Letters to the editor

Abhirama Das,
I have tried to edit the translation of Cecilia's article but after about five paragraphs I see that it will not be possible. The current translation is terrible. Is her paper clear in Spanish? It appears to us that even in Spanish it may not be easily understood.
Is there someone we can pay to translate it. They should translate one page as a sample.
==============================

Abhirama Das,
He tratado de editar la traducción del artículo de Cecilia, pero después de alrededor de cinco párrafos veo que no va a ser possible. The traducción actual es terrible. Es su papel claro en español? Nos parece que, incluso en español no puede entenderse fácilmente.
¿Hay alguien que podemos rendir a traducirlo? Ellos deben traducir una página como una muestra.

HPS - Thank you. We should not be concerned with material happiness and distress, no? Life and death. We should stick to our service, in this world and also beyond this world. This we can see that any circumstance is a gift to help us! Use it.

       Oink!   and  Whoof!       
        Whoop!  and Neigh!       
All the animals with Krsna, play.

Now it's 3.38PM.

HAre Krsna!

Here is Abstract for our presentation January ~7th atg Bhagavatam Symposium organized by K. Ksetra Swami and Radhika ramana Das at Madras University.

=============================================

ABSTRACT

IRON HORSES AND TALKING WIRES
Teaching Srimad Bhagavatam in the Industrialized World.

Hanumatpresaka Swami (Professor Huber Hutchin Robinson)
ISKCON – North American Institute for Oriental and Classical Studies

Presenter has been studying and teaching Srimad Bhagavatam in the industrialized world in North and South America, Europe and India for over 40-years. This has included programs with Nobel Laureates, ISKCON Temples, Universities, Museums and many others. He will outline three major areas where the message of the Bhagavata has been successfully introduced amongst the highly analytical, mechanized and scientific people of these worlds.

First is the area of Science and the Bhagavata. Here there has been colossal work for many years. The current ripened fruit has been in developing relations with the community of psychologists and scholars who are followers of Dr. Carl Gustav Jung. Jung appreciated Indian mysticism greatly but was also very concerned how to translate these things into a format comprehensible and useful to science. We just finished an intense, international symposium on “Psychology and the Sacred” in Lima, Peru and are scheduled for bigger events of this type in 2017 and 2018. Along with this a journal “Solaris” is being published, and along with other academics presenter is working on a very serious presentation of the Sankhya of Lord Kapila and others in the Bhagavata that will allow practical realization of Bhagavata Sankhya in the scientific world.

Second has been the Approach Through Drama. Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s presentation of the Bhagavata culture as broadcast by our Acharya, Srila Rupa Goswami, especially through his Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu is Gandhava Veda: Music, Dance, Drama leading to ultimate realization of Krsna. This educational approach has been presented using Prof, David Haberman’s standard translations and annotations of the BRS which include the history of Rasa and theater from Bharata Muni to Abhinava Gupta, to Emperor Bhoja, to Sri Rupa Goswami. This in turn can be related with great clarity to a large Western audience through the Western theater tradition of Aristotle, Stanislavsky and Viola Spolin.

Third and finally, Academic Study of the Bhagavata through structured classes on a global basis using direct and distance education techniques. The diplomas given for these studies include Bhakti-vaibhava for Cantos 1-6 and Bhakti-vedanta for Cantos 7-12. Presenter will give a brief overview of this formal academic study and then a specific sample in the form of the natural analysis that students can learn of the very well-formed structure of the Bhagavata.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las glorias a Su Santidad Hanumat Presaka Swami!!

Hare Krsna, Maharaja acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias. Espero que se encuentre bien y tranquilo. ¿Qué tal el itinerario de clases estos días?

HpS - ASA --- Cada dia, NOD en FMP on line. Miercoles BG por la tarde (Internet), Jueves SB Hawaii (Internet),  Viernes Casa de NGD (Viva), Sabado manana - Bhakti Vaibhava y tarde LOB etc Espanyol (internet).

Disculpe la demora. Me encuentro mejor, ahora en actividades más tranquilas, fundida en los festivales divertida y feliz ¿ qué tal paso Radhastami?

ASA - Oink!!!

Un néctar acá en México tomando asociación de SS Navayogendra Swami. Mis actividades por el momento son en su mayoría dentro del templo, no he hecho más Sankirtan que en Harinama y programas de predica y Food for Life a veces los horarios no me lo permiten, debido a esto he tenido mucha dificultad para hacer mis rondas diariamente como debe de ser. ¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto?

ASA - Busca asociacion. Un companero. Hora de Japa con los devotos en el Templo!!

De igual manera casi no estoy en las clases de Srimad Bhagavatam por la mañana.

