6PM

Hare Krsna.   14 rounds. We will chant more on the way to the evening program. We made it to Richmond, Virginia. Had Srila Prabhupada festival last night!!  About 25-devotees here in Subal's home.

Honoring Prasad once a day has been great advance for us. It is austere, but we can handle it and then our health is better, we can see how to eat better because it is simple and clear program.

Now sun has gone 15-minutes ago.  We have to bathe and pack.  Prepare for class, Bh. Sastri, tonight. We answered a ton of letters. Mostly Calendar things.  We also answered 2-Annual Disciple Reports!

In today's letters you can see our Priorities. We wanted to finish ur accounting today, but no time. Tomorrow?!!

O.K. >>>  Bh.Sastri in Divyanama Das' home.

Hare krsna, maharaja; please accept my obeissances.. i havent write in a long time and pasing de time i feel more and more confused about my dutys and less entusiastic about everythin related with my espiritual life and a subject that i want to coment its about the guru...

i feel a little confused and sometimes i think i have to meet other gurus i dont know if it is because of my mind or mi condition but i feel confused about everything im in a relationshiep and part of all this i think its because of that because im not doing the things right i try to and some times i made it but other times no so much... now i dont know i think i have to chant more and read i know more o less my fails and im working on it but i lost comunication with the guru and im sorry because this fallen condition :/  tryin to follow the steps of the previus acaryas YS: Bhaktin F

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna, Mataji. Are you in Mexico???   One foto of your self and friends.

King Satyavrata had a similar problem to you. Read http://www.vedabase.com/es/sb/8/24/46   from Text 46-53.  Krsna is the first Guru, then Srila Prabhupada if you want to accept him as your Acharya, then His disicples on down to the blades of grass, but the above link is a good place to start. Take a few days to read it. Discuss it with some friends. Then write again!  [and take nice Maha-prasad!]

Temples in South Texas

9 years, 5 months ago by aja.govinda in Personal Sadhana Reports

Dearest Guru Maharaj,

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

Thank you for your kind reply. I am again most humbled to have your kind mercy upon me. Regarding whose association I have here, I don't have any devotee association here, apart from hearing Prabhupada's kirtan and japa on the laptop and Prabhupada's Bhagavad-gita in hard copy. But I do really want to visit ISKCON Houston when you come in December to get the most precious association.

HpS - ASA --- Jaya!   We arrive 11.45AM, Wednesday the 7th and leave 7.15AM, Monday the 12th. Have you got accomodations etc???  Text us.

When I first arrived at my current place of work, Texas A&M University - Kingsville, Corpus Christi is the nearest large city, which is about half-an-hour from Kingsville (the small university town of a population of around 20,000). I found a facebook page called Bhakti Yoga Society of Corpus Christi, to which I sent a message, but got no reply. San Antonio is a very large city here, the second largest in all of Texas after Houston, with a population of about 1.47 million people. San Antonio is around 2 hours drive from Kingsville and many of the Indian students go to work part-time jobs there and I also went once. I found the address for ISKCON San Antonio and went there, but it was just a house. I am not sure how to get in contact with devotees in these south Texas cities. It maybe that some devotees were running preaching centres or temples here but left after some time so now there is no active centre. Do you know any devotees active in San Antonio or Corpus Christi?

HpS - We just Texted you M. Guru bhakti's phone number and little bio. She can help!!

I wanted to get a tulasi plant for my evening worship. I have seen a Shri Venkateshvara Swami South Indian Hindu temple, but never found any ISKCON centre or devotees in this area. My parents and I would like to dedicate our lives to starting an ISKCON preaching centre under your guidance. For this, I am really hoping I can get a permanent faculty position somewhere, because my current position is contractual (i.e. temporary).

Your humble servant,

Aja Govinda dasa

HpS - Thank you for this super, super news. Contact Mataji and I think she can put you in touch with good associates.

What are you teaching in the University?   What would you like to publish with NIOS???

Academic Research: Srimad Bhagavatam & Education

9 years, 5 months ago by Gurusevananda in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports
Dear Hanumat Preshak Swami,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
 
A couple of years ago you taught us the Mahabharata & Ramayana course at the Bhaktivedanta College. Since then I have graduated from that BA in Theology and Religious Studies and have started a MA also in Religious Studies in Brazil. My research here centers on the Bhagavata Purana and its contributions to the Theory of Education.
 
I've heard that you wrote on this subject and even organized a book with Indian scholars, but I was unable to get a copy of these texts. I am also trying to formulate a research topic for a PhD thesis, since my MA should be completed in a few months. Would you have any ideas on how to engage the BhP with academic discussions, especially in the field of Education, including bringing it into the visibility of college students, etc?
 
I would be very grateful for any insight you might be willing to share and I hope this endeavor may please Srila Prabhupada and the previous Acharyas.
 
Your servant,
Gurusevananda dasa.
 
HpS - Jaya Prabhu, Welcome to the ASA Blog.  Of course, our basic world is at ww.jayarama.us.     If you go to the Archives you will see two files there that were our presentation on Educational Philosophy for the ISKCON Radhadesa Meeting a few years ago. One link is: http://www.jayarama.us/archives/MED-6May.docx
The next one is the PPTX that we used. We have advanced the ideas more since then and the Ministry is supposed to be publishing a book with our idea, Rasa-mandala, M. Urmilla and Bhurijana etc.
That is not done.
Look at our recent work with the National Library in Peru on YouTube with the Key word search of "Psychology and the Sacred 2016".
Please tell us if we can be of more specific help to you.
You can call us at +1 209 505-3219
