Haré Krsna Querido GM

porfAvor acepta mis humildes reverencias

todas las glorias a Srla Prabhupada

Esa pregunta que me hizo de que si quiero seguir ese programa de joven o durare así hasta viejo me ha puesto a reflexionar mucho.

en el programa del bus tour de centro América tube muchas pruebas debido a que me enferme de dengue y me costó mucho ser consciente de Krsna, casi no salgo vivo y no me refiero al cuerpo.

Decidí pedirle a P aravinda q me enviara a México DF porque no pude resistir el ritmo.

ya llevó casi 4 años de una maratón de sankirtan a otra maratón a de sankirtan sin parar a un ritmo muy intenso, quizá podría durar unos 2 o 3 años más así pero seguro q no toda mi vida.

Viviendo ahorita en el templo me he dado cuenta q me quiero volver experto en cocinar, tocar instrumentos, leer, estudiar, vestir a PRABHUPADA y experimentar un poco de bondad para empezar a desarrollar cualidades brahminicas para poder algún día servir a la deidad en el altar e igual también aquí podemos salir a sankirtan y hacer un grupo de sankirtan.

yo quisiera consultar con usted querido padre espiritual pues he analizado mucho lo que usted me escribe y no quiero especular en esta desicion, a usted que le parece mejor para mi vida, ¿sigo con el intenso ritmo de sankirtan sin parar? ¿O me tomó un periodo en el templo igual con sankirtan pero también aprendiendo otras facetas de la vida espiritual? 

Porfavor instruyame sobre qué es lo mejor para mi, que es lo que más lo satisface GM ?

muchas gracias mi querido GM, lo que más deceo es poder servirlo toda mi vida.

su sirviente

HpS - ASA - TlgaSP.  Pfanrh. No se los detalles. Si es Sankirtan viajero y Sankirtan desde el Templo. Pujari. Eso es la epoca de Sankirtana, entonces acuerdo de la naturaleza de uno, uno tiene que adoptar una posicion bueno.

NOI 8 tiene diferentes niveles de desarrolla de nuestra Sankirtan. Si es Sankirtan viajero o Sankirtan por meodio de adoracion de Radha Madan Gopal tiene que ser continua, continua y inenso, y continua, intenso y amplio.

O.K?

Possible hace tiempo clarificar mas su posicion en el movimiento de Sankirtan de Srila Prabhupada, pero un estandard bueno es: "Como esta mejorando mi Japa y 4-princiopios esta servicio?" Consultacion que sus asociados que conocen su naturaleza bien.

All Glories to You Dear GuruMaharaja

Dear Gurudeva I want to thank You for asking about this useless aspiring servant and tell You that due to Your Mercy this donkey is healthy, a bit thinnery  but it is better that way....My dear daughter Radhika is healthy too. I see her in the school in the break time.(every time i can i give her some Prasadam). Now i am not working.

I am following 4 principles without problems, I am chanting 20 rounds daily, woreshipping Sri Sri Parama Karuna Goura Nitay Altar and reading Krshna Book, Nectar of Instruction, Bhagavad Gita however because i am a fallen person i still attached to this material world.

I would like to tell You that i have the association of devotees from Tarapoto; every vaisnava feast we went to distribute some prasadam, sing, and preaching to diferent poor places. I also helped Prabhu Maha Bhandu in two Books Fairs.

Prabhu Yadhu was here two times, he was in my house. He has plans to live here and buy some lands. Also came Prabhu Bhadra Rupa Das and Madre Maha Vidya D D from Germany.

Well this is all for this time... I want to thank You again for all the service You do. May the Lord Nrisimha always protect You .....

Attached is my altar

HpS - AGTSP very nice. Paoho. Thank you so much for the news. You have the nicest thing to sell, Krsna! So let us see how you get more and more customers.

Relationship with your good wife is more simple now, clear?

Please write from time to time!!  We need a reporter from Tarapoto! Also very nice to hear about Yadu. We worry about him.

Your altar is like heaven!

Dear Gurumaharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I wish to inform you on how things are going. Principles and japa according to standard, and attempting to inject more feeling and sincerity.

. . . . HpS - ASA - !

Still, honestly said, it's a turbulent mental state, Gurudeva. Not much silence. The last two months i started going out for sankirtan by myself in the next big town. While i'm on unemployment benefits it is a nice thing to do, and it works miracles for my KC. Your question about collecting addresses, i hand out temple cards and invitations, and sometimes i share my personal email, but i don't ask for people's data. I heard some seniors say book distribution is not so potent if you don't keep in touch, but it feels awkward to me because i don't wanna infringe on people. Should i ask people anyway?

   ASA - It is very personal. There is no harm doing what you fell is natural.

