Nayanamrta Das has us scheduled for morning SB classes 23rd, 25th, 28th and 30th of June. July is not yet scheduled.

Of course, we want to consider with Raula, Pablo et all about using these in our DTC video.

GBDD - Also Devender Krishna & Sumitra Radha Prabhus would like to do a program at their home. Would you be okay doing it on a Fri evening?


HpS/ASA - How delighful! As we mentioned in the previous post, Hari-lila Das has directed us to do a "NoI, Tava Pache Pache" seminar each Friday night.

So, Friday the 1st of July might be nice. If we get CoVid (##!) then that gives us two weeks to recover before the flight to Madrid, but should be outside in the fresh air with sufficient spacing etc, no?

Thank you!

BOEX: Evaluation

2 years, 12 months ago by hps in Special Category B

asa[e] - sastric studies


Our current suggestion for BhSastri etc. diploma evaluations:

I think many examination systems might work.


The one SP suggested seems to be a simple start-up system.


All along we have been stimulated by an immediate system which is two parts.

1. Multiple choice (including T/F) questions that can be graded by a machine and developed, and with those, a few fill-in-the-blank questions of like 25-characters max. 


Then the grader would just have to read the short answers (eg. who is Arjuna's father? "Indra") without struggling with handwriting etc.


2. Open book essay questions that the candidate would present before a panel of examiners and sample audience in like like ninety-minutes (eg. we give like 25-essay questions for each canto of which 15 are mandatory. Then the panel selects like five at the beginning of the 100-minute session, and from their written essays makes presentations, and answers questions.


Impossible to fake in that kind of situation, no?


Of course, a lot of details to be adjusted but basically like that.

Computerized multiple choice (25 character) questions and orally presented open book essay questions.

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias. 

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Muchas gracias por su infinita misericordia día a día.

En otra carta envío mi reporte personal, por acá continuamos con el tema de la visita a México con las novedades recientes.

Propuestas:

• Posibilidad de extender la visita por un mes

• Invitación a celebrar con nosotros el festival de Gaurapurnina, Lunes 6 de Marzo 2023


Hasta el momento tenemos la propuesta de la finca de prabhu Gadhadara Gosai y Ananda maya dd con importantes proyectos que vienen trabajando desde años pasados y que les gustaría dar más formalidad, tienen buenas propuestas que son motivo de otra carta para más detalles, en cuanto a la distancia con el aeropuerto, es una hora y media por carretera. 


Por otro lado hay inquietud de algunos hermanos espirituales por la distancia entre Monterrey y Ciudad de México en donde viven la mayoría de discipulos, surgió la propuesta de encontrar un lugar más cercano con las características para su Sankirtana. 

Por el momento no se han presentado propuestas contundentes, así que si Usted nos permite, por este medio queremos llegar a más miembros de ASA México, estamos esperando propuestas para poder avanzar en la organización con suficiente tiempo, pueden contactarnos por favor por cualquier duda.

Tratamos de valorar cada aporte y con sus bendiciones Gurumaharaja tener buena comunicación e inspirarnos unos con otros, al final del día los monos se reúnen con el resultado de Sankirtana... 


Gurumaharaja la prioridad es su salud y ser instrumentos para su Sankirtana, sabemos que los viajes son demasiado austeros, sin embargo, para despejar dudas es necesario preguntarle si su estancia en México sería en una única base o se contempla algún viaje en el interior?


Muchas gracias por ocupar nuestros pensamientos y esfuerzos en el servicio devocional. 


Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept our respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!


HpS - ASA --

Srila Prabhupada



Thank you very much for the infinite mercy of him day by day.

In another letter I send my personal report, here we continue with the topic of the visit to Mexico with the recent news.


Proposals:

• Possibility of extending the visit for a month.

ASA - 27 days. Ha! Ha! Hare. Little hard to fix details so far in advance.

• Invitation to celebrate with us the Gaurapurnina festival, Monday March 6, 2023

Possible. Need ticket details from Jayanta Das.




So far we have the proposal for the farm of prabhu Gadhadara Gosai and Ananda maya dd with important projects that they have been working on for years and that they would like to give more formality, they have good proposals that are the subject of another letter for more details, in terms of the distance from the airport is an hour and a half by road.


On the other hand, some spiritual brothers are concerned about the distance between Monterrey and Mexico City, where most of the disciples live. The proposal arose to find a closer place with the characteristics for their Sankirtana.


HpS - Seems like good idea.


At the moment, no compelling proposals have been presented, so if you allow us, by this means we want to reach more members of ASA Mexico, we are waiting for proposals to be able to advance in the organization with enough time, you can contact us please for any questions.


HpS - ArtDas et al had to look so hard until Nitya-kishori Devi Dasi found opportunity for stay in hacienda de papas de su amiga.

Abajo de un arbol?


We try to value each contribution and with his blessings Gurumaharaja have good communication and inspire each other, at the end of the day the monkeys meet with the result of Sankirtana...


