Hare Krishna

Dear Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your Lotus feet

hps - so nice to hear from you. we work to keep our feet clean, and at 72-years old, by srila pravhupada's extreme mercy, they still work well, but not lotus yet.

All Glory to Sri Caitanya and Nityananda

All Glory to Sankirtan Movement

All Glory to AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

ASA - !

I hope you're in good health, Thanks for all your Bhakti, it's my main inspiration.

I'm talkin about Krishna, with all I can. So there are many difficult sittuations among devotees, I pray to we can undestand the real love and successfully pass the Maya test.

Many people have left, among family, Friends and devotees, at the same time new ones are arriving and growing.

HpS - Yes, try to save them, but also remember what srila prabhupada said that once they come to KRSNA they can never get away.

I keep studying the Prabhupada books, Srimad Bhagavatam, Upadesamrta, Bhagavad Gita, Caitanya Caritamrita, and others Prabhupada lectures and your lectures and another devotees. I've been worshiping Tulasi, and Chanting japa everyday. I pray That one day I can do it with full purity.

-According to what we talked about Asa audiovisual in the last meeting, reviewing the list of videos and the DTC-UT powerpoints that we already have, I find that it is not necessary for you to send the Gotomeeting files. We can do it with the Asa Carnaval + Power point audios and achieve the same quality.

-We changed the covers to English of Inter-religious Dialogue.

-We cut the beginning of all the videos and only leave the first recitation of the verse.

Today we have:

1-DTC-UT- ID: 4 sessions available on Youtube

2-DTC-UT-BVL: 3 sessions available on youtube

3-DTC-UT-C & V: 3 sessions. Edited 40%

4-DTC-UT- LM: 2 sessions. ready to Editing

5-DTC-UT- FA: 1 session: ready to editing

Questions

-We are not sure what to do with the Upendra classes, we think it would be good to cut it out of the DTC-UT and make a compilation of his readings separately. What do you think?

HpS - Yes!! 😐

-About the special session on World Literature-Ramayana that you gave by Zoom for Iskcon Huston. Do you think it would be good to include it?

HpS - At this time, no.

Madavendra Puri has a much better internet connection and he is helping us to upload the videos.

ASA - He is great benefactor of poor, weak people like us.

Please let us know what we can improve.

ASA - Nothing now. The channel is 100% better. We are sending university graduates there already.

Thank you very much for engage us in this beautiful service and please excuse our limitations.

Preguntas

-No estamos seguros que hacer con las clases de Upendra, creemos que seria bueno quitarlo del DTC-UT y hacer una compilación de sus lecturas por separado. Que piensa usted?

-Acerca de la sesion especial de Literatura Mundial-Ramayana que usted dio por Zoom para Iskcon Huston. Piensa que seria bueno incluirla?

Madavendra Puri tiene mucho mejor conexión a internet y esta colaborando con la subida de los videos.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I wish you are in good health, the body is a disease, but as Srila Prabhupada said, we make good use of this bad bargain.

Well, I have some ideas for the book project that connects Don Quixote de la Mancha with the Vedas.

I thought it would be interesting to ask yourself this question:

What if Don Quixote had read the Vedas?

As a result, I thought: we can start the book from the end, just before Don Quixote left his body.

It could be that somehow a trunk arrived from the East with some very old texts (vedas), to Don Quixote's house. He was a lover of reading, so in a short time he devoured all the texts.

ASA - Vedas would be incomprehensible... Mahabharata, BG, SB.

After that Don Quixote begins to remember all his adventures, and in this way each story can be connected with the Bhaktivedanta perspective.

