All Glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
All Glories to you Gurudev and please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet’s

                    HpS - ASA ---  AGTSP.  I think we have not yet got our lotus feet back. We are maybe sporting apple-blossom feet if we are lucky.

....First of all Gurudev I want to tell you that here in La Paz we had a great Sri Krsna Janmastami J, we had around 60 people in temple that day <img alt="smiley" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" title="smiley" />,

              HpS - Jaya!!!!  Wonderful.  In Houston, Texas they report 6,000 and Mayapura was probably like 25,000 just because more than that could not get through the doors. We had about 60 in Virginia also.  Was so nice, no?   Krsna taking birth in our life!

...I wonder if  Lord Sri Krsna will be happy with the effort that we made.

I also want to tell you Gurudev that we already started the Bhakti Sastri program, we are in the 4^th week, I so happy for that <img alt="smiley" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" title="smiley" />.

My question Gurudev is about the ekadasi, I’m a little confuse because some devotees told me that if we shave in ekadasi we break it, but some devotees told me that nothing happened if we shave in ekadasi . So that’s why I’m have this question in my mind for a long time.

                 HpS - Srila Prabhupada does not give any details like that so it must not be so important. Idea is to minimize necesitties of the body, so seems best to not use any time for shaving.

I also had a beautiful dream the other day, I dreamed with two big Krsna-Balarama deities, I woke up so happy that day, but I also was wondering the meaning of my dream.

                      HpS -  Ha!    Ha!   Why does it have to have any "meaning".  You were just with Krsna-Balarama and They were with you.  Maybe there is some meaning.  I don't know what it was.  In general it means that we are not happy being away from Goloka!!!

I hope your health it’s going well

Hare Krsna!

Jay Srila Prabhupada!!!

  ASA -  We attach a picture!

JAjajaja!! Olvidé poner mi nombre en la carta anterior. Lo siento. Soy Pablo Gallardo.

Muchas gracias por sus deseos, y con mi mujer esperamos que nuestro hijo sea efectivamente como Gilgamesh, Prometeo, o mejor aún Arjuna :D

Aprovecho además de reportar mi servicio en el templo. Hace varios meses que estoy ayudando a Om Kesavaya como su asistente en lo que son algunos temas administrativos del templo. Confeccionando actas de reuniones, y todo tipo de cosas. Además ayudo diariamente en la cocina del templo, y con mi mujer estamos tratando de impulsar la boutique del templo para poder sacarla adelante y lograr que rinda frutos concretos en bien del templo.

En estos momentos estoy leyendo los libros "Arquetipos e inconsciente colectivo" y "El hombre y sus símbolos" de Jung para las clases de la Universidad. Me han ayudado bastante. También aprovecho de darle las gracias por el link que me envió. 

De momento eso. Espero que se encuentre muy bien. Ambos -Josefina y yo- le mandamos muchos saludos

                 HpS - ASA - Jaya....  Muchas gracias a Vds.....    La auto-biorafia de Jung es super por que el explica el transfondo por lo cual el es escribiendo los otros libros.

Hare Krsna Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you for your responses to my recent inquiries.  Govinda's Buffet looks like it might open sometime in late September under the care of Kartikaya and Nandini this time.  We have over the past weekend moved into the non-brahmacari ashram across the street from Radha Govinda Mandir.  I have to work still, and I am not so sure I would feel comfortable in the other ashram as I may take up grihasta more formally several years from now, more properly this time, after initiation and under your guidance and instruction.  That is more my nature, for now at least.

Maharaja, I apologize for my impatience.  It may have been almost 11 long years, but the formality must still be there.  A very powerful anartha of suicide which has come up since my youth had returned again and I was feeling pains of being outside of initiated life.  Very thankfully this time that it came up I found just how to remove it and it is now gone forever.  It was like a painful stone buried in my heart, but now I feel liberated.  I am now very satisfied and can better enjoy inquiring submissively while I follow your instruction until the proper time has come.  I feel inspired to say it would be nice to spend more time in your association before then, by your mercy, though I work so I may have difficulty doing so.  Maybe  after some time I will be able to travel.

Hare Krsna Maharaja,

Hoping to become,
Your servant,
Bhakta David II

----------  HpS - ASA -  Jaya.  AGTSP.   thank you so much for the news from Srila Prabhupada's new badarika ashrama...   is so nice to think of the devotees and the property.  yesssss....  take the ashrama, work-situation, lightly.  most important thing is building your world around 16-enthusiastic rounds daily and 4-principles strictly.  hare krsna / hare rama.   suicide is to give up the human body and who knows where we go next.  smaaaasching   our nice car.

Hare Krishna!!!

Todas las glorias a Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Todas las glorias a usted Gurumaharaja.

            hPS - asa -  Mercemos un poco glorias.  Todos a Srila Prabhupada.

PAMHO.

Espero se encuentre bien al recibir el presente reporte

Seguimos 16 rondas estables, 4 principios estrictos, leyendo Bhagabad-Gita y las enseñansas del señor Caitanya. Como usted no lo indico cambiamos un poco el altar, Radha-Krishna más grande y flores frescas.

                  ASA - Roban las flores de los vecinos??? 

Una madre de acá de Uruapan tiene unas tierras que nos presto para sembrar vegetales y en donde trabajo me dieron semillas para plantar (zanahorias, aselgas, rabanos y betabel) la madre ya tiene maíz, carambolo y guayabas, pensamos tambien plantar algunos aguacates, que es lo que más se da acá en Uruapan.

..........  Super

...Los domingos depues de Mangala aratik nos vamos con los devotos para preparar la tierra.

Con sus bendiciones y la misericordia de Krishna pronto tendremos vegetales organicos para preparar prasadama [Bhoga] y ofrecer a Sri krishna.

por el momento me despido esperando su pronta visita a Mexico

Su aspirante a sirviente

              HpS - ASA -  Muy bien.  Puede animar otros hacer la misma. Honestamente hay mucho terreno disponible para jardines para Krsna.  Puede cantar Hare Krsna mientras trabajan juntos.
