PAMHO AGTSP

Hare Krsna, Dear Gurudev

Here in Peru we have a very nice program with Baladeva Prabhu.

There are a lot people who are very satisfied and interested to take more courses. He made conflict resolution and mediation workshops and we are enthusiastic to organize more courses and other surprises.

Baladeva Prabhu told us that he has been trying of communicating with you and Ramgiridhari Prabhu writing to your and his e-mail address. However, he did not receive answers.

HpS - We never, never received one letter from Prabhuji!!!   I wrote to him a couple of times. I don't know if those got lost!   I do know that Ramagiridhari told me that he had answered one of Baladeva's letters and only heard that Baladeva Prabhu told him he would get back to him but he had some more things to do.

Jiva shakti sent letters to RGD and RGD told me that he answered twice with copies to me, and I never got them. This happens sometimes from India with other people I know also. That's why it is important to call by telephone also.  If we are very determined we can try to write to the person, call them and then try to communicate throught there associates.  I tried to do that in our efforts to connect with Vaisesika Das, but in the end we could not connect.

Maybe this is because we are not pure devotees. Maybe it is Krsna's desire. In any case, let's go ahead. Another Hispanomerica Education Symposium in Chile?

Besides, Jagat guru did not answer him about Chilean educational conference. I said him that he should write you to Monkey Warrior. Thank you for your patience. ss Abhinanda das

HpS - Yes!!!!   This is a good communication format!    Yes, Jagat-guru Prabhu and his associates send us news about working on the project, but it is not going ahead very strongly. I told them in August that they should fix the city, week, organizing team and basic content, and then publish it immediately. Then everyone knows what is happening and can make rough plans for their calendars. We still have not seen that.

That is O.K.

Maybe we will have another kind of program in Santiago at the end of January. We have our ticket. We will be there. Please don't think that I am saying these things critically because I think that I am doing better or am better than others. Honestly, we are just as disorganized and lazy and greedy from some perspectives as everybody else.
Externally we have a nice perspective: 16-nice rounds and 4-principles strictly. Of course, if we want to have a penetrating understanding of things then we have to penetrate more. Is a wife chaste? Well, she doesn't have sexual relations with any man but her religiously married husband ...  but ... she jokes with and touches other men, and contemplates "romantic affairs" with them.

So, at least let's be Madhyama adhikaris and follow Srila Prabhupada's external standard and then we can judge our individual devotion in detail from more advanced level later.
ISKCON Vaikuntha although maybe not ISKCON Goloka.

Look at Cc. Madhya 15.102 and the subsequent  verses.

Shall we have a symposium on these verses when we visit Peru?

Hare Krisna Querido Guru Maharaja

Le cuento q estos dias ha sido puro nectar en templo de mexico df llego Maha Vishnu swami y se ha hecho mucha predica.  es muy entusiasta en salir siempre a harinamaaa y se distribuyen mucho libros, hemos salido los fines de semana a sankirtan con la camioneta nueva q compramos en el templo, ya casi la terminamos de pagar.

SS Maha Vishnu me pidio q fuera con el a colombia del 10 al 23 de noviembre, y me ayudo a pagar el pasaje, me siento muy afortunado porque es un gran gran alma!!

gracias a su miscericordia he seguido su instruccion de levantarme temprano y cantar las vueltas minimas antes del amanecer, he estado analizando mucho mi naturaleza como ud me lo pidio y estoy descubriendome.

la verdad, me gustaria mucho en el trayecto de mi vida devocional poder por lo menos unos meses viajar con SS Maha Vishnu Swami y ser entrenado en el canto de los santos nombre, el me comento q estaria dispuesto a ser mi siksaguru pero quiciera preguntarle si ud esta deacuerdo o que planes tiene para mi,

HpS - TlgaSP!!!   pfanrh....  Conozco a Maharaja para un tiempo aqui aca.  Somos simpaticos. No se las detalles de su perspectivo ni modo de Sankirtana, pero a mi parece que es bueno acceptar el como un Siksa guru. Sudama Swami dijo que Prabhupada le dijo que cualquiere persona que anima nosotros en servicio devocional, citando las escrituras, o la palabras de los Acharyas relevantes previos son nuestra Siksa gurus. Entonces uno puede ser Vartmana pradarsika siksa guru, Rasa siksa guru; Kanistha, Madhyama o Uttama-adhikari siksa guru.
O.K?

