Querido Gurudeva, como siempre lo extrañamos, aquí entre calor y humedad, sin agua y huico de Chosica, estamos saliendo pocas horas a distribuir libros con Mitravinda y una bhaktina a buses y retomamos nuestro servicio en Wilson. Después de una conversación con la administración de Wilson quedamos en muy buenos términos. Hablamos con P. Deva Deva encargado de educación e invitó a NIMSAR a colaborar con el INSTITUTO DE ESTUDIOS VAISNAVAS BHAKTIVEDANTA, en el templo de Wilson, habrá una sala destinada a dictar BS, Pada Padma, etc. los miembros que deseen de NIMSAR dictarán a mediados de Febrero una vez por semana, y las autoridades están de acuerdo incluso con  nuestros precios. Entonces es algo muy favorable. NIMSAR debe continuar contestando este acuerdo con Wilson.

Por otro lado, tuve una muy buena conversación con madre Isvari, y pude entender sus necesidades y ella se tomara un tiempo, es mamá y también se está incorporando al servicio en wilson, e igual quedó como colaboradora de NIMSAR, y como siempre se fajo en año pasado en su servicio a NIMSAR, desde que la conocí ella siempre da todo de sí misma.

Gurudeva Ud. nos dio un hermoso regalo NIMSAR, por ello es muy preciado y es una extensión de la predica de Ud. y en lo que a mí respecta, ni he renunciado y estoy tratando de rectificar, entender el comportamiento de los miembros, sus necesidades y siempre esforzarme por mejorar como devota. Me sorprende la medida al estilo del chino de LAD, que esperamos sea propia del calor y huico del momento, pensamos que es temporal, y ansiamos el regreso del Jedi/s. Entonces, la función debe continuar, también en febrero continuamos enseñando BS on line. 

Algo que hay que tener en cuenta es que el asesor y principal cabeza de NIMSAR es Ud. y la última palabra la tiene Ud. así que continuamos nuestro servicio a NIMSAR- ASA- HpS. Y cuando venga a Perú, otros miembros de NIMSAR Madre Rohini y M Ananga hablaran con Ud. sobre la administración de los exámenes, que seguro pueden continuar con el nuevo examinador, con la venia de Ud., si ellas desean.

Mil disculpas, por nuestras ofensas, con su ayuda y la de los devotos lo lograremos. Por favor denos sus bendiciones para continuar sirviéndolo con humildad y colaboración.

Esperamos su arritmia y salud en general mejore y el santo dham lo proteja.

Dear Gurudeva, as we always miss, here between hot and humid, without water and Chosica hual, we are leaving a few hours to distribute books with Mitra and a bhaktina to buses and we resume our service in Wilson. After a conversation with the Wilson administration we were on very good terms. We speak with Fr. Deva Deva in charge of education and I invite NIMSAR to collaborate with the VAISNAVAS BHAKTIVEDANTA INSTITUTE OF STUDIES, in the temple of Wilson, there will be a room destined to dictate BS, Pada Padma, etc. Members wishing to NIMSAR will dictate in mid-February once a week, and authorities agree even with our prices. Then it is very favorable. NIMSAR must continue to respond to this agreement with Wilson.

On the other hand, I had a very good conversation with mother Isvari, and I could understand her needs and she would take time, she is a mom and she is also joining the service in Wilson, and she stayed as a NIMSAR collaborator, Last year in her service to NIMSAR, since I met her she always gives everything of herself.

Gurudeva You gave us a beautiful NIMSAR gift, so it is very precious and is an extension of your preaching and as far as I am concerned, I have not given up and I am trying to rectify, understand the behavior of the members, their Needs and always strive to improve as a devotee. I am surprised by the Chinese style of LAD, which we hope is typical of the heat and air of the moment, we think it is temporary, and we look forward to the return of the Jedi / s. Then, the function must continue, also in February we continue to teach BS on line.

Something that must be taken into account that the adviser and main head of NIMSAR is you and the last word you have it so we continue our service to NIMSAR-ASA-HpS. And when you come to Peru, other members of NIMSAR Mother Rohini and M Ananga will talk with you about the administration of the exams, which they can safely continue with the new examiner, with your permission, if they wish.

A thousand apologies, for our offenses, with your help and that of the devotees we will succeed. Please give us your blessings to continue to serve you with humility and collaboration.

We hope your arrhythmia and overall health will improve and the holy dham will protect you.

HPS - Hare Krsna. We can't work out details. If NIMSAR is to run then 1. We must have a President, Secretary/Treasurer and report to ASA Blog each Ekadasi.

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaj, Pamho, AGTSP!

After many days of meditation I, we, decided to not work as a group (NIMSAR) any longer. Painful decision, but realistic.

It was a good name, we did good things together, gained some reputacion, etc, but continuos desagreements were holding back our development.  

It was too much. I tried, believe me, I tried really hard. But enough is enough.

I've always have your injuctions in my heart regarding this topics. I took all them into consideration. 

However, I'll continue my job as a teacher. We have to work on details, etc. 

If you allow me I can teach with your study guides as member of ASA. I have a nice relatonship with my authorities in Chosica and they agreed to work with me.

My idea is to help Junta Nacional to be again examination center. I'll do my best to work  with authorities in a nice relationship. I think that Krishna wants that, a healthy cooperative work. I was never happy with the idea to work only through NIMSAR cause is a hazel (hassle) working with the administration.

The easy way out is "to hell with all this. I can work in a nice school for at least $1000  or $1,500 a month"

But no, I want to work for Prabhupada as much as I can. Giving all my time possible. Having the chance to manage muy time as I desire.

