Esteemed Badri-narayana Swami et al,

PAOHO.... It was very nice to have your cheerful, insightful association during the SGGS in Mayapura. After that we traveled for about seven more weeks with very good results. We finished off the ten weeks of travel in Boise just last week and can summarize the excellent results of the visit as we hope will be of use to you in a few following words.

1. Temple functions are going on with excellent co-ordination.

2. Ananta-rupa Das has touched our heart with the progress he has made in developing educational programs as we suggested. eg. There is now strong internet connection in the Temple so that classes can be shared online, daily Temple classes are underway and a regular, weekly, SB reading/study group is finishing the first two cantos. We will join it.

3. We talked with ARD for about 4-1/2 hours individually and with Srivasa-pandita Das from San Jose. We had similar extended discussions with Srinivasa Das and others and we feel satisfied that very significant progress was made in adjudicating differences and developing similarities.

4. We continued with very, very strong programs in 'Jung and the Bhagavata' at BSU as well as packed Temple and home programs.

5. We did tons individual and family consultation with Temple, congregation and visiting devotees. Walked all the way to the Rose Garden with Srivasa-pandita Das from ISV and his family.

6. We should be available to participate by telephone if it is needed while you are there.

7. One last point. CENSORED BY THE SUPREME UNDIFFERENTIATED COMANDO OF ASA.

We are like the soil. You are like the sun. If you can find some way to use us, that certainly will be done.

HpS

Jaya Sri Krsna!

After 12-weeks of excellent travel, being bounced about in at least 19-different airplanes, we have returned to our little cottage-by-the-road in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We go for 44-minute evening walks with Dr. Ravi each day and are beginning to sort out all the results from the tour.

One thing that stands out very, very prominently was the Congress in Santa Barbara. Thank you Patricia for inviting us. Thank you Beverely and everyone for staging it.

1. We saw Prof. Shonu Shyamdasani in the flesh. For us it was like seeing the Pope for the first time. He even looked at us and, was probably wondering what a Buddhist monk was doing at a Jung Congress.

2. Our understanding of the character of the Jungian community has increased 20-times at least.

3. We derived so much benefit in our personal endeavors, and received so much education, that it was very much worth the extreme investment of time and resources for us. Thank you.

4. We can go on for a long time, but specifically, we think more than ever that there is opportunity and necessity for integral work with our NIOS efforts and your good selves and other Jungian entities such as the Philemon Foundation.

• Intellectually the first rapport might be to discuss the work of Prof. David Haberman from Indiana University on our 15th century saint, scholar, statesman, Rupa Goswami and Jung's realizations and experiences.
• If Philemon is planning on turning its very big guns on Jung's visit to India we have excellent contacts at Calcutta University who might be able to help, but they are getting old.
• As Patricia noted the next Congress on art and the creative imagination might be successfully held in Peru, for example in 2022. Again we are signing a Convenio with San Marcos University right now for the next three years on our "Education and the Sacred" cycle. They look more substantial than the National Museum with whom we were partners for the last three years.
• Can you all participate in the above mentioned cycle?  Education and the Sacred? We expect grand participation in our Journal, "Solaris", symposium with San Marcos, Jesuits, ICCR from India, et al.
• Finally, we have heard Jungian Psychologist Beverely Zabriesky mention at least three times that the Introduction to the 'Red Book' by Prof. Shyamdasani is the most excellent resource Jungians have for presenting a summary of Jung's ideas. So, is there any plan to publish it, soon, as a separate book? I, for example, am in contact with a 'large new-age religious cult' of over 1-million members of whom many would love to understand Prof. Jung's experiences and conclusions and then engage in dialog on those from the perspective of the Sanskrit, Vedic, Bhagvata traditions for practical solutions to the world and ones own personal problems.

O.K. I was floored by three daze of the Congress, so I hope this letter is a little bit of revenge in kind. Thank you. Hope to hear from you soon.

AGTSP paoho Our third day in our Base Camp. Things going pretty well. Today we spent one hour conversing with Art Das about the program in Peru (Bolivia, (Argentina (Chile))) and working on the Calendar in general for South American, Spain, India.

Lots of little details here and there.

