Dear Maharaja:

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I'm Maha Hari das temple president of Buenos Aires Argentina.

            HpS - AGTSP!    Paoho.   We know you!!!     So, so nice to have your association, even by letter!!!!

I'm writting you to recommend two aspirant diciples for formal shelter here in BsAs Mandir.

Bhaktina Belen Salinas

Bhakta Camilo ( currently in Australia yatra)

Bhaktin Belen has been doing service nicely for over 6 months and she is assisting the devotees in the pujari department. She is a nice young devotee that has a lot to learn and we hope you can consider her your servant.

Bhakta Camilo has lived in the ashrama the past year with us and now he traveled to Australia Yatra to live there.

He was doing book distribution and helping with the preaching programs here in B-aires. He followed nicely the morning programs and chant his rounds daily while he was here. Please consider him you sincere servant as well.

I also have news regarding bhakti luis ( AKA the baker)

Luis moved into the temple, he rented a room in the temple and wants to stay for a while with Us to recieved proper trainning. He works at the temple restaurant, few days a week and also do a lot of service in the temple. He has a baby boy Hari who he sees a couple of days  a week. Luis rented his house so he can have some fix income, he uses half of that income to give to his child and the other have to rent a room in the temple. Also he works a the temple restaurant and uses that income for his own expenses.

We are going to take care of luis and help him to advance and rise him up to the level of a worthy  servant  and disciple.

We hope to see you again this year, please let me know when wuold you be coming to baires and please try to plan your visit anytime but december since we want the devotees to focus on the book distribution marathon.
looking forward to see you.
your servant

Please accept my humblee obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Gurudeva, I have been chanting and reading. I still have problems getting to the temple, but I have started a Bhagavad Gita study group so that I can have some association. Luckily Lord Jagganatha threw a parade close to my house so I was able to see His smiling face recently.

This semester is drawing to an end and I am actively working on a report in one of my linguistics course to examin how Srila Prabhupada's use of English has effected the English of ISKCON and if second wave devotees are using language in the same was as Prabhupada's diciples. It is interesting to look at all of the subtle ways in which we have been touched by Srila Prabhupada. I hope to extend this project in the future to use as the basis for my master's thesis.

HpS - ASA - Aaaaaah. Such a nice study, but how can you do it without getting to the Temple to study how the devotees use English???  Seems you must be looking at both in their written format?? Is nice..

I have momentarily quite studying Japanese to focus more on my sadhana and my major and spritualizing my linguistics study.

You fallen servant,

Nityananda-rama dasa

HpS - ASA - Super!  Do you say hello to Dayanidhi and his family from time to time???

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

10 years, 7 months ago by sarad-bihari-dasi in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Gurudeva , please accept my obeisances , all glories to Srila Prabhupada , all glories to you .

How are you Gurudeva?

      HpS - ASA -  Jaya! AGTSP Paoho......  I think I am what you will be in 15-years more of being a devotee if you continue struggle as you are.

I write you because i want to thank you for your last response  to my last letter, i do have to say  i didn't  understand completely what you saidat that moment , until the other day , i started family constellations with ekanta bhakti , the day that i started i didn't feel any change , but 4 days later i was walking and suddenly it hit me , i remember what you told me , and im trying to act according to that Gurudeva, so , first of all  : thank you sooo much! i feel very lucky to have you as a Guru.

So I'm trying to take advantage of a  bad period for me , and its starting to get better , i remember also  that when i told you i was moving here you said: you are trading headache for stomachache, now i get it .

Anyway I'm going to the altar on Wednesday, i cook for Them, Belen help me to cut the vegetables and its very nice :), also she is teaching me my first harmonium melody, I'm excited because I always wanted to sing , but I never learned any instrument, 

Thank you once again, Japa Joe its really helping me , hope i can serve you more Gurudeva  , you are my inspiration, Sarad Bihari Dasi

HpS - ASA - We are at most 7% self-made, 93% Srila Prabhupada, Krsna-Guru made. So that is where your inspiration is coming from! Now you have to pass it on to others. You have to become guru also.

