Hare Krishna Maharaja

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please accept my humble obeisances.

I hope at the moment of receiving this letter your health is good.

HpS - AGTSP!!!!!    Paoho.   We have been having some joint problem with hips and legs. May get worse. Some stomach problems, cramps, pains, may get worse, maybe ulcer or stomach cancer. Of course, eyes and ears and life-airs are old, but spiritually, by mercy [!!!] of Srila Prabhupada and Krsna, we are making progress to becoming honest, sincere, devotees.

I had some problem with the previous user and the email asociated to it, so I have changed madhavi76 to Madhavi76.

I keep on doing the sadhana regularly and listening some of your speach in internet. Now I'm in Nueva Vrajamandala to attend Vayasaky Prabhú harmonium course from 14th to 25th.

HpS - ASA --- Very, very nice!!

This July I attended the Ratha Yatra in Lisbon. It was my first experience in a Ratha Yatra, and was a wonderfull one.

Before the Ratha Yatra I had the opportunity to meet Purushatraya swami Maharaja in Lisbon thanks to Nityananda das prabhú (my Siksha guru in Alicante with whom I did bhakti yoga courses), and I felt a strong connection with him when a small group of Spain had a private meeting with him. While answering a question of a devotee (lady) about how to develop a relationship with him in order to take future iniciation he answer that the way he does is keep in contact via email, that he answer directly, also to ladys, máximum in 2 days. Due to my nature, and that previously I had a grihasta guru from raja yoga with whom I could talk directly, I’m finding some obstacles in communication via blog instead of direct email, so I feel the way of dealing with communication of Purushotraya swami and his mood swits better with my way of feeling and express myself. For this reason I humbly want to ask you for blessing to keep on with the instruction for future iniciation with Purushatraya swami, although I will keep on following your lectures and guidance as siksa guru.

At your service

Bhaktin María

HpS - Jaya!   AGTSP. Pamho. You can also see that we cannot even keep these Blog exchanges going very quickly while we travel. Of course, we heard from Devamrta Swami that he does not do much correspondence when he travels. It is just a fact. While traveling we will talk with maybe 17-people a day, so there is no time for letters, except Urgent ones.

If you have a more fluid communication with Maharaja that is very good, but . . .  I think you may discover that there are limitations there, even more than with our system, because he is a Sannyasi so communication with ladies in private is not permitted, usually disastrous, and second, he is also GBC Secretary and there has enormous administrative communication load. He is a very wonderful person as a Sannyasi and GBC adminstrator. You can only benefit, benefit, benefit, by communication with him.
Fundamentally all this has to take place in the perspective of Srila Prabhupada as your, his, my, Sampradaya, Founder-Acharya. Unless these relationships lead us to a direct experience of Srila Prabhupada, "Hello, Bhaktin Maria. How are you?", "I am fine Srila Prabhupada." "Good, can you help XYZ with this publication project?" "Yes, Srila Prabhupada!". "Thank you."

So, very much like to hear from you as one of our principle journalists in Spain!  What has happened with Yadu Swami???  We have lost all contact with him, which is very unusual and we have some very important topics to discuss!

Thank you very much!
