i try to do service whenever I can since I live far from the temple i had the opportunity to meet you in your last visit to Buenos Aires and became very entusiasthic, hope to see you soon.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. We are Monkey and Piggy and HpSwami et al. We live in a boat moored at 902 Hillcrest Dr., Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We try not to eat p-nuts late at night and do Sankirtan as much as we can. We hope to see you while we are in Argentina in January.

Hare krisna Maharaja!!
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
 

How are you? I hope that you are fine! 

HpS - ASA - AGTSP! We are dying well!
 

Now im in Santander i will stay here some days more, i will return to Madrid the last days of this month!! All here is OK i cook all the days to my family and they love prasadam, all the days i cook different types of foods and they  like a lot to discover new "spiritual" flavours!!! 
I dont wake up early... (i hope to change this inmideatly), i usually wake up at 7:00 A.M or 8:00 A.M and i start to chant my rounds after the breakfast, the japa is good!! I love to chant near the sea. This days are like my holidays and i use my time to study bhakti sastri, harmonium, read (Now im reading the light of the Bhagavata, is the first time that i read it and i think that it will be one of my favourites books, wonderfull and very beautifull book!),

ASA - If you go to the Archives in the ASA web-site you will find andd index, power-point shows about LOB there!

. . .go to the mountain, meet with family and friends.

Some weeks before to arrived to Santander i went to Canary Islands to celebrate the Ratha Yatra!! Was an amazing experience, the devotees of the islands are awesome! The festival was great and a lot of people come to see the deitys!!! Incredible!!!
I met Bhakti Marga Swami "The walking monk" He is awesome, I admire his motivation to work for Krishna, he is always happy and with many desires to preach about Krisna. He is a big source of inspiration for me. He asked to me if i wanted to do some theatre, i never did theatre, but i thought "If i accept i will pass lot of time with him, ok i will do it" The title of the Drama was "The jagannath history" and i was Indrayumna the king. It was an amazing experience to work with him and the drama liked to all the public!! It was very funny!
After of that i went to New Vrajamandala, to take a course of education (some differents pedagogical methods) with Yadunandana Swami, this course its fantastic, i learn a lot of new things and i remember differents knowledges that i learned in the university. Very positive experience 100% i think that we are going to do the next level in  October or November. 
I miss a lot the continue association with the devotees, i like to have time to read, cook (i like a lot to cook sometimes i cook in the temple, and the last weeks i was in the kitchen helping to prepare the prasadam for the program) but its very hard to stay with out devotees near to you, when the mind attacks me im alone and its very difficult to controll it.
The death can come at any time... im trying to put this idea in myself to develope more attchment to the holy names!! I think that one of the best things to stay far of the temple its that i miss a lot the association with the devotees and to do service that i usually do. I think that its good cause now i have many motivation and a strong desire to return to the temple!!! Its like a lesson that the life gives me to appraise how much important and valuable is the sadhu sangha and the service.
Your servant Bhakta Marcos.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Sorry took so long to answer this letter. We got so much behind because of the USA tour. Now what is the news? Back in Espiritu Santu? Initiation? It is so nice that you have so much chance to meet such a big variety of devotees!

Hare Krsna AGTSP, PAMHO

Dear Guru Maharaja.

This last summer was intense, good things and pretty tough situations also, especially when krishna destroys your false ego, showing you that you are not the centre of the universe. Hurts, but, now I am much much better. And is more difficult when you dont have a mentor to tell all this things. But I am looking for one. I would like to share with you more personal things through other media.

 HpS - ASA - Call us - 209 505-3219. You are the center of Radha-Krsna's universe!

SADHANA: Apart of the inner things, the sadhana is quite strong, I have been increasing my services in the pujari room, like doing turbans for Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra, studying some arati's procedures etc. Sometimes is nice to change services.

PREACHING: The college preaching is going more than well. Last week for instance, I organized a kirtan program where around 100 students had the opportunity to experience the maha mantra and take prasadam. We are expecting to do this monthly.

HpS - ASA -- Will we see you Satuday. Oct 3rd. Saci-kumar and devotees coming. Of course, we will be in Chicago for a week in November. Dates in the Calendar. University 1. Prasadam, 2. Philosophy (BG), 3. Meditation = Japa-Kirtan

The temple president asked me to give Mrdanga Clases to the congregation members, so now my mrdanga workshop is little bit more official and also I am giving guidance to the bhaktas that have musical nature, spending time with them, trying to engage them in musical services etc.

I was so happy when Nityananda Prana told me about your possible visit to Chicago!
They have 2 university programs for You, for sure.But also, if you are agree, I would like to organize something else in another college and may be The art institute of Chicago. But I need info about  LOB and your presentation of Carl Jung to work on that. 

HpS - Call us. We have to discuss details.

I have permission to go to Nashivile on Oct 4th. That's all for now Gurudeva.

HpS - ASA --- Ahhh! So we will see you before you get this letter. Ha! Ja! Haw!

Paoho

Querido Guru maharajá, ojala se encuentre bien con una dieta rica y saludable,

HpS - ASA - TlgaSP!.  Paho.  Bhoga por Sr. Nrsmhadeva hoy dia: Mucho yogurt, leche, avacado, celery, frutas secas. 

y con su plática con Jung. Me encuentro muy entusiasta en con los estudios y con la venida de un  devoto aspirante a sannyasa de Bolivia, P. Deva Deva, se está quedando en Wilson, en el tercer  piso sufriendo las inclemencias del frío, pero disfrutando de la vida simple y el pensamiento elevado.  Mostró power point de Darwin y su teoría de la evolución de las especies, a veces pienso que muchas personas actúan como monos o perros como señala el SB, es muy chistoso.

