Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
First of all, thank you very much for your letter, and sorry for answering so late, but from 27th april to 1th may, I have been with Yadunandana Swami Maharaja in Avila, to attend the bi-annually meeting of "Encuentro Iberico de Yoga" organized by the portuguese yoga association, and I didn't check the email this days. It has been a very nice experience.
HpS - Jaya! Preaching to Maitreya Muni et al.
Talking about the link "understanding about Diksa guru", I have read it completely and I accept it. I only have one question, the next day of the annual report is 13th January 2018?
HpS - ASA -- No, Dec. 19th. "Our" Vysapapuja Day. Always day before Disappearance of Jiva Goswami. We will put notice in the Blog and hope that we get lots of other reports even before that.
Currently I keep on following all the principles and chanting the 16 rounds (but still not of good cuality [quality], I hope it will change in future) and attending Mangala arati, and morning program in Nueva Vraja Mandala, and will be here until 11th May to attend GBC meeting (following the request of Yadunandana Swami), then will come back to Torrevieja (Alicante) and will come back to Nueva Vraja Mandala at the beginning of July till the end of July. This weekend I'll start Bhakti Sastri course with Yadunandana Swami.
On the other hand, of course I would like to have a closer contact with you, not only formally for Diksa, so I would like to ask about the posibilities of visiting you where ever you are (USA, Peru, India) in future and maybe spend some time in an Ashrama doing seva (as I'm doing in Nueva Vraja Mandala).
ASA - If you look at the Calendar in the Kapi Dhvaja you can see our program and start to think about plans to join with us. Of course, we hope to get to Spain as soon as possible. Then we can all be together on the transcendental plane.
Please accept my humble obeisances.
Bhaktin Maria
ASA - Nice photos! More and more interest in Yoga.
