HpS - Hmmmm? Has ido a Peru. Estuvimos en contact en Peru un ano pasado??

hare krsna Maharaj,
Pamho, AGTSP,

Hope you have somewhat recovered from tirededness of Europe trip. I will try to be short.

HpS - Yes, AGTSP!!!!    I think we have, but the material energy is always exhausting, no?   Hope you will be long!

--thank you for much engaging in service, it does give us some good memories to think about in andh-kupam

-- i have got the recordings of conference in delhi, please tell me when we should give you that.

-- my wife is diagnosed with depression and OCD.
HpS - What is OCD (Opulent ??? Disease)?  Living with the head of a psychiatric hospital. Attending psychiatric conferences. We have to comment from the very beginning that everyone involved in the process seems to agree with Carl Jung's analysis that psychology in the West was only born this morning and all these diagnosis, though they may really help, must be taken with a plate of prasadam.

Major reason has been her in-laws and her husband. We have removed altar from our home (as that some become stimulus of discomfort to our wife). In march 2015 she threw all photograph of paramapara including yours and Krsnas, and gave it to trash-man.
In such cases we are very much fearful for any stimulus of stress.

HpS - Well I can see her being disturbed with our picture, but what did Krsna every do to cause her distress?

-- we get very much confused about illicit sex, because we get different opinions from you, and grhastha counsellor.

HpS - If s(he)it tells you that to fornicate for fun is O.K. then they are not Grhastha, they are Grhamedhis. Of course, we may not come to the natural standard immediately, and to force it artificially will cause other problems, but we should understand that as long as we are doing unnatural things we will suffer. Of course, Krsna will try to help us minimize the suffering. Indulging in illicit sex in a regulated fashion may be suggested by a Grhastha counselor but of course not encouraged or offered with any deception that you will not suffer, but your suffereing will be educational.

Our perspective, if one enjoy in youth beyond quota one suffers in old age (as simple)

HpS - It would be simple study to match up occurence of Alzheimer's disease with onset and intensity of unnatural sex.

-- we are chanting somehow, and hearing SP lectures on CC (no book reading )

-- we don't KNOW why you are so merciful on person (who is from sinful background, whose associated hover over mental platform). you must have  divine eyes to see us as part and parcel of Krsna.

HpS - Hey, I would say that you are continuing to try to get real mercy from Prabhupada, not because you are so much sincere, although I think you are a very sincere person, but rather because you executed sincere service in a previous life and so now you KNOW that this is the bona fide path. Look up "super cooled liquid" on the internet?  Are you becoming a super cooled liquid.

BLLLLOOOOOP!   One day your whole life changes in a moment.

It comes down to the same thing. I don't live with you enough to give my opinion whether you are crazy or you wife is crazy or your inlaws are crazy or your psychologist is crazy, but when we are together you don't seem to be anymore crazy than we are. The only way to get good evaluation of this is to have sane friends. Work toward good association of any kind. It is even worth risking economic situation to get good friends, no?

We have been in contact with Prof. Samaresh. He went home with blood pressure super high but is recovering. So many good comments on the book and it's release. We are just getting our feet on the ground (with your help, write often) and trying to get priorities for Sankirtan sorted out.
 

We can not control our mind. in our passionate state, we even started instructing you ( remember the MS word instance, (No, so we proabably didn't take it as anything unnatural (certified UC Davis Psychology Department instruction: everyone in this world is a little crazy)) I think its best for us to die young on some battle ground, following some Brahamana.

HpS - Well as long as you are following a Brahmana, live or die it is all good.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva, pamho, Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

I hope that you are well and that you will have a very good trip . May Lord Nrsimhadeva protect you in all directions.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!   paoho....  We answered another letter on the same topic while we were traveling, no?   Now we can get to this one. We are very busy in Tennessee but at least not traveling every few days!

I continued editing ( slowly) the videos of the NIOS tour 2015. I upload 2 of them for you to see them before I publish. If you wish you can tell us your opinion so we can improve them.

HpS - AGTSP   paoho.  We will look at them tonight when we are at NGD's house. We don't have a good enough connection to watch them from our ASA Office. Thank you.

The image quality is not good as the original video, later I'll fix that.

The full conference at the National Library of Chile is also finished but I could not upload it yet. We will do it soon from better internet connection.

HpS - So much of our effort in these Jung's things was based upon starting a dialog with our contacts in Peru. A little bit happened but now it is like 97% stopped.  We are very much re-evaluating our educational efforts. Our Sankirtan has to go on in the association of devotees. With whom do we share our passions for preaching? Srila Prabhupada? Others?   Without Sankirtan everything else has no motivation, especially in the Kali yuga!

Talking about me, I'm not having a good time. The four principles are ok, but finish with the 16 rounds is 10 times harder than before. I do not feel connection with the holy name ... I'm not going beyond the surface and I can not reach deep introspection.  And I feel stupid and lazy because I know what I have to do to improve things ... but  I fail.

