Question about instruction.

All Glories to Sri Sri Gauranga Nitiananda

All Glories to HDG A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada!!!

All Glories to you!

All Glories to devotees.

Please accept my humble obeisances at your sacred feet.

Guru Maharaja, I write to you sincerely without any desire to contradict your instruction. I want to be honest as a disciple and for the trust you have bestowed upon me. I hope that you do not consider this to be an offense, my attempt to understand your sacred instructions. You have suggested that I prepare for my second initiation on two ocassions, the first via a letter on your blog saying I should prepare which I interpreted as for the future, and another instance on Japa Joe indicating that this would be in January. I want you to know that I am not prepared for my second initiation. I complete the vow of my first initiation and try to be a suitable student. Personally, I think that my effort is not sufficient to receive your mercy, but if you in your infinite mercy, decide that this would be the best for me then I will accept it without hesitation. I wanted to be clear with you. More than anyone else you know what is in my heart. I will do my best, the rest will depend on Krsna and HDG A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Please excuse my letter and I hope that it is clear that I will never doubt any of your instructions. I will only try to be sincere with you just like the first time when we came into contact.

Thank you for your time.

Your aspiring servent,

Rati Manjari Devi Dasi

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP. When do you usually get up each morning? What do you do before 10AM?

4 principios it´s okayyy!

HARI BOLO!

HpS - ASA - Jaya Santa Tersa de la Conciencia de Krsna! translate.google.com You should get local Siksa-gurus. You should develop a nice collection of devotees, men, women, who see you on a daily basis, frequently, and can then give you advice on seeing the details of your character.

Other than that what about reading Caitanya-caritamrta? We will be in BsAs on New Year's day! How is Maha-hari Das?

Reporte desde Brazil

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj, todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a Sri Guru y Gouranga.

Estoy muy contenta de poder escribirle.Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.Espero usted este muy bien de salud , listo para los viajes .

Querido Gurudev Le envio mi reporte .. Mi japa , 4 principios y mangala aratik estan muy bien . El seminário ya termino ; fue muy completo, uma experiência muy marcante em mi vida o en mis vidas .Estoy muy agradecida por La misericórdia de Sri Guru y de Srimate Radharani..La asociacion com Maharaj Dhanvantari y otros lideres fue muy maravillosa y tambein la experiencia que vivimos com las devotas .

Gurudev, yo Le pregunte a Maharaj como me veia para iniciarme y me dijo que El me veia lista,y que podria mandarle uma carta a usted describiendo mi estado. No se que opina Usted? Yo canto mis rondas hace 1 anio y médio y mis princípios estan bien fijos.

HpS - ASA - USE translate.google.com . We didn't get Maharaja's letters!!! If you have been following nicely for one year and you are honestly convinced that you can do this for your whole life under normal circumstances as an austerity for your purification so that you can return to your normal position in Goloka, then O.K. take first initiation! ! Back Home! Back to Godhead!

Outro tema es que ya le envie la carta con la invitacion cerca Del 10 de sept. Espero llegue antes de que usted se vaya , ya que El correo es bien lento...

ASA - Yes, we got it. It was very beautiful and we showed it to many people! That was yesterday. Congratulations! Austerity for Krsna! Austerity for your Father and Mother!

Ahora voy a volver a Argentina el 15 de octubre, pienso volver a Córdoba , organizarme con La congregacion ( córdoba capital y tras la sierra); continuar los estúdios personalmente como sadhana y tambein en cursos con los devotos;levantarme temprano a cantar mi japa y adorar las deidades ; estudiar en La facultad (arquitectura )

HpS - Ahhh! This could be nice, but look for good professors. Your training may make you and architect or lead you to some related field. One year after first initiation you may have a clear idea about Grhastha ashrama.

; voy a pasar um tiempo com mi madre y hermano viviendo ya que voy a estar em un cuarto separado de la casa donde estare sola y va a ser bueno para ellos ayudarlos . Mi madre esta muy a fin a La filosofia vaisnava y esta muy agradecida .. igual sera como Krishna desee.Tambien pretendo predicar dentro de lo que sepa , con sankirtan y vere como puedo hacer com los devotos ; córdoba es uma ciudad universitaria y hay tambien mucho movimiento, diversos temas, tampoco hay templo o algun centro cultural (en La capital).. entonces pienso se puede hacer bastante por encuanto este ahi.

HpS - And I think there is good devotee association there. Param-padam does not live too far away, no?

Entonces espero poder servir lo cual es un desafio constante.Vamos a ver que pasa, pero mi parte va a estar con seguridad.

Tambien le cuento que aprove el examen internacional com 85, era fácil , solo que en esos momentos decisivos me agarra inseguridad.. pero esto me esta pasando ahora , no se porque... Um gran obstáculo pero tiene solucion,em este momento para mi todo tiene mucho peso. Pero estoy mejorando Gurudev .Ahora cuando llegue voy a poder asistir a japa Joe ,una gran misericórdia, y la culminacion de todos los seminarios.. este fue el comienzo. .. Aqui le envio una foto del Guru puja que hice el dia de Janmastami, no pude colocar otra de las deidades...

Muchas gracias por SUS instrucciones ,su ejemplo, por acompañarnos , por conectarnos a Krishna y por darle todo a Krishna.Su aspirante Yemila.

HpS - So, so, so, so, so nice to hear from you Srta. Yemila. I hope we see you when we are in Argentina. You could take initiation then.

haribol.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All Glories to you.

Please accept my humble obeisances. Haribolo Maharaja,

I am chanting 16 daily rounds and doing decoration service at "Dasanudasa" Festival here at Argentina mandire. One Sunday per month I do administrative service in temple, collecting money to help temple expenses, I do also offer my assitance at Lila Mohini´s Nama Hatta ,and keep assisting to Bhakti Yoga introduction course (This is last module, then I´ll begin Disciple course).

To answer to your question in last letter, I do actually live with my boyfriend (We´re together for 4 years) and my family is integrated by my mom and 6 brothers, the little ones usually go to Jiva Goswami´s house, to see deities there (We´d live just half block of distance from Gupta Vrndavana dham , in Bernal town , Buenos Aires).

Bhakti Yoga introduction course is given by Maha Hari Das. I´ve meet you in 2009, during Bs.As Ratha Yatra, and since that moment I felt in my heart that you´ll be my Guru, but just since a few I´d really understood the importance of having a Guru .

I´ve spoke with Temple president (Maha Hari Das) and approve the formal exam, and he told me that I had his recommendation, and that I should write you to ask for your shelter (Siksa). If it´s possible and your desire, please let me know an email address where Maha Hari Das can send you the recommendation letter.

I hope you´re being in good healt Maharaja, best wishes.

Bhaktin Lara

HpS - ASA - AGTSP..... Very nice letter. Why not formalize the marriage relation? I'm surprised that Maha-hari Das would send a letter of recomendation without formalizing the marriage. This is a requirement from the GBC body and Guna-grahi Swami is so strict about this. Is there some legal problem? It seems like a formality, but not without meaning. What is your husbands name? Is he also chanting rounds? Are you all following four principles in your daily life???
