HpS - ASA - AGTSP. paoho. Oscar has been very, very uncharacteristically slow in sending his DVD, so TODAY we were wondering what has happened to our efforts. Ha! Ha! Ha! and now you write!
I sent it to your's and Ambarisa's addresses. If you need any more help let us know. We are your servants.
 

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeiscences, all glories to Srila Prabhupada and Lord Gauranga.

How is your health Maharaj? Couple of weeks back we heard your lecture that was given in Houston, Tx. unfortunately we could hear it completely (stopped in the middle, some issues with internet) Spoke to Radhika Raman Prabhu an hour back and got your information.

ISKCON of Richmond, VA devotees are waiting for your association Maharaj, Is there any chance that you can accommodate a trip to this place (any week-end or anytime at your convenient) in this summer. Now we are a bit stream lined the process and trying to outreach people through "Book Distributions", street Kirtana and celebrating the festivals (inviting the public).

On our personal front, by the mercy of "Nitai Chaitanya Chandra" and "your belssings", sadhana is going well (Chanting and Everyday reading), Attending BYC @ VCU (every Tuesday) and attending "Bhakti Shastri" (all three of us) along with our weekly ISKCON of Richmond program (Book distribution).

And also we have a plan to visit India this summer (after 3 years), Kids and KPDD will leave JUN 13th and back on Aug 09th and I will be leaving on JUL 12th back on Aug09.

Maharaj, it feels like a long time, please consider a trip to Richmond, Va.

Your Humble Servant,

Subala Sakha Das (Srinivas) and Krishna Pramodini Devi Dasi

HpS - Aaaaah!  AGTSP paoho. Such a long, long, time since we have heard from you. It is so sad not to get more frequent news!  Yes, we would like very much to visit Virginia. How to do it???     Practically speaking it seems with your your travels and our travels we are BOOKED almost day to day until 1st week in Octoboer. If you look at our Calendar - ww.jayarama.us/kd/cal.htm, you can see the details:

Nashville, Houston, Nashville, India-Europe, Nashville, West-coasts - Mexico - Houston, South America, Nashville..... 

How about that? We plan a good visit in the Fall or Winter?

Your preaching sounds wonderful and if your travel coincides with the program on the calendar we can meet their also. Of course, our very deept respects to Mataji and "the next generation" in your house.

Dear Gurudeva,
Pleas accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Sri Guru Parampara.
All glories to this Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Sankirtana Movement!!!
All glories to my spiritual master, a bonafide succesor of the Guru Parampara.

Constantly i remember how blessed i was to have been able to serve you in Bolivia's festival at Mathuresh prabhu's hose. Every time that remembrance come into my mind i feel like if it was yesterday that i heard the bhagavata philosophy from your own lips. I just find myself unable to thank you for so much mercy.
As you asked me and Sri Radha D.D. we went to another astrologer and he asked us to wait until November for attempting to marring because of some planets of me. For us it's ok, we still have so much things to work on our own consciousness, even though, we are very happy together.

Gurudeva, i also spoke to you about Queretaro's preaching center project, now i live in Queretaro city and next week i will sign the contract for the house we all (the devotees we are traning from the city) are going to rent for that purport. Im very happy Krsna is allowing me to do this wonderfull service. Yesterday ISKCON Queretaro participated into a local economy festival at the main plaza and even though i could not be there (because i came to my brother's wedding) devotees from Cueramaro helped us by going there and support with BBT table and also kirtan in the scenario. The congregation in Queretaro is very happy and thankfull towards Srila Prabhupada, they are very eager to expand this movement all over the city.

The last thing i want to thank you for, is all the inspiration i recieve every day through your words, acts and desires of pleasing Srila Prabhupada. As a result of that inspiration, now i engaged into a project of translating all the information from www.TOVP.org such as video-documentaries, video-interviews, written interviews and written news, so that the spanish speaker devotees can benefit by participating at that very wonderfull project in Sri Mayapur-Dhama. I have to admit that i'm very surprised of Krsna's ways... I started this all alone last month, translating the raising moon video, it took me the whole month, but suddently when i started to post it into Facebook and also admin a new FB page with the news and so on, more and more devotees started to ask: What can i do to help more devotees get benefited?.

