Hare Krsna Gurudeva

All the Glories to Srila Prabhupada… please accept my respectful obeisances and forgive my offenses…

and my English s mistakes.

My 16 rounds need to improve but they are still there and my 4 principles can improve also… We have been avoiding sugar, flours and more products that are made outside, is so incredible to see some of the ingredients they use…The last few months I have done an extra effort to keep a good standard… in my mind, my daily routine, my duties, my acts, words…All Krsna does is good so everything is for my own improvement as a devotee, daughter, and as a disciple… I just have to give [put] my intelligence a [to] good use and of course I have to be a good listener. Still learning...  

This year is already finishing and time has flown so fast, I finished my English course like two weeks ago, I am supposed to be in advance level but the level in that institute is not so high (probably You have noticed it)  so  I will go on with my English studies in a better one.

HpS - ASA - Just one little mistake, so far. 

I have been thinking of [about the] future, I mean what I am going to study[,] and so far I just know what I like and I don’t know why is so difficult for me to decide… English is a sure thing[,] so I am focusing on this but  Bellas Artes and the  Conservatory would be awesome also,  and somehow I am going to  study in one of them now…  do not know yet which one..???. If life could be so simple why it gets difficult for me?...there [would not be is no] reason,[.] However… “I would like to travel to Vrindavan and stay there…If Sri Radhe Shyam want me to have a family, would be great! If not okaaay… I could worry about my own advancement, enjoy life in Krsnas consciousness and preach what I learn”… that’s my simple [suggestion]. But I need more from myself f I want to achieve that dream, so [it] is not available for me now. 

Well, I have great news also!... Your transcendental Vyasa Puja next year is on 11th January…the same day of [as] my birthday so I am so grateful with [to] Krsna for giving me the opportunity to take advantage of my birthday and do some service that day. So that’s all for now… Que el Señor Nrsimha Deva lo siga protegiendo ¡…espero que su salud física mejore. 

Su aspirante a sirvienta...

HpS - ASA ---  Thank you. AGTSP!!!   Paoho.   Only little corrections. The prepositional phrases are the hardest to get correct. In Spanish, "sueno con Krsna", but in English, "I dream of Krsna".

Thank you for the letter.

Yes, always look at the ingredients. Don't offer Krsna eggs etc!  Poisoning Gopal!       Also, in NOI its says, "visayera anna kaila...", if we eat grains cooked by a materialist, our minds become wicked!  Enthusiasm is more important than patience. Rukmini wrote a polite letter to Krsna about arranging Their marriage, but said She would be 'patient' if He did not accept Her. Of course, Her father was arranging Her marriage to a demon, so She could go around Him, but She showed the example of being enthusiastic to get a hold on someone She wanted as a partner.

Read NOI three with Grhastha ashrama in mind and write us your thoughts in the Blog.

Art and language see good. Communication is good, but look for good teachers more than a certain subject. Try different things. Try some history from good teachers, devotees (of God).

16-good rounds will make EVERYTHING go better. You can do five hours of study, but with 16-G*O*O*D rounds you will get better results in just 2-hours!  Try it?  Do the experiment.

Try different things. Try music. Try history. Try Library Science. Try music. Try lots of things. Try Drama, Acting. . .    Yes, there is no doubt that you should get married, but if Krsna doesn't arrange your marriage, through your family, then that means that He wants to marry you personally, very rare and very great.

So, chose your education to learn things that you can bring to Krsna, directly or through his representative.

Jaya.

Yes, I remember our birthdays were similar, but I thought yours was the 12th also.

See you in a few hours.

Thank you, all respects to your very venerable Brother, Mother, Father et al.

Hare Krishna, Maharaj

PAMHO agtsp.

Here we are
16 rounds of delay
And worse, with plans sense gratification; I just hope not to die on the road.

honestly it is not easy.

just keep the mentality and the sense of all this is admirable.
stepping over a lot of material limitations.
at least that is my experience.

in the middle of all this and that.

good we go ...

We direct our horse,
where devotees are.

Prabhupada said we must be positivist

...

yes, we have been thinking about it ...

we believe it may be the best for us.

otherwise we will be just a dirty pig forever.

well ... we feel that we are doing the best we can ...

It would be a great blessing

We expect the mercy of Lord Rama.

maybe for someone; I'm just a scoundrel.

humbly
Krishna bless him ...

Krishna Krishna krihna

We bought a new coat
a good pair of gloves
We are preparing our suitcase for the trip.

this is the best thing that could happen to me in life: Krishna consciousness.

Krishna Krishna ...

