Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

PAMHO! PAMHO! PAMHO!!!

ASA - Nos es igual, igual, igual.    Monocito/Puerquecito!!

 
{Camila R, 19 años, Estudiante de Trabajo Social, Chile. }

Maharaj, he sabido que estuvo muy mal de salud, espero que haya sanado de buena manera,

ASA -  Ha!   Ha!    Ha!    Es peor!    ! ! !                    Vamos a dejar nuestra cuerpo antes de escribir esta carta!

y que Krishna y Sri Nrisimhadeva lo protejan mucho. 

Las rondas están empezando a ir bien, creo que sería bueno levantarme temprano, estoy intentandolo de a poco, para así cantar las rondas, TOOOODAS! .

ASA -  Eso es el truco!!!!

Sigo con el servicio de las Guirnaldas, y estoy considerando empezar a ir una vez, por lo menos, en la semana a Mangala Aratik. Más fuerza en la vida espritual, más determinación! go! . 

ASA - Puede pasar noche en la conventa?

En la Universidad va todo bien, ya me queda un mes para salir de clases, y creo que ha sido un muy buen año hasta el momento en ése ámbito. 
He tenido "problemas" con un principio, pero me gustaría poder hablarlo en privado, si no le molesta Maharaj.

¿Cuándo se sabe genuinamente cuando un devoto o devota está preparado para ser iniciado? Si el Guru es quien mira dentro de nuestro corazón, por qué otras personas determinan la iniciación?(Como por ejemplo "La Junta" que administra un Templo) . ¿En algún momento llegamos a estar preparados para ser iniciados? 

ASA - En Texto Tres de Upadesamrta Prabhupada dijo.   Que la servicion devocional no es un hecho de especualcion mental, ni tampoco extasis imaginarios, pero actividad practico en la adelante de la vida espiritual.

O.K. Desarrolla interior.   Pero esperamos que manifiesta exterior tambien. Dejando Sakhi, hombres con gran coches y bigotes, revistas de modas.  Ooof!   Y una persona siguiendo puede sentir casi bien la conciencia de otro.

Cuando dos ladrones encuentra en la calle, no necesitan un introduccion. Conocen uno a otro solamente por mirada.

Ho!  Ho!   Ho!           Trabajo social.          Entonces, la base de todo es simple: Canta mas rondas mejor.   Oooop!                 Entonces todo la demas va a advanzar.                         ooooop!             Todo!!!!!

O.K.   Por favor lea Texto Tres, no?

Super gracias su associacion!

 Muchas gracias por su tiempo, lo agradezco sinceramente, espero esté bien de salud, y espero algún día poder ser útil en servicio para Srila Prabhupada y Usted. 
RADHE SYAM! 

Dear Hanumatpresaka Swami,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

One month has passed after meeting you in Radhadesh, and it has been an enlivening period. Initially, a big void was the only thing left in your absence, but enthusiasm and thankfulness after refreshing the commitment helped me along. Now anartha-nivrti is in full effect, and updated ways of looking at my (future) family relationship are emerging.

Still, there seems to be a big gap between actually living the "tat te nu kampam" purport and accepting the so-called unwanted aspects of my life. It leaves a discomfort to see it happen, being subordinated to mental & grosser bodily responses while intelligence i remind myself that it is Krishna's mercy. I find this a discomfort and, somehow in the back of my mind, ask myself whether i do it right.  

I'm happy for you to read you're in more spacious surroundings, in terms of rest and absence of travel. I like the LOB video presentation, but miss out because of language barrier. I wish you all the best in your current activities!

Your aspiring servant in the mission of Lord Caitanya,

Richard van Dijck

HpS - Jaya!      AGTSP     Yes, we are back in Tennessee.   It is Tuesday 12th and we are feeling really bad iin body   Yet, that only make us laugh.   It is good.  If this body is finished maybe we can get a better position next birth!      Better for Krsna.       AND there's the Key.     As long as we, are calculatee, for how happy are Wee, then happy we won't beee!

Forget about your happiness!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I am in Cueramaro now.

Just before, I was in Mexico DF, for the Ratha Yatra. It was great, with Malati Mataji, she shared with us many pastimes with Srila Prabhupada. The festival was very very nice. I distributed some books: 18 Krsna Books, and 32 small books

HpS - ASA --      ! ! ! ! ..! ! ! !

And before... we spend 2 weeks in traveling sankirtan at Cuernavaca, Chilpancingo, and Acapulco. Elizabeth and I distributed 1594 small books, 151 big books, 15 Krsna Books, 20 Bhagavad Gitas (in the universities).

 ..... . . . .... .. .     !!!   .. . .  ASA -  Jaya!! 

I am seeing about my desicion for the College at Radhadesh. I ask to Malati Mataji and she told me it's nice if I can go this year. I couldn't talk with mataji Asta Sakhi because I didn't saw her in the festival. And I couldn't talk with prabhu Maitreya and prabhu Bhakta Vatsala, because I just arrive for the festival, and they were so busy!

