Hare Krishna Maharaj,

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

Maharaj, as per your instruction for Sugopi's last year's Vyasapuja offering, we started a musical group with other devotees(Three of us, Mark, Inger and Juniper) and did a kirtan at a yoga studio on February 28th. The response was very very nice. All the attendees(15 total) bought a copy of Bhagavad gita.

The following are the comments on their facebook page:

"Thank you, thank you Boise Hare Krishna Temple for a wonderful Kirtan, tasty treats and stories from the Bhagavad Gita! We hope you will
come visit us again soon!"

"This was so amazing! I was deeply moved to tears! My entire body was tingling! So cool!!"

The Yoga Center also wanted Srinivas Prabhu to give another 2 hr class on Yama and Niyama. I am also approaching more yoga centers for
Kirtan. Thank you for your instructions Maharaj, and please give us sincerity and strength to follow your instructions. I hope to execute them for the pleasure of you and the guru parampara and not to inflate my false ego.

Your servant,

Sundari Radhika dd.

HpS - Hare Krsna!   More, more!   Good songs to make into Dance Dramas: Jaya Radha Madhava, Gaura arati, Dasa-avatara, Gurvastaka and Udillo aruna!!! See you tomorrow.

Whatever fruit Sugopi selects in the morning; kitri of split green-peas, oats, carrots-celery, salt and butter for lunch; and hot milk after everything is wonderful Bhoga for Lord Nrsmha-deva.

Hare Krishna GuruMaharaj! All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! Please accept my humble obeisances.

Thanks for coming,  your association was very inspiring for all of us. We continue in Madrid now I’m studying the Upadesamrita and the Nectar of Devotion. I read these books before but I didn’t spend some time in study, for me the Nectar of Devotion it’s incredible. In the first part Srila Prabhupada achieve to do an amazing theological definitions of the different levels of the Bhakti Yoga. Its funny cause some nights ago I dreamed with the six Goswamis, they were in one room reading some texts in sanscrit. I was out of the room and in one moment I said something to other person and somebody from the room close the door because we were disturbing them. I felt very worry because I incommoded them but after some moments, they open again the door. I don’t know why but the last nights I have a lot of oneiric activity… many strong dreams with friends, devotees, bhutas. Some of them not very nice for example I remember one of them where I was with one spiritual brother and this devotee was talking very bad things from you.

Now many devotees are going to visit the temple in the next days, for example today arrive Yadunandana Swami and Patita Pavana Prabhu from Canary Islands, in one week Dhanesvara Prabhu will come and in a few weeks Harichakra Prabhu will return from India and his plans is to live in Madrid temple.

The service in the temple is ok I continue with the pujari and Kirtan Rasa and his wife are doing an amazing service with the lunch program. I feel that I have a lot of fortune to have their association.

One of the personals purposes that I’m trying to improve is to be more conscious of the time and try to spend in the right way, I realized that if I don’t try to focus in the important things my mind will spend my energies in many stupid things.

The last summer I was in Malaga temple learning puja with the head pujari of the temple, the experience was nice, but the devotee many times was very busy and he dint have enough time. Now I have the opportunity of going some months to study in the Mayapur academy and pass the course of worship (4 months) also I would like to take class of mridanga, the authorities of the temple think that it’s a good idea and they say me that the temple can support the trip. The idea is to return after the courses, share the knowledges and continue with the service in Madrid. Gurudeva what do you think? Is it a good idea?

HpS - To go to India just to learn Mrdanga??  Seems you could learn enough from devotees in Spain, no??

Also from some months ago, I am part of the formal authorities of the temple; this service is very dangerous… Some advice for survive?

HpS - Put personal, vaisnava,  relations before administrative relations. It has worked for us in practical experience also.

4 regs ok

16 Rounds ok

3 Gayatris ok

Thanks for your instructions and your time.

Your servant Mantri Rama Das.

Photo of Lignum Crucis, maybe you remember that i said you that i went to pilgrim to a place where the catholic church have the biggest piece of the world from the cross of Jesus, people start to pilgrim  around 1500. The name of the place is Santo Toribio de Liebana. The scientics said that the wood is more than 2000 years and its from the same kind of wood that they use in Jerusalem to crucify the people.

HpS - Thank you so much for your letter and your news. Don't get trapped in just the external features of Bhakti-yoga. Chant and act with as much love as you can. Understand the logic of Krsna consciousness so that you can concentrate well on the Mantra.

Learn the word by word meaning of the Gurvastak.

Are there regular classes, reading every morning??

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Por favor reciba mis reverencias querido Gurudeva.

Han pasado muchas cosas desde la ultima vez que lo vi en Houston Gurudeva, tengo tanto que informarle. Comenzare con decirle que después de la platica que tuvimos con usted, prabhu Vidagdha y yo estamos a la espera de saber que pasara con el asunto del restaurante en Hosuton. Aún no sabemos si será posible que puedan contratar a prabhu Vidagdha. El presidente del templo de Houston nos pidió una carta de recomendación por parte de SS Guru Prasada Swami, y una de usted solo para tenerla como referencia me imagino. Su santidad Guru Prasad Swami, ya esta enterado de los pormenores. Aún estamos a la espera, que las autoridades correspondientes tomen la desición.

HpS - Hare Krsna!   Quiere una carta de nosotros???

Mientras tanto, continuamos con nuestros proyectos personales y nuestros servicios en templo.

