Dear Gurudev,
I´m Trivikrama das from chile, and im writing to you because i want to tell you about the relationship that I have now with Bhaktin Valentina Silva, we have de approbation of her parents, but for us the most important approbation is yours, we know each other for a long time as friends.
 
My service is cooking for the deities on Saturdays , for more than 6 months. Valentina’s service was washing the kitchen after Prabhupada’s feast at first, but then because of changes in her classes she is now helping me cooking on Saturdays.
Im working as graphic designer in a company of sport´s graphics like motocross, rally and thing like that.
Valentina is finishing the school, and preparing a test to enter to architecture career.
 
We wait for your response
our sincere obeisances,
Learning to serve,
 
 Trivikrama Das and Valentina Silva
               HpS -  Jaya!    AgtSP....     paoho....    Sounds very nice.   We hope you can know each other and be friends for many more years also, even in your journey back to Krsna!!!...     How is your Sadhana bhakti???  We are just leaving for EEUU!!!

Needing instruction

Hare Krishna,

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

            HpS - ASA -  Jaya!   AGTSP!!!

Maharaja, how are you feeling?
             HpS - ASA - With my fingers, and you?

 

How are your travels?
             HpS - ASA - Heaven, Hell and Earthly Realms

Any inspiring thoughts?
              ASA - If you are going to travel best just to travel back to Goloka!

Things are better here in Utah. I took an enormous dip into material life recently. I became very involved with work and money and for some time was not chanting japa. It is hard to admit. I have had some inspiring dreams that shook me up and made me realize how poorly I was doing, and am now back in a regular flow of 16 rounds.
             ASA - Make a practical calculation of how many rounds you missed and then gradually catch them up?!

I feel strongly that I need formal rules set in place. I cannot manage my spiritual life on my own. I wrote to Sri Hari Prabhu, he always has very nice things to say. I am hoping he will give me bold critisism and clear guidelines to move forward. What critisizm or guidelines would you suggest???
            ASA - You're going to become a demigod in your next life and have good food, great drinks and super sports and the association of many pretty and adoring wives, unless you do this Japa vrata regularly and get initiated in a reasonable amount of time!

I have much more respect for grhastas now than I ever have. It is constantly growing.

We are moving forward with the wedding plans for August 30th here in Spanish Fork, UT. Do you think there is any room in your schedule/travels to come here during that time?
            ASA -  It's not impossible but I don't know!            This is our last night in Europe!  Then we are back in USA after 4-months!!!   Let us stay in touch!!

Your servant,

Bhakta Adrian
              HpS - ASA - It's very nice hearing from you.   Don't lose sight of the goal.  Just keep the Japa going well and let the ups and downs of material life come and go.  Basically you will see the spiritual life automatically makes the best basic adjustment for material results also!              Please write again in a little while with news of the Yatra also!

Reporte de Bhaktin Zareth, México

12 years, 1 month ago by zareth bhaktin in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias, Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada. Todas las glorias a usted.

Como reporte de Sadhana continuamos con el canto de 16 rondas diarias y 4 principios, 2 días a la semana haciendo programa de Mangala-arati e n casa y 1 vez a la semana en el templo.

                   asa -   HOOOO!    HOOOO!  JAYA SRILA PRABHUPADA, JAYA SRILA PRABHUPADA!

......Continúo con el servicio en la Boutique Radhe del templo los fines de semana,

                        ASA -   SELL IT ALL!

.....ahora con el servicio de ayudar en Raja Bhoga los lunes. Sábados estoy estudiando Ingles por la mañana y entre semana  Alemán. .....  

Desde el mes de Febrero junto a la madre Govardhanesvari dd y Prabhu Ricardo quien produjo el audiolibro de la madre Jambavati, tuvimos el deseo de ayudar a la organización de Ratha Yatra, participando en las juntas y organizando reuniones dominicales de la Comunidad Artística de ISKCON México, con todo esto  se pudo organizar 2 Kermeses Artísticas en el templo con las que se colecto $15,570 pesos  y también el Comité de Ratha Yatra nos apoyó por primera vez con 15 mil pesos.

Gracias a la infinita inspiración que usted y  Srila Prabhupada  nos brinda, este año se logró tener una escenografía y una programación del Escenario, entre los que hubo Danza Odissi por parte de la Embajada de la India y la obra de Teatro Alicia en el país de las Maravillas donde  la Madre Asta Sakhi fue Directora General y la cual fue un gran éxito.

Se logró hacer un área de Talleres dados por devotos, entre los cuales hubo: Demostración de Conciencia de Krishna en Casa dado por Prabhu Amara D y Madre Apavrita DD; Como hacer un Rangoli por parte de Prabhu Angada D y Malini DD; una clase de cocina de Prabhu Udharana, entre otras cosas.

Por primera vez este año Ratha Yatra tiene una Página de internet oficial: www.rathayatramexico.com

La cual fue hecha Prabhu Hari el hijo de Prabhu Udharana y en la cual tuve la misericordia de poder ayudar en la presentación de artistas, ojala pueda visitarla y poder recibir sus recomendaciones de cómo mejorarla. 

Hay un proyecto de un espacio Multimedia donde queremos proyectar Documentales y Videos de ISKCON, y al mismo tiempo producir proyectos de Audio y Video en México. Aún tenemos que mejorar  y trabajar más en esto.  Ha sido muy grato poder servir a los Devotos tan de cerca y ayudar a organizar un festival como Ratha Yatra, Gurudeva pido sus bendiciones para poder seguir sirviendo de cerca a los devotos sea donde me encuentre.

Esperamos ansiosos su visita en México Mandir. Le adjunto algunas fotos cortesia de Prabhu Nimai.

Perdone por favor las ofensas. Intentando ser su Sirviente Bhaktin Zareth.

                 ASA -  OINK!    OINK!!!  WHOOP!    wHOOp!!!    ESPERAMOS VER BUENAS PELICULAS DE MEJICO, DESPUES DE VOLVER A EEUU VIERNES!!!!!!         !!!       CINE ME(JI CO,,,     JI CO,,,,  JO CO)!

Radha-kunda Service - Radha-carana DD - Tunga-vidya DD

     AGTSP!      paoho.   We received a nice hand written letter from Radha-carana Devi Dasi in Vrndavana. She is from Panama but has got the mercy of staying in Vrndavana Dhama for a long time now!!!   (What has happened with Cakori Radha, Vrnda, Prabhu Ji?)...     We are not sure the address of internet where we sent the answer is correct so we are posting here also.  Contains news about chance to serve Radha kunda:


AGTSP    Esteemed Radha-carana Devi Dasi and Varuthapa Ranganatha Dasan et al,

Paoho.   We are in Barcelona and Spain for the last day.  Thank you Mataji for the nice letter. We looked at it with devotee here and appreciated it very much.  I don't know if this address still works so we will publish this on the Blog also.  Please write to the Blog with your news.    1)  Yes, seems fine for us if you are painting Silas if you are following your initiation vows strictly and the propietors of the Silas are also following.   2)  Thank you for the drawing of Hanuman and the picture of him fighting with Ravana's uncle.  I wonder where this story is from??     3) You news of Radha kunda is super.   We envy you and Tunga-vidya Devi Dasi that you can stay there.  Maybe after 5 or 6 years we will also be able to stay there and do some service.        You mentioned that you are starting a Radha-kunda cleaning project and you need equipment and then devotees can help when they come.  How should devotees help with donations for the equipment?  What do you need?            Please answer the letter on the Blog!         Please go on with your wonderful journey!!!!!
