Lil’ Krishna Kidz – Bay Area

Lil' Krishna Kidz is an innovative program started in the San Francisco, California, Bay Area. It aims to provide an enriching, and all around education for kids, with special focus on teaching the glories of the profoundly rich, spiritual, culture and tradition of India. The South Bay Area, also known as the Silicon Valley, is a global center for technological innovations, and the“Lil Krishna Kidz” program is unique in its approach to teach the timeless Vedic wisdom in a fun and scientific way.

The program was started in April of 2011 with the guidance of H. H. Hanumatpreshaka Maharaj, who regularly visits the Bay Area. Maharaja is always inspiring us in making lasting changes in the world through the medium of education. Maharaj is the founder of the Anjana Suta Academyand not only engages himself in deep study of the Vedic literatures, but also specializes in presenting the Bhagavata Culture to others in systematic and scientific way. For more information about Maharaj’s transcendental activities, please visit his web-site www.jayarama.us

We organize regular classes to teach children Bhagavad Gita, Vaishnava Bhajans, Spiritual Stories based on Ramayanaand Mahabharata, narrations of the Glory of India, Arts & Crafts in connection with Krishna Consciousness, Dance Lessons and engaging Games.Right now we have three dynamic and dedicated teachers; Ananda Vrndavan Devi Dasi, Bhavani, & Aparna who, besides engaging in the most important service, teaching the Kids, also focus on developing our course curriculum. Bali-mardana, Hari-guru, and Vrndavan-priya Das’, instrumental in forming this group, with the mission of improving systematic spiritual education in the Bay Area, are assisting in various capacity:  Out-reach to parents, advertising campaigns and other miscellaneous services. Currently this program is being conducted in different cities in the Bay Area on weekends. In the long term, we envision a full fledged weekend school, specifically focused on imparting spiritual culture and value education for the Bay area kids.

At the annual 2011 ISKCON San Francisco, Golden Gate Park, Ratha Yatra, Lil’ Krishna Kidzput on an excellent dance performance with the song “Choti Choti Gayya, Chote Chote Gwal…” as well as recitation of the Jagannathastakam.  Similarly Lil Krishna Kidzset up a booth at the India Independence Day festival in the Bay area and distributed children books profusely. At the end of 2011, we plan to organize “Lil’ Krishna Kidz Competition” events in the Bay area. Engaging the children through such educational and cultural programs is one definite way of also introducing their parents to the sublime and practical process of Krishna Consciousness.

Hare Krsna, AGTSP paoho Thank you for the Issue on Celibacy. We are so, so busy with our BhVai courses. We scanned the issue. A technical note. For us the font size is a little small. Of course, we are 63 years old also.

The artilcles were pretty good. A lot of the news was redundant for us, maybe you could put it into some kind of groupings like that: Introduction to VAD, VAD Basics, Fine Tunning the Concept, Practical Experiences. We were most attracted to the bio-data for Maharaja.

Our good Doctor Rey Gomez commented that he didn't see anything about Ayurvedic physiology of B'caria. Is true that at the time of puberty as the male body remains celebate the ojas (mixture of prana etc.) flows upwards year after year until it hits the brain and fertilizes developement of very fine cerebral tissues? A boy does not devlop a full male nervous system if he passes semen one time before he reaches 25 years.

In femal body at puberty with monthly hemorraging the ojas flows down and outward so very fine skin and other tissues develop. Thus girls develop fine aesthetic sensibilities and the intelligence to manipulate them.

Thank you very much, 

HpSwami - Anjana Suta Academy

Hare Krsna,

Please accept our humble obeisances.   Here we are in New Vraja Mandala, Brihuega, Spain, again, after weekend in Barcelona.   Three nights, three programs, busy all day.

The Ave back to here ar 300KM/hour and immediate programs with the Graduation ceremony for the Institute for BV Studies.

We just finished answering all of our Blog letters and most of the Yahoo letters. Got 13 letters in the Disciple box there.

Now we will work on the Kapi Dhvaja and get read for the seminar 6PM to 7PM and 8PM to 9PM.  I hope we will have a projector. Maybe we can do it all on WebEx.

There is a baby crying below in the Castle patio.   Iccha dvesa samuttena... "I am God, I will annhilate you all with my rage unless you satisfy my mind's desires". All glories to Vaisnava Mothers and Fathers. They can help us to escape this illusion from the moment of our conception!!!!!

O.K.   We are mad.  We have 19 rounds done.

Tom Brown is going to kill everyone who doesn't spend three hours riding bicycles everyday.  God!   Please give us some service to do!    Without out that we die!!!!!

We should take some Prasadam. We are tired.    Our work schedule seems pretty good.  We have given up on 90% of our work and are just chanting Hare Krsna and doing what comes more naturally on that basis.    What we see is that everyone, even the biggest guys, are just as disorganized as we are. Maybe we are more aware of our deficiencies and not promulgating them.  So, it is O.K. to stick to this standard:

Chant Hare Krsna and be Happy!

See you in the Kapi Dhvaja.

Thank you so much for your association!

HpS - ASA -   Jaya.   TlgaSP.   pfanrh.   Puede leer nuestra idea de Guru en:

www.jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt

Basicamente no estamos presentandonos mas que servientes de nuestra Acharya, Srila Prabhupada. Seguimos el estandard para Madhyama-adhikari y los formalidades de tomar puesto de acharya en ISKCON. Hay detalles en esta documento. Puede ser bien si alguien traduzca al Castellano.   Como yo puedo entender esta en el super.  Esta una persona, muy, muy, muy afortunado.  Ya puede convertir otros afortundados.

 GURUMAHARAJA, mis respetuosas reverencias:

Estamos en Tacna, es una bonita instruccion, tomando el ejemplo es 3 rondas cada dia para 8 dias y algunas lento, no todos los dias ahora en estas ultimas semanas estamos trabajando en cuanto al los principios, cada vez que nos encontramos con los objetos de los sentidos recordamos que debo mantener ese principio no porque es maya, sino para avanzar en la vida espiritual, con la motivacion de recibir ese placer tracendental, y obtener el servicio devocional puro para complacer a Krishna en Goloka, que es nuestra unica felicidad, yo entendia varias cosas mas, lo recuperare inmediatamente cuando encuentre esa comunidad, mi querido gurumaharaja no buscare perfecciones, solo deseo una comunidad donde sea estusiasta en el kirtan, el baile y la predica, por eso era necesario mangalartik, goura artik, es sutil busco ese estandar.En cuanto a los dibujos ayer tubimos un previo recuerdo de sus ojos, ya estan sus cabellos, el perfil de su rostro, no me acorde de las cejas, las copie de la deidad del templo, Chosica, todavia falta acordar sus labios no tengo idea quisiera volver a soñarlo, tampoco puedo dibujarlo tal como lo vi pero quiza haremos unos dibujos mas dibujos.

Segimos con el tratamiento, unos dias y se termina, adios tratamiento, no encuentran nada grave, solo un malestar, malos aires en la cabeza, mala circulacion de oxigeno al cerebro, paños y gotitas medicinales elaboradas, eso es todo, el medico analiza debido a golpes¡¡¡ 

HpS - ASA ---  Jaya!     TlgaSP!!!     Jaya!                        Muchas gracias su carta!!!          Esta practicando un poco Pranayama mientras canta su Japa?   Para Vd. puede ser super.    Cantando el numero de Mantras maximo, bueno, que puede, unos sin aire en los pulmones, pero la lingua y mandible moviendo, e despues inspirando por el nasil derecho.  Puede cerar la izquierda con su dedo. Pruebalo!
