Quiero preguntar a UD y a otros vaisnavas si el Tava pache pache versión español también estará disponible en Amazon o por otro medio para distribución por unidad a devotos de habla hispana que se encuentran en USA y otros países por favor.
Gracias al equipo y colaboradores de ASA Audiovisual por compartir el audio libro del Tava Pache Pache en español en Youtube.

HpS/ASA - As we understand TPP is being distributed by the Spanish BBT and their vendors in Spain, South America, Mexico.
Can you contact Jayanta Das or Purnamasi Devi Dasi?
👺
Dear Guru Maharaja
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!
I pray that your dental issues get resolved soon and you are free of pain.
HpS - AgtSP. In material life we enjoy our mouth so, so, so much, no? We enjoy chewing. The pain is just the duality of that material enjoyment.
Shadow reflections of the non-dual pleasure of wresting with Krsna in Goloka?
I hope your visit to the doctor helped.
HpS - Damn fine! Now 85% recovered. Surrendering ]MY[ body two teeth at a time.
Both of us are doing alright and Divya's health is good. We get to dress the small deities, Chota Radha Kalachadji (Divya on Tuesdays) and Radha Govinda (Divya on Thursday and I dress on Tuesday).
ASA - Wow!!! 💥
This time we were fortunate to dress on Vasant Pancami and Advaita Acharya's appearance day. I've attached the photos.
ASA - Just amazing!!!
We have been really involved with the Pujari department here in Kalachandji Dham. We did an entire reorg a couple of weeks back with 6 sub departments and working with devotees to take up the head positions and so on.
Every time I engage in management situations, I am reminded about the principles of
ASA - We got it as a mystical experience ☁while at Rama ghatta, but Srinivasa Das showed us https://www.amazon.com/Good-Great-Some-Companies-Others/dp/0066620996", that Micron was using and Stanford had come to the same principles.
I came across a letter that Srila Prabhupada wrote in 1973 about Radha Kalachandji.
"I am very much pleased that the Deities are worshiped so nicely and as this continues, the children there will become more and more purified."

I've been thinking about what I am doing and also Dallas as the place that Srila Prabhupada chose to establish his first Gurukula. It was such a nice reciprocation from Srila Prabhupada for what we've been trying to do here in the pujari department!
Can we say that since Prabhupada chose Dallas as the center for education, because of his desire and potency it will be the center for learning in North America like how Navadwip was in Mahaprabhu's time?
HpS - Sanatana Goswami says that every cowherd boy, thinks that he is Krsna's closest friend.
Guess he is ashamed: Why is Krsna so kind to me???? So many other boys live Him so much more than me.
Then SG continues:... and by the nature of the internal potency, it is a fact.
We see that Murfreesboro can also become the center of education in ISKCON!
😃
I am hoping to come and visiting you in Houston this weekend.
HpS - Missed you, but didn't miss you. Right with you now!
Divya Devi Dasi's health is such a source of intense concern.
Maybe she will be personal servant of Saccimata in Nabadvipa in her next life.
Everything we are and we do is only because of your mercy Guru Maharaja🙏
HpS - We are just little bell on the Post Man's foot. AgtSP!
Your servant

Dear Maharaj,
PAMHO AGTSP!
There is an incredible workshop happening here in Kalarigram. We are now graduating from long and short stick to horn and sword weapons. Such amazing expert teachers! My body is a lot stronger and their confidence in me is so empowering.
I see such an improvement in me from last year! Physically, mentally and emotionally fortified. They say a student of martial arts (4-6hrs/day of intensive training) especially one like Kalari coming from Vedic traditions makes you shed so many negative thoughts and emotions and indisciplining depressiveness to even stand in class.
Kalari is supposed to awaken your kundalini and reactivate Prana in the body and balance that Prana’s movement through your chakras up and down. It’s supposed to balance your ida and pingala energies.
I can see the results in my health too! Finally after 8 months of this struggling sadhana (4-5hrs/day) I’m starting to experience a little drop of its potency. One lecturer shared that Lord Shiva, who himself lived in the mountains created all these art forms for our benefit: dance, yoga and Kalari!
Now I’m starting to understand why you may have advised me to take this training. It was tooth and back breakingly hard in the beginning 😂, but it’s incredibly strengthening.
First the mind’s forbearance has to be activated fully to not drop to being tortured by the intensity of the practice but instead to rise with the prana and be able to tolerate the level of pain!!! I feel like if I continue to train like this, I could lead an army 😂! 🤩
ASA - The Salvation Army [https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/]??? 🙂
I don’t know of a better cleanse, from somatic release (sweating till all your clothes are dripping) to washing out and dropping out of your system all excess emotions and baggage.
Otherwise you simply can’t get through so many hours of training in martial arts!
You really learn to work with your mind and body to reduce engagement in draining activities and simultaneously channel natural sources of energy like sound, sun, air, and diet etc. to stay recharge…amazing 🤯.
When you initially gave me this instruction I was honestly a bit shocked.
I felt it so unnatural almost, coming from elegant dancer training into this military martial arts lifestyle.
Now seeing these wonderful results, my heart is filled with such gratitude! Thank you so much Maharaj. 🙏🏻
YAS,
SM DD
HpS - 💥AgtSP... and your Bhakti. Do your instructors et al, know that you are Gaudiya Vaisnava?
Helping with your hearing and chanting?
Manipuri Martial Arts are also accommodating to girls.
Very nice report!
Think is inspiring for everyone.
Seems it may fit in here in The Boro very well!
When is Sri Hari Das coming?
Maharaj,
PAMHO AGTSP!
You requested to see my work by April 🙏🏻.
HpS/ASA - Well, agtSP, Tom Brown and Buck White were thinking that April 16th [?], Rama-navami, would be a good day for some sneak preview of work in progress.
When is Sri Hari Das reaching Tennessee?
Maybe we can go for a day's outing to Houston for a Director's event.
Here is a basic plot and some descriptions of various characters for the “Ramayan in a New Bottle”.
American's gods [Godhead?] come from British Adventurers,
old gods from Norse or Greek Mythology,
some Abrahamic mythology (Neil Gaiman’s work),
and new gods, [science and industrial] technology.
ASA - USA and Canada = British Adventurers. Other Americans ie. Latin Americans = Spanish Adventurers, also good audience?
I’m trying to show Ravana as made by extra-terrestrial gene splicing, now living in Dubai, as a sheikh in his golden mansion and golden flying car, owns 9 businesses.
Please let me know if you think this is alright and I’ll develop it further.

