I have some projects of preaching in this area, with dance. I ask for your blessings. please pray for us to travel to India. excuse me that just write to you we are living alone with sunlight through solar panels and I have almost no contact with the internet. I wish you very happy in vrndavam dham !! I remember and miss him very much Gurudeva, but I will take refuge in serving him through my service. You. he told me in my dream: he has to see his life ... also dream recently with Srila Prabhupada, I saw him happy ready to predict putting on his coat. I ironed his clothes. what eyes so expressive and what vitality I saw in Him !! It is the first time you remember .. having dreamed of Srila Prabhupada

. I forgot to tell you that a few months ago I gave a dance workshop in a city near Cordoba. It was nice experience.

gopalito has ladhu gopal as a playmate !!is you good and great friend!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for sending me information about manipuri dance. I want to rehearse more than what I see .. it is strange that I always saw this dance but now I just like it so much !! .. much more than baratha natyam u odissi.

I will be sending you the links that I like. bimbabati devi dasi and almost all dances like the avatar stotra are so beautiful !! thank you for allowing me to serve you in this way, allow me to meditate with great love and feeling in this SACRED ART.

I also ask you to pray for my beloved Gopalito son and for a franc to be closer to a good association of devotees.

HpS - We're all going to die!  (Then take birth again).

We are missing Swarup Damodara Maharaj so much....on the occasion of His 80th Vyasa Puja. Glorifications will be held at Shree Shree Radha Krishnachandra Mandir as well as at Shree Shree Radha Damodara Mandir, Toubul. Already feeling ecstatic....we are starting Nagar kirtan at 2pm from Sripada's Samadhi till the  Toubul temple today. Tomorrow we are planning to distribute books and some spiritual items along with a calendar ....of course not to forget the grand prasadam. We are still working on the cake too!!! We are eagerly waiting for Your grace and mercy dear Guru Maharaj.

Haridas Maharaj will be arriving here on 25th Nov. We will continue with our Bhakti Shastri classes  the moment Haridas Maharaj permits us to do so.....we are eagerly waiting for it.

Guru Maharaj....how do we go about subscribing Solaris? If possible we would like to start distribution on 20th Dec, Guru Maharaja's Vyasa Puja. Last sunday we started some book distribution....  the first to go from our hand was Vaishnava song book, 2 copies of NOI had been distributed today.....feeling very happy about that.

Your struggling, humble servant

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Very, very nice report. We are inspired!!    Can you send some photos of RIMS program  to [email protected] so that we can use them in our NIOS Report???

All Glories to [Srila] A.C. [Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila] Prabhupada, Sripada Maharajam [Maharaja],

All Glories to Gouranga Mahaprabhu and Goura Bhakta Vrnda, Ki Jay!

Guru Maharaja, Dandavat Pranam!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja's padmacharan that after Guruji's reply I have more courage for reading more and more books. The meaning of Guruji's sankirtan is reading and chanting more.

As Haridasa Swami informed me that the Navadwip parikrama will start from the 18th Feb. 2018 by registration so we have booked Air Tickets  for the 17th Feb. 2018  and reaching Navadwip by evening and leaving Mayapur on the 4th March. After the parikrama we will go to Jaganath Puri by train on the 26th and will return on the 28th morning. We will join the Goura Purnima at Mayapur.  If Guruji’s India programme is fixed it will be a golden change for us to see and served Guruji during Navadwip parikrama. We are trying to join in the English speaking team (group).

The quotations reffered by me is from the BRS. I will mention the exact contects in my next letter because I am now in the Office and could not remember the sloka nos.

The kinds of Bhakti is compare with Sugarcane-liquid sugar-redsugar-white sugar- specialised sugar as Bhava-prema-sneha- Raga (rati)- Mahabhava. Mahabhava is only in Radharani and not others. Prema is the condence form of Prema. All such sintoms were spring up in the hears of the bhaktas by the marcy of Bhagavan Sri Krsna and  the representatives of Krsna. 

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Because of the strain on the body we have decided not to come to India again in January. If we live that long I guess we will come at end of year 2018, but very, very much want to hear about your Yatra programs in Nabadvipa,Puri etc!!        Who is translator of your BRSindhu???

Dear Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I guess I am the worst of your disciples,

HpS - ASA -- Maybe second worst. The competition is stiff.

I read some of them excusing for not writing you for some months or weeks, but for me it took me years to write you again... I am a very bad disciple.

HpS - Evil. See picture below.

After some difficulties I am now chanting 16 rounds mainly in the morning before work, and following 4 principles.

We came to Colombia 5 years ago to buy a land and do some community, but it seems we choosed a land very far from the city, so nobody was comming, and we were not preaching.

1 year and a half  ago we decided to go to live in Medellin city, and start preaching a little. Here there wasnt any preaching program or sunday feast, so we started every sunday doing the program in my house, and becoming more steady with sadhana.

Since our program is the only one in this city, the few devotees that are active, are coming to our house to participate. Every sunday we have 10 - 15 devotees here, and when a preacher sannyasi or like that comes, we have like 50 guests and devotees.

