PAMHO AGTSP

Just checking in with you about Australia in October. Last I heard from you was 18 Oct - 1 Nov -- Australia (2 weeks).

Do you have any specific engagements arranged in Australia for example meeting with scholars? If so we can arrange your tour around them. 2 weeks so maybe 1 week up north (Brisbane - Murwillumbah) and 1 week down south (Sydney -Melbourne)? 

On a side note are you familiar with the work of Dr Jordan B Peterson? He is a clinical psychologist and a professor at the University of Toronto. Carl Yung is a strong influence for him. He does kind of Psychology and the Scared presentations but using the Bible stories.

HpS - AgtSP Paoho. We have been so anxious to talk with you all. If you have been following the DTC et you can see that we are struggling with a ton of different service demands: Friends, family, ISKCON, Seattle conference, Peru conferences, NIOS fund raising.

Old age.

How are you?

Put "URGENT" in the subject field for you answer.

We arrive India like 27th September and then leave November 8th. We must spend a few days at the GBC meeting 9-17th Oct, Kolkatta is available after 2nd October (end of Durga puja). Considering all the other work, 10-days in Oz seems the proper balance.

Are there any days that are better for you or worse or forbidden for us to visit Oz. We have no specific people to visit right now, but we will continue to look.

Please give us your essential intelligence in these matters as soon as possible and then we can start to book tickets and fix other dates in India.

HARE KRISHNA 

AGTSP! 

PAMHO!

Send again my question. Sorry for my last long letter.

-  I've been summoned to be part in Congregational Development Committee. Gurudev, do you authorize me to do this service?  What do you think? I cannot do it without your blessings. 

Thanks for your time!

HpS - ASA --- AgtSP...  Paoho.  Thank you for shorter letter. We want to answer but our time and ability are extremely limited.

It seems like it would be O.K. to us. What could be the problem?

We always suggest: Put devotional relations before Vaisnava relations. Meaning, we can argue about things, but don't forget that we are all devotees, NOI 5, and that we all join the Gaura arati as equals at the end of the day.

Hare Krsna!

News - Urgent.

All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Krishna
All Glories to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swmai Prabhupada
All Glories to you
All glories to devotees.
Please accept my humble obeisances to your holy lotus feet, my shelter.

Dear Guru Maharaja.
Hope your energy is high and increasing.
my rounds are improving. My husband and I are making arranges to wake up early and complete the most possible number of rounds, before go to job. We are implementing a shortly Mangala Aratik. Please, please, please give us your blessings to can maintain it and to be always inspirated and engaged in devotional service.
I beginning (deeping) to realize the hardness of material world, this lastest times are showing me how hard and deep it can be. I’m learning MATERIAL WORLD, NO MERCY…

HpS - Hare Krishna. Send again shorter if it is urgent. Traveling we are drowning in interviews and classes and meetings!

Hare Krishna. Thank you. See you as soon!

-       My parents are getting old and it require my time and attention. And my internal process to accept it.
-       Gandharvika Mataji  (wife of Maha Hari Das Temple President), leave the body in 3 months. Leaving a 10 years son.
Trying to see each thing to learn.


Topics in my mind:
-       Administration vs bhakti? Why administration is a service that has many complications? Why the devotees who make this service are always criticized? Why sometimes it look like 2 gangs (hahaha) , who love, who hate, who are doing the correct, what is correct? and, Why sometimes we are so focus on our service and cannot see anything beyond that?
-       How can we take care of somebody, who doesn't want to be cared?
-       How I can be a good association?


Service News>
- Keep on with Ratha Yatra committee (5th year). Having meeting once a week.
- I've been summoned to be part in Congregational Development Committee. Gurudev, do you authorize me to do this service? wait for your answer.
- Always I can, go to do Kirtan with newones of Yoga Schools, they invite to me to sing. Chanting Maha Mantra and preaching.
- My Kirtan program stop, since began of the year, but the next month we want to start again once each 2 months.

Dear Gurudeva I know you will be in Chile, I think I will not go, but thanks for coming to South America always enlighten us with your brightness to get out from the ignorance. Hope someday can please you through my service in Prabhupada's mission.

9.35 AM

Hare Krsna!

AGTSP   paoho. Have had three catastophies to deal with this morning, plus intense regular program. We will leave Auburn to Sacramento to visit Prof. Little of the University of California at 10AM.   We have to pack.  We have 14/18 rounds done. We have some suspicious chest pains. We had our one meal a day as breakfast.

We checked the Inbox and there are no Urgent letters to be dealt with.

O.K.  Let's pack, and Tweet.

Psych & Sacred $$$

Hare Krishna Gurudeva and Nitaygaurasundara prabhu, dandavats pranams, 
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
 
Firstly, I want to thank you very much for the fact that you give me an occupation in Seva, because of my adventurous nature, now I would be immersed in some fruitive activity, as Mayor or Congressman (according to my astral chart in this life I have average fame), but by mercy of GURUDEVA I am now on the path of Bhakti.
In January of this year we received from NIOS $ 800 dollars which have been used as follows:
1. Secretarial work (150 per month, January, February, March, April and May): $ 750.00
2. Transportation, printing copies and photocopies, for management with the National Library for this event 2017and next year: $ 50.
 
An important point that I want to mention is that this work of manager and organizer absorbs a lot of time, so I have had to stop working in some cases, weeks, this I say not as a reproach, but now my economy has decreased (In general the whole economy in Peru has been reduced by Huaycos and natural disasters). Because if it were not so I would also make an economic contribution to this valuable sankirtana.
 
Hare Krishna, please excuse my errors and offenses, your servant, Abhirama Thakura dasa.
 
HpS - ASA -- Thank you very much.  The amount of time that you have had to spend with Ramon, Migue, Oscar, Victor, Ambassador, National Library... ... .. .   Is incredible. We hope that we can take advantage of this effort.
We wrote to Palika Devi Dasi and Caturatma Das to give $900 to you, Sattva, everyone, for the rest of the investment in Psych and the Sacred 2107 as mentioned in your earlier budget proposal. NGD says that it appears very reasonable to him and then I can bring the other $600 when we travel to Peru.

Its very urgent regarding use of Microsoft Word & PowerPoint

While reading your emails today (to others) on your blog http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/letters,

I came to know that you want Microsoft Word & Powerpoint for making presentations. Is it managed for you? If not then you can use https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/ (or search in Google: Google Docs). It is an online version & both Microsoft Word & Powerpoint are available in it. It is as same as Microsoft Powerpoint, user-friendly.

I wish I could have been there to serve you...

If I have disturbed you then please forgive me.

Your's foolish and fallen Servent,

Bishambhar Gauranga Das 

HpS - Thank you very much. We will remember this, but we got it here!!
