4 Principles and 16 rounds. 

Hare Krishna dear Maharaj, since u'been gone I feel so much enthusiasm w/my spiritual life, You reminded me of who I really am, an eternal servant of Krishna. I'm very grateful to you, thanks you very much. You are a great inspiration to me, I hope someday to serve you, and continue to do in life after life. 

Here(Chile), in Govardhan's day, I asked if I could take refuge in you, we where with Prabhu Patrak Das, and Bhaktin Andrea, and you told me that it was okay, and "yes", and I had to write continuously on the blog, so we can have a formal relation. One day before you will travel to Peru, Prabhu Om Kesavaya Das told me that I was no longer a refugee in you, he doesn't tell me about the reasons of that, for many days i was very bad, very sad, trying to understand what happens... I realized that Krishna does this, he knows why he does things, and actually, I'm not one to question the decisions of You Maharaj, or the temple authorities, Krishna acts and I can only surrender to his will.
But i have to say you, that I can not understand how the Prabhu Om Kesavaya Das, told me things, because something that is so important to me,  has told me in the temple hall, unprepared, so arrogant, and telling that I was not refugee and could not call you "Guru Maharaj", without concise arguments to understand what had happened. It is for this reason that I was so affected, and I've taken so long to assimilate it, makes me very sad the way I was told this.  It is the messenger that has produced me this upset, but not the message. 
I talked with the president of the Temple, Prabhu Amara Gouranga Das, and he told me that the temple recomended me for refuge....so clearly i don't understand what happened...so i'm asking you that if you can explain me what happened, I'm prepared to receive any answer, i'm just confused, and I just want to know what happened...
 

Please excuse me if I have committed any offense, not my intention<img alt="frown" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/confused_smile.gif" title="frown" /> . I think it is right to tell you what happens. 
And please excuse me for my terrible English, and do you read this letter...I do not want to bother you, I know you must be very busy with projects of NIOS & ASA.

Please accept my most humble obeisances at your lotus feet. <img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" />

Hoping to serve you, your dumb servant Bhaktin Camila R. <img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/38.gif" title="" /><img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/36.gif" title="" />

HpS - ASA - Jaya!   AgtSP!   Paoho.      We got notification that Nimai Das sent a copy of this letter to us at the Yahoo Group.  We were only using that until the Blog was fixed. Now it is fixed so we are stopping using the Yahoo Group for letters.  Back to the Blog.

This seems to be a common test that Krsna gives people. Almost the same thing happened to me when I went to the Temple in San Francisco the first time. So I went back out to my car and took shelter of Srila Prabhupada's KRSNA book and practically the first thing I read was, "One should not be discouraged if there are obstacles in the path of devotional service in the beginning. One should go ahead with enthusiasm and everything will be successful."

So I went back to the Temple and tried again and was great experience.

When the list of Candidates for being Aspirants and Initiation was made up there was not proper evaluation by the ISKCON standard. I can't remember the details but I think it was communicated to us that although you were doing very well, you had not been chanting sixteen rounds a day and following full program for six months.

Is that a fact?

If so, that is the formality that we have to accomplish.

For how many months have you been chanting 16-enthusiastic rounds and following the 4-principles strictly and keeping regular morning program and participating in the Sankirtana of Lord Caitanya in ISKCON?

   Booop!     It is a simple clear standard, but it is actually very personal. It is a contract that Srila Prabhupada made for us with the Son of Maharaja Nanda

O.K.   We wait with great expectations for your answer!

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP ¡¡ PAOHO 
 

Thank U so much for your visit ¡¡¡¡  Thank U so much for your association in chile ¡¡¡ wonderful ratha yatra 

I have learned so much How to be a Brahmana a real Brahmana not a bluffer as U called me last class when I couldn't recall the BG 10.11 

So I am reviewing my verses. How can we know them by heart?? quoting them in  class?? reciting everyday  uff because there are a lot BV verses umm what is your technique?? please tell us

Also as I told U in skype I will start giving classes in the temple again , we have to be prepare to preach ¡¡

i have also realized that we have to be very careful with our character because we are representing U. We feel so sorry when people critize U because of us your disciples or may I say so called disciples ¡¡ I do not want to be a so called disciple  I wanted to be always under your eternal shelter please kindly forgive all my faults I am going to be better day by day by your mercy and by Srila Prabhupada's mercy 

Gaura Nitay aren't ready yet sama dhamas tapa saucam .... a brahmana is patient umm and tolerant umm I have to practice this on the other hand I am thinking why They do not want to return??? umm I guess is only my mind (candra jeje)

Again and again and again please forgive us and help us in order to be better tools for Srila Prabhupada I am so dumb forgive us because we do  not please U.

