Letters to the editor

Queridos devotos:Pamho. Toda gloria a Srila Prabphupada.

El siguiente mensaje es para actualizar el estado de salud de Avesa Rupa prabhu. Han pasado varios días desde la ultima información y ahora estoy con él en Nueva Vrajamandala y quiero informar de lo siguiente:

Avesa Rupa prabhu llegó el lunes pasado a Nueva Vrajamandala desde Oviedo con Jara Mara prabhu, donde fue recibido con un gran kirtan .Tanto las autoridades como los devotos de la granja (NVM) lo han recibido con mucho cariño y están proporcionando todas las facilidades posibles. Por ello les estamos muy agradecidos tanto a ellos como a Jara Mara que lo trajo.

  Estamos también agradecidos a los devotos que, preocupados por su salud, han propuesto tratamientos alternativos de diversa índole. Le hemos planteado a Avesa estas opciones de salud pero él ha decidido no luchar contra la enfermedad sino prepararse para su partida en la asociación de los devotos. Nosotros estamos respetando esta decisión y ayudando, en la medida de lo posible, a que su partida sea tranquila.

A pesar de que ha perdido movilidad en una pierna debido a la metástasis , en estos momentos podemos decir que su situación es estable dentro de la gravedad. Está tomando un tratamiento paliativo contra el dolor que le permite descansar y al mismo tiempo interactuar con los devotos. Esta mañana ha bajado sólo al templo a las 5am y se ha quedado en el programa hasta la clase. Por supuesto hay algunos altibajos en sus fuérzas para moverse, pero su estado anímico es bastante bueno y objetivo.

Adiras duerme con él en la misma habitación y dispone de todo el apoyo de los devotos de la granja. Así que pensamos que su situación es la mejor posible en estos momentos.

Gracias a todos por vuestra preocupación y oraciones para que el futuro inmediato de Avesa sea el mejor posible.

Jayanta Das. Pte de ISKCON Navalakunda y miembro del equipo de cuidado a Avesa Rupa

JAYA SRI SRI GURU AND GAURANGA !!

ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA !! and his loyal and dedicated disciples like you.

Since the previous report we have had a joint meeting of the technical team and the communications team of the Journal. During the meeting we apply and try to answer your questions in depth: What is SOLARIS for you? What is your motivation and perspective to be in SOLARIS?

Here are the answers:

Purnamasi d.d.: Contribute to the academic preaching of Gurudeva by his backbone which is SOLARIS. Use my nature and professional experience as a journalist and teacher.

Bhaktin Sandra Salazar: SOLARIS allows me to integrate my material and spiritual knowledge (I am a graduate in Visual Arts) I want to contribute my artistic skills and knowledge to the magazine. I like this project that gives spiritual knowledge through philosophy and art.

Jayanta d.: Pleasing Gurumaharaja. To engage in service with my academic contacts, I directly accept that perhaps my contribution may be limited, but it can be effective through my contacts.

Srutipriya d.d.: Two Motivations, One spiritual: Serving Maharaja HpS. And a professional: As I study Languages ​​at the University, in SOLARIS I can apply my knowledge in the service of reading, writing, reviewing texts, etc. in English and Spanish.

Govinda Pramodini d.d.: To engage directly in the service of Guru-maharaja. SOLARIS addresses the need to connect spirit and matter in the scientific and academic fields. The magazine gives me the opportunity to better use my skills.

Abhiram Thakur d.: Magazines like SOLARIS are permanent and powerful vehicles for transmitting spiritual knowledge. SOLARIS opens the doors for us to dialogue with and influence different academics from different spiritual traditions (Jesuits, Sufis, Buddhists, ...). Then by developing the magazine we can give Krishna consciousness, both to readers and writers of the academic world, and, above all give them the opportunity to connect with Srila Prabhupada through his books.

In the 3rd report we will have the responses of the members who could not attend.

In addition, we invite all readers of the Blog to express themselves in the sense of why a magazine like SOLARIS is important. We look forward to your valuable comments.

That's it for now, thank you very much, HARE KRISHNA

HpS - Thank you... There was also an administrative meetting with Prof. Miguel Polo, HpSwami, Abhiseka Singh (President of NIOS) and Art Das. Art D showed the mock-up of the Solaris web page and is supposed to send the HTML files to HpS so he and ASingh can make more detailed comments.

We look at NIOS, Solaris having a good chance of living and being very useful, but it is not guaranteed.

HpS - Super! SUPER! S U P E R!!! !

... Basically we are finishing Phases One and Two of the movie: DTC-UT. We all thank you so much for your generous help.

Of course, there is more work to do on these PPTXs and their availability by YouTube.

Hare Krishna, respected Guru Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am continuing my reading of Jung. Since I wrote to you last, the theme that struck me the most was Jung's reluctance and dislike of accepting religion blindly.

He was willing to think through the difficult questions of life and wanted to find religious solutions for them, but hardly anyone in his environment wanted to engage in a critical inquiry on religious matters, especially his fathe.

Though being a religious leader in their local church, due to having serious doubts himself, Jung's father did not wish to engage in deep religious discussions with Jung.

Instead, Jung's father preferred to take the route of "blind faith," to which Jung had a strong aversion (73).