Siento q necesito trabajar mas tiempo con mi intronspeccion pues tengo que ser un ejemplo para los devotos nuevos y no he logrado serlo, asi q deceo seguir sirviendolo desde el Brahmacary ashrama con mas tiempo y dedicacion.

estamos trabajando en videos educativos para toda la comunidad, ahora ya tenemos clases de Maestros Espirituales en nuestro canal de youtube  que se llama Iskcon mexico tv.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7Vk_hLC9U5TshqZL43hxng

HpS - ASA  ----   Ahhh, muchas conferencias alla. Claro, si puede mejorar el audio es bueno, no, pero bueno.  Los conferencias de Srila Prabhupada son disponibles en Youtube en Espanol?

mi vida gira entorno a su vida espiritual, porfavor considere como aspirante a ser un polvo a sus pies de loto.

HpS - ASA   ---   Tienso tenemos pies de manzana, y en ISKCON podemos ciertamente tomar refugio de los pies de loto de Srila Prabhupada con Acharya-Fundador. Cuando tenemos pies de loto podemos facilmente entender ciertamente quien tiene pies de perro, puerco, ser humano, rosa, loto...

su eterno sirvirete Vrajendra Kumara Dasa

HpS -  Muy bien oir de Vd y la predica en Mexico!!!!   Muy bien!!    Mas en unos dias.

Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All the glories to Srila Prabhupada!

According to what we have lived here in Chosica, especially the last years, our perspectives have been changing about where to live. So we are planning our years 2016-17-18, and it seems Sita-lalita is going to continue with her studies of English to be a teacher in the ICPNA (institute in lima)  and she is also starting to prepare to apply to Lima s Conservatory… Bibhatsu Arjuna is also going to study english in the ICPNA in Lima, and he asked us to dedícate this year just to that, after finishing his secondary (this year he finishes) and in his gap year, he is going to decide what he wants for his future.

So we have thought of living in Lima starting 2016, but not in the house of my parents in law or my family, but, we would rent a house, and at the same time it could have other functions… Some time ago we have been thinking of opening a Cultural Center in Lima, where we could live, have a business as a boutique, restaurant, cultural workshops and especially a place that can be useful to preach…

HpS - ASA - Sounds so nice.

Because we have to live in lima, because of work and studies, to prevent expenses, this is our way to be not so close to the temple, but to be hooked with preaches, and to shelve living confortably at home watching televition and enjoying with the family and Friends… In fact, we have more details about this proposal, and even we have advansed talks with a couple of partners devotees and Friends with whom we would work for this Project… Now we are at the stage of asking for advice, and yours is the most important for us. What do you think?

HpS - Sangat sanjayate Kamah.  Our desires and ambitions develop from the company we keep. So seems nice to get a residence near to devotees with whom you can preach. We don't know details, but Caturatma, Palika, Abhirama, Maria, Patrak are all in the same area. Maybe that is a good place for a preaching program.
Hare Krsna! Hare Rama!

Also, you can see our days for visiting Lima in January and February. We will have initiations for Sita and Karuna those days?
 

What do you think???
 

Your servant Anandamaya das

Querido Gurudeva,

Por favor acepte nuestras humildes reverencias. Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Debido a lo que hemos vivido aquí en Chosica, especialmente los últimos años, han ido cambiado nuestras perspectivas con respecto a donde vivir. Así que estamos planificando nuestros años 2016-17-18, y al parecer Sita Lalita va a continuar sus estudios de Ingles para profesora en el ICPNA (instituto en Lima)  y comenzar a prepararse en el conservatorio de música (Lima), para presentarse a admisión…. Bibhatsu Arjuna también estudiaría ingles en el ICPNA de Lima, y nos pidió solo dedicarse a eso por un año, después de acabar su secundaria (este año acaba) y en este año sabático, va a decidir que oficio tomar para su futuro.

