Hare Krsna dear Gurumaharaja
Please, accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I hope you are in good health and I also hope that your preaching is going ahead favorably.
Here is the report on our activities over the past two weeks.This monday finally we had a meeting with the National Board and they happily accepted our four applications. They were a few months of uncertainty that have concluded favorably, but this is just the beginning, there is now an expectant community of devotees to work with.
These were our requests:
- Recognition to NIMSAR and the current board through official resolution as an institution affiliated with ISKCON Peru.
- Permission to teach the courses of Introduction to Bhakti Yoga (Chosica), Disciples Course (Chosica) Worship Seminar (Lima), Course of Communications and Management and Leadership (Lima and Chosica), according to the privileges granted to us by each temple.
- We also requested the signatures of the chairman of the National Board and the temple President in the course certificates extended by NIMSAR to their students.
- Finally, we request permission to organize and conduct the ISKCON Meeting of Educators in August of this year.
In return we are committed to:
- Submit quarterly reports in writing and in person at the meeting of National Board by the president and secretary of our institution.
- Present the syllabus and content of courses, seminars and lectures to the National Board.
- Present the annual work plan in February of each year to the National Board.
All board members have accepted the application, Jiva Sakti prabhu has been appointed as the ISKCON Peru education secretary and he is responsible for drafting the official document to be signed within days. We also presented the preliminary program of the event in August and they were enthusiastic, We expect very intense and significant times. Once I translate the progress of the program, I'll send it to you for your views and approval.

Is thois okay, Gurudeva? Do you think we need to fix something?

Thank you so much for engage us in service.
Your servant
Gandharva dasa
Here is the final NIMSAR logotype, what dou you think Gurumaharaja?
HpS - Ananga-manjari DD was also a founding member.
The Directors are the Board of Directors? How are they chosen? I would put the Officers as Non-voting Members. Of course, a Officers can also be Directors, but they don't have to be.
This is very, very enlivining news. We want to be very well integrated with the National Council. I hope that you are able to balance your sadhana, family, sankirtan.
Log is nice, simple. Maybe later more persona, like the Kindle logo.
Hare Krsna!!!
