Letters to the editor

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, reciba mis respetuosas reverencias y un abrazo en el dia de su cumpleaños, nosotros seguimos en Perú, pero ahora estamos en la ciudad del CUSCO, por un mes. 

Nadiya Nivasi no pudo viajar a Chile por que madre Anadi no fue.  Pienso que tampoco era algo recomendable para ella. 

HpS -  Aaah!!!    Pensando que ha pasado con Mataji. Ya aqui Laksmanan para Congressor Educativa.

Nuestro Sankirtan en todo el año 2015 fue a medio tiempo, distribuimos como 7200 libros, quizás fue poco, pero lo más importante es que al menos salimos casi todos los dias a ayudar a Srila Prabhupada en su Misión de Sankirtan.

HpS - No podemis ofrecer mas que la esfuerza.

Recuerdo en una ocación en la Marathon de Bolivia - Cochabamba sali a dar libros con Nadiya fuera de un Hospital, yo trataba de parar a una señora pero no me hacia caso, entraba y salia del hospital, asi que intente de nuevo y le ofreci nuevamente los libros y la señora se paro, me recibio los libros y me dijo "Sabes una cosa yo no te hacia caso con los libros, pero cuando entre al hospital el doctor me dijo que estaba mal, que tenia Alzhéimer y que lo unico que tengo que hacer es leer más, en ese instante me acorde de ti y del libro Karma que me ofrecias y me di cuenta de que no era casualidad" y bueno con la señora conversamos un poco más del Karma y de los demas libros y se llevo toda la colección de libros pequeños y la ciencia de la autorrealización, la señora se convenció de que los libros de Srila Prabhupada le ayudarían, ella dijo "Estos libros son muy buenos, así no me ayuden con mi enfermedad, se que me ayudaran en lo espiritual y eso es lo que importa", aquella ves le di la dirección del templo de cochabamba.

HpS - Nityananda, Nitayananda, Nityananda-rama!

Hay un pasatiempo corto que muy pocas veces lo cuento, fue en Cuenca - Ecuador, fue en el año 2006, en ese año comence hacer Sankirtan por primera ves: 

Estaba ofreciendo los libros de Srila Prabhupada a las personas en un parque y las personas no me hacien caso, al poco rato aparece una persona caminando muy despacio, arrastraba los pies, era un joven de aproximademente unos 35 años, tenia unas manchas en la cara y los labios con heridas, al solo verlo uno podia entender que estaba enfermo, asi que le ofreci los libros y me los recibio y me dijo "Estos libros me pueden ayudar con el mál que padezco" yo le dije ¿que mal padece usted? y me dijo "Tengo sida y solo me queda muy poco tiempo de vida, por eso te digo ¿estos libros me van a ayudar?" yo le dije que si, si te va a ayudar pero de una manera espiritual y le enseñe la perfección del yoga, el joven se quedo mirando la imagen de Krsna y Arjuna en la portada y le dije Krsna es el amigo de todos y siempre da la ayuda espiritual que nesecitamos, el joven dijo "Esta bien me lo llevo".  Esa es la Misericordia de Srila Prabhupada!!!, no nesecitamos de hacer más nada, solo dar a las personas lo que nesecitan, los libros de Srila Prabhupada son la mejor ayuda para la humanidad.

Estamos haciendo Mangal Artik entre las 4:30 am y 5:00 am, 16 rondas de Japa y un poco más, lectura de Srimad Bhagavatam canto1, cap.13, Nityananda Caritamrta, 4 principios, estamos tomando asociación con Prabhu Rohini Kumar, Prabhu Prem Gopal, Bhakta David, tomamos prasadhan en la casa de ellos. 

HpS - Muy bien. Esperamos ISKCON Cusco desarrolla mucho!  Vamos a llevar muchos extranjeros alla en Junio.

Algunos agentes del orden nos molestan, pero bueno es parte del pasatiempo del Sankirtan, las persecuciones...jejeje. Seguimos en comunicación con Prabhu Jagad Bandhu, también tiene algunos problemas de salud, la espalda, esperamos se mejore pronto.

