Letters to the editor

Hare Krisna Gurudev. Pamho.

Acabo de recibir este email de Nityananda prabhu de Portugal.

Es una invitación para dar una clase de Isopanisad.

No se si ésta dirección de email será buena.

Se lo pasaré por whatsapp también. El blog es algo lento.

Su sirviente, Jayanta Das

Querido Jayanta prabhu, por favor acepta mis humildes reverências. Toda glória a Srila Prabhupada.

Como estás prabhuji? Como va la familia? Espero que todo esté muy bien con ustedes.

Prabhu, hemos creado un grupo de estudio de los libros de Srila Prabhupada online. Somos unos 18 en total de várias partes del planeta. Estamos estudiando ahora el Sri Isopanishad.

Tu crees que SS Hanumat Presaka le gustaria dar una clase del Sri Isopanishad al grupo. La plataforma online es la ZOOM. Si Maharaja estubiera de acuerdo le daríamos el link para entrar y también el podria invitar a los diferentes discipulos e seguidores de su lista de emails por toda parte del mundo.

Las clases las damos los Lunes, Miércoles y Viernes. El horário es a las 19,30 españolas.

Quando puedas pregunta a tu Guru Maharaja sobre el tema. Desde nuestro grupo haremos propaganda a todos los templos y diferentes grupos de whatsapp en España y Portugal

Un abrazo prabhu

Tu sirviente, Nityananda das

HpS - ASA -- ¡Gracias, Jayanta Das! Eso sería 12.30 para nosotros. Es correcto, pero ya tenemos la carga máxima de clases diarias.

Hmmm

¿Tal vez podríamos hacer su clase el viernes y repetir el contenido el viernes por la noche en nuestro horario regular?

Hmmm

¿Quién traduciría? ¿Es Zoom con un número de teléfono de EE. UU.? De lo contrario, no funcionaría para nosotros. Demasiados datos.

¡¡Gracias!!

Estimado Professor Ferrar,

Ap kaisa he!?   How are your students?  Have some them graduated and married and become responsible citizens?     We continue our efforts in the battle of the forces of good against the forces of evil, sitting in the little village of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.  The Managning Editor for the next issue of ISKCON's Ministry of Education Journal, Viplavah, read your article and said that she was very gratified, but she thought that i would be best to put it in the next issue, which is academic. Our Oxford Professor, Ravi Gupta also wants it for the 2020 Fall issue since that is his academic issue. Is that O.K.?

You can see an excellent summary of our efforts at www.jayarama.us/news.htm. That is esoteric.  ISKCON is mesoteric and NIOS is exoteric. That is our Solaris Journal. With your permission we will first publish the article in Solaris this next month, it is being reviewed as an Indexed Journal, and then in Viplavah in September. Thank you for your excellent work.

Esteemed Dr. Professor S. Bandyopadhyaya, Brahmacari Purusottama-kesava Das et al,

Hare Krsna!!!     We are struggling to stay alive in the little village of Murfreesboro. and move forward, NIOS, ISKCON Ministry of Education, Latin American GBC and our own esoteric Anjana Suta Academy work.   ...    We have organized our ASA bulletin as our basic platform of communication: http://www.jayarama.us/news.htm, and this month is anniversary of 20-years of publication.  In this last issue especially, God's mercy and some real pain on our part, we were able to put all the work in 91% clear perspective.

Please look at it as you can and give us your criticism!!

Very specifically: Prof. here is a link to the very nice effort to place your Bio-data on Wikipedia. Our worker, Carlos Rold, from Chile, has faced different challenges but seems we are 87% ready to see it posted: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11123/

Number Two - PK Das, where are you? Professor, everyone is asking about you!   Can you also make a post to the Blog eg. Twenty-first Century Brahmacaria in ISKCON?    What was the conclusion about the NIOS-ISKCON Kolkata account?  NIOS has a substantial debt to Professor and his team for printing, editing last book.  If all the remaining funds had best go to ISKCON Kolkata, O.K.   Or if we can get our official reps in India eg. Sashi Prakasa Sing, Deputy Attorney General for Central Government, Uttar-pradesha to send an Invoice to the Temple. Or just have Prof. Sri Hari Das send proper compensation and adoration to Prof. that is another option.

Number Three - Prof.   a) How can we get Pracya-prajna articles into Solaris? b) Are there scholars that you know who would like to contribute to Solaris. It is in process with Prof. Miguel Polo et al of being reviewed for becoming academically Indexed Journal. We are poor as church mice but we can honestly offer proper honraria for articles. c) Abhirama et all want a(n series of) bio-graphical interviews of your good self. I have been trying to get the international media working with Ambarisa Das in Argentina. He and his wife are well respected, professional, video editors.  Remember the one we did quickly at the Gaudiya Matha?  That was edited and shown at the last Symposium, Education and the Sacred. Can we make a few interviews?  Are there some topics that appeal to you? One topic is why does one become a historian, especially of ancient culture?

Hector Behar ran successful Journal on Political Science for twenty years and suggest that we "Partner" with like five other Journals that, along with Solaris, will give a very serious view of the topics we are trying to communicate. We started with Bellas Artes from Lima last issue. We give them a page at the end of our Journal and they so the same for us. Who else, Stapatyam?

Hare Krishna Maharaja!

PAMHO

At the end of this message: proposal of new text about Dr. Samaresh biography for Wikipedia.

Thank you very much for letting me try to be an instrument of our Eternal Lord.

I just wanna be your servant,

Carlos.

HpS - ASA --- Thank you for the patience to deal with our sincere but slow moving efforts. Thank you. Sent your the very nice PDF of the award ceremony for Professor and the accompanying bio-data. If you integrate that with this information, especially citing a source besides NIOS, then it should pass the Wiki-police, no?

Hare Krishna Maharaj 

Pamho. 

How are you managing in these circumstances. Sorry I haven't communicated much. Read Prahalad prayers which is just fantastic. 

Pray for Lord Mercy on all of us

Respects, Hari Bol, Rknd

Hare Krsna, Prabhu et al,

We are struggling to be pure devotees! We have been in Murfreesboro for weeks now.

For the benefit of our reading audience, RKnd Das is a former astronaut or some such service for Nasa. He was invited to be the first man on the moon I think but decided to go to the Houston Temple for the Sunday Feast instead.

He is an avid SB reader and our long time associate from Houston. Mataji is an equally avid scholar.

Prabhu, we do very little communication outside of this Blog, because we are too stupid to function without 9-other people looking at us. Join here. Post news on your research into the service of Bhagavan.

We also send our daily news from here and fortnightly from the web page... www.JayaRama.US.

PLEASE - PLEASE - PLEASE

Join us here and send your research results!! Respects to your esteemed family.

Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

So grateful for accepting the transmission for ISKCON Mexico dated May 31.

I submit the topic proposal.

"Psychology in multicultural context"

Questions:

1) What should be the psychology of the devotee who is in a bicultural situation in which he faces being Hare Krsna and being inserted in a situation that demands fruitive activity?

2) How to healthy reconcile the differences derived from the cultural variables between devotees?

3) What does it mean to assume the identification as Vaisnava in a context like today?

Sincerely,

Your aspiring servant,

Govardhanesvari devi dasi
