1st report of NIOS-Hispanio and SOLARIS of the quarter April-June 2021

4 years, 3 months ago by abhiramdas in Special Category A

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept our humble revelations.

ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA !! and YOU!!


Gurudeva first, and with your permission, we want to start this report by thanking all the devotees, family members and colleagues friends who stood in solidarity with us when they knew that my wife and I were infected with covid in March. Our greatest gratitude to you GURUDEVA and SADAI NIMAI-NITAI for your mercy we can still stay on this donkey and under your guidance purify ourselves to try to please the devotees, you, Srila Prabhupada and KRISHNA himself. The first week was smooth, but the second week was a bit tricky. Thanks to mother Lavanya-mangala for connecting me with an excellent pulmonologist. From April 20, one day before RAMA-NAVAMI we were discharged, JAY SRI RAMA !!!!


HpS - Hare Krsna!!! Hare KRSNA! We apologize for the delay in responding. We have never had such bad allergy reaction in the past. Little, little, little better today, but now our right wrist is extremely bad. Can barely rotate without howling in the wrist.

Hmmmm?

So typing is very hard, but we are not easily discouraged.


Well, now if we go to the specific points of this report:


Due to the growth and the possibilities of presence of SOLARIS in the academic world, we are currently trying to delegate and establish an organizational structure, useful and efficient for the Sankirtan-academic through SOLARIS. This implies resolving clearly, (as you always say, first, who I am, who we partner with and then the plans) this translates into the magazine collectively developing a strategic plan. The first steps we are taking in that direction are:


• Develop the concept "SOLARIS contributions for a new culture" We plan to hold two Round Tables in May and June, to address this issue, and have perspectives, clear criteria and consensus, okay? All those who wish to participate in the Round Tables can register by sending a request to: [email protected]


HpS-ASA -- Oink! Oink! Whoop! Whoop. You did not answer the first question. It is what is Solaris to you???? With some depth. Also, seems the partners don't mention their motives, perspective.

Why are you motivated by this periodical. Not, "I want to help people and the world." More details.


• SOLARIS is part of NIOS, that means having constant communication, periodic meetings with the board of directors and advisers to refine ideas and establish criteria and objectives to develop a calendar of activities for 2021, which will be executed and evaluated every three months. The reports on this topic are in charge of the monocyte Manuel.


HpS - !


That's all for now, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING GURUDEVA, her insignificant servant, Abhirama Thakura dasa.


HpS - Why does this attract you? Why do you like doing books and magazines? You could fix automobiles.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gurudeva en primer lugar, y, con su permiso, queremos empezar este informe agradeciendo a todos los devotos, devotas, familiares, colegas y amigos que se solidarizaron con nosotros cuando se enteraron que mi esposa y yo nos contagiamos con el covid en marzo. Nuestra mayor gratitud a usted GURUDEVA y a SADAI NIMAI-NITAI por su misericordia aun podemos mantenernos en este burro y bajo su guía purificarnos para tratar de complacer a los devotos, a Usted, a Srila Prabhupada y a KRISHNA mismo. La primera semana fue suave pero la segunda se complicó un poco. Gracias a la madre Lavanya-mangala por contactarme con un excelente neumólogo. Desde el 20 de abril, un día antes de RAMA-NAVAMI nos dieron de alta, JAY SRI RAMA!!!!

 

Bueno ahora si vamos a los puntos específicos de este reporte:

 

Actualmente debido al desarrollo y las posibilidades de presencia de SOLARIS en el mundo académico estamos tratando de delegar y establecer una estructura organizativa, útil y eficiente para el Sankirtan académico a través de SOLARIS. Esto implica resolver claramente, (como usted siempre dice, primero, quien soy, con quienes nos asociamos y luego los planes) esto se traduce en la revista en elaborar colectivamente un plan estratégico. Los primeros pasos que estamos dando en esa dirección son:

 

·        Desarrollar el concepto “SOLARIS contribuciones para una nueva cultura” Pensamos hacer dos Mesas Redondas en mayo y junio, para abordar este tema, y tener perspectivas, criterios claros y consensos, está bien? Todos los que deseen participar en las Mesas Redondas se pueden inscribir enviando una solicitud a: [email protected]

 

·        SOLARIS es parte de NIOS eso significa tener una comunicación constante, reuniones periódicas con la junta de directores y asesores para afinar ideas y establecer criterios y objetivos para elaborar un calendario de actividades para el 2021, que se ejecutara y evaluara cada tres meses. Los reportes de este tema están a cargo del monocito Manuel.

