[FMP PC = Red boat] ASA Carnaval report

3 years, 1 month ago by asacarnaval in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Hare Krsna, dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our respectful obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada


ASA - All glories to Srila Prabhupada. He never stops helping us inspite of our hipocrisy and vanity.

 

Grateful for all the effort you make to involve us in your Sankirtana.

I write as part of the ASA Carnaval team, to send our activity report:

 

OBJECTIVES:

*Promote the systematic study of Srila Prabhupada's Books.

*Provide interested parts with an organized cluster of; Classes, conferences, photographic memories and archives that H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami has shared with us through different media, on different dates and locations.

*Our intention is to bring together the SS HPS material published by different media, to facilitate the search for those interested.

 

PLATFORMS:

*Our main platform is Facebook ─ Because this network is easily accessible for most of the interested persons and doesn´t imply an additional cost of mobile data.

https://www.facebook.com/asacarnaval

*ISSUU ─ Platform for digital magazines, for the dissemination of written material.

https://issuu.com/asacarnavalhps

 

ACTIVITIES:

* Re-Transmission live from Facebook, of the regular classes of the ASA, FMP and FEP. (All classes include the basic description of the content).

* When it comes to seminars or classes on the same topic; are organized into playlists.

* Editing and publishing of files written by SS HPS.

* Publication of photographs, sent by Vaisnava correspondents in the different yatras that SS HPS`s visits.

* General SS HPS`s phrases (always taking care of the context of the instruction and we add date and source for consultation of those interested)

 

CHALLENGES:

1- CHALLENGE - “Too much content, not organized”

SOLUTION - We have created a table of contents. It is a Database that includes a general description of our content. We send link for review: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wwrOywwqci1IEkJsz3s055t0bGLIqRbj/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=106345441462837247827&rtpof=true&sd=true

We are currently working on a Glossary of topics included in each class: Example (Varna Asrama Dharma, Administration, Guru Tattva, etc…)


HpS - ASA - Exactly! This is why we have not tried to publish too much our our lectures etc. For it to be useful there has to be editing and indexing. We are just trying to inspire people to find Srila Prabhupada in his books, not replace them!!! Thank you.

 

2- CHALLENGE – “Transmission quality”

We have detected some recurring errors:

*Late broadcast start – This occurs when the gotomeeting session opens and class immediately begins. Suggested Solution: Maybe we could log in a few minutes before the class starts.

* Partial or total loss due to power outages – Sometimes we lose the transmission due to power outages in the transmitter's region. Sometimes Srinivasa-Acarya Das Prabhu provides us with the gotomeeting recordings and we rescue the class. In others, due to his occupations, it has been impossible for him. Suggested Solution: Perhaps one of our team members can access the recording directly.


HpS/ASA - Many times record the broadcasts, but since no one asks us for them we don't find and share the links.


*Tests during the Broadcast – Occasionally, some first-time exhibitors spend some tutorships to get connected or manage the platform. Suggested Solution: Perform pre-tests (so far, we've done them with free gotomeeting. However; controls vary substantially)

 

3- CHALLENGE – “Sanctions for Copyright or others”

*When Facebook detects music or videos that infringe copyrights, or contain advertising, it removes or mutes the videos. Examples: “Govinda - The Radha Krsna Temple (London)”, some by Ilan Chester, among others. The risk is that they block the page for a few days. Suggested Solution: Avoid using these tracks during broadcasts, classes, seminars, etc.

 

RESULTS:

In summary; According to the statistics provided by Facebook, the results of the last month are:

*The page has 1,400 Followers.

Of them, 417 - They are active followers (That is, they watch and share some classes)

While 146 are recurring viewers. (That is, they regularly attend full classes)

*On the other hand, the 5-minute "Views" exceed 1,500 views.

*Referring to Phrase images (from Twitter, Blog, Kapi Dhvaja) these exceed 500 interactions on average.

* Audience

Spanish speaking 88%

English speaking 12%

(These results are similar to those returned monthly by the page during the previous year.)

