ASA - Jaya! AGTSP. paoho. Yes, SKype is nice, but is also so important to post news here. Your news is very nice. This is new for us a lot. What about NIMSAR? There was going to be an "Identity" meeting with your CMDD, RDD et al and then you were going to contact us after you discussed what were the purposes, members etc of NIMSAR. We called LAD. Health is so much better. We try to get computer for him, internet! Really Krsna wants us to be fully engaged to our limit!
SUch nice fotos!!!!
Dear Guru Maharaj:
Please accept my most humble dandavata pranama. Jaya Srila Prabhupada and Jaya ASA, NIOS, and Bhati!
I will be returning to the USA in the end of June.
HpS - Jaya! AGTSP... We will be in Denver then. 3 July we go to New Biharvan!
My parents are asking me to continue the treatment prescribed by Vaidya Nahar Singh of Hodal, a town which is 1 hour by car from Vrindavan. He is a nadi-vaidya (Ayurvedic doctor who diagnoses diseases through the pulse) and has Sanskrit Ayurvedic books based on which he cures many diseases. Nahar Singh has said that his treatment will continue for at least 10 months for me and he can only give one month's medicine at a time. However, I cannot stay in India that long as my Tulane professor is awaiting my starting the postdoc. My dilemma is that my mother wants me to stay in India indefinitely till I get treated, however, I have promised my Tulane professor that I will start the job in end of June.
Maharaj, you are so merciful for giving pearls of wisdom to us. It is a very interesting point that you mentioned - Why not get to Sannyasa??? Kardama Muni did it? It is based on Yukta vairagya not impersonal renunciation. Renounce to become more intimate with everyone! - This is something I never thought about. I always thought that this stage is always going to be too advanced for me. However, you have clarified my vision that when a Vaisnava performs tyaga, they don't give it up, but they give up the desire to enjoy it. We need to renounce our desire to enjoy the world. The sannyasi gives up one small family to make the whole world his family.
Maharaj, sometimes I feel that I am a theoretical devotee in the sense that it is easy for me to talk about the theory but bringing it into practice is so difficult. It is so difficult to give up the desire for enjoyment.
Aja
HpS - ASA -- Ha! Ha! Ha! We see that a lot of our "material" enjoyment is just natural demands of the sense. We think we are sleeping too much, but it is not a fact. We have a different life and body than Rupa Goswami. The thing is too purify our enjoyment. Probably there is good reason why we are addicted to a certain type of movies or sport etc. Find out what it is and purify the attachemnt, no?
2. Medicine or PhD. Why not ask the Doctor?????
Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Goura Nitay!!!!!
Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!!
Todas las Glorias a sus pies de loto querido Gurudeva!!!!!
HpS - ASA - Lodo, no loto. Posible pies de manzana.
Espero se encuentre usted muy bien Gurudeva, Nrsimhadeva proteja cada uno de sus pasos!!! Buenas noticias!!! Esta semana hable con P. Om Kesavaya y me dijo que este año podría iniciarme con usted J así que me estoy preparando para dar la prueba de iniciación a fin de mes, y si Radha y Nitay quieren podré iniciarme para cuando nos visite, estoy muy agradecida de poder tener esta bendición, es algo que he deseado hace mucho tiempo…. Les agradezco a todos a Srila Prabhupada, a los devotos, a GouraNitay, a la hermosa Radharani y a usted por esta misericordia!!!
