All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to the Sankirtan movement

Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva.

Please accept my humble obeisances, I hope your health is well. And your preaching projects are very well.

After of mercy initiation Harinama every passing day, I realize I never will finish paying him great compassion for this soul that had so fallen, for now, I can´t thank him finish. Gurudeva thank you very much for everything. Each round I check that I can accompany you in each mahamantra.

Chanting 16 rounds and following four principles every day, continued to live in the temple and learning to help you on new services, cooking some offering every day for their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Madan Gopal. Last week I cooked Raja Bhoga for the first time and the second time I cooked in Ekadasi, I was exciting but at the same time he was very scared, I realized that the love and blessings all of the Vaishnavas makes these offerings are well and to time.

      HpS - AGTSP. paoho. Very nice to hear from you. Whatever we cook for Krsna and Radharani is checked by Srila Prabhupada, Parampara, M. Yasoda before it reaches Them, no? And any adjustments necessary are made!

I continue to study English, which increasingly is improving, step by step. Also the German, this will slow down. Some days I can hardly get up early, but the company of the devotees, I can do it, I've learned that I don´t want to live away from the devotees, myself am very weak and I tend to coddle. So to me, you are a disciple of Srila Prabhupada very strong and determined that inspires me to fight every day, you are unstoppable.

                HpS - Oooof!   We get stopped by good food and good drink at times.

It has started the marathon December, I participate from serving in the temple. At this time I am home, my mom has been sick a bit and has come to care. She asks her Blessings to achieve recover quickly together we are reading Prabhupada in Radha-Damodara, Krishna book and The Glories of Srimati Radharani.

                HpS - AGTSP. I get bad fevers like every 7-years. Can barely walk to the bathroom for a few days, but it seems like Krsna's mercy. Almost like death and I can see how we are making progress over each 7-years. Disease can also be nice.

Hare Krishna, Jaya Srila Prabhupada. His attempt to servant Satya Bhama-dd.

Hare Krsna Gurumaharaj.

Pamho agtSP

Hope you received the previous mail regarding a possible relationship with XYZ prabhu. Guru Maharaja, I would like to clarify on a point. Your blessing and authorization are very important for me to go ahead with this relationship. I have even told Prabhu that we can go ahead with this relationship ONLY if you, Gurumaharaj, give us your full blessings and permission.
I am waiting for your guidance.
Thank you
your spiritual daughter

Esteemed ABC Devi Dasi, DEF Das et al,

Hare Krsna. This is Gita-jayanti. I guess a good day to fix the basic ground rules for the Battle of Kuruksetra. <img alt="*:) happy" src="https://s.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo1.gif" />

Following what I know of Srila Prabhupada's advice on these matters I would suggest that you write down what you and XYZ Prabhu expect from your relationship, how you will relate (eg. going or not going to the store alone for service to Deities) and fix a time limit for this first phase. For example, Prabhu and myself will spend some time talking about our particular interests and attachments, get good association and perspective by talking together with proper devotees for two months and then we will decide what to do next.

It sounds very nice to me.

As described above we would very enthusiastically approve. Have the authorities approve and even sign a copy of the above agreement and send a copy to us and any others you think might be nice.

Of course, you know, we all know we are dealing with fire and ghee, so having strong clear contracts and association in these matters can lead to a WONDERFUL result.

I would suggest that you personally contact Mother Uttama Devi Dasi form Canada. Do you know her?  She is wonderful person. Her and her husband are part of the Grhastha Vision Team and they have wonderful help in these matters.

For example, as I understand there are online questionaires from Christian groups that prospective partners can take and then it gives you very nice analysis of your prospectives as partners.

For example it might tell some one that they have very good and common spiritual values and very good parenting skills but horrible conflict resolution skills.

So, then you need to get some education on how to deal with conflicts eg. involve other family members.

I would suggest you read SB Chapters 21, 22 and 23 of the third canto together. Incredible advice from Srila Prabhupada about Grhastha ashrama.

Finally, we will post this on the Blog with all possible references and indications to you and XYZ Prabhu removed so that we can answer this question in general one time rather than 45-times.

