All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
Beloved Guru Maharaj
I hope excuse my late report about my travel for India. Acctually, is so late that i went to Chile and come back now.
I don't want take your valuable time guru maharaj.
In simple words my itinerary was like following:
00) Buenos Aires (January First Days) personally with you in the your Vyasa Puja. Very Happy was start the year like this. Programs in CHILE
01) Hyderabad (Jan-March): First days, very concern about the programs not finished in Chile. 2 month Course about Promotion of Micro Enterprises (NIMSME India). More than 150 people from 42 different countries. Great experience. How India is superpass the poverty problem, and i visited a lot of micro enterprises in the last part of the course.
It was a good opportunity to Share the vaisnavism values with Muslims (a lot of), first time in my life. I changed completely my opinion about them. They're Very friendly. Still, Afghan, Niger, Nigeria are more extreme in their ideas, a lot of fear of God. We can to know how is he because is sooo great. But, in general opened and interested about that idea of only one supreme God according the Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, etc.
Invite to the temple to more enthusiastic twice. First Time, christian Brazilian lady, Buddhist Myanmar (my roomate), a polland and a nepali ... all together see the deities and take prasadam with their hands. Exotic experience. Second time: Budhist myanmar and two ladies from Mauritios Islands. With them visti the Govinda's Restaurant. I that moment a realize also that prasadam in Restaurant in this cities is very good preaching.
02) Chile (March-April) . Big FIRE disaster in Valparaiso. Authorities said that the 10% of the city was loose. Wonderfull program of FOOD FOR LIFE against the time. We distributed 600 plates of kitri... and A.Vardhana made 10.000 cookies! It was impossible distribute all cookies. Students of Alternatives Therapies went with us in a bus gotten by Vrinda Mission devotees. David Abrigo, my classmate and friend from the university times, who attend some of your conferences, went also and helped the devotees in prasadam distribution.
03) Fly Stops (Last days April) : Come back to India AGAIN... the stops were London and Madrid, this time not alone, rather Carolina came as well. We discovering the important work of the devotees there. Taking utsaha from them. We had interviews with Dandava prabhu and Jara Mara In Madrid. Too much learning of his experience in Madrid. Very useful for us in Chile .We spend one night with Bhadra Vardhana and Sananda devi dasi.
In London with Gandaki prabhu (Uruguayan devotee) and his wife were our hosts.
Harinama in both places. Harinama is still stronger there. In London sometimes THEY went twice in a day in the supossed most important street in the world, New Oxford Street.
04) Mumbai (May)
The Yoga Institute of Santa Cruz, established in 1918 was our home in the entire month. Curiously, Our best (and very strict) two teacher appreciate a lot ISKCON, even one of them have the membership card. Very impersonal philosophy behind everything so preach to classmate was very funny because all people is very atractive to Krsna naturally there and accept the Sri Caitanya philosphy.
I distributed some 3-4 Bhagavad Gita. I invite all my western friends, students in the Institute also, to the restaurant buffet, and they were very happy. The Irani guy bought the B.G and Islam and The Vedas, a very christian girl from US, after to see the deities, decided get the BG also, and a very special indian young (19 years) bought me other, and other young lady get it also.
Visiting every sunday and Nrisimha Caturdasi and other days the ISKCON Temples. We are very impressed with the dedication of Radhanath Swami, Giriraj Swami, Sridhar Swami and others there. They have an hospital in Mira Road where every doctor and employee is devotee, actually, our dermatorlogist there is very enthusiastic. They have a big auditorium in Juhu, and media center in Chowpaty. It was a very good experience, taking pictures and ideas all the time. Three hours from Mumbai we visited for special program the Govardhana Eco Village, an interested program developed by ISKCON also.
05) Vrindavan (Now!). I just arrive a few hours and after to read your Kapi Dhvaja i felt very bad for not write to you, because I promise to you, so ... i should to do it. Now, if is possible to you, i feel that I need some practical advises to live the next days here. I like so much, despite the HOT, but i feel like a fool trying understand them.
