Gurudeva, before i start, i have to admit that i am a big stupid rascal

HpS - ASA -- You also!

.... last two months have been really my own produced hell. i got an hernia on the belly button, i dont want to submit myself to a surgery so im doing alternative therapies... also, after you left Mexico i got separated from Sri Radha, this time is deffinetly, it has been two months now, i still missing having her support, still we could not keep standing that relationship... now i want to apologyze unto you for having promised to be a good husband and to take care of her, not knowing i was not able to fulfill that promise. i got a good job in Leon city but never showed up to sign the contract because i was depressed and didnt wanted to live at that city, i was doing it only because of the relationship. Also i missed the dates to sign up for Sociology at te UNAM university, now i will have to wait another half year, again didnt check the dates because of my depressed mind... i came to live at Cueramaro, but didn't liked it either; even though im very grateful to the devotees that helped me to come here, im now speaking to my older brother, maybe he can get me a job at the town ( Cuernavaca, where my family lives) also im speaking with my dad, same story with him, getting a job and being near to him, whatever shows to be a better option. I think i want to save laxmi so i can travel to another country, maybe start my life somewhere else...

PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR BLESSINGS SO I DONT BECOME COMPLETELY STUPID.
your not worthy disciple

HpS - Boom!  The witch and here mace!    Get up early and get your rounds done (well).  Then your job, career, family, body, sankirtan, will all become auspicious. How to do that? Use your intelligence to solve the problem. Ony you can do it. You have intelligence for job, school etc, so use it for this problem. Get up early and get your rounds done. Then you will be good friend to EVERYBODY.
O.K. We wait to hear news on this war!

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gourang Mahaprabhu

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Ki Jay

Dandavat Pranam

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji's padmacharan that  I had read Guruji's letter with asirbad and informed to all bhaktas and matagis. Now, I am reading the book "Maya : The Divine energy of the Supreme" written by Bhakti Purusattam Swami. Before this book I had read Shree Shree Premacandrka of Nartotam Thakur Pranit translated in to Manipur by S. Gouramani Sharma. In this book the three characters of Shri Lokanath Goswami, Shri Nivas Acharya and  Shyamananda Prabhu. The bhakti marga darshan of prabhu Narotam Das. This book is realy a book of  bhakti seva of Krsna. It is very helpful to me.

HpS - Yes!  Prema Chandrika. I think Gaura Kishora Das Babaji also recomended it very much.

Again, Maya, this book discussed the internal energy of Krsna. It is a difficult points discuss in this book. Now, it is just begining, so after completion some more idea will develop.

From time to time, please advice us to increase our spiritual knowledge.

HpS - By what time are you getting most or all of your rounds done? Are you going to Imphal or Thoubal temple?   Are you having programs in you home?  Do you do arati in your home? Make the whole Manipuri State Krsna conscious.

Yours fallen servant

 Hare Krshna Maharaja: 

Por Favor Acepte mis respetuosas reverencias!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Estoy aquí tratando de luchar con el tiempo, trabajo, familia, pero felizmente cantando mis 16 rondas y con mucho servicio, aun no encontramos un buen local para el templo en Arequipa así que hacemos nuestros programas en casa de mi mama (madre Ramalila DD), goura-arati de lunes a viernes, programa principal los sábados y mangala-arati  los domingos. Estoy tratando de hacer los arreglos para hacer mangala-arati mas seguido.

HpS - ASA --- Super!     SUPER!     S U P E R !  Va a ser un buen resultado.

Mi hermana Lila Mandali dd y Nilacala Candra Prabhu regresaron a Arequipa. Toda la familia está muy feliz porque nos van apoyar mucho en nuestro servicio con la predica.

HpS - Saludos a ellos. Tiene hijos, no?

Le envió unas fotos de mi boda, muchas gracias por su misericordia

A su servicio

Rukmini Devi

HpS - Siempre recordando que Bh. Vinode Th. dijo, el proposito de Grhastha Ashrama es para prepara para Vanaprastha y Sannyasi y volver un muy hermos aldea en un gran bosque donde todo el mundo estaba esperando para vd.

