All Glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay
 All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
 All Glories to Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaja

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, I´m Ignacio González from Viña del mar. I write on behalf of the spiritual brothers here in Valparaiso (3).

In the last letter you were asking about Carlos Bustamante, he works in Santa Maria University.  We were thinking that since we work last year with Carlos Bustamante in comparative literature (Hamlet v/s Arjuna) we can do something in the same line, which could be the “Aleph”. If you prefer we can prepare the full presentation of the Light of the Bhagavatam (Paintings, video and symposium) to do it in this university instead of the Aleph.

What did you think about the aleph? it`s a good material? If you liked we can prepare some first version of power point presentation that you can, later, improve. Good idea? If you like it we will work this year in Valparaiso with The Aleph and the Light of the Bhagavatam.

Keep following the 4 principles and chanting 16 lousy rounds
Trying to serve you!

Ignacio

HpS - AGTSP!    Paoho.   We read the Aleph.  It has very strong feel of Argentina and the time and place.   It is like celestial sense gratification of some painters we know.  BBT artists copy their work.  But the comparisan with the Virata rupa is not much.  The "Aleph" is like Virata Rupa Darshana but without service attitude it will have very little effect on the person.  Borges is like a like a Mayavadi, Brahmavadi, who may become a devotee (we have this contamination also), but he is attached to celestial sense gratification, and that is about all there is to say.  More productive might be the Phaedo and the Light of the Bhagavata!  Have you read it?  The St. Bernard's commentar on the Song of Solomon and the LOB.  Have read that...?

Dear Guru Maharaj,

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

I can't remember where you are now. South America perharps? You seem to be in many places at once.

HpS - ASA   -   AGTSP    paoho.   We are in Ferrenafe, Peru, with fan roaring and sill be bitten three diferent places by one determined mosquito.   Takes the blood. Shares with a female and produces more mosquitos!  Hare Krsna!!

In regards to your reply from last post, Yogendra and I started reading about Devahuti and Kardama muni. We found out some interesting things. In one of Prabhupada's purports, it is described what the roles of a husband and wife are. Something about one taking care of household affairs and another controlling some sense gratification. I have a difficult time remembering things I read. But we're slowly moving along with the pastime.

HpS - ASA - Jaya!   We remember things within the heart when we actually have to apply them!

Our Toronto Ratha Yatra is on the 14 and 15 of July. It would be so nice to have you here and all the devotees would appreciate your visit very much. 

ASA - Drat!   That is exactly in the middle of our visit to Houston.  Planned for two months now!!!

Also, Yogendra and I would like to ask for your blessings and your permission if we can get married in September. To be exact, the 15 of September. We have been taking some guidance and advice from Mother Praharana dd who is a god sister of yours and is part of the Grihastha vision team. She's very kind and super amazing. We trust her words and has experienced a lot in her life. You are invited to the wedding, of course!!

HpS - ASA  -   Jaya!   Please go ahead as necessary.  It is on our calendar!

I will keep this short. 17 rounds, 4 regs, some reading( I really need to regulate it), some sankirtan (althought any kind of preaching counts- as I have been told), temple seva.

Please forgive any offenses I have comitted.

Your aspiring servant,

Rasa-mandali dd

HpS - ASA --  Very nice...   Will you be doing puppet shows soon?

Todas las glorias para Srila Prabhupada!

Sri Sri Goura Nitay ki!!!  Jaya!!!

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias Maharaja, Hare Krsna.

Soy Bhakta Pablo del Parikrama, de España.

Yo estoy aqui en Madrid Mandir. Bhakta Jose ya esta estudiando en Nueva Vrajamandala, se le echa en falta.

He estado ahora en Semana Santa unos dias con Varuna, mis padres y mi hermano pequeño. Ha sido muy bueno.

Hoy hemos empezado a salir Bhakta Jorge y yo de Sankirtana, extatico estar acompañado. Yo soy muy malo, jajaja,  en unas horas solo di uno, Fantasia Vegetariana...no soy muy bueno, pero me gusta mucho las Realizaciones de Sankirtana. Saldremos siempre que podamos, ya le daremos informes.

Estoy empezando a realizar algunas terapias aisladas aqui en Madrid, y espero que pueda ir poco a poco organizandome mejor y acabe el proyecto que me gustaria hacer aqui en Madrid sobre Terapias-Educacion-Meditacion, su nombre comercial es " Amalaki Babaji; Terapias y Enseñanzas Espirituales e Interiores ", en el que quiero incluir Rishi Technology Proyect, estoy intentando darle forma.

Ademas estoy investigando centros culturales o parecidos para hacer exposiciones o seminarios 1 vez cada mes o cada dos meses, esta poco desarrollado pero algo ya he hecho.

En Balarama Loka, con mi ausencia, va lenta, mi hermano solo no puede sacar el trabajo pero estan tranquilos y van para adelante. Hemos estado terminando estos dias las cuadras para la vaca, caballo, gallinas y gusanos. El trigo esta terminando de madurar, los arboles estan terminando la explosion de flores y todo tiene la belleza de primavera. Muy bonito.

Mi alma explota

quien sino Tu?

luces en la acera,

en los coches,

en los giros,

quien sino Tu?

Destellos en las palabras,

en las conversaciones,

quien sino Tu?

HpS - ASA . . . . . . .    Hari Bolo.   Esperamos seguir sus pasos!!!        Su sendero es maravilloso.     Esta haciendo una vida memorable!
