Manuel's Report 01-2024

10 months ago by manuel in Special Category A

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada and his sincere and determined disciples, like you.


Excuse the silence of these last few months, I have been involuntarily put “in the freezer”, but now, due to the inspiration of the activities around your Vyasa-puja made to Glorify you and the Parampara we are returning with many power.


These last few months, ARTd has been trying to be useful in building the NIOS website for the Hispanic world (it is 80% ready).


Four more points have been absorbing the Thakurji's energy these days: SOLARIS No 8, the Spanish edition of WOD, a book of comparative eastern epistemology, in Spanish, by Miguel Polo sponsored by NIOS and finally developing a strategic dialogue of identity about Who I am? about us? and what is NIOS?


ASA/HpS 😲 👍 👍👍


In this report I am going to focus on the Hispanic NIOS website, and the dialogue about the identity of NIOS.

Let us begin.


Now that H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami has retired from all administrative work (in NIOS and also in ISKCON


ASA - He is still trying to do as much as he can but with more informal commitment.


to dedicate himself, mainly, to “Kirtaniya sada Hari” this implies that his leadership, in this field, has to be attended, as a team, by All of us who identify 108% with preaching in the academic world, clear, according to our humble possibilities.


Although we are very far from continuing with the academic Sankirtana, for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada, as H. H. HpS has been doing in recent decades, still, out of respect, appreciation and reciprocity with him we are going to do it on 2 levels (one practical and the another conceptual and strategic).


At the first level (in practice) we think that the best way to maintain and grow all the seeds that SS HpS has sowng and cultivated in the academic world in Latin America and Spain is with excellent communication and organization through a page web, this is, the main reason for giving priority to this endeavor.


asa🐵

  1. website
  2. magazine
  3. bulletin


At this point we would like to humbly ask H. H. HpS, Tom Brown, Buck White and the entire ASA crew for their advice and suggestions. All contribution is welcome.


asa - above. 😃


In a fact that HH Hanumatpresaka Swami was the one who gave and still gives the perspectives and lines of work in NIOS, that is the basis on which we are organizing ourselves (Leverage the benefits of theoretical and practical knowledge of the West and Classical India. Reflect and dialogue about what the Psyche or Atma is (Bhagavad-gita 2.12 and others). According to these perspectives, for NIOS, its central activity coincides with the beginning of the objective declared in the Bhagavata Purana: “to distinguish reality from illusion for the sake of everyone.” To properly apply these concepts we need to develop a systematic dialogue about the vision and mission of NIOS.


Finally, although I am an unqualified monkey disguised as good intentions, let me offer you, for your Glorious Vyasa-puja, a brief message:

His tireless dedication to serving Srila Prabhupada has illuminated the spiritual path of all of us who have had the great fortune to know you.

We are determined that his legacy continues to inspire an authentic spiritual connection in academia with Srila Prabhupada's books.

Thank you very much for Guiding us with Wisdom, Humor and Love.

(Muchas gracias por Guiarnos con SHA SHA SHA: Sabiduría, Humor y Amor.

Note: This part of the message, if translated, is not understood.)


Eternally at your service, Bhakta Manuel.


ASA/HpS - we attaching some photos. any of them belong to you (manuel)?

your perspective and effort seems to be on the path.

seems you are realizing deep yogic principles and austeridades

thank you.

thanks to all involved in these efforts!

expect substantial results.

Todas Las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a sus discípulos sinceros y determinados como tú!!


Disculpa el silencio de estos últimos meses, he sido puesto, involuntariamente “en la congeladora”, pero ahora, debido a la inspiración de las actividades en torno a su Vyasa-puja hechos para Glorificarlo a usted y al Parampara estamos volviendo con mucha potencia.


Estos últimos meses, ARTd ha estado tratando de ser útil en la construcción de la web de NIOS para el mundo hispánico (está lista en un 80 %). Cuatro puntos más ha estado absorbiendo la energía del Thakurji en estos días: SOLARIS No 8, la edición en español de WOD, un libro de epistemología oriental comparada, en español, de Miguel Polo auspiciado por NIOS y finalmente desarrollar un dialogo estratégico de identidad acerca de quién soy? quiénes somos? ¿y que es NIOS?


En este informe me voy a centrar en la pagina web de NIOS hispánico, y el dialogo acerca de la identidad de NIOS. Empecemos.


Ahora que SS Hanumatpresaka Swami se ha retirado de toda labor administrativa (en NIOS y también en ISKCON) para dedicarse, principalmente, a “Kirtaniya sada Hari” esto implica que su liderazgo, en este campo, tiene que ser atendido, en equipo, por todos los que nos identificamos al 108% con la predica universitaria y de acuerdo a nuestras humildes posibilidades. Aunque estamos muy lejos de continuar con el Sankirtana académico para el placer de Srila Prabhupada como SS HpS lo ha venido haciendo en estas últimas décadas, aun así, por respeto, aprecio y reciprocidad con él vamos a hacerlo en 2 niveles (uno practico y el otro conceptual y estratégico).


