Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP ¡¡¡¡

PAMHO

I hope U are fine ¡¡

Gurudeva nowadays I am feeling really good ¡¡¡

Sadhana is OK, FMP helps a lot, 4p strictly, 16 rounds, but I need to improve my concentration a lot ¡¡ but  I am working on that

I am doing seva in Wilson just 3 days noon time, teaching Bhakti sastri on line, and one student come to my house and it is very nice to discuss the content of SP’s books and realizations , he also has some suggestions about for example update the content of NOI for our time ¡ He wants to discuss this with U when U come ¡

I am helping Abhiram in translation some emails and communication on the spot jaja is really funny in some point I am doing like 3 things at the same time… on my tablet, cellphone ¡¡ so I realized what my coach told me.. about my male energy sometimes is too much jaja, so I am working on connecting with my female energy as well. I am working on my priorities ¡

We are really looking forward to help in the Symposium, we are already working on that ¡meetings, etc we hope to be useful in some way.

I took the service of hosting lalita gopi dd very seriously, I did not reply earlier because I was looking for other possibilities. I talked with Girvana dd, she is going to help me, M Lalitagopi may stay at red house or in a place of her friend.. in either of the cases lalita gopi won’t have to pay anything and also I will be with her as her servant… I will move wherever she goes. And try to serve her as much as I can. I hope this is ok for U and her …

Other news.. On  Sita devi’s appearance day we have the class in Wilson, there were not many people it is a pity to see how much has decreased the preaching there, but I remember that SP said you will see results if you do an endeavor ¡¡¡¡¡

We are also hanging out more with our family and healing the bounds specially with the females , we had an amazing MOTHER ‘s day.

I am attaching pictures:

Sita devi’s on her appearance day

HpS - Hare Krsna! All we can do is fight our own Maya and then help others fight theirs and then get the good news out to innocent people as much as we can and see what magic Krsna wants to do.

You sadhana, all sounds very, very nice. I guess it is very normal for such a masculine person as your father to color his daughters with the same perspective.

Please, if you need some extra investment to arrange nice accomodations for Prof. D. Chavez, then don't hesitate to ask. NIOS has reasonable funds for this!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Dear gurudev, 

I upload a flyer about your lecture online on thursday. Do you prefer skype or starmeeting for this meeting? At least we could have skype meeting in hte question section, darshan.

Regarding the time will be 7pm. Now in Chile, a couple a days ago, we had a change of time, so now we are  Just 1 hour forward Peru and not 2. Just 1 hour.

Thank you very much for give us your time gurudev

Hare Krsna.

HpS - ASA - Oink!   Thanks for reminding us. Start Meeting is good because we can record it and I think there is more control of participation than Skype. Anybody who has the Meeting Number can join: www.startmeeting.com, Meeting ID 992 055 489.

We are the same hour as Lima, so that will be 6PM here, Thursday 19th, May.

Hare Krsna!

ASA - Hare Krsna! Very nice to hear from you. We posted you letter to the Blog so we can get the opinion of the Monkey Horde.

Is it possible to communicate through that media, ASA Blog?

Your proposal sounds SUPER-EXCELLENT. Let's make a profound contribution toward Lord Caitanya's movement in Cusco, La Paz and Cochabam ba ba.

Awaiting comments on the Blog.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada 

Dear Guru Maharaja, 

Thank you for encouraged me Always. We visited Chandramukha Swami and he is so happy to be host in Vraja Bhumi,  2hours from Rio de Janeiro,  Brasil,  to the third Congress. Param Padam is organizing the teleconferences meeting to discuss the program in advance. I think he's sending to one old mail yours and you are not receiving their mails. At least from me I will send you Soon more details regarding the dates proposals from Chandramukha Maharaj and Nanda nanda.

HpS - AGTSP!    We received letters from Param and exchanged some.

