ASA (Buck White) - Thank you Mother Yugala-kishore Devi Prabhu et al. We just answered a similar letter from Isvari Devi Dasi also thinking of this letter. Can you look at the answer we gave to Mataji. It should go through Translate.google.com easily and then give your answer?  We are making so much progress.

Can you also send photos of The Jambuvanitos with little bio-data?

INTRODUCTION

Thanks to Srila Prabhupada’s mercy, I could meet my spiritual master and study Bhakti Sastri and Bhakti Vaibhava. That saint association is an invaluable gift that I will never be able to afford. Therefore, trying to reciprocate in some way the effort of H.H. Hanumatpresaka Swami, my spiritual master, who for many years has been supporting to ISKCON education in our country and worldwide, I very humbly wish to coordinate the reactivation of NIMSAR, Educational Institution at the service of ISKCON.

Reply from Hanumatpresaka Swami about reactivating NIMSAR:

 “In terms of NIMSA, if you want to present yourself as an ASA branch, we need a good deal of organization before receive the approval from Tío Gismo, Tom Brown and Buck White and the Executive Command! Electing of President, Secretary, Treasurer, norms of function and the approval of the National Board if it is for all Peru. Of course, it’s good to talk with Mathuresa Dasa about these matters, right?”

Srila Prabhupada presents a profile for the study of the Scriptures, in his following letter:

Bombay, January 27th 1976

My estimated Svarupa Damodara,

Please accept my blessings. I beg of you to receive thanks for your letter of December 26^th, 1975, I have read its content carefully Your plan for a Summer Bhaktivedanta Institute is a very good idea… brahmana means pandita. Therefore, I’m suggesting exams. Bhakti Sastri (for all brahmanas) based on the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Isopanisad, Nectar of Devotion, Nectar of Instruction and all the small books. Bhakti Vaibhava based on the above plus the first six Cantos of Srimad Bhagavatam. Bhaktivedanta based on the above plus the Cantos 7-12 of Srimad Bhagavatam.Bhakti Sarvabhauma based on the above plus the Caitanya Caritamrta. These degrees may correspond to Bachelor, Master and Doctorate. Consider how to organize this institute.

In the hope that the present will find you well.

A. C Bhaktivedanta Swami

ASA - '@'qnq~~   O.K.  We will read it now!

Hare Krsna!

Class with Hawaii was really great. Then we talked with Visvambara Das and Subhra Devi Dasi and got a lot done in terms of fixing a schedule for the Seattle event so that everyone gets properly displayed.

BG is a lecture.
SB is a lecture.

Krsna gave the Gopis, free, a lecture when they came to the forest to see Him at night.

Allergy is still burning our nose constantly, inside or outside but could be worse. Mail is caught up. Reading with Boise schedule, tomorrow we hope there is energy to work on our BhVai Essays.

            Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna          

NGD had the allergy so bad, did we mention, that he could not sleep and had to come home from work and collapsed in bed.

What will happen tonight!

       God is great, we are small, but He can hear us if we call!

I am not really sure if OTC smoked tobacco, but Tesla realized when he first met him, that he is a prodigy. He never got any conventional schooling in physics, but Tesla teached him quite much, is my little knowledge of him. I have now read his revelationary book called: Dimensions of Mystery--A message for the twentieth century(1958), it can be found from the net easily. But it is mostly about, what I can tell about God, about Lucifer [as in Satan in "Paradise Lost"?   The Archangel?], and different vibratory and conscious states in between them, and also as name tells us, about different dimensions.

Iridescent bubbles would then, Maharaja, be only for demons, for OTC-X1 craft was controlled by meditation, when outer core goes in sync with inner, rotating different ways (inner clockwise-outer counter clockwise), Ralph Ring tells us that the craft changed to jelly like, so one could put finger in to it, like jelly. So Otis Carr explains this so that, it had own living gravitational field, energy field, which was controlled in his craft with big quartz crystal, and then the craft transversed where they wanted it to go, by thinking that place. And they got samples from that place when they came back.

Ralph Ring was also in the team who made for Jacques-Yves Cousteau, his aqualung. And in some government research, but he couldn't take it, because he was finally said that: we are here to search, not to find. By the chief of the project. Ralph Ring always says that the craft needed nice thinking or meditation, not-nice wouldn't move the craft [o:)

But ok little bit about scalar energy terms, in this very nice report by cia: https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00792R000500240001-6.pdf , there is different options for the equations of scalar energy, in Maxwellian terms, so to say.

The report also says that scalar waves would have some similarities with soliton waves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soliton.

ASA - We went to the site above. It is very interesting. The world is so big. It seems that mainstream physics, science, engineering has developed this one line of electro-magnetic energy but there would seem to be so many others. EME started with Lode Stones, no?  Then they developed it.

