Letters to the editor

Querido Gurumaharaja:

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Leimos el Kapi Dhvaja pero no supimos leer bien el calendario.

Ya encontré los datos

June 21^st – July 26^th – Mexico, Peru, Chile, Bolivia,

21[We] – IAH – MEX (6.00AM – 8.30AM), MEX – LIM [5.00PM – 10.45PM] In Mexico City for at least six hours.

Muchisimas gracias por la corrección!!

En días pasados platicamos con los hermanos espirituales, si Usted esta de acuerdo podemos ir a la casa de Saranagati.

ASA - Por que no, casa del Presidente?   Enrique Peña Nieto?    Cual es el humor de la gente en esta estacion?   Todas han ido a la playa??    Programas culturales, artisticos?  Professores, alumnos, politicos, abogados disponible para un almuerzo Miercoles?

Alguna instrucción para nosotros?

HpS - Glorifica Srila Prabhupada mejor! 

Algún vaisnava que requiera ver en particular ese día?

HpS - Todos que podemos, no?

Japitas para Perú?

HpS - Ya hay suficiente. Esperamos pasar por migraciones, aduana rapido. Solamente equipaje de mono.

Disculpe nuestras ofensas por favor.

HpS - ASA -- No es posible. Tiene que pagar una gran multa de tamales para Sr. Nrsmhadeva!

Vuestra eterna servidora 

Asta Sakhi dd. 

HpS - ASA --- Reverencias a todos!    Esperamos sus respuestas!

HARE KRSNA, GURUDEVA,

PAOHO, AGTSP!

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT UNFORTUNATELY GRACIANO CANCELLED THE INTERVIEW THAT WAS MEANT TO HAPPEN ON FRIDAY.

ALMENDRO WILL ALSO NOT MAKE IT FOR THIS WEDNESDAY, ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL A CHANCE TO MEET  YOU NEXT WEEK (HE WILL LET ME KNOW IF HE CAN...).

WE HAVE THE USA-SPAIN ADAPTER, WE WILL BRING IT TO THE UNIVERSITY ON THURSDAY.

HpS - ASA --- Jaya.    AGTSP.  Now they are 3.30PM.  We are sitting at Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet in the Temple Room in New Vraja Mandala.   Antonio, the cowherd, got us an adapter at the Brihuega Chinese store, then another devotee said that Jayanta had sent two types. Well, I guess we can keep them for use by visiting USA devotees that Krsna seems to be arranging to send!

Editorial Siruela??  Podemo visitar?

So, sad that we cannot meet anybody for these interviews!   Such a great loss for them that they cannot apprecate, enter,  the KRSNA book!!    We continue to try to meet new people, no?

ASPIRING TO SERVE YOU [even more]

BHADRA VD & SANANDA DD

Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO, AGTSP, All glories to your service.

HpS - AGTSP, Mate!!!    Paoho....    Thank you so much for the letter.  We have been looking for tickets. Seems best flight to Hawaii is from San Francisco and from Hawaii to Sidney via Jetstar.  Is it and O.K?  airlines?

Jetstar is fine. Quality budget airline. Please give us your desired flight details so we can arrange ticket for you.

HpS - Preaching programs will depend on our contacts there also. Like last time Dr. Samaresh arranged a strong program with Dr. Mabbett.

Great! I remember visiting Dr Mabbett at Monash University last time you came. Krishna willing, mercy will be distributed. 

While recollecting your recollection of Raktak prabhu I was walking down the street and caught myself as one of the young flag raisers.

HpS - Jaya!   We are in the airport in Atlanta. They are starting to load Delta Flight 108!!   Guess this is an authorized trip.   We are moving ahead with the Sankirtan army!!!  India, Peru, Murfressboro, Hawaii, Kolkatta!!!!         Looking at the calendar again and again. We get back from Peru 26th July. Then we would be traveling again about one month or even three weeks later!    Ooof!        Food for thought!
We hope to refine more and more our Sankirtan focus so we can take a really effective place in this Orchestra. What is your position?  Position of your friends and family?

PAMHO

Solucionado el tema del adaptador "enchufe americano". Caitanya Caran tiene uno en NVM.

Hasta pronto

HpS-ASA - Gracias. Estamos en ruts.

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

I was very happy to have received your reply to my letter,

ASA - We were more happy to receive that and this letter, thank you for your association and saving our life during our transit in Amsterday to Spain.

..and thank you very much for the advice; distinguish reality from illusion for the welfare of all, in the wellfare of Krishna.

Unfortunately i will not be able to make it to Spain, but i will certainly use your offer of the Tele - Phone. You suggest to write a letter to send to Madrid Temple. Is calling all right?

HpS - PRAY to Lord God, that you can visit, your work will send you to Spain, but if not, then Call, Call, Call!  

Our daughters are four and a bit (elementary school) and 19 months. I'm not exactly sure how much they weigh, but the youngest is like a little giant. Very strong physically, resourceful, and naughty too. The eldest is a little dancer, and she likes Hare Krishna music and Pippi Longstocking. Affection is plenty.