I don't know. I'm probably wrong.

Well, that's for now.

Please, forgive me.

I couldn't do much about this.

your servant

ASA - Commando -- Seems cool to us. Let us hear what your determination is and the determination of your partner soon. 

.... has now become a Sunday morning Workshop with the Boise Temple as announced below:

Hare Krishna Prabhus and Matajis:

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Thanks to Hanuman Swami's efforts and desire that New Biharvan devotees associate together and review Srimad Bhagavatam at least once a week, some of us have agreed to meet at 11:15 AM on Sundays to do the same. This will change the Sunday feast schedule slightly and as Hanuman Swami had pointed out it will in fact the feast even more meaningful and joyous. Please see the new schedule below and join us for some nice sangha:

Sunday feast schedule:
    11:00 AM         Srila Prabhupada Guru Puja and kirtan
    11:15 AM        Srimad Bhagavatam review - 30 minutes
    11:45 AM         Sunday Feast class (BG or other topical Krishna Katha)
    12:30 PM          AArti and Nrsimha Prayers
    1:00  PM          Announcements
    1:15  PM          Feast

The plan is to take turns (by initiated devotees) to do Guru Puja, kirtan, SB review and the feast lecture.

Murari Prabhu and Mother Kamagyatri will make sure that Guru Puja aarti plate etc. is ready and will be back up for doing the Guru Puja. Cleanup of the plate after the AArti will be done by whoever is doing the AArti. For Guru Puja, review, kirtan and feast lecture proper devotee attire is required 

For this coming Sunday the 29th, I am proposing:

Srinivas Prabhu to do the Guru Puja

Anantarupa das to do the SB review. I would like to start the review and lead the discussion with SB from the beginning 1.1.1 - thru 1.1.5. 

Mother Acyuta to give the feast lecture.

Krishna is very happy when devotees get together, specially when it is the desire of His dear devotees such as HH Hanuman Swami; please join us. Also feel free to invite others; the invitees can try out but ultimately they should be willing to come regularly. The sangha (until 11:45) is for regular attendance of like minded devotees with desire to taste SB nectar and association of devotees. Please let me know if you plan to attend

ASA - What percentage of the First Chapter do the first two verses represent?

Hare Krsna BELOVED Gurudeva

AGTSP

PAMHO

Hope this meets U with good health!!!

Thank U for posting your activities here. We check this blog after our rounds everyday.

Well regarding NIMSAR. Yes the Lad and the majority of us thought that this was the best decision. We have worked for years trying to get along but it was impossible..  We can face challenges but without working as a team is impossible. I have good communication with Lad he will write to U explaining the details soon.

But now basically I want to take shelter in ASA as U said then if we can not work together we can work with ASA.. So I have 2 students in chile that want to take Bhakti Sastri with me.. So how can I teach to them and bring them support. I mean they will ask for a certification. I do not want to teach in the temple.I prefer just to give Bg and SB classes that's it. Another question may I use your material? I mean your study guides TPP. When I teach I learn more. Please guide me. What should I do. Because the classes may start in February. Please also tell me in which way I may be useful in ASA. I just distribuited one Light of the Bhagavata and one BG in English I am in wilson. Now I am going to the beach to relax. Thank U Your useless servant Candramukhi dd

HpS - ASA -- We are typing on the back of a luggage cart in the Delhi Airport. Little bit of arythmia. Waiting for our luggage.

To give certificate you have to have connection with an authorizied center. ASA is not authorized and really neither is Peru right now.

We can think more about how to go ahead in the near future. We are getting a view of a lot of other centers now.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP PAMHO

SO sorry for the delay I was a little confused about if I need to send a report or wait that  lad (Lad) does

Well straight to the point !!! Even if we try to work together as a group, still we have another [other] visions, targets and different modes on how we work, etc plus all the pressure from external people..... pfff we are seriously thinking in DISSOLVE NIMSAR and create other institution.

Our desire is to continue working in education, is the only way to learn

Thank U for iur patience and support

This is my last report as secretary. Lad told me to put that.... Personally I think that dissolve is the best option and we will back  from the ashes. With rules that all of us obey we need to work a lot in our ego. 

Trying to be useful

Candramukhi dd

H. P. Swami - ASA -- Hare Krsna. "Last Report" - Does this mean that you are resigning as Secretary? Isvari Devi Dasi was sending the reports each Ekadasi, not the LAD. Seems that NIMSAR is a fine name for an ASA Branch in Peru, but just need to work on the: Who am I, Who are we, phase of things. Then Plans. If plans based upon personal relations require and institution like NIMSAR, if not, then yes, we can put NIMSAR on suspension.

Books are the basis. The heart of any educational institution is its library. What books are your basis?

HPSwami is based upon: NOI, LOB, TLC, Song Book and how these lead to the Bhaktivedanta Library, specifically Pada-padma. Then we are reaching out to C. G. Jung's books and other World Classical Literature.

What books are the basis of your study and teaching and preaching???

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, we had a meeting with Temple authority and Temple authority is re-scheduling all the events (as there
    will be 3 Maharaj during your visit.)

    we will have another meeting on January 27, 2017 then picture will be clear.

    while, we have already conveyed your message about ISKCON Education.
    ( Daivi Varna Ashrama Education as Pre, Primary, Secondary and University education, Philosophy of Education,
      Sastric Education all for the purpose of Sankirtan. Several presentations in the morning,
      workshops in the after noon and cultural presentations in the evening. Light of the Bhagavata Symposium,
      Pschology and the Sacred )

    Once we have a clear picture of your events, then update you.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Very nice. We can hear from and speak to other Sannyasis.
