13 years, 3 months ago by Gopal C Biswas in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Hare Krsna Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
 
    Thank you Maharaj.

    Please let me know, in which month you will be in India this year.
    
    Maharaj, we have a plan to visit Puri at the time of Jaganatha Rath
    yatra in coming june for 9 days.

    And we have a plan to visit Vrindavan in the month of Kartik (Octuber).

Your aspiring servant,
Gopal Biswas

HpS = AGTSP     I think we answered this another letter, no?   We may go in May to visit the devotees in Manipur.  We will try to confirm that when we get back to USA and telephone on the 27th Feb.     Then we would not go for Kartika, rather go to Australia.

HARE KRSNA !

Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami. Porfavor acepte mis reverencias. Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada. Querido Maharaja : Usted me pregunta cual es mi negocio, my business. Es enfocado en la salud, como medicina alternativa. Detox foot bath, Swedish massage, Skin care like facial treatments, steam . La chica que fue a vender la biblia se hiso un masaje para aliviar su dolor de espalda por el esfuerzo de vender tantas biblias. Ella estudia en una universidad de cristianos que son vegetarianos. Era bien joben 22 años y parecia una Angel , como yo le regale el bhagavad gita ella me regalo un libro de las profesias y me conto que ina compañera de viaje les gusto el Bhagavad Gita tambien estuboeron leyendolo . Aunque me gusta ayudar a la gente y en especial necesito criar a mis hijos,siempre me gustaria que mi ocupacion fuese complacer a mi autoridad espiritual. Espero que se encuentre bien, Su eterna sirvienta Maha Bhava Cintamani dd

HAribol!!
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Dear gurudeva we are preparing everytihing for your preaching here in mardel.
Everybody have confirmed his attendance to the interfaith program, Father hugo segovia, rabbin daniel somestein, Kamel gomez from the islamic community and abdul Karim from the sufis. The meeting is going to be held on wed 14 and thurs 15 march. I told everybody to make a previous meeting in order to make a better organization so i would like you to suggest me topics or some format for the meeting fo a better result. Then on friday the idea is to hold LOB symposium i was thinking in printing 5 picutres on canvas so if you please can choose them  i can start printing them. Those are going to be the public programs besides sunday feast at the loft. Then everybody is happy with a NOI or Bhakti sastri 5 days seminar in the mornings and a japa retreat for saturday 17th. Please fell free to make any adjustment you consider.

Hope your health has improved,
struggling to become your servant,
Bhakta nicasio.

Hps - AGTSP  pamho     Do you have the files for printing the pictures?  Interfaith dialog can fall in at least three categories, no:

1. Pilgrims progress, what is the means of advancement in different processes?

2. Utopia, what is the ultimate Goal?

3. Hell, the enemies of spiritual life!

Krishna and Animation

Hare Krishna, please accept these humble obeisances

All the glorification goes to Srila Prabhupada and Gauranga!

Greetings Maharaja, I am not sure if you've seen Little Krishna, the 3d animated series of Krishna's pastimes depicted in our current mode of human technology. Animations like that involve advanced animation programs such as 3ds Max, Blender, and Maya (Maya is a real animation programs name, LOL).

I believe there was some problems with Little Krishna's production the team had to answer to regaurding one of Prabhupada's letters on animation + movies: 

1)    Are you aware that Srila Prabhupada did not want Krishna to be represented as a cartoon character?

Ans: Yes we are aware of the letter Srila Prabhupada wrote in 1971.

Srila Prabhupada wrote to Madhusudana, “The point is that these drawings should be realistic. Not that you make Krishna a cartoon character and therefore laughing stock. And hippy ideas shouldn't be used either. Whatever technique is there, make it realistic. That will be nice.” Srila Prabhupada letter (Aug 18, 1971)

So in your opinion Maharaja, what do you think should be the standard of a 'realistic' 2d animation of Krishna Consciousness subject matter nowadays? (Something like Ramayana: Legend of Prince Rama) Or likewise?

-Reilly

HpS - AGTSP  Pamho   I think Little Krsna and the Japanese Ramayana were of quality.   We have the BBT paintings as a standard.   The thing is that Little Krsna is fine for devotees who have read Prabhupada, but for new people it will mostly stay as how it is presented, no: The Legend Of Krsna?    Yet, it is a positive legend the are presenting.  Can think of good and bad aspects?

Bhvai canto 3 and 4

13 years, 3 months ago by harsh_horse in Other

Hare Krsna Maharaj, AGTSP,PAMHO,
we were thinking to write current letter for quite long time but were hesitant. maharaj one year back you gave us personal classes for 5 months in first year of Bhvai..

Can we still continue bhvai canto 3 and 4...

we can stil give our second semester deliverables to you.. my march end we can give all essays and exams....we know we are very late in saying this.. but you invested so much for your personal time on us, we think can atleast reciprocate by continuing the course. with you....

regards,
buffalo

HpS - AGTSP    This is interesting area. Should we have formal students and informal students in the BhVai classes.   We don't know how to mix this.   Right now we are in the planning stage.  Srivasa Pandita Das should have an announcement for registration soon.  We will discuss with him, but for sure you have BhSastri Program with Sri Hari Das.   As older Grhastha I think he will be super nice associacion for you in many ways.
