Manipur Trip, Online Ed., Spam

12 years, 11 months ago by pnd in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports, Hot Topics, Calendar Development
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

12 years, 11 months ago by hps in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports, Calendar Development
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".

HARI BOL!

 Hare Krsna Gurudeva ,please accept my obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada, all glories to you.

 Thank you very much for answering the previous mail, this mail is  to ask a few things of your coming , I wanted to know , since you are staying one week , how many conferences would  you like to do? I have two possible locations, and yesterday Nimai said he  could talk to the radio if you want to go again , as you want, if you need a rest, please let us know, we are here to serve , thank you very much for their daily association, really is helping me a lot, I send the link of the two  possibles places   if you can take a look to see what you think. who wants to serve sarad bihari dasi  
 
             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, 11 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?!!

FROM MADRID WITH LOVE (May Programs!)

12 years, 11 months ago by Sananda in Personal Sadhana Reports, Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports, Calendar Development

DEAR GURUDEVA,

PAMHO ,AGTSP, AGTHPS!!,

I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER.

WE WERE TALKING, JAYANTA, POURNAMASI, BHADRA AND I ABOUT YOUR TRIP.

JAYANTA SAID, AND WE AGREE, THAT IF YOU WISH TO JUST TO COME TO MADRID AND SPEND YOUR TIME RESTING, OR WRITTING, WE WOULD  BE HAPPY.

BUT IF YOU LIKE WE CAN ORGANIZE SOME EVENTS, PURNAMASI GAVE ME THE SERVICE TO CONTACT "LA CASA DE ASIA" FOR A SIMPOSIUM, DO YOU ALLREADY KNOW THE DATES YOU WILL BE IN MADRID?.

         HpS - ASA -  We have suggested:
          May
          1-8  Mad(rid)  y Madre Tierra.
          8-15   NVM!!!
          15-22   Barcelona
          22-28   Radhadesa....

I BELIEVE JAYANTA WAS GOING TO CONTACT YADUNANDA SWAMI TO TRY AND DO SOMETHING AT THE UNIVERSITY( DE FILOSOFÍA Y LETRAS) AS WELL OR INSTEAD(AS YOU WISH).

              ASA -  We can do both if they are effective programs.  Light of the Bhagavata is such a good platform!    But watch the Blog and Kapi Dhvaja for other projects.   Looks like this year was Socrates but next year will be the Song of Songs by Solomon in the Bible and the Light of the Bhagavata!   O.K?

JAPA JOE IS FANTASTIC!!!, NOW THAT FINALLY SHARAD HELPED ME TO START, I WILL JOIN  MORE OFTEN, AND BHADRA TOO.

           HpS - ASA -  You translated the book!

BHADRA IS GIVING SUPPER BG CLASSES,HE IS STARTING TO DO  THEM WITH WONDERFUL POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS.

THE GURUKULA IS ALSO WORKING SOOO NICELLY, THANKS TO PURNAMASI´S AND EVA´S EFFORT.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR CAUSELESS MERCY.

ASPIRING TO BECOME YOUR SERVANT.<img alt="" height="18" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" width="18" />

SANANDA DD

               ASA - Are you and Bhadra going to contribute a few children to the Gurukula or live a merry Vanaprastha life?  ?   ?       Have a plan for your life/Sankirtana?   Go to India?   Bhadra go to school and get a PhD in Education?
           Please let us know of any ideas for programs in Spain.  Can do a co-ordinated event between all three centers!     We have contact with Pedro Riba   www.puntoradio.com   Que piensas??
