Navi Mumbai.
Hare Hare, Hare Krsna!!!
We are in Navi Mumbai. The area is Mumbai and Navi mumbai, then all kinds of subdivision. If we want we can re-localize society in the village, country and things can be quite nice. There can be village crafts, musical instrument makers, village, back-yard, foundery casting Kartals, scissors etc. Yes there can be televisions, Srila Prabhupada says, 2-3 dozen for the whole world.

We just smashed our foot against the leg-foot of the bed in the the middle of the side of the bed for the third time!   It is like where it should not be. This time we scraped by a piece of skin the size of a big match head. On the Vraja-mandala-parikrama it was happening all the time, foot scrapes, punctures. We learned to ignore them. Thoughts of illicit sex will trail us to the point of death because of the birth we have taken, but if we engage in devotional service they won't bother us.

The India Tour continue. Here it is 87% local temple programs. Was the same in Pune, but here we have the broader association of Rama-giri-dhari Das x MOE, Goloka Education. The new ISKCON temple here is growing 8-stories tall by 10 acres fat!  Now we are going to Rathayatra. Where ever we go people have a loud Kirtan and garland to greet us and then special seat of honor. They we have to say something extraordinary. The only justification for all this we can assume is that Srila Prabhupada has made a silk purse out of a sow's ear.   NIOS - DSB - Psychology and the Sacred work continues.

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

We started our regular Srimad Bhagavatam review classes here at Boise Temple. Following is the summary of Introduction, preface, 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 as discussed last Sunday.

Introduction and Preface:

• Srila Prabhupada's  purports are relevant for anybody at anytime.
• Srimad Bhagavatam is the spiritual communism.
• Material scientists are unsuccessful in finding ultimate truth
• Srimad Bhagavatam has to be read sequentially.
• This is the only scripture that talks about absolute truth right from page 1.
• Book bhagavatam should be understood with the help of person Bhagavatam (Lord Chaitanya)

Text 1:

• Srila Prabhupada elaborates on [meaning the word] Vasudeva.
• Vasudeva is the Cause of all causes
• Srimad bhagavatam is the commentary on Vedanta sutra
• Origin of creation is also discussed in the purport.
• Matsya Purana also refers to Srimad Bhagavatam. So Srimad Bhagavatam is older than Matsya Purana.
   

Text 2:

• First 2 slokas are 30% of the entire chapter.
• Srimad Bhagavatam starts where Bhagavad-gita ends. Reject all material religions.

Thank you,

Your servant,

Sundari Radhika dd.

HpS - We sent our thoughts about Verses 3-7 and posted them here. We, HPS, Monkey/Piggy, are so much dulled by association with matter that our intelligence is not alive to the SB so much. This Sanga will change this.

Hare Krishna Gurudev

Por favor acepte Mis humildes reverencias a Sus Pies de loto

Toda Gloria a Srila Prabhupada

El motivo de Urgente es por que El Prabhu Lomasha quiere hablar con Usted  de alguna manera , por skipe o whats app u otra posibilidad, pienso que es por asuntos familiares con su hijo

a Su servicio Adi Yajña Das

HPS - Es casi impossible para nosotros mientras estamos viajando. Primero el tiene que enviar por parte de otro o su misma una explicacion general de lo que quiere hablar. Es casi cierto que no podemos contribuir consejo particular a el por que no conocemos la situacion particular!

ISKCON - Pune

Hare Krsna!    AgtSP.    Braja visit was very refreshing. We were able to do everything properly in the worship of Braja and then went to Delhi for the night - BG class for 1-1/2 hours. To the airport at 7AM. Flight delayed for 1-1/2 hours for THICK fog. Arrived here at the small, old, sweet smelling Temple, bath, Prasadam (after 22-hours) and then Brahmacari class = about 65-b'caris, devotees, 3.30-4.45PM. Now a little more fruit and sweets and our head-ache is gone and we will rest (do light work) until Arati at 6.45PM. At 7.30PM Radhe-Shyama comes from the New Big Temple for a visit. We feel bad that he is coming to us and not us to him!!!

He has hundreds of disciples, students. He started with nothing and built an entire empire based on education.

While waiting for the flight we answered the excellent, "URGENT", mail and did our BhSastri and SB for the week reading. Only thing failing is doing some work with Dr. Samaresh.

Prahlada Nrsmha Das from this Blog called. We will see him soon.

O.K. Rest our eyes and brains.

We hope your lives are as exciting and successfull as ours. Much more so!   You are more sincere than we.

Next, is a preview of the ´academic sankirtana´ for June of this year:

Final reflections With guest speakers.

Please, anybody who may want to give their suggestions, write to [email protected].  Thank you very much. Hare Krishna!!

ASA - It seems very weak unless the speakers have lots of chance to develop their dialog on the topics before the public presentations in June!

Of course, we have been very busy during this travel, but it is certainly related!  We should also be able to include a very strong presentation from Indians in the above events, and the individual dialogs from all the contacts we are making. Also, we can work on the content of the next Solaris.
We hope to have more of a report in the next few days!!!