HpS - Which Jung says later caused him to die an early death from emotional exhaustion, no?

When reading this, I was reminded of a quote by SP that you often cite, guru maharaja. In his purport to BG 4.34, SP says, "...blind following and absurd inquiries are condemned." Here, SP authorizes Jung's instinct not to take up faith blindly.

Ultimately, Jung's genuine (rather than absurd) theological questions and his striving to engage in religion with critical thought demonstrated to me his great qualification to be put in conversation with Srila Prabhupada, as you propose in several of your classes.

HpS - Through Prabhupada with Rupa Goswami and very especially with Srila Bh. Siddhanta. Jung was one year younger (Junger ??) than BhS!

Thank you, guru maharaja, for your constant mercy and guidance.

Your insignificant servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi

HpS - ASA - Hope other can enter these discussions. Seems like part of our DTC - UT.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

In the online vedabase, there are some references to rAgAnugA bhakti such as the ones in this paragraph: https://vedabase.io/en/library/nod/15/#bb1207073

They should actually be rAgAtmikA. I have a hardcopy of the Nectar of Devotion that is printed in Taiwan in 2009 which shows correct information. I also checked in BBT desktop version of Vedabase and it has the correct information.

My more than decade old personal notes that I took when you taught us Bhaktisastri also talks about this error in older editions. Seems Prahlad Nrsimha prabhu is using older version and I hope he sees this and loads the newer one.

Your insignificant servant

Srinivasacarya dasa

ASA - Thank you so, so much. As we know, he is using the Texts given to him by the European BBT. I don't know how much control he has on making editing corrections, but they do hand him updated stuff. Is there is a Contact Us link on the Website?

Is very important correction!!!!!!!!!



.Krsna Krsna,

. Krsna Krsna,

Krsna Krsna,

. Krsna Hay!

TB/BW, here!

🐵... 🐖

🐷

. . . . We are Fly Ing, the Ship!!!

HpS is resting, writing Cookie Fortunes, on Banana Leaves.

We thought about distributing a book today!!!

. . . To a really robust guy who walked by on the river-bank in front of our shack, cave, tree-house.

He waved back at our, 'Hello', but that's about as far as we got.

We also got 50-one ounce bags of Mr. P-nut prasada to pass out.

Well, when we got up, like 99% of our Hay Fever was done??!!!

We've only sneezed one time today.

Little eye/nose burning, dripping, but Hmmmm? Gone.

. . . [Throat little inflamed]

Rupa-anuga Whatsapped that we should go to Peru immediately and stay with him and he would cure us of all diseases, and that he did a subtle healing last night for us.

Hmmmm!!!!! Science and the Vedas??? He is a Shaman???

-0-0-0-

Jaga-mohan, Brajavasi, invited us to come to Vrndavana again.

😩 😬 😲

We told him we are in route through the deepest, darkest jungle of Peru (where Paddington grew), picking up animals to join our crew, and Spain, and Texas, (and Boise)... ?

Seven different people Whatsapped us that Umberto Mathurana left his body.

Rodrigo, the Sur-realist poet, helped us organize a program on Jung and the Bhagavata at the second best cultural museum house in Santiago and Umberto came with three more people, everyone stopped talking and looked at him and started whispering .

Afterwards we met the widow of an ambassador who knew Jung and wrote a really good book about his and other meetings, and he had been family friends of Ramon Mujica... and Prof. Mathurana asked us to visit his Institute the next day with five our six associates and plan to stay for a few hours.

We learned a lot from him.

If anyone thinks it is important and wants to feed us grapes, we can tell more.

. 🍇 🐦 

Then we talked with Rama-giridhari Das, after morning nap... for about 30-minutes.

He will investigate marketing our NIOS books through Motilal Varanasi Das. Send me a copy of the direct to University, scholars, promotional list that we have.

Says we need a student to stay in the Hill Crest-Ashrama.

Wants to go to Peru with us.

Will work with us on registering NIOS for the June 17-20th MOE Panamerican/World Education Symposium.

Work with Aja govinda Das (Prof. Ayus) on a NIOS/Texas A&M symposium on Science and the Vedas in which HpS (Prof. HHR) will join as indicated by the relevant YouTube lectures.

Etc.

Then, joined WWW.e-sanga.org and heard 1/2 of Nara-hari Das SB class on Puranja flirting with Maya Devi. Touched our heart with his depth, sincerity, scholarship. We gave a few comments along with Jaya Jagadisha and Vidagdha Das. Challenged us to be better devotees

AGTSP.

Then, FNP - Bath, laundry, Raja Bhoga (we are being 90% strict [and guess be much more Sattvic] to keep alive a few more years)

Then after another nap, joined NgD and VN for a walk/talk, but called ArtDas and talked to him the whole time about calendars, etc.

Then then a thundershower hit us and we had to run back to our base and cars and come home.... and ... cooked evening Bhoga (tea with milk and sugar) and write this DTC.

Wow!

We are behind on our rounds, but keeping count and catching up

We also watched YouTube historical video, among men I am the monarch.

Now we will run to the 8PM Radha Nabara program. .... and Tweet! Thank you. Hope to hear from you.
