Hare Krishna, dear Gurudeva, Pamho, AGTSP!

My wife and I are doing very well. We're trying to do service as much as we can. Now we have the opportunity to travel to Cusco. By the mercy of Govardhana prabhu, we have been invited to preach a little and take advantage of the opportunity for RR to get to know Cusco.

HpS/ASA - Super. AgtSP!!

In the afternoons I will be teaching some seminars (communication, leadership, conflict resolution), and in the morning I will be conducting a series of sastric studies (ISO, NOI, and NOD).

My courses are going very well. I have 12 Bhakti Vaibhava students, 7 Bhakti Sastris, and 8 in Introduction to Bhakti Yoga. I am very happy with my service. I learn a lot from my students, and they fill me with enthusiasm to continue my service. It is very enriching to hear the students' realizations and perspectives. There is a lot of participation and interaction in my classes.

ASA - SUPER, SUPER!

My donkey is lame.

We are doing pre surgery tests to renew its legs, if possible.

It makes it a little difficult for us to get around, but it's okay, no problem.

I have insurance, so I don't have to spend anything.

If I didn't, I wouldn't bother doing all that business that costs thousands of soles.

There are more important things to invest in with Laxmi, like prasadam distribution, etc.

HpS/ASA - We just came back from the Audiologist. Very nice lady, associate of Mother Guru bhakti Devi Dasi.

Our donkey is also 'lame', rather hearing impaired.

The recommended hearing aids at $7000.

That's $90/month over the never 84-months [seven years].

Is it worth it?

We have been experiencing a lot of dwindling of our bodily parts during the last few weeks, maybe two months.

Like you, we don't want to spend our actual cash on a doomed donkey.

The Kauravas were continuing to exist on the results of sinful acts only. So, purify the body of it's resources of sinful acts eg. eating more than necessary.

Find out what are the real, transcendental, resources and continue using that.

We have a Standby Ticket on the plane to a good destination, no?

Nabadvipa with Srila Prabhupada and Nimai?

Yet, they may call us at any moment: Standby passenger, Laksman agra ja Das, HpSwami ... ASA.. please report to Gate 108 for an immediate departure.

Do you have all you need packed into your carry-on luggage?

We are participating 100% in the FMS. Yet, we aren't involved much in the Sunday classes. It overlaps with the temple service and festivals. Also, our organizer is very demanding and wants the service to be guaranteed by Tuesday at the latest, which is a bit complicated for me. Besides, I'm getting older and have to make way for other younger devotees. I've translated for you for many years. I have wonderful memories and funny anecdotes. One day I will write about it, as a tribute to your wisdom, your preaching spirit, and your unique and fun character.

ASA - 🐷 🐖 🐖

That's what I wanted to tell you for now. I don't usually write much. You know what I do, my loyalty to you, to Srila Prabhupada, to ISKCON (Chosica).

Thank you so much for the mercy you shower on this, your unconditional servant,

Laksmana-agraja das (LAD)

(Better known as the Blue Baboon)

ASA - We know you as both. How does Srila Prabhupada know you?

Hope your trip to Cusco has been great. Heard you will be visiting historical sites especially for the imolument of Raman-reti Devi Dasi!!

Than you!

Hare Krsna Gurudev

Please accept my humble and respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to you.

Here Deva-Vrata das

Dear Gurudev, after a few months I am writing to you again. I haven't written since my annual report.

HpS - ... and after one month we are catching up on all of the Posts!!!!

As I wrote in my year-end report, spending those months with you in Spain and the Holy Dhama was the most powerful spiritual experience of my life.

HpS - Being together in Radha Kunda!

Living the complicated and detailed life of Sadhana Bhakti in Spain.

Traveling together from Radha kunda to Spain!!!

I am happy when I remember those moments, and I want them to remain forever in my memory to inspire my spiritual life.

Your kind qualities are immeasurable. When I speak of you, I can't help but be moved and filled with feelings of admiration and love for you.

HpS - AgtSP who can make human beings out of mud.

Also, as a contrasting feeling, I feel that I am unqualified to have a teacher of your stature; you are very exalted to me. My prayer to Krishna is to follow in your footsteps and become your disciple (a disciple is someone who follows someone's discipline, you said).

Dear Gurudev, after my experience with you, my faith is stronger. I feel more mature on the path of Krishna consciousness. Although externally I have my challenges (waking up early, eating less, motivation, enthusiastic rounds, etc.), internally I feel that I am on the right path, AgtSP and Agtyou, on the path to Krishna.

