Dear Guru Maharaja,
please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Should we write you while you are on this current tour? I am asking because you may be very busy with service while travelling through India and your Inbox may become cluttered.

Your servant Namacarya das
 

HpS - I don't know. Yes, we have continuous engagement so far, but here is Kolkata we may get  a little more time. If you have any advice from the DTCs, any URGENT comments or news, for sure.  Do you know one devotee, Hrvoje Cargonja, I forgot his initiated name, he is PhD, Assitant professor ini University of Zagreb, his Mobile is +385 91 547 o863. He is very nice, friendly. If you can please contact him and find out about his projects.

Reporte nro 1

Hare Krishna Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

First week passed and we couldn't achieve our vrata, I was traveling, what a challenge to keep on with sadhana while traveling. I offer my respectful obeisances to you for being able to accomplish such a difficult deed.

We finished our 16 rounds every day, and we will give it a try again this week.

27th january i have my first meeting in the university to coordinate everything.

Tomorrow we go out with our local FFl program 45 lts watermelon juice and 900 sweets. The dean of med school called us and told us that his wife wants to participate in the program and that we should cooperate!   Krishna's Magic, I was looking to make contact with university and now it comes to us.

I feel sorry cause you are not coming again to Mar del Plata. And make me think that we are not really doing anything useful for your Sankirtan. At the same time I'm glad you can rest from so much travel. I hope some day we can establish something similar to psychology and the sacred.

We are determined to accomplish our vrata. 

We need it.

See you in the blog next sunday, Dear Gurudeva,

Your fool fallen servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Prabhupada said that if we keep trying to achieve a good goal we will be successful.    We want to come to Argentina, MDP, at least we may be able to see each other in Sanntiago in June, July, no???  Bring photos, power-point show with music, chorus.   More watermellon.

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Bhativedanta Swami Prabhupada

HpS - Jaya!

Radha Krsna, Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Brnda Ki Jay Dandavat Pranam Guruji Maharaja,

HpS - Please accept our humble obeisdances. Radha Govinda Candra, Ki Jai, Thoubal Bhakta Vrnda, Ki Jai!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji's Padmacharan that after consultating Prabhu Haridas, Banomali Das and meeting of the Thoubal Bhaktas and Matajis there is no change in the programmes fixed earlier but Guruji can take rest during Gouralila or can arrange a separate group discussion abour NOI (Upadeshamrta).

During the Toubal  Tour programme, the first initiation of one lady Doctor is arranging under the guidance of Haridas and Banamali Prabhu so it will not change and will continue as the first programme. After Guruji's arrival, we can confirm daily programme according Guruji's consent. As we did not turn up in the Thoubal Mandir for the last two years or more, the number of attendence will be less but quality will be better.

HpS - O. K.

For any suggestion, or modification in the previous programme we are eagerly awaiting as Guruji's asirvat.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - The programs all seem practcial. The only thing is WE NEED GOOD TRANLATORS and we need Upadesamrta available for study and sale.

We see you in just a few days!!!  We are very fortunate.

4.1 Congress on Education

7 years, 2 months ago by jagad.guru.das in Calendar Development

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, 

So dear Gurudev, 

I think that in this circunstances the best thing is cancel this program. After all, the truth is that we don´t have too much time to do marketing, and if you can´t attend, it will more complicated.

I feel, a little bit, dissapointed but after a while I remember that I was incompetent and slow so, I feel better then. Is just my poor reality now.

So, Honestly, I don´t know what we can do now. Nrisimhananda said that is possible make an arrangment for you, and try again in other to way that you attend. And Param Padam insist in that we should try at least organize a meeting among main educators (Aravinda, Baladeva, etc), taking advantage of they are in the same part of the worl at the same time.

Hare Krishna.

HpS - Hare Krsna. AgtSP. We are in Madras now for this symposium on Srimad Bhagavatam. There are professors here from all over the world. It is a great success. I am learning so much about people who are involved with SB from many different perspectives.

We made our presentation and it was terrifying. Some people know the entire SB by memory, but we did well and now we are meeting more people.

I can see that we need the time to rest after we get back to USA. It is just a fact. We still are prone to heart pains. Because of this travel and management stress.

You last Nanda's help and you have your job, so seems like too much for you to organize alone.

We will be in Merco Norte and Santiago in June. So we can do local programs then. Maybe try for a Merco Sur program when we are in Santiago?

Maybe we can make you a member of NIOS and use NIOS as a vehicle to push this Education with ISKCON.

What do you think?

Tentative time table of Guruji's N.E. India visit (Thoubal, Toubul and Imphal)

7 years, 2 months ago by mukta singh in Calendar Development

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Bhativedanta Swami Prabhupada Radha Krsna, Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Brnda Ki Jay Dandavat Pranam Guruji Maharaja, Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji's Padmacharan that in the last Sunday, we sit together with all initiated and mandir bhaktas about Guruji's Mnipur visit (Thoubal, Toubul and Imphal) visit and finalized the following tentative programmes. But Guru please highlight if required any changes. One thing, when we met Banamali Prabhu yesterday in the Imphal ISKCON Mandir, he inform me that some days ago Haridas Prabhu, himself and some other recommended and forwarded some names for first initiation (Name Diksha) including one lady from Imphal. I have no knowledge about this, so in the programme, we have not including the initiation programme but simply Guruji's visit to Toubul (Sripada Maharaja's birth place). During this period, if they arrange the initiation programme I have no objection. As I had already mentioned early, this time from our side no one is interested for taking first initiation but two to four members wanted to take second initiation but without getting Gurujis acceptance, I have not yet informed them. Another one is Banamali Prabhu suggested me to hold Guruji one night at Imphal, so in the programme a little change and included Imphal programme. Earlier a separate sitting of the initiated bhaktas were arranged but due to shortage of time the programme was excluded. But during Gurujis Thoubal visit, at least 10 to 20 minutes are very must necessary for such bhaktas for their Sukha-Dukha in their spiritual activities and their expectations (Man ki Bad). From Guruji's side the strict instructions of Do's and Don'ts will give a powerful force to the bhaktas in their day to bhakti sadhana. Yours fallen servant Yamunesvara Das.

HpS - AgtSP. Paoho. Sorry slow to answer this. Where you reading the DTC? Maybe not practical because in English. We had very, very, very hard travel 23 December until today. Seriously planning to die in the airplane. Much better now.

If letter is urgent just write that in the Subject field and were respond the fastest.

The schedule seems short but the trip to Maharaja's birthplace seems like a loss of valuable time and opportunity. Seems were could serve him better in Thoubal or Imphal.

Better not to go to Toubal unless you expect chance for helping the preaching there. WE NEED GOOD TRANSLATOR for all programs.

When we go to Imphal we need time for one good class.

Also, because time is so short seems we should also eliminate the full Gaura Lila.

Let us have a seminar for several days on Upadesamrta with many copies for distribution.

What do you think?
