All glories to Sri Sri GouraNitay !!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!!

All the Glories and my most humble obeisances to you dear Gurudeva!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, I hope you are in good health and in every respect, Lord Nrsimha is always protecting your steps, I have been fortunate enough to be able to connect to the start meeting programs and it is so exciting and inspiring to hear and know at the same time that although the devotees are in different places doing their programs we are connected in some way and you are with us encouraging us in our sadhanas and the chanting of the Holy Name, my favorite part of the program is when you read us the NOD, it is a loving father reading to your children, I thank you so much for all your effort to always be there, although as I do not always take advantage of it ... I hope to stay connected with you through this means, it is my great opportunity to obtain your association.

I know that I am writing to you after a long time, last year was so intense of a lot of study, we have very little left to finish the university (I am studying for a midwife) and I was approved in all the branches in 2017 and I had my internships in hospitals, incredible to see how people just need to be treated well or a kind word, it was a very nice experience since I felt much more confident with what I have learned these years.

My children are very well Manjari is 14 years old and Giridhari 13 grew so much that I am already a dwarf next to them, they are learning many interesting things both are participating in a program during the year at the Catholic University where they will carry out workshops and science courses, Mathematics, art, ecology, astronomy and sports, languages, poetry, really is a very interesting program that encourages them to be more inquisitive and reflective with knowledge.

I'm improving my sadhana, singing the 16 rounds and following the 4 principles, increasing the reading and learning songs I write them on a poster and I stick them on the wall so every time I spend I memorize something until I learn it, it's a good technique to learn verses too . During the past year I found it very difficult to perform a service in the temple, for my studies, children and home duties, I hope this year to have the opportunity to perform some service, or perhaps hold meetings in my house taking advantage of the space and The environment of the field, while at home we take care of Sri Sri GouraNitay and Tulasi who has already been two years with us, it has already been two winters and although the winters here are not as cold as in the USA it is a blessing that Tulci is in our home .

I say goodbye to you, Gurudev, hoping that you are well and thanking you once again for all the inspiration that you give us and that impels us to go ahead and improve, excuse all my negligence and offenses.

* The Japathon was very good to start the year 28R, it could be repeated *

HpS - Thank you!!   Another technique is to put a verse on your refrigerator door and chant it everytime you open the door.

You seem to be going ahead very well. Just continue....   engage others wherever you go.

Hare Krishna dear Hanumat  Presaka Swami!

In your last answer you said me that you don’t remember who i am. Nowadays I’m not a pigeon. I’m a girl from Valencia, Orthodox nun in my last life.

Thanks you for your answer. You say the first step is get initiated.

I read your text about guru-tattva.

Some time ago I started to feel the need of follow somebody who could instruct me to serv better to Srila Prabhupada. Something formal, with commitment. Because is easier for me be fixed an motivated in service if I have that responsability. Srila Prabhupada gave meaning to my life and i have a big desire to serv him.  Hanumat Presaka Swami please, help  and instruct me in that way! I would like to take instructions and diksa from you.

I have experienced that be ocuped in devotional service ( or trying to do it) is the only thing that makes me really happy and pacefull. I desire  cultivate true love for Krishna and never have material desires. Please hepl me to establish a relationship with Prabhupada.

I listen your lessons practically every day. I feel special inspiration from you, I like the way you see the world and explain questions. They turn on my brain.

My personal situation is:

-In January of 2017 I started to read and chant 3 rounds daily. I was following the 4 principles. In September I started to chant 16 rounds every day.  Try to chat them nicely but  is quite difficult.

-I read some Prabhupada Little books, The Upadesamprita, Have started the BG (i am reading it even).cRead Sri Isopanishad and started with the first Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam.

- I participe constantly in temple programms. I use to leader kirtans. We are not many devotees so we use to altering in other services like cooking, serv prasadam, clean…

Now we started with Santirtan. I have distribute some books in university and in my town. With devotees we sarted to do harinama and sankirtana in Valencia center.  I really  like this service , But i preffer distribute to people  something close to me.

-I rise normally at 4, but lately i fall asleep until 4.30-4.45. Somedays i find hard to pick me up alone. Then I chant ronds and do mangala arati!!The best moment of day!

Thanks you for your continuous inspiration!

I would like to be your formal aspirant disciple, is it possible?

My authority is Thirtaraja Das, the president of temple.

 Hare Krishna!! Your servant, Arina.