Congratulations Miss ABC Devi Dasi. Maybe we will be able to attend your wedding. <img alt="*:) happy" src="https://s.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo1.gif" />

Hare Krishna Gurudev, por favor acepte mis reverencias; todas las glorias a srila Prabhupada y los vaisnavas .

                         ASA - HpS - ! TlgaSP!!!!!!!!    Muy bien oir de Vd!  Somos bien. Conciente de nuestra cambio de cuerpo y esperando listo como siempre ser conectado con el sericio de Nandanandana!

Espero su salud este bien, estoy muy ansiosa por su llegada a Arg... :)

Le cuento que no dejo la diciplina, mi brahma muhurta sigue cada vez mas firme,

            .Santa Yemila de la Conciencia. !..

...soy infeliz sin eso y sin poder leer y estudiar la sastra. Estoy adaptando y mejorando aun el lugar en donde voy a estar, preparando mi altar para recibir las deidades de Goura Nitay ... las cuales espero con mucho deseo.

                 ... esta en casa con sus Padres, no? Pienso son buenas personas si puede mantener muy bien su servicio.

Tambien cuido a Tulasi, es bien chiquita la sembre apenas llegue y me hace muy bien que este cerca mio y me pueda ocupar.

               Hmmm? A veces ella creciendo muy alta, 2-metros, mas!!!   Casada con un Saligram sila unico.

Mis 4 pincipios estan muy bien , cada vez mas convencidos .

Conoci a Radha japa, una devota muyy divina , super austera , divina... espero poder aprender barat natyam junto a ella y

              ... si, ella hablando de Vd. pienso Vds son como hermanas. <img alt="smiley" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" title="smiley" />

...espero poder ayudarlos en lo que necesiten.Todos los dias a las 4.00 am nos sonamos el telefono por las dudas no nos quedemos dormidas para asitir al pedido de GM.

Ya empece la facultad, el plan es predicar, me siento incapaz pero no   tengo derecho a eso, mientras tanto distribuiré libros a partir de enero cuando los adquiera.

El ratha yatra en Cordoba por la cuidad universitaria fue un exito me inspiro y dio mucha fuerza,  por favor Gm espero poder servir bien a los vaisnavas.

Tambien le cuento que intento no perder tiempo y apenas puedo memorizo versos. Nunca le conte que durante el seminario consegui aprender todos los versos (56), fue duro porque los aprendia mientras iva a sankirtan en el colectivo, pero genial porque le encontre un buen uso a la memoria..y supere mis justificativos y preconceptos.

Con respecto a japa joe , estoy reparando mi tablet porque por el momento esta la computadora de la casa y no puedo hablar porque despierto a las personas, pero si puedo oirlos bien.

Muchas gracias GM por su infinita misericordia y asociacion ;por su proteccion tambien.. Hare Krishna, mis reverencias , muchas reverencias. Que el Señor lo proteja mucho.

Su sierva yemila de cordoba.

                   asa - que significa su nombre? que hacen sus padres, familia. quienes son los devotos en cordoba? un festival para el publico cada mez? un buen desfile de sankirtan con banderas, galletas, libros?

en la escuela puede "invent" muchas maneras predicar muy nuevos. poco a poco. es diferente del calle. convertir todo la escuela. tiene que investigar, investigar, investigar cuales son los posibilidades.

Hare Krsna H.H. Hanumat Presaka Swami maharaj

please accept my humble obeisances,

all glory to Srila Prabhupada and Gouranga

I have not sent a letter in a while; I am still here in Boise residing with my grandparents Robert & Anita Connor. I'm also grateful they are willing to accept me despite their advanced age; and even better tolerate any devotional activities. My fathers case is still pending and my mother is somehow doing fine by herself out in Europe. It's what she always wanted and probably needed ~

I admit maharaj I have not been doing much more devotional activities outside of coming to the temple every Sunday and occasionally associating with Sri Arjun and Sri Hari dasa, I've been more focused on college education for next years spring semester at BSU. Luckily I've taken the first step and got my GED this October, but then now there's many more steps (Taking ACT or SAT test, more Writing and Math tests to qualify for classes, etc) Sadly I don't happen to be the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to maths. So I don't feel very confident about taking more tests past the GED until I can re-iterate on algebra by taking a class. Because I'm already so late on getting registered full-time for BSU, my grandparents wanted me to consider community college for next spring (cheaper, no required ACT/SAT or tests past the GED as far as I know..) THEN transfer as a full-time student to Boise State. Next January the Shoshone Bannock native indian tribe can also assist me with possibly getting financial assistance because I was born part native indian.