 

Eso es todo por ahora, MUCHAS GRACIAS POR TODO GURUDEVA, su insignificante sirviente, Abhirama Thakura dasa.

A question about leaving the body

4 years, 3 months ago by candra108_mukhi in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO


I have a doubt about the moment near leaving the body.

In my Ledesma's family whenever one relative is about to leave the body all of them said that one of their closest relatives come to say that they are about to leave the planet soon, or came to say goodbye.


So my query is. If it is supposed that all the Ledesma's who had left their bodies are probably in other bodies now, why them came to say goodbye or something? The subtle body remains with some samskaras? This happens generation after generation.


My cousin Raquel who lives in Florida has delivered a cut little baby girl. Her name is Gabrielle due to she was born on MAy 13th ( Dia de la Virgen de Guadalupe) in honor to Arcangel Gabriel.


Thanks Gurudeva

I am attaching a picture of my niece


HpS - I don't know. Can give so many logical speculations, but don't know. 🙄

PICTURE TIME

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO


I hope this meets you better. We can see how Kali Yuga is advancing something this is horrifying ¡¡¡ All the deaths in India, violence in Colombia, Peru in risk of becoming a dictatorship. I want to run away but in this world is any place is safe. Only the holy names gives us shelter. We are in Fall and sometimes is really depressing. Nevertheless, the light comes from inside. And we just need to move on.


I am attaching some pictures that you requested about my deities (Krsna Balaram are from Sarvani dd but when she travels I take care of Them), She will pick them up soon :(

cats, Ulysses and my sister.

Hope you like them

See you in Cyberspace

Trying to be your disciple

CMDD


HpS - Prasadam and Tilak for everyone!



AVESA RUPA PRABHU NOS DEJA

4 years, 3 months ago by jayanta in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Hare Krisna Gurudev.

Pamho.

Gloria a todos los devotos fieles de Bhaktivedanta Swami!

Espero que se encuentre animado en su Conciencia de Krisna. Yo sigo con pocos cambios y con el objetivo en mente de volverme un buen devoto poco a poco.


Bueno, lo mas sobresaliente en estos dias es que a Avesa Rupa prabhu, sankirtanero con mas de 43 años distribuyendo los libros de Prabhupada le han diagnosticado un cancer de higado en situación terminal. Sin tratamiento.

Lo hemos llevado a Nueva Vrajamandala para que tenga la asociación de los devotos y Radha Govinda Candra. Los devotos le han propuesto diferentes remedios alternativos pero Avesa Rupa ha decidido no tomar ningún remedio y esperar el reencuentro con Krisna.

Así que estoy inmerso en comprobar que está siendo atendido apropiadamente y en ayudar en la burocracia para que podamos disponer de su cuerpo cuando lo abandone.


Estamos aprendiendo mucho de estas grandes almas. El lunes fuimos a recibirlo a la granja.

Su sirviente

Jayanta das

P.D. Las fotos son la llegada de Avesa a NVM y una foto del jazmín que tengo en el patio


HpS - Hare Krsna. ¿Qué será este mundo sin Avesa rupa Das? por favor envíele nuestro saludo y dígale que esperamos verlo pronto. siempre ha sido una fuente de inspiración.




Boise in August and your film

4 years, 3 months ago by Nick Delffs in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja. Please accept our humble obeisances and all glories to Srila Prabhupada!


Maharaja, I heard today in class that you will be coming to Boise in August. Please let us know what we can do. Buy your plane ticket, arrange programs...


HpS - A thought. Maybe.... Many things needed to accomplish that. Make it useful. At least we can have online anniversary of Deity installation!


The Boise temple is surviving. We are in a transitional phase in terms of leadership as you probably know.


