Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja 🙏

Please, accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet!!

HpS - Wooof! Woof! More likely pies de lobo que pies de loto.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

HpS - !

I am here, trying to make a little report about my activities.

Thank you very much for your sacrifice, austerity and patience in order to help us to get free from this material illusión. 🙏

HpS - 99.999% of our contribution is done by Srila Prabhupada.

Vedabase.io service: We just finished to correct the typing mistakes that Néctar of Devotión had. It had many many misspelled words, you have noticed some of them during our reading on FMP. Prahlada Nrsimha prabhu told me that I could fix the errors while NOD was already on line, because fix errors would take me more time.

HpS - Also some punctuation errors, no? Also, the original English had mistakes in the verses cited. Sometimes they were not the right verse number. Hmmm? Such nice, nice, nice service. Maybe you will be correcting the spelling mistakes of the gopis in Vraja!

My brother, Jorge (musician) helped me a lot to correct the text. He studied written journalism and he has a good knowledge of orthography and words. He really likes Srila Prabhupada's books.

HpS - We were wondering about him!!! Please say hello.

I hope NOD is properly corrected, in any case, the reading that you are doing on FMP every day will be the last filter to notice if there are still some errors. It is always possible to go to the edit page and correct them.

SADHANA: Since the last time that I wrote to you about this topic, by your mercy and Krishna's mercy my sadhana has improved by 20%.

HpS - Ours is about the same! Maybe it is a general effort by God and the Gopis!

Gurudeva, I have realized that CHANTING ROUNDS BEFORE MANGALA ARTIK is the BEST THING I CAN EVER DO ! Even 4 enthusiastic rounds before mangala artik turns it into a very different experience.....in comparison with mangala artik without chanting any round. I realized that this time of day (sadhana-Brahma muhurta) is the time that I am happiest. It is the time of day that I can be really happy. I want to internalize this realization so that it can be part of myself in order to be able to do it every day, always!! Please, bless me!! 🙏

ASA - Guru-mukha Swam told us that SP said four times in one lecture that the best time to chant your rounds is before Mangala-arati! Of course, we also heard him say that for Grhastha this might not be practical.

Gurudeva, I want to improve! Still I am struggling with "ilicit eating" (grains made by non devotees), but those falls are less and less frequent. I am just learning to eat in a proper way, to take care of my body, to have a proper rest, so that I can perform a nice and healthy vaidhi sadhana bhakti.

ASA - It is related to cooking grains for Krsna, no? You can do the austerity of cooking cakes, pies, cookies, laddus, bread for Krsna and then there is room for EVIL KARMI GRAINS.

Every day, I am attending Srimad Bhagavatam class on GoToMeeting or/and I am reading one or two verses of Srimad Bhagavatam in the morning.

Yesterday at night I started to read KRISHNA BOOK before go to sleep. I am going to keep this reading every night.

HpS - Read it and Tweet our questions of comments?

By your mercy I am understanding a little more that this life is actually an OPPORTUNITY that KRISHNA is giving me to purify myself, that is the only reason of my existence, not to gratify my senses.

Thank you very much for your patience and mercy!

Your aspiring servant: Mitravinda dd.

ASA - Is Jorge playing guitar in public? On line? Heavy metal!?
