Toda gloria a Hanumatpresaka Svami

Tod gloria a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencia

Hare Krishna Gurudev espero se encuentre bien, no estoy usando mucho Internet, Le cuento que:estuve en Chile tres meses de sankirtan , despues me fui a visitar a mis padres aqui en Argentina . hicimos un programa con los devotos de Bahi Blanca en Rio Negro, un amigo mio se hizo devoto y esta cantando las 16 rondas al dia y toma prasada,  ahora hace unos 10 dias que me encuentro en el templo de Buenos Aires, el cual extrañaba,  siempre me asocio com los brahmacaris,  y estoy haciendo Sankirtana, estoy estudiando  Mantras de La Bhagavad gita, termine de leer la vida de Srila Gour Kishor das babaji y Srila Jaganath das babaji, Me gustaria familiarizarme mas con el Nectar de la devoción, lei algunos textos del Doctor Kapoor, yde Satya Raja Prabhu, tambien termine filokalia cristiana(resumen). Estube leyendo  la primer parte del Sri Caitanya Caritamrita Madhya lila hasta el capitulo 13, pienso retomarlo desde el Adi Lila cuando pueda, por que todavia no me da para entenderlo o aprenderlo, necesito tener mas Bondad, 

Pienso que mi deuda es el estudio con el Srimad Bhagavatam el cual pienso dedicar los años proximos

El viaje a India sigue en mis planes,  tengo que terminar de hacer toda la legalidad, pienso que mañana ya voy a estar haciendolo, solo me falta enviar dos emails,  en Julio es muy probable que viaje con Panca Tattva a Brasil para hacer Sankirtan por dos meses.

Disculpe mis ofensas querido Guru Maharaja,  por favor ore por mí.

Su aspirante a sirviente adiYajna Dasa

Siempre tengo con migo elNoI y por su misericordia puedo entender algo mas. Espero verlo antes de viajar a India

  HpS - ASA --- Super. TlgaSP. Paoho. Estamos pensando en que pasa con Vd. ayer. Todo su reportaje y planes son super. Solamente tiene que cantar japa sincero y Krsna en su corazon con confirmacion exterior va a comunicar Su opinion de cosas a Vd.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Beloved Guru Maharaj

I hope excuse my late report about  my travel for India. Acctually, is so late that i went to Chile and come back now.

I don't want take your valuable time guru maharaj.

In simple words my itinerary was like following:

00) Buenos Aires (January First Days) personally with you in the your Vyasa Puja. Very Happy was start the year like this.  Programs in CHILE

01) Hyderabad (Jan-March): First days, very concern about the programs not finished in Chile. 2 month Course about Promotion of Micro Enterprises (NIMSME India). More than 150 people from 42 different countries. Great experience. How India is superpass the poverty problem, and i visited a lot of micro enterprises in the last part of the course.

It was a good opportunity to Share the vaisnavism values with Muslims (a lot of), first time in my life. I changed completely my opinion about them. They're Very friendly. Still, Afghan, Niger, Nigeria are more extreme in their ideas,  a lot of fear of God. We can to know how is he because is sooo great. But, in general opened and interested about that idea of only one supreme God according the Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, etc.

Invite to the temple to more enthusiastic twice. First Time, christian Brazilian lady, Buddhist Myanmar (my roomate), a polland and a nepali ... all together see the deities and take prasadam with their hands. Exotic experience. Second time: Budhist myanmar and two ladies from Mauritios Islands. With them visti the Govinda's Restaurant. I that moment a realize also that prasadam in Restaurant in this cities is very good preaching.

02) Chile (March-April) . Big FIRE disaster in Valparaiso. Authorities said that the 10% of the city was loose. Wonderfull program of FOOD FOR LIFE against the time. We distributed 600 plates of kitri... and A.Vardhana made 10.000 cookies! It was impossible distribute all cookies.  Students of Alternatives Therapies went with us in a bus gotten by Vrinda Mission devotees. David Abrigo, my classmate and friend from the university times, who attend some of your conferences, went also and helped the devotees in prasadam distribution.

03) Fly Stops (Last days April) : Come back to India AGAIN... the stops were London and Madrid, this time not alone, rather Carolina came as well. We discovering the important work of the devotees there. Taking utsaha from them. We had interviews with Dandava prabhu and  Jara Mara In Madrid. Too much learning of his experience in Madrid. Very useful for us in Chile .We spend one night with Bhadra Vardhana and Sananda devi dasi.

In London with Gandaki prabhu (Uruguayan devotee) and his wife were our hosts.

Harinama in both places. Harinama is still stronger there. In London sometimes THEY went twice in a day in the supossed most important street in the world, New Oxford Street.