¿Como esta su salud?,

HpS - Bien. 68-anos. 8-mas anyos en esta cuerpo. Vision, dientes, estomago todo disminuendo. Ya entrando en Jupiter, Brhaspati, entonces poco mas gordo y poco mas influencia social. Karma para Krsna.   Arjuna para Krsna.

Por mi parte,  mi salud esta mejorando de a poquitos, la gastritis y algunos dolores de espalda.

Iremos a Lima para el 10 de febrero, estaremos por 1 ó 2 semanas en Chosica - Lima, de ahi a Huancayo a ver los terrenos, ¿que pasara?, esperemos todo salga bien. Sankirtan en Huancayo!!!!!.

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido, espero que en su Vyasa Puja la haya pasado muy bien, mi ofrenda son los pasatiempos de Sankirtan que vivo a diario en las calles, Hare Krsna, un abrazo!!!

Gadai Gauranga Das

HpS -  Jaya!!!!   Cuidado de la conciencia de Daksa. Era un gran ejecutar de sacrifios para Visnu pero cnvertiendo orgulloso de sus exitos y menos preciando los devotos. Cada tiene sus tentatciones, pero el Bhagavatam es nuestra espalda!!!!!!!    Mas noticias.    Vamos a Lima lunes.

Hare Krsna Maharaja.

HpS - ASA -  Thank you very much for your association.  From our point of view, your letters to Mathuresa Das were wonderful.

Please accept my humblle obaissances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you loved Gurudeva

I sent Vyasapuja letter and it seems that was one of the two erased. Interesting! All what happens is Krishna's will.

We are working a lot in my job, there is a lot of preassure. I think this is the time in my life whre most pressure I had. So it was hard with rounds and sankirtan.

Now it seems that starts to be a little better. We have been praying and sometimes crying for the help of the Lord to do what we came to do in Colombia.  It seems that it works to ask help to the Lord for a "spiritual desire".

So after 3 years of trying to do something in the countryside, and do almost nothing of preaching. We have come to the city.

Now we ask for your blessings, we need it. We can´t do anything without your blessings, and all kind of wonderfull things will be possible with your blessings. All kind of miracles can happen.

We ask for your blessings because we are going to start this project of preaching in a city where we are almost pioneers, there is few devotees, I think just a couple of them chanting rounds, and the preaching work will be a big challenge.

Srila Gurudeva, all we your disciples are very fortunate because you are a very extraordinary soul in this world.

Somehow or other we are getting some taste by your association, and sometimes, for a short time, rounds are nice, kirtan, appreciation for other devotees service, everything is becoming deeper, sweeter, heart seems to change...

Our focus now is to improve sadhana, wake up earlier in the morning and chant good rounds. And searching a place to start Sunday programs in the core center of Medellín city. And some sankirtan.

We pray to Srila Prabhupada and and Lords Gauranga and Nityananda to empower us to serve them properly  in their mission, to please them, and to please you.

Thanks for all your big mercy. More and more we are apreciating that your mercy is coming to us.

Your humble servant. Jambavan das

HpS - AGTSP. All we can do is chant Hare Krsna, our rounds, mangala arati, SB, and preach peacefully. Then Krsna will do the magic as He likes.

AGTSP

Pamho,

Hare Krsna gurudev,

Like I told you, this is the information that I promise one weeks later maybe. Im completly incompetent.

I have not ask tou much help in this step, the next one organizing, yes, but plannig im little alone because bad time managment. Im working now and is completly different.

http://bit.ly/programacongresoiskcon

The devotees are waiting for this program to get ready.

Hare Krsna.

HpS - Of course, we talked about this when we met yesterday. Some Grhastha should do the Grahastha workshop, but we could join with a Sannyasi perspective.
We accept what you have done and what we have heard so far. We can even change it after we get there just by asking everyone if it is alright. I need to see printed copy with you present to make good comments now.

\'o'/  Hare Krsna.  Should be lots of fun!!!!!
Fun produces results!

Hare Krishna Esteemed and beloved Gurudeva,
