¡Hare Krishna!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas las glorias a Hanumatpresaka swami

Jaya Sri Sri Goura Nitay

Reverencias a usted y todos los vaisnavas.

Me encuentro en Cabildo, lugar de nacimiento de este cuerpo material. Hoy estuve registrando y entrevistando a pobladores de Cabildo que son partícipes de una cultura religiosa católica Chilena, los bailes religiosos. Allí se baila y tocan instrumentos en una peregrinación con la imagen de la virgen por diversas localidades.

La idea de todo esto es hacer un trabajo multiformato (fotos, audios, videos, cuentos, etc), para lanzarlo en diferentes plataformas virtuales, intentando contar esta historia de una manera novedosa utilizando técnicas de transmedia.

Además de estos bailes, la noche anterior a esta actividad, se le canta a la imagen de la virgen o santo, lo que se llama canto a lo divino. Allí se canta temáticas netamente religiosas, basadas en temáticas de la biblia. El foco de todo este trabajo es que las personas se aferren a su fe, así, de alguna u otra manera, acercarlos más a Krishna.

Todos los días sábados, en la plaza de armas de Cabildo, junto a mi hermana (mi bartmanapradaksaka guru) Estamos realizando kirtan yoga por las tardes, y en la mañana hago un poco de sankirtan, presentando primero un recetario, ya que la gente es muy prejuiciosa. Aquí hay un dicho que dice “pueblo chico, infierno grande”.

De Domingo a Viernes por la mañana estoy en el templo, ayudando en servicios de limpieza, asistente de pujari y como secretario del presidente del templo. Luego, el viernes por la mañana viajo a Cabildo, ya que estoy trabajando en una localidad rural haciendo clases de música en una pequeña escuela, música folclórica, buena experiencia.

Luego quiero enviarle varias preguntas, pero por el momento quería informarle de estos temas. Me siento muy bien en el templo, necesitaba estar en magalartic, tener una vida espiritual más intensa.

Cuidando de no hacer más de lo que puedo y un intento de servirle cada día.

Gracias Maharaja, su aspirante, Piero Saavedra Torchio.

HpS - Increible. Sentir en el publico y cantar Hare Krsna con caracter puro es el mejor caridad!!! Super!!

Todas las glorias a Sri Guru y Sri Gauranga, todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Le pido me perdone por tardar en responder querido Gurudeva, conozco lo importante que es tomar en serio el varna-ashrama-dharma, también que es una instrucción directa de nuestro acarya y ahora de usted. Justo en este momento me encuentro en la difícil situación de tomar rápidamente un asrama como usted lo pide. Le prometo que en mi siguiente carta le daré cuentas sobre ese tema. Le oro por obtener la capacidad de tomar una buena y favorable decisión.

Resultado de sankirtan de la semana 43 libros 1 BG.

Su eterna aspirante a sirviente, Marina X.

HpS - Muchas gracias. VAD, los cuatro principios, son super para ayudar nosotros cantar Hare Krsna mejor. Muchas gracias su carta!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Guru Maharaj Hanumat Presaka Swami! Please accept our obeisances at Your Lotus feet.

HpS - AGTSP paoho. We are in Peru. In a few hours we will go to the airport and travel for 9-hours to Bolivia. Sankirtan is good. We are looking at our feet. They are clean but don't look like lotus flowers.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Thank you so much for the causeless mercy that You have bestowed upon us fallen souls. Thank you so much for the inspiration and the will to be a part of your transcendental Sankirtan party. We miss you a lot Guru maharaj.

HpS - I guess we are eternally related by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada! It is interesting that the letter just before this is also from Manipura!

We are in 3rd Canto . SB 3.7.20 Few days back we were 8 of us in the morning class given by HG Ramanuja Prabhu and 5 of us were intiated by HpS Guru Maharaj. Mataji Nandimukhi DD and Mataji Niscintya Nityai DD attend SB classes daily. 2 young Brahmacharies who got initiated this year ( from Tripura) also attend the morning SB classes sometimes.

We started daily classes from 6am on "Basic Arcana Procedures" given by HG Ramanuja Das Prabhu . 6 of us attend regularly. Thank you Guru Maharaj.

