I have a problem I am a little embarrased .. I was asking for help to Govinda pramonandini for accomodations.. but she does not asure me for proper accomodations.. Do U know who may help me???? Guest house is $50per day $700 just in accomodations is too much. Sorry GM for being so insolent in asking U for some help.

Also I would like to talk to u in Houston about the future of my professional life... I have some important questions that I will like to discuss in person.

We are ok actually PRETTY GOOD. Last year was very very hard for me but little by little by radha's mercy and yours I am 95%recover

HpS - ASA -- Very interesting. AGTSP.  I guess we will be there during the 50th Anniversary and Gita jayanti.  Yes, calendar says 8-12th Dec there for us. Of course, Govinda p. Dasi is principal person to help. Jiva Goswami Das lives some distance from Temple and has his wife and daughter to accomodate.

Hari-lila Das lives about 20-minutes from Temple and we can't check with him because he is in India until the 7th.

In any case you should get in touch with Caitanya-caritamrta Das and his esteemed wife Subhra Devi Dasi. He is our disciple for long time, contractor, working with Temple projects. She is Principal for the Goswami Academy, Disciple of H. H. Bh. Caru Swami and very excellent, professionally certified and lots of word in public schools as a Teacher and then school Principal. She is very cheerful and intelligent person and because of you PhD in education, everything you should be in touch with her.

Maybe got visa but no place to stay!    Yet, good chance to show interest.
I will send a copy of this letter to them with copy to you.

...   Sent ... 

Super-girl goes to Houston! (For Krsna).

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Pamho. AgtSP.

 So the temple president of DC has a few points that are outlined for Sunday talks. She likes to gear the speakers toward more unfamiliar audiences (we have a pretty big yoga community here). I was going to email this to you because she and VrajVihari would like to be cc’d on it. But I explained and gave her a brief synopsis of Psyhology and the Sacred and she was thrilled to hear it.

The talk is limited to 30 min with an additional 15-20 min Q&A period.

She did say that the Saturday prior will be open if you would like to host a workshop or lecture of any sort? Please let me know if this is something you’d like to consider.

HpS - You me and NGD just talked about this. "From Cradle to Cambridge - Education in ISKCON. Hanumatpresaka Swami has a long history of working int the area education in ISKCON which include deep involvement with H. H. B. S. Damodara Swami and the Bhaktivedanta Institute, Ranga-niketana - Manipuri Troupe. He is on the Executive Committe of the ISKCON Ministry of Education, and with his own ISKCON institution, NIOS, he has just participated in a profound, intercontinental symposium on Psychology and the Sacred with the National Library of Peru.

He will also report on Sunday school commercialy successful ISKCON Pre and Primary Schools etc. Come for general overview and opportunity to get involved in very practical programs.

Currently we have UMD lined up for 11/11. I’m not familiar with the school but they have a strong bhakti club and I’ll reach out to profs who may try to stage something bigger.

HpS - Let him see our youtube.com clip of  "Psychology and the Sacred 2016", then we can talk with him personally and design a custom program.

Awaiting to get contact of hindu chaplain from Georgetown. He himself has a doctorate in theology so may be a good source of reaching out to dept.

HpS - Again, follow up NGD suggestion of contacting his friend, Dr. Shaligram Shukla in Sanskrit.

Will keep you updated!

*just to clarify—when I send a group text, you can see them right? Cause subala prabhu hasn’t responded either.*

HpS - When you send a group Text we only see your name and when we respond it only shows you as a recipient.  Hmmm.    Robots for Rama.
Thank you so much for your effort.

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

 Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupad. All glories to you!

I pray that your health gets better. Your last DTC made me sad but puts into perspective the vehicle that this body is. 

I did get the email about themes and content. Ananda Vrindavan mataji said she’d schedule you for the Sunday talk at Potomac, so I guess Vraj Vihari prabhu would best answer in regards to the themes.

Chandana and I are working to put an event at Virginia commonwealth university. we sent you an email to your nios account regarding that. 

In other news, I also asked Manoram Krishna das to perform the diksha yagya and he said yes and also told me of what I should bring and do to prepare. I was wondering if there is anything you expect that I should do in preparation as well? Please let me know and I will do my best to make it happen!

HpS - Nothing special.

I am still pondering what I should do for my kartik vrat. What would you recommend?

