Hare Krsna querido Guru Maharaja
Por favor acepte mis rendidas reverencias
Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada
Y Todas las Glorias sean a usted y a los fieles seguidores de Su Divina Gracia. 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
Muchas gracias por su respuesta a mi carta anterior, fue liberadora.
Acabo de darme cuenta, que hace tiempo no le escribo respecto a mi Sadhana y sankirtana ¡Por favor discúlpeme!…
Por su misericordia sin causa y la de Srila Prabhupada, hemos podido: Cumplir con nuestros votos de iniciación; 16 Rondas mínimo, 4 principios - mantenemos algunos apegos por comer en exceso, estamos tratando de mejorar cada vez -
SADHANA
-Mangala Aratika regular (a veces fallo 3 o 4 veces al mes).
-Lectura diaria de los libros de Srila Prabhupada.
-Escucho clases de Srila Prabhupada regularmente y
-Asisto frecuentemente a las clases de la ASA y otras (principalmente de SS Yadunandana Swami, Urmila DD, SS Guru Prasad Swami y SS Bhakti Sundara Goswami)
*En casa atiendo a Sus Señorías, de forma muy básica y simple, nos esforzamos por ser puntuales y limpios (como usted indico)
SALUD Y ECONOMÍA
-El problema original en el cerebro persiste porque es inoperable, pero parece que hemos aprendido a vivir con eso.
-Después de nuestra última cirugía cerebral, nos hemos recuperado casi 90%. Aunque los problemas de memoria son irreversibles y experimentamos otras secuelas, parece que somos funcionales como cualquier otra persona. (Quizá todos estamos enfermos o un poco locos)
-Hace tiempo que no tengo un trabajo estable... Así que, nos mantenemos sólo por la misericordia sin causa que Sri Krsna envía a través de mi madre y algunos buenos amigos.
ESTUDIOS
-Al fin terminamos nuestro estudio Bhakti Sastri bajo la guía de SS Yadunandana Swami ¡ha sido una experiencia maravillosa!... obtuvimos nuevos y agradables asociados y hemos recibido instrucciones muy valiosas de Su Santidad.
SERVICIO EN EL TEMPLO
-Retome servicio en el templo, asisto solo 2 días a la semana y realizo un par de servicios humildes. Oramos a Srila Prabhupada para que los acepte aún con nuestros defectos.
SANKIRTAN
- Crecer Vaisnava – Aunque MUY lentamente, continuamos con este proyecto (online) de educación infantil. Y ya tenemos algunos trabajos que, ¡Krsna mediante!, este año saldrán al público.
- ASA Carnaval – Estamos apoyando tanto como podemos para mantener la página de Facebook ASA Carnaval. A varios vaisnavas les resulta muy útil esta plataforma. (Si le parece bien, informaré a detalle en otra carta.)
ASHRAM
-Aunque hace casi 2 años vivo separada de mi esposo, me mantengo fiel a él. Él no está físicamente y quizá no volverá jamás. Pero yo siento que sólo ha ido a un largo viaje y mantengo mi relación de afecto, respeto y lealtad hacia él, aunque de una manera más sutil. Él es un buen vaisnava y yo oro constantemente por su bienestar.
- Aunque tarde -, he encontrado tres devotas que me están ayudado mucho para aprender de mi paso por el Grihastha Asram y he tomado algunas asesorías con el Grihasta Vision Team. Estoy tratando de aprender tanto como puedo de esta experiencia, esperando que mis errores sirvan a otros como señales de alerta.
Muchas gracias Gurudeva, de no ser por su misericordia y la de Srila Prabhupada, esta batalla habría acabado conmigo desde hace tiempo.
Gracias por mantenernos vivos y luchando.

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja
Please accept my deepest obeisances
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
And All Glories be to you and to the faithful followers of His Divine Grace. 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
Thank you very much for your response to my previous letter, it was liberating.
I just realized that I haven't written to you about my Sadhana and Sankirtana in a long time. Please excuse me!…
By his and Srila Prabhupada's causeless mercy, we have been able to: Fulfill our initiation vows; 16 Rounds minimum, 4 principles - we keep some addictions to overeating, we are trying to improve every time -
HpS - ASA - So are we!
SADHANA
-Mangala Aratika regular (sometimes I fail 3 or 4 times a month).
-Daily reading of Srila Prabhupada's books.
-I listen to Srila Prabhupada's classes regularly and
-I frequently attend ASA and other classes (mainly from HH Yadunandana Swami, Urmila DD, HH Guru Prasad Swami and HH Bhakti Sundara Goswami)
HpS - Super!
*At home I attend to Your Honors, in a very basic and simple way, we strive to be punctual and clean (as you indicated)
HEALTH AND ECONOMY
-The original problem in the brain persists because it is inoperable, but we seem to have learned to live with it.
-After our last brain surgery, we have almost 90% recovered. Although memory problems are irreversible and we experience other consequences, it seems that we are functional like any other person. (Maybe we're all sick or a little crazy)
ASA - !!!
-I haven't had a stable job for a long time... So, we support ourselves only by the causeless mercy that Sri Krsna sends through my mother and some good friends.
HpS - Keep learning to understand your body etc. and trying to fit into the Sankirtan movement of Lord Caitanya and your social economic situation with improve. You will be able to make respected contributions to society.
STUDIES
-At last we finished our Bhakti Sastri study under the guidance of HH Yadunandana Swami, it has been a wonderful experience!... we got new and nice associates and we have received very valuable instructions from His Holiness.
SERVICE IN THE TEMPLE
-Return service in the temple, I attend only 2 days a week and perform a couple of humble services. We pray to Srila Prabhupada to accept them even with our flaws.
SANKIRTAN
- Crecer Vaisnava – Although VERY slowly, we continue with this project (online) of children's education. And we already have some works that, Krsna willing!, will be released this year.
- ASA Carnaval – We are supporting as much as we can to maintain the ASA Carnaval Facebook page. Several Vaisnavas find this platform very useful. (If it is okay with you, I will report in detail in another letter.)
HpS - Please, I hear about devotees using it all the time.
ASHRAM
-Although I have been living apart from my husband for almost 2 years, I remain faithful to him. He is not there physically and maybe he will never come back. But I feel that he has only gone on a long journey and I maintain my relationship of affection, respect and loyalty towards him, although in a more subtle way. He is a good Vaisnava and I constantly pray for his welfare.
- Although late -, I have found three devotees who have helped me a lot to learn from my time at the Grihastha Asram and I have taken some advice with the Grihasta Vision Team. I am trying to learn as much as I can from this experience, hoping my mistakes will serve as red flags to others.
Thank you very much Gurudeva, were it not for his and Srila Prabhupada's mercy, this battle would have finished me long ago.
Thank you for keeping us alive and fighting.
Your would-be disciple

HpS - We are just products of His Divine Grace. Love exists because Krsna is so kind. You are connecting with The Ocean of Mercy. Look at Vasudeva Dutta and how he grew as he came in contact with Lord Caitanya.
Let us look at some more letters.
Your report is inspiring to all!!
