<pre data-fulltext="" data-placeholder="Traducción" dir="ltr" id="tw-target-text"> Hare Krishna! PAMHO, AGTSP Dear Guru Maharaj, Hari-kripa is now anniversary today August 15, there were parades and floats passed through the main streets of the city. It has been several years since we had Rathayatras and it is very unfortunate that now we can not participate as before. Currently, there is a directive to perform normal activities of a temple, such as preaching Sankirtan: selling books, magazines; prasadam distribution and not least Harinam. But if there is a temple in the house Mahamantra das Prabhu, who along with the mother Ramalila Devi das, perform a very important service by keeping intact the daily maintenance of the altar and respective care and attention to the deities. Mangala arati programs exist and study of the Bhagavad Gita, also in the house of a devotee, I do not attend personally, by the huge distance from my home, but we usually meet every Saturday at 6:30 pm and on days holiday, where most of Krishna devotees and friends gather. Photo Govinda Prabhu Abhay on the harmonium two bhaktas and Mother Ramalila adding to the altar, a small plant Tulasi, she cherishes love and is waiting to grow stronger. Photo We are already more than 5 years in this situation of lack of leadership due to internal problems among some senior devotees and our lack of association, each sees his own and there is no commitment altogether. To move forward, we need a more central place and a good vegetarian restaurant. The few that we are, we are organizing to achieve that goal. We have a project for the creation of an Institute of Vaishnava Studies, where you can teach workshops as vegetarian cuisine, ayurveda and yoga. In Arequipa, there is no an educational center where these subjects are taught and thought it would be very profitable, economically, in entering this field. To this end, some devotees are already preparing as teachers and specialists in these issues. I have understood that Ekadasi mother, daughter of Ramalila mother, has just received as a teacher. In addition, this month, we will conduct fundraising activities, to invite you Guru Maharaj, to visit us please and give us his blessing and advice. We just need to include in your travel itinerary, we of the possible date and we take care of your travel and stay. Forgive me for the dumb question I did. I have very clear that I am the one who is available, when you see deem appropriate. His servant Renato.</pre>

HpS - Hare Krsna, Thank you for the news. I hope you can see our news in the Kapi Dhvaja and the DTCs.

You can always develope your direct relationship with Srila Prabhupad through whatever transparent via media you can find. Then you can cultivate your circle of friends, Sankirtan partners and then work on developing the ISKCON institution. What you are all doing seems pretty good.  It is difficult, so any result is quite praiseworthy. Go ahead.

I think we will come to Arrequipa in April.

Are you ready for initiation?