Last night I dreamed  that you phoned us and when I answered I heard you chanting japa. So I thought _ah! is FMP´s  time! And I woke up just before the alarm in time to go to Start Meeting.

Muchas Gracias Gurudeva.

P/D: I attached some pictures from the construction of the asram.
My father came a few days with his truck to help us. We collect stones from the way enough to make the foundation.

HpS - Yes, is very, very nice to see your names in the list each morning.

Text 7  and 8 of NoI talk in detail about this level of chanting, service.

Sometimes we have no Karma-yoga motivation, so we don't chant serve, because it is not our 'nature'. This was Arjuna's situation, no?  He could not walk away from the fight. His karma was there. So, his yoga had to be there. In Chapter Six, Yoga ladder verse (?) Prabhupada says that in the beginning we are attracted to a certain kind of service, but later we fall in love with Krsna. So, if we can come to the Jnana-yoga level that is more secure than the Karma-yoga level. Then I can serve because I understand this is Krsna's desire, even if I don't feel it 'karma'. Of course, that kind of yoga will gradually give you a taste that goes beyond being a girl. You will become a sexless philosopher.
That is interesting thing for Grhastha ashram or even being someone's "daughter".
"My daughter is a sexless, intellectual", but as it goes on that Jnana-yoga enriches our Karma-yoga and then we become a sweet, philosophical wife and daughter. In he beginning there is natually a little tendency toward impersonalism.

Super fotos!  Become the Prince and Princess of your District.

All Glories to Sri Sri Gauranga Nitiananda.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All Glories to you!
All Glories to devotees.

Please accept my most humble obeisances to your lotus feet.

HpS - ASA - Potato feet. AGTSP!

Dear Gurudeva, I'm Rati Manjari DD, you remember me? jijiji xD

ASA - The second most famous person in Argentina, no?

Hope your health is good!!!!

ASA - At 67-years USA we can really see that 9-more years for this body is a practical and esoteric estimate. Teeth, memory, vision, hearing going, but experience and intelligence increasing. Gotta get ready for service without a gross body, and you?

Gurudev my Japa improve, I can complete it and keep, following 4 principles but my consciousness is so material.
Gurudev we have gave the course of the spiritual scientist which is based on the small books of Srila Prabhupada and give the information of content in a nice and easy way, when we finish to gave the class the students stay in the class room making more and more questions! I am really grateful about that, I can understand how Prabhupadas message can change the life of people. It encourage me a lot!

ASA - \'0'/  Jaya....    ....   You can't do that if you have very material consciousness. Must have only moderately material conscioiusness.

Gurudev in our last godbrothers meeting we talk about keep connected with your preach line, we have debate about which one of yours principal items is more interesting for each one of us, to start to make study groups, it's a initial idea, but I hope we together can make a work team to keep your crops alive during the time you're not in the country and develop compromise and good contacts for get the better places for you.

ASA - Our preaching line is what Prabhupada and the Parampara sends us through different sources. Every sales man has his own technique.

In Bhakti Sastri we have some questions to make to you, can u help us please?

1- ¿How the Maha-Mantra has made accesible for all? We was talking about in the first moment was a secret mantra. ¿Was Caitanya who change the order of the words to make reachable for all?
ASA - We have heard about this in different ways but never read it in any of Prabhupada's books or lectures, letters, even from devotees who heard it from Prabhupada.
P'pada cites the Maha-mantra from the Kalisantara Upanisad. The wikipedia says that it is one of the Upanisads from the Black Yajur Veda. That is about all I know. 

2- The "rasa" of each entity is always the same? Or can evolve? - We always are "the same" and we discover? Or when we obtain prema, Krsna give it to us?
ASA - In NOI the verse 'nitya-siddha krsna prema..." is cited. Look it up and see where it is spoken and then read that section. Send us your thoughts!

 Thank u!

 More questions:

3- You have some estimeed date to visit our Yatra.

ASA - Seems 12 August to 7 September in Peru. Then January in Chile, maybe Argentina then. We would like to live there.

4 - Mangala Arati: the time to make it, the only way is doing it at 4.30am?  can do it at 5.3 or 6.00 this option is possible?

ASA - In NOI Srila Prabhupada says like, up by 4AM and Mangala arati, but in Krsna book he says that we should chant HK during the Brahma-muhurta. So seems we should have Mangal-arati during the Brahma muhurta. Look for Muhurtas on the Wikipedia and tell us your results!

5- GM one devotee make my astrological chart, and told about this is a good time to travel, based on that and my wish to travel, I  decide to go to India next year when you will be there, you agree? What you think about that? I need your blessings.

ASA - I think we will go there after Chile for like three months.

We start again with the congress and visit issues. ;)

Gurudeva please bless me to understand Krishna Consciousness, bless me for understand Prabhupada's mission and for be a tool in your service.  Sorry for my long letter, thanks for your valuable time. The world would be devastating for me if you were not in it.

