Urgente Letter from Yugala Kishor

1 year, 11 months ago by candra108_mukhi in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hk pamho querido Guru Maharaja

Ayer fue un día muy bonito, empecé adorar a Jaganatha medianito, tengo mi JBS en minitura Ud. las conoce, ahora crecieron creo que Subadra estaba muy contenta. Así que mi vida sigue como pujarina como en nueva Govardhan, solo adoración en las mañanas, noche acostarlas, las cambio a las deidades grandes una vez por semana son prestadas, y a mis Gaura Nitai siempre. Por el momento estoy distribuyendo libros, estudiando el SB sistemáticamente para sacar el título BV, me da mucha felicidad hacer ensayos, escribir es lo mío. Y estoy avanzando los planes de lo que conversamos en Mexico. Espero en un futuro servir con mi intelecto, pido sus bendiciones para tener éxito en ese propósito.

Fue muy buena la venida de Prabhu Navina Nirada, nos dio muchas ideas, el grupo de harinama, junto con Prabhu Kolaveca, Caturatma y otros, decidimos incursionar en predica universitaria, empezaremos en San Marcos, donde Ud. abrió las puertas y hay varios contactos. Tenemos un plan, vemos que Krsna está facilitando todo, por ello, una vez que el proyecto esté por escrito, deseamos tener una reunión virtual con Ud. para que nos dé más luces e ideas. Ello puede ser la próxima semana con el grupo, espero le sea posible, una reunión grupal por zoom o gotomeeting pienso que una hora es más que suficiente.

Mientras no trabaje estaré haciendo viajes cortos. Estuve en Chile unas semanas, moría por asociación y servicio, aprendí mucho, vi a Srinat en su bhakti vrksa, Krsna me bendijo mucho, hizo su magia, me cumplió muchos deseos que abrigaba en mi corazón, me encanta la nueva generación liderada por miembros de ASA, con su frescura, educación, actitud de servicio y entusiasmo lideran el templo de Carrera. Siempre traerán invitados Gurus, líderes para motivar a los devotos que por lo general tienen un público juvenil.

Me quedo a la espera de su respuesta, para informar al grupo de Harinama, que se llama Bhakti yoga. Después del ayuno seco estoy algo cansada pero muy purificada. A veces falla mi señal de internet, estoy ideando un plan para organizar mejor mi tiempo, que sea más productivo para mi crecimiento personal. Es muy divertido ser brahmacarini, a veces en el templo, otras fuera, siempre sirviendo, siempre agradecida y libre para predicar.

Haribolo

HK, pamho dear Guru Maharaja


Yesterday was a very beautiful day, I started to adore Jaganatha at a medium age, I have my JBS in miniature, you know them, now they have grown up, I think Subadra was very happy. So my life continues as pujarina as in New Govardhan, only worship in the morning, bed at night, I change Them to the great deities once a week, they are borrowed, and to my Gaura Nitai always.


At the moment I am distributing books, studying the SB systematically to obtain the BV title, it gives me great happiness to do essays, writing is my thing.


And I am advancing the plans of what we talked about in Mexico. I hope in the future to serve with my intellect, I ask for your blessings to succeed in that purpose.


The visit of Prabhu Navina Nirada was very good, he gave us many ideas, the Harinama group;


Together with Prabhu Kolaveca, Caturatma and others, we decided to venture into university preaching,

we will start in San Marcos,

where you opened the doors and there are several contacts .


We have a plan, we see that Krsna is facilitating everything, therefore, once the project is written, we want to have a virtual meeting with you so that you can give us more insights and ideas.


This could be next week with the group, I hope it is possible, a group meeting by zoom or gotomeeting, I think that one hour is more than enough.


HpS - You can see that our donkey moves rather slowly now, but with great perspective. I also hope we can meet soon.


While I'm not working I'll be making short trips.

I was in Chile for a few weeks, I was dying for association and service, I learned a lot.


I saw Srinat in his Bhakti vrksa.


Krsna blessed me a lot, He worked his magic, He fulfilled many wishes that I had in my heart.


I love the new generation led by members de ASA, with their freshness, education, attitude of service and enthusiasm, lead the temple of Carrera.


They will always bring Gurus guests, leaders to motivate the devotees who usually have a youthful audience.


I am waiting for your response, to inform the Harinama group, which is called Bhakti yoga.


After the dry fast I am somewhat tired but very purified.


Sometimes my internet signal fails, I am devising a plan to better organize my time, to be more productive for my personal growth.


It is so much fun to be a Brahmacarini, sometimes in the temple, sometimes outside, always serving, always grateful and free to preach.