The 16 rounds and the 4 principles are fine, by your mercy.

I strongly feel that my instrument in the ISKCON orchestra is the distribution of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada's books. I ask for your blessings to be able to carry out this activity for the rest of this life and those to come. And to contribute the best I can so that Srila Prabhupada's books are in every home on this planet.

As a personal challenge, I set myself the goal of being well within myself. To become a happy and grateful person. I need to work on self-love, gratitude, and acceptance.

I also need to have better, more sincere, and real relationships with devotees.

Many personal challenges and I wish to polish this personality that is full of anarthas.

Sankirtana Report:

Books distributed as of March 2025: 623 bigs and small, and 11 Bhagavad Gitas.

We continue with the WhatsApp program "Bhagavata en familia" (Bhagavata in Family), where we send a daily Bhagavad Gita or Srimad Bhagavatam class to approximately 300 contacts.

Constantly reading Srila Prabhupada's books.

I have decided that I will not begin Bhakti Vaivabha yet, unless you instruct me to do so.

I traveled to Rosario and Mendoza, Argentina, and participated in their respective Ratha Yatras. In Rosario, I was at the book table and distributed (along with my mother—I invited her to help me at the book table) almost 40 books.

We drove to find Navina Nirada Prabhu in the province of San Juan, and he visited our neighborhood for two days. His association was very good; I had the opportunity to speak with him at length.

Well, Gurudev, sorry for the lengthy report.

I've been feeling a bit optimistic lately! I know good things are coming. Or we'll die trying!

Thank you for everything, Gurudev. It's impossible to repay a debt to a person like you. You are pure generosity, tenderness, and mercy. I hope to become your disciple.

Hare Krsna!

HpS/ASA - Thank you!!!! Who are your neighbors in Cordoba. Campaklata DD, Sastric Studies Teacher and Wife (forget his name now!?), Madhavendra, Kesava Swami? What are you relations to them?

Especially the seven people in the last photo!!! 🐵 🐷 🐦 ...

Hare Krsna Gurudev

Por favor acepte mis umildes y respetuosas reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas las glorias a ti

Aquí Deva-Vrata das

Querido Gurudev, luego de unos meses vuelvo a escribirte, no había escrito desde mi reporte anual.

Como te escribí en el reporte de fin de año, haber estado junto a ti esos meses en España y el Santo dhama, fue la experiencia espiritual más fuerte en mi vida.

Soy feliz cuando recuerdo esos momentos y quiero que queden guardados en mi memoria por siempre para entusiasmar mi vida espiritual.

Tus cualidades bondadosas son inconmensurables. Cuando hablo de ti no puedo evitar emocionarme, y llenarme de sentimientos de admiración y amor hacia ti.

También, como sentimientos contrapuestos, siento que estoy descualificado para tener un maestro de tu talla, eres muy elevado para mí. Mi ruego a Krsna es poder seguir tus pasos y convertirme en tu discípulo (discípulo es aquel que sigue la disciplina de alguien, dijiste).

Querido Gurudev, luego de mi experiencia contigo mi fe es más firme. Me siento más maduro en el camino de conciencia de Krsna. Aunque externamente tengo mis desafios (levantarme temprano, comer menos cantidad, motivación, rondas entusiastas, etc. etc.) siento internamente que voy por buen camino, AgtSP y Agtyou, en el camino a Krishna.

Las 16 rondas y los 4 principios están bien, por tu misericordia.

Siento fuertemente que mi instrumento en la orquesta de lskcon es la distribución de libros de Su Divina Gracia Srila Prabhupada. Pido tus bendiciones para poder realizar esta actividad todo el resto de esta vida y las que sigan. Y aportar lo mejor que pueda para que los libros de Srila Prabhupada estén en cada hogar de este planeta.

Como desafío personal me propuse estar bien conmigo mismo. Volverme una persona contenta y agradecida. Necesito trabajar con amor propio, gratitud y aceptación. 

También poder tener mejores relaciones con los devotos, más sinceras y reales.

Muchos desafíos personales y deseo pulir esta personalidad que está llena de anarthas.

Reporte de Sankirtana:

libros distribuidos a marzo de 2025: 623 entre grandes y chicos y 11 Bhagavad Gita.

Seguimos con el programa de WhatsApp "Bhagavata en familia" donde enviamos una clase diaria de Bhagavad Gita o Srimad Bhagavatam a aproximadamente 300 contactos.