 I feel sometimes too lonely I need protection I remember my father I need his protection so much ... Krsna is my only shelter 3 lonely women in a big house ¡¡ Hanuman is here to protect us but I have the possibility to have Prahlada Nrishma .. Is it proper if I have Prahlada Nrishma deity??? I need protection I think that the deities protect us 

Krsna is  muy husband can U arrange the marriage???

Sorry for the long letter, we miss U so much, thanks for all your mercy sometimes we do not know how to take advantage of that

Always aspiring to be your disciple I feel that I am not in that position yet

Tomorrow is ekadasi is a good day to start

Your eternal servant, little daughter

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Radha Madhan Vihari!!!

Por favor Maha Maharaja yacepte mis humildes reverencias!!!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva!!!!!!!!!!

Estamos muy contentos de que ya se encuentre mejor de su infeccion, Srila Prabhupada quiere que lo siga ayudando en su servicio!!!! gracias a Krishna!!!!!!!!!!!

Nosotros seguimos intentando complacer a Srila Prabhupada desde Barcelona, 16 rondas KO cuatro principios OK nuestro sankirtan principal sigue siendo el servicio fijo a los devotos en el templo, estamos en las clases de Bhakti sastri con la madre Yugala Kishora DD!!! estamos muy contentas pero aveces es dificil tantas cosas uni servicio casa bhakti sastri pero estamos tratando de mejorar nuestra disciplina y nuestros horarios para sacar todo adelante bien. En BS ya terminaos el LOB; realmente hermoso con significados muy sustenciosos Jaya Srila Prabhupada!!!! ahora estamos por terminar el NOI hemos entendido nuestra posicion y como mejorar nuestros habitos y comportamiento con los devotos tenemos que seguir esforzandonos para ponerlos en practica!!!!!!!! 

Cada dia es muy duro si no estas complamente absorto en el santo nombre, nos damos cuentas que nuestros defectos son muy grandes y como estos nos dificultan a la hora del servicio, la mente empieza muuyyy fuerte desde la mañana cuando nos damos cuenta que no vamos a poder llegar a mangala arati en el templo o cuando vemos que nuestro servicio no es suficiente, estamos muy apegadas aun a lo material y hacemos facil el servicio de Maya Devi.

No lo molestamos mas gurudeva esperamos poder seguir teniendo su asociacion en Japa Joe

Muchas gracias por su inmensa misericordia!!!! muchas gracias HANUMAT SWAMI .... AgtSP Paoho. Nuestra internet es super mal hoy dia. Intentamos mejorar. DTC tiene nuestras noticias. Hemos llegado a USA. Graxcias sus noticias. Es la misma para nosortros. Muchas fracasos en Sankirtan cada dia, rodeado por Kali yuga, pero podemos cantar muchas rondas cada dia y Kirtan en voz alto cuando quiermos y eso es muy bien. Entonces Krsna nos da intelligencia como adelantar. Jaya. Estamos juntos en Sri Krsna Sankirtan y vamos a encontrar fisicalmente cuando necesitamos. Vamos a Goloka! ?......... por tu HpS - ASA asociación!!!!

Whenever I do service in pujari I feel better ¡¡ But this time I clean ¡¡¡ clean clean ¡¡¡ I clean pujari in wilson, polish the paraphernalia it was like cleaning and polishing my heart ¡¡¡

Also listening to classes ¡¡¡ very nice ¡¡¡

MAybe next Sunday will be the festival for Welcome back to the deities ummm maybe They are delaying it because They want to go to Surco jajajaja .

My BV study is a little delay but I will catch up on tomorrow . 

I was in pujari really early in the morning I needed that to clean ¡¡¡ to do something ¡¡ to clarify my ideas ¡¡¡ I feel better now ¡¡ many ideas many plans for making our service more professional ¡¡¡¡

How to inspire others to do service??? most pujaris like to do puja, or dress not clean up jeje any advices??

