All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my try of humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
HpS - The only lotus feet I hope to 'have' are Srila Prabhupada's and that by the mercy of you and all the ISKCON devotees.
Pandemia Reflexiva
On May 31st we had the third Pandemia Reflexiva, lead by Humberto Maturana and Ximena Davila. I was the moderator.
The special guest was Ricardo Lagos Escobar, former president of this country. An 82 years old and passionate guy. The other guest was a young entrepreneur that create an app to help children who anonymously denounce bullying inside their schools and help the education communities.
In the tests, Lagos seems friendly and with long speeches. The other clarifies to him that is more a conversation.
The record of 900 people at the same time watching.
He has a journalist with him and in twitter, the people accuse him to talk too much and no listen (15 minutes, is supposed 8 each in the first round). The same judge to Ximena Davila, so the people request more participation from the moderator, me. And Ximena told me that on air.
Anyway, an interesting experience.
The fourth is supposed would be with Brasil, a lot of people from there in the virtual room and I gave LIVE the idea.
The subtitle of the next one is suggested by Maturana: "God needs a clown". They are between the most famous and social critic comedian of the country. Our producer still suggests your name. I don't want the pressure anybody.
Anyways, I'm thinking that your listening proficiency in Spanish is very good now but yeah, the problem is keeping it for one hour maybe. The other thing is a translator should be necessary besides me, someone with a big heart, capable of streaming emotions and strong voice.
HpS - Sounds beyond our range of communication. Humor is very culturally bound and we don't know the culture well enough!
My role is to be the interaction between people from chat and other "conversants". The last question that night was from Vicente. He said: "I have 11 years old, and I'm enjoying this with my mom, my question was Why we are visible and how to be happy?"
I think that your presence always would be a contribution to the people, always because is evident the Prabhupada empowerment in you.
HpS - We would like to participate but again the Spanish language dialog format seems impractical. Also maybe a long program for us. We would be exhausted for two days, maybe. Of course it is good to be exhausted for Krsna. Why else do we put gas in our tank.
Professional simultaneous translator?
Personal things
We are chanting 16 rounds every single day and following the principles. We are feeling that we are arriving closer at the platform of a civilized human been thank your help.
We are trying to understand Srila Prabhupada more and more.
HpS - ASA -- Us also!
Since last part of July, and following your advice of first is PEOPLE, and then, the PROJECTS. we have meetings every Monday (we will stop the next three Mondays of September) with a marriage couple of devotee with two teenager children. They are more intelligent than us, with masteries in university in bioethical and more emotional intelligence I think. They share practical knowledge about how we build values and moral codes as humans. Good association.
HpS - !
Since May, Tuesday and Thursday we started reading sessions of Srimad Bhagavatam, we are almost 4 months and we are just in the first 20 verses of the first chapter of the first canto, we are just 4 devotees. Since 26th July we started a TLC study, we are 6 there, they are very happy with the invitation. B.Sastri with Laksmana Tuesday night, Saturday NOD with Dhatri group and attending B.Gita "conversatorios" on Friday led by Visvanath. Aravinda das requested to me and other the three devotees, to be journalists in a new program to interview missioners online.
HpS - Super. You can do the same thing with the same people in Goloka. You can be green parrots.
We are discovering that we don't like to sleep too much but is supposedly bad for our health, and yeah, it seems is true. So my challenge now is going to the bed earlier. When I did it, is a whole other experience.
Finally, we are seriously considering going the country land with my father. The positive side is that my father would be with someone in his last years, is much better place for children and it would means a better use for money. But it seems that in my job they don't want to fire me. My idea is work from distance, three or two days a week. Maybe it's too much requirement considering my karma 😅
HpS - Sounds good. Come to Santiago Tuesday morning and leave Friday afternoon or something like that?
So, We are hoping to develop buddhi yogam tam to make a good decision and to be brave enough to do something about it when we have it.
Thank you... eternally to you, your kindness and personal presence all the time is a crucial part of our spiritual life. And we are getting ready to continue in this way if still, this body gets the eight years old. (80-years old?)
Hare Krishna.
Your servant, Jagad Guru Das.
