URGENT - April Report
All glories to Srila Prabhupada's eternal sankirtana our only way forward.
Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj, please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances, we here in the center Nama hatha Huancayo - Peru.
25 rounds, trying to improve singing, two months the 4th strict principles, illicit sex is what we are always striving, sadhana regularly reading and singing S. B. 2.
One month I'm not distributing books but I have a strong desire in my heart to return as soon as possible to the streets, it'm preparing spiritually because it is a very special service for me. But we are in other services; helping to cultivate devotees in the Nama center hatha Nimai Nitai Huancayo, some days have been you singing rounds with two devout in Magala artik one he sleeps from one day to another and then read the SB, some days I cook for programs which they are Wednesday and Saturday and good for the vyasapuya Maharaj cooked in ekadasi p. Gadai gauranga; pizza cassava, rasagulas, candied peanuts, carrot and potato hallava with peanuts, I love cooking and also change their Lordships Jagannatha, Balaram and Subhadra once a week the cultural center.
A few days ago sprained I ankle when he ran as a wild goat, and well now I'm in recovery, nothing serious, hopefully one day be ready to return to krsna as soon as possible because this world is sometimes very frustrating for me to see so much pollution , famine, buildings, is so toxic see ugly things, but I have to try to help Srila Prabhupada in his sankirtana movement is the only thing that motivates me to be in this body, please forgive my pessimism.
On the other hand here are p. Adveita, P. rupa gosai strengthening preaching and cultivation of devotees, many new young people come to the cultural center and is inspiring.
Thank you very much for making me remember the texts 4 and 6 of the NOI, now better understand things.
I have some other questions please;
Is it important to have a menbresia ISKCON center for nama hatha?
We was given a linga siva. I OK if my stay and bathroom with silas?
If a devotee is restarted in another sampradaya. Is it possible to continue running programs preaches ?, and How is it that only a devotee with an irreproachable conduct can lead preaches programs and sit on the vyasasana?
we will try to connect with you. by joe yapa at 4:30 am, thanks for your valuable time and forgive me for still not understand some things I see in ISKCON, but I prefer to understand it within myself and not take to try to do justice with my hands, because you. always reminds us that only Krishna and Balaram kill demons, thank you very much.
Hare Krishna beloved Gurudeva, give me a getaway hope to see it in June.
and I hope the google translator say what you want to tell.

 
Nadiya Nivasi Dasi.
 
 
Todas las Glorias al sankirtana eterno de Srila Prabhupada nuestro único camino a seguir.
Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, porfavor acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias, nosotros aqui en el centro Nama hatha Huancayo - Perú.
25 rondas, tratando de mejorar el canto, 2 meses de cumplir 4 principios estrictos, el sexo ilicito es con lo que siempre estamos luchando, sadhana regular y lectura del S. B. canto 2.
Un mes que no estoy distribuyendo libros pero tengo el deseo intenso en mi corazon de volver lo más pronto posible a las calles, para ello estoy preparandome espiritualmente porque es un servicio muy especial para mi. Pero estamos en otros  servicios; ayudando a cultivar devotos en el centro nama hatha Nimai Nitay de Huancayo, algunos dias hemos estado cantando rondas con dos devotas en magala artik una de ellas se queda a dormir de un dia para otro y luego leemos el S. B., algunos dias cocino para los programas que son los miércoles y sábado y bueno para el vyasapuya de Maharaj cocinamos  en ekadasi con p. gadai gauranga; pizza de yuca, rasagulas, maní confitado, hallava de zanahoria y papa con maní, me gusta mucho cocinar y también cambiamos a sus señorías Jaganatha, balaram y subadra una vez por semana del centro cultural.
hace unos días me torcí el tobillo cuando corría como una cabra salvaje, y bueno ahora estoy en recuperación, nada grave, ojalá algún día esté preparada para volver con krsna lo más antes posible porque este mundo aveces es muy frustante para mí, ver tanta contaminación, hambruna, edificios, es tan tóxico ver cosas feas, pero tengo que tratar de ayudar a srila prabhupada en su movimiento de sankirtana es lo único que me motiva a estar en este cuerpo, porfavor perdone mi pesimismo.
Por otra parte aquí estan p. Adveita, P. rupa gosai fortaleciendo la predica y el cultivo de devotos, muchos jovenes nuevos llegan al centro cultural y es inspirador.
Muchas gracias por hacerme recordar los textos 4 y 6 del NOI, ahora entiendo mejor las cosas.
Tengo algunas otras preguntas porfavor;
¿Es importante tener una menbresía de Iskcon para un centro nama hatha?
Nos regalaron una siva linga ¿Está bien si me la quedo y las baño con las silas?
Si un devoto es reiniciado en otro sampradaya. ¿Es posible que siga dirigiendo programas de predica?, y ¿Cómo es que sólo un devoto con una conducta intachable pueda dirigir programas de predica y sentarse en la vyasasana?
vamos a tratar de conectarnos con Ud. por yapa joe a las 4:30 am, gracias por su valioso tiempo y perdone por todavia no entender algunas cosas que veo en iskcon, pero prefiero entenderlo en mi interior y no llevarlo a tratar de hacer justicia con mis manos, porque Ud. siempre nos hace recordar que sólo Krsna y balaram matan demonios, muchas gracias.
Hare Krsna querido Gurudeva, espero darme una escapadita para verlo en junio.
y espero que el traductor google diga lo que deseo decirle.
Nadiya Nivasi Dasi.
 