ASA - Lea los textos del clase y pregunta de los asistentes cual era el contenido de la discussion

Por los demás, los devotos se encuentran en general bien, de repente resfriados pero ocupados en diferentes servicios y sankirtan viajero. El líder es el Prabhu Jayadeva Hari. Muchas gracias, por el consejo mi relación con las hermanas de ashrama está mejorando, saldremos y haremos actividades juntas cómo ir a museos. Espero porfavor pueda enviarme muchas bendiciones para seguir en el servicio estoy empezando a encontrar  un néctar en cada actividad ¿a qué se debe? Pienso en usted y en qué manera puedo servir mejor a todos. 

Me despido sin más. 

Su aspirante a sirviente Bhaktin Diana Karla

HpS - Claro, tiene que aprender la importancia de de programa por la manyana completa, rondas, principios. Entonces va a seguir, y entonces puede discriminar mas detalles de su servicio en esta vida (y despues eterno).   Buena suerte!!!

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

PAMHO

I hope this meets U in really good health.

Brother Ass - AGTSP paoho.  We have a little bit of a stomach ache. Our eyes hurt, the screen is too much. We are exhausted, but our body is running well on a gross level and even feeling subtle life waking up within.

16 R ok they can be better rounds

HpS - We are very alone here in Tennesse and have to struggle to get our rounds done, but they are pretty good, useful.

4P OK

HpS - Sometimes we read classical stories that include romance from ladies and gentlemen as a side issue. It gives us knowledge of the material world and how to talk to people.

FMP OK

Reading I need a lot of improvement here ¡¡¡ 

I have been better and better.. Radhastami was incredible, I was completely detached I just wanted to be there and try to do some service, but at 4:15pm I performed the puja to RMV, then before the abhishek I was helping all the things .. then Gaura Gadadhara asked me to help her.. and we lead the abhishek...  in Gaura artik the new head pujari asked me please do the puja for Sita Rama  and I ohh wow, then I helped to put Sita Ram pijamas... It was an amazing day lots of mercy ¡¡¡¡ I feel so so good nevertheless at the end of the day I felt mistreated for someone but it was also a HUGE MERCY due to I felt liberated.. I mean I understood that as my coach says to me.. people treat U the way U allow them.. and I said yes... yes.. I realized that in that night  I felt so good and I said not anymore.. HEALTHY LIMITS 

I remember that U always said the devotee is always happy being depressed is offensive ¡¡¡¡ the vision of life has changed a lot,  I do not blame others, I am not always complaining or teasing but I do not allow that others mistreated me, because I treat myself good ¡¡¡ maha mantra, good diet and association uf I can write for hours¡¡¡¡

HpS - How can people mistreat you? You are not that body. You are little cute angel from Goloka. Maybe a potatoe in Goloka or a monkey or... They are angry at something they are projecting on you. It is  in their heart, the hate. Help them have and end to the hate if you can.

Bless the discomfort that takes you to your certainty¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ that is the phrase that my coach repeats to me again and again ¡¡¡¡ I felt blessed by Srimati Radharani ¡¡¡ she always in one way or another reveals me things and call me crazy but in my heart I know that is true.

On Saturday I went to schell and  I met my yoga instructor that I met before in another center and again ¡¡ wow the universe is telling me something... He has been trained by Prema vikasa Prabhu  he is a good person so in october I am going to start yoga there... 

My mom is vegan now, she is not going to surgery she does not want that, she has the strong conviction that if she keeps her diet this tumor may go away ¡¡ My sister and I respect that, she is not depressed nor sad or angry she feels happy, she is very admirable two hips surgery , she walks normal now without her stick and now this illness, but she is GOOD¡¡¡  we have an organic diet well at least my mom and me.. my sister is reluctant.. I am reducing the chocolates.. and eating organic food, not just food... toothpaste, etc, fashion clothes not yet jeje

I feel that I am in the right path now,being a teacher, trying to teach by example discovering myself, not depressed. And now I feel grateful I have lots of things of being grateful for ¡¡¡

we really like our BS class with Trivikrama das from chile, he is the most responsible ¡¡¡ 

Regarding  my last letter, M Isvari told me to write to U about the Bhakti Sastri manegment, then I read your response and U asked her that P Jiva and I write to U, but U did not say what we need to write I do not know if we need a resume or what ??

HpS - In NIMSAR Report we said that we will write to Bh. Rupa Das with copy to you two and M. Rohini. 

Well that's it, we feel good,.  thanks to your inspiration, shelter

Looking forward to see U again in person ¡¡¡¡

your useless daughter 

Candramukhi dd

HpS - Thank you very, very, very much for letting us all share your journey. In the end you can be known with so many others as Santa Candri of Lima. You can have a little statue and pigeons can come and sit on your head.  You have to write a couple of books.  What will they be?