HpS/ASA - Very nice. Soon you will have no material body. Even if it appears in the physical world.

Soon we will play with Krsna.

I Send you my number

My obeisances dear gurudeva. 


I don't have a USA phone number, I send you my number (Mexico) +52 55 [.... ]

Maybe we can communicate by WhatsApp or have contact with mother Subra on Whatsapp.


 I read your post on Kaphi Dvaja and the project in Nashville has become clearer to me. You have always emphasized teacher training and now the education experts could come together and work together. I think it's wonderful. We hope to hear more about the project in Nashville, maybe more devotees are interested in joining.  


Thank you very much for your constant efforts.


 Your servant Gopi Radha DD.


HpS/ASA - Thank you!

Pasted your number "Vidagdha - Gopi-radha Devi Dasi" in ASA Elite S23 Samsong cell phone. It will show up if we all need to discuss particular details by Whatsapp with you and the Vidagdha!

This photograph reveals a smile and great satisfaction from Franco that he achieved after much disappointment, heartache and disenchantment (due to what happened to the first deities he carved). please Gurudeva bless him so that he remains enthusiastic and advances in his spiritual life.

Had very nice discussion with H. G. Mathuresa Das.

Nitai is professional cyclist, and oldest daughter is a Mother in Oregon.


Talked a little about the administrative conflicts in Peru, and we commented that for us:

first is our personal relationship with Srila Prabhupada,

second that ISKCON is meant for cultivating our frienships

third is dealing with each other institutionally.


He said, "Certainly".


So, many managment details have passed. We see that very nice people have rather different ideas of what the political reality has been.


Getting some resolution on those requires professional work, but Mathuresa Prabhu says that the GBC appointee, Hansarupa Das, comments that he has too much to do, so he does not know how long it will be before he can visit.


Talking with Mathuresa Das,

everyone is welcome at Mangala arati, Japa, SB Class in the Miraflores Temple.


Gita-govinda Das, Candra-mukhi Devi Dasi, ArtD et al.


Why not start going?

  • Together.
  • Individually.
  • Every day, once a month.

Visiting Boise

1 year, 11 months ago by hps in Special Category A, Calendar Development

ArD WhatsApp:

BNA to Boi Sept 18 [Mon] SW flight leaves at 8:20 AM arrives at 4:45 PM. $161 per person; 

Boi to BNA on 27 [Wed] SW flight leaves at 5:45 Am arrive BNA at 1:20 PM $161.


I will come on Sept 15 on Delta flight that will get in 6:20 PM.


Nitisaar prabhu wants to escort you back to Nashville from Boi on 27th.


Please look it over, I will call you in 30 minutes if that is okay.


These are all reduced fares. Nitisaar prabhu would like to serve you for a day more (until you leave for Richmond) if that is okay with you.


HpS/ASA:

Thank you for the call et al. As we discussed, this seems like nice arrangement.

We have three months now to work out details of a nice program.

We don't have any proposal from RichMond.


I was thinking about the Rathayatra, and it seems it could absorb too much time? The visit is short and if there is too much kitchen, cart construction, festival site setup, then we won't have time to sit together individually and collectively.

We'll post this all in the Blog to see what is the opinion of the other frogs

Thank you.


ARD

IMHO, The chariot is already sitting in the shed. Your presence will bring excitement, fervor and unity, and extra devotees to have a nice festival.

You will be here for eight days.

If we spend 2 days for Ratha Yatra there are still 6 days for individual and group ishagoshtis.

Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!


Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to each message. Here are my responses to your esteemed questions 🙏.


1) PhD:

Here are 4 ideas that we have been brainstorming for PhD:


🐸 ASA - Wow! Too much detail for a 75-year-old brain cell! We scan them and give our best shot. Ribbit!


A) Ancient Indian Classical Dance and Mental Health Applications, PhD in Performing Arts from The Julliard School, NY


🐸 Too complicated. You don't know enough about physiology and endocrinology.


B) Psychotherapy through Ancient Indian Classical Dance, PhD in Psychology from Stanford, Harvard etc


ASA - Sounds like the first one. Real thing is you need to find a mentor at the university who can evaluate your talents and then set a practical thesis etc. for you. Big name schools, Harvard and Stanford eg. Are almost always colored by big business. Which means pharmaceutical medicine.


C) Dramaturgy in Cinema and Mental Health Applications, PhD in Cinematic Arts from USC

ASA - Huh!? Seem the same. We have so much stuff going that understanding any details of any program to make detailed decisions is not possible. Right now Dr. Samaresh is waiting for us to review Solaris 7, and in 26-minutes the BOEX meeting starts.

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.


