Letters to the editor

All Glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, Srila Prabhupada and Harinama Sankirtan Movement!

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my most humble obeisances, we do not talk a while since your last visit, but since that time, to education symposium, which you directed, I have been concerned to approach the area of ​​education from my perspective and that it could bring it.
Using a little everything I've learned so far, with the invitation of some devotees as Sri Bhakti Das (disciple of His Holiness Dhanvantari Swami) and inspiration that the symposium and all we could see of each of the devotees, around the world, who are providing education for ISKCON, I did a cooking class in a juvenile prison, with around 30 young people between 14 and 18 years imprisoned for robbery with violence and such cases. We were nearly three hours with the guys talking about how we should cook and the importance of offering this to Krishna with love and devotion, was a good result, the group kept quiet and very appreciative of the visit.

And this Friday (11-12-2015) I did "The first cooking class" at a school for children with special educational needs, a group of about 9 children, the teacher in charge and an assistant, I took my deities, we cooked sweet balls of Banana and coconut, they kept the commitment not to try before you offer, and collaborated with the offering, silently, recited the maha mantra and waited patiently to take Kirshna Prasada!!!! it was really rewarding experience, all the time together children school, teachers, administrative and played bhajanas with Sri Bhakti and his wife Indira Jahnava mataji, another major achievement, the children were very quiet and attentive listening to the chanting of The Holy Names.

On the advice of Jagadguru, I send this report to  You know that your work is a constant source of inspiration to us, the idea of ​​having a school in the yatra is something we hope to realize, that all this is to please Srila Prabhupada and continue expanding his legacy.
sending pictures of the last program.
AGTSP!

Dear Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada! I heard a lecture by H.G. Radhika Raman prabhu where he mentioned the importance of sambandha Jnana in forming relationships. In the interest of establishing a deeper relationship with you, I thought I'd share a little about my life.

I grew up in a small industrial town called Thomaston, in rural Connecticut, known for America's first clock factory. My father is the director of a Christian charity and my mother taught elementary school. I was fortunate to be raised with some principles, (truthfulness at least) and to have spent my childhood mostly outdoors.

As a youth I felt called as a missionary, but I was disturbed after a Q&A with one Calvinist professor. Plus I couldn't understand why, if I was "born again," I could not repent (I.e. give up) sin. Halfway through high school I moved to South Carolina with family, it was like a mini reincarnation. My faith gave way and I thought "let me seek truth; if my original beliefs are confirmed then I'll understand better, but if they're false what's the loss?"

I got serious as a painter and majored in Studio Art, where I was top of my class. Unfortunately I was experimenting heavily with drugs and women and by the end of my first semester I attempted suicide and was hospitalized.

At 19 I had to rebuild my entire life. Jungian analysis helped, and I was devouring books. Desperate for a fresh start, one day I drove to NYC and lived there for about a year and studied art at a conservatory. I was grateful to God and prayed "you've been so kind, is there anything I can do for you?" Then I found Prabhupada's books.

In subsequent years I witnessed first hand the Deep Horizon oil spill in New Orleans, and was involved in some activism in Charleston. I got in trouble there so I backpacked to California and met devotees. The first day I started japa I repented sin and became joyful. I'm just trying to surrender and find my place in Prabhupada's mission. I'm into Harinam/ sankirtan, interfaith, education, art. Surely I'm dog, but dog of Vaisnava I hope! I'm sorry to hound you with inquiries... I've a bit of a polemical nature but I don't mean offense. Thank you for your tolerance. I feel a little silly writing this, I hope I'm not being presumptuous. Hare Krsna!

Yhs,

Bhakta Eric

P.S. Check out this mural I painted on somebody's wall when I was visiting my old stomping grounds! : D

Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my obeisenses. All glories to  Patita Pavana Srila Prabhupada!!!. 

I have some news about your sankirtan in Bs As.  

Confirmed:

1. Its confirmed an Interview in a TV Program, in Canal de la Ciudad, the oficial channel of the Capital City.(date to be confirmed)

2. They asked what kind of questions you want to be asked.
ASA - It seems you have been traveling, organizing and participating in cultural and educational programs in South American for many years now. What has been the result of that?

Then we can explain the Symposium in Peru and the satellite events. We will send synopsis of our paper for the event soon. 

19/1/2015 It is confirmed a meeting with Dr. Klurfan (the director of the mental health institute you ve been) and his team, and also I invited Lic. Virginia Gawel and her team for this meeting, she is the Director of the Bs As transpersonal center,  here is a link to their web page:  http://www.centrotranspersonal.com.ar/que-es-el-ctba/el-staff/

ASA -  Maxi will be available for a phone call or questions during this meeting?

Waiting for confirmation:

1. Still waiting for confirmation of the Bs As Jung Foundation for giving a seminar in their center.

2. Waiting for confirmation  from AstroArquetipica for giving a seminar in their a center. If not, it is  posible you can meet with their team.

*Also last time in Skype I commented you about the posibility of having a Skype meeting with  Bert Hellinger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Hellinger and he is a german, and very occuped so he administrates a lot his time , he wants to know what are his interest in meeting with you.

HpS - I just read the web-page. Is very interesting. Unless he wants to investigate our theme of Science, Psyche and Spirituality - The Encounter of Carl Jung with the Classical Mysticism of India, then it seems we would not have a very intense meeting. You can give him a copy of the Teachings of Lord Caitanya, and explain the symposium in Peru. He can write for it.
Other than that ask him if he has any students with whom he feels we might talk.

*Do you want to give some special seminar for devotees in temple?

HpS - Pada-padma - Embracing the Lotus Feet of Krsna. Canto One and Two of Srimad Bhagavatam (like you never knew them before).   O.K? 

*Is it posible to do a NIOS meeting? , there is a devotee that is psychologyst that maybe can help a lot in your sankirtan in Bs As.

ASA - Of course!  NIOS/ASA meetings. Meetings with devotees.

Hope you health is fine Gurudeva,

your servant,

Madhavendra P. Das

HpS - Honestly I consider you and everyone in Argentina our teachers. Battle of Kuruksetra, Ki Jai!  We win the world or die and go to heaven.

You are co-ordinating with The Rati-manjari DD, no?

Of course, anybody can write here in the Blog with suggestions. Nikunja-bihari Das is running around with his pistols loaded too.