Foe the admission at College they ask for 2 recomendation letters: can I ask one from you Gurudeva. I don't Know who else t ask, I thought in Prabhu Gita Govinda...

I couldn't send the Sattva report, I will try to do it now, but we have to go back to the farm soon! No internet there! No posible to enter to japa joe.... :(

Thank you very much for your attention

your insignificant servant

When we have an obstacle in the spiritual life, like an attachment, it can be helpfull to reveal the mind to a vaisnava we trust, isn't it?

HpS - ASA -  Of course, NOI 4.              It sounds very mysterious!    We just wrote down that we have to send a letter for your recomendation.  It is 7.17PM.  Monday.   Both sides of our mouth are infected, sore.  One sore on our tongue. This is our last letter for today!   Outside there is strange grey clouds coming quickly and strange rain.  Here are tornados!   One passed five houses away last time we were here.  Whole house was gone down to the level of one meter!  Could see the sofa, television etc.  Second letter can come from Mexico authorities.  Gita govinda, yes.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay!

Please accept my humble obeisances

Hare Krsna, dear Guru Maharaja. How is your health?

ASA - HpS  -  Honestamente en esta momento, Lunes, 11 Junio, 6.10PM, no siento muy bien el cuerpo.   Siento contaminacion bastante profundo. Siempre ayunando un poco para mucho tiempo y vamos a continuar, profundando la austeridad eliminar la contaminacion.               Oooop!           The soul is eternal!

I know your condition is due to the bad practices that have had your disciples. I hope if I did’t contribute more to your suffering.<img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/31.gif" title="" />

ASA - Ha!   Ha!    We don't have any "bad disciples".  If some one is smoking marijuana and only chanting 6 or 7 rounds then they are not our Disciples.  We don't take much responsibility for their Karma.     We have to become even more strict about this because, yes, there is a reaction, for me, for you, for everybody for the things we do. If we eat food cooked by materialistic minded people we become contaminated, what to speak of other things.

What do we want, social peace or Krsna?

Been a while since I last wrote you, but I was waiting to give you this news: finally I finished university! <img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/57.gif" title="" />

HpS - Jaya!!!

We deliver the thesis and we gave the final exam with Jagad Guru das and had good results. We already have a diploma that says we are journalists so that no more bother us ahahaha! The theme was education, so I hope to contribute to society of devotees and people in general who are interested in Krsna. I would like to manage a conference for your visit to Chile about education. What do you think? Specifically how to approach it?

We are chanting at least 16 rounds daily, following the four regulative principles, serving our deities and doing service in the temple. I’m pujari assistant once a week. We also participate in the Harinama of Friday and the Feast of Prabhupada preaching to new people. We are reading every day.

Of our old bhakti sastri group with prabhu Patraka only Vanamali and I just stayed. So, we decided to start all over again from the LOB, with a new group, also with Patraka. We are very happy, because we like to study Prabhupada's books and associating with devotees.

I recently learned that the seed of Krsna killed each other. I made ​​an impact mainly by detachment from him to his 'family'. If He didn't not mind his family... Krishna really cares about us, that we constantly forget him? or is that until we really love him not be importing? Krsna doesn't love us? <img alt="crying" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/cry_smile.gif" title="crying" />

HpS - Jaya.  Last paragraph the translation is not clear.  Subtle idea.    We are looking at our Calendar for South America right now.   We can fix some content  in the next few days!   Thank you so much for the letter.  It really helps us!   Congratulations on your diploma.  Is very nice!   Yes, you can use it.  It is that simple, sharpen your intelligence on BG & SB and then explain things for everybodys benefit.

I hope you feel better upon receipt of this letter.

My humble obeisances!

Aspiring to serve You,

Kriya Sakti devi dasi <img alt="cheeky" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/tounge_smile.gif" title="cheeky" />

su sirviente bhakta erick

HpS - ASA --  Jaya!    Hay muchos diferentes ISKCONs.  Uno para Mienbros Vitalizos, que solamente necesitan pagar algo una vez y son Miembros.  Otro para devotos iniciados.   Otro como institucion del perspecto internal, GBC, Presidente, y como esta relacionnado con el gobierno local.   Otro es el ISKCON que solamente es para Paramahamsas. Pero Srila Prabhupada es Fundador Acharya de todos!!

ASA - AGTSP   pamho   In the last meeting we discussed this, no?   You Secretary, should send a Report to NIMSAR Members each month.   That Report should include a list of who are the Members and what are their different positions or roles.   Of course, Student, is one kind of role.

O.K. We expect a grand report to our ASA Branch, Yahoo Address with a list of all the Officers, Voting Members, Students, Teachers, Invited Members et al!
