“Oh devotee of the Lord, to see a person like you is the perfection of sight, touch your lotus feet is the perfection of the sense of touch and glorify your good qualities is the true activity of the tongue, as in the material world is very difficult to find a pure devotee of the lord”

HARE Krsna Maharaj
Hope when you get this report your health is fine, that you are feeling better from changes of time and weather (for what i could understand from DTC)
This is Paula (36) from chile, sub-product (a joke i have with her) Antonia (14)
Regarding my sadhana, im fixed with my services at the temple, chanting 16 rounds on japa beads and following 4 regulative principles. Daily studies of the escriptures. And, for some more deep understanding ,some matajis invited me to participate in the Sri Sri Goura Nitay study group, were we share our realizations/thoughts/questions.We started with NOD, That encourages me a lot. Also attend to classes in the temple and home programs.
I have some kartik thoughts and news i would like to share with you.
During this very auspicious month of Damodara, here was started the construction of the altar in the new temple salon. This is a project that has many devotees very committed so please maharaj give us your blessings so it can be well accomplished.
HpS - ASA -- AGTSP!!! Thank you and all your sub-products manifest and yet unmaifest. Yes, best wishes for the new altar! That kind of construction can be so much fun. Of course it is all for Sankirtan, no? So many people come to the Temple and their first visit is very mystical. The altar, the building, the music are all supernatural experiences.
To celebrate the last day of Kartik, and hindu devotee invited me to organize a program of book distribution, dance, Damodara aratik and prasad for more than 200 kids and their teachers. It was very beautiful. I really thank the Lord for his mercy!!!
HpS - Jaya! !!!!
Its amazing how making any activity that some how or another we know can please or help in Srila Prabhupada`s mission can be so heart fulfilling, refreshing..
I`ve been having this thougts about, because as the Gopis said: “ Oh Krsna, you are a big cheater, Who can undestand Your trikery?”, that understanding that Sri Hari descends to this planet because of His own sweet wish, being the cause of all causes and supreme controller, and that everything has to be done for His pleasure and enjoiment, sometimes i wonder if all this “going back home” process is not just another pastime of Krsna??!! Or maybe and the most probable is that i havent understand nothing jet, thats why im so begging to you to please allow me to refuge in your instructions. Your guiadance is so necesary for my basic comprehending process!!!
HpS - Do you mean, that "Going Back to Godhhead" is a trick by Krsna, but as we become more advanced we can understand that Krsna is here and service here IS back to Godhead? If that is the doubt, then, "Yes!". Devotional service is non-different from the kingdom of God, but in the preliminary stage it is better for us to try to think of Vaikuntha as another place and to want to leave this place.
I have even heard that one devotee told Srila Prabhupada that he just wanted to serve Srila Prabhupada in this material world life after life, and Srila Prabhupada smiled and said that that kind of desire was O.K. for Lord Caitanya, but as far as we are concerned we should want to get out of this place!
Thanks for the link of archives you mentioned in the Kapi Dvaja, i`ve been attentive to that, as i found lots of inspiring words in them.
Looking forward for counting with your holy association
Your insignificant aspirant to servant,

HpS - AGTSP. Thank you for your news and letter. I get this impression that devotees like you were definitely devotees in your previous life. Maybe a monk or a nun in a monastery in Chile in your last life. Your daughter could have been a friend. . . . Here we are trying to understand our Great, GREAT, G R E A T, transcendental abilities and connect them to helping Lord Caitanya fufill His Mission.
Try to make Chile the leader in Lord Caitanya's movement!
We need orchards, many more devotees, Temples, music, books, movies, towns there!
Great photos.