But the purpose of this URGENT message is an invitation-request:

Could you give one skype lecture (recorded by me also)  for the Jayananda's Thakur appearance which will celebrate here at Santie this Saturday 14th May or,  if is not possible,  for the  Jayananda's Thakur Disappearance celebration the Thursday 19. The lectures are 18:30 hrs.  (Boise is -4 hours) but in the week we suggest to do it at 19:00 hrs.  To give time to the devotees to arrive because the traffic. 

Thank you gurudev for your inspiration.  We are spiritual alive and having even more spiritual health. 

Hare Krishna.

ASA - Ooof!   This Saturday is not possible. We have programs every minute with the Temple Cultural Complex inauguration.

Thursday seems fine.  We looked at jayanandathakura.com and it give his birth day at 27 April 1939, but that doesn't seem correct. He would have been nine years older than us and that didn't seem a fact. also as I understand he came to San Francisco just after graduating in Engineering from the University, so he would have been about 23-years old then.   Hmm?   Maybe born like 1944.

Thursday 19.00 hours = 16.00 for Nashville?

Hare Krsna!

Esteemed GBC Strategic Planning Team,
Paoho....   Thank you for the following letter and invitation. Let us take this moment to organize and express our thoughts on these topics in a manner that we can also circulate for the criticism of others also.

We attended the GSG Sanga which was in 2015 as I remember. We have also attended the last two ILS and one or two other SPT meetings. Administratively we are now a Member of the Latin American Regional GBC, the Executive Committee of the Ministry of Education, have been Temple President for three ISKCON Temples, worked for years with the large scale programs of the Bhaktivedanta Institute and now are acting in our best capacity as Advisor, Administator and Foot soldier for NIOS (North American Institute for Oriental and Classical Studies) which is graced with Tamohara Das as our GBC and Nitai-gaurasundara Das as our President. NGD is Director of a Psychiatric hospital here in Tennessee and his brother is currently President of the nation-wide Indian Lawyers Association.
So . . . we have been involved in the management aspect of ISKCON.

NIOS organized a program jointly with the Indian National Museum on "The Contribution of of Ancient India to Making a Better World". It was innaugurated by Mukundakam Sharma, former Justice of Supreme Court of India and two former Governors of West Bengal. Now NIOS is organizing a very delightful and taxing International Seminar on "Psychology and the Sacred" with the National Library in Peru.

Just writing about this is exhausting.

We have the dates blocked on our Calendar [Feb 6-9] . Of course we can't come to India just for this three day event, but it could fit in with other travel.

In general we feel that ISKCON has become too much advanced in the mode of passion. We also feel that our feelings and opinions are certainly not perfect and want to express them as much for criticism as well as appreciation. One day during the remembered 2015 GSG Sanga the GBC Members were not present and the meetings were amongst Sannyasis who had not much or no GBC administrative posts. The idea that the GBC should look to its Sannyasa community as its source of protection, strategic leadership and ultimate spiritual authority was expressed by several Sannyasis present with citations from Buddhist history etc. Of course, our ISKCON Sannyasa community may not be capable of doing their role properly, but the theory and ideal should be kept and considered the most essential focus of the GBC to develop, no?

When we were discussing this one of the most well know of the Sanga commented that this was all true but if you expressed these ideas publicly then you would be marginalized politically.

In the written evaluations of the meetings requested the following day, I suggested that there was great necessity for more chance for the administratively uninvolved Sannyasis to meet and try to clarify their ideas about their Ashrama and its relation to GBC and Guru tattva, but there was no more meeting scheduled for this. Hare Krsna...

Of course, there are other efforts along these lines with the Sannyasa Ministry but in conversation with them and others, we feel that is a very key aspect of having an effective GBC, Sannyasi, Guru Sanga in 2017.

Awaiting your opinions for our consideration and to carry to our friends at this corner of ISKCON.

Thank you so much for the work you are doing. Practically speaking we see almost no one else doing it.
Your rather fallen servant,
Hanumatpresaka Swami

AGTSP!
Paoho