WIth Gaura Gadadhara we are organizing one course for pujaris in LIma ¡¡¡
JAYA ¡¡¡

Thanks Gurudeva for all your inspiration

              HpS - ASA -  Jaya!   Srila Prabhupada,  Paoho.....  Best way to teach ordinary people is by example.  "yad yad acarati...".    Others can be inspired by a stern leader, Ksatriya.  Devotional service in the mode of ignorance is conducted out of fear.         Passion out of desires.  So you have to install transcendental punishments and rewards..... No burfi for three days!!!

                   [[[Oooohhhhhh!   It is HOrrible!    (Hari Bol!)]]]

Example, politics, and for good folk.  Preaching, explain things intelligently based on sastra, words of Acharyas.     "Na socati na kanksati.."

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP ¡¡¡
PAOHO ¡¡¡¡

At this moment U are at the airport U lost your flight to Ecuador ¡¡¡

I just wanted to tell U honestly that since I returned to Chile I was not feeling so well, I do not if it is stress, boredom, maya , uff I do not know..  I feel dissapointed about one friend also maybe is that ¡¡¡¡

MY rounds aren't so good as they were before 12:30 am (chile - lima) was too much for me so there were some days that I did not attend japa joe and today I just fall asleep while chanting ¡¡¡ I was listening to namacarya and then I lost my consciousness I woke up for mangal artik buuuuuuuuuu  Maybe it is the stress for not seeing Gaura Nitay for long time .... many things to do ..... ufff I am feeling tired really tired I fall asleep in the busses ummm I do not know why 

I do not have the same enthusiasm as before so yes I know that I can find it in my intelligence the one that  not too much jeje 

Priorities.. yes I have to put my priorities first... It is an art how to handle the time sometimes I do not have enough time to do anything umm that is maya ¡¡¡

so sorry GM for this report is not so good but I am trying to be honest and to take shelter in Srila PRabhupada through your very good self ¡¡¡¡

The sun is shinning ¡¡¡¡ I am going to chosica today full service the whole day and if I have your mercy I may see Gaura Nitay and the welcome back party  for Them will be next sunday it was supposed to be this sunday but the deities aren't ready :(

I will pray and talk to Radharani to help me. She is really sweet and patient with us ... I was having dreams with Gaura Nitay just as Gaura Gadadhara They were OK They look as the way I knew Them... 

Thanks for listening and so so sorry for bothering U with our minds and problems ......... I just want to be a useful tool for Your eternal sankirtan to Srila Prabhupada ¡¡¡ 

a question .. our name has an influence on us?? how strong?? candramukhi?? candra = mind

I am sometimes too mental 

Thanks Gurudeva what would have happened with your flight??? anyway Have a very nice trip ¡¡¡¡

             HpS - ASA ----  Jaya!   AGTSP    pfanrh.    Be careful!            The SB is full of stories of fall downs!     It is there to warn us of every situation, no?    Then we can avoid them all and Go-to-Goloka, Moooo!          You have a very good chance to get there even in this life!           This year!                    ....     

Our name can be very significant or just a nice handle for the Spiritual Master and Disciple to know each other.     Too mental is better than too physical, but , yes, we have to be moon beams of Krsna-candra!

Hare Krishna!

Todas las Glorias sean a Sri Sri Gaura Nitai !!

Todas las Glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada !!

Todas las Glorias sean a ud Guru Maharaj !!

Hari Bol ! Le cuento que este domingo pasado fui al Ratha Yatra de BS AS . fue casi toda la congregacion de aqui estuvo muy lindo el festival con 3 carrozas y 3 Kirtan, eh hize sankyrtan durante todo el festival. muy nectareo.. estoy trabajando en una jugeteria/libreria. la dueña es una devota (madre Claudia) quien esta muy metida en el tema de las tierras "Sri Govardana Tierra de Krsna" los devotos (bramacharis) salen a distribuir prasadam 2 veces a la semana. Se esta dando el Curso Introductorio a la filosofia Vaisnava para adolecentes y adultos. el espacio para los niños ya se esta comprando el material para construirle un lugar arriba para que ellos se recreen mientra esta la clase las fiestas de domingos.. Prabhu Mahajan esta viajando para chile a encontrarce con su esposa y dar algunos cursos por aquellos lados. Mi situacion particular me levanto tipo 6am y atiendo a Sus Señorias Nitai Gaura Candra. Programa completo ( las despierto, baño, cambio , ofresco boga, puja, lectura) y canto japa. luego voy a trabajar. por las noches les ofresco algo de beber (leche o te) y las acuesto.muchas gracias por su tiempo.lo estimo.
