Thoughts on Sannyasa and GBC

Hare Krsna!

AGTSP

Esteemed GBC Strategic Planning Team,
Paoho....   Thank you for the following letter and invitation. Let us take this moment to organize and express our thoughts on these topics in a manner that we can also circulate for the criticism of others also.

We attended the GSG Sanga which was in 2015 as I remember. We have also attended the last two ILS and one or two other SPT meetings. Administratively we are now a Member of the Latin American Regional GBC, the Executive Committee of the Ministry of Education, have been Temple President for three ISKCON Temples, worked for years with the large scale programs of the Bhaktivedanta Institute and now are acting in our best capacity as Advisor, Administator and Foot soldier for NIOS (North American Institute for Oriental and Classical Studies) which is graced with Tamohara Das as our GBC and Nitai-gaurasundara Das as our President. NGD is Director of a Psychiatric hospital here in Tennessee and his brother is currently President of the nation-wide Indian Lawyers Association.
So . . . we have been involved in the management aspect of ISKCON.

NIOS organized a program jointly with the Indian National Museum on "The Contribution of of Ancient India to Making a Better World". It was innaugurated by Mukundakam Sharma, former Justice of Supreme Court of India and two former Governors of West Bengal. Now NIOS is organizing a very delightful and taxing International Seminar on "Psychology and the Sacred" with the National Library in Peru.

Just writing about this is exhausting.

We have the dates blocked on our Calendar [Feb 6-9] . Of course we can't come to India just for this three day event, but it could fit in with other travel.

In general we feel that ISKCON has become too much advanced in the mode of passion. We also feel that our feelings and opinions are certainly not perfect and want to express them as much for criticism as well as appreciation. One day during the remembered 2015 GSG Sanga the GBC Members were not present and the meetings were amongst Sannyasis who had not much or no GBC administrative posts. The idea that the GBC should look to its Sannyasa community as its source of protection, strategic leadership and ultimate spiritual authority was expressed by several Sannyasis present with citations from Buddhist history etc. Of course, our ISKCON Sannyasa community may not be capable of doing their role properly, but the theory and ideal should be kept and considered the most essential focus of the GBC to develop, no?

When we were discussing this one of the most well know of the Sanga commented that this was all true but if you expressed these ideas publicly then you would be marginalized politically.

In the written evaluations of the meetings requested the following day, I suggested that there was great necessity for more chance for the administratively uninvolved Sannyasis to meet and try to clarify their ideas about their Ashrama and its relation to GBC and Guru tattva, but there was no more meeting scheduled for this. Hare Krsna...

Of course, there are other efforts along these lines with the Sannyasa Ministry but in conversation with them and others, we feel that is a very key aspect of having an effective GBC, Sannyasi, Guru Sanga in 2017.

Awaiting your opinions for our consideration and to carry to our friends at this corner of ISKCON.

Thank you so much for the work you are doing. Practically speaking we see almost no one else doing it.
Your rather fallen servant,
Hanumatpresaka Swami

Por supuesto siempre anhelamos tener Su asociación más tiempo. 

Podemos conseguir un lugar de alojamiento muy cerca del aeropuerto.

Agradecemos mucho esta consideración hacia nosotros. 

REPORTE DE PRENDAS PERUANAS 
En la noche de Sri Nityananda Trayodasi, con el permiso y bendiciones de las autoridades del Templo, se hizo una subasta con las 13 prendas que Ud. envió. 
Con la entusiasta dirección de subasta de parte de Vrajendra Kumara das, la contabilidad de Karuna sakti dd y por supuesto las bendiciones de Usted y todos los vaisnavas, se logró colectar 4,470 pesos mexicanos, equivalente a 846,24 soles, que ya fueron enviados a Sus Señorías Radha Madana Vihari. 

El día de ayer, los  devotos de Perú, enviaron turrones Govinda para las autoridades del templo de México con prabhu Tattva vit.  

Muchas gracias querido Gurumaharaja! 
Por favor perdone nuestras ofensas. 

Su siempre y eterna aspirante a sirviente.
Asta Sakhi dd. 


Adjunto el comprobante de recibido de Perú, me advirtieron no publicar en las redes sociales por cuestiones de impuestos. 

HpS ASA - Hare Krsna! Thank you 1,000,000 tones for your letter. I hope on Braja we can spend eternity together serving Radha Krsna and the eight principle Gopis.

Pujaris should have sent DVDs of Temple.

I hope doesn't take 2-hours to get through Immigration on 13-th July.

We can all go to Houston for a week or two after that?

How is the Manasa et al?

Viviendo la enseñanza

HK PAOHO Querido Gurudeva  caundo lo escucho pareciera que su salud es buena ojalá sea así, hemos estado corriendo de un lado a otro, es por eso que no nos enteramos que estaba dando clases en las noches, he tenido caidas no burdas pero si sutiles, mucha lectura renacentista tiene consecuencias, no vemos televisión, pero de internet nos conectamos con el mundo y tambien nos contaminamos, en fin estamos tratando de mejorar, estamos comiendo a deshoras, gordos no, pero si más flacos, y trataremos de equilibrarnos.

De lunes a viernes estamos dando clases en colegios ahora nos toca geografía, ojala nos vaya bien, en las tardes estamos con niños de 7 años, me agrada su dulzura, pureza  y sinceridad, sabados sankirtaneando, hoy poco sankirtana y salio un Gita, y volvemos a dar clases BS on line. y el domingo pujari.  

La novedad y para lo cual le escribimos es comunicarle que estamos abriendo una escuela dominical el proximo mes, para los pequeños en chosica, catequesis en conciencia de Krsna, por favor sus bendiciones para tener exito en esta aventura. ¿Alguna recomendación?

NIMSAR también inicia un curso de medicina integrativa con P. Ramacandra, quisiera ser menos floja con mis lecturas tener mas ingresos, este año al parecer trabajaremos por amor a la enseñanza y no por el oro.

Estamos a la espera de sus proxima llegada, pedimos servicio, pero si no, nos alegrará hacer un servicio practico, limpiar el cuarto y baño.

Quisieramos hacer grandes cosas mientras no se de la oportunidad seguiremos su instrucción tratar de hacer algo simple pero hacerlo bien.

Hari bolo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Su hija que lo adora:
