SWAMI, HOW IS YOU HEALTH?: Its O.K. As long as we follow Doctor Rupa-anuga/Super-Soul”s advice our energee is cool and then the health is cool.

LETTERS-TO-THE-EDITATOR
- Partha-sarathi dasa
Dear Maharaja's and Prabhu'sPlease accept my obeisance's. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Did a Govardhana Puja celebration and over 200 came... bhajans, class and prasadam... so nice….
EDITATOR: In Chile we took Govardhana Hill to the Municipal Plaza, worshipped Him and then distributed the halavah to all of the public. They liked it very much. Kirtana and Halavah.
Today on the day of Srila Prabhupada's disappearance, we are happy to announce the successful completion of the first Iraq Ratha Yatra. Originally the Ratha Yatra was scheduled for January, but due to my moving to a different part of Iraq, we arranged for all preparations to be completed with in two days. After some unexpected issues came to light form the authorities, everything was set to go.
From the first light, people were waiting for the Lord's dharshan. At around 12 noon the Lord made His appearance, much to the pleasure of all assembled. The turn out was not as big as we have hoped, but considering the circumstances, I believe it was a success. About 50-75 souls, hungry and eager for the Lord's mercy chanted and danced. A simple feast of dahl and rice and HG Ratna Bhusana Prabhu's famous cookies filled all's stomach. While the procession was not a long distance and everything was very simple, I feel the efforts of all involved and all those that attended were the true offering. Many came away from this Ratha Yatra will a deeper understanding of spiritual life and for a moment, Iraq was transformed into Vaikunta.
I will be posting photo's in the next few days, when I am settled into my new area of preaching.
Yours in the service of Sri Guru & Gauranga

Well, this HED is going out a little late, Sunday morning, but O.K. Been so busy here. No time for Maya. Monkey’s Dairy of a Traveling Creature, DTC, for Partha sarathi Prabhu finished yesterday. Now he is starting the next for M. Purnamasi in Spaini. Because she asked for it. Uncle Gismo is editing the old one and it should be in the next HED. Actually that should be the major content of the HED’s from now on. Happy New Year. Still alive.

Dear Guru Maharaja, Hare Krsna.
Pamro, agtSP.
Thank you soo much for sending these HED's. Yesterday, reading it, my heart was getting a relief from usual miseries. I can tell for myself that through HED I feel you near. Because I'm a ignorant fool and can't survive only on vani. I feel HED like your extension.
Your servant,
EDITATOR: On the contrary we feel like your-all’s letters are mercy.

Yesterday once again, and for the first time in Krishna Lunch, we had a highly improved serving day. The event was on the occasion of thanksgiving celebration at FIU, We had 3 volunteers for most likely 80% of the time, besides Deepak, Sharma and myself. Jivagowswami das, a disciple of Prabhupada was present and he set a professional table for book distribution, and actually he made us look so elegant, everything was so inspiring. 148 servings were distributed. A Dean
came to our table, took prasada and pay for it, we didn't ask, but he placed his donation, incredible. Mr Jonathan, the Food Court manager also came, took two lunches, because his wife is vegetarian, and he also put his donation voluntarily. New members joined, few professors came, ate and joined the club also….

We served, Green leaf salad with Italian dressing, Veggie Lasagna

more pieces and others bought only the rose balls), and Herbal drink.

M. Rohini, Ananga, Patraka and myself talked about perspectives, personalities, goals, etc. I think that we are beginning a mature state in our service and realizing the necessity of mature team work. We are proposing a branch with M. Rohini and other people (Goura G, Candramukhi, Krsna-karmini all teachers) in an Educational perspective and Languajes are part of it: Some sankrit, some English, translations etc. Many more details. We are having at least to more meetings to clarify our vision.
So we need a meeting with you, a good hour or so to talk about our project and listen to your advice, put us in your calendar please.
Patraka and I are proposing a name (The others have to propose their own) that would reflect our perspective: VEDAS, Vaisnavas Educadores Difundiendo Amor y Sabiduría.
Its been a hard day, politics, etc. but yesterday, Govardhana Hill, was a complete succes. We did a fund raising campaign: "Let's Everyone Build the Hill". I spent lots of time talking to people, went to Shell on Saturday night to present my idea and was great. We collected 340 soles ($135 US) and lots of fruit.
We built an enormous hill, colorful, lots of fruits, nuts, little plastic animals that we gave to Radha-priya for prizes for her children’s show, we had 2 cows, a bull, a turkey, a horse, a burro, a duck, a guss, a ruster, a gallina, a sheep, was so fun.
Your servant,
Note: need a telefone to call you and times according peruvian time please.

Dear GuruMaharaj,
Please accept my dandavat pranams. AGTSP. After seeing the letters, I was also thinking of sending an update on my progress in the spiritual path and take your orders and advice on them. Please find my October's status below.
Dear GuruMaharaj,
Please accept my dandavat pranams. AGTSP. After seeing the letters, I was also thinking of sending an update on my progress in the spiritual path and take your orders and advice on them. Please find my October's status below.
I did get up almost 20-25 days at morning 4AM and finished 9 rounds loudly, after that completed the 7 rounds in the evenings. Read 1 verse of Bhagavatam along with Purport, 25-27 days. Maintained No Onion and Garlic for almost 25-27 days. No chocolate also for 25-27 days. Had no coffee in the month of October. I think, I attended almost all Sundays feasts. I missed out on the Ekadasi fast days, Maharaj. I will try to perform better this month and also work on accurate record keeping. Looking forward for your visit to XYZ town.
Your most fallen and fickle minded servant
Your most fallen and fickle minded servant
EDITATOR: The rounds early helps? Seems a problem is bad attention, not bad intention? Japa works for that purpose. Get addicted to being awake! Alert. Intelligent at every moment. Then at work, lunch etc. you are always thinking, conscious.
.
Well, I'm very incompetent, but I want to help in your sankirtana, but you need a lot of intelligence (which I don't have) to work as a team. I'm working as a interpreter in a sudra fashion but I really want to organize better the translation of you work, so I'm going to try it again and try to have a meeting with the League, and if somebody else like M. Rohini have to lead the team is fine, I always considered myself as a facilitator more than a leader. So yes, I'm going to work on that. I also want to develop the Sunday feast in Chosica, so may be ASA can support and guide this programs(Did it already). I've been working on details with Patraka , now its time to work on them. So Gurumaharaj, I need your blessings if I want to do this right, I don't want to desappoint you, I don't want to be a burden for you and want to help you. I'm just want to be an instrument of you, Srila Prabhupada and Krsna, I want to be an instrument of Your love as Saint Francis said.
