Hare Krsna! All Glories To Guru Parampara All Glories To Srila Prabhupada All Glories To Hanumatpresaka Swami Please accept my humble obeisanses Gurudeva, i extend my apologize for the absence of letters the past months, after i called you in december marathon there where a LOT of changes one after another, so i needed a little bit stability to structure my mind and heart in order to write. Sri Radha and i flew to peru in new year's day, her brother got diagnosis of 4th level cancer, so we thought we was going to say good bye to him (chant hare krsna, read Bhagavad-gita for him, feed him prasad etc.) wonderfully he recovered at least enought to keep with treatment, we will see next 4 months... i tried but never found the way to go to lima during your visit, still i got big remembrance of you due i was in cusco with some of my older God-brothers, i took A LOT of inspiration from them, about personal confidence and practice of Bhakti, but most of all, a lot of inspiration about Grhastha asram, Sri Radha and me had the chance to experience sankirtana with Gadai Gauranga & Nadiya, i beg so one day i can become fit to worship dvarka silas... also, learned about eagerness from Rohini kumara Dasa & yoga-mayi DD, but the ones that took my heart were Ananda Maya's prabhu Family, meeting them streghten my will to perform a service whithin ISKCON as a responsable Grhastha, we consulted an astrologer and told us the best date to marry was 19 th May, so we are preparing by now, a few more austeritys, accepting service for small-home, deities here in Queretaro, and also we will make 2 yajñas before that day, do you have any suggestion i could add at this? For now, we are back here at Queretaro city, taking more personal responsabilities, going sankirtan almost every day, at least a few hours, trying to improve each day our sadhana (sometimes we wake up but fall asleep after breakfast... or so.) and also trying to get deeper, heartfeeling relationships with the rest of the vaishnavas in general,still we make a special push with the ones that we appreciate. Personally, im inquirying from various sources, specially HDG why ISKCON is more like "small comunities gathered internationally" than an actual INTERNATIONAL - SOCIETY. trying to focus the obvious, a society has plenty of variety, still ISKCON has a lot of tabues about expanding service outside of temple structured thinking models. Again, thank you for your exemplary life, it constitute the very faith i have this movement is the beating heart of Srila Prabhupada, despite of some parts like me being materially ill, it can be fixed just by Sincere work and causless mercy. Your growing servant Krsna-kirtana Dasa HP swami - AgtSP. Paoho. We are on Barcelona. There are a lot of institutes outside of GBC ISKCON, no? E.g. Oxford Center for Hindu Studies. If we keep healthy contact with local GBC, they seem to accept these mature efforts. All of ISKCON's problems seem rather natural to us. We see progress is pioneering our own Sankirtan within the social and institutional life of ISKCON. Have friends, fight corruption. Support sane rules. Send pictures.
