              HpS - AGTSP. Paoho. We are under enormous stress now. A lot of it always is our fame and prestige. If we say we will do something, and then we can't do it and everyone attacks our prestige then we feel great loss. That is the basis of the struggle with the Pandavas, no? So we have to let our Saree, our prestige go if we can't hang on to it all (for Krsna). We have to be able to identify very quickly, very flexible what are the priority items to hang on to, what can be the basis of regrowth.

Canakhya Pandita says like:
1. Save your life. Because if you are dead you can't do anything.
2. Save your religious principles because without those you are as good as dead.
3. Save your wife because she will automatically cause the family to prosper materially and
4. Save your wealth.

Interesting, no?
What have you learned are the priority things to save when your Karma, Destiny put you in Chaos?

All Glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai! 

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories to You!

Please accept my humble obeisances!

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja! I hope that by the grace of the Lord, You are fine <img alt="angel" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angel_smile.png" title="angel" width="23" />

I’m really fine. Now I’m feel in the prime of life as this Kriya Sakti dd <img alt="cheeky" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/tongue_smile.png" title="cheeky" width="23" />. On several occasions of my life I've been in treatment with psychologists , psychiatrists, Bach flowers and other. Not today, because I think Krsna is deeply healing my mind and my heart <img alt="heart" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png" title="heart" width="23" /><img alt="yes" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_up.png" title="yes" width="23" /><img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

In april Patrak informed me that I approve the Bhakti Sastri exam and probably in somewhere next visit to Chile You can personally give me the certificate. What an honor! <img alt="cool" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/shades_smile.png" title="cool" width="23" />

             HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. Very, very nice. I hope you developed some friendship with Krsna through the BhSastri books. They are so big. So much information. We have to get to know them a little bit and then find out which books, which parts, and in what way we have to deepen our relationship. Our advancement in devotional service means advancing our relationship with scriptutre. Very personal. Can be very simple.

I'm chanting at least 16 rounds (also with my finger digital counter<img alt="cheeky" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/tongue_smile.png" title="cheeky" width="23" />, during the day I manage to chant some more) and following the 4 regulative principles. I'm waking up every day at 5 am, get up at my little Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, I make a brief arati and chant my rounds to 7 am, at which time I prepare to go to work. 

I’m doing a postgraduate of digital comunication. I’m going to classes on tuesday and thursday evenings. I will conclude in november.<img alt="enlightened" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/lightbulb.png" title="enlightened" width="23" />

I continue with my service as pujari assistant <img alt="heart" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png" title="heart" width="23" /><img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />, now on wednesdays, after work hours.

I’m currently reading the first canto of Srimad Bhagavatam and the Mahabharata.<img alt="cool" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/shades_smile.png" title="cool" width="23" />

Something that has me excited is that since march i'm participating in a Bhakti Vṛkṣa <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />. They are many young people average age of 25. The leader group is Constanza Valdivieso, aspiring disciple of Sankarsana Das Adhikari. 

I feel I’m in a very stable stage of my life where my devotional service and materials occupations are fairly balanced <img alt="heart" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png" title="heart" width="23" />. I pray to Radha and Krsna, and I ask Your blessings to maintain and increase that energy and inspiration without Mayadevi cover me (all the more). 

Something bad <img alt="no" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_down.png" title="no" width="23" />. At this time I went back to drinking Coke <img alt="blush" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/embarrassed_smile.png" title="blush" width="23" /><img alt="indecision" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/whatchutalkingabout_smile.png" title="indecision" width="23" />, and I’m addicted again <img alt="crying" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/cry_smile.png" title="crying" width="23" />, like before meeting Krsna consciousness.

    HpS - Why? What is it that attracts you? Chant HK/R all the time your are drinking and see the contrast. Must be some real reason. 