AGTSP ... !!!

also a little scary but better not think about that and move on.

I think I can not see you in Spain ... it's a shame.

but ... I think communication is good; humbly.

I'll write from London.

what else can I say…

We listen, Prabhupada every day.

well maybe this is part of our madness.

but humbly, we believe we are making progress.

Maybe it's a way; a little difficult.

but we fight,
with heart in hand and look at the eternal abode.

Poetry can be easy to mask.

but look at the facts, those do not lie.

Prabhupada is like a meteorite.

which created a crater in my head.

Prabhupada in San Francisco.

before; during and after-Prabhupada.

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna

to try to assimilate.

thank you very much for your support

It is like finding water in the middle of the desert.

It is not better, by our inability to appreciate.

HpS - Jorge of Norway???   Nobody signs their letters.  Yes, we want to see how the Manor Program goes. 1. Be a good citizen,  2. Find your crew,    3. Look for the cookies that Krsna leaves just for you.

<cite>the temple autorithies are happy with us, we do a lot of service:  clean services (maintain clean the temple, make everything ready for prasadam program, make laundry for devotees to have clean beds), i take care of tulsi (im very worry because she loosing a lot of  leaves i think is the cold weather but also she had a horrible plague for two months i always pray to Krishna and Nrisimhadeva to protect her... i dont want to see her dying <img alt="crying" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/cry_smile.png" title="crying" width="23" />)</cite>

<cite>HpS - ASA - One authority told me She likes 1. Association. Put Her in the Kitchen, 2. Warmth, if Her soil in cold She is NOT happy, 3. Sunlight, 4. Water. She can have none for some time and then get a lot. She's happy.</cite>

<cite>to survive right now im doing cakes for sell to the public, still service for Krishna is half for me half for the temple, in the future maybe i will have my own cake company (Bizcochos Ananda) what do you think about that?</cite>

HpS - Cook for Krsna. If there are remnants ditribute them and get donations, contributions.

<cite>Also i am doing lines to buy shoes and they pay me for doing that and finally all my family is doing the food for life program, specially my daughter, is good for her to have compassion for the fallen souls.</cite>

<cite>My daughter Ananda goes to the school is very close from the temple is a catholic school, they are very spiritual, my daughter likes a lot and she is retaking the studies. Sometimes i think the director going to call me because she is preaching a lot. She talks a lot about Krishna to the oter kids but everybody is very open minded about it.</cite>

<cite>Also my wife probably will take initiation with my dad they have a very good comunication and also very good relationship between guru and disciple. I think she has more love for Krishna than me. </cite>

<cite>I only pray to you to accept this falling soul that i am i dont have any good qualification or qualities, i am a rascal, everybody in kali yuga is a mleccha till you accept the mercy of guru and Krishna.  </cite>

HpS - Hey, where is the signature line. I know who you are but I have forgotten your name.

Very nice news. Go ahead. See what Krsna wants from you!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, por favor reciba mis humildes reverencias, nuevamente seguimos en la ciudad de Puno - Perú, haciendo Sankirtan y practicamente culminando la Maratón de diciembre 2015.

En mi carta anterior le mencione que en el mes de febrero del 2016 me iría a Huancayo, pero la realidad es algo que vengo pensando, SI IR  Ó   NO IR, pues mi interes es más seguir viajando y distribuyendo los libros de Srila Prabhupada, pienso que lo mejor que funciona es la distribución de libros y el ocupar a otros en SANKIRTAN, espero el proximo año ir a hacer Sankirtan a Brasil, Paraguay, Uruguay, espero poder viajar por esas zonas.

Mi esposa, madre Nadiya Nivasi Dasi, va a viajar a Chile con Madre Anadi Adi Govinda, hacer Sankirtan y para su Vyasa Puja, espero en un futuro más adelante ella pueda estar en un templo con madres y yo poder seguir viajando con devotos varones.

Por otro lado queria pedirle disculpas, pues a veces ó casi siempre especulo cuando usted nos da instrucciones ó nos aconseja, perdoneme.

Seguimos luchando para seguir cumpliendo los 4 principios, mi mente es muy lujuriosa, también seguimos leyendo el Srimad - Bhagavatam canto 1, cap.9 "La Muerte de Bhismadeva", Nityananda Caritamrta y Krsna Book por las noches. Mangal Artik 5 am, 16 rondas de Japa y un poquito más. Gaura Artik con Prabhu Percy, su sobrino Alejandro y madre Nadiya Nivasi.

