Querido Guru Maharaja

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias 

Ahora por su misericordia estoy en otra maratón de sankirtan por colombia también hicimos algo del sankirtan para el Sr Jagannatha en Panamá. No tengo como agradecele  todo lo que hace por mi querido Gurudeva, gracias por estas experiencias tan increíbles en el baile de sankirtan que rafirman mi fe por Ud.

Nunca lo siento lejos Gurudeva,  es Ud mi razón de seguir y pienso siempre en ayudar con su misión de predica.

Me levanto temprano y canto las rondas mínimas que le prometí antes de salir a sankirtan, recuerdo mucho cuando me dijo que si no lo hacía todo el sacrificio de sankirtan sólo era pa ser como Daksha xD.

Gracias por dejame ser uno de sus monkeys <img alt="blush" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/embarrassed_smile.png" title="blush" width="23" />

Aca le dejo la Foto.

HpS-ASA -- Very nice, these bodies are just like cellphones. Even if the outside shows nice pictures for Krsna the inside is machinery.

¡Hare Krishna!
Todas las glorias para Srila Prabhupada
Todas las glorias para Sri Sri Nitay Gauranga

Espero que se encuentre muy bien, esta vez le escribo para comentarle que seguimos distribuyendo los libros de Srila Prabhupada, algunas personas que hemos invitado se han acercado al templo a conocer y les ha gustado mucho. Para intentar mejorar este servicio, nos estan ayudando algunos devotos y devotas mayores para continuar con la predica y para que puedan sentirse comodos y atraídos. Garga Acarya Das y su esposa siempre nos estan ayudando y motivando aún más para que esto siga adelante, además de guiarnos con su ejemplo.

Quería comentarle una breve historia que nos sucedió exactamente distribuyendo libros... hace aproximadamente 2 meses conocimos a una mujer que se llevó "en el camino a krishna", estuvimos predicando durante 30 minutos ya que estaba muy interesada, le pedimos sus datos y mantuvimos el contacto por mail. después de algunos días se acercó al templo y asistió a las clases, le presentamos algunas devotas para que hiciera amistad, y con el paso de los días nos comentó algo que recordó.. cuando ella era pequeña, como a la edad de 12 años, le habían regalado el libro "la vida proviene de la vida" de Srila Prabhupada, lo había leído y había entendído un poco pero no sabía como pronunciar el nombre del autor del libro. esto se le manifestó en un sueño, y después de eso emprendió el proceso muy entusiastamente. actualmente ha leído un par de libros pequeños, la ciencia de la autorrealización, el upadesamrta y el bhagavad gita. además esta ayudando un día en la cocina lavando las parafernalias. todo esto nos tiene muy contentos y motivados para salir a distribuir libros e intentar encontrar mas devotos y devotas, aunque como siempre habran dificultades, sabemos que este servicio nos esta limpiando de lo que nos aleja de Sri Krishna.

Por otra parte, hace 2 días llegamos de un sankirtana viajero de 3 días por rancagua, un poco al sur de chile, estuvo muy lindo, bastante austero y dificil pero siempre krishna nos hace apegarnos a él de alguna manera...

Además quería pedirle que por favor me comente algo que pueda hacer desde mi condición neófita para intentar complacerlo, y así motivarme un poco más en este eterno proceso...

P.d: madre Guru Govinda Devi Dasi me pidió que le comentara sobre unas cartas del bhagavad gita que usted le bendijo, por lo que pidió si es que usted puede darle un nombre a ese servicio, ya que lo hemos estado haciendo con varios devotos y devotas jovenes, y nos sirve para trabajar en torno a 1 verso por semana. y me dijo que le dijera esto: "queremos convertirnos en devotos puros"...

HpS ..-.. No entiendo esta???


Su aspirante a sirviente, bhakta martin

HpS - Yo estoy feliz recibir cartas de esta tipo. Solamente estamos intentando compartir con la gente lo que necesitan.

 All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! Please accept my humble obeisances.

