HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. at your holy lotus feet also.
Dear Gurudeva:
How are you? I'm so so so (X108) happy, because of your comming. I really can't bealieve that's soon you will be there :D
16 Rounds or less :( I start again with my debt, I think less service can help me for that., and 4 principles ok.
Gurudev you're my daily inspiration, each good thing I make is because of you any good quality I take is because of you and my parents. I started to appreciate it, all the time the people invert on me, to help me. I really thankful for that, hope my actions show it.
The organization of your visit keep on, I keep confirming things. One new door is open. I met a consular of India embassy, and talk with him to introduce you, and he answer about you can take a meeting with them in India Embassy and he can introduce you to the embassador. Are you interest? I think it can be a good seed, to other visits, but wait your answer to confirm. Madhavendra P D, suggest to make a lunch with them, now we are trying to organize your visit.
Yes Gurudeva. Bkt Luis the psychologist is helping, and too Dhanya Lalita :)
I'm so happy the devotees are so interest in help you in every service! They're so inspire because of your visit!
Helping in Education Congress in design stuff.
In my next letter send my VP letter.
HpS - ASA - Actually we have done programs in the Indian Embassy maybe six times in the past and was not much response from their public, and is only useful to meet with the Ambassador if there is specific task. They all know ISKCON quite well already, so I would say that we can ask them to send notices of our programs to anyone they think might be interested but no need to visit them personally now.
Other questions;
1.What can we do with persons, who make a lot of time are in KC, but still taking drugs or like that?
ASA - It is a very individual process. Some go slow, some go fast. Some are Kardama and Devahuti, some are Daksa and Sati. So, get to know them individually as Krsna arranges and then if you have some knowledge to give them, preach to (teach) them. If they don't WANT to listen then keep a respectful attitude, show a good example.
2.You have some new tryptich for Jung? or the same of last year? Diferent persons than last year. With Nikuñja we try to invite the most important person about jung here in Arg, but he will be on Hollydays at these time, and too my contact from my university. But a women who is in charge of one of Jung's schools will come.
HpS - Don't have any tryptic so make one as you like. You could make it with Crayolas. (Ha! Ha! Hare!)
3. New material for the education seminar? or the same?
HpS - Same.
Thanks for your time. Sorry for my long letter.
Always trying to do my best to please you and Srila Prabhupada.
Rati Manjari Devi Dasi.
Please bless me to fix my Japa. I'm so worry to lost myself because of that.
HpS - Yes, is a fact. Make it first thing RIGHT NOW. Without good Japa we become more and more and more stewpud.
Por favor acepte nuestras humildes y respetuosas reverencias.
todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y al movimiento de sankirtan.
Querido gurudeva estamos muy contentos de poder celebrar su viasa puja en el centro cultural de monterrey, usted mos visito 2 veces en el 2012 en ese tiempo teneiamos unos meses de empezar la predica en monterrey, ahora ya tenemos un restaurante y un nuevo centro de reuniones, nos gustaria nuevamente tener su visita y hacer un programa en la universidad y tambien para dar inspiracion a la congregacion.

HpS - ASA - Hare Krsna!!!! Muy buena suerte con todo su predica en Monterrey. Fotos? Claro: Templo bueno, Finca, 1,000 miembros entre do anos!!
HK Paoho Jay Gurudeva, espero que este año que comienza con su honomástico sea más que auspicioso en su predica, y por el programa de Enero del 2015 parece que será así, una comunidad debe ser educada y que mejor que se empiese el año tratando el tema de la educación.
Como lo demuestra la historia los grandes cambios y grandes trasformaciones se dan a partir de que la gente se instruye, y surgen los nuevos líderes.
Si embargo este mes que todavía no acaba es la maratón de Srila Prabhupada y quería compartir esta experiencia de sankirtana:
HpS - Monkey/Piggy - Super!!! TlgaSP!
Llevada por el viento, liviana como una pluma, sostenida por delgadas alas pero tan fuertes…¡Útiles!
En el mundo del sankirtana, dentro de un bus, ¡Oh! La atmosfera se torna hermosas, mar, cielo limpio, claro, estamos en Larcomar, o sorpresa, un accidente automovilístico, no muertos no heridos, salvo una señora que pedía la lleven a un hospital, se golpeó la cabeza contra el asiento de adelante, el carro se detiene…. pero antes, …..¡Extraño! todos los pasajeros sentados salvo la joven que distribuye libros, en su momento más vulnerable, cuando un sankirtanero hace buses al entregar los libros por momentos no se agarra de ningún pasamanos, y si es muy delgado en una parada estrepitosa, se abalanza hacia adelante, pero por reflejos rápidos se cogió de un brazo fuertemente, el brazo se soltó pero el otro reaccionó, se sostuvo, solo así no salí disparada. ¡Auch!
Hare Krsna Hare Krsna, pude haber muerto pensé, me duelen los brazos, más estoy ilesa, me senté un rato, ¡Hare Krsna!. Momento después fue a recoger el libro de la única persona a quien llegué a repartirle, la gente estaba conmocionada por el accidente, a aquel joven asustado le mostró el libro Más allá, el joven sonrió, al bajar del carro a la gente expectante por las ventanas les mostré el libro más allá.
El sankirtanero pensaba pude haber muerto y quería llorar, pues morir así significa el traslado inmediato a un mejor lugar, pensaba para sus adentros, estamos en maya siempre, pero gracias a Srila Prabhupada, puedo hacer este servicio, me purifico y si me toma la muerte en el campo de batalla sabemos que el éxito está asegurado.
Jay Srila Prabhupada!
Jay Gurudeva!
Sankirtana Ki Jay!
HpS - !
Adelantando muy rapido, sus papeles en la drama va a ser mas y mas asombrosos...
