Hare Krsna, esteemed Hanumatpresaka Swami maharaja,

PAMHO. AGTSP.

(To avoid confusion, please read in English only.)

Regarding your kind question:

"What was your idea about the name: Solar Es...?

It is aimed at being and academic periodical."

I actually didn't write "Solar Es". I wrote "Solaris". (It must've been wrongly rendered "Solar es" in Spanish by the automatic translation service.)

It is a play of words derived from the visual design of Solaris and the texts which describe the character of the jornal: "Intercultural Journal" and "Contributions for a new culture"--both sentences I found dispersed in the cover and the following page (Solaris 4/4 Oct 2019, provided by P. Abhirama Th. d.)

1. Solaris, means "pertaining to the sun" in Latin. That is solar, in English.
2. I simply articulated those two sentences following Solaris.
3. Solaris connotes "effulgence," "enlightenment," etcetera.
4. So, "Solaris" is "Enlightenment," "Solaris" is (divine) "Effulgence."
5. Just by changing the colour of the syllable "is," one can read simultaneously "Solaris" and "Solar-is" (no translation). And, with the other two sentences, one could understand that "Solar-is-Intercultural-journal," and that "Solar-is-Contributions-for-a-new-culture," because this intercultural journal aims at reflecting the enlightening divine radiance of God by means of contributions for a new culture.
6. It is a visual articulated sutra, aforism, or apotegma. That was my intention: to show form the very logo design that your magazine is spiritual thinking expressed in terms of refined intelectual honesty. No improvisations.

Thank you so much, maharaja for your precious time and attention. I'm sure ISKCON is blessed with so many complementary talents, and, if mine suits the goal of your excellent journal, I would be happy.

Your humble servant,

Gopa-swami dasa [GPS]

HpS - ASA --- Thank you for your effort. Just spent 1-hour talking with Abhirama Das about Solaris etc. Everyone liked your ideas about design, (but in the end considered that most of what they are doing now was better). 😁

"Orangutans are skeptical of changes in their cages,

And the Zoo Keeper is very fond of rum!", Simon and Garfunkel.

Abhirama Th. Das is hoping you can work with Solaris more in editorial sense, from what I understand. If you can help, it is great!!!

Girivaradhari Das: Hare Krsna! Dear Gurudev, Dandavat Pranam. Jibesh Das Prabhuji wants to submit some amount in your account.

Please advise, Thank you

HpS - ASA - AgtSP!!!! Paoho.... So, nice to hear from you! We don't know how to transfer money from him to our USA NIOS account. If he can give it for local ISKCON work and supervise how they use it, that is wonderful, for us, for you, for ... https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/4/31/14/

... and send us news of the use!

Subal Das, ISKCON Berkeley,

Please accep my most humble obediences. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you Guru Maharaj.

How are you? We hope everything is well with your health. We miss you and especially at this times Guru Maharaj. Hare Krishna.

HpS -- We are fine! 🙂 There are no obstacles for devotees!!! Only new oportunities. After Krsna killed Putana, they burned her body and it made a good smell!

How, who, is the family? Spiritually? School, Work, Religion!

Monkeys come,

Monkeys go,

But Rama-lila will always grow!

Because it is so much fun! Radha-Krsna, Gopa-Gopi, Want to play it in Vrndavana from Sun to Sun.

It takes place in Kamyavan.

Energy has be down to 5%. So we must chant slowly to pay the rent.

This Donkey is a rental car,

But if you use it properly it can take you far....

..... back home, back to godhood.

As many of you know, HH Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaj has tested positive with Corona Virus and has been in ICU since June 18th, 2020.

Below is the latest update on his health...

Update - 28 June - 9.15 AM US EDT 

Dear devotees, 

The medical team has reviewed Maharaj’s progress for last 12 hours. 

Maharaj is on the ventilator and his condition is stable. 

His blood pressure and parameters are stable. Maharaj’s infection is being very closely monitored. 

We humbly request to please continue to pray intensely with intent as we desperately want to see our dear Maharaj coming out of the ICU with his lovely smiling face. 

Humbly in service, 

HH BCS medical care team.

Oink! Oink Whoop! WHoop!

D! Yet, happy.(See attached photo).

ASA - How are you? Our eyes are dying. Our head does not ache. Our stomach is a little dull from a little too much lunch. Our heart is strong from the Mexico BBT, We Never Went to the Moon class, with Daitesa Das et al.

97+ Devotees.

Answered letters. Got 10/16 rounds done. Bro. Ass is starting to have muscle cramps and prolonged bruised (?) tendons. It is like an old tool, no? Eg. the thermostat on our heater broke, so we opened it up and soldered a wire around the thermostat and now it works when we plug it in.

So, happy when we can completely use up everything Krsna has given us! No wasting His gifts! Like M. Puri and the sweet rice.

Any more news?

We get our rounds done, we keep FMP and SB (and NOI at night) pretty well. Mail pretty well. Kapi Dhvaja. Walk/Talk with NgD. Building and equipment maintenance.

MOE - Viplavah

NIOS ---- Solaris ????? ! Maybe we should make this the last issue and focus on the ASA Encyclopedia?

LTE- Such nice letters today! Nanda goes to Dallas. Somebody else goes to Boise.

HAre KRsna, HAre KRsna... O.K. More Japa.
