Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna, beloved Gurudeva, AGTSP, PAMHO 🙏

SO sorry I have not written before. Honestly, I did not have anything valuable to report.

ASA - As long as you can breath, you can chant. That is important to report, no? 😄

Due to this the situation with the authorities in Perú. I'm considered a dissident even if I haven't broken any principles, nor have bad behaviour. I don't know it they are going to allow me to enter to the altar again. But that is another story.

HpS - I had nice talk with Mathuresa Das and he said he was going to post some comments in the Blog. I will Whatsapp him to ask him to do that.

Let it be administrative disagreements among friends.

We can solve it that way.

Gangamayi Devi Dasi, you, can lead Kirtans for half an hour and everyone join.

Later discuss administrative details.

ISKCON:

1. Srila Prabhupada.
2. Our Friendships.
3. Our Institution.

In this opportunity I want to report that some of the ISKCON associates gathered at the Casa Roja to celebrate the Birthday anniversary of one elder Mataji who is very loved and respect in ISKCON M Prema Tarangani (JPS). She has cáncer. And still she wants to serve the devotees

She told me, "M Candramukhi this is what SP wants that we together try to work in harmony." She is not aware the political situation of the temple. Due to her disease. So I immediately thought this is SP speaking through her.

We had some Prasadam and share some good qualities about M Prema. It was really pleasant.

Ulysses is getting older. Nevertheless, I can tell he is always happy. Maybe he is waiting for You. Today while You share your view of Nashville I thought Ulysses will like there haha

Happy Gurupurnima 🌝 Gurudeva.

Hope to have the opportunity to visit You in your base. Do You know Jacksonville? My cousin lives there I went there last year. Very Nice

HpS - Very little bit. Hope we are keeping enough communication by Twitter, Blog, KDh, Paramatma.

Now is 5.31PM in Richmond. Had very full regulated day. Always struggle with body, mind, community but "Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare" and we are being of use to the mission of the current Avatara.

C U soon Gurudeva

Trying to be your disciple

CMDD

Hare Krishna Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I'm glad you have a cover for your car now. That's such a good idea!

Here is the program at RVC:

Mangal aarti

Narasimhadeva pranam

(To be on the Spanish NOD call I leave before Narasimhadeva prayers and then rejoin after the reading and a quick message to you 🙂)

Tulasi Puja

Short reading from one of SP's books

Japa time

Bhagavad Gita sloka memorization-(during the Japa period 15 min)

Greet the Deities

Guru Puja

Kirtan

Srimad Bhagavatam class

Prasad

Wash the pots

Clean the ashram

Rest time

Study of Vedic Paradigm

Bhoga Aarti

Prasad

Personal time (extra reading option)

1 hour Nectar of Devotion study

2 hours Harinama Sankirtan

Gaura Aarti

Bhagavad Gita class (ends at 8:30p)

Warm milk

Krsna Book option

This is all required for the bhakta program which for me started in June. Normally it's 3 months, but they said I can do one month before becoming a resident.

So I've done one week in June (trying for a month but I needed to drive Padayatra back to Dallas). Then I'll resume in August for finishing up the three weeks and become a resident.

Of course I'll still keep the program going...after residency it just becomes an infinity loop, but then there will be some kind of service added as well. It's all really blissful! So it's all open-ended.

Please excuse my inability to communicate effectively!!! I'm so sorry about that. I was planning to go to the program in July, but if you would like me to come in September that's great and I'll be there!!

Your servant,

Jaya-hari Das

💦💨🌞💫⭐

HpS - Jaya! Such complete news!

You are so welcome to visit!

So, welcome.

We are just trying to coordinate the hospitality.

We fly tomorrow at 10PM to Nashville with SSD.

Arrive in The Boro and take rest by 1PM. Subal will stay in the Ashrama tomorrow night then he will transfer to a rental cottage with the 2-devotees from Richmond for Friday and Saturday night.

They leave Sunday.

So, we have plenty of space in the Ashrama from Friday night.

FEP at 7PM in the Ashrama Friday.

Hare Krishna, Dear Gurumaharaja!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and All glories to you.

Please accept our humble obeisances. (PAOHO)

As of every two weeks:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups (English & Spanish) as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm

Hare Krishna. I sincerely hope you are doing well

HpS - ASA - Program in Richmond is very, very, very intense. We expected it to be and as expected there are very, very, very good results.

We have regular chest pains when we start to push, so we try to get enough rest, but we are skating on the edge of the ice.

