Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

I am taking as a reference the style of Krishna art images, and I have some questions: Do you believe that Krishna art images were adapted so that Westerners can better understand the pastimes? 

HpS - Don't know, AGTSP!! paoho.... details, but I read that Srila Prabhupada said that the Temple Deities should have features like the local people.

Since Srila Prabhupada was "pascatya desa tarine", seem he might have aimed the art at "Western" people!

Lot of variety of style in the BBT art.

Is it a sin or a serious mistake to make modifications to the skin color and hair color of the characters from the Srimad Bhagavatam? 

HpS - Hmmm. Same as above. To me seems best to just follow the BBT art general things like this.

I ask these questions because in SB 8.22.13, it indicates that Prahlad Maharaj had dark skin: "whose dark body had the black hue of eye cosmetics." 

HpS - This might be something that the artists specifically asked of Srila Prabhupada and then the skin color in the BBT art was what he wanted.

When Dhruva Maharaj was picked up by the Vishnudhutas, did he ascend in his two-armed form or his four-armed form, similar to Vishnu? (https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/4/12/29/) In Krishna Art, Dhruva is depicted with golden skin, black hair, and two arms. 

HpS - Same as above. Follow BBT art in this case.

I wish to know how flexible I should be when creating images using Artificial Intelligence

Thank you very much

HpS - I think your audience, Hispanomerican is basically the same as the USA audience that Srila Prabhupada was giving the BBT art too. So can keep same basic features and complexions, no? In Beijing, maybe use oriental features, like the Princess in the Moon, for Srimati Radha and Gopis.

Thank you!!!

¡Hare Krsna! Guru Maharaja por favor acepte nuestras entregadas reverencias

Hare Krishna! Guru Maharaja. Please accept our dedicated obeisances

All glories be to our most merciful Srila Prabhupada and all glories to his faithful followers!

Praying that the energy of his body is favorable for his Sankirtana, we are very grateful for his example which constantly inspires us to keep ourselves busy in the service of our divine Acarya.

I am writing as part of the ASA Carnaval team, to send our activity report:

HpS/ASA - Thank you!! Everyone likes to visit a carnival! We attach one painting of Guru with disciples. Maybe you can use it for ASA Carnival??

*We continue to broadcast Saturday classes with HH Hanumatpresaka Swami and Upendra Prabhu, in addition to classes from ParthSarthi Foundation (Houston).

HpS - Very nice. This next Saturday H. G. Subal-askha Das will present instead of HpS because HpS getting ready for Festival of Cultivation of the Human Spirit in Nashville. Should be very nice class.

* We share a video of his offering to Srila Prabhupada, in his transcendental Vyasa Puja. (Nikunja Bihari Prabhu, collaborated with the translation and reading).

*On the FB and YouTube channels, users will be able to find a playlist with some Srila Prabhupada classes (English - Spanish).

HpS/ASA - Super. Everyone should know a little bit about all of Srila Prabhupada's books, and then know a lot about what books are important for their service.

If we can guide them around SP's books that is so nice, no?

Projects:

*Talks with Abhirama Thakura Prabhu, regarding some recordings of Santa Eulalia, are progressing.

*We are slowly continuing with the indexing and support work on the YouTube platform.

***We have had some meetings to coordinate activities that respond to your suggestions to “contribute directly to Srila Prabhupada's mission” from which several proposals have emerged in which we hope to integrate other members of the ASA. We will be informing you as soon as these proposals become more solid.

ASA - 🌞

ASA Carnival

HpS - Please also send some news of your Yatra, Mexico, friends, competitors et al.

In the carnival there are different booths, selling things, puppet shows, dancing dogs!

Join Rathyatra???

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj. Dandavat Pranams. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am chanting 16 rounds and following the regulative principles.

HpS/ASA - Me too! AgtSP!!!!

Janmashtami at the Atlanta temple went really well.

ASA - 20,000 plates of Prasadam?

We are trying to worship our Paramananda Gaura Nitai very nicely. Vishaka dresses them beautifully everyday (Attached picture - Orange dress today).

ASA - They must be very proud. They must be showing off how nicely They are dressed to everyone in the area, Nabadvipa.

We are currently in San Francisco at some devotees friend's house. They just had their Gaura Nitai deities (attached picture - green dress and taller) installed at their home by H. G. Vaisesika Prabhu. He gave them the name Parama Karuna Nitai Gaura.

HpS - I took first initiation in the same letter where he took 2nd initiation. We were in the San Francisco Temple, 455 Valencia St. together.

I have a couple of Tava Pache Pache books and was planning on presenting one to Vaisesika Prabhu, but my hosts told me that He already had one. I will anyway try to give him one if He doesn't have it.

HpS - He is excellent scholar and if he has one he would know to whom to give the second.

We will be celebrating Radhashtami at ISV.

We have made an on-the-fly plan to visit Boise for the Rath Yatra. So excited to meet You during the Rath Yatra Guru Maharaj. Boise Rath yatra was my first Rath Yatra in the US in 2018.

ASA - Wow! Jagannatha Baladeva and Subhadra will be delighted to see you!

Eagerly awaiting to get Your association Guru Maharaj.

Your humble servant

Sri Rama Krishna Das

HpS - Hope you got connection with Niti-sara Das for accommodation and service.