Offered two sandwiches on bread made by Tandavika Das family to Lord Nrsmha deva and 1-liter yogurt with fruit.

Blog mail is catching up O.K:

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Please accept my most humble obeisances.

Hare Krishna dear Gurudev.

I hope you are very well, forgive my lack of communication. I always end up not writing to you because I know you are very busy and I like to leave the preference for other students who need it for important things.

HpS - Seems your rhythm in writing is good. We all need your association from time to time!

I keep reading your news on the blog and in Jayarama. This year has been very intense for me. Thank you for always keeping me in your service. I am totally sheltered under your instructions, always trying not to deviate from the sense gratification.

I kept these last 7 months distributing the SP books daily and it has been a very deep experience in my spiritual life. When I'm doing this book distribution I feel that I can do it forever and Krsna is giving me that blessing, I am sure that it is because of your mercy.

HpS - One of the duties of Krsna's servants in Goloka is to carry messages to the Gopis and canvas them as participants in His pastimes. Maybe you will be a Sankirtan devotee like that in Goloka. Maybe you are a parrot in Goloka. Ha! Ha! Ha! Rey!

The Sastra-seva program that Aravinda and Baladeva Prabhu organized in Mendoza was a total success, we had visits from H.H. Bhakti Bhusana Swami, Bhakti Sundara Maharaja and Purusatraya Maharaja. We studied the first 6 chapters of BG, Sri Isop, LOB, etc. and did a marathon in Argentina where we distributed more than 7000 books. Maybe Next year we may finish the course at Sri Govardhana Mar del Plata.

Aravinda Prabhu liked the community very much. Right now I am in Santiago de Chile for about 15 days and for the day of Lord Ramacandra's Apparition I travel to Campina Grande, Brazil for the Gbc college meeting and then I will stay in Nova Gokula for 10 days reviewing the study of the first Canto of the SB with my friend Goura daya Natha ... it seems that on our way back we are going to do a marathon to helping BBT in Chile for 15 days before the cold arrives ...

Then we go to the Mar del Plata farm to spend the winter with the cowboys in the area (Adi yajña, Nikunja, Ekacakra, etc) I hope to be able to serve you directly when you visit Argentina ... I ask your blessings to continue in service, control the mind and the senses. I also hope to satisfay with my efforts .....

thank you very much ...

Your servant

HpS - AgtSP. https://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/4/12/32 and next verse. 😀

We are making plan for SA travel right now.

Querido Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP y sus seguidores fieles.

Suelo leer el blog de forma regular (algunas cartas) y puedo ver que ya está en el mundo civilizado-informatizado. Por aquí sin grandes cambios; meditando en lo importante y lo dificil que es volverse un devoto autentico. La muerte está acechando y tenemos que entregarnos mas pronto que tarde. "nasty eva, nasty eva, nasty eva."

En cuanto a mi opinión sobre el asram de sannyasa tengo que decirle que (mezclando sadhu- sastra) entiendo que sannyasa es para los brahmanas y tengo alguna duda de que esté recomendado en Kali yuga. Pero debido a que el ACARYA BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI lo ha recomendado, aceptamos que en kali yuga se pueda tomar sannyasa (brahmana). El sintoma de que que el vaisnava brahmana está listo para tomar sannyasa puede ser que cuando cante el maha mantra su mente no sobrevuele el estercólero de la complacencia sensual al menos durante seis meses. Otra cualificación subjetiva sería que el asram de sannyasa indefectiblemente lo vuelva a uno mas humilde (si no es así nadie debería aceptar ese asram). Evidentemente me encuentro lejos de esa posición y tenemos que servir desde posiciones sociales mas humildes.

Sin mas y esperando se encuentre bien de ánimo se despide su sirviente (posiblemente torpe)

HpS - Super perspectiva, gracias! Que piensa de esta verso - https://www.vedabase.com/es/sb/1/6/13 ??? Claro una estandard es esperar hasta los muchachos son madura, y puede la esposa, como ejemplo de Devahuti y Kardama. Otro es tomar votas formal de Vanaprastha y no a Sannyasa. La muerte es Sannyasa si le gustamos o no. Entonces tomando esta ashrama en esta vida es buen preparacion. Que piensa. Buen diagolo para muchos.