Entonces hemos pensado vivir en Lima a partir del 2016, pero no en casa de mis suegros o de mi familia, si no, alquilaríamos una casa, que tenga otras funciones… Desde hace un tiempo estamos pensando en abrir un Centro  Cultural en Lima, donde podamos vivir, tener algún negocio como boutique, restaurante, talleres culturales, y especialmente nos sirva para poder predicar…

Debido a que tenemos que vivir en Lima, por los estudios y mi trabajo, para evitar gastos, esta es nuestra manera de estar lejos del templo, pero seguir enganchados con la predica, y dejar del lado de estar cómodos en una casa viendo televisión y disfrutando con la familia y amigos… De hecho tenemos más detalles acerca de esta propuesta, e incluso tenemos conversaciones avanzadas con un par de devotos socios y amigos con quienes trabajaríamos este proyecto… Ahora estamos en la etapa de pedir consejos, y el suyo es el más importante para nosotros. Usted qué opina?

                                                                                                                                                        Su Sirviente AmD

Hare Krsna Maharaja. PAMHO.

HpS - Jaya!   AGTSP.   Thank you for the report. It is so hard doing anything in the current epoch. Always manage our own life, Japa, rise early, read books, first. Unless we are strong, how can we help others.
What is happening with Laksmana?  I can't reach him on the phone and neither can Abhirama. Has he become Mayor of Chosica????

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I have a question in connection to what you wrote in last KD.

From last KD :"For us is just as important eliminating programs that are not working as developing plans that are working."

~~~

How to discern what is working (what programs, projects) and what not? For example, a Sunday program at the temple (aka Sunday Feast). How to understand if it works in a way that pleases Krsna? Other example,  a Local Yatra project, or National Yatra project? 

Very grateful, 
Namacarya das

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP ... I guess the basic idea is whether Krsna was happy after the Battle of Kuruksetra or not, no?   Did Yuddhistira feel that he had eliminated a government and governors that weren't working?

In the end Bhisma convinced him that he had eliminate the right things.

What do you think of:

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, reciba mis reverencias desde la ciudad de Puno.  Nuevamente volvimos a viajar a Bolivia por 8 dias, hicimos Sankirtan en la ciudad de Oruro por 3 dias y en la ciudad de La Paz por 4 dias con asociación de Prabhu Adveita.

Llegamos hace 2 dias a la Ciudad de Puno y también estamos haciendo Sankirtan con Prabhu Adveita Thakur.

Nuestro Sankirtan fue el Siguiente:

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi 172 libros pequeños y  3 Bhagavad - Gita Poket, 12 Ciencias de la Autorrealización y 2 Viajes al Autoconocimiento.

Gadai Gauranga Das 216 libros pequeños y 2 Bhagavad - Gita Poket.

En total son 407 libros distribuidos.

Entre Perú y Bolivia, en estas zonas del altiplano ya estan comenzando las lluvias fuertes, pero igual seguimos haciendo Sankirtan, esperemos que las lluvias no sean tan fuertes.

Estaremos por Puno hasta el dia 4 de noviembre (Esperamos comprar nuestros pasajes a India en estos dias).

Despues iremos a la ciudad de Arequipa por una semana del 4 al 10 de noviembre a hacer Sankirtan.

Despues a Lima - Chosica por una semana del 10 al 16 de noviembre (visitando familiares). 

Despues del 17 de noviembre al 31 de diciembre haremos la marathon de Srila Prabhupada entre las ciudades de Huancayo  y  Ayacucho. Esté es el plan que manejamos hasta fines de año 2015, a no ser que el Señor Nityananda cambie los planes.

Nuestro Sadhana 5 am Mangal Artik, nuestras rondas de Japa Gadai 16 rondas y un poquito más y Nadiya  Nivasi 25 rondas, 4 principios regulativos, adorando las Silas, estamos leyendo el Srimad - Bhagavatam, cap 7 (El castigo del hijo de Drona) texo 19. 

Por segunda ves estoy leyendo el Nityananda Caritamrta, Cap 2 (Los viajes del Señor Nityananda a los lugares Santos).  Madre Nadiya Nivasi esta leyendo la Ciencia de la Autorrealización.

Cada ves estamos menos tiempo en un lugar, a veces solo 3 ó 5 dias, nos parece interezante como el cuerpo cambia y se adecua a cada ciudad a la que vamos, madre Nadiya Nivasi esta mejorando de salud.

Es mejor viajar por unos dias a cada ciudad, pues asi se mantienen las buenas relaciones con los devotos y personas que nos rodean, eso es lo que experimentamos y en realidad es bueno para nosotros.

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido y que Nrisimha lo proteja, un abrazo!!!  Hare Krsna.

Gadai Gauranga Das
