ASA - Hare Krsna, Nanuk Ji.  Most of your letter is too technical for us to apply, but very satisfying to our soul. Thank you... !       Did you watch our "Art and the Sacred" video at youtube (nios image)?

Hare Krsna Dear gurudeva

PAMHO   ______'0_

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada and U!

First of all i want to apologize for not organizing my time to see you... I really wanted to see you but I was not be able due to work...

This year I'm teaching kids of 3rd grade, a new experience for me.  This is really a great challenge.

Waldorf Pedagogy says that the greatest Divine revelation is a developing human being. If one learns to know about growing human beings, not merely the anatomical-physiological aspects, one learns how soul and spirit flow down into the physical body. Then any knowledge of the human being transforms itself into religiosity, into devotional, awed reverence before that which streams into the temporal surface from Divine depths. That is how we receive that which supports and sustains us as teachers and what children already sense, that which becomes dedication and natural authority.

At this age (9-10 years old), if a child cannot turn, full of acceptance and with venerable respect, to an adult, he or she will not have the crucial guiding force and inner soul-spiritual resilience needed for further inner development such as can be predisposed through religious training in which feelings like devotion and reverence are fed and nourished. “Therefore, we should establish our education and instruction in such a way that, in the class where children cross the Rubicon, between the ages of 9 and 10, we really stand before them so that, through our own morality, through that which we possess of inner veracity and content of soul, we can really be something to children; not merely have an effect as an exemplary model, but that everything we say will be perceived as truth.”

We really like this kind of thinking cause you do not see only the corporeal but also the spiritual. 

In some way it pushes us to keep our sadhana properly. We are very happy for that.

Thanks a lot for all your support and help.

                                                I work, I learn,

                                                I work by learning,

                                                I learn by working.

Your servant

HpS - Thank you for your letter. Some one may live for only a few days. Some one for many years. The best thing is die when we are supposed to within the plan of Krsna and the Gopis. Please write with more news, experiences. Let us meet your students.

Maharaja….this is what i had sent….

Respected Maharaja….Sahasra dandavat pranama apnar padapadme….

Up to this point, the BOEX (ISKCON Board Of Examiners ..for sastric study,..) has developed standards for the sastric degrees starting at one end (bhakti sastri) and working up….Problem with this approach is that we don’t really know where we will end up…

What about if we looked at all the 4 degrees simultaneously, from a broad perspective, based upon the statements Prabhupada made, then filled in details accordingly…?

Considering this…from a broad perspective, based upon the statements Prabhupada made…what would you consider to be symptoms of the respective degree holders in terms of their:

acar …(behaviour)

vicar ..(knowledge)

pracar…(missionary commitment)?

Bhaktisastri?

Bhaktivaibhava?

Bhaktivedanta?

Bhaktisarvabhauma?

Looking forward to reading your thoughts on this at your soonest convenience…

Thank you very much...Your servant, Atul Krsna Das,   BOEX Chairman

Hare Krsna. A Latin American GBC, Executive Committee Meeting Started at 8AM. Now it is closing at 10.15AM. Ooof. Our eyes are better but still some struggle.

1. I have a lot of ideas about the diplomas, Sastric Education. I would like very much to talk with you about it.

2. Basically, as we see it now, there are so many ways to associate with Srila Prabhupada through his books, but he specifically suggested these formal studies. It was not just a passing mention as some people say but he persisted in this for much time.

3. Is there a collection of the room conversations and letters on his formation of these formal studies? Even a history of the application etc would be good, but is a big project.

4. We feel that ISKCON management does not appreciate education in our institution sufficiently. One response to this is that educators in this perspective have to enlighten them.

5. That these diplomas mentioned by Srila Prabhupada were to correspond to Secondary School (Bh. Sastri), Bachelor (Bh. Vai). PhD (Bh. Vedanta) and Professor (Bh. Sarvabhauma).

6. We think it is very important that Prabhupada mentioned that each diploma should include the previous books. Then Bh.Sastri, BG, would be a Secondary School reading. In Bh. Vaibhava the student would teach it to Bh. Sastri students and read Bhurijana Das's commentary for example.

