HpS - 21 November 2012

Santiago, Chile
Esteemed Professor. It is so nice to get your association. Whenever I do it makes me think of Kolkatta and our life there. I think it is a participant in the eternal pastimes of Sri Gauranga and all his associates.
We just finished forwarding all the letters, paper, bio-datas, that I sent to you to Harsh. Then by Superior arrangement he called me by Skype as I was just sending the last paper. It has been so, so, so frustrating to communicate from here. The interent freezes again and again or doesn't repsond at all. So it took one hour to forward everything but it seems that it has all come intact. He already open Dora Bazan's paper.

We discussed how to stay in touch for the editing. As I mentioned we still have Ruben Devoto's paper and Miguel Polo's. We will work on them, but the six sent are very substantial.

I also received the copy of your letter to Dr. Mabbett and I have written with this information and perspective to our disciples and ISKCON authorities in Australia asking them to fix our travel schedule now. It seems that we will be all over the country so we will be able to meet very responsible people there, and maybe even do pubishable interviews with them on useful topics. We have done this before and the results is very nice.

Our health is functional. Half the city is suffering from allergy. It is Spring here and of course this is very great problem for us. We are following a strict diet and that has reduced it to manageable level!!

Here we have three major presentations as well as many minor ones. The major ones are Hamlet and Arjuna, the LIght of the Bhagavata, and Socrates and Maharaja Parikshit. The first one was at Universidad Fedorico Santa Maria. Everyone comments that it is the premier Science and Engineering school in the country and as you would expect their Humanities program is very first class and oriented towards practical application. Such brilliant students.

They loved the introduction to Socrates and the death of Maharaja Pariksit. Now it is developing that everyone is very enthused by the idea of next year organizing a big symposium here, and Peru, and USA on the Song of Solomon in the Bible and the Rasa literature of Rupa Goswami. Hamlet, Socrates, Solomon. We have passed through Karma yoga with Arjuna and Hamlet, we have achieved liberation from Socrates and M. Pariksit, but very practically the question is, "What do we do after liberation?" This was no doubt to the Bible Saints nor to Sri Rupa. Here we come to the esoteric life of the soul in Bhava and Beatific States of Consciousness. The response has been very strong amongst students, professors and administrators.

As our chief advisor, what do you think?

Monday we have a private presentation at the National Museum with the Ambassador of Indian and others and there we will present this idea for next year with an international committee.

I guess that is the basic communication. We are winning the battle to stay alive. We are as always very, very busy with individual consulting for disciples and devotees, internet is infernal, our Museum book is progressing by your's and Harsh's mercy, plans for practical NIOS work are progressing . . .

.... we are very involved as Member of the Executive Committee for ISKCON Ministry of Education. It is as disorganized as anything but many very successful programs are developing throughout the whole world. A realistic estimate is that ISKCON now has to serve educational needs of about 25,000 children and youths, alone.

...... our calendar is that we will be in Santiago until 28th. Then two nights in Lima, Peru. Then 5-days in Ecuador, the little country to the North. Then one day in Lima again and then in Tennessee from 8th December to 8th January.

... We will try to fix an exact day to try to reach the Nil-kamal or your cellular at 9.30PM.

..... When we get back to Lima we plan to take the letter of respect for you from San Marcos University in hand and then we deal with it practically from USA. 

Thank you so much. Now have 8-letters to answer if the internet will just co-operate. Seems really is better just to be a Bobba living in a hut in the jungle at the edge of a village and work from there!

Manipur Trip, Online Ed., Spam

Hare Krishna Dear Gurumaharaja, 
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
 
  Yes, we are looking forward to time in Kolkatta and Mayapura (and Manipur).  You coming to Manipur???  Could be nice trip.
 
Yes, I would like to come. 
 
  Your Blog ideas matches mine perfectly.  Like Yahoo Groups.  We just have to approve new members.
 
Manual approving of new users works well as by user names all of them are spammers now (3 to 6 attempts for new account a day).
 
  After SPT meetings in Tirupathi we should be able to plan the visit to Mayapura more effectively.  We hope you get to meet Tandavika and Nitai gaurasundara when they are there!!!!   What is your cell phone.  We won't publish it!
 
My cell phone number is: +917384458243
 
Many interesting things happening last days. 
 
Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha Das
 
    HpS  - AGTSP    paoho    Sorry slow to answer.  Big program after big porgram after...     Cant talk!   {:O)....          Raghupati Das is the SPT Secretary for education.   Maybe you know him. Very nice devotee.  Is doing PhD in Economics now in London.  Before he did the MI on line BhSastri program.    He would like to work with you to develop with area of on-line education in a broad way for ISKCON.   There are many programs and there should be tools that various students and teachers can use and then ways of assesment.    Then, the academic portion of learning should be integrated with the ethical aspect of learning.  Eg. we want to learn humilty along with verses.  Patience, respect...
   .............   then it is all useless unless we are advancing in adau sraddha, sadhu sanga......
                  I will write to you with copy to him.  Please remind me here if I forget.    We would like to stay in involved also.
 
2.    Guru Sannyasi, GBC, Sanga a  and  SPT meetings are from 26 Feb - 6 March.    We fly from Kolkatta to Manipur on the 6th of March at 10.55AM on Jet Connect Flight.              You can try to contact Ekanatha Das 91 94 360 207 63.   About accomodations and everything with the Temple.         We fly from Manipur, Imphal back to Kolkatta on the 22nd Friday on Air India 724.
 