YAS,

HpS - Sorry, taking so long to answer. Even now we are writing with serious headache and of course some eye strain, but happy. Very motivated by this project.
What about, no great SciFi elements, but just using modern types. Eg. Ravana can be the Director, 51% Owner, of a Global business conglomerate, From South India. Even Ceylon.
Not too many character and plot angles have to match. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Who will be Rama??
Sita???
Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Still relishing our time with you in Houston. A fire was lit and we are keeping it stoked. Some times there are just red coals and other times there is a lot of light. Maintenance and steadiness is our constant work. Internally crying selfish tears half the time, though. Noticing everyday and sometimes many times within a moment, how I am like a spoiled brat. An ungrateful child in the hands of so much mercy. Not fully taking advantage of what I have been given. A kind of purgatory. And then your voice comes in..Durga has given the reins to Radharani. And your illuminations are remembered. A few things I know by heart and text 3 and statement in the purport of NOI comes to mind/heart: devotional service is so pure and perfect that once having begun, one is forcibly dragged to ultimate success.
Wow.
I endeavor to be dragged? Enthusiasm is more important than patience as I’ve heard you say. We’ve observed that when most rounds are done before breakfast and there is class then that momentum carries and we are able to actually give to others. Otherwise there is nothing to give really and it can feel like hell or purgatory. I don’t want to waist this life that you have given.
A lot of exciting new projects and pioneering work ahead here in New Biharvan dham. Our dear Kalakantha Prabhu has made Boise his number one focus for Krishna House and Krishna Lunch. Him and his good wife Jita Mitra Prabhu will be living here for a year and they are bringing other angels and experts to give us a strong push to get things going.
The New Biharvan perspective and bonsai tree is growing nicely despite so many challenges and opposition. I think about what you said a lot when I am feeling unhopeful..the temple is Sat Cit Ananda. I try to just lean into that and do my duties. Sing to God in His home, fix things here and there and be the janitor. Pretty good gig! Hope to just keep doing this after I die? Long row to hoe..
Here is a song/poem(it will change to fit music) I wrote for you this morning:
Profoundly Dying
For you, we are trying
But there is no try, there is only do?
Well I know what will be done
Can be done more for you
Giant steps, baby steps
Or a slow and steady crawl
A leap of faith, an effort made
or a care free flippant fall
I want more with you
And connection to that line
Disciplic succession
No more waiting for a sign
It’s you, the one I will die to follow
It is me, the false ego
Many bitter pills to swallow
To garland your shadow
What is the need?
When the root is watered
And it grows from the seed
Lighter, brighter days ahead
And the mercy river flows
Saintly joyous attributes
From the crown down to the toes
Rising above the gunas
Your arms stretched out like wings
Attention sharpens
If I can only hear you in the mornings
Divinity blues sung in the darkest hour
Preservation, cultivation
Then the light comes rushing in
As I offer you a flower
Now it’s a good day to die, to die profoundly
Thank you Maharaja for the constant inspiration. Your enthusiasm keeps our fire bright and illuminates Srila Prabhupada’s teachings for us. Praying that you heal quickly from the dental surgery! Transcend~dental
Eternally grateful and indebted, your aspiring servants,
Nitisara das, Anadi and Yamuna
P.S. We got the Improvisations for the Theater book like you suggested and have started trying out some of those exercises/games on our own and at Krishna Lounge. Thank you for that suggestion! Amazing young people coming each week and a very very sincere ex Christian.. hallelujah/hare Krishna!
HpS - The beginning part is very nice, where she talks about the fundamental principles of drama theory. she capitalizes the word Environment.
It think it is Paramatma yoga???
Very nice news.
You see we have been drowning in blood etc.
Yet getting to this wonderful mail, no!!