 

PROJECTS

*We started uploading all the videos we have to our YouTube page of ASA Carnaval, our main intention is to generate a backup of all the content.

*Development of Glossary of Topics by classes.

*We are working on the translation of the “DTC” files that Prabhu Srinatha Krsna Dasa shared a long time ago on Drive.

*We are working on the translation of different PPT presentations, accumulated over the years.

* Project – Subtitle some videos in Spanish and English.

* Project – Organize Seminars on Vaisnava Marriage with Radhika Devi Dasi (Mexico) and Other Speakers. (This project was born from the wish expressed by some Vaisnavas at the end of Mataji classes)

HpS - ASA --- Whatever takes people to serve as specks of dust at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada is good. It will have lasting results. The rest we can be happy that it goes back into the earth as compost.

All glories to your all Sankirtan.

ASA - Your association is very purifying for us. We have external differences because it is the material world. Yet, working together by your mercy and the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, our internal talents develop as members of the Sankirtan party of Sri Hari.

Recently you asked if i was still having problems along the lines of what I mentioned a few years back w the wart on my Leg. Thankfully im not. I follow the principles strictly. I did have a cup of green tea and piece of garlic bread offered to me recently but felt bad about that and plan no repeat there. Hoping just to take up what is favorable for devotional service and discard what is unfavorable. Thank you for your time, instructions, and your care. Please instruct me Gurudeva, I will do exactly what you say no excuses. Hare Krishna Hare Rama


HpS - ASA - Thank you. AgtSP! I think we deal with a lot of these topics in the paper letter.

It is now addressed, sealed and waiting to be stamped.

We will be your neighbors for one month.

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

Please accept our sincere obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!


I thank you for the answer (https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/13274/)

Indeed, it cannot be expected that the affairs of the ministry will always go in the best way, doubts and inconveniences will always arise. But that's okay, I'm learning to relate to people I can build with and get along sufficiently with those whose ideas and procedures are not compatible with ours. The world is not a cake with cream. For now, the hinges move!


Regarding the question you asked about what I thought of the Panamerican Symposium, something similar to what happened to you happened to me. I had a class that day that I couldn't postpone or cut short. I collaborated as much as I could with the organization and coordination, but I couldn't be present during the event.


Finally, you mention ASA. What will happen to ASA Gurudeva? I see that NIOS is consolidated as a corpus but ASA has the form of local and independent initiatives. What plans do you have for ASA in the future? How do you see it? Can I participate in any of those plans?


HpS - You can write a regular article for the Kapi Dhvaja each fortnight or month for a few months!

Miss Yulisa, el Ramayana y otros - [Jaya Hari Dasa]

Hk pamho

Querido Gurudeva, me alegra que continúe sus documentales. Tal vez, en alguno pueda incluir una historia, dramatización con más actores, en cortos, películas, la música es muy importante. Creo que si va a España Vrsavanu pondrá el toque femenino. En audio visuales el fondo y la forma son igual de importantes. Son sólo humildes sugerencias.

Mi servicio ahora es de profesora de colegio de primaria y los fines de semana harinama con Prabhu Kolaveca, un devoto antiguo, gran distribuidor en su juventud nos reunimos con Prabhu Puspa, Prabhu Rupa y otros, me gusta esa asociación, porque son gente ejemplar completamente dedicados a la prédica, pienso que deberían haber más distribuidores, desarrollan mucho la empatía con las personas, son veraces, humildes, se les ve felices y eso se ve reflejado en sus tratos con los demás.

Estoy visitando iglesias cercanas que atienden normalmente, así salgo de la rutina y la atmosfera de música y canto me agrada. Ahí puedo cantar rondas. El templo sigue abriendo sólo los domingos, es una pena. Es una lucha trabajar como profesor y cantar, ahora ya estoy habituada, los meses pasados fueron duros, dormía poco, temía enfermar. Tuve que hacer cambios, estuve mucho tiempo sin trabajar. Siempre prefiero a los niños por su energía y entusiasmo.