D) Impact on Mental Health by Supplementing Modern Cinema with Elements of Ancient Indian Dramaturgy. PhD in psychology from UCLA

PhD in psychology might help in preaching. People might take it more seriously and the earnt laxmi can be used in film-making. UCLA is about 3rd place in both cinema and dramatic arts. I might be able to take useful courses in both discplines while getting psychology degree.

In my proposal I could begin with greek medicine; Hippocrates talking about mixture of bodily humors producing behavior; controlling secretion of humors through mind; establish ’drama’ as therapy (SE somatic experience, FR fantastic reality, CBT, NLP etc), proceed to Aristotle, vs Bharata. Then after quoting my research results of Ancient Indian Dramaturgy’s effects on my IIT students (survey based) I can propose the benefits of creating films using emotion centric stories (from India)?


ASA - Had to scan through the above. Is very detailed. First thing, again, is to find a faculty advisor you can work with. If they exist.

Our perspective would on the history of cinema and its impact on society eg. Battleship Potemkin


https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=c99bbc8990dbca26JmltdHM9MTY4Njc4NzIwMCZpZ3VpZD0xNTI1Yzc5Ny01YmFkLTZhYjgtMDExZi1kNmY2NWE3ODZiZTEmaW5zaWQ9NTQ0OA&ptn=3&hsh=3&fclid=1525c797-5bad-6ab8-011f-d6f65a786be1&psq=battleship+potemkin+britannica+encyclopedia&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYnJpdGFubmljYS5jb20vdG9waWMvQmF0dGxlc2hpcC1Qb3RlbWtpbiM6fjp0ZXh0PUJhdHRsZXNoaXAlMjBQb3RlbWtpbiUyQyUyMFJ1c3NpYW4lMjBCcm9uZW5vc2V0cyUyMFBvdHlvbWtpbiUyQyUyMFNvdmlldCUyMHNpbGVudCUyMGZpbG0lMkMsYXMlMjBhJTIwbWFzdGVycGllY2UlMjBvZiUyMGludGVybmF0aW9uYWwlMjBjaW5lbWEuJTIwQmF0dGxlc2hpcCUyMFBvdGVta2lu&ntb=1


Or The Great Dictator.

Then use that for your Sankirtan. Of course, that is our perspective. May not be too much use to you as as Siksa for your Sankirtan.


2) Publications/Research.

Yes Maharaj, IIT Mandi Director Dr. Lila Purushottam (The General of the army) has an entire team of researchers doing phds on various Indian Knowledge Systems (yoga, odissi, pranayama, yoga nidra, mantra meditation, kirtan etc) for Mental Health Applications (IKSMHA). Because it is an IIT they have almost every resource in India available. This topic is interesting to me and they are also paying me to teach and monitor results on enrolled students and they will give me the monitoring equipment (Captain of classical dance).

One paper has already been published on heart rate variability and Odissi, conducting tests on my 300 class students. Tests showed a reduction in stress in students after Odissi class. Because of suicide rates in India, student mental health is being seen as important. This HRV correlation with Odissi paper has been accepted in a conference in Italy.

Being first author in this research, will be useful for phd applications. I know preaching efforts usually don’t get funding because we go against Maya Devi 🙏. But somehow some little window of service opportunity is opening up here for time being 🙏. I hope it’s worth while. Also I’m very happy to work with Dr. Ravi Singh and NIOS as well if they are open. A lady (from Nashville in Geriatric care) on the plane overheard me on this research topic and was so interested she asked me to share more.


ASA - Ask Lila and his crew about this line of work! Contact Dr. Ravi directly. Let us know the results😃


3) Film-making:


HpS/ASA - Here we have to stop! 😅 All our brain cell can handle for one letter. Doctor limits our academic work each day or else we will have brain hemorrhage.

Please use us properly.

HpS - ASA



... Yes Maharaj, I’m building my community beginning with Yogi from Houston. He’s quite enthusiastic and guiding me, he has a lot of contacts with Hollywood as well. I have shared with your esteemed self the first draft of the pitch deck on WhatsApp (it’s missing few slides, work in process).

I’ve also reached out to devotee film makers. Of course after I enrol there I can also build my own community of contacts.


Sanskrit verses: Maharaj you were suggesting you had some ppts made for festivals that you wanted to share with me to guide my dance productions 🙏. You mentioned there are selected verses in those ppts. Hence it was in that context I asked. As the film is evolving and we are approaching various sponsors, I’m adapting the content of the film also.


I just met with DG ICCR Delhi, Tuhin Kumar, he is interested in empanelling our theatre production group and taking our Ramayan on North America tour after Dec.


4) Kalaripayattu diploma starting in July from Kalarigram (Indian martial arts).
