All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my humble obeisances
Hare Krishna Dearest Guru Maharaja
Thank you very much for taking me into consideration and dedicating the DTC to this insignificant servant ... sorry for my delay in answering the DTC was saved in Spam of the email ..
Right now in Nueva Govardhana (Mar del Platanos) we are finishing the strategic plan for this coming year with the SMART points and key areas to be developed. We did the leadership based on the material received at the Gbc College (training and strategic) and we are having a very good experience about it and I hope good results.
Its like herding cats!!!
2020 marathon!!!!
I find the possibility of serving you personally and assisting HPS in sankirtana incredible. It is taking me time to understand the role I can play in Tennessee. I have no great expectations .. My fear is not being able to fulfill HPS expectations and those of the devotees, wasting time and money .. If I could just follow you in your Sadhana and assist you in whatever you need it would be a resounding success to me... we can see the possibility of doing something more concrete if necessary and you see it relevant to your strategy, such as studying at UT or do any cultural or educational exchange between Spanish and English speaking.
It occurs to me that there may be two options to execute. a) travel to Tennessee at the end of December and see the possibilities of study and analyze if we could continue with a plan in the future ... as it says to travel with you to South America and then if necessary return to the USA to continue With the service.. b) continue to develop the idea of Going to Tenesse to attend and do some study at UT. And we could travel to the USA in the next year after the return from the South American tour.
As I already told you, I do not feel qualified nor do I believe I am a great University student, but we can make the effort and surrender to his plans and those of Krishna to continue harvesting our sankirtana and that Krishna gives us the necessary qualities.
Waiting for your advice..
Your servant Ptd
HpS - Local devotees, Latin American devotees, HpS, TB/BW, everyone seems to think it is a good idea for your to come here. Abhi.Th. Das makes good point that a Spanish speaking devotee would be very useful here to help co-ordinate the Sankirtan programs.
Please contact Sesa Das (Seth Spellman) about getting a visa. Let me know the results. I don't think a Religious Worker's Visa is good. There are Business Visas or Student Visas that NIOS could sponsor. Don't think it is good for an ISKCON center (they are religious and there is none here in Tennessee) would be a good sponsor.

Thank you.
Best wishes for New Govardhana!
