Hare Krishna, Gurumaharaja 🙏🏼 Reverences 🙏🏼 Jay Srila Prabhupada 🙏🏼
I am writing to you to discuss two important matters, and I will be brief:
ASA - Essential truth concisely expressed is true eloquence.
1. Yugala, JaraMara Hari Das, and I are in contact to explore the possibility of holding an Ayurveda program in Nanda Gram, Cantabria, Santander. JaraMara is very enthusiastic, and it is very motivating for us to work with someone who has such a broad perspective on event creation, etc. (I am sending you some photos of the location.) We wanted to ask Gurumaharaja if it would be possible for you to visit Nanda Gram on your return trip from India (in October). JaraMara Hari Das would provide the necessary special transportation for you and the attending devotees, as well as accommodation, etc.
ASA - We 🐵 🐖 🐖 arrive back from India on the 12th of October after l-o-n-g flight at 8pm. HpS stays until 21st October, but Anantesvara Das can stay for maybe a few days and then needs to get back to his patients. We can consult with him.
So, maybe program with Complutence as soon as we arrive and then after a few days go North. AYURVEDA - The Asian Philosophy of Medicine in Tradition and Modernity. I do the tradition, Sankhya. He does the modernity!!!
2. At the guesthouse, I worked with Mother Urmila (coordinator, assistant director) and Prabhu Jambula (guesthouse director), BUT Urmila resigned (after 8 years at NVM, she had the opportunity to leave and work). THEN the NVM authorities proposed that I accept Urmila's position... I accepted, but said I would consult with you to formalize the service. Gurumaharaja, at first I was excited (I asked Radharani for a job where I wouldn't have to carry stones anymore, etc.), then when I realized the responsibility of the service, it seemed like a good way to preach as well (I need to read more of Srila Prabhupada's books!), and when I saw that many people started unleashing their demons of bad vibes on me, and I realized the karma of serving ISKCON, I was SCARED 😨 it was like seeing a volcano erupting near me 🌋...... I STARTED CHANTRING MY ROUNDS WITH A STRENGTH THAT SURPRISED ME.... then I realized that running away won't help me; what will really help me is chanting more Maha Mantras than before. I've realized that having a more serious service in ISKCON requires spiritual strength, and I only have enough spiritual strength to think of you, Gurumaharaja, every day when I clean the guesthouse. I've drafted a document to formalize my service position at the guesthouse (photo attached, please read it). What do you think of this opportunity, Gurumaharaja? It's mainly for the summer season, and I would also continue my cleaning duties at the guesthouse (I love it; seeing everything clean and tidy gives me so much peace of mind). Clumsy Yasoda Devi Dasi (KRISHNA, I can't wait for September 24th to have your blessed help!).
HpS/ASA - What do Govinda and Govinda Das think about it? Get opinion of several people. Write down the contract. Make it for a fixed period that you know you can do, like one year. In your next life you will be helping Draupadi and the Pandavas?
