10/01/14  Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja!  All glories to Mighty Srila Prabhupada...Please accept my dandavats @pranamas.  Is Ayruvedic endeavor progressing nicely?

    HpS - ASA - AGTSP    paoho....  We talked with Gaura Prema das.   It is very nice. now we have to talk with Rupa-anuga Das. I think it will wait until after this festival Saturday and then be apart of our academic preaching program development with them for Peru. I will write to him in about two weeks!  PLEASE keep in touch with us on this.

We have returned from so. cal. family seva.  You mentioned Goswami training for girls.  i am sure  i am unqualified however would like to know details of training please.  Will try to locate this info on your site.  I need to become much more familiar with your site so i can communicate mostly by blog as you have requested.  If i cannot access info, then i will beg for your help.

HpS - ASA - We answered this in the subsequent letter. Very nice.

Have been studying lives of the 6 Goswamis.  i feel very tiny and dirty after the study.  However also blissfully inspired and grateful to take the dust of the soil they walked on via reading their pastimes.  Trying to become more expert in execution of more Vaisnava songs so I can be of better service leading kirtan at Sat program in Sac.   It is also important to me that i represent you there as well as i can.  Any seva i can realistically perform for you?  Your worthless servant, Kalindi Devi dasi

ASA - Blog writing and keep reminding us of Ayurveda. I think if yoiu read here you will quickly see what you can do.

How is the David and the Weiner Dog?

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Goura Nitai

Todas las Glorias A Srila prabhupada

Todas las Glorias a sus pies  [ASA - De manzana]

Querido Gurudeva.

Espero que su salud lo este acompañando en su servicio, me mantengo al tanto de sus reportes en Kapi dhvaja.

Hace unos dias he recibido la respuesta de mi reporte anterior(julio) y debo contarle varias cosas, primero que todo mi reporte...

16 rondas regulas diarias, lectura de BG todos los dias, en la noche estoy leyendo El Guerrero espiritual II "transformando lujuria en amor" por su santidad Bhakti Tirtha Swami, precisamente para regular los principios ya que he tenido problemas con ese tema, ya que estoy conociendo a un devoto y mi poca inteligencia no me ha permitido cumplir con estos; por el mismo echo de que me encuentro con pruebas bastante dificiles en el aspecto de la lujuria y me parece que cada dia encuentro un anartha nuevo en el cual debo trabajar.

ASA - Thank you! AGTSP paoho. Utiliza translate.google.com!   We come to this human life after hundreds of thousands of births. So, what is the surprise that we have bad habits, no? We will suffer for doing stupid things. Yes, how to find the cause and reconnect that to Krsna!

Bueno aun me estoy quedando regularmente en el templo los fines de semana (1 vez a la Semana) para mangala arati, mi servicio es ayudar a un devoto a preparar el desayuno prasadam para los devotos y dentro de la semana hago mechitas para las lamparas de ghee atambien preparando su Vyasa Puja en diciembre.

Bueno, usted me preguntaba si a mi hijo (Nityananda) le gustaba quedarse en el templo.... si le encanta y tiene muchos amigos, el es muy inspirador le gusta hacer servicio...seguramente el sea un gran devoto!!!

En la vida material estoy trabajando pero ya no excesivamente, sin duda Krishna vio que andaba mal con mi vida espiritual y me tendio una mano, ahora trabajo solo de 2 a 4 horas diaria el resto del dia estoy aprendiendo hacer sankirtan y ocuparme de mis deberes como madre y el hogar.

Tengo bastante asociacion con los devotos pero aun puede ser mas!!!, me he refugiado en algunos de mis hermanos espirituales mayores grihastras por el tema de los principios y regulaciones...

pero aun soy muy tonta para entender muchas cosas y cada dia me sorprendo de las cosas en las que tengo que trabajar, estoy llena de lujuria que solo pienso en servir a un esposo "el cual ni siquiera tengo".... yo quiero servir a Krishna y no mucho a los sentidos, pero me cuesta mucho!!! a veces me siento muy frustrada.

que el Señor Nrismha le de su proteccion

esperando instruccion, le ofrezco mis humildes reverencia

  HpS - ASA --- As you say, there is so much to learn. We have a long way to go before we get back to Goloka. We have to pass through Dvaraka and Ayodhya and ... first. I would say that the first thing is, "Get up early and get your Japa-vrata done".
Can you do that?

Keep a list for two weeks when you finished your rounds each day and then send the average time to the Blog!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja!

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Gurudev, las autoridades del templo estàn necesitando ayuda para la atención de Sri Sri Gaura Nitay, sòlo por el mes de octubre. Los devotos me pidieron si puedo ayudar.

Ellos saben de la instrucciòn que Usted me dió, pero me piden que Le pregunte a Usted si puedo entrar un par de dìas a la semana. Desde la ùltima carta (3 meses apròximadamente), hemos hecho nuestro mayor esfuerzo por mantenernos libres de la vida sexual ilìcita.

Creo que Krsna nos ha ayudado de una u otra manera a ser màs fuertes espiritualmente y de esa manera ser màs estrictos y serios en nuestros votos.