Hare Krishna Guru Mahraj,

Please accept my most humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!  All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga!

It was so nice to read about your time in India. Radha Padmini and Kish sent pictures from Mayapur. I was elated to read the South Indian yatra with NIOS went well!

 I’ve been keeping up with your updates and posts of my godbrothers/sisters and felt compelled to write to you after some time... Your response on their questions has also shed some light in my ignorant state of mind.

Nothing new or exciting has happened. My Japa is getting stale actually. I sometimes switch to a finger clicker when in public places (like when riding on the metro in DC –which is now sadly emanating Trump's energy. Could chanting on that vs. Tulsi affect the potency?)… Also frantically attempting to wake up during Brahma Murat to chant effectively. *please send blessings so it becomes a habit!*

Things are a tad chaotic (for one, because I over think)…and two –it’s time for a change. My cap for growth at work currently is stagnant- no promotions, no more learning, no growth… I’ve been applying my energy to look for more job opportunities. I have filled out maybe 200+ applications in DC area  (no bites) and now trying my luck in New York City as well. (I visited for a weekend during Presidents day weekend and just felt so much mercy there. It's fast-paced but there's Sanga events almost every day of the week! So much association!)

Since the application- response isn’t strong- I’m thinking of taking some boot camp courses to gain some credentials that make me more marketable. It’s like months of info condensed into a week’s worth of classes. They’re really expensive (like 2000 per class and then the test and books are extra...) and since IT is so broad- I’m struggling to find the right path to investing in (ie. servers, cloud, applications, security, database…it’s all that I think about lately) Everyone says 'which do you enjoy more' and its all similar to me. I'm already "settling" with IT as a profession so it doesn't make a difference to follow which Im "passionate" about. Like who wakes up and says " Oh Boy I can't wait to manage databases today or backup servers !?" My stomach is uneasy due to the stress it seems. On a kichari diet to cope with it.

As far as outreach- I’ve been helping a local group with sankirtan at local yoga studios on weekends. We did a few workshops on kirtan and chanting (felt just like college with the bhakti yoga club again ^_^) and then I  tried to set up an event at the temple but it wasn’t as successful as I’d hoped. There’s a lot of hand-holding that newcomers require which I don’t think I’m best suited for since I'm out of practice. But will try to be more engaging in sankirtan- maybe old school kirtan and book distribution.

That’s about it as far as updates. I hope you’re having a beautiful time with SS Radha NilaMadav <3 Please pardon the petty struggles that I waste your time with. Please keep me engaged and thank you for your mercy.

Your attempting servant,

Sugopi Dd

P.S. On Valentines my parents and  I watched this Telugu movie called Om Namo Venkatasya. I never was exposed to this incarnation of Visnu but am slowly developing a love for His form... it was a very nice devotional film. Based on the story of Hathiram Babaji. 

HpS - Nice to hear from you. Join us on-line for FMP - 5.30AM New York time. Mangala arati - NOD in Spanish and 30-minutes Japa/chat.   www.startmeeting.com, Meeting # 992 055 489.

Ideal material career, Dharma, with a female vehicle is to get married, right!  Pray to God to send a decent (we are not expecting Kardama Muni) Dude and then life is simple. You help him in his career (maybe he will become President of the United States).
If that does not work out, and even if it does, then ask Radharani if she'll share Krsna with you. 16109 Princesses married to Krsna.

That means having your Deities and worshiping them.    Hmmm?    Of course, no harm developing occupational skills. You can use them in marriage also. Talk to a lot of people about career paths.

If you get up early and get your rounds done well, then Krsna can so the MAGIC! (We are struggling with this also).

Have you seen this? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXFq_X6AdCM

When we checked in to Delhi we did not get an upgrade to 1st Class, but we got a seat with a little more leg room.  Thank your friend!

Respects to your father and Family!!

Yeah, the clicker is not as good.

All Glory to Srila Prabhupad and All Glory to the Sankirtan movement

Please accept my humbles obeisances
