Hare Krishna dear Maharaj! This is Vishvanath, from Chile.

ASA - AGTSP! Paoho.... This Brown from the Boro. You are very kind to write to us... 😐

I hope you're well and healthy.

ASA - Ha! Ha! This body IS a disease!

I´m sending you a report of the activities of our community, which thanks to the mercy of the devotees is growing and expanding.

A month+ ago we started a 2-time-a-week morning Japa program, which has been a beautiful success. Around 20 to 30 people enter at 7am, 80-90% non-devotees.

ASA - "Non-devotees"??! Hey! They must be devotees! Not initiated, like ISKCON, devotees, no? Of course, they could be Demons chanting Japa also. 🙄

It has been tremendously inspiring to see non-devotees fully committed to their practice, inspired and inspiring other people as well. Next week Nicole (whom I saw wrote you days ago :D) will start with an extra day, so we will have japa program 3 days per week. Nicole is helping a lot with the program, BTW.

In 2 weeks I'll start with open BG class in the evening, 1 per week. Many people are very interested, again, mostly non-devotees. Beside that, we held sporadic online talks about Bhakti and Yogic philosophy.

The internal Dhatri community is having 2 sanga-meeting each week, now studying the Nectar of devotion and organizing the programs for next months.

ASA - You use Danurdhara Swami's notes???? Helps SO much!!

Mahatma Prabhu is helping us a lot with his advices and inspiration. He has already given 2 classes to the internal community, and will give one to the open community in 1 week ahead.

Also, we are part now of Krishna West in the southern cone, so we are happy to get the support of a bigger community.

As for myself, I'm studying a full 1 year course on Sanskrit with Antonia Ruppel, who wrote "the Cambridge introduction to Sanskrit". It has been very heavy learning (as the course is in English, so I have to translate both from sanskrit and English!), but we are advancing pretty well. After the course we are supposed to read directly from Devanagari, understanding most of the grammatical complexities of it, and also to write in proper Sanskrit. I'm also giving many classes on Yoga and Ayurveda, with around 6-7 simultaneous courses.

Sorry for the long text. next ones will be shorter!

We hope to have your blessings in our programs, and maybe to have you giving a lecture in the near future :)