Last Sunday we went for Nagarkirtan ..and landed at the Military camp ! They were so happy and requested that we have such a programme weekly!! Nowadays, besides the Sunday kirtan we have Nagarkirtan on Saturdays too. The kirtan is getting louder and bolder!!

At the Imphal International Airport ,the Director requested monthly satsanga programme. As it happens to be late evening programme ,as much as we want to join, we have some difficulties driving late evening. We are sorry for this....we try our best to make up on Sunday.

We are still searching for the pictures for the cover of NOI. The original picture ( of the Goswamis flipping the pages) looks very nice. We are working on it ,taking the help and opinion of devotees.

Desiring to cook for Sri Jagannath, Baladev and Subhadra Ma on Rath yatra . We seek Your blessings Guru Maharaj.

Your insignificant and totally ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Even a dog can take part and dance in this movement. We have good intelligence about what is this world and so we can be happy here in any circumstance. Alone with Krsna in His Holy Names and if Krsna manifests in ISKCON, Temples, innocent people who want to be happy like us then even more.

We are talking about Manipur often in the universities here in Peru. We are still interested in this Peru Manipura connection.

Keep sending news like this. I think you life will get more and more organized into t broad plan.

Namaste Guru Maharaj

Repeated obeisance unto the lotus feet of my revered Guru Hanumat Predaka Swamy Maharaj for getting me initiation.

I think this is by the will of providence as I always prayed to the Lord for sending me my Guru.

Maharaja I am very very fortunate for this even though I am unfit and most fallen.

Gurudeva please give me blessing not to deviate from Krishna with firm determination just like the sparrow which challenge and threaten the sea for recollection of its egg.

Hare Khrisna.

Your most fallen disciple

HpS - Srila Prabhupada, Ki Jai! It is very nice to hear from you. I hope you can read our Kapi Dhvaja every two weeks. You can see it at our web page, www.jayarama.us. We explain what we are doing there. Now we are traveling in South America so the mail will be slow. Do you live near the temple in Imphal?

Hare Krishna guru maharaja

Acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias a sus pies de loto, soy su humilde sirviente ram viyaya, iniciado en Santiago de Chile, por favor perdóneme por por todas las ofensas que he cometido en contra de sus pies de loto, quisiera pedir sus bendiciones para volver a activarme en la consciencia de krisna y por favor acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias. Hare Krishna. 

HpS - Jaya!!!! No hay otro sendero. Adelante! Como esta occupada Vd? Quienes son sus asociados?

Report month Madhusudana

Hare krsna remembered Gurudeva

Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - Locus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to Sri Sri Radha Madhana Vihari

I hope you are happy in your beautiful preaching for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada.

Please forgive me for asking you not to make my letter public. Without realizing it, I lacked respect for His ashram. Please accept again my prostrated obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - We thank you for writing. Little details in etiquette are little details. Thank you.

 I also apologize to the devotees who felt uncomfortable about this.

I forgot that sometimes some people act "badly" because Sri Krishna wants to teach me through them, to see my own faults.

Once I heard: "there are problems that have no solution and others that resolve themselves, so we do not have to worry much about the problems". And it's true.

HpS - I heard that Winston Churchill said that and he won the second world war.

I had expectations of doing service together, but seeing the reality hurt me a lot.

I think I am an Adhikari kanistha because I still do not know how to relate to my dear spiritual master or to the Vaisnavas.

I thank you infinitely for your words, they help me a lot.

I remember doing publicity service for the festivals with prabhu laksman. At that time I wanted to create a communications department in chosica. They were very good times.

HpS - These are good times also and as we wake up they will get better and better!

We can not go to see him in Lima ... we are half stuck in Cordoba ... Rather, we would like you to come and visit us, there is a forest of canes behind the mud house, in front of the river and the mountains. Krsna has been very kind giving us these wonderful views. Franco told me to hope you came to visit us.

Please accept our obeisances: Frank, Gopalito and Radha at your feet.

You can publish my letters or not, you can mold them, you can do what you want. It will always be my beloved guru and if I had to be born again I would choose it again and again.

Thanks for tolerating my mistakes.

Trying to serve him with the heart:

 j.p.radha dd.

HpS - We hope Krsna kidnaps all of you and we see you in Argentina! At least we can talk on the phone while we are there. Expect miracles. We hope you include photos of your view. How is your family in Lima?
