Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las glorias a Usted gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis reverencias.

Soy Lila-sukhi dd, 28 años,.Bs As, Argentina.

Espero que esta carta lo encuentre bien.

HpS - TlgaSP!!! Pfanrh..... Muy bien oir de Vd. Tengo dolor del trasero, ojos, espalda, garganta, miedo de monstros.... y Vd??? Pero hay deleite (?) en la corazon! La unica felizidad en esta mundo es ser capaz hacer austeridades, morir, para KRSNA!!

Quiero empezar pidiéndole disculpas por haber demorado en contactarme, y tambien disculparme por mis fallas, que a veces son muchas.

HpS - Si, los hadas nos informan!

Mi hija Govinda ya esta por cumplir 3 años,

ASA - De Prasadam y sonido tracendental!

. . . es una nena muy saludable y me hace feliz dedicarle mi tiempo. Lilananda, su papá vive a 400 km de nosotras, suele viajar cada dos o tres meses a verla. Prácticamente la crío yo sola, repartiendo mi tiempo con ella y el trabajo. Le gusta ver las ilustraciones de luz del bhāgavata y pide que se lo lea. También hablamos de pasatiempos de Krsna book.

Mi sadhana ha mejorado mucho. Me conecto por las mañanas a cantar mis rondas y luego me quedo a la clase de SB que Madhu Mangala das brinda por zoom (hay que aprovechar los tiempos de cuarentena y aislamiento).

HPS - ASA -- Super!

Últimamente me sentía mal con mi vida espiritual, no estaba encontrando entusiasmo ni alegría, y eso me apenaba mucho guru maharaja. Sentía que estaba fallando como devota, como discípula.

HPS - No hay opcion. Bien o mal, tenemos que continuar como podemos, y paso por paso va a ser un resultado.

Hace un tiempo vengo siguiendo la prédica de Krsna west en buenos aires. Y me sume a los encuentros y programas (siempre por zoom) y de repente me vi tomando un rol activo, siendo parte de la prédica. Estoy muy feliz con ese servicio, y quiero pedirle sus bendiciones para poder seguir haciéndolo. Tenemos un grupo de gente nueva, unas 20 personas que se acercaron a conciencia de krishna y están cantando sus rondas con nosotros y asistiendo a clase de SB y de BG.

HpS - Muy bien! SS Hrdayananda Gos participa personalment a veces?

Me siento útil, siento que estoy siendo un instrumento en este camino, que mi vida espiritual está encontrando sentido.

Junto con otros devotos vamos a cursar bhakti sastri con Parampadam das y también tomar cursos de liderazgo con él, para poder mejorar y profundizar la prédica.

Mi mayor deseo es poder servirlo gurudeva, y quiero poder llevar conciencia de krishna a cada rincón, incluso en época de covid y aislamiento.

Nada puedo lograr sin sus bendiciones ni instrucciones gurudeva.

Gracias por las clases de la gira argentina, realmente sentí que Usted estaba acá.

su eterna sirviente y bienqueriente,

Lila-sukhi devi dasi.

HpS - No esta mencionando nombre de su hija! Pero cuidado tambien, por que hay cuentas en las Veda describiendo como nuestras peores enimigos llegan como nuestras hijos para causar pena a nosotros.

Eso es el mundo material!!!!

Tenemos que entender uno a otro profundo.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja 🙏 Pamho. AgtSP. I made a short video depicting your journey to Boise where you risked your life to save all of us🙏

Your insignificant servant,

Sugopi Radha dd

HpS - Too shocking for us to listen to it all, but watched it! Video journalism is great contribution to Iskcon. Great. Plan your next. Get crticism from yhr Gopis.

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

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

When we discussed in May about the online private school for kids who are stuck at home, I was not completely ready. Having spent a month in working out details with the help of our friend Priya Carana Mataji, I am confident that I can do this. I am planning to just take up K-4 for now. After talking to interested parents, we have two options for the school either half time or full time.

Halftime includes Japa, Kirtan, Scriptures and Sanskrit. Full time includes academics also. Although planned to just do it for friends and family initially we opened it up for a few more like minded devotee families. We decided to keep the name "Gaura Rasa" which you have kindly given us for Sugopi's college club. We will use it for any teaching endeavors we may take up. Please bless me that I may be able to help the kids advance in Krishna Consciousness while pursuing their academics.

Your servant,

Sundari Radhika dd.

HpS - Super news!!! Saturday school. After school. Supplement to normal school. Sunday school. All of these individual, then collective, then stand alone school. Of course, wherever you go, whomever you meet tell them about Krsna. That is great school!!!!!!

News!

Gurudeva, voy a preparar un ppt? Esta bien?

HpS - Por Gaura-arati? Es super!