En el primer nivel (en la práctica) pensamos que la mejor manera de mantener y hacer crecer todas las semillas que SS HpS ha sembrado y cultivado en el mundo académico en América latina y España es con una excelente comunicación y organización a través de una página web, esa es la razón principal de darle prioridad a este emprendimiento. En este punto queremos pedirle humildemente su consejo y sugerencias a SS HpS, Tom Brown, Buck White y a toda la tripulación de ASA. Todo aporte es bienvenido.


En un hecho que SS Hanumatpresaka Swami era quien daba y aun da las perspectivas y líneas de trabajo en NIOS, esa es la base sobre la cual nos estamos organizando (Tomar los beneficios del conocimiento teórico y practico de occidente y de la India Clásica. Reflexionar y dialogar acerca que es la Psique o Atma (Bhagavad-gita 2.12 y otros). De acuerdo a estas perspectivas, para NIOS, su actividad central coincide con el comienzo del objetivo declarado en el Bhagavata Purana: “distinguir la realidad de la ilusión por el bien de todos”. Para aplicar apropiadamente estas perspectivas necesitamos desarrollar un dialogo sistemático acerca de la visión y misión de NIOS.

 

Finalmente, aunque soy un mono descualificado disfrazado de buenas intenciones permítame ofrecerle, por su Glorioso Vyasa-puja, un breve mensaje:


Su dedicación incansable por servir a Srila Prabhupada ha iluminado el camino espiritual de todos los que hemos tenido la gran fortuna de conocerlo.

Somos monos determinados a que su legado continúe inspirando una autentica conexión espiritual en el mundo académico con los libros de Srila Prabhupada.

Muchas gracias por Guiarnos con SHA SHA SHA: Sabiduría, Humor y Amor.


Eternamente a su servicio, Bhakta Manuel.

Dear Guru Maharaja,


please accept my humble obeisances on your lotus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.


I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to write to you on the auspicious day of your appearance.

 In your enlightening association is hope for everyone and with all your travelling you bestow the ultimate benefit upon people in general.

Thank you for your austere and sacrificial life,


In Srimad Bhagavatam (8.7.44)

it is said that great personalities almost always accept voluntary suffering because of the suffering of people in general.

This is considered the highest method of worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is present in every one's heart.


Purport:

Here is an explanation of how those engaged in activities for the welfare of others are very quickly recognized by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord says in Bhagavad-gita ( 18.68-69 ) ya idam paramam guhyam mad-bhaktesv abhidhasyati, na ca tasman manusyesu kascin me priya-krttamah, "One who preaches the message of Bhagavad-gita to My devotees is most dear to Me..."



 There are different kinds of welfare activities in this material world, but the supreme welfare activity is the spreading of Krishna consciousness.

...if one tries to spread Krishna consciousness all over the world,

he should be understood to be performing the best welfare activity.

The Lord is automatically very pleased with him.

If the Lord is pleased with him, what is left for him to achieve?


 

  GURUDEV!

kṛpā-bindu diyā, koro' ei dāse,

tṛṇāpekhā ati hīna

sakala sahane, bala diyā koro',

nija-māne spṛhā-hīna


 Gurudeva, O spiritual master!

Give to this servant just one drop of mercy. 

I am lower than a blade of grass. Give me all help. 

Give me strength. 

Let me be as you are, without desires or aspirations.

Hare Krsna Gurudev,


Please accept our humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.


Thankyou so much for your instruction and I want to take it very seriously. If there is any further advice on how I can best execute making sure my husband and children get picked up and dont fall down again and again, I would like to do my best to humbly apply. I realize I cant force anyone to attend devotional events or go places. I am still attending weekly and trying to offer some service to the children on a weekly basis. I do feel that I need to do so much more and at times feel at a loss. I am working full time and trying to support an emerging teenager full-time now as well. My husband is home homeschooling and taking care, chanting his rounds. Any further guidance is appreciated.


Also, I tried to deselect a photo of a baby that was on my computer and was posted in the last letter. The website would not go back and let me deselect. If we can unpublish or take down this photo Gurudev this would be appreciated. It was sent by accident.


Thankyou and begging to be of a lot more service to Srila Prabhupada and ISKCON,


Kamagayatri dd


hps/asa -- agtsp. so happy to hear of your good spirits and situation. do not think that your efforts are not used by KRSNA in achieving wonderful goals.

we found the previous Post. found a very nice picture of a baby which we sadly removed. then we found some files with unknown video file-type extensions that we also removed.

is that oll korrect?


it, the sun, is at 2.42pm here in nila-madhava dhama.

today, since 1.17am, our bodily energy has been very low.

ragged heart beats etc.

INDRIYA


maybe this body, buddy, burro will collapse today, pusya-abhiseka purnima.

nice day to travel to next destination.

in any case seems we have to accept that it may be very low on physical and mental strength from here on.

INDRIYA/MANAS



experiencing excellent intellectual and spiritual development.

BUDDHI/ATMA


hope that you-all become more and more integrated in guru and gauranga's limitless sankirtan adventure and work!
