Hare Krishna!

Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

First in for most, Our 16 rounds are going well. We are improving. And 4 regulative are going strong 💪

.

I am looking very much to seeing you in Houston this July. It was so nice seeing you this last visit to Houston. I, like Divya Mataji, am hoping you could arrange a couple days in Dallas. You fly out of Dallas to Spain, maybe you could stay the couple days here in Dallas before flying out?

HpS/ASA--- We also thought of that but we just don't have the strength any more. We have to focus on one theme and do it.

We go to Houston to edit the move.

Please make it your life and soul also.

Be a part of a block buster video.

Us poor hearted grhastas are so in trapped in family life that we foolishly miss out on the opportunities for associating with the Vaishnava devotees of the Lord that are fearlessly preaching this Krsna Conscious movement. We really need for you to come to our homes, pull out of the water we are drowning in, slap us up side the head and tell us to wake up, wake up wake up! If somehow by Krsna's and yours mercy please come to Dallas even for just a couple days. We beg of this Gurudeva.

HpS - If our flight from Dallas to Madrid gets delayed then we may have to stay over. God can do what ever he wants. We have a section in the movie where a devil enters the house of a Grhastha and...

Things are going well for us hear in Dallas. Nityananda Prabhu is very kind and giving us direction on how to travers the Holy Dham of Radha-Kalachandji. We have been given the service recently to head up the Darshan Room program. Darshan room is our introductory preaching program for new people here in Dallas. We are quite excited about this service. We also have started the Bhakti Sastri course. We are listening to Srila Prabhupada's books while we work, driving bus. We finished NOD last month and are about 2/3rds into Teachings of Lord Chaitanya right now. However, as amazing as it is to hear Srila Prabhupada's books by audio, it purifies our consciousness so much but we don't necessarily get to study and dive deep as much as we need to. So we will continue to listen like that but the addition of systemically studying with Bhakti Sastri has us hoping we can add some better arsenal to our preaching.

Rama Rama! Krsna Hare!!!

We heard from our dear friend, Srinivas Prabhu, sometime ago that while talking with you Gurudeva you mentioned to him that Dallas would be good for us. It has been wonderful in so many ways and we really feel that it is your blessing and mercy. We are here and making progress in the quest to do some service for Srila Prabhupada, Radha-Kalachandji and you Gurudeva. Thank you so very much. We will continue to work hard in trying to purify our hearts and our service. The challenge, the victory, Guru and Krishna's mercy!

HpS - Krsna can put the nicest people on the bus. You just have to figure out how give them books without any musss.

Haribol!

Your servant,

Nanda-braja das

ASA - Thank you for your inspiring example. How can we not think that it makes Rama smile... but the room for improvement is the biggest room in the world.

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.

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!

Your servant

Gandharva das