Con respecto al programa dominical (ASA KIDS), como le mencione me encontraba un tanto desanimada al respecto, pero me he encontrado con la sorpresa de que cada día más devotos y familias, se están uniendo al respecto. Eso me da mucha tranquilidad, y ya no siento tanto la presión con la que estaba realizando ese servicio. Me siento muy apoyada y confiada, en que seguiremos adelante con los proyectos infantiles. Le pido me disculpe mi falta de responsabilidad, pero en ese momento era para mi necesario hacer una pausa, y retomar mi servicio con más entusiasmo y entrega. A finales de este mes, iniciaremos con las clases dominicales, y la idea es entrenar a un grupo de devotas jovénes que se han unido para dar talleres de pintura, barro, etc, a los niños.

HpS - Plan de Minstry of Education es presentar un curriculum super para todo el mundo, si quiere, para escuela dominical, Janmastami est ano, y metodo de entrenamiento de profesor para dominical escuela con esta curriculum en 2017~

Tratando de aterrizar un mejor servicio de mi parte para ISKCON, decidí estudiar una Licenciatura en Pedagogía online,

HPS - Jaya!

...yo tome en cosideración los consejos que usted me dio al respecto, de hacer una investigación de contenidos, fuentes, etc... Madre Lalita Gopi y una devota profesora de primaria en México, me ha orientado al respecto; y he recibido un gran apoyo por parte de ellas. Por supuesto tengo el apoyo de prabhu Vidadgha, que fue quién más me motivo a tomar la desición. No pude antes darle la noticia porque usted se encontraba en India, así que tuvimos que tomar la desición mi esposo y yo, sin poder consultar con usted, le pido disculpas por eso Gurudeva.

HPS - Esta bien!   Buen consejo.

Mi deseo es poder prepararme profesionalmente, y contribuir más eficazmente en los proyectos infantiles en ISKCON. Me he dado cuenta, que me desarrollo bien en áreas dondé tenga que realizar trabajo de organización y unificación de familias, para cumplir própositos educativos en la comunidad infantil. Solo que me hace falta mucha técnica, y me he encontrado con muchos errores en la práctica. Espero poder tomar lo mejor de la enseñanza ácademica, y llevarlo a la práctica conciente de Krishna  en los proyectos de educación en ISKCON. 

Le agradezco mucho su tiempo y quiero que sepa que extraño mucho su asociación en vapu, extraño verlo por las mañanas en el inmenso templo de Houston. Espero verlo muy pronto Gurudeva. Mi hijo Mukunda le manda saludos, el lo recuerda con mucho cariño.

Su sirviente Gopi Radha DD.

HPS - Jaya Mukunda!   Tenemos horrible dolor de estomago hoy dia.   Posible vamos a morir de cancer en unos dias.  Ha!  Ha!  Hare!    Posible Mukunda antes, y Vd antes.

Proxima vida como esta vida.

Ya vamos a clase de Hawaii on line.  10.51AM aqui. clase a las 11.00am.  Somos presentadoros.

Muy bien su esfuerza. Krsna esta completamente en control de su situacion.

Necisita carta de nosotros???

Dear Guru Maharaja you are my constant inspiration.

AGTSPI

I tell him that recently i have discouragement in my spiritual life , suddenly did not want to get out more sankirtan from disciembre until March it was as marathon in the temple out every day and suddenly the body or the mind and were tired and desnimados, I was worth writing now for the miscericosrde of Gurupasad swami and I'm otravez in a marathon sankirtan by ud Gurumajaraja traveling in the van by different cities of mexico led by Jayadeva hari dasa , 25 this month prabhu aravinda asked me to travel to panama and Colombia to do sankirtan and give a workshop sankirtan , I owe it all to you.

HpS - Hare Krsna, I think you owe maybe .001% to me. .01% a Vds and everything else to Srila Prabhupada

with respect to distributing great books to a library truth still meditating on how to carry out this instruction bought but few books 10 or 5 or so and have not sold but are still waiting as actually makes your deceo only time separates me from to achieve this, I could not upload videos to Srila Prabhupada youtube page of the temple because traduccirlos not , but I hope someone help me with this instruction , my rounds but still want to have more enthusiasm for singing .

Gurudeva even get not properly honor the living entities want to learn to see Krsna in every situation and exit is dark neophyte status constates cometeer mental offenses , please explain to me how can I increase the caludad in my devotional service , I should abide Mr. Gauranga, Srila Prabhupada , or you ? Who should I offer my prayers ? Gurudeva wanted to please instruct me if it is your desire.

HpS - Claro, la respuesta es Srimad Bhagavatam. Y claro recibido por Senor Caitanya y Srila Prabhupada en la association of devotees in ISKCON. Solamente clarificar el processo. Ya lo tiene. No tiene que hacer algo bastante diferente. Solamente tiene que hacer con mas expertise el proseso y adelantar a Raganuga Bhakti.

thank you very much beloved Gurudeva please give me the blessing of being able to remember life after life be good enough to use me in his service to Krsna I want nothing more, let my desire for material gratification fail and have no other choice but to surrender to his lotus feet that they are my only hope in the midst of this maddening and burning material existence.

sorry for my goggle traduccion

Hope this meets u in really good health

Today I present my resignation as chief pujari in wilson.. we feel good. Because if they allow me I will continue with my seva.. but not in charge. I was not doing my service as well as before. I realized that I was a burden rather than a help.

So i think and think a lot about my priorities. Get up early and get my rounds done.. 4P.. read.. And do some for this sankirtan movement.

I have recovered all my rounds.. my fmp is much more better now. I am teaching BS. It is very nice to share ideas with my students... etc

I am helping Abhiram thakur das for the congress in June.. it is a great group. Patrak, Nitya kishore, jagat pavitram, Parama Karuna, torino. Etc... Jambavan will help us also 

We feel really happy. Hope to be useful with lalita gopi dd... Let's see what Krsna wants

Thanks for your inspiration

Trying be useful