Scores are: 3 gita, 25 SSR, 16 Path to Perfection, 20 Chant & Be Happy.

    HpS - Very, very nice!

I was trying to do something useful for Srila Prabhupada by seeing for publishing On Chanting Hare Krishna, but so far i didn't make much progress. Copyrights and the BBT giant needs some understanding from my side, communicating with the Dutch BBT person went slowly. The project is put aside for now, because something else came up. Already for a few years RNS devotees think about translating the Journey Home, and finally it is getting tangible. I am so fortunate to get to do the translation. I deadlined december 4th, with extra space until 23rd. I hope you can appreciate this. It is impertinent to ask for your blessings after things are already decided, but without them it will not be very auspicious.

HpS - ASA - God bless the book.

I'm happy with it, especially now that i finally have some project. So far several attempts to start something didn't really take off. So i will dedicate myself as much as possible, and i shall stay in Amsterdam temple for a while sometimes to get more work done. My wife is not too happy with my 'crazy energy' if i'm at home too much of the time.

My work as editor for Dutch ISKCON magazine will change. People weren't very interested, so subscriptions faltered, Benelux council said. At the same time i was thinking how to make it more attractive, and i started to create some new vision, but then out of nothing i was told GBC decided to terminate, and do a Dutch translation of BTG instead. "In Italy it worked." I wasn't asked anything, just a notice after the decision was made.

    HpS - Hmmmf! People just don't know how to respect a good man! (Or maybe we are idiots and they just did the right thing. Ha, Ha, Hare...)

So after deliberating I decided to quit my contribution. On one side I see the servant shouldn't care about the details, but on the other side I don't like such kind of dealings. Instead I will work more on expansion of Dutch online website content, after Journey Home is finished. It dawned on me that I do serve my own agenda Gurumaharaja, i have to admit.

I had some nice exchanges with Dutch seniors while preparing for RY Amsterdam, and it inspired me to keep growing as ISKCON devotee, so that one day i might be qualified to do something that will please you and Srila Prabhupada Very Much.

I'm very happy for the South American yatra. They derive much inspiration from your coming visit. It's a wonderful life this way. Thank you very much, Gurumaharaja. May you inspire people ever more.

Your aspiring servant,
Raghava Pandita dasa

 HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho.   Just keep going ahead. Look for a nice job where you can give you association to the workforce slowly and gently and make money and preach. Look for place to continue with the publishing efforts. You are certainly on the right path, 20-times over! Krsna will certainly send you all kinds of possibilities!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my humble obeisances

Dear Guru Deva:

In these days I could have listened to beautiful classes of Mahatma Prabhu. Training to be able for devotees' service. I visiting some devotees but more time a new bhaktas.

I'm tryng to share and learn with them. We have big challenges, as helping to develop a balance in the personal activities that is propitious to Chant. I try to wake me to Mangala aratik everyday just when I sleep too late I wake up late but I'm Chanting in morning. and taking the challenger to keep me in the way to follow ISKCON for all my life. Just appreciating the favorable things and suppressing the envy and lust of my heart.

I'm using siksa program (by Congregational Development Ministry), I think that is very important tryning and learning. The Education Program is very need for development congregation. I pray for you guide to can keep good rounds and chanting between the devotees.

your simple crew member AniruddhaKrsna Das

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP. paoho. It is very nice to hear from you. What book are you going to write? It should be a story about an owl and rat, no?    Maybe somebody else. Tell us about the story.

Hare Krishna

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

all glories to Sri Guru and Gouranga

Its not doubt that only by guru's mercy we can advance (literally) 

HpS - ASA - AGTSP! paoho. Srila Prabhupada has had to put up with so much selfishness from us for so long. When will we get free from it.

Thank you so much for your support with my visa process , i dont want to disturb you in any way.

Today i wrote my essay acording your recomendation and i send it to Saranga Thakur prabhu. We will know news until oct Monday 13 or Tuesday 14, but if is not resolution by 15 i cant stay in US longer, permission expire in oct thu 16.

The service in the school it hard but with a looot of rewards. Last week was Giriraj Maharaj vyasa puja and He was here, the kids made a card for him and a little presentation.

The parents are really happy with the results in this first month. The pure devotion in this kids inspire me, i feel like im learnig more of them . We have 7 kids in our class and 5 with Subra mataji. 

Gurudeva,   I'm in complete dependence of you and Krishna's desire.

Your servant  Govinda Pramodini DD

HpS - Rupanuga Das told us that Prabhupada said, "When will my Sannysasi become like these Christian Fathers and teach in the Gurukula?!". If Krsna wants you to stay, you will stay. If He has some other plan, you will go. Nothing but bright future if you get up early and get 16-enthusiastic rounds done.

Let us know the results.

Super fotos!

Aspirando a poder servirlo
