Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna dear Gurumaharaja

PAOHO AGTSP

I met with Param Padam, Harinam Gauranga and Mitravinda dd yesterday to comment on the idea of the symposium and ask about their level of participation in the event:

• Param Padam 100% (organization and participation as speaker)
• Harinam Gauranga and Mitravinda dd 50% (participation as speakers only but they can help in specific duties - both have commitments until the fortnight of December).
• Indira Sakti dd can take charge of social networks and graphic communication.

Three very important questions arose for the organization and curatorship of the symposium:

• What dates do you have in mind?

ASA - AgtSP paoho. We seem to be available from December 27th through January 3rd.

• How many days long / and how many hours per day?

ASA - That depends on who wants to participate. We can present for one (maybe two) hour(s)/per day in the morning, evening or during the day.

• What do you specifically expect from this event? (this determines the profile and objectives)

ASA - We want to consolidate the efforts in education by the Anjana Suta Academy, a pioneering branch of ISKCON, Founder Acharya, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, Prabhupada,

1. NIOS,
2. Latin American Yatras,
3. Spain,
4. Houston, Nashville, Boise, Richmond, North American Yatras,
5. Ministry of Education,
6. et al.

Which of course includes, Yadunandana Swami, Sesa Das, Karuna-krsna Das... et al!!!

We want this to be the first of a series of ASA symposia in :

1. Peru
2. Houston (Boise, Richmond)
3. Madrid
4. Kolkata (Manipur, Vrndavana)

It is a spiral: 1, 2, 3, 4; same topics, different emphasis.

1. Who is an educated man? What are the Steps on the Educational Ladder?
2. Books are the Basis, The Bhaktivedanta Library, Srila Prabhupada's Four Diplomas.
3. Daivi Varna Ashrama Dharma (DVAD Education).

If you consider it necessary I can organize a Zoom meeting.

If it goes well we will need Zoom meetings, Room meetings and especially Doom meetings as Sukadeva Goswami and M. Pariksit, or Krsna and Arjuna, no?

We want the work to be edited into this movie: DTC-UT... and Solaris.... and Kapi Dhvaja...

Waiting for your kind answer

Your servant

Gandharva das

HpS - Monkey wrote this and Piggy says that it is kind of an answer. We wait for your gargled, ecstatic answer. White - Pawn to E-4.

He Whatsapped us "Hello".

We: Where is your gross body?

He: Always in Govardhana Eco-village!

We: We have written to Shonu twice with no response and will try for a third with comments that we will push on from our side and wait for his help in the future if he is too busy now.  There are robust Jung groups in China asking for his help!  Our next option is the very, very, nice Jung community in Argentina.  We are reading the recently published edition of Jung's lecture at the Polytechnic in Zurich on Oriental and Occidental psychology. Very very nice.

ASA Wrote to Sriman Rupanuga:

[4:21 PM, 11/9/2021] Hp Swami: Hare Krsna. We have been working so hard to keep our basic spiritual, mental and physical health. They are al quite good, improved. The proximate link is a 3rd class, but effective, video that I made of the Ashrama. This weekend we improved the recording studio by 75% with improved lighting etc.  Thank you for the photos!!!!  Do you have time for consulting a very nice, senior Brahmacari in Houston about his health. We can organize or join a tele-conference.

[4:25 PM, 11/9/2021] Hp Swami: Then there is the review of the Sankhya book. Have you read it much? Does i relate to your source materials?  Kunja-bihari will be coming in a few weeks from BsAs. I think he contacted you before. He is full MD and has been doing a lot of study and clinical practice in Ayuveda. We start work before that and then all sit together when he is here, if not before that and consolidate the work in Ayuveda from our, Anjana Suta Academy, perspective, before we move on (to Houston (to Radha-kunda))?

[4:27 PM, 11/9/2021] Hp Swami: The owner normally charges $2,000 per month for this Sta Eulalia ashrama, but when she heard about the kind of project that we are doing she gave it for only $1,500/month. 🙄 She will return from and Art Show in Paris next week and wants to see if we can include her Ramayana puppets in our movie. Thank you.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to SS Hanumatpresaka Swami

Please accept my humble bows to your lotus feet Guru Maharaja,

Gurudeva, thank you for reading my previous letter https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/12735/, the president of the Nueva Nilacala Mandir temple, Govinda Charana Das in Guadalajara, sends his greetings, as well as that he hopes he is in good health. 

On October 31, the snana yatra took place, in which we participated in collaboration with the brahmanas, making the juices, teas, the bath and on November 13 it will be ratha yatra, for which we will have the visit of three Gurus; S.s Guru Prasad Swami, S.s Bhakti Sundar Goswami and S.s Bir Krishna Das Goswami.

Usually the Sunday after ratha yatra the fire ceremonies are performed for the initiations. Talk to the brahmana who will perform them. If you agree, it could be Sunday, November 14, in the presence of one of the gurus. We could have a session by Zoomo, a video call, one day before or early the same day for the delivery of the Gayatri, as you decide Gurudeva.

HpS - It should be right after the fire sacrifice. A local Brahmana can sit with you while we do it. Very nice!

My Sadhana: Chant 16 rounds, follow the 4 principles, get up to Mangala arati, attend deities at home, (Radha syamasundar, Govinda, Nrsimhadeva, Jhagannat, Balarama and Subhadra and Lord Gouranga) Sing a little morning and afternoon, read a little and some sankirtana at work.

Seva: Putting away the deities' clothes once a week, and at festivals, ironing Srila Prabhupada clothes and bathing him once a week, helping to prepare the Abhishek, cooking for the Deity occasionally.
