All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Please accept my humble obeisance’s,

Dear  Gurudeva,

Hare Krishna, hope your health is fine and Sorry for writing not so often. This year has been of great changes, challenges, still trying to take some perspective, sattva guna.

The 6 of December our daughter Lalita was born,

HpS - ASA -- Jaya!  She must be some very, very special Soul!

   she was expected for the end of December, but due of some health problems of Yasoda, my wife, the delivery come before, it was a very intense experience, but now mummy and baby are ok. Is a very interesting experience, now complete renounce in many ways.

HpS - Yes, after experiencing the problems of childbirth, many men and women decide, once is enough!

Also finishing building a house, it have been a very very very struggling experience dealing with  workers, not to be cheated, and being cheated some times, robed , but it goes on, maybe next month or the other we can move there, grihasta ashrama is coming complete, very much exhausted of this material world, this taking me much energy.

HpS - We experience same thing working to maintain our little Ashrama in Tennessee. Is a very maturing experience, education, something your father, uncle, should teach you.

Last months opening a yoga – therapies space in the north of cordoba city, quite near from were  we re living. Working there with Ayurveda, yoga, sound therapies, courses, etc. it s starting to work fine little by little more  people approaching, planning for next year to start in there some kirtan , maybe samskaras, Bhagavad gita programs for people in general.

HpS - Bring Nikunja bihari Das some times?

My Sadhana isn’t very good, chanting my rounds, but in the times I  have some space to do it, have to improve that, needing to do it, to organize better my life, now passing throw like a tornado.

HpS - Yes!!!  We have the same struggle. Maya always trying to make us forget that if our rounds improve EVERY THING ELSE will improve in the best way possible.

Last letter you ask me if I m near devotees. In the place I'm living, there some here but not practicing , not active.  Mostly in the Cordoba city are more devotees, and time to time take the association of Ambarisa nd Vrishabanu, they are like 1 hr from here.

Here I attach also some photos from last Ratha Yatra in November  we were with mantra yoga and meditation.

yr servant,

Madhavendra Puri Das

HpS - ASA -- Thank you for all this wondeful news. We hope this year is much, much better. You meet friends to expand your cultural center and educated many people in the principles of SB, CC!!!

Nice photos!

Sannyasi has to see babies different than Ghrastha. Is funny. Don't forget. Grhastha is preparation for Vanaprastha.
