Hare Krsna Gurumaharaja

Please accept our respectful obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope you are in very good health and that your sankirtan is going very well.

HPS - Ha! Ha! Hare! AGTSP. We are in good health but our eyes, balance, memory etc are going.

I tell you that educational matters have been a bit slow in recent months. As I told you a while ago, I asked the Latin RGB for a hearing to clarify some points concerning the representation service.

Maturesh prabhu was kind enough to grant us a space at his monthly meeting to present our case. It finally happened this morning, Tapana Misra prabhu and I were able to be present, explain who are the regional representatives and what are our responsibilities and duties. The devotees (Jayapataka Swami, Guru Prasad Swami, Bhakti Sundar Swami, Hanuman prabhu, Kaunteya prabhu, among others) were interested in the regional representation program and asked questions about who is in it.

We obtained their support, so a document will be issued shortly that will be presented to the temple presidents so that there are no doubts about what service we have to do. The gears also moved and Guru Prasad Swami said that Mexico should have a representative immediately (despite the fact that I have insisted for two years) and the same with Paramatma prabhu and the Caribbean. All this seems to have a happy ending.

ASA - Ha! Ha! Hare! The Witch will counter attack... but Soldiers of Rama will defeat her again. Thank you.

Personally, I tell you that I have rejoined my Bhakti Vaibhava studies (3rd Canto), this time with Param Padam prabhu. The work that the devotee does is top notch, I knew his program was good, but I didn't know how good.

ASA - Maybe it was not so good a few years ago? Yet, he has persisted and showed us the real BHAKTI in Bhakti Vaibhava and now it is very great???

I have also been very lucky to join a very interesting group of 12 devotees: Baladeva das, Rupa Gosai das, Maha Bahu das, Priya Sakhi dd, devotees from Argentina, Peru, Chile and Mexico, all committed, all inquirers. The course is demanding and Param Padam a very good teacher and best friend.

We continue to live among the mountains, content with our saddhana and the small Jagannatha temple we serve with love and simplicity. Indira Sakti dd is studying Bhakti Sastri with Param Padam das, so Krsna has fulfilled a nice dream.

I hope to tell you more news soon.

HpS - How did you find the PanAmerican Symposium. We could not stay because of the date was changed at the last minute and we had earlier commitments. Also, we pushed, PUSHED, P U S H E D for translations of everything but did not see any except for ours.

Maybe ASA will do something under its own management???

Thank you!

Canto Three: Vidura x Uddhava x Maitrey >>>> Creation of the World and Manu.

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Thank you so much for your lectures!! Great inspiration!!

We have the opportunity to travel to Spain with family. I want to ask you wether you think is a useful and good idea!!

First option from 30th June until 1st August. Manu and Benji can participate in a trip to Letonia and Cantabria (1-16 july) with other devotees of the same age. Prabhu Jara Mara and other devotees from spain organize it. It is like a sadhu sanga summer holidays!! Then we can meet in Madrid, and I can organize an Ayurvedic seminar maybe in colaboration with Nios.

Second option is travelling from 16 th july until august 15th, here we have more time to serve your sankirtan and be at your disposal!!

What do you think Gurudev?

Trying to serve you!!

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - AgtSPT!! I don't know what would really be best, but the first option sounds very nice because the boys could join the program with the JMHD et al.

What would you do while they are on the Tour? Ayurvedic seminar live, semi-live and virtual?

Individual consultations?

Contrast and compare the two rural projects?

Hare Krishna, dear gurudeva, Pamho, AGTSP!

I haven't written to you for a long time. I'm not very good at communicating in general. But I always try to keep your instructions and advice in my mind.

It was a pitty we couldn't meet again to talk about education and tell you about my projects, but that's life.

I have been systematically studying and teaching Srila Prabhupada's books for almost 15 years. In the previous stage I did what I could personally. I have tried to help about 100 devotees in their Bhakti sastri studies and as many in the Disciples Course. I currently have 6 Bhakti Vaibhava students and 5 Bhakti sastri students. I am trying to serve them in the best way I can. To tell the truth I'm a bit tired and I need a change of service.

Actually, my service in education is getting a bit complicated. In another opportunity we can talk personally about the details because I do not want to offend anyone since I am too direct and often harsh.

But other challenges, preaching opportunities are opening up and I will let you know in due course when things settle down. Of course, if Krishna wants.

For a long time I was basically doing internal preaching in ISKCON, I think that now I have the challenge of learning to preach outside, that is to say to the general public, in a more than all cultural environment, not necessarily academic. Cultivation of the human spirit.

We are already with my wife and several devotees working on the project. Distribution of culture and prasadam. Work with the municipality of Chosica and expand, again, if Krishna wants. We can live simply by distributing prasadam to my family, friends, devotees and acquaintances in the city, but if Krishna wants we can do more things.

Many times you suggested us to do programs in the city as presentations by choirs from various religious and cultural institutions such as schools and others. We would also like to work with local artists and present theater, poetry, music, puppets. Being part of the community, so they can see us that we are normal people who can contribute culture. And also invite devotees to chant the Maha Mantra, etc. Embed ourselves in the community. I think that is needed. We still have the image of being some kind of aliens who don't have much to do with the people and the community. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.

Who am I, who are we, what is the plan, what resources do we have? Right?

I hope that you, Srila Prabhupada and Krishna will enlighten me to understand if what I think is right. When one door closes another opens I suppose.

Your blessings, please, to continue chanting and preaching wherever the Holy Spirit takes me and my beloved wife.

HpS - ASA. -- Chosica Hari Kirtan, Ki Jaya.

Is there some place where you all can regularly chant in the evening?

Just try to offer the most íntimate mellows of Gaura lila. Maybe chant C. C. ?

Hare Krishna!

Is there maybe a YouTube place for classes, by yourself and Radhika Ramana prabhu, that will be given in Richmond?

Thank you!

Your servant Namacarya Das

HpS-AgtSP. We just Tweeted link to PAES on YouTube. Beyond that I don't know of any other.

We just punch out gotomeeting.com and ASA Carnaval retransmits them on Facebook.

Thank you.

I just uploaded this video, I recorded it on January 12, the day of His transcendental and beneficial appearance in this world.

I had Covid and the floor where I danced burned from the heat...

I remembered: Dance in the fire until the end! kirtan is our only friend!..😁

but I was inspired and even though the video and my dance are not very good... I wish to offer it to Her lotus feet, begging for a wonderful place in the shadow of Her feet and thus engage in eternal sankirtan!!!

Jaya Gauranga Mahaprabhu!!!

P.F. the photo is of a small cake made early before I go to collect. For you always all my heart. Thank you for giving me good association: Franco, Gopal, etc and taking us to our meeting with our beautiful lotus-eyed beloved who awaits us.

HpS - !! Hare Krsna !!

As long as we are chanting there will always be some result!

Chant better, better result.

Very nice video.

Now do the song of the bee.

Hare Krishna, Gurumaharaja,

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

In our last conversation we spoke about my perceived difficulties in maintaining a proper relationship through the internet. I'm full of shortcomings when it comes to upholding my end of our guru disciple relationship...

HpS - I am probably much worse in upholding mine with Srila Prabhupada!!

... and i wish i could have a chance to connect to you. I see sometimes that you mention whatsapp, so i humbly ask if it's possible to get in touch with you and receive your audience. My phone number is +31 6.....

Your servant,

Raghava Pandita dasa

PS. The person in the photo is His Holiness Bhakti Svarupa Damodara Goswami in 1940

ASA - The BSDM photo is incredible. The oxymoron thing is super, super, super.
