Pamho. AgtSP
Thank you for your answer gurumaharaja. You are very kind and merciful. We are very very happy that you accepted this invitation. Your presence here will be very enlightening for all of us.
We´ll try to organize the trip with devotees from Peru and Argentina. I´ll check in the blog the communication.
We would like to know, What topics/course would you like to teach or share with the students?. It's possible to give a course or a dharshan (a talk, but not formally a course). For example, Dhanvantari swami and Yamuna acarya das goswami will give dharshan about this topics:
- Dhanvantari Swami: love and trust, self-leadership, sustainability, leadership models. 
- Yamunacarya maharaja will talk about non violent communication.
We also need to know how much time you will need to give each course/topic you want to teach.
We are finishing the organization of the entire program for the first residential. I´ll send soon a list with the details.

Maturesh prabhu told me that you asked him about how to reach Campina Grande (where the Jaladuta Institute is located ). The gbc-college course will be at the Instituto Jaladuta. 
There are two main options:

- The closest international airport is Recife. It's about 4 hours by car from Campina Grande.

- Next option is to arrive in Sao Paulo Airport and from Sao Paulo take an internal flight to Campina Grande. Sao Paulo has a lot of international conectionsWe will organize to cover your ticket. Do you want us to buy it or do you prefer to buy it and then we refund you?

Soon, I will send you details of what we have been working so far in the organization of the Gbc-College for Latin America.

Obeisances.

Your servant Devaki-nandana das.


HpS - Thank you. We will start to look for a ticket and how to co-ordinate with Argentina and Bajo and Alto Peru but please send us any ideas.

The seminar  is two weeks? Should we stay the while time or move on to other places, Argentina, Bolivia etc. What dates? Don't want to schedule Bolivia while everyone is in Brazil.

We can present: 1. Practical Experiences in ISKCON mangement: Head Pujari, Temple President, Zonal Legal Officer, Organizing Symposia with the Universities etc.; 2. Scriptural Perspective - Varna-Ashrama-Dharma and ISKCON Leadership - Sannyasis and Ksatriyas; 3. IMS - Information Management Systems - How to organize your time and facts; 4. Every Temple and Educational Center.

These could be short, all combined into one hour. They could be longer. They could be workshops with other presenters.

These are some of our first ideas.

Anuttama Das for President

7 years, 5 months ago by hps in Special Category A

Hare Krsna,

Anuttama Das Prabhu,
AGTSP!   Paoho.  How is your Grace?  Atreya Rsi Das told us that of all his GBC Godbrothers Hansadutta Swami was the most intelligent, but it wasn't is intelligence he worried about, it was his morality.
Hansadutta told us that we were "a man ahead of our time", but considering that I think the next suggestion is in time.
You should run for President of the United Sates of America with your wife as First Lady and Tulasi-garbha from Hawaii as you running mate, Vice-Presidential candidate.
Please tell your esteemed wife about this (Macbeth).
Both funny and all to serious.
All ISKCON Members would vote for you and support you. All our friends would vote for you. Dharmic and even sane people, the more we get our ideas out, would vote for you and maybe we would not win this time, but maybe we could get in as Secretary of Education, Human Resouces...
O.K. Balls in you Court, Mr. President Elect.

 Hare krishna Dear
 Gurumaharaja,
 All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
 PAMHO.
 I would you like to tell you that we are working
 very hard to bring the GBC College to Latin America next
 year. The idea is to offer the same training for leaders
 that their are offering in India, but for Latin
 America.
 The integrants of the GBC-College Latin America
 team are: 
 Dhanvantari
 swami.Rupanuga das (GBC-College
 President)Kaunteya das (Co-minister of
 congregational-developing)Bal Govinda
 das(Co-president of ISKCON
 Pune)Gauranga Das
 (Radhanath swami's
 disciple)Maturesh das
 (Bolivia)Divya Priya devi
 dasi (Ecuador)Ekanath gaura das
 (Jayapatala maharaja's servant)Prema rupa
 dasPrema Rupini devi dasiMitravinda
 devi dasi 
 and Me.
 The course will have 30 places
 available for student from all Latin-America (we are
 thinking to include Spain and Portugal too).The
 idea is to have two Residencials, and online courses. The
 first residencial will be from March 24 2018 to April 7
 2018. The second Residencial will be around March - April
 2019. In between we have on line courses.We know
 that you are one of the trusty of the GBC-
 College. We really, really, really
 want to invite you to this very important event.
 
 Do you have  any possibility to come to
 Brazil during that period? Could be for the first
 Residential or Second residencial or Both :-).
 Thank you very much,
 I hope to receive the mercy of having your
 personal association as soon as possible.
 Your servant Devaki-nandana das.

We have just been writing to Mathuresh Das and Balagovinda Das from Pune about this. We were scheduled to give a Keynote Address at a conference at the Jendal University in India in January but the stress to go back so soon will be too much, so we are now planning on camping here in Nashville for three months and then head South.
While in Ujjain, Gopal bhatta Das asked us if we could teach at the GBC College. and we have been in good contact with Rupanuga and Bala-Govinda Das.
We can probably attend both residential and also help you with the organization etc.
Shall we plan to be in South America from 1st week of March to 1st week of May and visit Brazil, Argentina and Peru?
Let us please correspond about this in the Blog. Copy of this letter will post there.
All respects to Maharaja and Mataji.
Paoho.

