Hare Krishna Gurudeva
Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I am writing to thank you for your asociation during this time. You taught through many details, so many that it is sometimes difficult to remember them all. Anyway, I will try to be Gandharva dasa with enthusiasm someday, I thank you for your great kindness to me.
I would ask permission to worship Jagannatha Baladeva Subhadra at home. My wife and I have much affection for them, since the beginning of our devotional life. It has presented an opportunity to have this home deities and I wonder if you allow us to worship them.

I trully hope  this year it's magnificent for your preaching,  Gurudeva

With love

Your  servant

Gandharva das

HpS - Thank you for all of your help. It was worth thousands of dollars.... Yes, it is very nice for you to start worshipping, J-B-S!!!  Ask Gaura-gadadhara Dasi for details, no?
Send us more news and the questions that you have for your spiritual advancement.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva !!! My humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you.

The reason for my letter is to inform you that since more than half a year I met a person from Mexico and after all these months He asked me to marry.
He did not know about the devotees but through me and interne He got to know a little about Krsna consciousness, sankirtan movement

It is a humble and religious person, he says he'll eat what I eat and try to learn about the movement, so it is my desire to share my life with him.
I will be Lying if I say that I'm not afraid that he is not a devotee I can only trust that Krsna help me or give appropriate words so that he may understand and get involved day by day.

The idea we have is this summer (maybe a little earlier), move to Mexico because he already has prepared almost everything so I can travel. He is an engineer and have his projects there so that's why we decided it would be better if I move to mexico, due to  I can continue my studies without any problem.

We want to do things right so we will prepare a civil wedding ceremony and later the fire ceremony. (I would like the ceremony coincides with one of your trips to Mexico).

I take this opportunity to tell you that I am fixed on  4 principles  and 16 rounds too, like mangal aratik like 5 times a week and Caitanya caritamrta reading as you recommended me in the mornings.
Gurudeva please I would like to have  your opinion or advice, and humbly ask for your blessing that is most important to me.
thank you very much for your time
And thanks to  mother candra Mukhi for helping me 
Your eternal servant

HpS - Esteemed XXX. Thank you for your letter. If you are chanting rounds and following principles and have nice spiritual life in each morning (mangala arati, kirtan, SB...) then it will all be O.K. It may not work out super. He may discover that he cannot move as fast as he thought, but you have to stick to your basic principles or it will all turn into a great hell with very little results at the end of this life. Then another life...  <img alt="sad" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/sad_smile.png" title="sad" width="23" />

Talk with many others. TALK with his friends and family.

HpS - ASA --- Thank you!   You should maybe stick with the BhVai studies if you can get a local team to join you. Maybe you should start over with Nikunja. We hope Mr. Manu and Mr. Benjamin et al become your good friends.

Todas las glorias a srila prabhupada

Todas las glorias a sri Nitay  Gouranga

Todas las glorias a sri  gurudev

Reciba usted mis humildes reverencias por favor

Querido Gurudeva, deseo contarle hacerca de mi sadhana realmente estoy peleando con un gran anartha para poder levantarme temprano y cantar 16 BUENAS rondas la perseverancia espero nos ayude a ser fijas en ello . por otro lado nuestras rondas estan bien cumplimos con ellas de manera fija aun que en ocasiones se ajustan a las circunstancias, con nuestros 4 principios ahora somos mas estrictas que antes. resulta ser que krsna es muy bondadoso con nosotros tanto para mi mama como conmigo.

Gracias a la misericordia de krsna, suya y de los devotos me dieron el servicio de pintar a las deidades del templo por lo cual estoy muy feliz tambien estoy orando para que krsna me permita ser su instrumento y sirviente sumiso para lograr pintar a las deidades de manera que expresen total dulzura y amor. Cuando el servicio este terminado le enviare fotografias de las deidades; son jaganath baladev y subadra , gouranga y nitay , laksmi nrshimha.

En verdad antes de pintarlas me gustaria recibir su autorisacion sin enbargo los devotos me digeron que  pintara a las deidades antes de gourapurnima y eso es en dos semanas debido al trabajo y a la universidad no me queda mucho tiempo. por favor gurudev disculpe cualquier ofensa que haya cometido a sus pies de loto.

eternamente su sirviente apsara gopi dd

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. We certainly give any blessing we can for painting Them! If the time is too short to do a good job for all of Them, then do some first.

Of course, if you put your rounds and principles and morning program in second place Them that will damage your painting.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

HpS -Thank you. Is just the same for us. Your news is inspiring for all of us~

Dear Hanumat Presaka Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

My name is Eric, I'm a brahmacari in Los Angeles. I very much appreciated hearing from you at the Q&A booth at the SF Rathayatra this past year and I was wondering if and when you plan to return to the western United States?

My situation is that I've been aspiring to take diksha initiation from a senior Vaisnava who has not yet agreed to accept disciples. I've been waiting for well over three years now and I don't expect he will change his mind. At this point I'm considering some other options and I'm seeking guidance from advanced devotees.

Thus far, my main service has been traveling sankirtan, and I'm currently acting as a party leader here in LA. I'm fully committed to the sankirtan mission, particularly in North America, but in considering my long term plans it hasn't escaped my attention that 80% of the books we distribute now are in the universities, not the airports. Therefore it seems imperative that we develop preaching strategies which are better suited for engaging college students. 

As far as I'm concerned traveling book distribution is absolutely the best sadhana, especially for brahmacaris, but I'm equally convinced that sooner or later we must penetrate into the infrastructure of the education system and establish ourselves within the institution if we want to make a real impact.

I'm very much enthused by the narrative of your recent work in South America, and I think I could benefit tremendously from associating with persons with your qualifications and experience. I wish you safe travels and I look forward to hearing more of your endeavors in the future. Hare Krsna!

Your servant,

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. Esteemed Nikunja-bhari Das. Thank you for forwarding this letter. Please tell Erick the Sankirtan Leader that we might be out to West coast about Janmastami time. His service sounds super and is very informative for us.

We would like to talk with him.

Of course, we are posting news.

Certainly we could talk on the phone when we get back to USA. Also if he is in Tennessee, Texas, or Chicago we could meet.

Team strategy can be there. That takes contemplation and talking with a lot of people, no? In general, "yare dekhe tare kaha..", follow your own individual inspiration in the area and develop your programs and that will lead to group strategies. We are developing Jung and it is having an effect.
