Answers to your questions about my last report

From Whatsapp:

HK GM PAMRO AGTSP


I'm writing to you just to let you know that 7-8 days ago I sent you a letter to the blog with the answers to the questions you had asked me in relation to my previous letter.


I have to tell you that finally I won't be able to go to Mexico now, I already notified my decision to your disciples Asta Sakhi DD and Lalita Gopi DD; I have more things to tell you, but I will wait at least 1 more week to write you again to the blog (or the time that you recommend me); I'm really sorry GM, but things didn't work out and my current economic context doesn't allow it, so it's not my time to travel, yet.


Thank you very much for everything GM, I just want to tell you before saying goodbye that your association is the most important thing for me in my life today,


See you on MNK WRRR BLG


HpS - Thank you so much for drawin our attention to your Blog post by Whatsapp.

We are trying to balance our work and were just getting to a long session of Blog posts after editing DTC-USA credits and guru-tattva.txt.


All glories to Srila Prabhupada!


Hare Krishna Maharaja!


PAMHO AGTSP!


I read in your report today that you are well and in good health or the best that can be expected in this material world, what a joy to know that you have energy to continue with your mission and expanding Srila Prabhupada's movement!


The truth is that I have not been completely well, I don't know if it's the withdrawal syndrome for having stopped smoking cannabis, and/or my chaotic mind that is difficult for me to calm down and control, my lustful desires, but for a few months I feel with little energy during the day and by night I feel very tired but anyway I cannot have a good time sleeping, I sleep but it seems I can't reach the level of deep sleep that allows me to rest adequately and renew my energy.


In any case, I continue doing sports, jogging and weights, a couple of times a week, and I eat well, helping myself with food supplements of B12, calcium, magnesium and creatine to train; and maintaining and developing good friendships with those around me, avoiding association with toxic people.

  

HpS - Jaya -- You only eat Prasadam? Keep looking for some adjustment, maybe our daily schedule, but as you don't find it, I would say that it is Krsna's arrangement, some natural situation, that you have low energy. Same thing happens to me and I used to try and eat really rich foods do drive my body with more energy and maybe it wokrked a little bit but the reaction later was bad. Now I just accept I am low energy and let it develope later. I think, as long as I can breath I can chant.


I'm writing to you now to answer the questions that you asked me in your response to my previous letter

 https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/13781/     


Part of some of these answers were already in my annual report https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/13722/



HpS - Jaya! Are you still growing Marajuana as a commercial crop?


This work that I do is not in fact a commercial crop, this type of crop here in Chile is classified as follows: collective self-cultivation for medicinal use. It's an NGO, non-profit foundation, whose objective is to cover the needs of the associates for their respective medical treatments.


People register sent by their treating doctor, they have to present the medical prescription and other documents that prove the need for the specific treatment that is being carried out under the supervision of a specialist doctor. Our model is based on the iconic NGO in Chile, https://greenlife.cl/, founded several years ago by a devotee disciple of H.H. Mahavishnu Swami, his institution is the 1st NGO of its kind to be authorized by the Judiciary Power of Chile to function without restrictions or obstacles, its experience constitutes one of the main elements of the jurisprudence that exists today in Chile in this regard.


HpS - Sounds nice!


This project in which I'm involved is the 2nd NGO that I have created (I resigned from the previous one called Sana Tierra). We are called now Prana Sana, we still don't have a website, and we work with the same lawyer from Green Life and from the main specialized NGOs in Chile, who is also a Hare Krishna, but isn't initiated, he is probably the best lawyer specialized in defense of medical cannabis users in Chile. Curiously, the Hare Krishna are highly respected and valued for their seriousness and professionalism in this field among Chilean and South American activists, doctors, lawyers, growers, users, etc.


During all the years that I've been working with medical cannabis, I've empirically verified the remarkable benefits that the use of medical cannabis can provide to children with autism through non-psychotropic resins and oils, high in cbd and low or zero in thc, as well as also people of all ages who suffer from painful diseases such as osteoarthritis, arthritis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, psoriasis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cancer, and others, and represents a very good option for those who prefer avoiding allopathic or traditional medicines that have so many unwanted side effects. There is a lot of documentation from great universities about it on the web and a lot of research is underway and the potential of cannabinoids remains an unexplored universe for modern science.


I want to clarify that I'm not defending the use of recreational cannabis or to get high or intoxicated, for the same reason I spend 5 months without smoking this February 17, but I do defend its medicinal use for specific treatments directed by a specialized doctor.


HpS - Remember reading one article that was accredited to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta where he said that marijuana may give you some different perspective on life if you are naturally conditioned to gross material consciousness but in the long run it has bad side effects. 