Which airport, beautful, 

HpS - AGTSP!!!   Pamho...  Thank you for your letter.  We may understand that there is God, the Supreme Controller, and then we begin to appreciate Guru, like Lord Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammad, Lord Caitanya. Like that our knowledge of Guru-tattva expands: Diksa Guru, Siksa Guru, Vartmana-pradarshika/Pradarshika Guru, Ashrama guru etc. Our knowledge of Balarama!   Nityananda!

In the Guru-tattva we tried to explain how we feel we are a guru in ISKCON.  By joining this Blog this should become more and more clear. You can connect with Srila Prabhupada just by his books: read them, apply them. You can connect with him through citta-guru, the paramatma. You can connect with him by many Siksa gurus. Some devotees may be siksa-guru in Varna-ashrama dharma, others in book distribution, others in sastra others in personal spiritual development.

We are working as Diksa guru, and as Siksa-guru, here we are, Blog-ether-guru, and we travel to Spain. Your local association with Senior Vaisnavas, Spanish Vaisnavas, is essential but of course you have to learn their assets and liabilities.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj, 

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis reverencias,

Acerca de mi ashram, desde el 2015 decidí hacer el intento de estar en el grishastha ashram pero las cosas no fueron bien, por esa razón ahora decidí concentrar mi mente en la prédica de la conciencia de Krishna y la lectura de los libros de Srila Prabhupada.

Ahora no estoy trabajando, pero aprovecho el tiempo en estudiar. Volví a leer el primer canto del Bhagavatam y ya terminé de leer el Adi lila del Cc

Espero aprovechar mis vacaciones en predicar y estudiar, para luego volver al arduo trabajo del mundo material

Muchas gracias por preocuparse, 

Hare Krishna

Por favor acepte mis reverencias

El 2018 estoy comenzando con 2 grupos Bhakti vriksha establecidos. En el grupo Nimai Nitay (Callao) nos reunimos cada semana en casa de Prahu Abhiram y hemos hecho planes de prédica para Enero, Febrero y Marzo para atraer a más personas a la conciencia de Krishna. En Chosica, en Febrero tenemos planeado distribuir alimentos en una población pobre.

En Febrero termino de dar el curso de Introducción al Bhakti Yoga en Wilson, luego espero dar ese tiempo para abrir un nuevo grupo Bhakti vrisha en Lima.

Muchas Gracias Guru Maharaj por darnos inspiración en el Servicio Devocional

HpS - Jaya!    TLGASP!!!!   Pfanhr.  Y su ashrama? Esta quedando en papel de Brahmacari??   Super fotos.

Hare Krsna, Gurudev Maharaja!
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - Let us work as best we can against Maya so that in the future we will have them.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada, Sripada, and Guru Parampara, Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay, Radha Krsna Ki Jay.

HpS - Ki, Jaya!

Dandavat Pranam Guruji Maharaja!

I have downloaded Gurujis amritabani reply of my previous letters. I am so happly to get Guruji’s reply and I thing I am just siting with Guruji’s and discussing about different topics.

We 13 members participated Dr. Sarada’s first aniversity of her initiation at Toubul the birth place of Dr. T.D. Singh (Sripada Maharaja). It was a nice function with bhajans, prabachan on Guruji’s qualities and bhaktas in Manipur, prasadam of above 70 members’ matajis and prabhujis. Radhacharan Das, President of Imphal ISKCON Centre. He introduced some members of Imphal Bazar Traders Communities and discussed to form a committee for registration of Cow Protection “Go Raksak Samiti” to look after the cows in Toubul Radha Madhava Mandir which were donated by local bhaktas. Shortly they will form a committee and start collection of fund for the construction of cow selter, maintenance etc.

I have started distribution of monthly journal “Bhagavat Paojel” among the public of Thoubal. The number will be increased gradually. Initially I took 30 journals only.  

On next Sunday the Ganesh Pujah I will narrate the Bhagavatam 9:15:1 to some slokas. When I studied sloka 2-3 in the part of the translation “the son of Hotraka was Jahnu, who drank all the water of the Ganges in one sip”. What is the underlying story of Jahnu and Ganges? Guruji! Please highlight the story to us, so as to enable me to elaborate to the audience. And is it related to the seventh dvipa (Jahnu Dvipa) of Nabadvipa parikrama?

HpS - Jaya!!!   Your local Sankirtan will always have universal effects. By doing good in one little place we are doing good to the entire universe ...

SB 4.31.14

yathā taror mūla-niṣecanena
 tṛpyanti tat-skandha-bhujopaśākhāḥ
prāṇopahārāc ca yathendriyāṇāṁ
 tathaiva sarvārhaṇam acyutejyā

Translation:  As pouring water on the root of a tree energizes the trunk, branches, twigs and everything else, and as supplying food to the stomach enlivens the senses and limbs of the body, simply worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead through devotional service automatically satisfies the demigods, who are parts of that Supreme Personality.

