All Glories to Holy Names

All Glories to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

All Glories to Devotees

Please accept my must humble obeisance to your feet.

I wrote you before you go to India. Sorry for write again without the answer of previous letter. My situation not change a lot, like I told you during your visit. Yet the sadness and frustration still here so present, but thanks to your merciful instructions the things going better. My moodiness and anxiety have dropped. This process is practiced with joy so obviously I am committing some fault.

ASA - AGTSP  Seems you mean "without joy".

4 pple and 16 rounds OK, sometimes recovering some of them. I keep organizing things thats I was delay in your previous visit, please bless me to do that service with better consciousness.

I was reading all the letters I wrote in the Blog, and always appears the same instruction, and I effort to follow like the first time, chant better Japa, with that weapon Krsna will control all situations in the best way. I don't know why I keep attached to things that´s no good for improve in Spiritual Life...
I began to exercising, the feelings, no easy, no connection about what is the heart, only brain stuff. Ouch!
Hope your health improve soon from your India's trip. I pray to Sri Krsna and Srila Prabhupada for that.

Question:
Why the sasncrit word for word sometimes say one thing and in the translation say other? ex. BG 18.66 [ Word for word: mā — do not; śucaḥ — worry.] [Translation: Do not fear.]
Thanks for answer GM.

 

Thanks Guru Maharaja to always be present.

That person who want to develop a correct attitude of service.

HpS - Jaya!  In some of the other letters there is advice for you also. I think that Prabhupada did not always do the word for word translatins. and he had devotees use the Translations from Gita Press sometimes when they were nice. He had enough work to do on the Purports. Chant, fix your priorities. Be enthusiastic to get a nice job, nice, car, nice family, nice house, good health.. If we want these things, O.K. don't be depressed when we don't get them. Chant Hare Krsna and be like Kardama and Devahuti! I want material things. I am a fool too, but I see how they are needed for my advancment, so Krsna is pleased that we are second class learners but we are trying our best.

\Nice pictures!

Hare Krisna, dear Gurudeva. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

First I hope you're fine after your travel to India.

              HpS - ASA - Jaya! AGTSP  paoho.... We recovered after about a week. We were exhausted!

By Kisna's Mercy we are fine, very positive and with a lot energy.

From the administration changes in Madrid's Temple on last 26th Jan we had some problems, but by Kirsna's Mercy we are overcoming with all Congregation's devotees. We are beginning to be a great family. Before we seemed distant cousins, now We are beginning to seem brothers in arms.

I explain you what are we doing now and which are our plans for next months or year.

¿What are we doing now?

1. Putting in order the administration, saving money to Srila Prabhupada, etc.
2. We are elevating Deities' standard.
3. We are pushing the academic training helped by Bhaktivedanta Institute: Bhakti-Yoga Introduction course, Bhakti-Sastri First and Second modules and Bhakti-Vaibhava first Chapter of Srmad Bhagavatam.
4. We are starting a development congregation program and devotee care. How?. We invited to Akrura Das for coming to Madrid to teach us about Gita Coach, Devotee Care, Develop Leaders and training coachers program. We are having different seminars  about that. He is in Madrid from 2 weeks ago and he'll be here until he wants.
5. We are implementing a communication preaching program via Facebook, website, Google+, email, posters in the temple, face to face, etc.
6. We arranged with New Vrajamandala to develop our relationship, and that be closer.
7. We arranged in the last Communication meeting to be joined to rest of Spain Yatra.
8. We have Harinamas all weeks and we are starting to have Harinamas every day at 17:00.
9. We are pushing Nama Hathas.
10. We are inviting to Elder devotees and leaders of projects for coming to Madrid during the weekend or days to do preaching programs with them.
11. Now, all days are distributed  many Srila Prabhupada's books on the Madrid's Streets. Now we have 4 sankirtaners: Jaramara Hari Das, Yasodanandana Das, Bhakta Alejandro and Bhakta Quique.
12. We built a boutique in the temple, with Srila Prabhupada's books, and other things as mala bags, essences, incenses, malas, cds, Deities, etc ...

HpS --- Aaah! Very active!!

What are our plans for next months or year?

• To develop facilities for Matajis. We would like to create a Mataji's ashrama with a  Matajis' Leader.
• We would like to buy or rent an apartment close to Temple, other side the ashram wall where Jaramara Hari Das lives now to develop de Matajis' ashram there.
• We would like to expand  the Temple's room. We want buy an other room together at  Temple's room and put them together, about  15 square meters more.
• To create a coachers team to devotee care and mentors.
• To keep the level of the academic training.
• To develop more and more Nama Hatha and start a Bhakti Vriksa program.
• To consolidate Srila Prabhupada's distribution books and Harinama daily, etc.

You  know I'm working outside the temple, but I'm going to the temple three times per week more or less and all administration team are in permanent communication.

All team are developing a great job and the devotees are more and more committed.

We hope that differences with some devotees of prior administration disappear soon. It depends on all.

We want you coming to Spain and Madrid soon and It's my duty to invite you for coming. We must work very hard still to obtain Krisna's Mercy and yours, but please don't leave us without you and your mercy  this year 2014.

Thank you for all, Gurudeva.

Please, let me keep at your Lotus Feet.

Your humble servant, Dandava Das.

              HpS - ASA - Jaya. AGTSP.  You can see in the DTCs and the Tweets and the Kapi Dhvaja reports what we are doing. I think we will be based in Tennessee until August. Then we will tour USA, San Francisco, Pacific Northwest. Then back to Tennessee and South America in March April 2015. Guess we would get to Europe in August of 2015.

