You're Devine grace hanumat presaka swami.all glories to srila prabhupada

Recently heard you're lecture thru Iskon desire tree srimad bhagavaram 10-68-01-54 always a great boon.its been awhile since I written,and still follow you're blog and get answers to questions that never cross this desert of a mind.sheltering in place is beneficial,nice not to rush thru Japa and reading etc.this is what retirement must be like.

The temple is closed and not having association is difficult.krshna conciseness without devotees is just phantasmagoria,but bhagavaram is my solice.i celebrate a year on memorial day of not smoked weed,and all other regs have been in Place for years.feel like krsna is dragging me thru life since I'm not strong enough to completely surrender.maybe that's why krsna doesn't give mercy to a mudah like me.maybe you could put in a good word for me.hoping to be able to render devotional service to you.

Krishna Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Its being a while since i last wrote feeling ashamed of not doing so earlier, This pandemic has afected all of us here at Panama i think is the same way for everyone , the country has applied strict measurements no work, no one can go outside the hours for men are : tuesday and thursday in there given hours and weekend is total lockdown .

Ive taken this time to improve my sadhana listening to classes at night and the mornings, i couldnt to this on a daily basis . Being doing service for my lady and the cats (4 of the them) also taking care of the one downstairs of the building.

Devotees here in 2 provinces(the capital and another one named colon) are organizing 2 times a week food for life for the most needed with the help of the cops .

Ratha yatra just passed, cause the virus it had to be postponed but i know by krishna mercy soon the Rath will be even greater, in my heart i wish to see lord Jaggannath so bad.

Struggling everyday to be better devotee and to anartha nivrtti is what i aspire .

I am not working at the moment but trying to create new ways to gain laskmi, till this is over i cant work, i am about to open an instagram with tied dyed designs that i am making and selling socks. Also looking on new oportunities to study abroad maybe canada or spain it will have to be next year though ,training everyday to be strong warrior.

its important for the mind and the body this machine that keep it strong and in function.

Its incredible how we are put to the test and difficulties in this world like Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura said only the one who assist to kirtan of the devotees can be successful .

Thank you for your mercy gurudeva and example, hoping your health is well and strong as an Ox .

Here are the deities from panama .

Haribol

your dumb servant.

Hare Krishna.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Please accept my humble obeisances to you lotus feet.

Dear Gurudev hope you are in a safe place, when ambo told us thats the tickets are cancelled my mind get calm and my heart broke. But you’re so merciful and give us the chance to still engange in some service. Something I learn is invent service and i began a Kirtan from home, where the devotees can connect from their homes and do Kirtan, for Rama Navami we done 13 hours of transmition and many devotees participate. Many Challenges everyday, some problems, contacting devotees, explain, check connection, schedule, senior devotees are participating too. Make a few months I told you i beginning a SADHU SANGA program (wich not prospered) but when i told you about that you answer me, thats it should maintain me, and i feel this is happening with the Kirtan, it maintain me reading pending of devotees, thinking in propagate the holy names, and think about Srila Prabhupada. More than 2000 people are part of this group. I’m learning a lot of things. Some time trying to control my mind, my senses, devotees relationships, my goal, my sincerity, if I have a clear objetive my mind will be fixed.

You always ask me about my husband, N. Gaurananda Das, well he’s a really nice person always with many projects to mintain and take care of our family.

In this quarentine we are 24 hours together, and we really enjoy the time together. He´s doing Home Office. 

We hope can do our fire marriage any other moment.

In July will do 4 years from our marriage.

When we have meeting with my guru father-in-law Srila Virabahu Maharaja he told us 4 things because the persons get married.

1- needing

2 - yajña

3- responsability

4 - art of relationship 

We always have it present, and we really try to be good each other. And add up.

About his services, like he is disculpe of our GBC, and live 6 years in the temple, he’s part of Administrative comission of the temple, and national administration group. His services are Initiation departament in charge, part of communication dpt. and nexus to help in education dpt.

Already we're living with my father, like my mom left her body, and we're constructing our home next by his, we live here temporary, soon like 6 months or 1 year, we want to move, the home will not be finished but we need our place to not perturb my dad rithym, he is a great person, really help un in everything he can. 

Thank you so much Gurudev for take care of us, always asking about our life.

Today is Rama Navami and many thing happen, tomorrow my dad will have an urgent laser surgery, i'm worried but Krsna controls.

Sorry for my long letter, many time yous ask me questions and i never answer, sorry for that.

Your small servant.

My dear guruji:

HpS - Esteemed devotee!

I'm reporting the situation from the holy dhama.

In the district of Mathura, which includes Mathura, vrndavan, govardhan, nanda gaon, varsana and radhakund there are reported 22 cases, 14 in Mathura, 2 in vrndavan, the rest in the other places, so since we are in red zone, we have another lockdown, now until middle may.

I have stopped my radhakund seva since garbage is involved there and we don't know who threw it, I will start again when this situation gets better.

But, as the marketing people say, we are in a "win-win strategy" that is, if we survive we are in the dhama trying to do seva, if we don't then, if we are qualified, we are going back home, or at least, as you say "We are going to get a blade of grass or monkey body in radhakund".