HpS - These children are usually gods and goddesses taking birth in this movement.

Please inform me about when its best to call and to which number.

Your aspiring servant,
Raghava-pandita dasa

HpS - We have international texting, so you can text us when we arrive. We will go straight to the Farm but think it works there. +1 209 505 3219. 3-6 in the New Vraja Mandala, then Madrid.

Dear Maharaja,

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

Apologies for being out of communication. You have caught me at an incredibly busy time as we prepare for our International Baccalaureate authorization visit this coming week. This is the culmination of 4 years of work that will determine if Bhaktivedanta Academy becomes an International Baccalaureate World School. 

I look forward to participating in the conference this year. The June date is much better. Let’s connect after April 1 to discuss how I can best be of service. 

I think Alachua is a natural location for the 2018 conference. Our students perform Shakespeare yearly, so we will plan on putting on a show for you. :-)

Yours in service, 
Visvambhara Dasa

Esteemed Visva-ambara Das et al,
Hare Krsna!!!        AgtSP!!!!     paoho.....      Thank you for the letter.     We hope the accreditation work is very successful.  The Symposium is developing very well as far as we can see.  Again, the dates are Thursday, 15th June to Sunday, 18th June, at the Seattle ISKCON.

We have a very balanced crew now with representation from Pre, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Schooling. Educational perspective of ISKCON Ministry of Education. Temple Presidents. Grhasta Vision Team. University and Government Educational Preaching. Sastric Education.

Harivilasa Das has taken the post of Anchor-man for the Seattle Temple as we start off and says that they can accomodate about 15-devotees in private homes. Also, the Temple can supply Prasada for a small fee to cover their costs, and the meeting space is perfect.

CONFIRM ACCOMODATIONS
We need to know soon who is going to be coming in their physical body (and who will be participating on line). Now, physical presence, we have confirmed:

Partha Das and Uttama Devi Dasi (Accomodate Two)
Nitya-ananda Das (Accomodate One)
Sesa Das (Accomodate One)
Kartamasan Das (Accomodate One)
Rama-giri-dari Das (One)
Hari-lila Das (One)
Subra Devi Dasi (One)
Ananda-vrndava Devi Dasi (One)
TOTAL T/D - Accomodate Nine

TRAVEL
See if you can travel with another local person. For example, Myself, Rama-giri-dhari and Hari-lila Das will all be coming on the same flight from San Jose. Maybe Ananda-vrndavana Mataji would like to join us. Temple is about 45-minutes from the Seattle-Tacoma airport.

SCHEDULE
Now we are roughly planning:

Thursday - 6-8.30PM - Supper, Reception and Orientation. Possible presenters: Sesa, Harivilasa,
Nityananda, Temple President Seattle, Rama-giri-dhari Das.

Friday/Saturday -  Full-morning Program (SB class), Breakfast, Three lecture and discussion programs each morning, lunch/rest, Workshops in individual interest areas each afternoon, supper and cultural program each evening.

Possible presenters (Theme):

1.   Partha-Uttama (Educating in VAD, Grhastha-ashrama, how it should be implemented in our Primary, Secondary schools etc.),
2.   HpSwami-Harivilasa (Philosophy, Strategy for Education),
3.   Vaisesika Das (Education for Book Distribution in Primary, Bhakti-sastri etc.),
4.   Visvambara Das-Synergy School Leader (Primary+ ISKCON Schools in North America)
5.   Sastric Education (Hari-lila Das, HpS, Srivasa Pandita Das, Govardana Das), University Level Studying and Preaching (HpS, Radhika-ramana Das).
6.   Poster Session (Many people get three minutes to introduce themselves, then can stand by their "Poster Display" which will all be up for the entire symposium so attendees can pass from display to display to ask questions.

Each Lecture Discussion Program would be about one hour with no more than 25-minutes in the first pass and then discussions. Presenters can submit Abstracts by end of April and a full document by end of May. PLEASE add subtract adjust this list, workshop list!

Sunday - Breakfast, Closure, Fixing Final Action Items, Fixing Standing Committees.

We are also expecting physical confirmation and on-line participation from Ananta-rupa Das, Boise, M. Arrudha Devi Das, Srivasa Pandita Das, educators from Mexico, Peru, Chile, Argentina. Maybe 75-local Seattle devotees and 85-on-line. Everything will be well recorded.

O.K. That's our news now. The result depends on everyone making personal commitment. We will be in Spain from 1-12th of April, but should have some communication. We will be in Boise and San Jose for one week each before Seattle and we expect to be working on all these themes there, so the fun starts now!   Ten weeks of communication, demonstration, integration and Spifibivication for The Witch.
ISKCON Ministry of Education, Ki Jai!    ISKCON's cutting edge Sankirtan team.
Radha-Nila-madhava, ISKCON Seattle, Ki Jai!