Depends on our strength and Krsna's choice. Right now we are trying to recover our bodily energy and we will have to see how that goes.
Certainly best of wishes in the preaching in Madrid?

What about more centers in other parts of the city? Bhakta-vrksas get their own full-time centers eventually?

Haré krishna!!

Hope this meets U in really good health ¡¡¡¡

Yesterday we had a very nice meeting with NIMSAR and its directory 

Gaura Gadadhara dasi joined us ¡¡¡ JAYA she is going to give the Deity Worship Course with NIMSAR in MAy and she is also presented the possibility of a Yoga Course ¡¡¡

Isvari dd will take charge of the coordination of the Sanscrit course along with Patraka das... LAD is the link with Goloka Education we will study and see in which way we can develop that ...

B German was selected to be in charge of communication in NIMSAR ¡¡¡¡ he also mentioned a very nice tool for preaching little clips from 3 minutes  for example a clip of 3 minutes explainning Who is Lord Jagannatha ¡¡¡¡ We will ask help from Guruvrata das ¡¡¡ B German has already talk with him today ¡¡¡

HpS - Jaya! AGTSP. Paoho. Very nice report. We heard that Mother Yugala was traveling on Sankirtan and could not attend and Mother Rohini wants more to do simple administrative work, the testing for Bhakti-sastri.

We answered the Letter to Tutors from LAD.

Seems like NIMSAR is going in the right direction, of course many problems, so we all have to take care of our own spiritual life, sankirtan, individually as well.

1) We are in Jaya-pataka Swami's Zone and he is looking forward to a lot of help in education from us. Ekanatha gaura Das is our link to him. We will meet with Rama-giri-dhari Das in Texas in two days, so we can discuss this, he is Executive Director of Ministry of  Education (MOE) and work on Regional Representative for South America for MOE etc.

2) You are collecting money? In whose name, ASA? What happens to this money? What is the exact detailed agreement? This should be publicly available for comment.

Thank you so much!

Hare Krsna Querido Y Recordado GURUDEVA

Porfavor Acepte mis Humildes Reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srla Prabhupada

Espero q esta carta lo encuentre en buen estado de salud.

HpS - O.K. pero tenemos 66-anos en esta cuerpo y los ojos, por ejemplo, no pueden funcionar tan fuerte para interenet como antes.

Gurudeva gracias a su miscericordia y a las bendiciones de nuestras autoridades directas P Aravinda, Guruprasad Swami y Bhakti Busana Swami, los libros pudieron ser traidos de venezuela a Colombia, pues por la dificil situacion de Venezuela amenazaban con quemar los libros, pero gracias a Goura y  a Nitay todas las 51 cajas de libros ya estan a salvo y estan siendo distribuidas en una marato que estamos llevando acabo aqui en colombia. Hay dos grupos de sankirtan de devotos y devotas nosotros estamos en la zona norte de colombia y las devotas en la zona sur, parece que los libros tenian mucho desceo de ser distribuidos porque pudimos cubrir la cuota de toda la semana que perdimos intentando recuperarlos en tan solo 3 dias, Krsna es muy miscericordioso.

                  HpS - ASA - Senor Caitanya es TAN BONDADOSO....

Gurudeva me he enterado que estara en Mexico DF en  GOURA PURNIMA :(  me alegra mucho por los devotos del df, pero esos dias nosotros estaremos a mitad de la maraton aqui en colombia, y desafortunadamente no podre estar en su visita, sin emvargo mi corazon esta a sus pies intentando seguir su intruccion y la de Srla Prabhupada, seguimos  en la calle distribuyendo esta filosofia trascendental, aumentando la cantidad de rondas diaras a 20 min, 4 principios, mangala y gurupuja Diario.

                    HpS - Super Hombre!

Querido Gurumaharaja, porfavor expliqueme como puedo avanzar en mi servicio devocional a la suprema personalidad de Dios, pues aun no he podido controlar los seis impuldos, y me cuesta mucho trabajo tener intercambios amorosos con los devotos, soy como una oveja en la calle pero un leon con los devotos, las austeridades del habla siguen siendo mi gran debilidad y no siento apego aun por cantar el santo nombre de manera entusiasta, debo seguir cortando las malas hiervas de mi corazon.

gracias por su miscericorda para conmigo Gurudeva, cada vez que medito en Ud la alegria viene a mi servicio devocional y la calle se vuelve como un templo.

Su Sirviente

b. Burro (Vrajendra kumara das)

                        HpS - Pues Vd. conocen MUY BIEN todo las requisitos por que esta citando las faltas de una manera muy experto. Un tonto no conocen cuales son los faltas. Esta indica bastante advanza. Pienso es claro Vd. estuva un monje, devoto, en su vida anterior.

Pienso tiene que adelantar en la linea que sigue, eso es el mejor, afilando, no cambiando.
Voy a quedar en Sankirtan viajero para mas tiempo?
Voy a seguir Kardama Muni y ser casado con "Devahuti" y tener Senor Kapila para Hijo? O va a seguir sendero de Narada Muni? Indicacion?

All glory to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my humbles obeisances

            HpS - Very nice. AGTSP. The external Sadhana seems O.K. Now the question is how you are advancing internally. Do you know this gradation "adau sraddha, sadhu sanga..."? What level are you on? It is in Text Seven purport of NOI