Who always want to stay by your side. Your practicant of disciple.
Rati Manjari Devi Dasi.

ASA - Monkey and Piggy are still using the pencil bag that you gave us. Whenever we see it we think of you, the second most intelligent person in Argentina!!

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaja, Pamho,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and you!

I hope you're well and your sankirtan for Srila Prabhupada is going fine.

2:38 in the morning. Rounds almost done. Best ones before mangalartik.

I'm very excited and happy. Yesterday, Panihati festival was great. Then we went to the city and chanted for 2 hours,

I'm sorry I didn't write before. I'm helping again in temple administration. I'll be secretary for a while until they find another one. I hope soon, cause my main service is education. Now, I'm teaching 3 courses and studying 2. Giving class in the temple, etc. My health still needs improvement, but I feel great inside.

HpS - ASA ---  AGTSP paoho....    We are so happy to hear from you.   We all thought you might have been eaten by the great snake of time. Your Sadhana sounds enviable!

NIMSAR Congress for August is taking shape. Many details giving by our fine secretary Gandharva Prabhu.

We need to get together soon to talk about your participation in the Congress. We need your kindly help to invite people to participate with us in this great experience. We already talked to Mathuresh Prabhu and Baladeva Prabhu. They are very excited about their participation, other people as well.

ASA - Because of the one month of travel we did not read his Reports. It seems we should read them all today.

We need to talk about your peruvian tour also in order to allow us to help you a little bit.

It's a great honor working with you and other fine devotees like NIMSAR People and others.

Thank you very much for your advice and mercy to your humble (no much) servant

Laksmana-agraja das.

ASA - But you wanted to fix a time for a meeting, no????    We heard from Daffy Duck that you were considering Wednesday morning. Is that correct?  Seems good for us. Shall we include others, like Swami Sattva???  Who else wants to join?   ASA is a Funcional Family (Ie. nobody is in jail and everybody is talking to everybody else).

 Dear Guru Maharaj

please accept my respectfull obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupad 

First of all I apologize for not writing before, when we recieved your mail we had just arrived in the Hong Kong temple, the devotees there where very kind and they infomed us about Sun Wo Kong, the Chinesse Hanuman. Thank you for always showing us how to connect everything with Lord  Krishna  Lord Rama Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Their pastimes ans devotees, by your personal example of how to alway remember Krishna and never forget Him.

HpS - AGTSP!!!!     We apologize for not answering sooner. This letter arrived just before we left for India and Europe so we are only seeing it now. It seems exciting.

Right now we are in Beijing, my husband is working on some artistic presentations with a new devotee here, she is a singer, she met the devotees a few months ago, and came to Mayapur where we were introduced. Li Xin was very atracted by HH Krishna-sketra Maharaj, and  he suggested that we combine forces and prepare a concert on the Bagavad Gita and the Sri Isopanishad, for November-December, so we are here for that purpose now,  Li Xin also want me to dance for that program also. We had 3 presentation last month, the public is very receptive, we hope that it can continues this way, without the authorities realizing that we are presenting KC. There are many devotees here who are very kind, we see them 2 times a week and Premarasarnava pr gives them Mridanga lessons, they have a kirtan group and they perform in local theaters, we cannot go with them because of the political situation, but they are very happy and enthusiastic, Kirtan is being given to the masses, and this gives them life.  

We are also both helping Ananta Sarovara Mataji, with some transliteration work for Garga Samhita, canto 7, when she agreed to teach me , she said that she would help me for our help in return so this is the deal, she is translating for Danavir Goswami and we just help her with the tranlitaration and the word for word, it is a very sweet service we both fell very happy to have been given this as a method to study Sanskrit. About little Madhu-mangal and Aditi, we are stuck on the 5th verse of NOI. What should we do? wait untill everything is done and then send it to you or send you the chapters as they come along? Or send them to some devotees for proff reading and feedback? We did not hear from Prana pr yet, he must be busy. You asked about our Plan to go to Argentina, we are not fixed on anything yet, but we where thinking of going there after December, I have not met Premarasarnava pr's parent yet and they miss him a lot. The devotees in the temple keep asking him when he will return. 

 I hope that you are well and that  your trip to India is smooth, I feel very sorry that we wont be able to meet this time. Thank you Guru Maharaj for all your suport and inspiration, praying to always remain in your service your daughter Sukanya Sita dd. 

HpS - AGTSP.... Please chant Hare Krsna and be happy!   Please send what ever Sanskrit study material you have as soon as you can. Post it here in installments.  Yes, Prana is very busy.   We will go to Chile in January, maybe December.   We are just looking for people with whom we can engage in dialog about Srila Prabhupada's books.
When we were in Madrid we found maybe the last Spanish translation of Journey to the West and captured it for Miguel Polo in Lima. More news.
