PROGRAMA TENTATIVO PARA LA CIUDAD DE COCHABAMBA (22/03/2018)

Querido GM, favor confirmar si le parece el programa tentativo que acontinuacion se detalla, a fin de hacer imprimir los afiche para su estadia en Cochabamba:

HpS - ASA - I cannot confirm the arrival time. We have no news from the devotees about the ticket from La Paz to Cocha. It seems they have it. We have been asking for a long time.

The theme we can use for the seminars is Upadesamrta, the Essence of All Wisdom. Then we can talk about anything. We can also distribute the books. If you don't have any then make some copies. The BBT has authorized it.

Best schedule is:
arrive,
go to Ashrama, little reception, Prasadam, then Taller Uno de Upadesamrta (diagolos practicos),
descansa, almuerzo,
consultas antes de gaura arati, Upadesamrta Taller Dos descansa.

O.K. Somos con Abhirama Das.

HpS - Hare Krishna.   Just as Srila Prabhupada says, the diet is Prasadam. The medicine is Kirtan. Cook for Krsna with pure love and the remnants will be wonderful.

 There is no substitute for love.

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.

Your useless servant

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.

Gurudeva si pada yatra sera el 22 de Abril, y ese día se puede hacer en la tarde un tributo a las madres. Y las autoridades apoyarán, gracias por ser nuestro invitado especial.

HpS - ASA -- Eso es despues de nuestra regresa de BsAs, no?   Cuales dias vamos a pesar en Chosica?

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaj, Pamho, AGTSP!
Thank you for your association and your example.
I want to be your authentic disciple. I hope one day I will achieve that.

HpS - ASA --- HK/HR!  This is exactly what we tell our Guru-maharaja, Srila Prabhupada also!

Several points:
I think I should just concentrate on the academic part. I'm a little tired of organizating things. In addition there are enough devotees eager to organize as Abhiram, Candra mukhi, Yugala and even Isvari matajis. So good luck!

However I will be their servant. When I spoke with Thakurji I told him that. For the weekend in Chosica March 16, 17 and 18 I will be his servant. I told him to exploit me at everything he wants me to do, but not make me think much or do logistics.

In the same way for April (20-22), I think that a matajis commission has to be formed to celebrate the weekend of the Vaishnava ladies. As it will be in Chosica, I propose that the mentioned mothers be commissioned together with M. Nitya in charge of Chosica. I will only be a servant. Mother Yugala has already asked me to be the guide of the pada yada pada she plans to organize.

What I think is important to maintain a nice relationship with la Cantuta is to organice a program for Monday, February 26. I think it's feasible. It would be in the morning, like 10 to 12 and then you can go down to Lima to do your other business. I Hope we are able to do it.  I'm already talking to our friend Professor Durand. I think you can do a little Art and the Sacred to motivate the October event. Art and the Sacred in Classical India and Ancient Peru, something like that. With local devotees There are enough dancers and musicians. I want to ask Caitanya candrodaya to coordinate that part. Professor Durand can help very well with musicians and something else. And of course a talk on your part.

Personally, I am trying to study more about my profession in order to access a competitive educational market and make a difference for ISKCON. I'm thinking of teaching in college if I can, or another educational organization or school. My priority will always be devotees, but outside people are suffering and ignorance continues to grow.

Please, your blessings to be useful to ISKCON and the world.

P. Mathures was right, when things do not work out in ISKCON I get frustrated. But I do not like that word. It's like you get stuck. I prefer to say that I get discouraged. Now I am contributing in what I can do. I teach SB and BG and I am doing harinam on Saturdays. Besides, I continue with my on-line classes of Bhakti sastri, Bhakti Vaibhava and sporadically the course of disciples. At this moment I have 8 students.

That's where I feel happy and useful, sharing with my students. Many years organizing and frankly I do not see much progress. So the thing goes the other way. Education, inside and outside ISKCON.

The examining center of Bhakti sastri and Bhakti Vaibhava is still pending. I guess a little conflict. I welcome what Krsna wants through how the events unfold. I do not feel like pushing. I want to have a submissive servant attitude at this point. Many years of arrogance and wanting things to go the way I like them.

In any case, I am seeing these situations as a signal that I also have to see what happens outside and make my contribution. It's just an idea.
Enough for today. Thanks for listening.

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!!   You seem to be on a healthy path. It is just a matter of concentrating and accelerating. Your ideas, plans, seem fine. We told M. Yugala-k. Dasi about our ideas of the Pada-yatra. Can you sit on the grass in the central plaza in Chosica and chant?
