnava community.

HpS - Thank you, thank Gabriela, Mama and Grand Mama! Get your rounds done. HK. HK!! Then Krsna can give you more chance to preach. Take notes of your Sankirtan. That will help you improve it daily and send a report after a few weeks.

Expect rapid change.