Reporte 1: volviendo a empezar

! Todas las glorias a sus señorías más misericordiosas Sri Sri Gaura Nitay!

! Todas las glorias a SrilaPrabhupada y a su sankirtana eterno que salva vidas!

Hare krishna querido Gurudeva, pamho, nuestro reporte es el siguiente;

Sadhana 5:00 am. a 5:30am., algunos días cantamos 16 rondas y otras 25 rondas, tenemos el deseo de volver a las 25 rondas después de casi medio año, 3 gayatris a la hora, los 4 principios está bien, bañando a las silas, recuperamos nuestra lectura del NOD y con mi esposo el SB canto 2.

ASA - Oooof!  Super-chica!

Cerramos el restaurante por algunos inconvenientes y porque nuestra vida espiritual se estaba debilitando, era muy cansador pero logramos la meta de hacer la casa  para tomar como una base de sankirtana.

ASA - Si, restaurante is MUY fuerte.

También dejamos de hacer programas en el centro cultural Bhaktivedanta por una serie de conflictos, revanchismo entre dos grupos y por otras cosas que no quiero dar detalles, entiendo que todos estamos en el proceso, pero lección cumplida para enfocarnos más en la distribución de libros, como Ud. Dijo una vez; el avance se ve de adentro hacia afuera, ahora quiero estar bien yo espiritualmente y que lo demás se dé, aquí donde están los terrenos  y la casa hay un señor juez que quiere ser devoto así que mientras estémos en Huancayo trataremos de darle lo que Prabhupada nos enseñó, estamos haciendo programas en su casa los domingos.

M. Anadi adi Govinda nos invitó para ir a bolivia para hacer sankirtana me encantaría poder tener su asociación para enero 2018, por el momento aquí en Huancayo estámos distribuyendo libros Gadai Prabhu está feliz por volver al sankirtana solo me queda aferrarme a su dhoti  para volverme experta como El. 

En enero un devoto de la India nos está trayendo 60 silas estámos muy felices pero Gadai está más feliz que yo.

ASA - 60!!!

Veo más seguido a mis padres y a mi único hermano, hay más comunicación con ellos, mi padre quiere ir a la India y mi deseo sigue vigente de poder llegar al santo dham, por ello voy a volver a empezar a prepararme espiritualmente.

Eso es todo Gurudeva perdón por ser tan materialista estoy tratando de espiritualizar las cosas en conciencia de Krsna. Vimos fotos de Ud. En India 

Atte. Nadiya Nivasi Dasi

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!      Demurra una mez responder. Viaje a India y Australia. HK!   HK!   Muy inspirador oir de Vds. A veces tenemos que evitar unos otros miembros de ISKCON por que no son de la misma humor de nosotros. ISKCON es bastante amplio, y a veces porque son Kanistha-adhikaris y muy materialist en su servicio.

Siempre buscando como podemos ayudar cualquiere person entrar en el servicio de Krsna. Krsna tiene mucho hacer!!!    Vamos a Peru en Febrero, Marzo.

Entra profundamente en la Lila de Senyor Nityananda.

Elevating my consciousness or symptoms of juvenile delinquency?

7 years, 5 months ago by bhaktadaniel108 in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Maharaja, Please accept my humble obiesances, All glories to Prabhupada!

Dear Maharaja, I am so concerned with non-devotees opinion of me, such as family, bosses, people in general etc. I feel my consciousness is very much degraded due to my own past sins as well as my association with non-devotees. I am choosing to make some big changes and relocate away from family, girlfriend, job etc and start over somewhere new. I was hired on a very impressive small organic farm in Arizona near Phoneix, So I am going to leave this unwholesome relationships behind and go further develop my farming skills, as well as become an balanced mature adult. After maybe 1-2 years in Arizona I want to go around to our Iskcon projects and help them become more succesful in agriculture/self-sufficiency and communal development.

HpS - Show them your staunch morning program also.

I hope these aspires [aspirations] somehow are pleasing to you and that with Krsna's grace I can become a fully surrendered soul and useful to the Sankirtana Mission.

For some long time I thought there was something wrong with me because I have lived so recklessly toward family and social custom/relations. In my early 20's I never had a problem with caring about jobs, bosses, family opinion etc. I would drop everything in a second and leave a situation. So I have been trying to remediate what I thought was a defective irresponsible habit. But now I am seeing that the real situation is that I just don't want to fit in or be a part of the pscyhopath civilization and I don't want to get sucked in from that bad association. I am finished trying to fit in or please the non-devotees. Therefore I believe today I will quit my job, I will skip my sisters wedding this weekend (it would require me driving 6 hours there and back in 2 days to Nashville) and I will start driving across the country to my new job this Saturday, I will stop by a few temples and spend time with devotees and also engage in preaching/harinama activity along the way.