Question. The Krsna West movement of Acaryadeva Maharaja is becoming very popular, and I've used that example to preach to people that it costs them to make Krsna consciousness because of external and aesthetic aspects. What do you think of this and the movement in general?

      HpS - Maharaja spends a lot of time here with NGD and in Nashville. As usual he has good ideas and good efforts, but Devamrta Swami and others are doing similar things. The point is to get people to adopt the technical values and the rituals and clothing can change in different ways.

I hope You are very well upon receipt of this message. Thanks a lot for everything You do for us daily. <img alt="heart" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png" title="heart" width="23" /><img alt="blush" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/embarrassed_smile.png" title="blush" width="23" />

Your servant, 

Kriya Sakti devi dasi <img alt="cool" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/shades_smile.png" title="cool" width="23" />

HpS - O.K. We wait for your analysis of Why People Drink Coca-cola.

Please accept by humble obeisances, All glories to srila Prabhupada!

Gurudeva,

The study that I did look at a combination of published writen works and lectures that I accesed through ISKCON Desire Tree, so face to face interaction wasn't needed. Next semester I may get funding to help me get to the temple and do live recordings after morning program. 

Since I last wrote, school has ended and I was able to work out a way to get to the temple on Saturday mornings, so I will be able to see Radha-Giridhari's Lotus Feet more often for the next few months. Their Feet and the sweet. sweet Shila that live at the temple.

I have included a picture of my home altar where I do my chanting and programs that I have here.

I have seen Dayanidhi and his dynasty a few times in the past month and try to keep in contact with them. 

I have also been considering trying to go to Mayapura this winter and was curious if that would be wise or foolish...

You fallen servant,

Nityananda-rama dasa 

HpS - Jaya. AGTSP. Going to Mayapura is kind of like going to New York city. If you go as a Tourist it is expensive and a very strong external program. If you know someone then it is deeper and safer. Please send us more news every few weeks. You can be our Correspondent in the Govardhana Dhama.

Your Deity is incredible!!!

How is your organic family?

Hare Krsna! AgtSP! Agt Guru y Gauranga! Vivan Radha y Krsna! I wish You are well in all aspects Gurudeva. About my debt, in true I dont know exactly becouse all my time in India but two days I chanted with fingers or mentally and I dont remember the numbers. Some days a lot, some days not many I think. Here in Spain, with my illness, tireness and principally my tamas little,¿ and little conventration. I dont have any excuse Maharaja, I know, I am sorry. I think 15 days is number very true.

I have one movil for Japa Joe, bat internet yet. But i can see and hear the noi classes...pure néctar!!! At your feet! B. Pablo. HARE KRSNA!!!!

         HpS - ASA --- Is good to keep clear track of our debt and then recover the loss, no? Is a formallity but not without meaning. By this we show Krsna we love Him. 15-days seems great. Concentrate. Make the Japa a practical tool to change your life forever and to change the world.

Hare Krsna Maharaja! AgtSP! Agt Gurú y Gauranga! Vivan Radha y Krsna! I wish you are better about your health, and you are nice in all aspects. I have return to spain some days ago. The travel have had her own life. Thanks to Krsna have gave to me a lot of realizations but a lot of stress also.

I have had one experience with M.Ganga that never will forgoten. Remember yours classes, instructions, person, have give me a smile in my mouth. Also other Big Devoties, that every day i think more there is no diference between you, only personal diferences.

I know very well that without you Maharaja i am lost; thanks you very much. I dont know what more to say. I am a dull, but I dont want be very far of you and Krsna. A lot of things have change in my life in that pilgrem to india, but after a lot of tests I want advance more and more in my little service-posición.

HpS - AGTSP. paoho. We received a very exciting letter from your address with attacks by criminals and swimming for 10km in the Ganga???
Yes, recover your lost rounds. Chanting 16-enthusiastic rounds daily is such great personal service for me and Prabhupada and all the devotees. Of course, help the devotees with your talents in Spain.

Are you ready for initiation now?