Still a little entangled with my work, paying debts, looking for the mode of goodness, doing my grihastha duties and preaching a little the sundays.

Trying to improve the quality of my rounds, and the quality of my feelings towards Krishna. Still very neophite.

We are in contact with Guruprasad Swami the GBC about preaching issues. The pictures bellow [below] are from the last visit of HH Bhakti Prabhupada vrata Damodar Maharaja

Thanks Gurudev, I feel that you are helping me anyway from the distance

Is there anything that I can do to serve you?

My wife and children are well thanks to Krishna, my wife sends you greetings and obeisances.

Your humble servant

Querido Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias, todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Supongo que soy el peor de sus discípulos, he leido que algunos de ellos presentas sus excusas por no haber escrito por meses o semanas, pero yo llevo años sin escribirle de nuevo... Soy un discípulo muy malo.

Después de algunas dificultades, estoy ahora cantando 16 rondas mayormente en la mañana antes del trabajo, y siguiendo los 4 principios.

Llegamos a Colombia hace 5 años para comprar una tierra y hacer una comunidad, pero parece que escogimos una tierra muy lejos de la ciudad, así que nadie estaba viniendo, y nosotros no estábamos predicando.

Hace 1 año y medio decidimos ir a vivir a la ciudad de Medellin, y comenzar a predicar un poco. Aqui no habia ningun programa de predica o fiesta de domingo, asi que comenzamos a hacer el programa cada domingo en mi casa, y a volvernos mas fijos en el sadhana.

Como nuestro programa es el unico en esta ciudad, los pocos devotos que estan activos, estan viniendo a nuestra a casa a participar en el programa. Todos los domingos vienen 10-15 devotos, y cuando viene algun sannyasi o predicador, vienen unos 50 invitados y devotos.

Todavia un poco ocupado con mi trabajo, pagando deudas, buscando la modalidad de la bondad, haciendo mis deberes de grihastha y predicando un poco los domingos.

Estoy intentando mejorar la calidad de mis rondas y  la calidad de mis sentimientos hacia Krishna. Todavia soy muy neófito.

Estamos en contacto con Guruprasad Swami, el GBC, en referencia a los temas de prédica. Las fotos de abajo son de la visita de SS Bhakti Prabhupada vrata Damodar Maharaja.

Gracias Gurudev, siento que usted me está ayudando de todas formas, desde la distancia

Hay algo que yo pueda hacer para servirle?

Mi esposa e hijos están bien gracias a Krishna, mi esposa le manda saludos y reverencias.

Su humilde sirviente

Jambavan das

HpS - ASA -- We often think about you, what happened to you?  What is your work?  What are you reading? How old are your children?

Report sadhana

All Glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitay!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Please dear Guru Maharaja accept my respectful obeisances!

I hope this [you are] very well and always happy!

I want to tell you what we are doing: we continue enthusiastic in Santiago Mandir temple, improving sadhana.

Arduous months since there are few devotees living in the temple, therefore it is double service, I think it is difficult for twice the effort but we try every day to keep our mind fixed on Sri Sri Gaura Nitay, on Srila Prabhupada and on you, to serve, striving to be a good contribution to the Sankirtan. We have had to polish our anarthas, work tolerance, humility, respect for elders! . I remember that in the last letter I asked about the anarthas and that these can lead to offenses if they are not worked, you recommended me to read Cc Madhya 19.156 onwards, verses that speak of the creeper of bhakti. Gurudeva, I felt sorry for what I mention about the anarthas, I am afraid of committing offenses, I ask very humbly for your help, how do I avoid falling into offenses?

HpS - What we know is from the verses of Rupa-siksa mentioned above. 1) Surround yourself with good devotees and 2) Follow the rules and regulations.       Booop!     No big offenses. Of course there may be little ones, but Krsna can adjust those just by our service.

I try to be very rigorous, here the climate of relationship becomes difficult, responsibilities that fall on one, like a big backpack that is loaded with many things, thanks to Krishna I have the association of senior devotees who help me, through this association I try to take care of the roots of the vine so that with their guide they grow firm , listening attentively, singing and remembering the Lord, giving my heart as an offering, like a beggar shouting for droplets of love and mercy, I pray keep a good conscience in everything I do and always improve every day, the quality of our rounds, studying meanings of Vaishnava songs to understand what we are singing, always trying to be sincere in service and listening more to the heart than the mind.

HpS - So many devotees seem like they must have been Monjas y Monjes, Nuns and Monks, in their previous life. One does  not get so much intelligent devotion in one life time.

We try to connect by (fmp) but it is almost impossible, at that time here is kind of Srimad Bhagavatam. I hope I can write my reports more often.

Bhaktina Maria de los Angeles, servant of the servant of the servant, is dismissed.

HpS - The translation is good. If you use simple words and know a little English then you can give the machine words that won't be hard to translat. Here it is -4-degrees at night. There is is Spring time. Anywhere we can chant!     Such a gift.
The magic will not be done by me, nor you, nor any living being. The magic will be done by Krsna, when we become pure devotees of Krsna. - Srila Prabhupada!!