HPS ASA -- Hare Krsna. Yes, fight with the Witch. Love not lust.
What does -membrasa- mean?
No, better not worship the Shiva linga. It has a special history we have heard.
No, people from other Sampradayas are welcome to join our programs as guests and even make nice comments, but they should lead in their own Sampradaya.
Look in the SB, Canto One, Chapter One, where the sages offer Suta Goswami the Vyasa asana. Our words will always communicate our habits. We may talk about not smoking but of we smoke, then we will inspire people who hear us to smoke if we are doing it.
Write a story aboutas girl in the country just like you who meets a strange devotee.

I am hanging out with Madhumati dd ( Sankarshan das adhikari), she had already bought her ticket to India and her plan is to stay there..,, and no return anymore, she loves Vrindavan, she is a nice company and inspiration for me.

On Ramanavami I had to work from 2 to 9pm but at home earlier I did an offering to our deities.

When my father left i felt so so unprotected.... but lately I realized that I have SP 's, Krsna 's protection through U. Thank U Gurudeva, I feel protected.,,, so miscreants back off jeje

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my sincere humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

I can feel myself getting closer, much closer to initiation than I have so far in this life. I've moved into the temple, adjusted my work schedule to be present for entire morning program and SB class. I've become the treasurer for the brahmacari ashram here in Denver. I'm really excited and enthused for this seva. Set a timeline for receiving recomendation from TP Tushta Krishna Das Prabhu and Ashram Leader Vinoda Kovida Das. 

Since getting established I've found myself getting pulled away by the modes. Sleeping in and missing morning program, pulled around by other bodily desires for illicit sex and intoxication. Slowly taking some desperate measure by writing this letter to gear my association to where it should be. Just overall feelings of low confidence in my ability to take initiation seriously (though two weeks ago I was extremely confident). I want to be able to make my vows with all sincerity and confidence that I will refrain from breaking any regs or not completing my rounds. Truthfully I'm just feeling a bit broken hearted. I know what I should do. But I also have these stupid mundane desires that I listen to far too much. I know my mind is getting to a dangerous place because I've contemplated the 'one foot in, one foot out' situation where I'm being nonsense but still being attached to my service. Though I still know that is not actually doable, there is no middle ground. 

I've already purchased my ticked to have your association in Boise. I'm also hoping that Tushta Krishna will be in touch with you to request a visit here to Denver. I know your calendar said probably no other USA stops this year, but I'm praying that Krishna will arrange something. 

Your lowly aspiring servant,

Bhakta Adrian

HpS ASA - Yes. We fight with selfish desires. We want Krsna to be happy.

Are we making progress daily.

Yes, we got invitation to visit Denver from Sacisuta Das, but out just is not possible. We're in transit through Denver both ways but will kill us if we start traveling again.

Just Boise.

Make progress today. Don't take more service than you can do. Don't be lazy, HpS!

Hare Krishna Maharaja! PAMO AGTSP PP!

Quite some pain in my heart while writing you.
Just checked my account, 8 months I didn't post a letter.
Anyway don't mean this to be a sad one, rather a realistic one.


Well moved out of the Ashrama(Govinda'S) went a bit not too much distant from sydney's cbd. 1/2 hour.
Studying music, happy to see how I can easily apply it to kirtan and see how others and I can enjoy it. 

Was doing some rounds few weeks ago and it was really fulfilling and energizing doing it before school days so I wouldn't get too disturbed.
But really nothing firm at the moment in terms of rounds & sadhana/books reading a bit here and there. I Believe I just focused on my music so much 
that forgot about everything else basically. 
Went to Gaura Purnima+Aindras appearence day+ today I'm going to the Bhakti Club program at the uni . So my preaching is also a bit here and there. Sometimes though, discussing/explaining bhakti things to my friend Juan(from the Ashrama) is helpful/refreshing.
Nothing like the golden times tho.

