Subject: Details of your Courses

Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja,
AGTSP, PAMHO,
We have allocated 2 hours for each one of the following topics you sent us:

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.

HpS - Change to "Every Temple an Educational Center"

Please let us know if that time (2 hours) it´s ok or if you consider you´ll need more or less time for each of the topics. 

Do you have any materials that need translation? We need to organize it as soon as possible, so if you can kindly send us all the materials you´ll need us to translate, we´ll be really thankful.

Your servant Devaki-nandana das.

HpS - Thank you. Talking with Rupanuga Das, everyone. "3. IMS" only needs one hour and if we can develop it with other devotees it would be nice. "4." you see the little change above.
I guess these will work fine. Mathuresa Das is supposed to coordinating our travel and even presentations. He said he will talk with you.
We will start working on the presentations and send you anything for translation ASAP.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja.
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

PND - Director of Vedabase.io,
How are you??  Where are you??

We are ok, plus minus, and are in Slovakia (Bratislava city).

Can you erase all old Disciple Reports?  

Done. All are erased now.

There is still no Search Engine at the New Vedabase, no?

Unfortunately not yet, it is already started but will be finishing it right after synonyms indexes will be ready.

It looks very nice.

Generally I am very critical, but I like this new version very much. I feel Krishna is behind it. Once there will be synonyms indexes, search and all remaining books it will be amazing.

Can you use help migrating the Spanish language stuff?

Definitely!

If you know somebody who would help I can show them how to do. They don't need to be computer wizzards, anybody who can manage send email will be able to do it. It will be great help. 

We will import 11 books which are ready into new version tomorrow (Gita Jayanti), one of them will be Spanish Sri Isopanisad.

I have already started Spanish SB, but dropped it due to tasks which others cannot do.

How long it take you to buy Audi??

It takes me 20 minutes to go to shop and buy this one: https://www.dracik.sk/auticko-audi-r8/

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das

HpS -----    Is little Audi!     Hey, we just noticed, "NIOS" is not mentioned like in old page

Our humble respects to your better half. We hope she and your family are well.

So you are right on the border with Austria, no?    SANKIRTAN!

Hare Krishna beloved and esteemed Gurudev,
Please accept muy humble obeisances!!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
I know by the blog, twitter and kdh how you are. But how is your pear tree?

ASA - She, He, It, seems to be doing O.K.    By S(he(it))'s Karma it is forced to stand out in the heat and cold and drink from one leg.  Oooof!   So far it has given one full sized fruit and two short ones. It is not getting any taller fast, 2-meters. Our rose bush is about the same. The gardener thought it was a weed and chopped its head off but still blossoming. How are your trees?

I really liked your proposal to Anuttama Prabhu. We have to make that step!!
 

I'm glad that your India-Australia tour was a complete success. And that you are recovering. Such great news that you are coming to South America very soon. I hope you can visit Mar del Plata this time.

ASA - So do we. We would like to ride there on the back of a tiger.

Spiritual life: improved a lot after we moved six month ago to Sri Govardhan, our eco village. Living close to a temple sorrounded by devotees makes things much more easy. 
16r 4p ok. Attending mangala aratik 3 times a week. 
We have to improve a lot the quality of our japa.
Material life: Still working as ayurvedic doctor. Our clinic works great. Next year we are going to leave mondays free of work to increase reading and studying. So the scheme will be tuesday to friday to town to work and saturday to monday stay at the farm to enhance spiritual practices.
We started teaching at the university, med school. Big challenge, great preaching opportunities. If you come i hope i can arrange a program there for you.

HpS - That is the program we did at the State Medical College in Manipur: Science, Psyche and SPIRITUAL Health, the Encounter of Carl Jung with the Ancient Mysticism.

Family life: we are getting married to Julieta mataji december 7th. Only civil. Fire ceremony after  one year of living together. She is daughter of a devotee, mother Maria. Very well educated and very fond of living with devotees. She has a very similar level of insanity as myself. Our astrological compatibility is very good. We have His Grace Srila Virabahu prabhu as asram guru. We are reading  also heart and soul connection by the GVT.
Madhu Mangal (Manu) and Bhurijana (Benjamin) are great. Also the Sri Govardhan atmosphere was wonderful for them. They attend gurukula, Madhu is chanting 4 rounds regularly. They have nice service attitude.
Preaching: Mostly to our clients at the clinic. Distribute books at work, like 12 per month average.
We are inviting many devotees to our farm to preach in town. Bhaktigouravani Swami was here last month and this month Hh Mahavisnu Swami and the harinam ruci. On January bramacharis from Buenos Aires mandir are coming
We quit all other engagements to focus in improving personal sadhana and bhajana.
We are creating a study group to start Bhakti Sastri. Prabhu Laksmana Agraja Prabhu kindly provided us with their study guides. The plan is two hours studying individually then 1:30 hs once a week we gather and discuss. Communication via wapp.
We plan to start next january.
Yesterday we had a meeting with Ambarish, Madhavendra Prabhus and Rati Manjari dd to start coordinate your argentinian tour.
Let's read second viplavah issue.
Your stupid disciple,
Nikunja Bihari das.

.HpS - Thank you! Marriage in Kali-yuga seems to be the best use of a bad bargain from any point of view. If everybody blesses you then could be useful (for you and everybody).
Our regards to Madhu and Buri. They got initiated?? Julieta? Maja-jana!...
Interesting you write and we just started having heart arythmias. Every now and then the heart misses a beat. NGD suggested a little more salt one time. It worked, but it really pushes us to think, we can have heart failure at any moment. How ready are to grab our hand luggage and go to the next vehicle. We want to develop an eternal little place at Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet. Remember our features, our friends, our family. We left them!

We hope your Mission becomes more and more clear. Are you headed in the right direction to understand that? Is this your last life in the materal world?!

{{Please, confidencial Maharaja}}

...

Esteemed H. Rama,
We read your letter and we can't say too much because you asked for it to be confidential. Is there some reason. Are you hiding from the Incredible Hulk or Batman or your Wife's Lawyer?     Your report and the topics you discuss are of very universal interest. So nice to hear from you!!
Our Base Camp here in Tennessee was started because of our relationship with Nitai-gaura-sundara Das, so there is a very, very tiny ISKCON community here, mostly retired Indian professionals and intellectuals.

We have a 10foot x 10foot cave, office, and little then an old be nice trailer home attached with no heating. It works for a Sannyasi. So it is difficult to arrange for guests except for couple nights. Some over night hospitality for Ladies and Familys with our congregation members. Neares ISKCON Farms and Temples are rather distant and remote: Murari Farm and Atlanta Temple. But.... why not write some public letters and we can begin to devlop our association that way!   We actually miss hearing from you!

Hare Krsna!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Querido Guru Maharaja, estoy aquí en Arequipa luchando con la  mente, en el trabajo hay mucha presión, no me siento muy bien ahí,  pero estoy tratando de entender que como Grhastha lo necesito para mantener el templo.

Mi sadhana está mucho mejor, 16 rondas, servicio de pujari lunes, sábados y domingos, Mangala Arati sábados y domingos, clase de Bhagavat Gita sabados y Srimad Bhagavatm domingo estrictamente.

Estoy apoyando más en la predica y organización de templo, ya llego el momento de hacerse cargo y asumir más responsabilidades. Trato de comunicarme todos los días con los devotos, ya entendí la gran importancia de la asociación, ojala tenga muy buenos resultados, por favor sus bendiciones para tener la suficiente inteligencia y fuerza para mejorar los programas y predica en Arequipa.

Asu servicio