Gurumaharaja's priority is his health and to be instruments for his Sankirtana, we know that travel is too austere, however, to clear up any doubts, it is necessary to ask him if his stay in Mexico would be on a single base or would he contemplate a trip to the interior?


HpS - Seems single base is best. Hare Krsna village.


Thank you very much for engaging our thoughts and efforts in devotional service.

Your eternal would-be servant

Asta Sakhi dd


HpS - Krsna

very

attentive

to

the

situation

of Srila

Prabhupada's

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

please accept my obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada


I wish that everything is going well in your sankirtan. I am currently living with my uncles in a place called Villa Alemana, it is an hour from the institute, which is in Viña del Mar. A few days ago my uncle Marco Silva left his body, so I have had to accompany my aunt and Cousins ​​here, life is very harsh when we lose a loved one, that's how this world works, birth and death.


ASA - Hare Krsna!!! Arjuna didn't even want to kill EVIL family members!


I'm fine, I'm happy to read mother Guru Govinda's letter. I don't think my reintegration into the community of devotees will be quick, but I'm sincere and I know that this process is correct. I want to serve, thanks to the association of devotees I have been able to experience drops of the nectar of serving Guru and Krishna and I want to dedicate myself to the process. Away from the devotees it has been very difficult, there is no strength, I need push to continue enthusiastic, I have been very low in my devotion, but I have remained stable with my rounds and my principles after stabilizing myself from my psychotic crisis.


TB - I think maybe Krsna and Radha cry a little hear you effort. Really appreciate how much pain your slip caused others and take it as impetus to pray to Krsna to adjust everything!!!

Yes, "There is no mistake we can make that we cannot rectify", Rama said to Laksmana as we remember.


I don't know how much he resists being so far from the devotees, sometimes I think of living in the Cabildo and preaching there, but nobody is a prophet in his land, said Jesus. The good thing is that there I have the security that my family gives me, regarding my condition, but I would like to return to Santiago to be closer to the devotees, and well, I also have travel karma, so the trips will also come in my life. In short, I have realized that I am very dispersed, the bipolar thinks one thing and then another, we do not know how to find the midpoints.


HpS - By chanting HK.HR at the feet of Srila Prabhupada.


I have distributed books in high school, at a book fair, and also to teachers and classmates. I also recently went to the nearby subway and distributed some books there, and I dedicated that offering to my uncle for his benefit.


A famous singer came to the institute and I went to give her some books, since she is a lover of Indian music, she was very happy with her.


I think my sankirtan is oriented towards artistic expressions, preaching to artists so that they can bring others closer to Krishna with their art (In high school I learned that Kandinsky has a book that relates art to spirituality). Do you think that this be my way to preach?


HpS - You can certainly try it!!! Go ahead.


I am preparing myself to start my musical and artistic career soon, I wish I could be useful to you and Srila Prabhupada with my art.


I am also doing puja on my altar, but I have not been very correct with the schedule, I am not being very regulated.


I am struggling with sleeping and eating, I am a godasa, servant of the senses. I am sleeping a lot and eating a lot. If I can't consume toxic substances, I get drunk with food and sleep, I'm a rogue.


HpS - ... but a civilized rogue!


Of the songs of the Acaryas are ready: Udilo Aruna and Narada Muni Bajay Vina, I chose the latter since you several times name it as a song that Prabhupada has quoted in full in one of its meanings, and I based on that comment for adapt it to the Spanish version.


Could you give me a list of songs that you would like me to work on? Please Gurudeva, it is very important to me.


HpS - ASA - Let us hear these two first, please.


PS: The letter you wanted me to delete is this: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/12562/?query=urgente+privado


ASA - Puffff! Gone!!!


Thank you very much Gurudeva, I have thought if in 2024 I can travel to see you in India, it is something that I think from time to time, but I do not want to bother whoever is there or bother you.


HpS - Maybe India!! Trip starts here. Paoho. More work to do. We all have so many violent crimes to pay for.

Looking at photo of your Uncle we chant one Maha-mantra!!!!

Try to do more.


Well that, all glories to Srila Prabhupada and you.

Your servant Piyari Mohan das

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis reverencias 

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada


Deseo que todo esté marchando bien en su sankirtan. Actualmente estoy viviendo con mis tíos en un lugar llamado Villa Alemana, queda a una hora del instituto, el cual queda en Viña del Mar. Hace unos días abandonó su cuerpo mi tío Marco Silva, por lo que me ha tocado acompañar a mi tía y primos aquí, la vida es muy cruda cuando perdemos un ser querido, así funciona este mundo, nacimiento y muerte. 


