The  SATTVA General Coordination Meeting   was super productive, we have already specified the details of our participation in your March tour to South America, we are adjusting the details of April.

 Attendance:  Mother Candra-mukhi dd, Jagat-pavitram d, Palika dd, Nitya Kisori dd, Gauri dd, Tarangaksi dd, Rukmini, etc.

Ramón asked me to tell You  that he is excited and grateful for the powerpoint show that you did for him. Oscar continues editing  the film, still missing the material of Beverly Zabriesky, I hope to speak with her this weekend in order to make a decision with you about it, is that okay?

Last week, in our Callao Asrama, we had for 5 days the auspicious visit of your Godbrother Arcita prabhu, his association and his classes were very inspiring. He liked to talk to You after so many years, he is an artist of photography and is willing to collaborate in what we humbly request for ART AND THE SACRED: He can write an article for SOLARIS, an interview or select his photos or from  other artists about Sacred Art.

VILLA SOL, Country house, is called the place where we will make the "Spiritual Retreat: A HARE KRISHNA EXPERIENCE, simple life, high thinking" on March 16th, 17th and 18th in Chosica, in the next report we will provide all the details on this topic.

Endote, 1 - Certainly. First let us apologize for not answering this report earlier. Our little devotional strength gets confused when we travel like this, so many programs, so many devotees

to talk with. We talked with your about Beverley and she can't record and interview but said she would write for 'Solaris'.

Endote, 2 - When we get to Peru let us discuss the Journal, magazine.

Endote, 3 - Who will be joining the Dialogs? Are there questions we are going to discuss? Can everyone give a sumarry of their answers to the questions before we meet?

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

My grandmother passed away two days back and was cremated yesterday. She was my father's mother and was very dear to me. She practically raised me and my brother as both my parents were working. I just met her last month when I was in India.

My only regret is that I was not able to convince her to take up Krishna Consciousness. I request you and all the devotees in this blog to pray for her so that she may get the association of devotees in her next life at least and go back to Krishna soon.

Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna!  Was she worshipping Shiva?  Narayana??   A Su-karmi??? She raised you and you became a devotee.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva 

AGTSP

PAMHO

I hope your tour has been a success so far

I was coordinating with some devotees about your itinerary in order to send to You, but one devotee told me that she will write by herself to You, and that she will wait until your answer, so in order to avoid misunderstandings I agreed. That is why  I am sending this with one week of delay please excuse me, In addition yesterday I arrived from Huanchaco (Trujillo) really beautiful place. (another letter) so I 'm catching up on my duties. Again excuse me.

HpS - As we mentioned in the letter to The Yugala Kishora Dasi, we need to know more about the schedule after we returnt before we can fix things. The first part seems fine, could be printed into  poster, but we would probably be making decisions about the days in April even while we are in Peru in March.

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaj, Pamho, AGTSP!
As I have been commenting lately, my focus on my service to ISKCON is now directed to the sastric education. I want to contribute with renewed educational technology that I am learning and remembering in my master's studies.
There is still a lot of work to be done to continue developing bhakti sastri and Bhakti Vaibhava, at least in Spanish. I ask you, please, to allow me to add things to your brilliant and unparalleled study guides "tava pace pace". Especially in matters of dynamics and other reinforcement and feed-back exercises, etc. Even Spanish still needs to improve.
I also urgently ask to formally participate in the curricular development group on Saturday mornings. I have requested my inclusion on several occasions. The first objective is to continue studying and also to prepare myself to continue teaching. And of course, the educational material will be transferred to Spanish.
Please, if you think it is convenient, send me the material and the links to my gmail, which I understand would be the means of communication for the group.
[email protected]
I'm still worried about the subject of the BS and BVB examination center. I hope it is resolved in your visit to Peru.
Thank you very much.
ssLAD

HpS - From our (imperfect point of view)Education in ISKCON is in much disorder, but we are going ahead!!!  You should write to Srinivasa das with a copy to me. I will Skype you his address.

If your participation is integrated it will be wonderful.

AGTSP,PAMHO

B Miguel Angel asked me for some help and clarifications

Ganga mataji showed him an email from U where U wrote that You did not know him.. He was surprised because you called him arcángel and also he told me that U know that he has a rock band etc. He took the test for initiation last week and took formal shelter in your last visit.

HpS - Yes, we were confused by seeing his full, big name. Yes, we know him and we wrote to th everyone and him that it seems very proper for him to take intitiation.

On the other hand B Wilfredo Martínez who has already taken the exam for formal shelter I am kind of sure that You did not know him.. Jiva shakti d, lad,me etc do not have good references from him, but miguel angel is fixed in his.service we feel that we need more communication with the authorities.

HpS - This Refugee stage is for getting to know people, no?  That is why we ask all Refugees to write to the Blog so we, you, me, he can all get to know each other.

I am attaching some.pictures from B Miguel Angel he is in blue jacket and he has long hair near the Vyasasana

He asked me this as a favor

So sorry to bother U with these things

See U soon

Your useless servant

HpS - Your useless bishop.
