All glories to Srila Prabhupada All glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay My obeisances Maharaja Dear Maharaja, how are you? Here in Chile feeling the separation of your association

. . . .

First, a small report: 4 principles: OK Japa: Not so Ok. I am aware that I must improve my singing.

Now, I want to tell you that as a result of the call to a meeting in the temple about "Caring for the devotees", a public denunciation of a fact of child sexual abuse committed by the one who was a member of the congregation is made, at present and for efforts of the victim herself, this person is prohibited from entering all the temples. On this topic, the devotees began to talk about respect among Vaisnavas, and to address issues of sexual violence .. . .

HpS - [As you have asked we are not publishing the details of the situation but have shared your letter with Jiva Goswami Das in Houston who is our student and finishing his work for his Master of Social Work diploma]

Please, Maharaja help us in this struggle with his light and his words. Your servant, Ma. Soledad.

HpS - ASA - This is the material world, even when Krsna was personally present in Vrndavana there were demons causing so much terror that the girls were having miscarriages. There is no real peaceful way to live in a mental hospital, except becoming doctors, good patients, with the aim of getting people out.

Considering who we are we don't want to stay in ISKCON Chile. We should only look at it as a transit place to ISKCON Goloka.

O.K.?

Beyond this you can contact the GBC Secretary, Zonal Supervisors. I have done this and was not satisfied on certain issues, so I took it to two more GBC Secretaries and was still not satisfied. It may not be that they are less competent or sincere than I am, but just that the way the institution is structured, the world is structured they cannot help.

Then, we can and have gone to Srila Prabhupada directly. We pray to him etc. and are working to solve the problems ourselves. Of course, it is hard but we don't feel frustrated. We are doing what we can.

You can do that.

O.K.?

If you DO SOMETHING then knowledge will come how to do more. It is the DOING, Bhakti, that gets the progress, not just making extended plans.

Be eveyone's well wisher. The Evil One is the one who is suffering the most. Find His fault and help him.