04) Mumbai (May)

The Yoga Institute of Santa Cruz, established in 1918 was our home in the entire month. Curiously, Our best (and very strict) two teacher appreciate a lot ISKCON, even one of them have the membership card. Very impersonal philosophy behind everything so preach to classmate was very funny because all people is very atractive to Krsna naturally there and accept the Sri Caitanya philosphy.

I distributed some 3-4 Bhagavad Gita. I invite all my western friends, students in the Institute also, to the restaurant buffet, and they were very happy. The Irani guy bought the B.G and Islam and The Vedas, a very christian girl from US, after to see the deities, decided get the BG also, and a very special indian young (19 years) bought me other, and other young lady get it also.

Visiting every sunday and Nrisimha Caturdasi and other days the ISKCON Temples. We are very impressed with the dedication of Radhanath Swami, Giriraj Swami, Sridhar Swami and others there. They have an hospital in Mira Road where every doctor and employee is devotee, actually, our dermatorlogist there is very enthusiastic. They have a big auditorium in Juhu, and media center in Chowpaty. It was a very good experience, taking pictures and ideas all the time. Three hours from Mumbai we visited for special program the Govardhana Eco Village, an interested program developed by ISKCON also. 

05) Vrindavan (Now!). I just arrive a few hours and after to read your Kapi Dhvaja i felt very bad for not write to you, because I promise to you, so ... i should to do it. Now, if is possible to you, i feel that I need some practical advises to live the next days here. I like so much, despite the HOT, but i feel like a fool trying understand them.

In this Dropbox link you can see pictures with the respective numbers.

Excuse for the extension again. Same problem with my reports for you. The ayurvedic doctor in Mumbai said me again that i have serious problems with the times and with to execute ideas for my AIR - FIRE convination.
 

Thank you a lot Guru Maharaj. You are so tolerant with me always... I can't understand it. I want to be someone useful for you soon.
 

Hare Krsna.--

HpS - Jaya! Srila Prabhupada was on the back of the Rathyatra cart at the start of the parade in San Francisco and made a small speech with live Television cameras.

He said, "So, all you people of San Franciso, come once a year and join this festival and join the devotees in chanting in emotional love of God and your entire city will become Vaikuntha, the Kingdom of God!"

 Hare Krishna dear gurudev, my reverences at your feet TLGASP.

I pray to Krishna for your good health and your asociacion, we miss you.

your aspirant to servant .

             HpS - ASA - AGTSP!  So, so, so, so nice to hear from you. We WISH we were in Chiclayo! Maybe Krsna will take us there. He does the most amazing things. Don't think the biggest miracles are not possible. Yes, Ajatasatru Das should please write to us, the Blog!   We all want to know his adventure as guest of the USA government. Very, very good with the Intro. Bh.Yoga program. Are you keeping the principles, Mangala-arati? What are you growing in the Cakra. How is the Payonidhi Das. Who else is there regularly???

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please kindly accept my most humble obeisances; All glories to his divine grace, Srila Prabhupada; All glories to your devotional service.   I trust that all is well with you in your own devotional service to Srila Prabhupada.  Often I think of  you, wishing that I could be in your association.  Yesterday, Friday, I was able to attend the Srimad Bhagavatam class from Hawaii for the first time in over a month, and you were giving class.  I chose to just listen quietly, rather than annoy you with some blatant interruption just to say hello.  

Since the beginning of this year I have been visiting the prison where Chandra prabhu works, giving Bhagavad gita classes every other f week.  Because many inmates choose to leave at some point during the class, the prison authorities have chosen to exclude them from attending, as mandated in the prison protocol for all visiting religious programs.  The result has been a small handful of inmates who are seriously wanting to study Bhagavad gita in a systematic order.  To this end I have decided to teach the Bhagavad gita using the study guide from Bhakti Shastri.  

I was hoping that you would approve of my actions, even though I myself have not accomplished the study guide and received a degree in Bhakti Shastra.  If you feel that it is inappropriate for me to take this action, then I am at a loss as to how to procede, because these inmates are very eager to begin their study, and for me to obtain a degree in Bhakti Shastri would take time.  So do you think it appropriate for me to begin teaching Bhagavad gita using the Bhakti Shastri manual, even if only in some unofficial manner?

             ASA -Yes! Sure!!

After all, I would think that more important than the certification of education is the education itself and the spreading of transcendental knowledge whenever and wherever possible, regardless of formalities.

I don't wish to sound arrogant or independently rebellious in light of Iskcon's protocol for Bhakti Shastri, but I just want to make sure that I have some shelter if I begin this service in some informal manner.  Anticipating your reply: Hare Krishna.

Yls, Bbd

     HpS - Its nice to hear from you. We will be in Boise in just a few weeks. Our www.jayarama.us/kd/cal.htm is always updated.

The only thing about formalities is if the inmates want a ISKCON certificate. Of course the real examination is the time of death.
