Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaj, 

Please accept our most humble obeisances Guru Maharaj! 

All sincere glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada!

Thank you for your association and willingness to consider these outreach programs.

The attendees will have a great opportunity to be personally guided through the Light of the Bhagavat and Upadesamrita.

We're in contact with a yoga teacher, who has attended more than a year of temple Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita classes.

We may be able to use her Yoga space as a venue for one of the seminars but will converse about the possibility this week.

She was wondering if key themes of the Bhagavad Gita would be discussed in one of the two seminars because her students in her Yoga program are also studying the BG.

HpS - BG is in both LOB and NOI very intimately. Let us refine the content with her.

The NOI seminar seems like it would coincide well with Jhulan Yatra, 18th-20th. Jhulan Yatra 6:30-7:00PM followed by the seminar 7:00-8:15PM.

Here is Current Schedule:

Regular Daily ASA programs on line, adjusted to local Deity schedule, USA Mountain Time.

2 (mon) - Gaura-arati and Arrival Lecture with Hp Swami and Sriman Murari Das (Bilingual).

11 (wed)-13th(fri) - LoB, 7:00-8:15PM.

14 (sat) - Rafting. 9:45am-3pm, Murari and HpS in Spanish Armada.

19 (thu) - Jhulana Yatra; NOI,

We receivied the following Yahoo mail from Zoom Robot 📺:

Then we got a copy of a Yahoo mail to Radhika raman Das from our Organizer, H. G. Bali-mardana Das:

Hare Krsna Prabhu,

Pamho, agtSP,

We moved the conf date to Aug 12th now. I hope the new date will still fit into your schedule, we are looking forward to the presejntation, The idea is to have 25 Mins duration for each presentation, 

Would you please provide the topic and the abstract so that we collect the info and build a better schedule this weekend.

Any preference of the day? (Aug 12-15)

Your humble servant

-Balimardana das-

Along with Gandharva Das, Gopi-gita Devi Dasi, and others, we have been having regular meetings to organize and promote the Annual Symposium, but then Bali commented that there were some doubts about the Symposium by Tapan misra Das, Executive Secretary, and then explained to us with some detail the dialogs that resulted in this postponement.

In some aspects it is a fantastic shock for us. We are thinking our esteemed friend TMD must have gone mad.

In other aspects we are noting that just this week we changed our SB and NOI schedules. So, we hope we can hear more from Tapan, and Bali will give us some more details to publish here.

In any case, will try to cooperate whole-heartedly with the Ministry, but we can see that already we have a Seminar on Light of the Bhagavata at the same time as some of the days. 😮

Furthermore, with ASA we will have our own little preliminary symposium on Education with/in ISKCON on the dates already planned:

www.GoToMeeting.com (737 859 341)

Evenings: Th-Sa (28-31 July) - 7.30-8.30PM

Mornings: Fr-Su (29 July - 1 Aug) - 7.30-8.30AM

• We will invite:
• Sesa,

• Param-padam

To enlighten us, and if anyone else wants to join please write here in the Blog with "Ed-Symposium" in the Title field.

More to come in this Blog.

His Holiness Hanumat Presaka Swami will speak Friday, July 23rd at 7 pm CST on "Sanatana Shiksa," the confidential, amazing, yet very practical instructions given 500 years ago by Lord Caitanya to Srila Sanatana Goswami, based on Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 2.20-24 on Sanatana's auspicious Disappearance Day.

"Hare Krishna querido Gurudeva! Por favor acepte mis mas humildes reverencias! todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! le saluda su discípulo y sirviente Jambavan Das, quería preguntarle si podría visitarlo en Nashville la quincena de Agosto, le pregunto desde ahora porque usted debe tener una agenda muy ocupada y no deseo incomodarlo. Le comento que ya estoy vacunado contra el covid. Muchas gracias por su atención. Su sirviente Jambavan Das"

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP!!!! paoho.... En el Kapi Dhvaja actual: http://www.jayarama.us/news.htm, hay nuestra Calendario. Puede ver, no? Desafortunada dentro 2-24 Agosto somos en Boise, Idaho.