HpS - How is Rodrigo's family?


I visited Rodrigo's family during the last week of December. I brought them prasadam, we talked and shared for about 1 hour. Mrs. Yolanda, Rodrigo's mother, she is very tired, her disease is under control (a cancer that she managed to stop and didn't spread), but she has trouble walking so she spends most of her time lying down and resting; she is always sorry for the departure of her son.


Mr. Rolando, Rodrigo's father, is fine, working all day in the store, I saw him in good spirits. Claudio, Rodrigo's brother, is at home helping her mother by taking care of her, taking her to the bathroom, cooking, etc., and supporting her father in running the business. Rodrigo is sorely missed. They asked me about you, how is the Guru, so I told them about you and your stay in India and your trips preaching Krishna Consciousness around the world. They maintain Rodrigo's altar, which is now in the marriage bedroom, and with a Rodrigo's picture. They also maintain Rodrigo's office and his desk.

 

HpS - ASA -- So nice to hear. If you have contact with them, please ask them to tell us if they have any dreams from him etc.

Thank you.


HpS - How is your family?


My family is fine. Currently my mother, my sister Gita V DD and her husband Vishvanatha CTD, are in India doing the Dhatri tour. I've decided to take a long time away and avoid family relationships, because I believe and feel that distance and time are elements that provide healing when human relationships have become toxic. Of course I continue to relate to my mother and my father to some extent, one week ago we went with my daughter to visit my father in the south of Chile, and his recovery from the serious accident he suffered is a true miracle; and the harmonization of our relationship has been something that has brought me healing and relief in my mind and heart.


Thank God the relationship with my daughter is very good, currently she is working in the first vegan taqueria (mexican food) of Chile, cooking and serving the public, the owner is a friend of mine, a good boy with a wife and a daughter born a few months ago. Simultaneously, Belém continues studying vegan cooking and pastry and in March she will return to university to start her 2nd year of business administration. She is still with her soccer player boyfriend, they have been together for several years, he is a good boy and they love each other very much. My daughter and I have very good communication and we see each other often.



HpS - How is your career in Journalism?


I'm currently focused on the musical project that I told you about a few months ago. On the day of Nityananda Trayodasi I went to the department of intellectual protection in Chile to look for the registration certificate of the pseudonym that I will use and the authorization to use it: Sit Properly 108. By the Berne Convention it's protected in several countries, approximately 180, and the rights and royalties that will generates are inheritable up to 70 years after I leave this body. The project is about urban music with fusions of hip hop, soul, funk, gospel, oriental and experimental music, and the character is a Hare Krishna or Vaishnava singer and emcee, who sings about things that happen in the world, society, politics, romance, etc., from a spiritual and conscious approach, transmitting values and principles, in some songs using samples from Srila Prabhupada's classes and his voice, integrating mantras into the songs and other aesthetic resources of the Vaishnava culture, as devotional instruments and sounds and images; from the 7th song onwards, more and more philosophical and Vaishnava themes are included in the songs, quoting Srila Prabhupada's phrases and his books. As for the sound and visual aesthetics, which will include vintage or retro elements, a fundamental concept is the 1970s, which is the time when the A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's Hare Krishna movement exploded and Krishna consciousness spread all over the world and Srila Prabhupada lived it in all His glory.


Fortunately and only thanks to God and by the mercy of H.H. Hanumatpresaka Swami, after our conversation where you authorized me to use the pseudonym and to carry out this musical project, the people that I was needing to make up the high-level work team began to appear, that persons that I need to professionalize my style and deliver good quality music to the world. Currently my work team is made up of: Pablo Facusse, a friend of more than 15 years, a great Chilean musician, he helps me put my lyrics to music and we make the demos or music mockups, and also the record of the final takes for the voices, mix and master; Nicolás Libertad, one of the most influential musicians in Chile, actually settled in Eureka California for 10 years, music producer and beatmaker, in charge of producing the final instrumentals based on our demos (he lived in India for 3 years in Benares and Mumbai studying Sitar, he is very favorable and very skillful); César Augusto Pastrán, Venezuelan tenor and artistic director with 40 years of trajectory and extensive experience in Venezuela on radio, television and the academic world, a country from which he had to leave in 2018 for political reasons, his wife is a senior devotee dancer, he is my vocal coach and master of singing, we have been working together for almost 4 months and he has helped me improve remarkably; Parvati Devi Dasi, César's wife, a dancer of different Eastern and Western styles with 50 years of experience, she is my coach of body movement and coherent gestures based on my songs; Pablo Rosales, Chilean filmmaker, member of the board of TVN, the most important television station in Chile, managed by the state, he is the audiovisual director of my project. I still need a marketing and promoting team.


