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!!
Manuel

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!!

Hare Krishna Maharaja!!
Please accept my humble obeisances!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
So when I was coming back to Dallas last month after being at RVC, I ran into one of my neighbors, Padayatra.
I was thinking it would be a great opportunity for him, and he agreed to go for a week!
What a excellent week full of reading, hearing, and chanting all day!!
They do daily harinam, plus readings on top of the FMS and FES!!
It's all completely estatic!
I was thinking to maybe stay here until I drive up to Tennessee for your program. What day should I get there? The 13th? The 14th??
HpS - Aaaah! AgtSP Paoho. I didn't know if you were coming! Now we are in RichMond. Very strng work! Gotta be careful not to have a heart attack.
We will fly back with Subal Das on Thursday the 13th and he will stay with us until Sunday. He will be staying in the Ashrama with us. It will be nice if you can come, but if it is too hard then come for the 16th September program.
Now we leave for Nagara sankirtan!
After your program in Tennessee, I'll come back to Dallas, finalize everything, and then head back to RVC.
Thanks for your guidance! I don't think I would have ever "given up" my apartment or job. But it was so easy to do by your mercy.
I keep remembering:
Om anjana-timirandhasya jnananjana-salakaya / caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namah
You've really turned on the light for me and are cutting through the strong ropes of my material attachment!!
Oh also I've been distributing more books, like to the finance guy at a car dealership and a family in a car stuck in traffic!!
🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅
🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Srimad Bhagavad Gita ki jaya!!
Jaya Guru Maharaja!!
Your servant,
Jaya Hari Das
HpS / ASA - Jaya!!! When do you start with RVC? What is the program? How long does it last.
Hare Krishna, Maharaja and dear devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Maharaja thank you for catching my incorrect statement. The purport to text 15.9 of Adi lila, last sentence says "It is strictly forbidden for one to accept any kind of grain on Ekadashi, even if it is offered to Lord Vishnu".
BUT, when I was writing my handwritten notes, I wrote the sentence, but I miss the word accept, so when I was reviewing my notes today in morning just before the start of class. I said this sentence does not make sense. Hence, I insert the word to give instead of accept, it is my mistake not to go back and refer to original sentence of the purport od adi lila 15.9. I was under pressure of time so I did not go back to compare my notes with purport of verse 15.9
I request Maharaja and devotees to forgive me for my inattentiveness in preparing my notes. I will try to be more attentive while preparing my notes. Thank you. Hare Krishna.

Upendra dasa
HpS - Thank you! AgtSP!!! Gradually we build a nice structure of ideas, that is our Krsna conscious intelligence. It is based on SB verses. They are connected by our logic. It all becomes more and more fine, so that nothing can sneak in and bewilder us.
No class this Saturday and on the 15th we can work out your LoB presentation!
Todas las glorias a Goura Nitay
Todas las glorias a srila Prabhupada
Querido Gurudev comienzo mi reporte explicando qué mi sadhana diario es bueno, pero siempre es importante mejorar detalles, cada día analizo en que estuve desconcentrada al siguiente día lo mejoró, si me cuesta más de lo debido busco alternativas para aplicar.
Sigo con la lectura diarias a las devotas saludando, ayudando en sus preguntas, es una hermosa predica
sigo mis estudio de Pada Patma y estudiente oyente de los demás cursos que da LAD, seguimos distribuyendo dulces una vez a la semana cada vez más personas queriendo tomando su sugerencia de hablar de krishna, a otras saludar con un hare krishna según la recepción qué tenga.
Le comento que hace un tiempo compre flores en macetas y estas las ofrezco al altar estoy muy contentA por que son muy bellas y dan mucho botones , además de tener albaca y orégano
Por último mi hermana Francisca vendrá a Lima desde el 4 al 9de Julio con mi sobrino y su esposo muy contentA porque después de 3 años los veré otra vez.
Con las enseñas de Srila Prabhupada sus consejos y bendiciones para mejorar mi calidad de servicio son primordial para mi vida espiritual
Se despide su humilde sirviente Raman Reti Devi Dasi

All glories to Goura Nitay
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Dear Gurudev, I start my report by explaining that my daily sadhana is good, but it is always important to improve details, every day I analyze what I was not focused on, the next day it improved, if it costs me more than I should, I look for alternatives to apply.
I continue with the daily reading to the devotees greeting, helping with their questions, it is a beautiful preaching
I continue my study of Pada Patma and listener student of the other courses that LAD gives, we continue distributing sweets once a week more and more people wanting to take their suggestion to talk about krishna, others greet with a hare krishna according to the reception what they have .
I tell you that some time ago I bought flowers in pots and I offer them to the altar. I am very happy because they are very beautiful and give a lot of buds, as well as having basil and oregano
Finally, my sister Francisca will come to Lima from July 4 to 9 with my nephew and her husband, very happy because after 3 years I will see them again.
With Srila Prabhupada's teachings, his advice and his blessings to improve my quality of service are essential for my spiritual life.
Her humble servant Raman Reti Devi Dasi bids farewell
HpS - AgtSP!! paoho. So, nice. If there are nice devotees all over the world like this, by Srila Prabhupada's mercy, then how can there not be a change in the selfish nature of us all? Everyone become happy knowing that they have a nice, powerful friend and learning to be humble and looking for service.
Thank you.
What kind of sweets?
