HpS - ASA -- AGTSP paoho. We talked with Jayapataka Swami in Mayapura like March and he told us that after six months of following everything one is a "Refugee" and after another six months can take 1st initiation. So, I think you all about ready for initiation. Are you ready? Can you promise Krsna to chant good rounds and follow the principles for your whole life and become His friend again?

Toda gloria a Hanumatpresaka Svami

Tod gloria a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencia

Hare Krishna Gurudev espero se encuentre bien, no estoy usando mucho Internet, Le cuento que:estuve en Chile tres meses de sankirtan , despues me fui a visitar a mis padres aqui en Argentina . hicimos un programa con los devotos de Bahi Blanca en Rio Negro, un amigo mio se hizo devoto y esta cantando las 16 rondas al dia y toma prasada,  ahora hace unos 10 dias que me encuentro en el templo de Buenos Aires, el cual extrañaba,  siempre me asocio com los brahmacaris,  y estoy haciendo Sankirtana, estoy estudiando  Mantras de La Bhagavad gita, termine de leer la vida de Srila Gour Kishor das babaji y Srila Jaganath das babaji, Me gustaria familiarizarme mas con el Nectar de la devoción, lei algunos textos del Doctor Kapoor, yde Satya Raja Prabhu, tambien termine filokalia cristiana(resumen). Estube leyendo  la primer parte del Sri Caitanya Caritamrita Madhya lila hasta el capitulo 13, pienso retomarlo desde el Adi Lila cuando pueda, por que todavia no me da para entenderlo o aprenderlo, necesito tener mas Bondad, 

Pienso que mi deuda es el estudio con el Srimad Bhagavatam el cual pienso dedicar los años proximos

El viaje a India sigue en mis planes,  tengo que terminar de hacer toda la legalidad, pienso que mañana ya voy a estar haciendolo, solo me falta enviar dos emails,  en Julio es muy probable que viaje con Panca Tattva a Brasil para hacer Sankirtan por dos meses.

Disculpe mis ofensas querido Guru Maharaja,  por favor ore por mí.

Su aspirante a sirviente adiYajna Dasa

Siempre tengo con migo elNoI y por su misericordia puedo entender algo mas. Espero verlo antes de viajar a India

  HpS - ASA --- Super. TlgaSP. Paoho. Estamos pensando en que pasa con Vd. ayer. Todo su reportaje y planes son super. Solamente tiene que cantar japa sincero y Krsna en su corazon con confirmacion exterior va a comunicar Su opinion de cosas a Vd.

All the glories to Srila Prabhupada

please Gurudeva accept my obeisances

After your stay in Houston, Krishna allows us to travel to north carolina to the Sadhu Sanga retreat with devotees from Dallas, very friendly devotees. Awesome festival! much kirtan, prasadam and beautiful montains.

Now I'm in houston again, I think you already know. I really like it here. Be near to the temple makes me disciplined in my sadhana, mangala artika every day, japa, and SB class. 

I talked to Manasi G and some other devotees about the possibility to stay longer here and maybe get a job, the response has been favorable. Nitakishory mataji offered me to stay in her home. for now we have service in the pujari room and a little in the kitchen. CC and Subra are the best neighbors ever. I want to help the mother Subra but i dont know how exactly as a practical way, maybe go out to  distribute the school information.

continue our worship to lord Nrisimhadeva.

some Hispanic people who attended the opening wants kirtan program in their houses, we planning that for the next week.

Gurudeva, I do not know what is planning RadhaNila Madhava for me, i just ask for your guide to do it better.

waiting to see you in July, your servant Govinda Pramodini DD.

HpS - ASA - Very nice to hear from you. Very nice news. Please stay there as long as Krsna desires. Of course, stay in touch with your people in Mexico. See you in July.

Esteemed Maharaja. Hare Krishna! Please Accept my humble obeisances. All Glories To Srila Prabhupada.
My name is Jacobo, but almost all devotees know me as Sadhana Dasa.

I am 41 years old. I had the fortune and the mercy to meet you the last year in Nueva Vrajamandala and to attend some of your classes. I belong to the group of Yoga in which was Dandava Das Prabhu and that began to asociate with the movement for Krishna consciousness about two and a half years ago.

I am single and I live in the countryside near Aranjuez, a town to 50km from Madrid. I made a temple in one of the rooms of my house where I daily do my Sadhana.

Almost weekly I attend classes with Dandava Das at his house since about four years ago and we usually read the Bhagavad-Gita.

Yadunandana Maharaja had the mercy to accept me as Siksa Guru about two months ago. I also consider Dandava Prabhu as my Siksa Guru and, just like Maharaja, they are an example and a inspiration to me.