Tuvimos la misericordia de visitar a Radha Madam Bihari este domingo, y su nuevo piso blanco de loza, frío, pero le da más amplitud al templo y hay más luz. Gaura  y madres  mayores de Chosica se encargan de las deidades. Que termine mi  confinamiento hasta diciembre y retomare mi servicio fijo en Chosica. Tiempo atrás, no pensaba ver el templo tan renovado, y es que los comerciantes del yatra juntaron dinero y donaron el piso.

   ASA - Reverncias a ellos!........!...

Estamos haciendo más ajustes con los tiempos, por los estudios y continuaremos perseverantes hasta lograrlo, mis compañeros piensan que soy hippy, yp me visto lindo, no como hippy, hay gente muy favorable, tengo una compañera que aunque su padre es hindu, ella no sabe nada de Krsna, así hay proyección de predica para todas esas personas con paciencia, veo la protección de Krsna a cada paso, la suya vigilante y eso me llena de regocijo interno.

Esperamos su próxima venida como el campesino que espera ver llegar la lluvia, refrescante y bondadosa.

Su hija que lo adora y hecha siempre de menos:

Yugala Kisora Dasi

HpS - ASA - Super noticias, gracias. Como se llaman su amigos en escuela? Cuales cursos? Sankirtan en Lima? Deva deva Das es aspirante a Sannyas con quien para Sannyasa guru?

SB 3.21.1 - Vidura said Svāyambhuva Manu dynasty has been greatly appreciated. Oh, adorable wise !, ask you to inform me about that lineage, whose descendants multiplied through sexual intercourse. 

Comments: 

R and F: The way addresses the wise Vidura Maitreya is remarkable. He goes with pleasant words, such as proper etiquette and also you can see the transparent heart of Vidura. We note that the manu Svāyambhuva lineage was much appreciated. 

SB 3.21.2 - The two sons of Svāyambhuva Manu, Priyavrata and Uttānapāda, ruled the world, consisting of seven islands, strictly in accordance with religious principles. 

Pamho Gurudev , TLGASP, TLGASSRMV, Aqui le envio los tres primeros verosso en ingles, perodn por haberselo enviado solo en castellano. Muchas Gracias, para servirlo: radha jp dd.

Comments: 

  R and F: As Srila Prabhupada explains in the Bhagavad Gita, when the government adheres to religious principles everyone is happy. Both the mind and actions of a governing influence throughout the atmosphere. That's why at the slightest difference in a fight kali yuga, because the whole atmosphere is polluted. The four basic principles are: austerity, cleanliness, knowledge and truth symbolizing the four legs of the bull is the symbol of religion. In Kali Yuga have lost three principles: austerity, cleanliness and knowledge and the only principle that remains is the truth. For this reason we must be honest in our spiritual life and naturally we can develop the other pillars of the religion. 

ASA - Applies to the government in ISKCON, no? If we follow this in ISKCON we will become a great society in the world.

SB 3.21.3 - Oh, oh !, brahmana holy, sinless person ! Ive referred to the daughter of Manu name calling Devahūti Kardama wife of the sage, the lord of created beings. 

Comments: 

  R and F: Vidura still going with nice words to Maitreya Rsi, praising its qualities. His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada explains the meaning of the text Six Upadesamrta that: "Unless one is truly devoted, can not see another devotee perfectly," Here we see the purity of Vidura. Also mentioned as wife Devahuti Kardama Muni, who appointed him as the lord of created beings. Mr. Kapila who is Krsna Himself appeared as his son. 

ASA - So who is Gopalito?

Please forgive any offense. Todaslas glories to SS. Hanumat Presaka Swami! 

Your aspiring servant: Radha dd jalpa prati japa.

Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my obeisance, I wait that you are very well totally Gurumaharaja, although your heart always are with Sri Krishna so always you are protect.
Continuous chanting 16 rounds daily and 4 principles, sadhana has improved and that allowed me more  temple service.

I still live with the devotees and that helps me to recognize that I am a jiva full of ego and bad qualities that I have learn heal and I see it as a good workout for a good future Grihastha where you learn to be more humble.

During this season, P Marco and I were able to go to Cueramaro Vyasa puja of HH Swami Bhakti Bucana was very beautiful and we had a lot of association of devotees. 
HH also visited Monterrey Mahatma Prabhu seminars Grihasta Asharam and Japa, but were at the same time as the online education seminar in Houston, then Prabhu Marco and I divided the tasks that we might receive the benefit of both, he was a translate the online course at home mother Gopi Radha and I trip to Monterrey to record all classes. We are doing a good team and has helped  their instruction and receive advice of many counselors, we hope learn more to serve each other and therefore to you. 
After the seminars, Sri Krishna made the arrangement for Marco Prabhu traveled to Monterrey to Jala Yatra festival to help in the kitchen, very merciful devotees asked me to restore the deities of Jagannatha Baladeva and Subhadra for the festival,

I pray a lot you, Srila Prabhupada and Sri Jaganntha to give me the intelligence to be able to do well. And that was how it was possible to attend their Lordships, the festival was wonderful, amazing, the whole atmosphere felt purified and Lord Jagannatha could not stop smiling. Your aspiring disciple matayi Lalita Madhava from Monterrey organized and made ​​countless service for this festival, she is a great inspiration.

I understood that you have a vision beyond this time, you can see what Krishna wants for his devotees and you transmitted us, it was his wish that achievement possible this momentous festival, though slow to execute instructions, his disciples are anxious for  getting your instructions , please  allow us to  keep us. 
Thanks for all that inspires me Gurudeva and reminds me that my nature is to be a servant, is a shame to forget all the time. I feel his protection and shelter where I go, as you are dear to Krishna makes me feel that love .

Her servant Satyabhama dd.
