All glories to you

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Guru Maharaj thank you much for your reply to the previous letter.

Hope you are doing well and your health is fine.

Guru Maharaj I was looking into the dates in your calendar, You are in Houston from July 1st to July 20

We would like to request you to visit Dallas for few days if possible. We can arrange some programs here in Kalachandji Dham. Many of the devotees in Dallas are eager to have your association and Srinath and I specially want you to come to Dallas and stay with us for few days Maharaj. We want to serve you Guru Maharaj and would be lucky to have your association.

If possible please come to Dallas Guru Maharaj

Eagerly waiting to serve you.

Yours Servant

Divya Sri Devi Dasi

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!! Do you ever consider that your role in Krsna consciousness may turn out to be as intense as Draupadi's? Ha! Ha! Hare...

We can't travel much any more.

In our youth we were often changing beds every three days or less.

We hate to burden people to visit us, our vehicle makes these decisions for us.

We will be packed up on the spiritual platform.

We will see Kalacandji and Radharani in our heart.

PAMHR, TLGSP, Por favor disculpe nuestras torpezas.

Quiero pedirle información sobre el Instituto de Investigación Bhaktivedanta (Calcuta). Para viajar a la India y obtener algunos permisos de trabajo en el campo académico, tal vez podría hacer algunos cursos en este Instituto y/o buscar una carta de ISKCON. Esta carta tiene que incluir la idea de que me estoy suscribiendo a un curso especializado en filosofía védica. Además, esta carta tiene un objetivo polivalente: notificaciones de visa y permisos de trabajo que me dejen volver a trabajar después de seis meses de viaje. Ya nos había dicho que usted se quedaría en Calcuta (Kolkata), Manipur y Delhi el próximo mes de septiembre. Mi esposo Angirasa y yo podríamos unirnos con usted allí o en Vrndavan. Quizás puedas ayudarnos a conseguir esta carta. El tiempo estimado del viaje es de finales de septiembre 2022 a abril 2023

PAMHO, AGTSP, Please excuse our awkwardness

 I want to ask you some information about Bhaktivedanta Research Institute (Calcutta). In order to travel to India and get some job permissions in academic field, maybe I might do some courses in this Institute or search for an ISKCON letter. This letter has to include the idea that I am subscribing to a specialized course in vedic philosophy. Also this letter has multipurpose objective: visa and job notifications that allow me to get back to work after six months’ travel. You have already told us that you would stay in Calcuta (Kolkata), Manipur and Delhi on September. My husband Angirasa and I would be able to reach you there or in Vrndavan. Maybe you can help us to get this letter. The estimated time of the trip is from the end of September 2022 to April 2023.

HpS - AgtSP!!! Paoho. The contact that I have there is with Samanta Rudra. He is very nice person. About 60-years old. Big international business executive also.

If you send a note to our Whatsapp account I can send you his contact. I think I would be very practical for them to occupy you in your professional status, so send a bio-data with your first contact letter.

Thank you!!!!!!

🙂

We are (AGTSP!!) discussing the Madrid - India - Madrid ticket with Jayanta Das. Yes, we would go in September with any delegates and aim at a 3-week overview of our India: Kolkata-Mayapura, Manipur, Delhi-Braja.

Then we could stay in Braja until ... ? ... until November and return to Spain. Then he suggests visiting the Canary Island until February.

What do anyone else think?

Divya svarupa Das?

Tunga vidya Devi Dasi et al???

Estamos (¡¡AGTSP!!) discutiendo el billete Madrid - India - Madrid con Jayanta Das. Sí, iríamos en septiembre con cualquier delegado y tendríamos como objetivo una visión general de 3 semanas de nuestra India: Kolkata-Mayapura, Manipur, Delhi-Braja.

Entonces podríamos quedarnos en Braja hasta... ? ... hasta noviembre y regreso a España. Luego sugiere visitar Canarias hasta febrero.

¿Qué piensa alguien más?

Divya svarupa Das?

Tunga vidya Devi Dasi y otros???

Anantarupa Das from WhatsApp:

Hare Krsna Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Thank you for your message. Yes I am back. And Yes all of us are anxiously waiting to see you in 12 days. I am busy helping devotees with our first solo Yatra. Kamalanand pr. had suggested that we are big enough now to do our own Yatra than be part of parade.

The devotees took up on the idea and all of us are hoping that with mercy from you and Deities we will be able to do it successfully.

Please advertise it on your blog and implore everyone who is going to come and see you in Boise to come during Ratha Yatra the weekend of June 4-5. It is on 5th from 12 to 4pm. And have them contact Sriman Nitisara Das, 503 307-8268, ASAP so we can plan for accommodations Prasadam etc. 

Looking forward to your darshan and association

HpSwami-ASA -- We hope many devotees come. 🐘🐘🐘

Hire professional cinematographer for Snana yatra and Rathayatra?

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj,

Please accept our humble obeisances. 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

In advance Gurudev we want to thankyou for being willing to tolerate us and our deficiencies. We notice that we have some organizational abilities but we can also see Krsna engages us in services for which we feel we lack skills in at times. Krsna has a great sense of humor (we were asked to give the Krsna Lounge talk on patience! Ha! Vaisheshika Prabhu gave a class on patience and referenced the Japanese art of Shankankan: focusing on cultivating one value at a time) Please help us refine this schedule Guru Maharaj. We learn a lot by watching your ability to prioritize and organize preaching endeavors first and foremost. 