Hare Krsna dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I hope you're doing fine. I have some ideas for the LA meeting, not necessarily in order:

1. I am working with Baladeva, LAD and the great support of Indira Sakti dd (nice, kind guys)
2. Sunday 4 to 6 pm CST
3. Does it seem right to call it Latin American educators meeting?
4. Summary of the North American Symposium of Sastric education (some of us will be there, the most not, because of the language barrier).
5. A few words from you, Atul Krsna prabhu, Balimardana prabhu, Baladeva prabhu.
6. Human resources and data interchange:

• Proposal for a census of educators at the regional level (create a file that record basic data and teaching skills, with a brief personal history)
• Proposal for the creation of a space in the cloud to upload educational material of unrestricted use (clases, articles, books, ppt shows, videos)

How about an online Latin American symposium for August or September with greater coverage and call? (can have the cooperation of the mentioned above, Isvari dd, Jagad Guru and others)

Waiting eagerly for your kind answer

Your servant Gandharva das

HpS - AGTSP.... Paoho... Sorry that it took so long to answer. We are struggling to survive with the work we have. Maybe you saw what a load the Houston Symposium. We just finished it this morning.

I think that your plans seem O.K. Again, it depends on the determination of the people involved. At 4.30PM we shall meet! Thank you!

"Tato jayam uddhirayet!"

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, reciba mis respetuosas reverencias, seguimos en cuarentena acá en Huancayo, a diferencia de Lima, acá la cuarentena es muy estricta, no hay movilidad para ningún lado y muchos policías.

Por otro lado acá ya comenzó el invierno y estamos teniendo temperaturas muy bajas, en las madrugadas de 4 a 8 grados bajo cero.

Por otro lado el sadhana, las 16 rondas, los 4 principios, atención a las Deidades y Salagrama Silas marcha muy bien, lectura del Nityananda Caritamrta. Estamos retomando la lectura del Caitanya Caritamrta, Madhya lila, primera parte, Cap6 "La liberación de Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya", texto 26. Hace más de un mes nos conectamos al programa de Mangal artik con usted y los devotos.

Una pregunta Guru Maharaja:

¿es necesario consultar con usted para tener un Siksa Guru?

Por otro lado estoy estudiando dibujo y pintura por Internet . También con mi esposa estamos estudiando algo de astrología védica (Jyotish), nos esta enseñando un devoto por Internet. Quizá pueda servir para el sankirtan.

Bueno Guru Maharaja me despido, que Nrsimha lo proteja siempre.

Hare Krsna.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva !!!

Please accept my obeisances 🙏.

We continue to resist this pandemic, 16r and 4p, in our personal situation my husband was out of a job for a while and it was somewhat difficult to overcome, but thanks to the mercy of Krishna and the Devotees we are now much better.

The children are very well because all our attention and dedication are for them and taking advantage of the stay at home we dedicate ourselves to worship the Deities completely and study the Krishna Book in a proper way.

A study initiative for children is also being given by Gopi Radha and a couple of other devotees and that works to keep them enthusiastic and eager to learn ... We have benefited a lot from having many online classes from different exponents I think this works much better than it normally did.

This pandemic has also given us a lot to think about as to what happens in our Yatra, there have been cases of abuse and now there are groups focused on exposing and pointing to the opposite sex and I am concerned that my children grow up surrounded by all this. , much violence within the society of devotees of both men and women, where is the protection and true education ?.

On the other hand we are waiting for more union between married and with child devotees to be able to do something for the future of our children within Krishna consciousness.

Sorry for my long letter but as always it takes me a while to write because I don't do much just take care of my house and my children and try to follow their programs.

All Glory to Srila Prabhupada !!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, receive my respectful obeisances, we are still in quarantine here in Huancayo, unlike Lima, here the quarantine is very strict, there is no mobility anywhere and many police officers.

ASA !!!

On the other hand, winter has started here and we are having very low temperatures, at dawn of 4 to 8 degrees below zero.

On the other hand, sadhana, the 16 rounds, the 4 principles, attention to the Deities and Salagram Silas are going very well, reading of the Nityananda Caritamrta. We are resuming the reading of the Caitanya Caritamrta, Madhya lila, first part, Cap6 "The liberation of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya", text 26. More than a month ago we connected to the Mangal artik program with you and the devotees.

ASA - !!!!!

A question for Guru Maharaja:

Is it necessary to consult with you to have a Siksa Guru?

HpS - ??? No, yes, sometimes. If we are acting as Diksa guru, then you have to consult with us or just our instructions (Param-para) to be sure that the Siksa guru is properly aligned with the Diksa instructions. If Siksa guru says that you should follow Ramanuja achary and not Lord Caitanya and chant another mantra, then you have to reject him. In general our instruction, Srila P'pada, L. Caityan is 'trnad api..' get as many Siksa gurus as you can at every moment.

On the other hand I am studying drawing and painting on the Internet. Also with my wife we ​​are studying some Vedic astrology (Jyotish), a devotee is teaching us online. Maybe it can be used for sankirtan.

HpS - Vedic palm reading is very useful.

Well Guru Maharaja I say goodbye, may Nrsimha protect him always.

Hare Krsna.

HpS - Are you growing your garden? Cannot visit neighboring farmers?