Por mi parte estoy cantando mis 16 rondas, y cumpliendo con los horarios del Gayatri Mantra. He dado tiempo para la lectura del Bhagavd Gita y Srimad Bhagavatam principalmente. Asisto a mangal aratik al menos una vez a la semana con los devotos en el templo, y escucho dentro de lo posible clases de Bhagavad Gita y Bhagavatam tambièn en el templo.

De a poco he sentido que estoy empapandome de conciencia de Krsna. No sè si estoy avanzando, porque la verdad mi impresiòn puede estar equivocada, pero tengo el deseo de querer avanzar.

Mi pobre entendimiento es que: Krsna parece una persona muy interesante con la cual quisiera asociarme. Y la ùnica manera de poder llegar a esa asociaciòn parece ser que debo convertirme en una devota avanzada.. Mantener buenas relaciones con los devotos en general (incluyendo a mi esposo e hijo) practicar la misericordia y compasiòn, ser humilde, en fin. Inicialmente debo atravesar la capas burdas de ésta condiciòn material. Y por ùltimo, en mi condiciòn, aùn queda un largo camino.

Muchas gracias.

Priya Sakhi Devi Dasi

HpS - Jaya! AGTSP. paoho.   De nuestra perspectivo pienso es cierto no debe tocar los pies de loto de Gaura Nitai en el altar. Pienso es la estandard de Srila Prabhupada en sus libros, ministerio de adoracion, GBC, todos.

Es sorpendente que la administracion tiene otro idea. Por nuestra comprehension es mejor servir de una posicion apropriaddo como explica Vd. entonces puede advanzar resolver estas problemas.

O.K?

Pienso sola devotos siguiendo la estandard puede servir Deidades de ISKCON en los Templos. Entonces Vd. tiene que esparar. Adelantar!! Entender!

Hare Krishna dear guru maharaj

Please accept my dandavat pranams.

All glories to Srila Prabhupad.
I have got a job in Kronos Company, Maharaj. I am occasionally serving the lordship in Dallas by cutting vegetables. After meeting you in Houston temple, I have recently started reading Srimad Bagavatam. Please bless me so that i can be an initiated desciple soon. Your Servant Nataraj

AGTSP! - Jaya. Very nice that you are working for the Leader in Workforce Management. Is is run by Durga devi or Radharani? I guess both kinds of people come.

Yare dekhe...  You are there primarily to preach. See how you can do it!

What are you reading in the SB????????   Respects to the family!

Sri Krishna Caitanya,

Prabhu Nityananda,

Sri Advaita,

Gadadhara

Srivasadi Gaura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jaya!

Srila Prabhupada ki jaya!

Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaja ki jaya!

Sankirtan yajña ki jaya!

I hope this letter finds you in great health.

I am still focusing on distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books. Now we are going to highschools and universities. Students are really into the books and most teachers are nice to us and let us in, sometimes taking books for themselves. I found this strategy to be more efficient than buses. We can distribute more books in less time and effort. It’s so nectar J.

    ASA - AGTSP.  paohhhhhh......!

I am moving next week with two devotees near the temple. Adinath and Hadai (GPS). The apartment is 15 min walking distance away, so I have no excuse for not attending Mangala Artik J and keeping a service at least once a week. Moreover, there are many yoga centers in the area, so I expect to keep practicing and teaching some yoga asanas classes nearby.

We are now studying the NOD in Bhakti Sastri online. I am having trouble memorizing verses. How can I improve?

    HpS - Hmmm! Don't know. Everyone has different mind. Some people have to have a tactile, dance, to remember things. Experiment. Use them.

I realized that this past six months I was more focused on myself rather that in the relationship with Satya Bhama. But now that we took the Sacred Union Workshop by Mahatma Prabhu and that we’ve been talking to Grihastas devotees I think I have a better understanding of my role in the relationship. I feel more confident and willingly to make her happy J

ASA - ....!....

I have sometimes failed chanting all 16 rounds and following 4 principles strictly. I have so many bad habits. I pray that by being closer to the devotees I can cleanse my heart enough for not being an obstacle in the Sankirtana mission.

Thank you Maharaj for inspiring us and please forgive my offenses.

Your worthless servant,

Bhakta Marco

HpS - That is good measure of all the otheer services: How I am doing my rounds and 4-principles well, better!

Hare krishna maharaj ! Please accept my humble obiancses. All the glories to srila Prabhupada!!

thank you very much maharaj for answering all three letters! I thought they werent beeing sent! You are right about the feeling one is not giving enough effort in the service krishna is endless, I will just work on giving my 110% . But i ralized that it is normal to feel like this bcause it is the Supreme Personality of Godhead right?

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho....  We have to chant HK/R, look for answers, standard in Srila Prabhupada's books, and ask several devotees, then we can know if we are trying hard enough. Or if we are trying in the right way. Of course we have to do our service in better and better ways.

Maharaj i hope and wish you are very  very well inside the limitations of the material world :) i i also hope it will be posible to meet you in peru in february! 

Hare krishna hare krishna , krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare !! 

your servant

HpS - ASA - Who was a greater conquerer than Alexander. Maybe Hannibal did some things, but Alexander was one of the greatest, but he was not satified.

January in Peru and February in Peru.  ... Argentina - Chile.
