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!

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?

Hare Krsna Gurumaharaja. PAMHO.

All glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Glory to the fervent Sankirtana of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Thank you very much for all that you give us every day through FMP, and continuous classes on Srimad Bhagavatam. In this corner of the world, the cold is already beginning to enter the houses, in Karuna virus mode, we are here with my wife and my two refugee children, balancing material and spiritual aspects. Some time ago we moved to a place closer to the countryside, we somehow left the city, in pursuit of the well-being of the children and their spiritual development.

ASA - That is very generous and wise.

 I have been in service for some time with a group of devotees, promoting a project called Vaisnavas Care supported by Mother Sangita. I have focused most of the time on caring for the devotee, maintaining connection with them, fostering care, appreciation and attention.

The truth is that it is a very delicate service and people need to be listened to and cared for to help them in their spiritual process, maintaining both psychological and material supports for daily life.

Specifically Vaisnavas Care as such, is intended as support for people in their last moments of their life, appeasing as much as we can the material influence, so that that last moment is the closest to spirituality.

We continue day by day getting up early trying to sing sincere rounds. By following 4 principles and cooking for Krsna in some way in practical service.

For a year now with a group led by Jagad Guru das, we are studying Lord Caitanya's teachings. A very inspiring book with teachings in its words of great value. Very impressed with how Prabhupada speaks through that particular book.

Right now we are with my wife promoting Srimad Bhagavatam classes for children through the guidance of Mother Aruddha.

 Gurumaharaja, we wanted to ask you a great favor. For some time here in Chile we have carried out a project of Srimad Bhagavatam classes every day in the morning with different local speakers. Soon we will finish the first Canto and we wanted to know if you could help us by presenting a Bhagavatam class for the last chapter of the first Canto of the week of July 5-11. We have tentative dates according to your availability and calendar for Monday the 5th, Tuesday the 6th, or Sunday the 11th. 8 am Chile time. We can also adapt the schedule if another schedule is more accessible.

I hope that you are well and that Lord Caitanya pours out his infinite mercy on you. Thank you for every day reminding us of the importance of establishing that lost link with God ...

With you on the mission to Srila Prabhupada ...

Raga Sindhu Das

HpS-ASA - I think all the devotees benefit so much from your steady association. Did you get this from your parents? Any employer would be lucky to have you as an employee. What is your good wife and children's names?

Monday the 5th seems very good.

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

O.K.?

Hare Krishna Guru Deva, please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thank you for this wonderful outline. All of these ideas sound really nice.

Yes, you can refer anyone who is interested in coming to Boise for your visit to me. I used to work for an air B and B property manger to company so I will contact my old boss about getting a place for devotees. Also, there is a hotel not far from the temple that is clean, affordable and that is ran by a person favorable to devotees. So yes I can help visiting devotees find good accommodations.

White water rafting would be great. I can look into this right away. The Payette river is so nice.

Yes, park programs!

We will start working on the Anniversary of installation of Radha Bankibihari program. I have contacted all three of the wonderful personalities you have listed about this. One of the greatest bridges indeed! Gauranga and great potatoes! Maybe we could serve Gauranga potatoes..

Thank you for engaging me, Maharaja. Very much looking forward to your visit.

I will send an out line of the preposed schedule soon.

Your aspiring servant,

-Nitisara das

P.S. Thank you for your ideas on how to improve our Monday program Chi Gong and Kirtan. Great ideas! Do you have any suggestions for the types of flags? Should they be colorful and plain. Should they have any design element? What were the flags like at Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nityananda’s programs?

ASA-TB - AgtSP Thank you SNsD! Sample flag-Kirtan attached. Go ahead as descibed with Great Vigor!!