Urgent mercy

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP
PAMHO

I hope this meets U in good health ¡¡¡

           HpS - ASA -- Pretty good. Our problem is being lazy and greedy for good food and good drink! Just starting a headache, so finish letters for today and go to Temple for first night of Festival! Thank you..

Gurudeva I am writing in order to ask for iur mercy. More than one year has passed since I do not do pujari in chosica. The authorities had already invited me to do service again in chosica but I told them that I first have to ask You.  So I am asking .. In the past  I used to do seva all Fridays from noon to the evening but now I have to be honest many things changed in a year I have other activities and not too much time in order to spend a whole day in chosica, but once a month I can go and try to help with some seva. Moreover during all this year I was helping with some laskmi for RMB every month.

Gurudeva is my desire to worship the deities again in chosica just once a month but I really need Their association so I am humbly asking U this request.

           HpS - As far as I know They are waiting for you: "Where have you been, you embecile (Smile)! Don't get tricked again, We really, really miss you so much!!!!"

Also I want to inform U that I do not have internet at home for Krsna arrangement my other cellphone had free internet so I was using it as a modem but now I do not have internet I am connecting to Japa Joe through my cellphone and U know that is really hard and stressing but I am doing it I do not have to much megas so if sometimes I go early it is because I want to save some megas for BV and so forth so please excuse me things are not the same since my dad is not with us but we continue with enthusiasm.

                HpS - He is waiting for you!

The last festival for Narasimha Caturdasi was a great success ¡¡¡ thank U for the blessings

I will do what U told me thank U Gurudeva

Always trying to be ur disciple

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada!.

*Levantando temprano (entre 3 y 7 am), fallando uno o dos días a la semana, y cantando el mayor número de rondas posible en ese horario (entre 10 y 16). Finalmente cantando 16 rondas diarias, y sólo debiendo un 10%.

*Gayatri Mantra aún tengo problemas con seguir estrictamente los horarios.

*Estudiando BVB.

*Cultivando Tulasi.

*No atendemos deidades aún.

-El principio de NO SEXO ILÍCITO dentro del matrimonio ha dado mucho que pensar, y mucho esfuerzo para evitarlo, ya que al parecer la BRUJA se vuelve más poderosa. Sinceramente, ANTES ERA MÁS FÁCIL!. Pero Su instrucción ha dado resultado, ya que estamos más regulados que antes.

Pregunto;

1-Grhastha Brahmacari ES POSIBLE?

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP. paoho. Vegitariano es posible? <img alt="devil" height="24" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="24" />    Claro, la estandard de Prabhupada entre hombre y mujer es el mas natural. Otros son basado en estimulation artificial. Relaciones para hijos para Krsna. Comer para servir a Radha-Krsna!

2-Existe un nivel intermedio o cercano, a la vida sexual sólo para tener hijos?. O quizá, un nivel que se pueda considerar, aceptable?

ASA - Claro, el estandard es Devaki y Vasudeva, pero hay estandard de Devahuti y Kardama. Despues hay mucho variedad. Basicamente estandard de Srila Prabhupda, ISKCON, es en el primero texto de NOI. Otros somos afuera de refugio de un disciplulo iniciado. No es seguro. Dejando su cuerpo en esta concienia es posible va a nacer como Indra con gran bigote y su esposo como Saccidevi (esposa de Indra) con una figura encantanta. Ooof! Y no resolvando la problema como Indra entonces ... . . .  Whoof!    Whoooof!    Whoooooooo...

Su instrucción es muy clara, por muchos años nunca me cuestioné éste tema, y la vida sexual dentro del matrimonio SIN MUCHA regulación, parecía algo normal dentro de ISKCON, pero, no es así. Ahora lo entiendo mejor.

Disculpe, pero yo pensé "ingenuamente" que no estaba tan mal, pero Usted me ha abierto los ojos.

Esperando Su respuesta.

Priya Sakhi Devi Dasi

ASA - Somos B'caris y aqui, entonces no podemos hablar tan bueno de estas cosas como buen Grhasthas alla. Busca Ashrama Gurus con su estimado esposo.

Adelante, pronto! Gusto superior!
