Hare Krisna Gurudev!, please accept my humble obeisances dandavats. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Dear Gurudev, I hope you have a good health. First I want to thank you your last letter responding to my email. I’m sorry not responding earlier, but Carcika d.d. and me had ten vacations days in Malaga.
HpS - ASA -- Jaya!! AGTSP...... paoho..... Krsna, says that among bodies of water He is the ocean!
We were in Malaga Temple with Yadunandana Swami having meetings about the Bhaktivedanta Spanish Institute, preparing the academic program for the next year and enjoying the Hindu festival. I think so near of 600 persons were there.
Three weeks ago we were in New Vrajamandala in a Spanish leaders meeting about Spanish Yatra with Hrydaya Caitanya Prabhu (GBC), Yadunanadana Swami, Kripamoya Prabhu, Jayanta Prabhu, Patita Pavana Prabhu, Gundica Prabhu, Caitanya Candra, Nityananda Prabhu (from Portugal) and others great devotees. We were talking about how we can join the Yatra in Spain through three ways: Training, communication and congregational development.
The 8th August I went to do sankirtan with Jaramara Haridas, and Krisna gave me his mercy and I distribute my first book of Srila Prabhupada (Science of Self Realization). It was very hard for me, because I have a very strong mind and I wanted to control the situation, but Krisna said: “No!!!!!!!!, I’m the Supreme Controller and you’re my servant”. So, when I said: “Ok, take the control” came to me a philosophy professor, he listened me and took the book I gave him. I finally had to say: “My Lord, You are the Supreme Controller, and I’m your fool servant. You are the Knowledge”.
In Madrid Temple, well (+/-). Tomorrow in the morning Jayanta prabhu sent his demission letter and now it open a time of reflection for all devotees. From here I want to give my humble obeisances to Jayanta prabhu for his service during last thirteen last years. I’m very grateful to him and to all devotees of the Madrid’s Yatra. I think so we must reflect on what we did right or wrong. We must be closer, chant together, take responsibility for the services in the temple and we should be friends and best devotees. All together. We must think which is what Srila Prabhupada wants and how can we serve him and Krisna in the Madrid’s Temple, following the GBC guide in the administration organize and the Guru instructions in the spiritual develop.
HpS - ASA - It is very hard to appreciate Jayanta Das' service enough. He has given his life for ISKCON Madrid.
Carcika d.d and me are fine, following our daily Sadhana, chanting, etc, working in Bhaktivedanta Spanish Institute and waiting for temple open to serve there. Krisna has the control over Madrid city and we only can serve Him and Him devotees, what else can we do?.
We are thinking about to go to India in November-December for two weeks. Maybe one week in Mayapur and the other one in Vrindavan or two weeks in Vrindavan. I would like you give us your blessing to do that, and I would want to know what are you thinking about our travel program.
HpS - AGTSP. If you can go with devotees to Mayapura, Vrndavana, that is nice, buy is important to go to visit those Holy Places. Our travel plans we will put in the DTC in just a few minutes.
Thank you for all Gurudev, I keep at your Lotus feet.
Your humble servant Dandava Das.
HpS - ASA - Please just go ahead as you are. Have a little patience, but we can expect rapid progress! Please offer our obeisances to Jayanta Das if you see him!!