Otherwise all the academic nonsense I humbly wanted to ask some questions Maharaj,

My grandmother is a very kind hardworking woman that is strongly Catholic faith based like her sister. I can't remember a day she hasn't been there to help my mother, father or help raise me and my siblings when in dire straits. Even now she is very caring & supportive and my grandfather and her let me live here peacefully. But she still like most people nowadays, cooks and eats meat. What does this mean for her Karma or her next life? Its hard to imagine her becoming an animal or going to a lower plane, etc..

      HpS - AGTSP.   Paoho.   Hmmm?  Prabhupada says that we can see this "compassion" even in lower species like the wolves. They feel sympathetic for the pain in other wolves. remain faithfull to marriage relations etc. It maybe mostly a thing controled by the laws of nature S.B. 5.18.12 with nor much personal credit. I don't know the details. Do they know where the meat comes from?

What can I do for my siblings? They are with my other grandparents have to eat meat and other things. Of course my brother Ryan and sister Claire don't so much mind it anymore, but my youngest sister Cara feels subjected. I feel somewhat guilty that this is my fault and I cannot really assist her after the whole Europe carousel. She was attached to krsna-consciousness.

         HpS - Why do you think it is your fault? Of course, Prahlada Maharaja was subjected to a terrific monster as a care-taker but he just chanted Hare Krsna and was O.K. It is kind of like that. Even if we can't do good 100% we can definitely make some positive contribution to our situation. BG 6 says, "One who does good my friend is never overcome by evil".

your fallen servant,

Reilly G..

HpS - No rounds???????? ??    Reilly G!!!

Todas las Glorias A Sri Sri Goura Nitai

Todas las Glorias A Srila Prabhupada

Todas Las Glorias A usted Su Santidad HPS

Querido Gurudev:

Esperando que todo marche bien y que su salud este estable.

Mi reporte de sadhana no cambia mucho desde la ultima vez que le escribi, me levanto a las 5:30 am, leo el SB a diario, canto 17 rondas a diario, sigo estrictamente los 4 principios, por las tardes leo el BG y en la noche estoy leyendo karma, samsara y el tiempo, tambien un poco el Krishna Book, bueno y a diario con mi hijo vemos mangal arati de mayapur( aca es de noche).

Mi servicio es ayudante de pujari ,cambie el horario para los sabados en la tarde, trato de ir los sabados y domingos para asi tener mayor asociacion con los devotos y poder escuchar las clases.

En este tiempo he tratado de aprender muchas cosas, pero un me cuesta, pero si siento que cada dia me aferro mas a mis rondas, tambien trato de ser tolerante y compasiva con mi entorno y eso es algo dificil para alguien como yo llena de ego, tambien me he dado cuenta que mi corazon esta lleno de prejuicios, pero estoy trabajando dia a dia por superar estas cosas..... solo puedo decir que quiero servir a Krishna y a usted donde sea y como sea.      Ya espero con gran ansiedad que venga y poder contar solo con un granito de su infinita misericordia y que me pueda ayudar a salir de esta ignorancia.

Necesito mejorar mi conciencia al momento de hacer mi servicio, al momento de cantar mis rondas , en el momento que medito en usted..... aun asi creo que recibo mucha misericordia del Señor dia a dia y eso me motiva a seguir con felicidad y entusiasmo el camino de la conciencia de Krishna.

le pido perdon por todas mis ofensas, aun no aprendo nada, pero solo quiero servirlo

oink!! oink!! esperando instrucciones, se despide de usted 

Bhaktin Carolina Castro (Maipu)

PD: le envio fotos de mi hijo, de mis abuelos y mias....... Jay Gurudev!!!! :)

                 HpS - TlgSP.  Muy bien!!!  Pero otra vez, como hace su dia? Vendiendo Prasadam?  Escuela.  Gracias los fotos.  Nos vemos despues de 1 - Enero!