Not so much in this craft, but the effect is created when magnetic field goes over Utron. And still Ring says, that this could be nowadays achieved by digital contolling and with no moving parts, but my opinion is, that, it would be too heavy to have so many electric-magnetwindings , hehe :) :). So why not make it like Otis did? :) OTC said: ”The dimension of pressure are straight line; the dimension of motion is curvature. Pressure creates motion and motion creates pressure. Therefore, motion is dimensionally fourth. Finite space is a condition of the field, and the static universe is as real as the kinetic one. From the spawning point of inertia, numerous dimensions beyond the fourth are logically equated — static or dynamic, all matter is available energy— IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT’’

I try to examine little bit more him, at least his book; Dimensions of mystery is very interesting.. Jaya Garuda!

P.S. Eric Dollard made already as a child, a rod with amplifier and earphones and he heard energy lines snapping in the ether when he moved the metal rod horizontally.

This is something I added to my webpage the last time.. may the cool breezes be flowing, like electricity just the same time as brahma-muhurta, on this planet :) , such vast forces, storming through 1,5 hours, before suns photon bombardment. A vast storm of electricity going forward as fast as the sunrise, through ley-lines (which I do not know so well, even though I have seen; tired, something like ether, but those should be measurable already) and through all.! Keppe said well: the most important forces for humanity are those which are most difficult to see with scientific equipment, like the alpha waves in the brain, compared to beta... (For he has fought against Aristotelian view a long time Maharaja, He is also theistic scientist and defends Higher Living Intelligence's and Force's rights, or something like that, Platon.....)

ASA - 6.11PM We have to go to NGD etc.

AGtSP, Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias!

Dear Gurudeva,

I have some news from Arequipa, I comment that yesterday May 11, we have gathered all the devotees and aspirants of you Guru Maharaja, to coordinate your coming to our city. We also prepared a draft of the program of activities.

Is the next:

1. Reception at the Airport on Saturday, July 15, starting at 7:00 am.

2. Arrival at the temple in the Hunter district 8:00 am.

3. Gurupuja from 8:30 to 9:00. HpS - ASA -- Should be Reception not Guru-puja. <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

4. Breakfast from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

5. Break from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

6. Interview with aspiring disciples and other devotees from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m.

7. Take Prasadam from 1:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

8. Break from 2:30 to 3:00.

9. Fellowship meeting with all devotees and friends from 3:00 to 4:30.

10. Ceremony of Initiation from 4:30 to 7:00.

HpS - ASA -- We don't have letters from any ISKCON authorities approving anyone for any intiations, nor even anyone being "Refugiados"!  Who are the devotees?  Your good self?

11. Goura Arati at 7:00 at night.

12. Sunday 16, Mangala Arati at 4:30 in the morning and Srimad Bhagavatam class.

13. Departure to the airport 6:30 in the morning.

14. Flight scheduled to the city of Lima from 8:00 am.

This program is at your disposal, for the changes that you saw convenient.

It should be noted that there is an increase of people interested in Krishna Consciousness in Arequipa, although the temple is a little far away, we are more and more present in the activities and festivities that we perform. We are also using Facebook Messenger to communicate among devotees, our group is called Om namó bhagavaté vasudeva jay.

Indeed, we are now improving in kirtan and increased cooperation among devotees; This translates into emotive congregational songs. Surely, much more is needed to move forward, but there is willingness in most of the devotees, to do things right.

Personally, I feel that I am improving a little more each day in Krishna Consciousness, but it really is very difficult to advance consciously and sincerely. Actually I am very fallen and I alone, I do not have the necessary forces to face Maya, so I ask you to please come to our aid. We need it a lot!

HpS - Here we are!   What is your regular work??

You, also asked me if I followed the ISKCON Discipleship Course, the answer is yes, it was a very important and sobering course, highlighting the figure of Srila Prabhupada as Siksa Guru preeminent, among other subjects.

HpS - O.K!      NOI-3, "In this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we require everyone to rise early in the morning, by four A.M., and attend maṅgala-ārati, or morning worship, then read Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, perform kīrtana, and so forth." In Spanish it say, "pedimos" but in English, "require".   How is your Morning Program now. Up before 10AM?? <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

With regard to who is the best cook, he could hardly respond, there mothers do wonders in the kitchen, and prepare true banquets offered at the lotus feet of Lord Krishna and associates. The Arequipeño is sybarite by tradition.

I bid you farewell, hoping that you will always remain strong and healthy Guru Maharaja.

Your humble servant,

Bhakta Renato.

HpS - ASA -- We wait with great enthusiasm for your answers to our questions. We may have some Professors, Artists, Poets to meet while we are there also. We can all go and meet them.