I have some proposals to analyze for some of the Don Quixote chapters, themes that can be dealt with:

Volume 1

C3-meditation on his beloved to ask for help

C 13 - to whom you direct your triumphs

C 14 - love must be free

C 17 - Elixir of Recovery

C 21 - greed for a kingdom

C 25 - penances for his love

C 26 - prayer of ave maria

C 30 - fidelity to his beloved

C 39,40,41 - escape for his beloved

# release of prisoners

C46 - Cage of Don Quixote

C 52 - procession

---

Volume 2

C1 - documented evidence of the knights (sastra)

C8 - control of the senses

C 11 - Sancho is insulted and Quixote wants revenge, but Sancho stops him

C 12 - Life as a comedy

C 13 - Sancho speaks in a good way about his boss

C 16-Don Quixote convinces an errant not to frustrate his son's dream of being a poet (to follow nature)

C 18- sancho's sadness after leaving the abundance of the stay with a character

C 22 - doing clean business

C 26 - protector of the weak

C 27 - principles of a ksatriya, when to use violence

C 30 - don quixote meditates on his love

C 36 - the exemplary character of a king

C 42 - # Don quixote advises sancho how to be a good ruler

C 44-DQ reaffirms his fidelity to Dulcinea

C 60-The bandit kills whoever does not comply with his wishes (demon)

C 67 - life of shepherds

C 71 - pain for enjoyment

Well, they are just ideas, I did this by analyzing a summary of both volumes.

In this way, after Don Quixote remembers all the events, thanks to the wisdom of the Vedas, he is "sane" again, and leaves his body understanding the madness in which he was immersed, but perhaps that also takes away many interesting aspects of the work, which are related to its nobility, justice, etc ... Well, I would like to know what you think, what you suggest, how you would like us to carry out this service, etc.

Thank you very much Gurudeva for allowing me to do this, I know I can do it if I have mercy on him, Srila Prabhupada and all the parampara.

My obeisances

HpS-ASA - It is very good work and I do not know DQ well enough to make any comment. Hope some devotee will read this and make a comment.

We thought of something like a wandering Sannyasi gets to Iberia and meets Cervantes and they have discussions.

More than themes I would suggest identifying specific storys in DQ and then have Sannyasi/Poet give contrasting SB storys.

Hare Krsna.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Deseo se encuentre bien de salud, el cuerpo es una enfermedad, pero como dijo Srila Prabhupada, hacemos el buen uso de esta mala ganga.

Bueno, tengo algunas ideas para el proyecto del libro que conecta Don Quijote de la Mancha con los Vedas.

Pensé que sería interesante hacerse esta pregunta:

¿Qué pasaría si Don Quijote hubiera leido los vedas?

A raíz de eso, pense: podemos comenzar el libro desde el final, justo antes de que el Quijote abandonara su cuerpo.

Podría ser que de alguna manera llegara un baúl desde oriente con unos textos muy antiguos (vedas), a la casa de Don Quijote. El era un amante de la lectura, por lo que en poco tiempo se devoró todos los textos.

Luego de ello Don Quijote comienza a recordar todas sus aventuras, y de esa manera se puede conectar cada historia con la perspectiva Bhaktivedanta.

Tengo algunas propuestas a analisar para algunos de los capítulos de Don Quijote, temáticas que pueden ser tratadas:

Tomo 1

C3 - meditación en su amada para pedir ayuda

C 13 - a quien dirije sus triunfos

C 14 - el amor debe ser libre

C 17 - elixir de la recuperación

C 21 - codicia por un reino

C 25 - penitencias por su amor

C 26 - rezo de ave maria

C 30 - fidelidad a su amada

C 39,40,41 - fuga por su amada

# liberación de los presos

C46 - enjaulamiento del quijote

C 52 - procesión

---

Tomo 2

C1 - pruebas documentadas de los caballeros (sastra)

C8 - control de los sentidos

C 11 - Insultan a Sancho y quijote quiere vengarse, pero sancho lo detiene

C 12 - La vida como una comedia

C 13 - Sancho habla de buena manere de su jefe

C 16 - convence el quijote a un andante a no frustrar el sueño de su hijo de ser poeta (seguir la naturaleza)

C 18- la tristeza de sancho luego de dejar la abundancia de la estadia con un personaje

C 22 - hacer negocios limpios

C 26 - protector de los débiles

C 27 - principios de un ksatriya, cuando usar la violencia

C 30 - don quijote medita en su amor

C 36 - el caracter ejemplar de un rey

C 42 - # Don quijote aconseja a sancho como ser un buen gobernante

C 44 - DQ reafirma su fidelidad a Dulcinea

C 60 - El bandolero mata a quien no cumple con sus deseos (demonio)

C 67 - vida de pastores

C 71 - dolor por disfrute

Y bueno, son solo ideas, esto lo hice analizando un resumen de ambos tomos.

