SRI SRI GURU-GAURANGA JAYATAH
On behalf of all the devotees from Mexico as well as from my self, please accept our must humble obeisances at the sacred dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj, and all glories to the blessed event of your Sri Vyasa-Puja. May our obeisances go also to all those fortunate souls who will gather to worship you with their full strength and devoted hearts in Australia. Maharaj, since last time we communicate with you we have been in Merida, Yuc. Then, to attend our Second National Minister Assembly, I flew to Mexico city, where I'm at present in the house of Simati Lakshmi Rani Devi Dasi. From different part of Mexico, Godbrothers and Godsisters, all your dedicated devotees, gather together and held a beautiful and devoted meeting. Madhuchanda Devi Dasi along with Vrajanath Prabhu and the devotees of the Mexico city community, did a first class arrangements to held this program. The devotees rented a house in Cuernavaca (a city near by Mexico, which you visited just for few hours during your second visit to our country in 1994) and we all stayed there continuously for four days approximately, discussing mainly, how to fulfil your desires. Therefore, now that we are celebrating your appearance day, we beg you Maharaj: Oh, merciful Vaisnava! Dear Lord of our lives! We implore you to give us the grace through which we may be fit to serve you properly, and to serve that which is dear to you. Because we find ourselves devoid of that capacity, and our minds agitated by the strong wind of material desires. Every day during the meeting, we had mangal arati and class, congregational chanting, questions and answers' period, prasadam, and recreation (swimming pool-men) etc. When the last day came, and we have cover all the different points of our national agenda, there was a speech given by Jaibalai Prabhu on "The nature of the preacher-relief work". And at the end, everyone was given a chance to express words of appreciation for that event. That was the happiest moment of all, everybody became very joyful and expressed their heart content. Anger, suspicion, party spirit, etc. vanished, and your constant advice of "Trinad api sunicena..." became visible in the expressions of all of the participants. The general sentiment, was: "We don't want the meeting (the atmosphere) to be finish. We would like it to go forever". Maharaj, we are trying to continue with the services here. We wish to consult with you and inform you about our activities and their development. I'm sending to you, as an attached document, the resume of the Second National Minister Assembly. We will see in the future for a translation of it into English. We would like you to know about these meetings, their contents, and most important of all your directives in these matters. We know that we can deviated from the conclusions of devotion, and also do not represent your desire properly. We have heard how Srila Prabhupada corrected many times his disciples, and instructed them in the proper way. Please accept again our dandavat pranams at your holy feet. On behalf of your Mexican devotees, your servant Swami B.K. Ashram Maharaj
