all glories to the sankirtan movement

all glories to the vaisnavas

all glories to you guru dev

we are living in huerta grande, cordoba planing and designing the house where we will and recibe devotees and organize some  programs there.  we dont know is this will we the place for long time to develop our life here but i im trying to live in the present and accept what krsna manifest.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP! Paoho. Then why not plan all your development so that it will also increase the sales value of the property. Then if you move you can sell it and take the value to the next ashrama.

 we are planing and doing open  programs for people of the area and planing cultural programs for october like LOB with the film. we are visiting devotees and helping to organize the activities of preaching here cultivating the love and trust among devotees. the devotees invited me to give lectures so i feel a big responsability and the oportunity to surrender to serve them in that way and strive to be a good instrument and representative of the guru and krsna, giving to other what they gived to me.

 i have to improve a lote to serve you well. my sadhana is not so fix some days mangala arati and good japa and other days just finishing my rounds. i still have a debt of rounds that have left me. 4 principles o.k 

some body problems, but since a remember there are problems. traying to help the "burro" to not bother much

we are talking with sarad bihari, nikunja bihari, param padam and rati manjari about the organization of your visit to argentina and with Jagad guru about the symposium of education in chile.

    ASA - We talked with Abhirama Th. Das for 1-1/4 hours yesterday.. With Peru et al we can co-ordinate a continetal event, such as doing the same programs in several countrys, sharing posters, even people participating in different countries.. He says Miguel Polo has got a newer more excellent translations of C. Jung's biography and is organizing a colloquia of four parts to cover the book and then have discussions amongst the participants.

the Ratha Yatra in Cordoba in Carlos paz will be the 10 of january not the 11. 

HpS - ASA - Noted! Brother Asses birthday is January 12th. Maybe he will help pull the cart back to Vrndavana and then stay there!

HpS - ASA - We have a little dialog with Para and Uraguay. Trying to fit them in. Any more details of the travel program for Argentina?

We did 15-minute talks on the NOI after Mangala arati for a few weeks and covered the whole thing. They are on startmeeting.com as listed below and we also downloaded them to our own computer. They were very saisfying to us, that we have said 90% of what we can say about NOI to this point. Maybe we could take the audio and put it to video, no? Put in related images etc. What do you think?

Nice photos!

All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Syamasundara
All Glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitay
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please Dear Gurudev, accept my humble obeisances
First of all, this report with questions about the congress ends huge. I know that is no the idea, but, i'm sure that with your always essential answers we can do a service much better and we don't bother you too much after this.

·After your last reply we have had two god brothers meetings and the followers news came from it.

· The devotees here are very enthusiastic with the idea to manage this symposia. So, according with our talking with Param Padam and you, the final date for the “I Latin American Congress on Education in ISKCON” is Friday 30th January to Sunday 1st ,ie, your last weekend in Chile.

The updates now:

1) Name and Generals Points

Just for the time I thought quickly in a slogan to accompany the title, and even put the slogan larger than the original title, namely, I Latin American Congress on Education in ISKCON, and is:

“Experiencias y Propuestas en el arte de cultivar el espíritu.”

We thought that this slogan may help to give a general guideline due is the first congress, so in that way we can at least, guide this international meeting, first of all, to the details about what`s really happening right now on the education in ISKCON in this far region of the world, sharing experiences and according these experiences; what is the general proposal for improve, and everything and always in a unity spirit.

But, now I think that it could be a little ambiguous, not too much tangible. So, what do you think about the slogan idea?, Maybe you can propose other one.

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP! O.K. Date is on our Calendar. What about ISKCON and Education: The Oldest Educational System in the World, Meets the Newest Educational Challenges in America.

2) Financial Issues:

Due the enthusiasm of devotees like Priyasakhi, Sri Pati, Raga Sindhu and others, arise different good ideas to get money for bring here the suitable exhibitors and lecturers. For examples, music concert, festival, prasadam, and even, caps and t-shirts. Actually, Raga Sindhu did a budget already with the tickets of the speakers, is more or less USD 3000.