HpS - !

We are in the hands of Radha-Kunja Bihari and we know they have a plan for everyone of us, we only have to think how to serve them better each remaining day, that is our goal.

Giridhari got stuck in Navadvip, he went for preaching with gurubhais to Bengal and in Tripura people asked him to stay longer, which he did, he was in Assam with Krsna Svarup and family for some days and then he went to navadvip to visit some people there and then the lockdown came and he could not move from there, let's see when he's coming back and if he wants to come back since he's very happy there without attachments and familiar concerns.

In his absence we had to make some changes here at home, my daughter is in charge of Radharani's kitchen and gardening and I am in the temple serving Radha Kunja bihari as pujari.

I really did not know how many details this seva involves, I use to go to the temple for sringar arati and said "they look beauriful" but I did not imagine how much endeavour is it, to check dresses and jewelry to keep them clean and unbroken, to pick tulasi and flowers, garlands, paraphernalia, keep the temple clean, to be aware of the special festivals like jahnmastami, radhastami, Rama navomi, candan yatra, etc to make special dresses and decoration, wow. Now I u understand and recognize the pujaris all around the world "please pujarijis accept my humble obeisances"

I remember Aindra prabhu told me once "everything you give and serve Nitai Gour is ok because they are very merciful and they do not see our mistakes, but for Radha Krsna you should be perfect" and I know I'm very far from being perfect so please my dear Guru Maharaja bestow your causeless mercy upon me to serve them better every day.

%%%^In relation with Haridev's school we had to enhance his home schooling. His mother is teaching him Hindi, Bengali and English and I'm trying to teach him the "boring subjects" as some people say like geography, biology and maths, but he's very inquisitive and when we change the theme he asks "first tell me what the Vedas say to this respect".

Sometimes I know and other times I run to the Srimad Bhagavatam to learn myself to teach him properly.

Here I have a doubt, I have heard that Vedas have the idea that the earth is not round or oval as we have learned from time immemorial, but flat or something like that and if so, then I don't understand things like transition from day to night, phases of the moon, or seasons of the year for example pls enlight me to this respect and if you know someone who can help me to have a curriculum for these subjects based on the Vedas it would help me very much.

HpS - I think the cosmology video we did for Aravinda Das for Mexico is in the ASA Audiovisual channel in youtube. There are just different maps. One is the globe, round model. That is fine.

Akincana das from Mexico and Gour Gadadhar from Peru are lockdowned in Mayapur. Akincana is very sad because he has not been able to come to vrndavan, please pray for him so he can get it.

I pray everyday to Radharani to take care of you so you can guide us all to her side.

Thank you very much, my dear gurudev, because you read all our distressed and concerns and advise us wisely to get through them.

Jaya Sri Radhe-Kunja Bihari no jaya!!!

Your (trying to be humble) servant

Tungavidya devi dasi

Of course, Radha-Kunda, Sri Vrndavana Dhama, is the greatest news in the world. Eg. A pig crossed the street. That is valuable news for us from Radha kunda!

Dear Guru Maharaja: 😍

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada pamho

I write to you from Iskcon Vrndavan, passing a very beautiful quarantine full of incredible services to the deities, to the samaddhi of Srila Prabhupada, to the Deities of Aindrema Prabhu, Im taking care of the Tulasi that was planted by Aindra Pabhu and do service in the house of Prabhupada changing Srila Prabhupada and the bed where I leave the body, seriously it has been an experience that I always dream of living in this temple, thanks for your blessings, Gurudeva lover, nothing is possible without your blessing.😷

😸

 Gurudeva on the other hand 😔

I have had to suffer because in Mexico the devotee with whom I wanted to marry accuses me of having physically and morally abused her, I spoke with her GM Mahatma Prabhu and with my GBC Guruprasad Swami and accept everything she says ,

They made me write to her a letter. Devotees have made very strong comments to me, but they do not really tell me what I am accused of. I feel bad, Gurudeva, who due to my immaturity has caused so much damage to that mother and the others with whom I have tried to associate, I am very confused and Disappointed of myself, in Vrndavan all offenses are paid and I feel that internally I am in a very existential crisis, to make other people suffer is something that really makes me feel very bad, and I see that I only make great souls suffer that Krsna sends for me, seriously they have been incredible mothers Gurudeva, but Mahatma Prabhu says that I am very immature and I must prepare myself, I do not know how to carry this, I cannot apologize or repair it, now I cannot even go to Mexico to show my face and Apologize, I don't know how to fix the mistakes of my past, Gurudeva is tormenting me, please instruct me on what to do in this situation? I just want to disappear from everyone and leave the preaching, remain devoted and serve yous,

I don't know Gurudeva I feel very confused

 Thank you for listening to me, you are always in my heart, although I am unable to be your disciple, I dream of being one but I cannot escape these material desires, it is already lust, please instruct me on how to continue my spiritual path, I do not want to give up, I know that this is one more proof and Mr. Gauranga and Nityananda have me by their hand. 

his would-be servant Vrajendra Kumara Das