Prabhupada expected the Sannyasis, Bh. Vai, to know the Mangala archana Prayers and I would also say that we should be testing on knowledge of the basic songs and prayers of the full morning and evening program.

Thus we could say that at first initiation one should be able to follow the full morning program. At Second Initiation (Bh. Sastri) one should be able to lead the full morning program and at third initiation, Sannyasa (Bh. Vai) one should know the word by word meaning of the full morning program.

Then the same development should be there for knowing BG verses for example.

8. The verses are a specific topic that I would like to discuss. For example, one could become Bh. Sarva Bhauma and never know, "nityo nityanams, cetanas cetananam... Katha 22.13) because it is not in the verses of the texts we are studying. So we would prescribe important verses from the Purports as well as verses in the Texts themselves. We would also require review testing on the verses. Not memorize for the test and forget. We would also require strict testing only on singles Padas of verses if that is all Prabhupada uses. Of course, one does not have pass 100% on any of these things. Different tastes for different people.

These are some of our miserable ideas.

We have invested a tremendous amount of blood in developing systematic Sastric education and would like very, very much to discuss it with you.

Can you be available on-line June 21-24th for our American Regional Education Symposium? Physically it will be in Alachua, Florida and your participation will be super useful.

We see that systematic Sastric study should inspire spontaneous study, be fun, and be based upon developing skills of how to associate with others in this endeavor.

At your service, Mate,

HpS - ASA.

ASA - [TB] -- Got rounds to chant. Got no brains. Right eye disfunctional. Had great talk with Abhirama Thakura Das, Great FMP including Daily SB class.

The English --Art and the Sacred-- video is dynamite. Sent letters and lnks off to 30-people around the world.

Nice letters from Pablo, Priya, Mandara everyone.

Waiting for files from ART Das and then will send my Agenda Items to Tapan misra Das for the MOE meeting on Saturday.

---> We have this image again and again of a bunch of monkeys picking up roasted split peas from the ground around Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet and then he calls one of them and ties a scarf around his neck with a message in it and says, "Lalita!" or "Rupa" or "..." and the monkey jumps up and down a few times and whoops and heads off down the path like a rocket, hell bent for delivery.

You don't gotta have brains to work in this outfit. You just gotta use the tools you have when the Boss calls for them.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja.

Por favor acepte mis más respetuosas reverencias.

TLGASP

Espero se encuentre muy bien de salud.

Hace más de 2 meses.

HpS - ASA ---- Hmmmm Muy triste. ¡Esperamos que puedas unirte pronto!

Gurudev, estamos con el Curso para Disípulos, con 12 estudiantes y un co-facilitador de México.

Seguimos con el servicio de cocina y pujari de Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, 2 veces al mes.

<cite>How are You? I hope You're better than your conjunctivitis.</cite>

<cite>HpS - Much better but still right eye is still distorted.</cite>

<cite>Here in Nueva Vrajamandala everything is fine. I'm doing the service with the fields.</cite>

<cite>HpS - Hmmm!    You must be a saint or insane!    Everything fine in the material world.</cite>

<cite>Thanks to Radha Govinda Candra, my sadhana is fine. My rounds are good rounds (at least for me).</cite>

<cite>I am going to Vrajamandala Parikrama this year, I will also be in Vrndavan in Katyayani vrata</cite>

<cite>Varuna is fine. He tells me he's singing every day, at night, before going to sleep ... it's possible not every day ... hahaha, but some days for sure ... it's nice. He is beginning to understand what is important, in some way. I am trying to introduce him into the knowledge of the inner or higher being, and of the external or lower self. Introspection.</cite>

<cite>I ask him how is his relationship with Krsna and the child Jesus, and he says "very well". Agree!</cite>

<cite>I have seen classes of Yourself in Lima and Mexico, sooo nice classes and is a pleasure see You in video.</cite>

<cite>I've also seen the Art and the Sacret movie, in Spanish, so beautiful ... one of the best movies I've seen. Amazing exhibitions It get to my soul.</cite>

<cite>I hope you have had very good celebrations of Sita and Nrsimha.</cite>

<cite>Here I leave a poem in image. It is as if the author were thinking of Vrndavan, and that he is far from Vrndavan and Krsna.</cite>