En Perú desde antes que Ud. se fuera, la gente estaba más relajada de la pandemia, ahora por ejemplo mis clases son presenciales. Los niños son de 8 a 12 años. Estoy enseñando comunicación entre los cursos que se enseñan son Plan lector. Se lee mucho y eso me agrada. Creo que tantos gritos de los niños y la mascarilla ya no escucho bien. Iniciamos las clase con una oración, ahora cada día leerán una oración de diferentes religiones, estoy pensando en alguna de nuestro movimiento, se le ocurre alguna? No puede ser el mantra.

En la clase de compresión lectora incluiré algunos pasajes Ramayana, y los cuestionarios que voy haciendo los guardare en un registro, tal vez en el futuro sean de utilidad. Así pronuncian Rama. A los más pequeños les adaptaré la historia de Hanuman.

Estoy feliz por las bendiciones de Krsna, me permite tener asociación pero también me protege, sigo feliz siendo célibe, definitivamente creo que es lo mejor para mí. Algunas piensan que eso es anormal a mi me parece anormal tener tantas parejas, las personas somos diferentes. Estamos de pasada por aquí, somos un león solitario que evita a gente tóxica, que le gusta vivir pacíficamente y libre. Ahora el reto es estudiar las escrituras, continuar con ello. Deme sus bendiciones, creo que ese es mi pedido.

Dear Gurudeva, I am glad that you are continuing the documentaries of him. Perhaps, in some you can include a story, dramatization with more actors, in shorts, movies, music is very important.


HpS - Yes, but we don't want it to be documentary of HpS, rather Tom Brown and Buck white in the principle part.


I think that if Vrsavanu goes to Spain, she will add the feminine touch.


ASA - ... and Hari vamsi! He will add the muchacho touch.


In audio visuals, background and form are equally important. They are just humble suggestions.


My service now is as a primary school teacher and on the flourma weekends with Prabhu Kolaveca, an old devotee, a great distributor in his youth, we meet with Prabhu Puspa, Prabhu Rupa and others, I like that association, because they are completely exemplary people. dedicated to preaching, I think there should be more distributors, they develop a lot of empathy with people, they are truthful, humble, they seem happy and that is reflected in their dealings with others.


ASA - Kolaveca Sridhara Das, Puspa gopal Das.... !!!


I am visiting nearby churches that attend normally, so I get out of the routine and the atmosphere of music and singing pleases me. There I can sing rounds. The temple is still open only on Sundays, it's a shame. It's a struggle to work as a teacher and sing, now I'm used to it, the past few months were hard, I slept little, I was afraid of getting sick. I had to make changes, I was a long time without working. I always prefer children for their energy and enthusiasm.


ASA - Super, Yugala kishore Das... Super. Mercy of Krsna.


In Peru, since before you left, people were more relaxed about the pandemic, now, for example, my classes are face-to-face. The children are from 8 to 12 years old. I am teaching communication between the courses that are taught are Reading Plan. He reads a lot and I like that. I think that so many screams from the children and the mask I no longer hear well. We started the class with a prayer, now every day they will read a prayer from different religions, I am thinking of one of our movement, can you think of one? It can't be the mantra.


ASA - https://vedabase.io/es/library/sb/1/8/9/ and https://vedabase.io/es/library/sb/1/8/10/

O.K?


In the reading comprehension class I will include some Ramayana passages, and the questionnaires that I am doing I will keep in a record, perhaps in the future they will be useful. This is how they pronounce Rama. For the little ones I will adapt the story of Hanuman.


I am happy because of Krsna's blessings, He allows me to have association but He also protects me, I am still happy being celibate, I definitely think it is the best for me. Some think that this is abnormal, it seems abnormal to me to have so many partners, people are different. We are passing through here, we are a lonely lion who avoids toxic people, who likes to live peacefully and freely. Now the challenge is to study the scriptures, continue with it. Give me your blessings, I think that is my request.

HpS - You already have so much blessings! We pray that Krsna shows you the areas where you must make improvement!