HpS - Wow! So much work. We had to scan the contents a little but we got a lot of the details!     


I keep posting photos and videos of your trips around India and the world on the social networks of the Anjana Suta Academy Chile, posts, reels and stories, you can review them in the links below:

HpS-ASA - Thank you.


Your disciple from Manipur Brajagopal Kshetriya Das has contacted me on instagram and has sent me via whatsapp photos and videos that he took during your stay there and I will post this material during the week.


I apologize to you for this long report, I tried to make it shorter but I wanted to adequately answer the questions you asked me.


Thank you very much for everything, Gurudeva, it's still not clear yet if I will be able to go to Mexico, so as soon as I have the final decision I will write to you again.


HpS - Yes, it would be nice if you or your representative could come from Chile!!


My greetings and obeisances to all the devotees there, Brihuega, Spain, especially to Dhruvananda Das, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!


Your would-be servant,

Carlos Rold.


¡HARE KRISHNA!

Ambo: DTC-Spain Movie

2 years, 2 months ago by Ambarisa Maharaja Das in Special Category A

Hare Krsna

AGTSP

ALL GLORIES TO YOU GURU DEV

PAMHO


We are the tower in the woods in Huerta Grande, Cordoba, Argentina.

We have obtained a good internet to work better and have more opportunities to serve in Sankirtan.


During this time we have been seeing all the material and edited 80% of the recorded material for the movie.

We will be able to finish the film during this time of your stay in Spain.

We need to make color and sound corrections, also adjust and see with you if the work done seems correct to you.

One thing is that in Spain a more descriptive story has been generated from the narrative from the actions and not so much from the reports of the interviews. I mean that it would naturally be a little different from the different stages (Peru and USA) that have already been recorded. and edited. We think it would be good to watch this film (in progress) to see if it's the right direction we're headed in.

thank you

happy to serve you in sankirtan Ambarisa Maharaja Das


HpS - AgtSP. You sent this almost two weeks ago and we are just able to read, comment and post it now!

That shows how much our Sankirtan is edited by our material attachment and the inherent contaminated nature of the material world.

Therefore we offer our obeidances to you as our example of sincere devotion in difficult circumstances.

Of course, you posted your edited work on private YouTube Channel and we watched it, made notes, and then sent a suggestion for a general script.

Then we talked, edited the general script and noted specific items that needed to be done for the next edit.

Anyone who wants to join the process can answer this Post and we will add them.

Also, if you think of any recording that needs to be done while we are here, then request it now. We are finishing our visit here.

Mostly we are in the mood of Hanuman returning from Lanks, giving report on the sea shore (NVM), ravaging Sugriva's fruit garden (Houston), making report to Rama (Mexico),

Respects Vrsnabhanu n. D. D., Hari vamsi et al.




Estamos en La torre del bosque en Huerta Grande Cordoba Argentina.

Hemos Obtenido una buena internet para trabajar mejor y tener mas oportunidades de servicio.

 la torre en el bosque


Durante este tiempo hemos esta viendo todo el material y editado un 80 % del material grabado para la película.

Podremos terminar la pelicula en este tiempo de su estadia en españa. 

Necesitamos hacer correcciones de color y sonido, tambien ajustar y ver con usted si el trabajo realizado le parece correcto. lo cierto es que en España se ha generado un relato mas descriptivo desde lo narrativo desde las acciones y no tanto desde los relatos de las entrevistas quiero decir que seria naturalmente un poco distinta a las diferentes etapas ( Peru y EEUU) que ya han sido grabadas y editadas. Creemos que seria bueno que viera este film en construccion para ver si es la direccion correcta en la cual nos dirijimos. 

muchas gracias 

feliz de servirlo in sankirtan Ambarisa Maharaja Das

Jiva Goswami Literature

2 years, 2 months ago by harsh_horse in Special Category A

Hare Krsna Master,

Please accept my mechanical and reverential obeisances.


We were reading TPP, it says "perfect goswami may not be perfect devotee".

it means "being goswami" is necessary but not sufficient condition to"perfect devotee".


We think we are still on (approaching ) level of NOI Verse 1. However we need to see a good drama, so we saw our life (thats mundane), we saw others life(thats also boring), so we were thinking of reading Lalita Madhava (LM).


Do your esteemed self and Supreme Absolute Undifferentiated ASA Commando, think it is okay for this horse to see this (LM) drama ?

Hayagriva Avatar Das


HpS... you, agtsp, will read it in Sanskrit?

Otherwise gotta read a translation.

Difficult to translate. So many subtle aspects. I think it is okay for you to try to read it.

Give us a review!
