Hare Krishna !!

PAMHO, AgtSP,

Here we are back in mar del plata, Many things going on, projects at the farm, El loft, bhakti vriksa, etc. i visited miami, orlando and atlanta. i attended sunday feast at iskcon atlanta, didnt know wether i was at usa or india, 98% hindus, but Prabhupada's presence was so intense.

Then i visited alachua, for a few hours and iskcon miami, had to lead goura aratik no one was there except pujari and me. what i observed from the usa society is that they are very respectful of the rules, social relations seem to be more formal and distant and people is in his own business. they dont care too much what is going on around them unless you dont interfere with their sense gratification which is so enhanced in usa.

So much opulence, many people acting as if this world was a nice place to be. i noticed also a tremendous waste of energy, lights and electronic devices on all day long. i didnt like you have to drive everywhere, i think that makes people more isolated, me and my car.

In atlanta i saw so many churches, on sunday the were lines of cars waiting to park in the churches parking lot. i got in into an adventist church, all black people, they were speaking about taking shelter in jesus, i saw many religous advertisments on the road also, like Jesus is coming... it was a nice experience, i visited my relatives, they live in atlanta. My cousin's brother in law works for the secret services. he was personal security of Bill Clinton, George Bush and now Barak Obama. but he is like a wall very difficult to talk to.

i guess that is a quality you have to have to work there. i was thinking all the time i have to get an appointment with the president for my gurumaharaj, but i couldnt do it. maybe next time. regarding my personal life, my wife left me again, she decided i'm not the kind of man she wants to be with, so she moved to an apartment. I'm with my children half of the time but sanga is more intense. I see this situation as the mercy of Krisna. my focus is to improve my spiritual life and become more useful for our local projects.

Now we are chanting 16 rounds and 4 principles strictly, we are waking up at 6 am, planing to change it to 5 am during the next 2 weeks until we fix in a nice mangal arati everyday. i remember the instruction you gave me in chile, that is our solace. Hope you arrived safely at franklin, TN aspiring to become your servant, Bhakta Nicasio.

                     HpS -  Jaya.  Thank you your letter.   You may see that after six days back in USA, one tooth surgery, we are back with some energy to work.      Actually we have been working every day, but at about 30%.  Now we are up to 50%.   Haw Ray!    Hurray!                       Your family life sounds like a Tele-novela, but without as much madness as we see on television.  Really stop for a second and consider how much you have been blessed by Srila Prabhupada, me too!           I look at people around me and their lives are horrible. They think they are enjoying when their lifes blood is circulating through and automobiles motor.            You are right!  Autos suck out your life...    But little by little Srila Prabhupada's mercy has gone out and now the sale of autos is decreasing and the sale of bicycles is increasing.       Hari bolo!!!  Hari Bolo!!!!!!!!!         Please keep on talking to us.  It helps a lot to hear from you.   Your right.  USA needs Latin Love to be human.  It is nice we are efficient.  That is nice, for half the day.  But then lets close the office and make it a farm house.   Plant corn, beans and squash in half oof our our office building space and let the sun and rain come into the 14th - 21st floor!              Jaya!   Happy life.  Hare Krsna.    Farming with Krsna.

(Our energy is returning, but tiny ants that you can barely see have also began to invade the house and they bite with strong acid.)  Ha!   Ha!           Life's tough all over.  Going to Vrndavana!
