Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja.

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I want to thank you for coming, always incomparable, fills us with enthusiasm and looking your complete dedication to Srila Prabhupada's service, inspires us tremendously.  How are you Gurudeva?

HpS - Well enough to chant our rounds!!

We are very worried about those cramps.

HpS - We have an agreement with our stomach that it will get better if don't overindulge in milk sweets.

We would love to be able to visit you some day.

HpS - How is that???  We are visiting right now!

I will try to be brief (I am very happy)

House and plans: We moved to Chorrillos, it is near to the sea, is nice and quiet. We are starting to plan to have an atelier [altar?] with Gandharva, to begin with the Hare Krishna crafts that Gandharva told you, we want to be able to work at home in an activity that keeps us connected with the pastimes of our beloved Sri Krishna.

HpS - Srila Prabhupada said that we could maintain ourselves with devotional paraphernalia. Peru is especially good for that. Start with small ideas and test the market. What things are you thinking of making??

Attention to His Lordships:  I will like to comb Subhadra's hair, in a braid as the temple deity, so, our dear Deity have not hair, but I know how to make small wigs of embroidery threads (soft cotton threads), is it okay if I make one to Subhadra? Do you allow me to do that?

HpS -  Hmmm?   I don't know. Never heard of that before, but we do put clothes on them, crowns, also it is for your home deities not institutional deities.        O.K.  Try it and see if She likes it!

And Gurudeva, why we should not worship the deitys of a solar eclipse?

HpS - I don't know the details. I think it is because the influence of Rahu and Ketu is very prominent. It is like the pregnancy of Diti in the evening - bad time to get a child.

About regulatory principles-studies: We are following the 4 principles, singing 16 rounds daily. We are trying to get up every day for Mangalartik. In winter I always have difficulty doing it every day, but every time we do it more often, there are ups and downs, but we continue to strive. We are taking Bhakti-sastri with Prabhu Laksmana, I must confess that I have neglected my studies, I strongly wish to resume my reading habits.

Improving the Japa: thanks to Gandharva prabhu, I discovered that sometimes I chant omitting 2 Krishnas, or the Hare of the end. So, To correct it now I sing reading the Maha Mantra. I would like to chant with a better attitude.

Service in Wilson: 

-We are doing pujari service 2 Sunday a month (I LOVE to dress and adorn Them very much!)

-We will take care of the general prasadam one Saturday per month.

-Nitya Kishori and I, cooked cupcakes, cookies, and other sweets for the festivals.

And we also have talked with the authorities because we want to commit ourselves in more service, so we will support Jagat Pavitram Prabhu  in the Saturday program, want to stay in the temple for Mangalartik on Sundays. 

Preaching Plans: We (Gandharva, Nitya Kishori and I) are organizing meetings with friends (in houses), to talk about different topics from the perspective of Bg and SB, themes such as happiness, spirituality, body and soul are themes that attracts to many people. Gandharva gives the talk. Also we give them prasadam. People like to share their point of view and their experiences. We try to make them feel very comfortable and give them support (Some go through cancer experiences) We are surprised to see how many people are looking hard to get more awareness.

HpS - Jaya!  They then tell their friends about the englightenment they get and they come to ask questions.   Complete Sankirtan. Nothing else needs to be done.

Thank you for your valuable time and you countless mercy Gurudeva.<img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

All Glories to Sri Pancatattva, Sri Guru Parampara, Srila Prabhupada and to you!

HpS - ASA -- Aren't Chorrillos a kiind of fried cake stick stuffed with condensed milk?  Are you working?
Is Nitya-kishori Devi Dasi going to gymnasium for weight lifting?