Dear Gurudeva

its me Trivikrama das i am much better from my fracture  but still can't make any service in fact i have not cook for the Sri goura nitai either , but i had the chance to help in other areas. Recently finish the disciple course ,now we are waiting the result of the evaluation , it was very inspiring i felt that studying or training myself as a devotee make me a better disciple for you ,i want to find the way to study Bhakti sastri i am a donkey and the virtual classes makes it hard for me so i would try to accomplish.

i still have my plans for kartik 2017 to go to India but always and only if i got your blessings

 i chant 16 rounds and follow the 4 principles

this is my report

your eternal servant Trivikrama das

HpS - Very nice. How is your family? Can you go to India with some experienced devotees. Use your tongue. Out is not broken. Ha. Ha. Hare!

Hare Krsna Maharaja.

I hope you are fine in all respects. I remember a lot about you.

Thank you for everything you do, I look at the blog as twice daily

For me, it's like watching the mail away from home.

Tulasi forest continues to grow, I am very happy. Yesterday I used the first leaf in an offering…it´s dry alone.

I've had good and bad days. I can hardly be aware of Krsna, in every thing, every moment, in every action, but lately, when I'm fine, I feel as if I started being aware of Krsna for the first time in my life. I have always believed I had many accomplishments, and ultimately begin to seem like an illusion.

I think I could never make a conscious action of Krsna, because I have never been free to choose, and every day this is changing a lot, or I think, thanks to the saintly devotees and Krsna's mercy. It's like open arms, and had a door in each hand, the world of Krsna, or the material world.

I imagine that sooner or later I soured, hopefully not, but I want to thank the Parampara, starting with you, not abandon a poor fool like me.

How I can keep this "yellow brick road" without deviation?

A big hello, Hare Krsna.

P.D .: I'll try to send you a cookie recipe.

Yours, Budanath das.

HpS-ASA - Hare Krsna. AGTSP. Keep association with devotees and follow the relative principles of hearing and chanting.

O.K?

simple "cookie or something similar" recipe [con't - part 2]

This is a continuation to the previus letter found here:

hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/6612
~~~
ASA - Can you mail them? Do they keep well for long time with warm weather?
ND : Hmmm... I believe mailing is possible. For example in the box.
         As for  keeping them for long during warm weather, I would say that is not possible. Of course, what is meant by "long time" and "warm weather". Considering south European territory, I would say these sweets can could keep 2-3 days in max. summer temperature and much longer during winter season. In our humble abode, they got eatan in max. 4 days.

ASA - This recipe is good then, but for Cookie Central, it will not work so good, because we want a cookie or cracker that will last like Mayapura Prasada to travel for weeks and still be worshipable.

How is your family?
Than you for asking Guru Maharaja <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />   As for my parents, when I ask them the same question, they reply with "excelent, fine, good" and if have some bodily pain then they add news about that. Considering that they are 80 years old, lived in 3 countries and throught 2 wars, they are quiet OK.  They do not talk about or show any religious / spiritual inclination. TV is their friend and guru. 
Nirgata is doing fine. Trying to develop her job as a Iyengar Yoga teacher. We listen to classes online (by different devotees from around the world) together and then discuss what we heard by sharing our thoughts and realizations.

That would be one aspect of the family <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" /> Then there is the aspect of ISKCON family and (should I say more important) our Supreme Father's family. I wanted to add this thought here, but will not discuss it for the reason of the size of the letter.
~~~

Guru Maharaja, if you allow, can I ask you why in the DTC 6(Fr) you wrote "4-principles strictly (chocolate???)" ? What is the connection of 4 principles to the chocolate? And, if it is in connection to the topic, when you say "chocolate", do you mean cocoa or a product that has cocoa in itself and is sold by the name chocolate?

HpS - We have seen an exchange of letters from Prabhupada about Chocolate. It seems similar to onions. They bother contain theo-bromides as far as we understand. So, they stimulate lower chakras. This can be source of good energy under certain circumstances, but usually we want mode of goodness. I read that Prabhupada said that Grhasthas could take some, but it could not be offered to the Deity. GBC banned it, then canceled there ban. So seems, that under certain circumstances it maybe O.K.    Urad dahl is more acceptable but also not for regular diet.   Any cocoa product.
O.K?

Thank you!
Your servant Namacarya Das