My heart is completely thankfull to you Gurudeva, for allowing me to participate into this transcendental pastime of Lord Gauranga manifest in this material world.

Your Forever aspirant servant,
Krishna-kirtana Dasa.

HpS - ASA ---   AGTSP. paoho.

Thank you so much for the news!!!   We hope to visit Bolivia again.
 

 There are some highly qualified persons who accept only the good qualities of others. Just as a bee is always interested in the honey in the flower and does not consider the thorns and colors, highly qualified persons, who are uncommon, accept only the good qualities of others, not considering their bad qualities, whereas the common man can judge what are good qualities and what are bad qualities.

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 4.4.12  .....   PURPORT: ...

There are some highly qualified persons who accept only the good qualities of others. Just as a bee is always interested in the honey in the flower and does not consider the thorns and colors, highly qualified persons, who are uncommon, accept only the good qualities of others, not considering their bad qualities, whereas the common man can judge what are good qualities and what are bad qualities.

Among the uncommonly good souls there are still gradations, and the best good soul is one who accepts an insignificant asset of a person and magnifies that good quality.

Even greater are those who see the BAD qualities of others as good qualities. 

Cuando va en Hari-nama Sankirtana siempre lleva banderas colorosos. Incluya dramas simples pero con mucho entusiasmo en su predica.

Mas noticias. Estamos siguendo sus pasos.

Hare Krsna Maharaj,
PAMHO, AGTSP

Just wanted to share, even Bhakti Vinod Thakur thougt something inappropriate about SB, what about conditioned souls

"The Bhagavat, like all religious works and philosophical performances and writings of great men, has suffered from the imprudent conduct of useless readers and stupid critics. The former have done so much injury to the work that they have surpassed the latter in their evil consequence. Men of brilliant thoughts have passed by the work in quest of Truth and Philosophy, but the prejudice imbibed from It's useless readers and their conduct prevented them from making a candid investigation...This prejudice is not easily shaken when the student grows up unless he candidly studies the Book and ruminates on the doctrines of Vaishnavism. We are ourselves the fact. When we were in college, reading the philosophical works of the West and exchanging thought with the thinkers of the day, we had a real hatred of the Bhagavata. That great work looked like a repository of wicked and stupid ideas scarcely adapted to the nineteenth century, and we hated to hear any arguments in It's favour...Oh! What a trouble to get rid of prejudices gathered in unripe years."
(excerpted from The Bhagavata Speech, Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur, 1869)

HpS - AGTSP paoho. Thank you so, so much.  Right in the Introduction to the SB:

"In the modern age Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu preached the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam by practical demonstration. It is easier to penetrate into the topics of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam through the medium of Śrī Caitanya's causeless mercy. Therefore a short sketch of His life and precepts is inserted herein to help the reader understand the real merit of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.

It is imperative that one learn the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam from the person Bhāgavatam. The person Bhāgavatam is one whose very life is Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam in practice. Since Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the Absolute Personality of Godhead, He is both Bhagavān and Bhāgavatam in person and in sound. Therefore His process of approaching the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is practical for all people of the world. It was His wish that the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam be preached in every nook and corner of the world by those who happened to take their birth in India."

Dr. Samaresh suggests that we shoot for release of our next book by Prime Minister of India while the HpS and Monkey and Piggy are in India, 7-12th of May. Are you ready!??  Sri Hari Das says he can help from Mathura, visits to New Delhi.
We will call you all. You are the hope of Asia.

I present my respect and sincere reverences.

Thank and glorify Srila Prabhupada, who always are giving us shelter in his lotus feets and books. May Lord Nrisimhadeva always take care of you.

How are you Gurudeva? How is the sankirtana?

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP!  Paoho... We are suffering from our hypocrisy and also making progress toward Goloka by Srila Prabhupada and ISKCON mercy.

We read in the blog that you were chilling and with some liver discomfort, I hope you recover soon. *

Sorry for writing at this time of year, Maya ran over us a little, but the Maha Mantra, your mercy and Sri Govinda, rehabilitated us. We're begging for daily intelligence to understand things, asking Sri Nrsimhadeva to protect us from our false ego, from committing offenses and to act in the best way possible as servants. As you say, Maya is our coach.

