As there is difficulty in participating live in the proposed international webminar conference entitled "remembering Dr T. D Singh", we, the organizer of the conference, humbly request you to kindly send recorded video lecture on any of the sub themes mentioned in the concept note of at least 20minutes duration.

Please kindly reach us the recorded video on or before 10th October 2021 .

If possible please send us also full length article on sripad maharaj before the conference.

We would also like to mention the topic of your speech or article before the dateline so that we can place it in the invitation also.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

The adventure of Sta Eulalia and the movie is just beginning ¡¡¡¡

It was so refreshing to see you again. Thanks for all your mercy, association, insights, gifts, etc

Today I had a very busy day as a professor in 2 universities such a lot of material to be prepared and corrected pffff. I have classes until 10: 30 pm. So I totally agree to your suggestion that I have to work only until 50 years old. That's it ¡¡¡¡

The university insisted that all their professors join an " International Neuropsychology and Education Internship" It is pretty demanding but also very compelling.

As we were discussing about my trip to Houston I am attaching some pictures that maybe you find it useful. I am chatting with Subhra Mataji. She has some suggestions about your next Sri Vyasa Puja, January 3rd 2022. I will go to Sta Eulalia on October 7th. So I hope to have the opportunity to talk to You at least 20 minutes about this topic.

Thanks in advance

See you in FMP

HpS - Thank you for using the FMP, Blog, Priority Code! Today it was "Hawaii". Haw. Haw. Haw. A sinister way to get devotees to join the FMP!.

😈

Haw! Haw! Hare!

Your news is very inspiring for us. We realize that we are small people in this academic atmosphere in many ways, so we are trying to find our way to help others in preaching in the academic atmosphere.

We are just investigating this Sta. Alelelia Ashrama. It is a nice name, nice Sta! So far is very good facility offered by Krsna. Of course a large part of it is to arrange for freedom from pandemic and unknown serial killers by living in a village.

For those who want to enter in the village and live without masks, there needs to be proper health and quarantine, no?

What is that?

Your travel in taxis, not busses, no?

Are they certified safe?

Other wise it is so nice here that we can sit outside in the many nice patios at a safe distance, even without masks, and talk in the swift breezes!

Nueva asoka van, Ki Jai!

Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan Ki Jai.

The photos are very nice, but need captions, explanations. I guess we can download them.

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

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

We are hereby attaching the invitation, program proceedings and concept notes for the upcoming International Webinar Conference on "Remembering Dr. T.D. Singh (His Holiness Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Swami)". Kindly see the attached files.

Maharaja, we look forward to your positive consideration of our request and your kind confirmation at the earliest possible.

AgtSP paoho.

We are sad that we could not respond to this topic earlier inspite of all you effort to engage us. Of course, we want to participate. We feel that we could talk very nicely about Maharaja and the tangible results we are getting even to this day by following his path

but... 10AM in India 15th October, will be 11.30PM here in Peru.

Of course it will actually be even later than that and I am not sure if we could even get good internet that late. Just this evening the electricity failed twice.

What can we do?

At our age it would be impossible for us to participate that late.

Could we record something?

How?

Your very small servant, HpSwami

HpS - ASA: AgtSP! Thank you Mataji, Prabhu et al. We are just getting our selves settled.

Yesterday, Thursday, we were so exhausted from the packing, toe injury, travel obstacles that all we took a lot of rest with our elevated toe.

4.38PM - Friday, things are getting a little clearer.

Of course, we would like to see you also!

We will attend the Temple morning program until 6.45AM daily and come back for some of classe, but we will join other SB programs on some days.

Devotees have come from Dallas with some publishing projects to do.

Of course, we are organizing our work with Hari-lila Das et al, and Gopinatha Das.

Caitanya and Subra are like our hosts, so we can begin to get a more final schedule through this weekend.

We will be here all next week and leave on Saturday.

You can see our Temple classes listed on line and our ASA News, Kapi Dhvaja with its own calendar goes out on day.

Please just post letters etc here, then we can deal with them. Whatsapp and phone texts are difficult to handle except for ntoice of URGENT texts posted here or some private details.

Of course, since we are Sannyasis and Bćaris here it is necessary that whatsapp, text, messages pass with the association of a nice father-husband-son.

Thank you!!

It is so nice to hear from you all!  🌻 🙂

CcD-SDD Texted Us (M/P-ASA):

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Paoho! AGTSP! 