🙂

We are doing ok. Keeping a sane sadhana for us (16R, 4.30AM, 4P). Worshipping our deities before leaving for work. Then reading SB everyday.

This is our last week of classes before the holidays. Next week I going to travel with my group to Oxapampa, jungle of Peru. It is our educational journey and we will work the land; planting, harvesting, etc.

Today I plan to go to the temple. I read that Temple of Miraflores is open again. It is the closest temple to home. so we'll try to keep going.

My family is ok. My niece is now 8 months. My mother is doing some checkups, because she got a ball on her leg... doctors are ruling out that it is cancer. I lost some weight, I don't know how. But I am keeping my diet.

we thanks a lot all you support and patience

Your aspirant servants

EDT (Patrak das & Antuanette)

HpS - 😢 Your help is so, so essential us. Please excuse that sometimes we don't process your Blog posts immediately.

They are our number one priority.

Hope your students see Krsna!!!

Whatsapp to DTC(UT) India Editors:

[7/12, 4:12 PM] HP Swami - Prof HHR: 🤪 4.12pm. just finished detailed review of DTC(ut)INDIA with about five pages of notes.

Have pretty serious chest pains. Of course, eyes failing. Squeezing last bit of air out of this body, but this is a great way to go.

krsna krsna, hare hare!

agtsp!

paoho/bw.

t. brown here. 🐵 🐒🐒 We learned how to insert these emos quickly. Type a ':' then follow it with a key-word like 'monkey', and the emo menu appears etc.

it, the sun, is at 9.51pm.

it was a very, very full day, and productive.

lettuce give it an UG 75% success score.

we are camped in richmond metroplex. innsbrook. in the 'azrAm' (harvard-kyoto translitertion) of subal sakha das and family.

it is great.

we are dying

but

in a pretty satisfying way.

our donkey is going blind, losing hearing, suffocating etc.

our accomodations are nice.

wish we had a platform for a yoga mat rather than a soft. bead, but this is the material world, kali-yuga.

is nice.

we are not attracted to meditate on how nice our camp is.

Good, no?

conscious of the transit lounge just enough to do our work.

'devotional service is not a matter of imaginative ecstacy or sentimental speculation. Rather, it is practical activity in the foreground of spiritual life', NoI (?) 3.

travel from nashville was safe.

we got a cover for the mercedes with subal so that it is in the shade and birds don't defecate on it!

reception by shyam-giri-dhari das et al has been great.

FMS and at least one big program every day.

Diksa in the Temple.

Hari-nama in the Hippy Heaven.

Sunday Festival w/ 40+devotees live and online in Subal's home this morning.

Honoring Prasadam 90% under control by HpS/BW/UG and local cooks efforts.

Writing a Walmart Composition Book [will try to photo] to leave behind of our visit, 'as sannyasi should leave something in writing', WRSPS [we remember SP said]. hopefully it will go to Office Max, get chopped, scanned into jpeg images, spiral bound and on-line distibuted.

are our and hps's stuff worth reading?

well there are 8-billion people in the world who could demand an iskcon guru, so i guess that even you, me and hps have some people to serve.

main thing is that all of our writings just serve to illuminate, improve access to, his divine grace srila a. c. bhaktivedanta swami prabhupada, founder acharya of iskcon and author of the book KRSNA, the SPOG!

Good night.

JAYA SRI SRI GURU AND GAURANGA !!

ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA !! And his dedicated disciples like you, that inspire us to absorb ourselves in Hari Kirtan.

ARTd's donkey has been affected by various health issues. Now that it is recovering, we will try to be consistent in sending reports to the Blog.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Paoho... We will try to process Blog posts better! It has taken us five days to read and process this wonderful post. I should have been three at the most. 🤔

We are always trying to be helpful in Sankirtana, but we lack more attunement with Paramatma, please excuse our failures.

HpS/ASA - Same for us. Let us make progress each day!

This report has two parts:

PART 1: SOLARIS No 7 and SOLARIS No 8.

By the mercy of Sri Nityananda we hope to have Dr Samaresha's article definitively approved before July 5th so that we can have SOLARIS No. 7 printed on July 11th (ISKCON meets its 57th anniversary that day). This edition of SOLARIS No 7 has been the most laborious, so far, but its content is worth it.

HpS - Jaya! Yet, it seems that the effort we have put into it, the accomodate Dr. Samaresha's comments has been worth it in growth of Solaris as an Academic journal.