           AGTSP!       Best luck in your Sankirtana, in catching all the innocent people Krsna sends, in keeping pure!!

Visit Texas / BhVai Texas

Hare Krishna Maharaja,
 
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
 
How is your health and how is your Kartik going?
 
We are doing good here in Houston but we have not heard from Bhaktarupa Prabhu regarding our Bhakti Vaibhava center approval. It is a long time for making such a simple decision no?
 
Do you have any other news regarding this matter?
 
Your servants
 
 
===
 
HpS - Jaya!!! AGTSP.... paoho... Our health, Brother Asses health, is normal. We are really Pitta so we get these allergy reactions to Poison Ivy and pollen VERY strong, but we are learning how to make a practical use of a Bad Bargain... My next Ass will be spiritual. And you al?
 
We are in Chile until 28th. The university programs are going very, very well. We have more and more solid contact and friendship with very nice, powerufl educators. I think the whole world is changing for the better. 28th November we go for a week in Ecuador then the 8th of December we are back in Nashville. We will stay there for a month!!! Good chance for telephone and postal contact!.
 
We arrive in Houston at noon on the 9th of January, Wednesday and then go on to San Jose on Friday miday also. It is short, but we cannot spend so much time traveling like before so we thought, "O.K. quick visit ot Texas while they are in vacations and longer stay in West Coast, then we can stay for few weeks in June". Is O.K? We can meet with, everyone on th 9th, 10th... January???
 
I tried to contact Hari lila about this but he is in India.
 
I would suggest just writing to Bhakta rupa again. He is very busy and the Board of Examiners only meet by internet except for their Annual Mayapura meetings. I think that that is all that it needs. Just an e-mail and even ask him for his phone number. He is a very nice person, organized, and I'm sure he would also like to have a personal relationship with you. He is American, USA.
 
Again, so very nice to hear from you.
We are on Schedule, finishing Canto Three. "No one dies feeling satisfied that he is leaving enough money for the family". "The material world is so designed that unless one is an expert diplomat he is guaranteed to be a failure".

             HpS - Jaya!   AGTSP.  paoho.     We are working on the travel every few days.  There are always problems.     More important than where is to whom we will talk.    Who can that be?    We can even visit people, professors, artists, individually and do no lectures.  We can talk with the ISKCON devotees, but who else?        WHo,  WHO,, whO?    Please meditate on that for some time.  Dont think small!

VIAJE A ESPAÑA

12 years, 10 months ago by jayanta in Calendar Development

Querido Gurudev: Pamho.TgSP

Su propuesta de itinerario me parece equilibrada. Así que, si lo he entendido bien, tengo que sacarle un pasaje de avion el dia 01-05.2013 desde Bruselas a Madrid. Un billete de tren AVE desde Guadalajara a Barcelona el dia 15 y un billete de avión de Barcelona- Bruselas el dia 22-05-2013. ¿Es correcto?

           HpS - TlgaSP    Pfanrh.   Pienso cual quiere tranportacion es disponible es su misericordia, pero si, esos son las fechas pero...  tenemos esperar un poco por que no puede confirmar el itenarario de Jet Airways por internet.  Posible es por que los vuelos de Neward fueron cancelados por el hurrican.   Voy a intentar llamar a ellos de Lima.           2)   Possible es mejor volver a Madrid para ir a Brusselas, pero si es bueno de Barcelona muy bien.            3) Permiso de equipaje es un asunto.  Tenemos que afilar cuanto equipaje llevamos de India.   O.K.  Esperamos hasta podemos contactarnos con Jet por telfono o intentar confirmar todo por internet otra vez!          Graaacias!

Por lo demas, predica muy intensa en Madrid. A partir de hoy, un sabado al mes Curso de BSastri, impartido por Yadu Swami. Tambien algún sabado hay otros cursos. Esto se hace en los espacios libres del programa de comedor, que el sabado es muy intenso. Madre Tierra- Navalakunda va para adelante. Madre Tierra ya hay una casa construida (Jiva Tattva) y se va a empezar a construir la segunda (Krisna Sakti) tambien muy buen devot al que le gusta y tiene experiencia en agricultura. Navalakunda estamos en fase de burrocracia administrativa ( las cosas de palacio van despacio), esperamos poder tener los permisos para comenzar a construir en primavera (SI DIOS quiere). Ya hemos plantado 45 arboles frutales, 15 arboles de bosque (nogales, pinos, robles) algún arbol ornamental (mimosa) palmeras, bambú y 12 arboles de crecimiento rapido para sombra (platanera oriental).

Espero que cuando venga pueda ver cambios sustanciales en la finca.

En cuanto a lo de mi madre, mañana domingo haremos la ceremonia sraddha. Hay una controversia en cuanto a las fechas, pero Yadunandana Swami dice que a lo 13 dias es correcto.

Esperando sus noticias

su sirviente

Jayanta

                 HpS - Super.  Super!  La Madre Sunanda DD  preguntando de Yadu Maharaja de sus contactos en la universidad!!  Posible un progama con la comunidad Hindo por tomar apoyo de ellos mas en la predica, no?!!