24 Agosto - 15 Septiembre estamos en Nashville. Posible puede visitar dutante estas dias, pero AVISO vivimos como osos en el bosque, como su Senyor, Jambavan.

Querido Gurumaharaja.

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Nuestra gratitud por Su ejemplo que cada día nos rescata de maya. Oramos humildemente para que el Señor Nrisimhadeva siempre proteja su energía y sankirtana. 

Gurumaharaja he estado pensando mucho sobre su viaje a Perú y el deseo de tomar Su santa asociación vapuh, ojalá podamos ir, también podemos morir antes, no se sabe...revisé el calendario y parece que su Vyasa-puja será el 3 de Enero 2022 en Perú, es correcta la fecha? ¡cuanta fortuna para Perú! 

Justamente en estos días tuve una conversación con prabhu Gadhadara Gosai de Monterrey, parece que compartimos el mismo deseo de verlo.

Prabhu estuvo hablando acerca del desarrollo de su finca, en estos días prabhu Adhoksaja se encuentra apoyándolo para lograr un lugar hermoso, amplio, cuarto de adoración, sembrios, un río limpio muy cerca y están contratando internet, a 30 o 40 minutos cuenta con el restaurante y hotel con miras a un buen centro de predica, todo esto inspirado en poder recibirlo algún día a Usted Gurumaharaja, así que pensamos en entregarle la invitación. Sabemos que su agenda está completa y no es tiempo de pedir sino de dar y lo más importante es su salud, sin embargo queda abierta la invitación a este lugar cálido y natural con las comodidades para Usted e invitados en donde los discípulos de esta parte del mundo que no puedan viajar a Estados Unidos (por cuestión de visa ni viajar a Perú por asuntos económicos, salud propia o de familiares) puedan acudir a Monterrey cerca de USA, hacer cuarentena y llegar a obtener la misericordia vapuh. Quizás el destino le ofrezca a estas tierras la oportunidad de Guru kripa.

Muchas gracias por su misericordiosa atención, por favor disculpe nuestras ofensas.

Su eterna aspirante a sirviente

Dear Gurumaharaja.

Please accept our respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Our gratitude for the example of him who rescues us from Maya every day. We humbly pray that Lord Nrisimhadeva will always protect his energy and Sankirtana from him.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!..

Gurumaharaja, I have been thinking a lot about your trip to Peru and the desire to take Your holy Vapuh association, hopefully we can go, we can also die earlier, it is not known ... I checked the calendar and it seems that your Vyasa-puja will be on January 3 2022 in Peru, is the date correct? What a fortune for Peru!

HpS - It does appear to be so.

Just in these days I had a conversation with Prabhu Gadhadara Gosai from Monterrey, it seems that we share the same desire to see him.

Prabhu was talking about the development of his farm, these days Prabhu Adhoksaja is supporting him to achieve a beautiful, spacious place, worship room, crops, a clean river very close and they are hiring internet, 30 or 40 minutes has the restaurant and hotel with a view to a good preaching center, all this inspired in being able to receive you one day Gurumaharaja, so we thought we would give you the invitation. We know that your agenda is complete and it is not time to ask but to give and the most important thing is your health, however the invitation to this warm and natural place with the comforts for you and guests where the disciples of this part of the world remains open. world who cannot travel to the United States (for visa reasons or travel to Peru for economic reasons, their own health or that of family members) can go to Monterrey near the USA, quarantine and get vapuh mercy. Perhaps fate offers these lands the opportunity of Guru kripa.

Thank you very much for your merciful attention, please excuse our offenses.

Your eternal would-be servant

Asta Sakhi dd

HpS - Thank you for the invitation. Of course, even practically the world is changing rather fast with global warming, pandemics, social unrest, so we don't know what will happen by next January.

In general, though it seems that the best arrangement is to stick to the idea of going one place and staying there. Partly just to suggest the idea that living in your own village your whole life is quite natural, the way Krsna created the world.

A Sannyasi would do a walk about, but that is alone and with younger years.

Let us see if Krsna arranges a group flight to Peru!!!

You can be a tour guide!!!

Super best wishes for your Sankirtan!!!!!