Yo estoy bien, contento de leer la carta de madre Guru Govinda, no creo que mi reinserción en la comunidad de devotos sea rápida, pero tengo sinceridad y sé que este proceso es el correcto. Quiero servir, gracias a la asociación de los devotos he podido experimentar gotas del néctar del servicio a Guru y Krishna y quiero dedicarme al proceso. Lejos de los devotos ha sido muy difícil, no hay fuerza, necesito empuje para seguir entusiasta, he estado muy bajo en mi devoción, pero me he mantenido estable con mis rondas y mis principios luego de estabilizarme de mi crisis psicótica.


No se que tanto resista estar tan lejos de los devotos, a veces pienso en vivir en Cabildo y allí predicar, pero nadie es profeta en su tierra dijo Jesús. Lo bueno es que allí tengo la seguridad que me entrega mi familia, respecto a mi condición, pero a mi me gustaría volver a Santiago para estar más cerca de los devotos, y bueno, también tengo karma viajero, así que los viajes vendrán también en mi vida. En definitiva me he dado cuenta que soy muy disperso, el bipolar piensa una cosa y después otra, no sabemos encontrar los puntos medios.


He distribuido libros en el instituto, en una feria del libro, y también a profesores y compañeros. También hace poco fui al metro cercano y allí distribuí algunos libros, y esa ofrenda se la dediqué a mi tío para su beneficio. Vino una cantante famosa al instituto y fui para entregarle unos libros, ya que ella es amante de la música de la India, estaba muy contenta.


Creo que mi sankirtan está orientado a las expresiones artísticas, a predicarle a los artistas para que ellos acerquen a otros a Krishna con su arte ( En el instituto aprendí que Kandinsky tiene un libro que relaciona el arte con la espiritualidad).¿Cree usted que este sea mi camino para predicar? 


Estoy mentalizándome para comenzar pronto mi carrera musical y artística, deseo poder ser útil a usted y a Srila Prabhupada con mi arte.


Estoy también haciendo puja en mi altar, pero no he sido muy correcto con el horario, no estoy siendo muy regulado.


Estoy luchando con el dormir y el comer, soy un godasa, sirviente de los sentidos. Estoy durmiendo mucho y comiendo mucho. Si no puedo consumir sustancias tóxicas, me embriago con la comida y las horas de sueño, soy un pícaro. 


De las canciones de los Acaryas ya están listas: Udilo Aruna y Narada Muni Bajay Vina, esta última la elegí ya que usted varias veces la nombra como una canción que Prabhupada a citado completa en uno de sus significados, y me basé en ese comentario para adaptarla a la versión en español. 


¿Podría usted darme un listado de canciones que a usted le gustaría que yo trabajara? Por favor Gurudeva, es muy importante para mi.


PD: La carta que quería que borrara es esta: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/12562/?query=urgente+privado


Muchas gracias Gurudeva, he pensado si en el 2024 pueda viajar a verlo a India, es algo que pienso cada cierto tiempo, pero no quiero incomodar a quién esté allí ni tampoco incomodar a usted. 


Bueno, eso, todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a usted.

Por favor acepte mis rendidas reverencias

Todas las Glorias al muy misericordioso Srila Prabhupada

Y todas las Glorias a usted.


Gracias por su respuesta anterior, ahora me permito contestar:

1- Por favor discúlpeme, su sirviente Karuna-Sakti DD no cuenta con ningún “estimado protector”, pero Abhinanda Das Prabhu (Quien es miembro clave de ASA Carnaval) puede recibir copia de los correos que usted envié.

Los correos finales son:

[email protected] | [email protected] |[email protected]


2- Como usted sugiere; Twitter parece ser un buen sistema para publicar los enlaces. (Ya lo hemos probado anteriormente).

Debido a que Goto tarda en procesar el video; Una opción podría ser que al finalizar cada encuentro usted comparta el enlace de descarga de la clase del día anterior, de esta manera estaremos atrasados únicamente por un par de días máximo.


HpS - Thank you so much for this letter. So much. We are having pressure to do so, so, many things now that only those devotees whose Utsahan (enthusiasm) manifest Niscayad (determination) will be able to engage HpS, Tom Brown and Buck White.

a) Yes, we can try to look for the class link of the previous day after the end of the current day!

b) When you write individual notes to us just include a copy to your "Shelter" [picture attached]


*Para nosotros, todos los encuentros iluminan de manera particular el mensaje de Srila Prabhupada, aun cuando en ocasiones el tema central es el mismo surgen preguntas o comentarios muy importantes que nos señalan diferentes perspectivas de predica y aplicación personal. (Quizá podemos hacer una compilación de esas preguntas / comentarios)


3- Preguntaremos por los PPTX después del Kapi Dhvaja. 😊 ¿Dónde podemos localizar los de esta quincena?

ASA-TB - Send us a request in the Blog with notice that you sent one to Whatsapp also on Ekadasi and we and Uncle Gismo's Robot should send them to you. Hare Krsna, HK, KK, HH//HR, HR RR HH!

4- Revivimos al conocer que México fue incluido en su agenda, Muchas gracias.

Gracias por todos sus esfuerzos, para guiarnos en el camino dejado por Srila Prabhupada.