De esta manera, luego de que Don Quijote recuerda todos los eventos, gracias a la sabiduría de los Vedas, vuelve a estar "cuerdo", y abandona su cuerpo entendiendo la locura en la que estaba inmerso, pero tal vez eso también le quite muchos aspectos interesantes que tiene la obra, los cuales se relacionan con su nobleza, justicia, etc ... Bueno, me gustaría saber que opina usted, que sugiere, cómo le gustaría que llevaramos a cabo este servicio, etc.

Muchas gracias Gurudeva por permitirme hacer esto, se que podré hacerlo si tengo su misericordia, la Srila Prabhupada y todo el parampara.

Gurudev mucha gracias por la respuesta a la carta anterior.

HpS - ¿Y su Prabhu? Como esta el, y los ninos? Su iglesia? Su sociedad?

Jagannatha Caran está bien, vacunado, trabajando, estudiando, dando algunas clases de SB en Vaishnavas Care Chile, y con su servicio en administración del templo.

Mis hijos muy bien de salud. Casi no salen de casa. Han estado asistiendo a sus clases online. Indira está en una escuela de lenguaje (tienen Fonoaudiólogos).

Sumukhi Visnupriya dd tiene a sus hijos en Homeschooling y le enseña a Sukadeva. Suka rendirá ésta semana los exámenes (online) para segundo básico y a fin de año rendirá para 3° básico.

En Chile seguimos en cuarentena por Pandemia, nos encierran y nos liberan.

*El templo está bien. Lo que antes era una boutique, ahora es un Mini Market.

*Hicieron una remodelación del cuarto de pujari con donaciones de los devotos, todo quedó muy bonito.

*Han habido 2 ceremonias de iniciación, donde se han iniciado 5 devotos.

Adjunto algunas fotografías y el link con video de los arreglos del Pujari.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, pamho

I have realized that you are answering letters from the Blog right now. I am checking some papers from my students.

As you know once a month I give classes for Iskcon Chosica.

ASA-TB/BW - Did not know!! Monkey/Piggy brains. Congratulations.

On Saturdays the ladies give classes. So I was doing one lesson plan that includes besides the SB' verse one thing related to "Stri Dharma" I checked on the ASA files. Due to I can recall that when we were studying BV we did some Biodata that included M Kunti, Gandhari, etc. But now I can not find them.

Do you have any other suggestion besides including some Stri Dharma in my classes?

Thanks in advance

Your association is superb

I was listening to some classes about humility I found this one from HH Radhanath Swami:

Chant nice Japa and Krsna will inspire you SB reading and teaching!!!!!!



Hare Krishna Guru Deva, please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thank you for this wonderful outline. All of these ideas sound really nice.

Yes, you can refer anyone who is interested in coming to Boise for your visit to me. I used to work for an air B and B property manger to company so I will contact my old boss about getting a place for devotees. Also, there is a hotel not far from the temple that is clean, affordable and that is ran by a person favorable to devotees. So yes I can help visiting devotees find good accommodations.

White water rafting would be great. I can look into this right away. The Payette river is so nice.

Yes, park programs!

We will start working on the Anniversary of installation of Radha Bankibihari program. I have contacted all three of the wonderful personalities you have listed about this. One of the greatest bridges indeed! Gauranga and great potatoes! Maybe we could serve Gauranga potatoes..

Thank you for engaging me, Maharaja. Very much looking forward to your visit.

I will send an out line of the preposed schedule soon.

Your aspiring servant,

-Nitisara das

P.S. Thank you for your ideas on how to improve our Monday program Chi Gong and Kirtan. Great ideas! Do you have any suggestions for the types of flags? Should they be colorful and plain. Should they have any design element? What were the flags like at Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nityananda’s programs?

ASA-TB - AgtSP Thank you SNsD! Sample flag-Kirtan attached. Go ahead as descibed with Great Vigor!!
