We will try to join this as much as possible:

"Dear ISKCON Educators and Leaders

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Viplavah 2021, the international education symposium organized by ISKCON Ministry of Education will be held next week between 13th and 15th August. Many eminent speakers would be sharing their experiences through 20 minutes of Ted-Talk type presentations followed by a short 5 minute Q&A. On and before 10th of August we will also share the full agenda.

Here is a list of the illustrious speakers who will be presenting on a variety of topics:

H.H. Hanumatpreshak Maharaj • Sesa Das • Vaisesika Das • Urmila Devi Dasi • Yogendra Das • Ramacarya Das • Krishna Nandan Das • Bhagavati Kripa Devi Dasi • Balaram Lila Das • Prema Rupa Madhava Das • Sutapa Das • Atul Krsna Das • Gauranga Darshan Das • Aniruddha Das • Padmamukha Nimai Das • Dinadayal Das • Sankirtan Das • Mukundanandana Das • Radhika Raman Das • Lila Purushottam Das • Krsnendu Das • Devaki Devi Dasi • Kaunteya Das • Tapana Mishra Das • Balimardana Das

We already have 150+ educators registered to participate in this symposium and we can accommodate more. So if you have a friend who is interested in education within ISKCON please ask them to register at: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0vcuCtrjkoH9AT4P7zTX-56DQN-5l998OG

The symposium will also be broadcast on the Ministry's youtube channel. But if you are a registered participant then it gives you the privilege to host your own breakout sessions to invite other participants to network with you or vice versa. Such breakout sessions will be the equivalent to private meeting rooms or project booths in a physical setting, giving you an opportunity to share with others what you are doing. So therefore register through the above link. Moreover the organizers would only be able to take questions also from registered participants on zoom. We look forward to hosting you soon.

Your servants,

Tapan Mishra Das

Balimardana Das"

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva:

Please, accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

August is almost here and that means the last month of summer holidays.

In September, I will be back to school,

this year as a Nursery and Primary teacher and I will try my best to pass Srila Prabhupada message to my students and colleagues.

ASA - Share this gift of Srila Prabhupada: https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/3/22/21/

From the departure of a very important devotee and friend (for all the members of my family), Avesa Rupa Prabhu, things have changed a bit.

This summer is the first one we don’t spend time with him and his partner, Adiras prabhu, hiking around the most beautiful landscapes in Spain.

Instead of that, we have been visiting another [other] devotees in different places such as Málaga and Nueva Vrajamandala.

I think we are missing Avesa Rupa prabhu, but, thanks to him, we are a little bit stronger in some things.

... For example,

HpS - ASA - He was a G I A N T. Even though they may not know it I think the whole world misses him. The Earth misses his walking on here. 😟 Yet, it is like seeing your father leave on a boat to China in 1933 for work, and knowing he will come back after 1-1/2 year, and there should be letters, telegrams, phone calls.

...desire to distribute books. Of course, not the way he did (he was a great sankirtan devotee), but, at least, trying our best, once a month, in family or with another devotees… In today’s class, I hear you saying that everybody can distribute books. Even if it is only one or two, it is ok.

And on hearing this, I feel a little more confident. So, always with Srila Prabhupada’s and your permission, I will go with my husband Jayanta prabhu to the streets, like I did some years ago. And let’s see what happens!

ASA - Hey, that is just one way, and it may not even be the best way,,, for you all. Chant, pray, stack the books up where you can see them and get them out. Put advertisements around the neighborhood dogs who pass by.

Put leads into your students school work that will inspire family to ask, "Where from that quote is made??" Etc.

Thank you so much for reading my letter.

Hoping you are fine.

Your servant, hoping to be humble.

Purnamasi devi dasi

HpS - Make book distribution our full time business. Convert your school into a clandestine Sankirtan center.



Dear Gurudev,

 Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. 

 All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru parampara.

 Gurudev, am at home town now. Took a separate rented room and staying there.

 Health seems ok. Seems CoVid cases are increasing. Received first dose of 

 vaccine 23 days back.

Running a bit busy with family members & office work. Took a rented roon and staying

there so that i can think about my spritual practices, will start class soon for family

members on BG.

HpS - Wonderful. Maybe better is Caitanya caritamrta? Select parts. Read the bio of Lord Caitanya in the Introduction to SB and discuss it with them? Srila Prabhupada's one volume biography?

 My 3rd brother has a 5 month old baby ( Madhav ). Preparing his childhood cultivation

 plan so that he should be good in devotional life from his childhood.

 HG Jibesh Prabhuji good in health and good. He is staying in Mayapur in rented room.

 He is always good in spiritual practices.

HpS - I wish he could contact our disciple Gaura gadadhara Devi Dasi and her fiancee Gopal, but I don't know how it is possible. We will look for method.

You stay pure in heart by daily, constant work and Krsna will send nice people to learn from you!!!

Your dependent,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

Hare Krishna querido Gurudeva! Por favor acepte mis mas humildes reverencias! todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Espero que se encuentre bien de salud.

Muchas gracias por su respuesta y por aceptarme como visita.

Como soy un sirviente del Señor Jambavan, no tendré problema en estar en el bosque con usted 🐻

Conociendo ahora su itinerario yo estaría llegando el 24 o 25 a Nashville, de todas formas yo le aviso con anticipación, la hora y fecha exacta.

Solo necesitaría la dirección de su casa para poder ubicarla en el mapa y averiguar como llegar.

Muchas gracias por su atención.

Su sirviente Jambavan Das

HpS - 24-25 Augusto?? Llegamos 24 Agosto a las 2.50PM al aeropuerto.

Bien Venidos.

Tiene vaccine complete?

[7:00 AM, 7/30/2021] +1 (281) 635-xxx: Hare Krsna Maharaj 

Thank you so much.

Also scientifically is it possible to proove that the soul exists??

[5:15 PM, 8/4/2021] Hp Swami: No, because epistemology of science is rational empiricism and even Pi and the Square root of 2 are irrational numbers, what to speak of the soul.... 😇  It is by definition not an empirical entity.
