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.

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. ?
