Hare Krsna Gurumaharaja

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and his fervent Sankirtana all over the world

Thank you very much for your prompt response. We fully agree with your request for time and date.

HpS-ASA Monday the 5th seems very good.

We could do it with our regular Spanish language SB at 8.30AM Santiago time?

O.K.?

The theme that we occupy is to develop a chapter per week and each different speaker each day develops a number of verse to give a broader context and then focuses on a single verse of that section and determines it as a class. All this is by Zoom platform and transmitted by the Facebook page of Vaisnavas Care Chile.

The verses to consider are from 1-6 of chapter 19, first canto.

What specific verse would you like to develop from that Guru maharaja section?

ASA - AGTSP paoho... So, we could develop verse 1.19.1 and then discuss 1-6? The next speaker would start with verse 7?

Thank you very much again for your consideration and kindness in giving us a little of your time, wisdom and kindness.

Tomorrow we will start to spread the poster so that we have a nice assembly of devotees around Krsna Katha.

With you on the mission to Srila Prabhupada 

RSD

ASA - 🙏 🙂

Hare Krishna, Guru Deva, please accept my respectful obeisances, and all glories to Srila Prabhupada! 

Here is the proposed itinerary for your stay in New Biharvan Dham:

5th(thurs)- 7pm Gita class? 

7th(sat)- Home program at Balabadra Prabhu’s at 5:30pm. Hamlet and Arjuna? 

8th(sun)-Small Ratha Yatra festival around the temple then Sunday feast lecture at 11:30am-12:30pm

11th(wed)- Program at our home 6pm(not far from temple). Many Neighbor’s here are pantheist type of people and there is a lot of nature around us so I was thinking a class on Light Of The Bhagavata would be really great. What do you think?

13th(fri) - Home program at Jiyad Nrsinga and M. Prema Lila’s home?

ASA - AGTSP .... Accept our obeisances. How far is that??

14th(sat)-Rafting. I have a few boats reserved for this day and I think we can definitely fill them with devotees. 9:45am-3pm is the duration of the run. Very beautiful part of the Payette river. Mellow class 3 rapids. Professional guides that have been doing this particular run for many years.

ASA - Super! We need little deities of Radha Krsna????

15th(sun)- Sunday feast lecture 11:30am-12:30pm

16th(mon)- Chi Gong and Kirtan program. Can you lead us in the Hanuman Goes To Lanka poses?!

HpS - I hope I can lose some fat before then, but I think so.

18th(wed)- Pavitraropana Ekadasi. Small Jhulana Yatra festival and Krishna Book reading.

HpS - Then every night after that. Can be in others houses.

19th and 20th(thurs and Fri)-NOI work shop. M. Kamagayatri will organize. 

22nd(sun)- BALARAMA PURNIMA festival and anniversary of Radha Bankibihari installation. Anantarupa Prabhu will speak, Badrinarayan Maharaja will send a video for us to play and M. Arudha will send something written for one of us to read aloud. I am also going to ask Radhika Raman Prabhu and Gopal Hari Prabhu to send something in if they cannot attend. 

What do you think Maharaja? 

*There will be full Mangala Arrti followed by Bhagavatam class every morning and arrti every evening.

HpS - Super. We can broadcast.

Would you want to walk to the Boise river and back with devotees in the morning sometime? Evening would be nice too.

HpS - Yes. We can video it.

I also want to mention that I will have high quality recording equipment if you wanted to record anything for Dairy [Diary] Of A Traveling Creature-The Last Trip. Also, I’ve recently worked with a professional film maker here in Boise that might be interested in helping the project. If that is at all something you are interested in.

HpS - Very much. In the three weeks in Boise we can innaugurate Boise's participation that will continue through Peru, Nashville, Spain....

We are all very much looking forward to your visit Maharaja. Thank you for engaging me. 

Your aspiring servant,

-Nitisara das

HpS - ASA -- We had long talk with Murari and Kama gayatri Devi Das (and their kids), and

We are trying to fix the dates that Radhika Rama Das can visit. I think it will be the first week in August. With him, then we can try to have teleconferences with scholars such as the Jungians et al.

The Second Week could focus on, Cultivation of the Human SPirit - Light of the Bhagavata. Buy a case from the BBT,

Last week on "Three Minute with a Genius - The Upadasa amrta of Rupa Goswami". Got a case.

We see this as a plateau in the development of New Biharavan, the most important center in ISKCON. One generation is stepping back, another is stepping forward, so we have to have good questions, interviews, publications, from the first generation. What was their vision? What was the result? Pitfalls to avoid. Gold mines to mine. What will be their participation in the next phase?

Hare Krishna maharaja,

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

Nitisar Das was recently visiting Portland, Oregon and mentioned your plans to visit Boise in August (I believe).

We would love to extend an invitation to come down to Portland and would be happy to cover the cost of travel. We just opened Portland Bhakti Center on New Year’s Day and our developing congregation would be so fortunate to have your association.

Please consider my request and let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss our program here.

Hari Hari!

your servant,

Govardhana das

ASA - Hare Krsna!!! Sri Sriman Go var dhana Das. Now our Donkey, Body, has 72-American Hippy years on it. It is barely moving. We can see the "Exit" sign just 3-years down the road. So.... we will just be going to Boise, stay there for three weeks. If anyone wants to visit us then please make arrangements with Niti sara Das!

White water rafting for Radha-Krsna!!

Juhlana Yatra!!

Of course, we can do online programs while we are there that will be in almost the same time zone.

In general, we have many online programs so that ISKCON (Im)portland can come up to its full potential.

Picture attached.

HpS - ASA!

Caitanya-carana Das: Maharaj, thank you so much for your association today. Can we plan the next podcast on Carl Jung sometime within the next 1 or 2 months?

[12:53 PM, 6/22/2021]

ASA - We have space in our schedule for several weeks, to come. We are trying to arrange a dialog with the vital Jungian, Philemon Foundation, community during our August visit to Boise, Idaho, Sriman Radhika-ramana Das' home.

If we could do a dialog with Monk's Podcast before that then

we could use that to develop the

ASA/Philemon

work.

Do you have any goals for your

Sankirtan method?
