Hare Krishna dear Gurudev AGTSP PAMHO!!
I'm glad your tour is going well, that you're healthy enough to keep to your schedule, and that you're in good company.
First of all, I apologize for not writing to you lately; there wasn't much to say. Now there are good things to share, thankfully.
A month ago, we said goodbye to Malati Devi Dasi, who was visiting the yatra. By the mercy of Krishna and the guru, I had the opportunity to serve her by cooking. It was very gratifying to develop a loving relationship through service in just a few days. She told me I should teach the devotees how to cook, and just in time (coincidentally), I was about to start a cooking course for devotees, so Malati DD kindly invited the devotees to participate in the course in an incredible way.
This past Wednesday was the first class, with very good participation. The devotees expressed happiness with the explanations and afterwards shared the prasadam from the class. Maybe we could make some participation certificates that you and Maharaja could sign to hand out at a Sunday party? :)
HpS/ASA - AgtSP. So sorry this has taken some time to answer. We have been here in Santiago with you giving us so much help for weeks now.
Thank you! All.
We were honored to sign the certificates and now hear about the background. When the Pandavas were hiding incognito in the court of Maharaja Viraja, Bhima was working as a cook. I think he was especially proud and good at making soups!
I'm covering some shifts in the Deities' kitchen during the holidays and helping out with whatever devotees ask if I can.
We are very inspired preparing things for your visit. We hope to hold an activity at my home for the spiritual family, so if SSGN wishes, I would be honored by your transcendent presence in my home.
I hope to be able to serve you and Yadunandana Swami as well, so this will probably be the last letter until your visit.

Your eternal servant, Parasurama Avatar Das, Santiago-Chile.
HpS - Again, thank you.
We only hope we have not been a burden on people.
The Sankirtan here has been very intense.
In general, by Srila Prabhupada's mercy, we see that our service attitude is more and more becoming our basic consciousness. We have less and less tendency to criticize, reject, things, situations, people, and see deficiencies as an opportunity, responsibility for us to help.
We understand the little, unique contribution that we can make, more and more.
See you in one minute.