We have been trying to coordinate with Radhika Raman Prabhu, BSU events center, and other Boise devotees about schedule possibilities. Here are our notes on possible festivals, seminars, wisdom talks, and smaller SB/BG/ Sunday feast preaching opportunities thus far. We remember you had mentioned online seminar/meetings, needing time to interview/film so if the events mentioned below seem to extraneous (we could opt out Friday BG classes for example) please refine.

Murari prabhu would like to know the ideal grocery and supply list (raw milk,l potatoes, for Lord Nirsimha? Any butter, spices, etc) Possibly you can send us a Bhoga/supply list so we are not deficient in any items. Please let us know Gurudev how we can best serve you. Your happiness is our happiness. 🙏

Buck White - ASA - AgtSP!!! Potatoes for baking (white and sweet), carrots, sweet oranges and apples, split peas, salt, butter, black pepper, Oats, some nuts and milk....

Jaya Madan bihari Bhoga.

We would like to advertise the Thursday Krsna Lounge program lecture series (May 19th, 26th, June 2nd and 9th). Please let us know what title would work best for the series and any relevant description. Guru Maharaj you previously discussed CG Jung’s little red book as a focus for these nights or Light of Bhagavat: White cloud wandering monk visits Boise Krsna Lounge. We will make advertisements for the lecture series this weekend. 

HpS - With Jaya Hari Das we caught Nitisara Das and also had some discussion with him.

Krsna lounge can be Floating White Cloud Monk visits Boise. [ ttd ] We will send you the soft file.

Title can be Science, Psyche and Spirituality - The Encounter of Carl Gustav Jung with the Bhaktisiddhanta of Traditional Inda.

What is the self beyond the body

What is the self as a body!

Go back to the world of 19th century Bengali mysticism and the formation of modern psychology with Jung and Freud.

Also we have asked BSU events about lecture hall rentals as well as a professor we know that should be able to secure the event for us l. We are looking at the first week Radhika Raman will be here since school will still be in session. Would Wednesday the 18th of May or Friday May 20th be too soon for a lecture?

Fine, same as above.

Should it be accompanied with a short cultural program before the event?

Always. 10-minutes of energetic Sumo wrestling.

Another option is to schedule the lecture the last week of May or second week of June when Radhika Raman returns.

Too many other things by then. Invite Lounge and BSU folk to visit each others programs.

The only drawback to a June event is Attendance would be lower due to summer school. Please also let us know the title of the lecture and short descriptions for the event Guru Maharaj. We would like to know more details about how long the lecture may be. Is this an event you are interested in Guru Maharaj? If not, we apologize for misunderstanding this outreach program.

All topics above. We will adapt to the audience once we see them.

Another highlighted event is Snana Yathra on May 22nd and bringing Jaganatha and company on the Rathayathra Paluquin through BSU to Julia Davis park on June 5th. We wanted to ask you Guru Maharaj what an appropriate name would be for the event. Festival of India, Boise Bhakti Festival, Festival of Peace or Chant for Peace Festival?

I think you already got some name. We would suggest - The Terrible Jaggernaut Rolls Again - For Five Thousand Years the Festival has been attended by thousands of ecstatic devotees of the Supreme Lord, Master of the Universe, and His beautiful festival rolls over the demons within and outside of crushing them into composte.

HpS - The NitiSara Das is looking, has he mentioned it? For two brothers to do professional video and picture recording of the event. Lot of thoughts about how to organize the parade.

Here is a series of proposed events for your approval:

Sending a copy of the PDF to NSD now. Need your's and Murari Das whats app numbers.

WOn't publish.

Please make adjustments/deletions and additions Guru Maharaj. Please excuse our amateur attempts. These are just proposals but everything and anything can be changed. We look forward to your edits. 🙏🙏

Sankirtan ki jai!

Your servant,

Kamagayatri devi dasi and Murari das

Hare Krsna!!



M. Guru-bhakti Devi Dasi texted:

"Hare Krishna Maharaja & obeisances!

AgtSP!

The dates you mentioned are open & I'm blocking them for you."

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP... paoho.... Thank you so much.

We talked with Sananga Th. D. again about the general Sankirtan program we really hope to develop during this visit, and then he suggested that we certainly talk with your good selves, co-ordinating super successful event.

We arrive 21st June and leave for Madrid 20th July.

We are fixing that Mr. Pablo Rivasplata will also be with us during that time from Peru.

He is the Director of Photography for the movies we are doing.

[The first one is 99.999% finished and very good.]

He is totally profession person, trained in Hollywood, worked for 15-years in Minnesota, director of photography for best television channel in Peru and stayed with us in our Peru Ashrama for several weeks to shoot there.

With him we will be editing work we are shooting now in the USA, and very excellent material from Peru.

During this month we hope to shoot a lot more stuff about the people, history, festivals and buildings in NMD: Temple, Restaurant, Farm, School... !

We will use part of that for our current movie but... ... we were thnking that we can do maybe three more videos about NMD of television broadcast size. Let us say 24" each.

What do you think?

Themes?

The work would be first class quality.

Other thing that we can do is offer "Beginners to Masters Class in Sankirtan Cinema Production".

Of course, Sriman Pablo can do direct training one weekend and say two weeks later the students could come back with projects they have done.

We might have Yadubara Prabhu on line etc.

It might become an annual event for NMD.

Could screen movies every night(?). We have ours and then others may have theirs.

Prizes?

Fees, limited registrations?

So, that is a summary of our thoughts.

S A N K I R T A N !

Perspective from you all? The Sarva???
