Please accept my humble reverencias, remembered Gurudev. I wish that this letter finds you happy and in good health in your marvelous conscience of Krsna. All the glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thank you very much for your questions and for your answers.

In my previous letter, the word to which I was referring was Sri Damodara and I was requesting your blessings to advance in His conscience.

HpS - I don't understand? Have to cite the previous letter for us monkey brains.

😕

Thank you for asking about Franco. He is very much engaged working in the orchard and other things. Therefore he is not carving any sculpture though he is willing to do it. He had kept some trunks for this. And Gopal has requested him to sculpt Baladeva with elephant trunk and Subhadra with elephant trunk so that together with Jagannath elephant trunk all them will be complete.

ASA - Interesting.

Last time Sara´s son who helped her sending the photos could not do it as the first time. So she was worried because it would be uncomfortable for you to open them. We apologize for the inconveniences and hope that you have been able to look at them.

HpS - No problem opening attached photos. We like them.

On page 435 of the "Nectar of Srila Prabhupada" there is a letter which says:

"... with respect to the instructions of the spiritual teacher, there is no need to take his instructions received in a dream while the teacher is still present..." When I read this I thought that I was wrong in taking your instructions in my dreams Gurumaharaja.

Please could you instruct me on this?

HpS - Prabhupada says that dreams of the Guru and Krsna are not ordinary. If we get some instructions in dreams we should of course confirm it with Sastra. Physically present Guru, and devotees. 💪

I thank you very much for your merciful answer to this question. I have read that after the last Ekadashi of these holly months of Purusottama and Kartika and in the last five days of Purosottama and Kartika it is possible to keep on fasting as much as possible. Then, is it necessary to eat grains in order to break the Ekadashi if during those five days no grains have been eaten?

HpS - I think you need to take a little halavah, chapati, to break it on Dvadasi. I don't know.

Franco prepares for Ekadashi and together with Gopalito both follow it strictly. Therefore my concern when there are two Ekadashis so that they do it correctly. Thank you very much for your answer. Thank you for taking your valuable time for reading this letter.

HpS - What do you mean Two Ekadasis? Yes some times it happens but we just act as if there was one. In the Vaisnava Calendar it gives instructions which to follow. We publish it in the Calendar in the Kapi Dhvaja. Happy Hari Calendar.

With your blessings I will be able to use what I learned as a child and a teenage, my university career, the dance, etc. all of which I dedicate to your divine feet. You teach us with your perfect humbleness how to use our studies on the service of the preaching of His Divine Grace, so that everything can serve to support the movement of sankirtan! As an atom in front of your feet I wish to be always! All the knowledge given by Krsna let it return to Krsna! We only beg to have a small service which can please your lotus feet.

Honestly I had almost forgotten these studies, my title of graduate in Communication Sciences and my theater studies. All I only remembered was dancing. Thanks to my mom who send me photos and made me remember! The dancing school will start for now only through my youtube channel.

Kindly forgive any offense committed unintentionally. Please accept our humble and respectful reverences to your lovely dancing lotus feet in the eternal sankirtan of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada whose books are now our only association, our only comfort.

Missing a lot your Association we stay at your feet: Franco, Gopal and Radha japa pratija devi dasi.

HpS - Hope you meet nice partner for you School and can teach a few students physically. Maybe you can all live together in the forest.