On the other hand, i'm curious with one sentence of your last reply to me: “We can even get outside participation and sponsors because Education in ISKCON is a Premier Program for Global Perspectives in Education..” With outside participation you are referring to other devotees communities or to non-devotees institutions, like enterprises and foundations???? Premier Program for Global perspectives in Education... “in the world”, you say? Excuse me gurudev, I did'n understand that part. But, I agree with the idea to get sponsors.

HpS - ASA - I am not sure exactly what I meant, but as we develop we could ask people like the GBC to suggest sponsors for some of the expenses. In Texas we charged $50 for each participant and gave Becas, Scholarships for poor people.

Finally, in relation with this point. We could see the fees in the North American Symoposio (NAS) were $51, so, our question is: We should reply this system; to ask fees and give a CD with all conferences?. May be $40 here. My other question: Is the same price to the tele-conference participants, international visitors and local devotees? The prasada were included?

HpS - ASA - Aaaah!  We are thinking the same way. Prasadam and accomodations were separate, so teleconference and gross presence were the same fees.

3) Speakers:

[Suggestions withheld until they are contacted]

In relation to speakers we have some proposals and questions:

• The titles and topics of their conferences should be suggest by us or is their decision?

• Is possible to have for this Congress some of the speakers from the last NAS in Houston? With Ambarish we talked that there is a special interest in Urmila, and his [her] experience with school children. Is possible that she can visit Chile in that time?. Or Sesa Prabhu or Prana das?

• Also, i'm starting a contact with IES (Iskcon Educational Services ies.iskcon.org) from London to other teleconference if is possible. They have a experience in formal education but, maybe the devotees from Canada also can.

• What is your opinion, considering that the topics will cover all educational level, pre-school, et al, to Invite some leader in Education from the Adventist church, famous here for their vegetarianism and to win the chorus contests and other arts. In just one presentation we can know more deeply their success experience (www.educacionadventista.cl) and some of the legal issues to install a school here.

1. Other Points

• In relation with your question: Also, so many people can attend if it is done well by tele-conferencing. Are you familiar with that in Santiago? Honestly, we are not familiar with tele-conference system here. Just webex thank Param Padam and you, Starmeeting thank you, and the new and improved hangouts from Google, and a little ustream. Is just that.

• I designed two ads. One of them is for webs, lika a banner to put in iskcondesiretree webpage, and other local ISKCON websides. The other one is bigger and include the faces of some speakers. (I'm sending the last one poster to your mail now because like I told you, we don't want post publicly the names and either pictures of the speakers yet. Also, I will send in that mail a tentative general program).

• Mainly the publicity of this event will be on internet but we are thinking other methods like to send physical invitations to the congregations from other temples in the region.

• Excuse us guru maharaj for our over dependence of you, clearly we are a third class of disciple :'( .

Finally, and on complete other hand: in relation with the external programs (between 26-29 january). It will be two, and our dear and kind Rodrigo is responsible. We had a good interchange of ideas and information in the last meeting, the last sunday. But we will notify you about that after this Congress issues.

Thank you very much for your patience, time and attention.

My eternal reverences to you dear gurudev,

Jagad Guru Das

                      HpS - AGTSP paoho. How is the Brother/Godbrother. San Carlos????
From our Experience in doing this with BSDamodara Swami, BI et al.

1. Make a formal Organizing Committee. I nominate you as the Working Chairman and local GBC as Honorary Chairman.

2. Get a responsible Communications Secretary that you can work with.

3. Get a Treasurer.

4. Get and Advisory Board. I recommend us, Param-padam and anyone else who agrees to help.

5. I would focus on the theme of a) Identifying who "we" are and "what are our personal passions in education", b) How we can communicate effectively eg. letters, blogs, web-page, periodicals, meetings and c) make a calendar for planning a better meeting next year.

We only have a little time for this first event, so we should only try to do a little: Meet each other, make ways to effectively communicate. Plan the next meeting with more details.

Friday evening - Reception. Get to know each other.

Saturday morning - lectures

Saturday Afternoon- Workshops

Saturday Evening - Entertainment

Sunday morning - Closure.   This is one model.

We can present "Philosophy of Education: Basic Goals and Methods".

Have summary of local, regional and international education realities in ISKCON.

If outside people want to come or are needed then O.K. Other wise, next time.