Hare Krishna dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Dear Gurudeva,
I apologize for not having presented the ekadasi report in the past few weeks; I've been busy with work issues (every end of year is a little hell at the university). Henceforth I will organize best so i won't fail. We are very happy with your arrival, the enviroment begins to move and devotees's excitement increases.
In NIMSAR, we have been working hard in recent weeks.The mission, vision and values draft is very important because it allows us to establish a coordination in the subtle plane of thought. It is also useful for the website and as institutional presentation material in the Bolivia and Chile congresses.
This sunday, the final document will be approved and move forward. We are also working in the powerpoint presentation that we will present in Chile and Bolivia, the final review will be in charge of Prabhu Patraka . Finally, during the last board meeting NIMSAR academic agenda was proposed for the next year. It was established the organization of Bhakti-sastri and Bhakti-vaibhava contents in a format used in modern universities, this will make easier the course management. In addition, the courses in communications, management and leadership, deity worship, introduction to bhakti yoga and (maybe) the disciple's course. I'm taking this course with Param-padam prabhu online but I will not be allowed to dictate it, until I have five years of being initiated. We will give you details during your visit. I must assume that you must be very busy with your travel arrangements.
The mango season has begun, I'll waiting for you with a few.
See you soon
Your servant,
Bhakta Germán NIMSAR Secretary
HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!! paoho. Yesssssss, if you can send such nice reports each Ekadasi it is nice. They can be very short eg. "Nothing happened these last two weeks except for regular classes by ABC and XYZ". Of course, these educational programs can be taken as the most important preaching in ISKCON. We looked at the Nimsar Web page with the Mission Statement through the link that Patrak Das sent by Twitter.
We will have a formal Nimsar meeting January 1st, after the morning program.
Very good luck for dealing easy with your "material" obligations.
12/16/14 ALL GLORIES TO MIGHTY SRILA PRABHUPADA WHO TOOK IN THE LOST, THE IMMATURE, THE DRUGGED AND OVER STIMULATED, THE UNWASHED, THE SEEKERS- WHOMEVER KRSNA SENT TO HIM, AS A POSSIBLE DISCIPLE, ALTHOUGH HE WAS AN ACARYA WORTHY TO HAVE KINGS AND QUEENS AS DISCIPLES.
Please accept my tearful dundavats and pranamas as the date for your vyasa puja draws nearer, my dear most Guru Maharaja. How I wish I could celebrate it in person with you and your other disciples, my God-brothers and sisters. But I am very fallen and do not deserve this priviledge so must accept this sorrow. Still I hope you accept my sincere gratitude for your eternal frienship, your shelter and understanding and advice, your fixed and steady example, your faithfulness to HDG Srila Prabhupada; your faithfulness to all your disciples; your acceptance of Monkey and Piggy as your alter ego to the benefit of fallen souls.
Turns out Lila has early kidney disease. She was on a regular diet which included limited (but too much) salt and phosphate which caused a renal crisis. Now she is on special renal diet; her health is normalizing. Kidneys will continue to deteorate but correct diet will slow down that process. Also has intestinal problems for which she is on medication; is improving. I hope she can skip human birth; I personally recommend it!
HpS - Ha! Ha! Of course, someone might comment that taking birth in the West we may not have actually experienced "human birth".
Wow your schedule is ambitious!! Whenever are you going to have time for Ayruvedic Conferences next year?? So, when you are in San Jose late July 2015 is the best time to approach you re. a possible darsana date with you at Sac preaching center?
HpS - Yes, seems like nice time to visit Sacramento! The Ayur vedic stuff seems like it won't happen. What we have to offer is mostly already available in USA, but we will see.
Re. Preaching Center: Mahat Tattva Das (look up his web pages AND YOU TUBE STUFF) who is currently San Diego Temple President, publishes a magazine for the young beach crowd entitled 16 ROUNDS TO SAMHADI, scheduled to take sanyas 2016, very fixed up, excellent communicater, has been approved by GBC to be our "captain." Before he can move here, we must be able to pay rent for a barely adequate brahmacari dwelling close to Sac State for him and other brahmacaris. Now he is helping us in pledge drive so we can rent our own center building sometime next year. For now, he drives to Sac from San Diego about every month and a half; will be here next Sat. MEANWHILE, xxx, young, charismatic prabhus from Fiji, who have been part of this group of devotees for a long time, swayed about half the group to follow them to start up their own preaching - future temple - program elsewhere in Sac. We are all sad but Mahat Tattva Das said, though saddened, upon seeing our pledges and dedication, he is uplifted and hopeful we will be able to push forward Srila Prabhupada's mission as we all long to do.
OK,Wow, "Esteemed, Kalindi Devi Dasi Mataji, Prabhu" Good ole' Monkey and Piggy, always able to instill wisdom by the use of exaggeration and humor!! Last Sat at the center Sangeeta Mataji came up to me and said, "You know of course that we all look to you as our mother...". So between your advice and her words I understand "Kalindi Mataji" is just fine, Krsna's arrangement and a responsibilty.
Please help me pray for larger home, closer to Sac, which we can afford. I am not generally any more inclined to pray for material benefits, but in this case, it is absolutely mandatory for continuance of serving SSG, G and maintaining KC lifestyle until death.
HpS - ASA - - Maybe Krsna wants you to pray for facility for your service so that you will appreciate it.
Here's hoping your Vyasa Puja is all your disciples want it to be. I have a picture of you bathed in God's glow taken at Ratha Yatra. If D.P can help me, I will download it to your site for Vyasa Puja as I believe you and your disciples will be blessed by it.
Hare Krsna! YWS, Kalindi Mataji
HpS - Jaya! AGTSP! Lila has a very bright future. Keep some Prasdam going out always.
