Letters to the editor

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.

Hare Krishna Maharaj, Please Accept my obeisences . From Sydney, camilo.

heaps thanks for answer me i was a bit sad and worried, but now I'm okay.

I'm already living at the asrama with the bramhacaris, i moved on wednesday afternoon, everything was resolved very quickly.

I'll be able to do sankirtana three times a week because I'm doing a english course to get the IELTS(International english test) and also in charged of the temple shop in the evenings 'cause they need some help with that, and well attending mangala-arati and morning program . Here there is a very good and strong bramhacari asrama because the Manager is very responsible and nice devotee, his name is Ghanasyama Govinda prabhu he's also my mentor,  always very much concerned about everyone's sadhana ,he had training in chowpaty india , (JPS disciple), and the name of the temple president is Varanayaka prabhu he is from poland and very serious devotee as well. 

HpS - AGTSP. Our Second Disciple, Madhumanajari Devi Dasi is the Head Pujari, no???

we have bhakti sastri class every Sunday arvo, we also attend harinam twice a month,all the monks, and we have kirtan among  monks every evening, we read krishna book every day, instrments practice, yoga or excercise, sloka memorization, and sankirtana, well that depending on everyone's service of course. 
  If there's any particular aspect or thing you would like to know maharaj tell me . I'm so sorry about being very informal writing.
I just hope to have your blessing to make spiritual advancement ,to tolerate my mind and make real progress, and at least to stay at the temple with a good sadhana and maintain it through the years.

Thanks again for your time Maharaja! Hope youre well I'm not being able to hold japa joe because its the time we go to bed here, so it's sad.
Trying to be your servant, Camilo ! Hare Krishna, AGTSP.

HpS - Bien. Usually we must try living in the Ashram, then living outside the Ashram. Then we can start to adjust what is best place for us. Sometimes share an apartment with a friend near the temple... we learn.

Send us more news as you get some results to your experiments.

TODAS  LAS GLORIAS A SRI SRI GN!

HpS - ASA - O.K. We read your next letter. Thank you.

Querido Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP y sus seguidores fieles.

Espero que al recibir este mensaje se encuentre bien por la gracia de Dios.

HpS - TlgaSP. Paoho. Muy bien. Muchas gracias su asociacion.

Yo por aqui podría decir que estoy en una nueva etapa de mi desarrollo. Una etapa mas reflexiva y menos activa externamente. Estoy tratando de observar mas y ver las cosas desde diferentes perspectivas sin actuar.

Creo que estoy preparado para normalizar las relaciones vaisnavas (personales) con los devotos que, de alguna manera, hemos dejado de relacionarnos o hemos distanciado las relaciones. Por mi parte pienso caminar en la dirección de restablecer las relaciones hasta el punto mejor posible.

HpS - Ooof! Increible. Yo estaba pasando fuertes conflictos con hermanos espirituales, todo, pero, HK, HK... ;poco a poco la relacion con cada uno es claro. NOI 4,5,6

Pienso todos los dias en los sabios consejos que nos da continuamente y en la manera de poder ponerlos en practica despues de haberlos asimilado.

Le agradezco sinceramente la madurez, paciencia y tolerancia que tiene con todos nosotros.

Ayer estuvimos en un programa de predica. Un programa de Terapias Alternativas  como reiki,  osteopatía, flores de bach, etc. Nos invitaron a participar a hacer un bhajan y poner una mesa con parafernalia y prasadam. Pedí ayuda a Jaramara para que enviara algunos devotos del Templo  para ayudar en el bhajan y para que pusieran un stand con la parafernalia y prasadam. Jaramara prabhu, de forma muy amable,envio cuatro devotos y pienso que el programa fue exitoso. Por otro lado Purnamasi y otras devotas se encargaban de cuidar a los niños mientras los padres hacian las terapias.

Gracias Gurudev por seguir ahí y, espero algún dia poder ser un digno discipulo suyo.

Sin mas se despide

su sirviente

HpS - Super, Super, Super. Muchas gracias su asociacion. Aqui estamos trabajando como fanaticos para esta festival Sabado, Celebrate Nashville. La ciudad espera como 20-mil personas y tenemos como cuatro sitios para mantener. "booths".