Having a sanskrit name it'd be nice yea, but not enough inspiration to uplift my sadhana, feel like an old cow under the shade forced to walk on a very hot sunny day 300 km ! Spiritualy speaking, energy is great for 22. And yea I don't yet realise the intricacies of being here, just looking for more of this comfort, not wanting to scape to goloka dham. 

Really appreciate what you are doing and all the devotees of Iskcon around the globe.

well i wouldnt' even call myself your servant atm.

HpS - Hare Krsna!

AgtSP. Every one is so different. I can't tell really how you are doing too much from the news you sent. Has Maya captured important ground in our heart or our deviations just superficial?

We are playing around with Samsara, no? And if we get to far into it Krsna can't help us!

One more time around Piccadilly circus!

Fleas, worms living in out intestines... Focus on Prabhupada. Read the Krsna book to see what kind of taste we . Don't push too much artificially, get a higher taste, some intelligent renunciation is needed, no?

¡Haribol!

All Glories To Sri Sri Gour nitay!
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All Glories to you!! 

Hare Krsna dear Maharaj, how are you? I hope this find you in a very gooood health :) <img alt="laugh" height="22" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="22" />

Camila R. Chilean living in Buenos Aires, Arrrgentina. 22 years old. 

Firs of all i'm going to thank your answer to my previous letter, it was so nice, i felt very happy...so...THANK YOU

Everyday i'm trying to make friend with my japa, so the chant is less forced..and more natural...sing... sing and pray. We also are trying to put more love and dedication. 

I told you once that i'm with a devotee: Seva Kunja Das, disciple of Bhaktimarga Swami. In march he proposed to me..and we are going to get married! in September. I'm asking for your blessing in this stage...in which the two of us  will enter in the Grhasta Ashram. Without your blessings my heart will be broken...so...please, i need your blessings. 

On another subject,  I was doing service at the temple with Seva Kunja...I was helping him to cook for the deities, but the authorities won't let us doing more service, cause our condition of : not married. I was VERY sad, cause i loved that service, but if is Krsna Desire i will find another service to do for him at the temple. For now, we are serving our deities at home (photo) ; NITAYGAURA SUNDARA. This amazing and merciful form of the lord is developing so much love in my heart. 

I want to take initiation under your shelter..and under Srila Prabhupada's Shelter (firs of all) ..., i'm gonna make things right, and maybe some day be your spiritual daughter if you let me.  

Well, without nothing more to say, only my best wishes for the amazing service that you are doing for Srila Prabhupada's mission. And hoping that your health is always good and fine. 

HARE KRSNA! HARE RAMA! 

(The deites of the photo are the ones who are living in our place...NitayGoura Sundara) 

HPS ASA - Hare Krsna!

Thanks for your letter. We are old, so we always have health problems t they don't touch our soul! AgtSP!

Prabhupada got boys and girls married after a short time in New York. He said that they couldn't be members of the Society of they were living together and not married.

Of course we hope your marriage is a step in the right direction. One who does good is never overcome by evil!

Standard is 16-rounds and for principles. It is a show of our love for Krsna.

Thank you for your association. Make a lot of progress quickly!

hare krishna beloved and esteemed Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisnces,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Parama karuna Gaura Nitai brought huge blessings to our home!!

Mar del Plata Yatra is roaring!

Many things going on!! We are preparing a play for Rama Navami.

The ecologic house project is going on succesfully at Sri Govardhan, Hh Krishna Ksetra Swami saw it and said it is a kali yuga house out of garbage but he liked the concept.

The con about this is that withdrew energy and time for our spiritual practice so now we must finish what we started but huge realization that nothing is worthy besides a strong morning program and 16 good rounds.

We are struggling for this yet!! 

We feel sad and inspired because of Gunagrahi Swami/prabhu as well as all the situation at Mayapur Dham.

We feel proud of being part of ISKCON family and huge responsibility at the same time. 

Your guide is like a life guard in this ocean of faults of this material world. And we will try our best to help you help Srila Prabhupada!!

We are having good contact with Ambarish, Madhavendra and Rati manjari prabhus to coordinate your Sankirtan here in argentina.

You rock them all gurudev with your faultless character and your purity!!

What good quality do we have?

We are demon desguised as devotee!! Your mercy is unlimited to this fallen soul!!

Trying to serve you.

Nikunja Bihari Das.

HpS - ASA - Very interesting news. We are maybe two steps ahead of you in purification but Srila Prabhupada is on top of the hill guiding us out.

More news as it happens. Who else is prominent to you in your community? What do they do?

o.k. We Tweet and bathe now!

HARE KRSNA!
