Hare Krishna dear Guru Maharaja ! AGTSP ! PAMHO
I hope you are in good health at the time of receiving this letter.
HpS - ASA - Our health or Brother Asses health? We had not thought about it but Brother Ass does not have stomach pain, hip pain or heart arrhytmia today but has put on a little weight and eyes are certainly fading and deep respiration requires some little attention.
Oink! It is good. It is very good. Soon this well used body will dissolve and the parts recycled into another body. Where will be go? We think that we may take birth as an ugly, greedy, little fat girl in ISKCON with a complexion like crudded milk, with stupid selfish character, an alcoholic mother and father etc. Hope they endorse home schooling and our mother lays off Whiskey Sours while we are in embryo and we can find the KRSNA book as soon as we are able to see pictures!
I'm writing to tell you that last saturday, december 2nd, we had a wonderful Ratha Yatra Festival here in Santiago de Chile!
ASA - Lucky, Rascal!
A few days before, I went to the airpoirt with the Iskcon Chile Team for HH Maha Visnu Swami and Harinam Ruci. They are really amazing ! They came out chanting Hare Krishna, playing Mrdangas and Kartalas, involving all the people in the airport and everyone was happy and participating in the chanting!
ASA - Did you also chant to receive them? Flags?!
Since the beginning they was [were] a source of inspiration for all of us. I was able to accompany them to 3 Harinam by the morning, before Bhagavatam class, It was really pure nectar! Even we all get [got] into a school[s] and everybody there was happy and no any gard [guard] make some problem for us !! and the school's children started that day chanting Hare Krishna !!
The Festival day I was working helping to the production team since early morning. I've got a chevrolet van so was very useful the whole day. It's called Bhaktimobile and has done many service this year in each festival... in its next lifetime will be a Ferrari XD
ASA - Maybe a golden chariot in Dvaraka or even better a bull cart in Braja.
Saturday midday, Santiago's main street was closed and the Lord's Chariot passed dazzling. Many devotees dancing and chanting and many new people came to the starting point and many new people joined as the chariot moved. HH Maha Visnu Swami leading the Kirtan. The police escorting. Many many people pulling the strings [ropes] and making advancing the Chariot of Lord Jaghanatha, Baladeva, Subhadra and Srila Prabhupada !
Aprox 2 hours after starting all we came to one of the most important and central parks in Santiago [what name????], there was the stage and the stand with Prasadama, books, yoga and ayurveda, etc. Many people who were in transit there were staying a while to participate. 9 pm festival was over.
ASA - And all the devotes dead!
Everyone back in the Temple was with the energy so high, still chanting and dancing with the devotees of Harinam Ruci, they really never stop! [Not Dead] When I returned home almost midnight, I just could not sleep, but I was very happy.
The governor and the team of the municipal office were very satisfied with all the work of ISKCON Chile. They said want to do more things with us. Also mass media.
I send some pictures.
Please, Guru Maharaja, forgive all the mistakes that this foolish human being makes in the communication to you.
ASA - Hey, Dude, you keep writing like this we'll give you the ASA Pullitzer prize for journalism! Are we right, everyone??
HARE KRISHNA !!!!!!
Your aspiring disciple and servant,