Trying to be concise I present my Sadhanna report:

-We are following (fighting bravely) 4 principles and 16 rounds.

-I've started reading the Srimad Bhagavatam!!!

-I'm studying the Disciples Course with Param Padam prabhu.

-We have sown Srimati Tulasi devi seeds! I'm excited, I am chanting my rounds near the pot looking forward to the first outbreak!

Seva:

• My service in the Wilson temple visual communications, have been elected as my official service to the temple. ( a requirement for the initiation)
•  Bhakti Vriksha, I'm worried because the group do not increase, but they're encouraged members who are increasing their rounds, doing enthusiastic service to the temple and having realizations. We are organizing ourselves a Bhakti vriksha festival to attract people. I remember that once Gurudeva spoke about organizing festivals on Prabhupada's books: NOI, NOD, etc. would contribute to the Sankirtan of Gurudeva, I'll talk to Jagat Pavitram prabhu and Omkara prabhu to implement this great idea. I'll also ask Nimsar if they can colaborate in giving the conference of the respective book. We also need to have a conversation with the Sankirtan authorities to have a good amount of copies of the book for that day. In the medium term I hope to tell you more about this project.

Thank you very much for your mercy, because of it, problems become very important lessons.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva!<img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

*PS 1: When His Holiness returns to Lima, maybe you try a natural remedy, which is a drink made from a bitter local herb called Hercampuri, it purifies the blood, facilitates blood circulation and energizes the body, I think it might relieve some discomforts.

PD2: In your last visit to Lima, in the first class you gave in Wilson you wore he garland I promised you in a previous letter =)  In August a beautiful garland and a big  jar of organic peanut butter will be waiting for you!

HpS - ASA --- Very nice. You are on the correct path. Just go ahead as fast as you can but don't fall off the path.  Enthusiasm and patience. Pray to Krsna to get stable material situation.

PAMHO; AGTSP.

   Querido Guru Maharaha, Seguimos haciendo servicio en Malaga. Sin practicar sexo ilicito, ni licito. Sin carne ni huevos ni pescado, . Nada de juegos de azar; nada de intoxicantes. Todo esto, gracias a Su Misericordia ilimitada. 17 rondas minimo. La gran medicina del alma. Aun asi espero que con el tiempo todo esto mejore. Tendré que incrementar la paciencia.

Seguimos los programas regularmente, sobre todo los matinales.

He dado tres dias de clase sobre el SB 1,1,2 y una clase de CC. Los devotos quedaron contentos. Hay que mejorar Jñana y Vijñana.

Luchando arduamente, continuamente, constantemente, lamentablemente, etc con la mente, ego falso, y los 5 sentidos. Asi que no se puede decir que estamos sólos.

  Seguimos haciendo servicio en Malaga.

Un dia de Sankirtan: 2 Problemas materiales  soluciones espirituales, en 3 horas y un descanso para la espalda, sentado unos 15 m. Aunque lo importante es salir. Malaga es un sitio dificil, algun dia más saldré.

  17 rondas minimo. La gran medicina del alma.

  Para mi estos son tiempos dificiles al mismo tiempo que pienso que es maravilloso el camino que estoy recorriendo, a más dificultades más purificación, es un hecho que hay grandes cambios. Estoy planteandome nuevas posibilidades y caminos dentro del mismo camino. No es el momento de hacer cambios de templo o lugar. Aunque si pueden ser cambios de perspectiva, tiempo, de  adaptación al clima, circustancias etc.

Todos los Vaisnavas son almas espirituales que de alguna manera estan entregando su vida a Krishna, y por lo tanto también son hermanos....

   ¿Va a ir a Nueva Vrajamandala? Si es asi ¿que dias? Estaría bien que nos viesemos, si no es asi, espero verle pronto en otra ocasión. La vida espiritual no es facil......espero poder seguir 4-16 vida tras vida. Aunque haciendo balance se puede decir que todo va bastante bien. Momento de continuar.

Perdone otra vez todas mis ofensas....

Jharikhanda-gaura Das
