Querido Gurudeva:
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
How are you? Sorry I don't write to you more often.
Yesterday, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of Iskcon in Spain. The event was organized mainly by Yadunanadana Swami and it took place in a very beautiful theater, in Madrid. A lot of distinguished guests were invited. Definitely, it was a very entertaining and emotive celebration.
ASA - Jaya!
I am going on with my difficulties on chanting NICE rounds. I chant 16 but no nice. I usually get up at 4:30 - 5:00 am and chant 8 rounds before my "morning kids routine" begins. I chant the other 8 rounds during the day (recess time, lunch...) but it is so difficult to be on my own! And when the kids go to sleep, I am so tired that I fell slept too. Anyway, I know I should improve the quality of my rounds, but sometimes I feel I don't know how to do it.
ASA - You need a partner. Japa partner. Chant one round together, or report to each other how your round was every day. Then increase it.
Concerning to Gurukula, I make activities for the little ones (2 to 4 y.o.) every Thursday evening at home and activities for 5 to 12 y.o. every weekend at the Temple or at a park (depending on the weather and the activity). I am trying to do my best, but I don't know if I am doing it totally right or not because I am alone with it. I try to follow the examples of devotees doing this service in another countries. Thanks to them, I can go on.
HpS - With whom do you have association from othe countries. You are a great hero. We want to follow your example.
Still working at school. It is a private school (from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm) where I have Jaganattha, Baladeva and Subhadra dolls Deities in an handmade altar. The kids wake them up and put them to sleep at the end of the school day. The children are enjoying watching Krishna cartoons and, at the end of the day, we make our "disco time " with some nice kirtans. A lot of fun!
Thank you for reading this message and helping me to stay in the right track.
Hoping one day I will really become your humble servant.
Purnamasi devi dasi
HpS - ... and how is The Jayanta! How old is Nimai? What is he doing?
Such nice fotos. We added one of Krsna that we like. Maybe He will come with His friends to be in your school.
