1st Dec NIOS Report

10 years, 1 month ago by hps in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Jaya Sri Krsna!

Esteemed Professor, Harsh, Girivaradhari Das et al,
We tried to call Nil-kamal Ashrama on Sunday at 9PM, IST, but both phones just mournfully rang and rang.
Then yesterday we were talking with Prof. Radhika-raman Das (Ravi Gupta) during that time and missed the call. Today we were little sick from some alergy reaction to cooking oil gas.
O.K. Bad instrument trying to be of some use.
We will try to call again.
The Peru Library Conference still is our first NIOS priority. Is O.K?   We see that all of our other NIOS work can fall in quite naturally behind this.
1. We have been pushing, pushing, pushing Abhirama thakur Das (Alejandro Salazaar), to get the Library to post the event on their Web-site. Then we can start promoting it as a bonafide event. We especially want to start inviting and confirming scholars for the event and the corresponding periodical, Solaris.
2. After that we are pushing for a formal budget agreement between NIOS and the Library (as fiscal agent for NIOS in Peru), then NIOS can contribute $10,000 for the event. Library will supply its prestige, big management infra-structure and continental hotel and travel for about 2-5 scholars.
3. Abhirama has been encountering bureaucracy slow downs and was scheduled to go yesterday, Tuesday, with Ramon's, Director of Museum's, personal secretary to get the announcement posted. When we talked today, he said it was postponed until Thursday. If these delays get to prominent we are inclined to think the production of the event will be too difficult and turn to some other projects.
4. If the event goes ahead, then we certainly want to include, you, Professor Samaresh, and Professor Sonu Shamdasani, as two principal NIOS participants. We would like for you and Mrs. Bandhyopadyay to come to USA and also attend the Conference in Peru, and also collaborate with museum, history and archaelogical groups there.
Of course, in Peru Mataji and you could join television shows that promote culture and speak about the parallels between Peru and Bengal from the time of your Grandparents etc. We feel sure that from a ladies point of view it would be sensational, powerful, eg. how did your Grandmother dress, did she ride in a horse carriage when she would visit relatives, do Bengali girls wear pants now?
The idea would be for your good selves to stop over in USA, but as we were making extensive discussions on the matter with Radhika we realized that this would be June or July, and the USA universities are 87% dead this time!
We thought of individual meetings with scholars you would like to meet. He knows of Prof. Solomann at University of Washington. He thinks Prof. Ludo Rocher has probably retired, but University of Pennsylvania is one of the probably 5-7 schools in USA that have a full Indological studies program. He thinks there is a regular Indological USA meeting in June or July that we could join. He is looking for the dates.
That is about all for now.
Of course, there are many NIOS details going on.
We will try to call.

CONFIDENTIAL QUESTION

CONFIDENTIAL REPORT

ASA - Awwwk!    In the description of the Blog. www.jayarama.us/kd/lte.htm.

We explain our awkward postion. We are all Brahmacaris here so we can't answer confidential letters for ladies. Please send maybe a general statement first and if you need to communicate with us madmen confidentially then just mention it here and we can give you a confidential e-mail address.

Hare Krsna!!!

Hoping to be of some little, little service to you potent Sankirtan.

Report NIMSAR November-2015

Hare Krsna Maharaja.

PAMHO.AGTSP

Here I present the 4th NIMSAR report.

ASA - Hare Krsna!!

 

1.-Nimsar it is seeking to implement the proposals received of the sastra area in Chosica Educational Congress.

Whit short term proposals was organized:

1.1.Monthly classes of December to February (for now)

speakers: Laksmana d,Abinanda d,Isvari dd (these classes are given  in LIma and Chosica.

1.2.-Classes in Chosica  Sunday for guests  to 1.30pm-2.30pm (began in November)

speakers: Karuna Krsna d, Abhirama Thakura d,Abhinanda d,Padmavati dd

Target of this program is to raise the level of understanding of both the guests and speakers.

But it   seems that  this program  will be changed for the actual manager of education of Chosica and  your perspective.

2.-The Proposals of the sastric area are divided into short,medium and long term. In charge of organizing this  are Abhinanda d  and Isvari dd. (soon we will send posters of the programs )

Go to Vraja - 24-hour Kirtan???? #2

hare krishna Maharaj pamho agtsp.

thank you very much for all the care you've had.

I will consider everything, and talk to the devotees here; and try to give the right step.

Yes; i was in India in the month of Kartika in 2009

I was in Mayapur, Nabadwip, Bhubaneswar - in the temple of Gaura-Govinda Maharaj; also i was in Jagannatha Puri Dhama - where I committed the impertinence to enter the temple on two occasions; then Vrindavan Dham, Varsana, Govardham.

incredible journey. It was very important to me; That helped me a lot; to have a little more faith. See Hare Krishna from another point of view, deeper; not like those crazy people who walk on the street singing.

well, I will continue trying to understand all this.
 
Maharaj - once again thank you very much for your support.

HpS - Aaaah!   You are an experienced fellow, but still we worry that you will just get boored in Vrndavan ISKCON, ....   unless Radha Shyama want you to sit in front of them with Their Lady Friends and sing and play funny songs.      Maybe They have some other thing They want you to do. Look for a Sankirtan party passing nearby you!

Who is that boy in the white shirt next to you in the picture?