OLARIS 8 Preview:

1.      Héctor Béjar: THE PARADIGMS OF A HOLISTIC EDUCATION (delivered).

2.      Diego Rodríguez de Ita: THE PATH OF ARCHITECTURE INTO THE FUTURE (delivered)

3.      Guillermo G. Sepúlveda: FOOD SOCIOLOGY AND THE VEDIC PERSPECTIVE FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (delivered)

We hope that through Professor Hanumatpresaka Swami, Dr. Gupta (Radhika Raman) and Dr Bandyopadhyay we can get 4 or 5 articles in English. We call on all blog readers to contribute to this purpose.

HpS/ASA - [TTD] We are always looking for English language academics to participate. Seems we are progressing in this area. One candidate might be Dr. Abhiseka Singh: LAW - Religious and Secular in the Current Moment. 

2nd. PART: DTC-UT INDIA PROGRESS. Since ARTd returned from Chile (on June 25) it [he] has been in permanent contact with Pablo Rivasplata, the meetings sometimes ended almost at midnight. Pablo has offered the first version for July 6 and the final version the last week of July.

HpS/ASA - Aaaah! Now it is July 9th and we do not have the July 6th version??? Some medical problem? It seems that it will be a Block-buster.

That's all for now, ARTd will write, between July 3 and 7, a report on the trip to Chile and another on the situation of the Peruvian yatra.

TB - Haaa! Haaa! Haaa! ArtD and Monkey Manuel ate as bad as us and HpS. Yet, whatever we do daily we will perfect. So keep a Diary. Publish that.

Maybe keep a Twitter account.

HpS - Might be able to Follow some ASA flock members on Twitter.

See the DTC for today.

Please accept my respectful obeisances, Hare Krishna!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

El burro de ARTd ha estado afectado por varios temas de salud. Ahora que ya se está recuperando, trataremos de ser constantes en enviar informes al blog. Siempre estamos tratando de ser útiles al Sankirtana, pero nos falta más sintonía con Paramatma, por favor disculpa nuestras fallas. Este informe tiene dos partes:

1era PARTE: SOLARIS No 7 y SOLARIS No 8.

Por la misericordia de Sri Nityananda esperamos tener aprobado definitivamente el artículo del Dr Samaresha antes del 5 de julio y así poder tener SOLARIS No 7 impresa el 11 de julio (ese día ISKCON cumple su 57avo aniversario). Esta edición de SOLARIS No 7 ha sido la más laboriosa, hasta ahora, pero su contenido lo vale.

Avance de SOLARIS 8:

1.         Héctor Béjar: LOS PARADIGMAS DE UNA EDUCACIÓN HOLÍSTICA (entregado)

2.         Diego Rodríguez de Ita: THE PATH OF ARCHITECTURE INTO THE FUTURE (entregado)

3.         Guillermo G. Sepúlveda: SOCIOLOGÍA DE LA ALIMENTACIÓN Y LA PERSPECTIVA VÉDICA PARA EL DESARROLLO DE LA COMUNIDAD (entregado)

4.         José Luis Valencia: EL PLAN ESPIRITUAL AZTLAN, Símbolos del movimiento chicano de resiliencia (por entregar)

5.         Claudia Lira: RESONANCIA, SERENIDAD Y SINCRONICIDAD: JUNG Y EL PENSAMIENTO CLÁSICO CHINO (por entregar)

6.         Paula Miranda y Elicura Chihuailaf: LA POESÍA, LA NATURALEZA Y LO SAGRADO (por entregar)

7.         Mauricio Contreras: LA CATEDRA UNESCO Y LA ESPIRITUALIDAD EN LA EDUCACIÓN (por entregar)

8.         Entrevista a Francois Vallaeys: EL PAPEL DEL VOLUNTARIADO EN LA RESPONSABILIDAD SOCIAL UNIVERSITARIA (por realizar)

Esperamos que a través del Profesor Hanumatpresaka Swami, del Dr. Gupta (Radhika Raman) y del Dr Bandyopadhyay podamos obtener 4 o 5 artículos en inglés. Hacemos un llamado a todos los lectores del blog a que contribuyan con este propósito.

2da. PARTE: AVANCES DE DTC-UT INDIA. Desde que ARTd regreso de Chile (el 25 de junio) ha estado en contacto permanente con Pablo Rivasplata, las reuniones a veces acabaron casi a medianoche. Pablo ha ofrecido para el 6 de julio la primera versión y la versión definitiva la última semana de julio.

Eso es todo por ahora, ARTd escribirá, entre el 3 y 7 de julio, un informe del viaje a Chile y otro sobre la situación del yatra peruano.

Por favor acepte mis respestuosas reverencias, Hare Krishna!!

Manuel