Next time Thurday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

Is O.K?
In Peru Laksmana agraja Das is President of NIMSAR and Candramukhi Devi Dasi is very active. Patraka Das can get you in touch with both of them.

You need three major presenters and three workshop leaders and many people who can make short, 5-minute presentations and ask questions. Record it well. Edit it a little bit, get it out and start planning next year.

<var>HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. Hmmmm! We were thinking is essential to get your association to remove obstacles to our service!  Dates are O.K. with other Big Guns of Bolivia??? <img alt="devil" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="23" /></var>

AGTSP

PAMHO

Hope this meets U in really good health ¡¡

    ASA - A G T S P ! ! !   Brother Ass has a stomach cramp.  Ummmmmph!  <img alt="devil" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="23" />     His hide itches and burns. Maybe tiny insects. Probably allergy. 8.55PM. We are ((((alone))) and it is dark outside!!! Only good thing is having association of people who want to talk about Krsna, SB!

Please forgive us for not writing U early. I just arrived home.. We are pretty tired ¡¡¡

We have been talking with Patraka das and got impact about that proposal,  In the last NIMSAR meeting I personally said what is going to be the suggestions for GM's calendar but nothing was discussed in depth...

HpS:

Peru suggestion is Lima January 1-2, Cochabamba-ba 2-5 and Lima 5-6; and Lima February 4-6, Chosika 6-7 and Cusco 7-9 and Lima 9-10.

O.K? Speak now or forever hold your pizzas.

CMDD: humble suggestion is..due to U arrive at 11pm on December 31st it will be really nice if U stay in Patraka's asram ¡¡¡¡ HE SAID YES ABSOLUTELY YES ¡¡¡¡¡for he is an honor ¡¡¡ NO miraflores available and wilson is TOO austere ..... SO if U agree U can stay at Patrak's until January 2nd 

Honestly it is really necessary to travel to Cochabamba??? or do u prefer to rest and write???

Regarding to cusco .... Patrak told me that in that season there are heavy rains in Cuzco ... what is the program in cuzco ???

And Sattva??? 

well those are our humbly suggestions and questions basically we can arrange that Palika pick U up and then go to Patrak's asram.. 

Thank U very much for your patience and inspiration 

Always trying to be your disciple

Candramukhi dd

       HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Thank you. Of course, we can stay in Patraka Das Ashrama. His family is very nice. Yet it is 3-1/2 months before we arrive so maybe Patrak Das will inherit a 200 foot long, three masted yatch and we will stay on that in the harbor (and serve Radha Madana-bihari)!

I think writing will be minimal during these six weeks of travel. We hope to show the results of our writing during these months of October-December.

Sattva, Abhirama Das, I don't know yet. If he doesn't contact us, we will contact him, no?

LAD is the main contact for Cuzco. He feels with Raghuvaram Das retirement etc. is very nice to go there. Also, Cuzco is close to Arrequipa? Of course if raining travel from Arr. might be hard, no?

Cochabamba / Bolivia seems pretty important. So much chance to give our perspective on education and culture there. See other letter from Om Kesavaya.

Thank you.
Who will we meet? Any ideas?

Thank you guru dev traying to be useful in your service to srila prabhupada

ambarisa das

HpS - Thank you all!  Sankirtan! Books are the basis!

Respected Guru Maharaj,

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

Everything is Ok here, 16 rounds done.

I read in blog that you may visit India during 2015.  So would you like to do like last time you did, a visit to Australia from India? especially, if your health allows it.  I always read with anxiety your health report, who can tell you what to do.  You are an Avdhoot, a man of your own ecstasies, a transcendental madman.  I also understand that Krishna is always protecting you.

Today, I finished first chapter of 9th canto--King Sudyumna becomes a woman.

    HpS ASA - AGTSP!  And then a man and then a woman and then.... Wow! Be great for preaching to transvetites??? Krsna is all attractive.

Recently, I visited rupa.com and heard one of your lectures. it made me weep and laugh.

Priya, children all are happy.  I remain your servant eternally.

--Raktak Das

    HpS - Well, that was short. How old are the children? How do you make your money? What's the family news from India? Are you advancing in sense control?
