Letters to the editor

Dear Gurumaharaja:

Please accept our obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We learned through the blog being planned dates for some countries in South America for the Education Symposium in early 2015 are very interested to know: is there any chance that this symposium will also be held in Mexico ?

Lord Krishna made His arrangements and under His inspiration Gurumaharaja, we organize the recent seminar, which follow:

Firstly, we thank you for your gracious participation in the recent "Education Seminar: ISKCON in pursuit of integral development" held in the Temple of Sri Sri Radha Madana Gopal - Mexico.

In its course, the speakers presented topics interest us most:

1- "Sastric Education" by Krishna Balarama prabhu

2 "Homeschooling" Aruddha Mataji  and Hare Krishna prabhu.

3.- "Using technology as a tool for education by Crecer  Vaisnava."

4.- "Report of the Sunday school ASA Kids educational program."

5: "Report of the first Symposium. Northern American education Govinda Pramodini dd".

All topics were very good.

"Homeschool" became real interest to our attendees, to share with us the experience of teaching in their own homes with their children Krishna consciousness very effective methods.

Many practical questions about how to do this work in their homes, and to better use technology in education and the work plan of ASA kids.

A great contribution of Krishna Balarama Prabhu about the meaning of "organized education"

I humbly believe that this seminar is a short introduction to the Symposium on Education in South America scheduled for early 2015.

Gurumaharaja thank you very much for teaching us to make the best use the "donkey" and continue our efforts.

Gurumaharaja, devotees of Mexico City, are eager to ask if it is possible to hold its Vyasa- Puja Sri Sri Radha Madan Gopal Mandir?

We pray to the Lord for His protection Nrisimhadeva in the service of our beloved spiritual master.

Please excuse our offenses.

We remain attentive to their instructions.

ASA Mexico

HPS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. We will look for the date of HpS - Vyasa-puja. Your report is super. We are sorry we are weak and maybe distracted by so many things, but we hope by the unlimited mercy of  Srila Prabhupada we will IMPROVE in our flexibility in avoid the witch and always be involved in communicating with you all.

We will look for travel from Mexico to South America.
Are day care centers, Kinder level schools prominent in Mexico? We have a franchise so that devotees can have their 4-5 year old children in their school and also children of other devotees and nice people? Respects to President and Krsna Balarama! This is the greatest Sankirtan!!!

AGTSP!
paoh..0'........
Made it to New Bihar-van, Boise, Idaho.
Had a ripping sore throat and fever starting yesterday when we left New Badarikashrama, Denver and today it blossomed!
 

Ooof.
 

We are trying to adjust Br. Asses load like all of you and then it is devotional service, so we can always be happy. We are unhappy when we to live without disease and death in this material world.

It it is a joke.

So today, four class programs that were essential. Mangala arati was so nice for our health - Dancing and chanting under our breath as Radhika lead.

HK/HR!

We finished 26-rounds yesterday which was a lot while traveling!
We have to adjust the Japa. Devamrta Swami does 25-while at home and only 16-while traveling. Of course the real thing is to chant all the time on or off beads but 16-good rounds minimum and we definetely want to adjust our other service so we can get 25-day.

O.K. . . . Feel like a car ran over Br. Ass but happy.
 

Candramukhi Devi Dasi had a fever on Tuesday. LAD said he answered our letter but we can't find it. Jagat and M. Yugala had great questions and comments for BhVai today.
 

5.22PM. A little Japa and then bath and 7PM our last program. Home program with about 45-Indian engineers et al.

We are winning!!!

AGTSP

paoho

We just answered like 14-letters. Took the day off from other academic effforts. Headache coming. <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

Enough, no?    Now we just rest a little and talk with the Lord in the Heart (as distinguished from the Lord in the Stomach). Today is Thursday. Ekadasi vrata. Hmmm. Nice.

O.K. Thank you so much for your association!

About 20-letters to answer. Tomorrow we go to Boise.

In the chaos of dying, what ideas do you want to hang on to?

That is all you can take with you, your understanding of things, memories. Hang on to a few of them?

