Please accept our humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Here we are in New Vrajamandala.
ASA - AGTSP! paoho. Us also. So good to see you yesterday and today.
Our journey began several months ago with the idea of being able to be useful in the documentary project.
Physically, we traveled a week before the flight to Spain by car from our house in Huerta Grande, Cordoba to Buenos Aires, about 800 kilometers away.
For a week we lived with my (Ambarisa) parents and we saw more relatives. It is also a request and necessity of Hari Vamsi to see them regularly.
In those days we met Abhirama thakurji who gave me the equipment lent by Raul Ceballos and the hard disk and microphones bought in New York by Dharu Krsna.
HpS/ASA - We have two $50 lapel mikes in our lost suitcase.
We shared Prasadam pizza, we toured part of Buenos Aires in search of books and then we took him to the airport heading to Lima Peru.
Then on July 11 we took a flight with a 4 hour stopover in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. From there direct to Madrid.
The trip was quite good, Hari slept the entire Bolivia-Madrid section. He was very excited about the whole adventure.
There were quite a few children on both flights.
Upon arrival, we were to meet Adiras Prabhu, but his car broke down on the way to the airport. Then Jambula came to the rescue to take us to New Vrajamandala.
HpS - Material life means to expect problems and then by Krsna's mercy surpass them for His serrvice here.
The devotees received us very well, very attentive in everything. They placed us in the tower, inside the main building.
ASA - Oh, that is where you are! I used to stay there. It is nice. Has 360-degree view? Big cloak room at the entrance. Oh, we are neighbors. We can visit you.
We are still adjusting the schedule, mostly Hari that we can't get him to sleep before 2 am. Also here it is HOT during the day until 10:30 at night. Our bodies changed from the intense cold of Cordoba to the heat, they are adjusting very well.
HpS - This is because we are Yogis, no?
There are many children and Hari has already made friends and that helps with his melancholy. They meet in the afternoon at the river and then play in the temple garden after the Gaura Arati.
We are trying to participate in the Mangala Arati, also Yadunandana Swami has engaged us in giving Srimad Bhagavatam lecture ( canto 5 chapter 4)
The deities of Radha Govinda Candra, Gaura Nitai, Giriraj and Laxmi Nrsimha are very beautiful and the atmosphere here is pleasant in many ways.
We began to plan with Mahajan Prabhu the video of new Vraja mandala that they asked us to arrange for the stay. It would be a video that shows everything that the place can offer and promote it for tourism purposes and something spiritual, not religious.
ASA - "Pilgrims" instead of "Tourists", no? Propaganda can read: Places of Personal Pilgrimage. Where to investigate your full potential and personal demons. . . Pilgrimages and Spiritual Reteats.. . . . The Light and Cooling Breezes for those on the Pilgrim's Progress. ???
https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/13/9/ + Subsequent verse.
https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/3/1/17/ + subsequent verses. " one is able to realize the Supreme Lord by the process of a pilgrim’s journey".
We are looking at which spaces would be the best for interviews. We think that outdoor spaces are very attractive and it would be good to take advantage of them. Then inside they suggest the library, which is in another building, it is quiet and with good aesthetics. We haven't seen her yet.
There is internet in different places (with different passwords), the classes are broadcast on the New Vrajamandala Facebook. We're also looking into data plans for mobiles.
Thank you very much Guru dev for engage us in service and giving us this adventure.
Yours servants Vrsabhanu nandini and Ambarisa m Das
HpS/ASA - Again, very nice to see you. We are immortal. Krsna may take our material body at any moment. We can act from the strength of the eoul.

Por favor acepte nuestras humildes reverencias
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada
Aquí estamos en Nueva Vrajamandala.
Nuestro viaje comenzó hace varios meses con la idea de poder ser utiles en el proyecto del documental.
Físicamente viajamos una semana antes del vuelo a España en automóvil desde nuestra casa en Huerta Grande Cordoba hacia Buenos Aires, unos 800 kilómetros de distancia. Convivimos con mis (Ambarisa) padres y vimos más familiares también es un pedido y necesidad de Hari Vamsi el verlos regularmente. En esos días nos encontramos con Abhirama thakurji quien me entregó los equipos prestados por Raul Ceballos y los discos y micrófonos comprados en New York por Dharu Krsna. Compartimos pizza Prasadam, recorrimos parte de Bs As en busca de libros y luego lo llevamos al aeropuerto rumbo a lima Peru.
Luego el 11 de julio tomamos un vuelo con escala de 4h en Santa Cruz, Bolivia. De ahí directo a Madrid.
El viaje estuvo bastante bien, Hari durmió todo el tramo Bolivia-Madrid. Estaba muy emocionado con toda la aventura.
Había bastantes niños en ambos vuelos.
Al llegar íbamos a encontrarnos con Adiras Prabhu, pero su auto se rompió camino al aeropuerto. Luego Jambula vino al rescate para llevarnos a Nueva Vrajamandala.
Los devotos nos recibieron muy bien, muy atentos en todo. Nos ubicaron en la torre, dentro del edificio principal.
Estamos aún ajustando el horario, más que nada Hari que no logramos que se duerma antes de la 2 am. Además aquí es de día hasta las las 10:30 de la noche. Nuestros cuerpos cambiaron del frío intenso de Cordoba al calor, se están ajustando muy bien.
Hay muchos niños y Hari ya se hizo amigos y eso ayuda con su melancolía. Se encuentran por la tarde en el río y luego juegan en el jardín del templo después del Gaura Arati.
Estamos Intentando participar de los Mangala Arati, también Yadunandana Swami nos ha ocupado en dar clases de Srimad Bhagavatam ( canto 5 capítulo 4)
Las deidades de Radha Govinda Candra, Gaura Nitai, Giriraj y Laxmi Nrsimha son muy hermosas y el ambiente aquí es agradable en muchos sentidos.
Comenzamos a planificar con Mahajan Prabhu el vídeo de la finca que nos pidieron como arreglo por la estadía. Sería un vídeo que muestre todo lo que la finca puede ofrecer y promocionarla con fines turísticos y algo espiritual no religioso.
Estamos viendo qué espacios serían los mejores para las entrevistas. Pensamos que los espacios exteriores son muy atractivos y sería bueno aprovecharlos. Luego dentro nos sugieren la biblioteca, que está en otro edificio, es tranquilo y con buena estética. Aún no la hemos visto.
Hay internet en distintas partes (con diferentes claves), las clases se transmiten en el Facebook de Nueva Vrajamandala. También estamos averiguando sobre planes de datos para teléfonos.
Muchas gracias Gurú dev por Ocuparnos en servicio y regalarnos esta aventura.
Para servirle Vrsabhanu nandini y Ambarisa m Das