I work as a graphic designer and I collaborate with the Bhaktivedanta Studies Institute since it began, making the advertising and designs for festivities and events. I also make the advertising for the Hare Krishna temple in Madrid where I also have the service of cleaning the Temple every Sunday after the program.

I have been following the four regulative principles for about two years and now I am chanting at least 16 rounds a day. I try to connect to Japa Joe whenever my job allows me and is very satisfying to sing and to listen the Saints Names of the Lord together with you and other devotees.
I´ve been considering for some time to take a step forward in Krishna Consciousness and since You are an inspiration to me, both by your example as well as for your preaching, I would like to take refuge in You if you accept me as a disciple.

I would like if you could please give me instructions that will help me improve my spiritual path and serve You better, as well as Srila Prabhupada and Krishna.

Thank you very much for everything. Greetings.

Your servant.

Jacobo.

             HpS - AGTSP Paoho.  So nice to read your bio-data. Have you read: www.jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt?

If no, then please do and giv us your comments.

We don't have any specific advice now but we certainly try to put all we can into Japa Joe and DTC and these letters/blog.

Dear Swamiji,

PAMHO, AGTSP. Maharaj, I came to Berkeley in 1996 when they closed the Carl Street temple. Later I was in LA when you initiated Raghunatha Puri das and Caitanya Caritamrita das.

Here in Bali I am focusing on my rounds and going to temple as much as possible. Most mornings I usually end up taking long japa walks on the beach. I am also waiting a final interview to teach devotee children at the Bhaktivedanta school. I really want to educate devotee children.

Your humble servant,

Bhakta Ken

            HpS - Hey, AGTSP paoho. Are you the epileptic, six-gunned, orphan who found his mother and was married twice in Cambodia and teaches English and travels all over the world fearlessly?

   Pamho, TlgaSP,

   Querido Guru Maharaja, espero que se encuentre bien.

  17 rondas minimo, 4 principios, Servicio a Sus Señorias.

   Han pasado muchas cosas desde la última carta, perdone que no escribiera antes; he tenido que valorar ciertas cosas para poder tomar decisiones, mi posición en principio siempre ha sido  en la dirección que hablamos en la última carta.

   He visto que esta escribiendo algo, ¿podría obtener alguna copia?, ¿puedo intentar ser de alguna utilidad?

               HpS - ASA - TlgaSP. Muy bien oir de Vd. Cantando y principios y esta participando fuerte en Sankirtan de Senor Caitanya! Intentaremos compartir algo escrito en Espanol! Ya luchando con Ingles. Pronto.

    Es posible que por fin pueda abandonar la posición de brahmastra y emprender una vida de grihasta vanaprasta. Si no; creo que avanzaré en esa dirección. Y si no tendré que seguir de brahmastra (soltero y sin compromiso a la espera de una devota millonaria) Jejejeje. He  escrito a  Yadunandana Swami al respecto, y la proxima semana hablaremos de esta situación.

     Me alegro de saber que va a estar pronto por estas tierras.

    Despues de pelear arduamente con .........todo tipo de demonios, los sentidos y la mente, muchos debates con los devotos y autoridades: tengo un compromiso de un año con Sri Sri Gaura Nitay y con el templo de Madrid hasta Agosto del año que viene (1 año). Pudiendo ser revocado por causa de boda u otras fuerzas de la naturaleza. En julio hay la continuación de el curso de Arcana en Nuaeva Vrajamandala de 5 dias. Y en agosto estaré en Malaga, hasta Septiembre.

    Tambien estudiando algo más que habitualmente, también estoy colaborando con salsa Rasa LiLa el grupo de Yasodanandana Prabhu aunque creo que el primer concierto va a ser playback en su mayoria, por lo tanto no me voy a estresar mucho con eso (esto es secreto, por favor si alguien lee esta sección intente olvidarlo) . Y empezando a pensar que mi vida tiene que tener una dirección: asociación con devotos y poder adorar la Deidad de los Templos de Iskcon, acompañado de Hare Krishna Maha Mantra. Gracias por toda Su Misericordia sin causa. ¿Tiene algún mensaje para este pobre tonto ignorante?.

Su caido aspirante a intento de sirviente.  Jharikhanda-gaura Das.

HpS - ASA - No, es la misma. Su situacion es bastante bien. Este mundo es para austeridades. We were not born to be happy. Adelantar y va a encontrar un oceano de bienaventurana!!!! Mas noticias!  Hari Bolo!!

Super fotos!!!