Leyendo constantemente los libros de Srila Prabhupada.

He decidido que no voy a empezar el Bhakti Vaivabha aún, a no ser que tú me lo instruyas.

Viajé a Rosario y Mendoza, en Argentina, y participé de los respectivos Ratha Yatra. En Rosario estuve en la mesa de libros y distribuimos (junto a mi madre -que la invite a que me ayudara en la mesa de libros-) casi 40 libros.

Fuimos en auto a buscar a Navina Nirada prabhu a la provincia de San Juan y estuvo de visita 2 días en nuestro barrio. Muy buena su asociación, tuve la oportunidad de hablar bastante con él.

Bueno Gurudev, perdón por lo extenso del reporte.

Siento un aire de optimismo en los últimos tiempos! Sé que se vienen cosas buenas. O moriremos en el intento!

Gracias por todo Gurudev. Es imposible pagar la deuda con una persona como tú. Eres pura generosidad, ternura y misericordia. Espero convertirme en tu discípulo.

Hare Krsna!

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. Have we met before? We don't have any recollection of your good self.

Yes Maharaj, first time in Peru 2008, then in Monterrey, Mexico 2012, I was in charge of the program together with Gadadhara Gosai. After in 2023 in Monterrey. Also in 2014 in Houston.

Have you done book distribution like this before?

We started doing sankirtan in 2004 and in some way or other have been connected with this service since then. From 2010 we started to go more frequently to the universities and by Guru and Krishna's mercy we started this project and now we're asking blessings from all Vaishnavas to follow we this service.

Thank you Maharaj!!!

Your servant,

Jaya Gauranga dasa.

HpS - Is that you in the checkered shirt in the attached picture?

We still can't catch any memory of you!

Ooof! Yet, it is a great honor to be corresponding with you.

Please send us news and mercy from time to time.

B. S. Damodar Swami told us that Srila Prabhupada told him, and we have seen Purports with same formula, that in the secular university environment you fist talk about what is matter. They have their perspective and we can purify it with our perspective.

Then you can talk about non-material aspect to the self eg. it has free will, it is conscious, it has to make moral choices. ATMA.

Then you can talk about Jiva atma and Param atma.

...but you don't go to Bhagavan, mono theism, in the public setting, but if you establish a personal relation with them, then you can talk about God as a person, and even if you don't, if you can bring them to Param atma, then they can also find a personal relation in their own religious tradition!!!



Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja!

Por favor acepte mis más respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada!

Hoy nos levantamos con mucho entusiasmo para poder hacer un servicio para Su Vyasa Puja.

Cantamos 12 rondas y continuamos en la cocina, para hacer una ofrenda antes de abrir nuestro negocio.

Luego con Indira hicimos una guirnalda para Usted.

Terminamos nuestras rondas, y en nuestra casa suena el maha mantra y otras canciones Vaisnavas.

Estamos logrando, por la misericordia de Srila Prabhupada, que las personas compren prasadam, libros y que escuchen el maha mantra.

En este día intentamos glorificarlo a Usted y al Parampara... pero, disculpe si no tengo las palabras adecuadas para glorificarlo... solo puedo agradecer cuando usted me saludó un 26 de junio de 2003 después de la clase del Bhagavad-gita en el templo de Santiago de Chile, y al día siguiente me respondió una pregunta de manera tan simple. Gracias por "hacerme sufrir" cuando quería tomar refugio formal (porque yo no sabía bien lo que significaba). Gracias por castigar a mi ego, porque de otra manera una inteligencia de cuarta clase no entiende. Gracias por las instrucciones: ¡Levántate temprano y canta tus rondas!. Gracias por ser fiel a Srila Prabhupada porque eso nos inspira y nos levanta.

Que Srila Prabhupada y el Parampara estén plenamente complacidos con Su incansable servicio y le otorguen un ticket a la morada trascendental...

*Adjunto fotos del programa con amigos interesados en la conciencia de Krsna y de nuestra ofrenda de hoy.

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja!

Please accept my most respectful

obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Today we woke up with

great enthusiasm

to perform

a service

for Your Vyasa Puja.

We chanted 12 rounds and continued in the kitchen to make an offering before opening our business. Then Indira and I made a garland for You.

We finished our rounds, and in our house we sang the maha mantra and other Vaishnava songs.