Nuestro reporte
16 rondas diarias / 4 principios estrictos, mangalarati 3 veces a la semana, y todos los días Govinda con las deidades, lectura de los libros de SP, servicio semanal en el templo, buena asociación de amistad con los devotos, seguimos distribuyendo prasadam a todos los que se nos cruzan por el camino… este tiempo ha sido intenso, no he tenido mucho tiempo, mucho trabajo, por lo que no pude seguir con el Bhakti Sastri intensivo, así que tomare el próximo curso que no es tan intenso, por ahora estamos estudiando con el material que nos dieron en el curso….este tiempo hemos dejado muchas cosas que no nos sirven atrás y estamos tomando aquellas que pueden ayudar en nuestra vida espiritual…
La construcción del templo va avanzando, se mantiene el programa de sankirtan y harinam, pronto se hará un 24 hrs. Kirtan, hay pocos devotos viviendo en templo, así que necesitan mucho apoyo de todos los que viven afuera….lo extrañamos mucho!!!! Usted nos inspira a todos a ser más humildes y más cooperadores, a no dejarnos llevar por el tonto orgullo, a respetar a cada devoto, y a cuidar de ellos, usted Gurudev, va mostrándonos el camino con su ejemplo y dedicación, el camino que Srila Prabhupada nos dejo a todos nosotros para volver de vuelta a casa…. Y así poder jugar todos como locos, llenos de amor junto a RadhaKrishna!!!!
Mis más humildes reverencias Gurudeva!!!
Se despide quien aspira a recibir su misericordia y ser digna de ella

HpS - ASA - Jaya! Muy bien! TlgaSP! Muy bien. Mangala arati 4-veces cada semana????? Realmente BhSastri no es necesario hasta segunda iniciacion, pero si puede realizar no hay perdido! Que significa, "La construcción del templo va avanzando"... eso es en Maipu??
TLGSP,Maharaj, es increible la infinita misericordia de Krishna, por medio de su devoto puro Prabhupada, que rego las semillas de la devocion, por estos bajos lugares de occidente,
el ver ahora florecer sus semillas en los maestros espirituales, que con su infinito amor, dedicacion y abnegacion de sacrificado trabajo nos guian por este complicado mundo material,
es como asirse a un bote de salvacion ,en un turbulento oceano donde usted es el que conduce y nos guia, me siento muy pequeña e insignificante ante tantos adelantos y progresos de otros reportes. por todo el mundo,es inspirativo.
Las fuentes que tenemos para hacer los retiros espirituales, son de publicidad en volantes, que ponemos en los restaurantes de Govinda ;los devotos por aqui estan bien, nos reunimos en las celebraciones aqui en el templo-casa y los domingos se reunen donde la madre Madhavi, aqui continuamos con el sadhnana completo, levantandonos a las 4 a.m,ansiando su misericordiosa visita en octubre, por favor denos su bendicion en este camino, intentando servirle: Anka
HpS - Gracias. TlgaSP. Que pasa con El Citta-hari Das. Ninguna noticia de el.... El restaurante de Payonidhi Swami en Ferrenafe abierto? Noticias de Aja-satru Das? Hijos de M. Madhavi y Payo-nidhi son bien????
Hare Krisna Gurudev, please accept my humble obeisances, dandavats. All glories to Sirla Prabhupada (my new Grand Father now).
Thousands of thanks to accept me as your disciple. I only hope to give you all better things, my service, etc ... Thank you again to listen me and answer to my silly questions.
When i asked you about how can i help you my service with, you replied me that in your university project. But i didn't ask what specific thing. Might you want to answer me more specifically. I'm so sorry because i don't speak english very well and i wished talk more with you face to face. It's more easy fo me writing.
There're more things to do in madrid and arround the world (May be ...).
The last days have been the most amazing of my life (40 years old of life).
I could not say you good bye, but Carcika devi dasi and me try to go to New Vrajamandala.
Now let me put the links of some videos of yours conferences and clases in Madrid for other devotees:
Please, rest in New Vrajamandala.
Thank you for all, Gurudev. At your lotus feet.
Your newborn servant, Dandava das.
HpS - ASA - TlgaSP... Thank you... Was nice to see you in New Vraja. also. The university programs we see in three categories: 1) With Dr. Samaresh and India, 2) USA which is very slow now, 3) South America which was described in a recent letter und the filter of Calendar Development. In Madrid again, it seems the best thing is just to try to get to know the devotees then on that basis see how you can help.