We searched and found this reference: https://www.vedabase.com/en/rkd/appendix-1-story-of-tiver-ganges. I think it gives good answer to your question. Let us look at some other letters also.  Go ahead, Go ahead. 

Yours fallen servant,

Querido Gurudeva espero que el frío sea más tolerante donde se encuentra, ha sido bonito reencontrarme con mis amigos conocer   a más devotos y hermanos después de tanto tiempo aquí en Chile. Vinimos por varias razones, no me vine para vivir de ser así sería con su aprobación. Al regreso a Lima pensamos vivir cerca al templo y tener empleo en educación o comunicación, lo que Krsna nos de, estaremos muy agradecidos. Estoy pensando muy seriamente en organizar mis horas de estudios sastricos para poder enseñar el SB comoUd. Me pidió sobre todo a quienes lo tengan y poder contribuir en eso en el movimiento, con sus bendiciones hasta un ciego puede ver.

Al regreso continuaremos haciendo pujari, dando Bhakti Satri, y ojala iniciar el taller Bhaktivedanta, no hay otra alegría en mi vida. En año pasado lo llame el año de maya, y este espero sea mejor, seguimos pensando que mi situación es la mejor para servir y lo haremos sola o casada lo que Krsna disponga y confiamos siempre en su protección y guía.

Demos sus bendiciones para distribuir libros mientras nos estabilizamos y servir de esta manera a la causa de Srila Prabhupada.

Que Krsna lo triga pronto por estos lares donde el sol brilla y la fruta es dulce.

HpS - ¡Gracias, YKD! ¡Viajar es la opulencia de B'cari y Sannyasi! Ghrastha tiene que quedarse en un lugar, pero tiene su casa, su familia, su automóvil, su trabajo, para que pueda ajustar su pequeño jardín.

B'cari y Sannyasis no tienen eso, pero pueden viajar, por lo que es muy agradable que te hayas ido a Chile para inspirarte y para inspirarte. Sería bueno hacerlo regularmente, ¿no?

Tus planes parecen agradables.

Tenemos un diálogo bastante frecuente con Mathuresa Das y él espera venir a Lima mientras estamos allí y podemos analizar la educación y hacer ajustes prácticos.

Hoy hace calor, pero probablemente estará por debajo de cero. KRSNA, KRSNA, KRSNA, KRSNA !!! Él es una buena persona. Ciertamente, se toma muy en serio todas las austeridades que haces por él, y luego ... ... ¡Te dará aún más para hacerlo! Pero más interesante ... e importante [para él]. Todos vamos a morir. Lo único que hay que hacer es morir y morir de manera interesante.

Dear Gurudeva I hope the cold is more tolerant where you are, it has been nice to meet with my friends to meet more devotees and brothers after so much time here in Chile. We came for several reasons, I did not come to live to be like that would be with your approval. When we return to Lima we plan to live close to the temple and have a job in education or communication, which Krsna will give us, we will be very grateful. I am thinking very seriously about organizing my sastric studies hours in order to teach SB as you. He asked me above all for those who have it and be able to contribute to that in the movement, with his blessings even a blind man can see.
At the return we will continue doing pujari, giving Bhakti Satri, and hopefully start the Bhaktivedanta workshop, there is no other joy in my life. Last year I called it the year of Mayan, and this I hope will be better, we continue to think that my situation is the best one to serve and we will do it alone or married what Krsna has and we always trust in his protection and guidance.
Let us give their blessings to distribute books while we stabilize and thus serve the cause of Srila Prabhupada.
May Krsna soon bring you through these parts where the sun shines and the fruit is sweet.

HpS - Thank you YKD!  Traveling is the opulence of B'cari and Sannyasi!   Ghrastha has to stay one place, but has his house, his family, his car, his job, so he can adjust his little garden.

B'cari and Sannyasis don't have that, but they can travel, so is very nice you have gone Chile to be inspired and inspire.  Would be nice to do it regularly, no?.

You plans seems nice.

We have pretty frequent dialog with Mathuresa Das and he hopes to come to Lima while we are there and we can discuss education and make practical adjustments.

Today is warm, but will probably be below freezing again. KRSNA, KRSNA, KRSNA, KRSNA!!!  He is such a nice person. He certainly takes very seriously all the austerities you do for Him, and then... ...   He will give you even harder ones to do!!!!  But more interesting... and important [to Him].  We are all going to die. The only thing then is to die and interesting death.