By Srila Prabhupada's mercy, we are getting people to buy prasadam, books, and listen to the maha mantra.

HpS - We hope they become eternal friends and eternal members of srila prabhupada's iskcon.

On this day, we try to glorify You and the Parampara...

but, excuse me if I don't have the right words to glorify You...

I can only express my gratitude when you greeted me on June 26, 2003, after the Bhagavad-gita class at the temple in Santiago, Chile, and the

next

day an-swered my

question

so simply.

Thank you for "making me suffer" when I wanted to take formal refuge (because I didn't quite know what it meant). Thank you for punishing my ego, because otherwise, a fourth-class intelligence doesn't understand. Thank you for the instructions: Get up early and chant your rounds! Thank you for being faithful to Srila Prabhupada because that inspires and uplifts us.

May Srila Prabhupada and the Parampara be fully pleased with Your tireless service and grant You a ticket to the transcendental abode...

ASA - 🚙

*I attach photos of the program with friends interested in Krishna consciousness and of our offering today.

We only join these V-puja ceremonies because we hope the WHOLE parampara is illuminated, glorified.

THANK YOU!!!

can you paint a horizontal line on your wall about the height of the girls? make it artistic. then think about what you can paint bellow and above in KRSNA consciousness.

Dear Hanumat Presak Maharaj and all devotees.

Danvats pranams!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We humbly share with you that, together with Jala-dharaka Prabhu, we are founding a civil association called ALAS - Asociación Latinoamericana de Sankirtan (Latin American Sankirtan Association).

This project aims to distribute 60,000 books a year, as well as offer talks focused on mental health and suicide prevention,

teaching students to practice meditation with the Hare Krishna Mahamantra as a tool for inner transformation.

We have currently launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to legalize the association, acquire a vehicle, and purchase books.

Once we obtain international donor status, we will be able to receive financial support from companies in different countries. Our dream is to travel from Mexico to Brazil, carrying Srila Prabhupada's books and chanting the Holy Name. In the second half of this year, we plan to begin our first trip through Central America, and next year we will continue through South America. With great faith and hope, we ask for your blessings for this project, which we hope will be a sincere offering to Srila Prabhupada in service to the sankirtan movement.

We also share our social media accounts so you can see more details about the project: https://www.facebook.com/share/12GxPVUuj5i/ https://www.instagram.com/asociacion.alas?igsh=bXNudmNodW41YTNn

Feliz Vyasapuja!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Nityananada que es misericordioso con regalarnos la conexión con el movimiento de sankirtana aún sin merecerlo!

Quiero ofrecer mis respetos a ud, que alumbra con su luz al mundo en este día de su auspiciosa aparición en este plano de la existencia!

Rezo a Sri Nrisimha lo proteja mucho como a Pralada maharaja, y nos de valentía para caminar con las enseñanzas que los Acaryas le han revelado y comparte con todos.

Estuvimos en ferias de Libros y ayudamos a los discípulos de maharaja Praladhananda Swami a distribuir su libro de salud, publicado, en su visita a Perú.

Maya me atrapa y juega conmigo, más no borrará, (ruego a Sri Nityananada) mi gratitud a ud y Srila Prabhupada! Mis seres amados. No entiendo los misterios de la vida, pero siempre hay libros de SP que puedo compartir, todo gracias a ud, y soy feliz!

Mi corazón a sus pies!

Happy Vyasapuja!

All glories to Sri Nityananada, who is merciful in giving us the connection to the sankirtana movement, even though we don't deserve it!

I want to offer my respects to you, who illuminates the world with your light on this day of your auspicious appearance on this plane of existence!

HpS - AgtSP!!! Paoho.

I pray that Sri Nrisimha protects you as he did Pralada Maharaja, and gives us the courage to walk with the teachings that the Acaryas have revealed to you and that you share with everyone.

We were at book fairs and helped Maharaja Praladhananda Swami's disciples distribute his published health book during his visit to Peru.

ASA - So nice!

Maya catches me and plays with me, but she will not erase (I pray to Sri Nityananada) my gratitude to you and Srila Prabhupada! My loved ones. I don't understand life's mysteries, but there are always SP books I can share, all thanks to you, and I'm happy!

My heart at your feet!

Gaura KS dd

HpS - Sorry so slow to answer these Vyasapuja letters, but our energy is low. Still it is so nice to hear from devotees!!!

Please send more news from Goloka as you receive it!

All respects to your friends and relations.