My services are increasing all the time and I’m trying to maintain balance in all aspects. I definitely feel like a monkey or a dog in devotee dress. An imposter trying to get by, hoping no one will notice. Ultimately trying to know my own shoe size.


Maharaja, Anadi “my” wife has been doing 6 Mungal [Mangala] arti pujari services a week among many other services and her back is giving out. She’s been in so much pain that she could no longer do them and we have no one else here at the moment to do the services so I have been covering her services on the alter. I have had very little training and it’s been very intimidating and stressful but also very blissful. Please give us your blessings in regards to this temporary arrangement.


Maharaja, what are your requirements for second initiation? I have not completed my Bhakti Sastri yet.


HpS - Basically that you have come to a Brahminical level by your service. [https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/18/42/]. Find Brahma muhurta useful. Regular Japa. Reading for purification and to acquire knowledge. Bh Sastri is not required but in general good.


We have a lot of small libraries or big mail box kind of things in our neighborhood. They say leave a book take a book. We’ve been putting a lot of small Prabhupada books https://www.janisjoplin.net/life/quotes/in them steadily for the last few months and books are going and not coming back. Is this okay to distribute books like this? It almost seems too easy.


HpS - I remember one funny monolog by Janis Joplin (what do you think of this: https://www.janisjoplin.net/life/quotes/) where she asks her doctor about her drinking habits and her black doctor says, "Honkey you doin, juz fine". What you describe seems just the same: Nitisara Das, you doin juz fine! Keep it up.


I am excited about this Diary of a Traveling Creature: The last trip. I would love to serve the project in some way. I have many song ideas and access to a very nice recording studio here in Boise. But I want to go where I am needed so please let me know how I might be best suited for this if I am at all. A good old close friend is writing screen plays for Hollywood films now. He says it all depends on who you know and what big actors and actresses you can get. He may be able to help the project in someway.


Also, I personally know a man named Jonathan Taplin. He was the manger for The Band, produced the concert for Bangladesh with Goerge Harrison, produced Martin Scorseses first film, I believe he was a professor at Berkeley for some time, he’s also written some successful books on music history and releasing music in the modern world. Anyway, I’ve worked with his son on three full length albums and have a good connection to him. He is God conscious and may be able to help as well.


HpS -Super. Tomorrow we can look at Ambarisa/Vrsabhanu's work and see if our perspective is up on Youtube. What you are saying fits so well into what we want to do.

Welcome to:

Hari Wood


I really appreciated what you said a few months ago when you were talking about Gandhi the film. “Movies happen because God wants them to” I am keeping this in mind as I am trying to release another album and struggling and almost giving up.


Maharaja, please forgive me if I am wasting your time here. I also have faith and trust that you don’t waste your time.


But please let me know if any of this is useful to you.


I know that my main service to you is to chant my rounds enthusiastically, follow the principles strictly and rise by 4am to do morning program. I have so long to go just to improve these services so this is what I’m trying to focus on and prioritize.


Your classes continue to give me hope and inspiration and get me through almost every work day. Thank you Maharaja for having mercy on me and giving me such a clear connection to this most highest philosophy.


We hope and pray that we may see you in August. Please let us know what we can do to facilitate.


your aspiring servant,

-Nitisara das


P.S. Thank you so much for your letter. We relished every word and illustration. We have been discussing your question about Gandhari. Was she a good mother to Duryodhana? Is this a question of following Vedic culture verses following Vaishnava principles? How do we understand?


ASA -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EENh1hxkD6E

30.04 - 33.04

105.39 - (108.05) - 109.08


Some ideas. SP only gives a few comments about her as we know. So many characters, men and women, in the Maha-bharata seem to be like us, devotees with material attachments, going through strong experiences to get free from them.

One line comment will do

4 years, 3 months ago by harsh_horse in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP.

After divine intervention, we got many people referring to Dr. Brian Weiss.

So we read some of pages on progression " Same soul many bodies".


We come to one line motto now. In life, there are no unfulfilled desire, but only unlearned lessons.


Please comment or validate or correct


HpS - Hmmm. Seems like good idea. but is such a short aphorism that can be interpreted in different ways. I think is good attitude for you and me!

Of course, Kardama and Devahuti is example of fulfilling desires as a lesson.
