HpS - ASA -- We don't have letters from any ISKCON authorities approving anyone for any intiations, nor even anyone being "Refugiados"! Who are the devotees? Your good self?

12. Sunday 16, Mangala Arati at 4:30 in the morning and Srimad Bhagavatam class.
13. Departure to the airport 6:30 in the morning.
14. Flight scheduled to the city of Lima from 8:00 am.
This program is at your disposal, for the changes that you saw convenient.
It should be noted that there is an increase of people interested in Krishna Consciousness in Arequipa, although the temple is a little far away, we are more and more present in the activities and festivities that we perform. We are also using Facebook Messenger to communicate among devotees, our group is called Om namó bhagavaté vasudeva jay.
Indeed, we are now improving in kirtan and increased cooperation among devotees; This translates into emotive congregational songs. Surely, much more is needed to move forward, but there is willingness in most of the devotees, to do things right.
Personally, I feel that I am improving a little more each day in Krishna Consciousness, but it really is very difficult to advance consciously and sincerely. Actually I am very fallen and I alone, I do not have the necessary forces to face Maya, so I ask you to please come to our aid. We need it a lot!
HpS - Here we are! What is your regular work??
You, also asked me if I followed the ISKCON Discipleship Course, the answer is yes, it was a very important and sobering course, highlighting the figure of Srila Prabhupada as Siksa Guru preeminent, among other subjects.
HpS - O.K! NOI-3, "In this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we require everyone to rise early in the morning, by four A.M., and attend maṅgala-ārati, or morning worship, then read Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, perform kīrtana, and so forth." In Spanish it say, "pedimos" but in English, "require". How is your Morning Program now. Up before 10AM?? <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />
With regard to who is the best cook, he could hardly respond, there mothers do wonders in the kitchen, and prepare true banquets offered at the lotus feet of Lord Krishna and associates. The Arequipeño is sybarite by tradition.
I bid you farewell, hoping that you will always remain strong and healthy Guru Maharaja.
Your humble servant,
Bhakta Renato.
HpS - ASA -- We wait with great enthusiasm for your answers to our questions. We may have some Professors, Artists, Poets to meet while we are there also. We can all go and meet them.