Just read your tweet about your recent visit to doctor and then some from a few disciples... we are relieved and grateful that it wasn't anything major... too much exposure of arms to sun???

UG - Maybe. We have heard morning sun is good and afternoon sun is bad. Let's try to get more in the morning. 🤖

Looking forward to your association next week.

TB/BW/UG/ HpS - So are we!!! So are we!!!! 🐷 🦍 🤖 👳

If there is anything you would like for us to procure for your trip to Peru... please do not hesitate let us know... we will call this weekend regarding your airport pick up, diet, meals, etc... 🙇🏽‍♀️

Also, the disciples of BCS in Houston would like to invite you to our online 76th Vyasa puja celebration of Maharaj on Friday, Sept 17th... virtual program .. offerings , from 7 to 8pm...then we have a 10 min slot you can speak. Giriraj Maharaj is speaking at 7:30pm. Program from 6:45 to. 8:30 ish. You can join anytime if not available for whole program. 🙏

BW - On our Calendar, Mataji!

It will be a great delight to join! 🐷

From Whatsapp:

Hare Krishna, Maharaj,

Dandavat pranam! 

All glories to sri guru and gouranga! 

All glories to srila prabhupad! 

Dear maharaj, 

This is Isana das from Imphal, Manipur. 

I have taken brahman diksha from your good self in 2012 in imphal. Maharaj, may I have a request to serve you in the long run and take your shelter... 

It has been so long that I would like to contact you and have your sublime association..... Actually maharaj I am serving here at manipur university as guest faculty in the department of sociology. And I am planning to organize an international webinar in connection with the disappearance day of srila sripad Maharaj which is to be sponsored and supported by intellectual forum of North East (IFNE). The theme is on manipur vaishnavism. And I would to request your good self to be one of the main speaker on the life and work of sripad Maharaj. I therefore humbly request you to kindly accept my sincere approach to serve guru Maharaj. If you kindly accept my request, I would like to further intimate you and would like to send you details of the webinar. 

Yours servant, 

Isana das

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!! Esteemed Isana Das Prabhu, Please accept our humble obeisances.

Thank you for your Whatsapp post. We were getting 400-500 letters a month until we we started this Blog. Now it is down to maybe 150/month, and in general we are getting old and our eyes failing, so we will be doing less and less tying here. We can start to use help from Secretarys.

We had similar request to join in very nice program in Bolivia from very nice devotee(s) there and our response is the same. We have to have the program, calendar development, here is the Blog. Then the ASA community can take up the project.

With the program in Bolivia the communication some how or other broke down. We were receiving topic and time assignments in in Whatsapp and we responded that we could not participate without more developed communication, then finally we got a notice one or two days before the Congress with conflicting timings and an expectation for a 1-1/2 hour presentation on a topic we did not know well!

We tried. We even started trying to do a last minute Power Point show, but everything went beyond even our limited human imagination of how to adjust the situation. It was causing disturbances in our regular ASA programs, so we just collapsed, ran away. 🙂

We are all actually very small devotees. We must work together in the institution, Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON. More internally we must develop our friends ships. Finally we must have a direct experience (through so many transparent via media) of Srila Prabhupada's awareness of our service. 1. 2. 3.

We are all eternally associated in the Sankirtan movement of Srila Prabhupada. I was the first person to read a letter from Srila Prabhupada to Jaya tirtha Das in San Francisco about different management details and then Srila Prabhupada finished it by writing: You cannot exist without my mercy...

I was shocked by the force of the statement, but swallowed and accepted it: That is what Guru says!

... but then I read the next comment and was even more shocked:

... and I cannot exist without your mercy. This mutual respect, this mutual love, is Krsna consciousness.

So, what we learned from organizing these symposia from H. H. B. S. Damodara Swami and several others, even at the level of Noble Prize winners, is that first there should be personal contact:

Eg. For all the Nobel professors and others who came for the First World Congress in Bombay, Maharaja assigned three PhD candidate boys to see to their accommodation and practical communication.

At our level, we would just need one person who is in personal contact with us and maybe another participant. Ie. we may equal 1/6th of distinguished professor. 😁

Then we have to see if the dates work.

Then the themes.

Then who else is speaking.

Then when a synopsis of our papers and the papers of others is due, so we can all read what others are writing.

Then final paper or PPTX.

Then arrangements for publishing the results.

O.K. Let us do this so the whole world can see the glory of Manipur and benefit.