HpS - Damodara asta. Reading Vrndavana Dhama Mahimarta by Kusa Krata Das.

I'm jumping with excitement until your arrival. Thank you for your sincerity and mercy Maharaj. 

Your blundering servant ,

Sarita 

*the picture attached was Chant 4Change last week, an inter-faith festival where hundreds of people danced and sang the Hare Krishna mantra. It was a cool event. It rained all day, and when Radhanath Swami came up, the rain stopped and the sky had pink hues. 

HpS - Jaya!      There is another letter and we have talked a lot since this one. We will go to the other one.

Hare Krsna,

If anybody is available, Dr. Samaresh sent us notice of a program by an associate in Irving, Texas on the 23rd, Sunday.

Dear Gurudeva, My sincere apology for the delay.

HpS - Please excuse us for our delays.
  
EKD -  Please see the attached file. 

HpS - We did. It is very helpful.
 
EKD -  The schedule is 90% confirmed. You will notice that
 next to the programs are the possible topics you requested. Most of them are going to need some articulation from you  according to the audience we will have. Please, confirm which topic considering the info listed below so I can move forward with advertisement.

 1) City Colleges of
 Chicago, Truman: I think I mention this to you, but I have the support
  of the Wellness Center as well as the Psychology Coordinator O... R... They are excited about the content of your lecture
 and Jungian research,
  and at the same time they are
 interested in a program that can also include
  undergrad students. Topics such as
 Stress, Coping Strategies, and so on are very common on
 these classes and among students and coaches. I invited
 other faculty
  members to join us.      
 
HpS - Have you looked at the Video Clips from the program in Peru????   Go to www.youtube.com and search with the Key Phrase "Psychology and the Sacred 2016". That shows what we are doing and is great to use as a promo for the professors. Best thing is for us to talk to the sponsors. Can we get a conference call some time??? 
  
 2) Second City training center: When I talked to the head of acting Mr Pieper, about your lecture,
 I remarked the common subjects  your lectures have with the concepts they teach in class.
 In fact, this how they advertise the program
 : This  program offers a unique method of acting that enables
 students to discover skills found in the physical,
 emotional, intellectual and spiritual aspects of the human
 condition.
 Therefore they also are very excited
 about the content of your lecture and Jungian
  research, although I did not propose any title for the
 event yet until you decide what topic you want to articulate
 for this audience. May be you can address this from NOI or
 othe SP Book. They also will make it open to
 all instructors and
  students. 
 
 HpS - Again if we can get a conference call we can do this very fast. One thing that might interest them would be the comparison and contrast between classical India drama theory (Rupa Goswami) and Western theory through Aristotle, Constantin Stanislavskii, and Viola Spolin.
  
 3)
 Interfaith: We are sure that we will gather our
 guests together that
 day,
  but I am still working where. Probably it is going to
 happen in our temple. On the other hand, although the topic
 says "Education...", you can also decide to change
 it, as long as we have 15 days to share with them what is
 going to be about they will have
  the chance to prepare them selves. Personally I
 was thinking about this program as an opportunity to
 share with them what is our vision about the topic and to
 find common points among the institutions, but again, we
 can propose another topic since we are the
  host.     
 
HpS - A nice topic is: "What is an Educated Man? The Teacher as the Mid-wife of the Soul". Is that O.K??
 
 4)
 IIT: This program is at the Krsna house, and will be
 mostly indian engineer and tech students looking for
 prasadam, so whatever the topic
  is, they will get some purification on the process of
 hearing from you. Now, I inviter formally Professor Arlen Moller,
  PhD
 Associate Professor,
 Dept. of Psychology, IIT, to
  your lecture at the KH so we may have the chance
 to establish some serious contact with faculty and make
 the program worth it for future preaching
 purposes.  
   
HpS - Topic ???   "Scratching the Surface - Cutting Edge Research in Accessing Classical Indian Technological Resources"

 Finally,
 those SB classes as well as the special class and Bhakti
 Vrksa are mere suggestions and subjected to change if you
 consider appropriate.
 
HpS -  They seem nice. We can adjust in terms of the exact audience that actually come.
 
 Please let
 me know what you think, 

HpS - We think it seems like a nice program, if you have  a case of NOIs!    What do you think of our comments?  Conference calls?