HpS - ASA - Monkey - Pygee!

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please accept my obeisances. Agtsp I'm camilo from sydney. The reason for this post is that I've been considering the fact of spend a few years in the sydney temple as monk, by many things, for example that I need to learn how to train my mind, and also learn how to serve the guru properly, and at least have a basic understanding and study the vedas to preach much better. Because I thought that if I move in to govindas ashram, which is a good place to have a glimpse of bramhacari life or what live under a spiritual authority means, and to develop a service attitude ,is Okey. But isn't like a real temple life, really absorbed in Krishna and having no association with women. So I said, better to do it all at once, or better to do it as it should be done to get the spiritual benefits of it. And the other reason is sort of like an astrological thing, because I did a chart with a devotee and she said that I have to do it before being married. I just hope to receive the mercy to be qualified to do it and don't fall in the mind , because I'm very emotional sometimes hahaha. And another thing I've been thinking is if I should talk about my tendencies, like for example, I love music and play mridanga, harmonium, piano, etc. Well, I think that's all. Thanks for your time. Hare Krishna Maharaja. Trying to be your servant, camilo.

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP. Why not try it for some time. Then see the result!!!

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please accept my obeisances. Agtsp. Is camilo writing from sydney. News about the temple: well in this point I've been in contact with your disciple madhu-manjari mataji, she told me some things about you, so I can understand more about you. Then, the temple president he already knows me, he is very kind. But if what you are asking me is to get someone to write you about me, that probably would be the ashram managers here at govindas. Govindas ashram: this is a facility given by Pratapana prabhu and Jay sri mataji ( Prabhupada disciples), and consists of a training space for those who want to be Krishna cconscious, the way it works is that we have to attend the weekly programs such as Friday harinama, book distribution 4 or more times a week, meditation sessions at govindas restaurant(Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday night), bhagavad gita course on Thursdays, and also kirtans on Tuesdays and Fridays evening,plus going to the temple Saturday and Sunday morning for the bhagavatam classes,plus any spontaneous service that may come up. I hope this helps. Hare Krishna. Agtsp Your aspiring servant, camilo.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP.  Paoho. We see another letter from Kitri Das. We look at that next! This news is nice!

Dear Gurumaharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Last week we had the good fortune of receiving your TPP composition book in the mail. Thank you very, very much for sending this precious gift. We find it a wonderful look inside the mind of Hanumatpresaka Swami, with the many pearls of wisdom that you share with us disciples written down in a jolly package. It is a priceless gift, and i offer you my gratitude.

This is the score of my bookdistribution last july, for your and Srila Prabhupada's pleasure:  1 maha, 10 big, 8 medium, 3 small.
    HpS - ASA - Did you keep contact with any of the people. Is super report!!

Then i wish to inquire on your thoughts on the following. I wish to publish an updated version of On Chanting Hare Krishna, in Dutch languat. It is my intention to gather donations from local devotees, and make this a free publication, not one to throw away after reading, but softbound and 30+ pages. So it will be slightly different than bigger than the original, with articles about: SP, Mahamantra, ISKCON, who is Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, kirtan yoga, what ISKCON can offer als alternative lifestyle, and finally, the synthesis between science and religion. There is a request to Kadamba Kanana Swami, born in Holland, to write a foreword. If you consider yourself a good person to write an article about the synthesis between science and religion, would you want to do that? It does not have to be very extensive, an introduction will do. Or if you have any suggestions, i will be pleased to hear them. I gather your focus is more on education these days, which personally i consider more of an internal ISKCON affair. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
HpS - I think all the material would be copyrighted by the BBT, no? You would have to do it under licence to them, no? I think someone like Aja-govinda Das or another of the devotees with PhD in science should write about the scientific basis of chanting. We could talk with them by phone etc.

Now you American tour has started, i wish you happy travels. May you touch the hearts and minds of many devotees, and that it will be reciprocal.

With kind regards,
Your junior disciple,
Raghava Pandita dasa.

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP  Hey, how is the family? Temple????
