Dear Gurudeva, Please accept my respectful obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Sankirtan movement.
I feel so lucky to write you, since a time ago that I did not but assure you that every day I receive the fortune to think you.
HpS - Well, AGTSP! Paoho... it is so nice to hear from you also, and it is nice to think of your dog every day it is also nice to feed him!
After 5 month trip to Europe where I was studying at the University of fine Art in Austria, Vienna. I finish a good academic exchange with a project that speaks to Migration, Movement and Destiny. Use my line hands with landscape to the city Vienna, creating an analogy with tram in the city. Migration now is the topic in Europe and in specific Vienna with full of immigrants from many countries, paint the lines of my hands with henna to speak also of the migration of soul, the eternal soul migration. The project was very well received at the University and the Embassy of Mexico in Austria.
HPS = ASA ---- Sankirtan! Showing people how to get direction from Krsna!
During my stay I lived with 3 Russian matayis really beautiful and loving, I visited temples as Simhashalam in Germany, Villa Vrindavan in Florence, the Temple of Madrid and Radhadesa in Belgium, I consider that the best of this trip was see you and realized the great effort that made to travel of place to place, you has such precise observations of each situation and place. Without his company it would not have been the same. Thanks for the blessings and protection given to me all the time, you are who connects me with God supremely attractive personality.
HpS - Was big surprise to see you also. Like seeing a vase full of nice flowers in a room. You consciousness is what you have to share!
After researching and thinking it over, I understand that the plan to live for a year in Madrid needed to think better with more time. Finally I returned to Mexico and feeling very happy, I could have your association 2 times!!! , but I dont have the opportunity to talk to you personally, but when I look around me and see that I am surrounded by devotees, hearing your classes and make service sankirtan I can see that all is well and I just have to increasingly take refuge in their instructions to someday aspire to a deeper advance. Education seminars have been very inspiring, thank you Gurudeva!
HpS - Haraye namah Krsna, Yadavaya namah... Srila Prabhupada quotes so often from the song the line, Yanhara carana sevi, bhakti sani vas... Serve the lotus feet of the Six Goswamis in the association of devotees.
I have done a year living with [room]mates in a [apartment] department where we worship the deity every day, go Mangalartik the temple regularly and have services in the kitchen or Sankirtan. Some matayis working in office, other study and others are dedicated to sankirtan, some finally travel to other countries, or marry but always come new matayis. Thanks for the blessings that once gave u, I hope this apartment help this most matayis who want to live near the temple at a [cheap] ship price.
Currently studying my last year of University of Art and do Sankirtan weekends, I have a week offering to the temple and do Mangalartik 5 days a week. 16 rounds and 4 principles. I read SB in the mornings and in my free time Mahabharata. Before the trip to Europe I was full of desire, desire to travel, learn more, study abroad, etc. I was too absorbed in the academic and not in the transcendental :( But by the grace of Krishna everything has come true and now I feel with calm, with no plans, just with focus on my spiritual life and energy to learn more about Krishna consciousness, but now finish the carrier its so hard, I try to see it as a service but I can´t.
HpS - Yes, we are faced with newer and newer challenges. Arjuna lost his enthusiasm to kill the Kurus, but Krsna convinced him to do it. On the other hand maybe you should not do it. Seems like just one more year, then do it but in a very simple direct way. Relate it all to Krsna even if you don't get highest scores, and even if it shocks your professors a little. Sankirtan Girl at the University!
Excuse me the long letter Gurudeva, I needed so much write all this. I wish that you return to North America well and much much care of Krishna.
You and Srila Prabhupada live in my heart.
Your aspiring servant Satyabhama dd
HpS - ASA -- Satyabhama is a very Cuban minded girl friend, wife, of Krsna, no?