There is a temple in Phoneix AZ about an hour from the farm, so I am hoping to utilize the spiritual atmosophere at. It feels like it is time to leave the nest. Please give your blessings that I progress on the path of Devotional Service.

HpS - Sorry has taken some time to answer! We have been travling like crazy in India and South America. . . .  Well what happened? Has the Organic Farm in Arizon been nice? Temple is nice? Was the farm actually a cover for a big international jewelry smuggling ring? Did you die of a heart attack when you saw Radha Krsna in Phoenix?

I don't know enough details to tell you if your move seems good or bad. What happened to to all the stuff you planted?? As you descrbie it it seems O.K? Did you call you sister and husband?

Mi querido Gurudeva

7 years, 5 months ago by miguel valenzuela in Personal Sadhana Reports

Todas las glorias a Sri jiva goswami

Todas las glorias a Srila A.C  Baktivedanta Swami  Prabhupada 

Todas las glorias Ss hanumatpresaka Swami 

Querido Gurúdeva  por favor reciba mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias a sus pies de loto [loco], que son mi único refugio [AgtSP!]

Cantando 16 rondas , cuatro principios; mi servicio en el templo es realizar la gurú puja a Srila Prabhupada todo los domingos desde hace dos años, limpieza del templo y pulir parafernalia de la deidad, así como la reparación de las cosas dañada por el uso diario.

Hay 4 pujarís estables y uno  de ellos se llama Mahanila  me dice cómo debo dormir a Siria Prabhupada correctamente, ofrecer le  alimentos y utilizar la acamanilla, me anima mucho a ser firme en el servicio en ocaciones se ven muy precionados, trato de ayudar en lo más que puedo, limpiando o guardando ropa de las deidades, o en los festejar tivales ayudo a los bramanas a preparar lo que se utiliza para las ceremonias, también tenía el servicio de las obra de teatro que por el momento no se está asciendo por qué no tenemos devotos para realizarlas, oramos mucho a Srila Prabhupada que nos de su bendición para poder mejorar en mi servicio y servirle mejor .

Por otro lado mi hijo Damodar cumplió  su primer año de edad, cuando cumplió los seis meses se hicimos su ceremonina de granos, y Eligio el libro, mi esposa me acompaña a los festivales y los que no podemos asistir los realizamos en casa .

El domingo que 22 de octubre trajeron al templo unas sandalias de Srila Prabhupada y nos la pusieron en la cabeza, una gran bendición , mi esposa sintió la "una energía muy cálida " , eso es lo que menciona  , y yo llore como niño por qué Srila Prabhupada me rescato del mundo y me llevó a sus pies de loto  gurúdeva, gracias a él pude conocerle a usted .

Estoy trabando actualmente en una alberca como el coordinador, dando clases a los niños de natación y gente adulta, lo combino con algunos fines de semana dando terapia de kinesiologia holistico ( terapia emocional ).

Colocamos un pequeño altar en casa , una deidad de Krsna con una vaquita , unos jagannitos, la foto de Srila Prabhupada y una de usted y también tenemos unas deidades de Radha y Krisna que están dormidas, usted cree que podemos empezar a adorarlas?

HpS - Si, no como deidades instalados, pero mantienen en su altar, limpia, ofrecer comida a Ellos en horario fijo. Poco Kirtan, libros, arati (lampara, incenso, flor, fragrancia), manyana y tarde y Ellos va a ser feliz!

También sembramos unas semillas de tulasi, que por obra del señor Krsna germinaron ahora tenemos una tulasi que adoramos en casa.

Mi  hijo observa mucho cuando estoy haciendo puja y le gusta mucho tocar la campana, eso me hizo tomar conciencia de que todo lo que hago él lo imita; me puse en contacto con la  Madre Chandramurki devi das de Perú  para tomar el bakthi sastri en línea, por mi trabajo y familia se me complicaría mucho hacerlo presencial ,  ya empezaremos este mes de noviembre ,

Viene ratha  yatra aquí en Guadalajara del 18 a 19 de noviembre , yo estare arriba de un carro para subir y bajar el kanupi ,habrá mucho servicio que realizar, la madre asta sakhi devi das viene a ser servicio con la obra del testigo divino y podré servirle un poco con la escenografía .

Me gustaría preguntarle los requisitos para tomar segunda iniciación, usted que me sugiere? A mí me gustaría tomar segunda iniciación  para servir a sus señorías jaghanata [jagan (universo) - natha (maesitro)], balarama y subhadra personalmente en el altar, servir mejor  a mi hijo y mi esposa, poder ayudar a los pujarís, eso me gustaría mucho . Sobre todo servirle a usted a sus pies lo loto Gurúdeva , sé que esto es mucho atrevimiento de mi parte pedir segunda iniciación , pero por su gracia y misericordia sin causa uno puede cruzar el océano de la exigencia material y así llegar a Krisna .

Me despido de usted su sirviente , el más insignificante ,por favor perdone las ofensas que le causo

Mándali Bhadra Das

HpS - Segunda iniciacion es bueno. Si esta bien fija en Mangala arati, programa matutina, recommendacion del Presidente del Templo, Bh. Sastri, es bien.

Nice photo.