Bueno Guru Maharaj, me despido, espero que su salud esté bien, yo sigo mejorando de a pocos, de  la gastritis. Un abrazo Hare Krsna!!!

HpS - ASA --- Aparece bastante bien, como vida de Vanaprastha, pero piensa un poco mas en como Nadia va ser bien situado tambien. Krsna va a compartir la inteligencia!

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

PAMHO.    All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 It was so wonderful to see you, learn from you and have your association in Richmond.  It really recharged my spiritual batteries… especially when you casually asked in a very serious tone “what is your position in Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s mission?”

Been trying to figure that out and since I can’t preach at work without stepping on toes, the best thing would be to go back to the college campuses. DC colleges all have bhakti clubs but no activity, so the goal is to get that up and going (unless you suggest something else!)

Been keeping up with readings and joined Subala Sakha Prabhu’s weekly conference calls (SB and BG) which keeps the mental energy stimulated. Also taking the BV College Disciple Course online as per Divyanam prabhu’s  recommendation.

I've been working on the ‘get-up-early-and-get-rounds-done”--- I still do rounds scattered throughout the day, but the bead bag does get heavier as the day goes on so with your mercy, I hope to be able to combat that and get.it.done.

At first I found it coincidental that all the questions I came to Richmond with, but didn’t ask, were  answered or talked about in your lectures. If that’s not paramatma speaking directly to me, I don’t know what is.  It definitely cleared out the "spiritual pipeline" for lack of a better word. As you always say “back to Godhead!”

 Everything is back to being God-centered. Not after career aspirations and nonsense, but still have some sense of ambition channeling towards sankirtan movement. I also hear you playing the flute a lot in my head...(random tidbit you should know?)

But just taking it one day at a time. Hoping to become a “formal refugee” soon and eventually qualify to serve you.  Definitely need to build a strong knowledgebase so I can preach forward so please bestow  your mercy upon me.

I pray that your health progresses and your projects are going successful.

humblest regards,

Sarita

HpS - ASA --- It was also very nice to see you.  DC clubs seem fine, but you can preach everwhere. You can display your effulgence, and your smile. Prabhupada says that these are two potencies of a purified soul and you can use them to attract people. Once they want to talk you can say,well my old Indian Grandpa used to say... and then cite Prabhupada!

"I am the taste in water, the light of the sun, fragrance of the earth."

Know your level, know there level, give the proper medicine.

All glories to Rai and kanai

All glories to Srila prabhupada

All glories to you Pamho Dear gm.

Sorry that I don't write ofthen,

ASA - You are like Clint Eastwood also, you don't talk much, but when you talk, your paint brush talks for you.  -[;o)

I try my best to get in fmp with my bad internet. This year was very good full on changes, thanks for your guidance we are following the 4 principles , japa but not much into the temple .....so much work to do, and the crowd its hard for us to deal means we have to develop more tolerance:) we go to other temple and parikram.

HpS - ASA --- Its a fact. It is nice during the afternoon when the Temple is closed to outside people, then at 4.30PM

By the time we are working in cow projects to protect the and regular basis (food and medicines). It's amazing how wonderful and mistreated they are of course in the streets. Also we joined the sublime foundation (its a NGO that is focused in to green transition and selsuficiency working together with Bliss in iskcon ) so if radharani allow us we will start preaching soon in a small level to create awareness about the situation in imfia.

And give easy and useful solution we are invited for ELS meetings its only one week. I want to ask you so may things but I will. ask when you come :0). By the way we spoke with prasanta mataji about any seminar that you could give so we need dates to arrange the programs, everything according to what you prefer to teach. I'm been lit bit sad because I'm leaving soon so I'm trying to keep my mind full busy even if I know I will take vraj with me.

HpS - Afects a lot!  Hmmm.  It can make you go mad.  Better to never leave Braja, just go disappear in the forest and die of exposure, than leave Braja, but....  if you don't go out, how will other people learn of the wonderful land of Vrndavan???  As long as you have any little thought of Braja while traveling outside, the Gopis can keep you on the remote control and you will be connected with Braja.

It's affects a lot, so I'm learning acupressure and biomagnetism to help other. It's not easy so much to study and I have memory deficiency. Please take care I heard your health its not good so I will try to look afther you from far maybe some reiki will be good if you allow me Ys Vraja bhandar Rcd

HpS - ASA - We are posting the details here in the Blog, but we arrive in Delhi roughly the 18th night and leave for Kolkatta the 21st morning. So I guess we will stay in Delhi or maybe squeeze in a trip to Vraja.

Later, the, 25th - 29th we will be in Braja!
