Note: Darupadi is a great devotee and queen, and she defended Ashwatama in opposition to Krsna's wish that he should die for his crimes. Ashwattama tried to two times to eliminate the descendents of the Pandavas.

Draupadi mentioned that by mercy for Kripi, Ashwattama should not be killed, however, when he was sent into exile, he would no longer see or take care of his mother Kripi, and being true that the soul is eternal, the execution of Ashwattama would have been the most appropriate thing to do than leave him in exile for such a long time. Is there a mission for Ashwttama or plan that he didn't complete in this world?

Please excuse me my intelligence is not deep yet to understand these issues.

HpS - As we understand, Krsna was not completely dissatisfied with him. Asv. knew that his own father loved Arjuna more than he loved him, Asv. That's tough thing for a boy to accept. Then, after his father taught Arjuna all his most confidential knowledge, what did Arj, Pandavas do. They tircked, his father, killed him...

.... So it might seem that for Asv. to go temporarily insane was not unjustified, but he made too many mistakes for the son of a Brahmana, and so Krsna was satisfied that he was chastised like he was.

Guess he came to his senses and accepted that punishment.

So it is all justified.

Maybe Pandavas all saying, "You are more than us. You accepted chastisement for your sins, and now that is O.K."

In the next Satya yuga he will still be alive and will be given the honor of being the father of the next race of Ksatriyas.

Mixed good and bad guy like us??

Hare Krsna, Maharaja and ASA team

PAMHO, AGTSP!

May everything be harmony and Ananda for this great team.

I appreciate the mercy of allowing the devotees to share their achievements.

For all of them this was a great adventure of service, for some it meant a challenge, overcoming fears, difficulties etc and for others an opportunity to express their ideas and understanding. At the end of each class they felt very happy and all the collaborators too.

-In total there were 17 devotees who exposed the prayers of Reyna Kunti.

-Canto 1 chapter 8 to text 1 to 45 was displayed. Here i have a consult: from text 46 to 52 correspond to Yudhistira Maharaja. this part also exposed?

-Now that this chapter is over. What other chapter is exposed? Or do we start again with the prayers of Queen Kunti?

-There is a group of devotees who are always collaborating as special guests and in publicity Jahnava dd and Mitravinda dd. etc.

-Efforts have been made to involve all ASA devotees (FMP participants and listeners from the SB class).

Can we continue like this or do we make changes? What do you say?

-Regarding the presentation of the classes, what should we improve?

Once again I appreciate the opportunity it gives us to approach the SB with seriousness and commitment.

May Sri Nrsimhadeva bless the ASA team and everyone.

Whit affection

HpS-ASA - What would you like to read and discuss? Continuing with M. Yuddhisthira is fine. https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/3/14/ Might also be nice? What topic do you want to study? Want to start a curriculum for several years? Bh Vai?? Have been very nice classes?

Hare Krishna Maharaja, and Isvari mataji. PAMHO AGTSP. This Monday Narayani Mataji will speak on verse 1.8.39.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

All glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami!!

All the members of this project have resolved the fundamental questions: Who are we? Can we work as a team, and how are we going to make this project come true?

To date we are: p. Raghunatha, p. Uddhava, p. Gadai Gauranga and his wife his mother Nadiya, Nitya-kisori mataji, p. Laksmi-Narayana, Maria and me.

Summary of progress made.

ASA - Many hands make light labor!

1. With Prabhu Uddhava, disciple of Prahladananda Swami (he is a forestry engineer, an expert in agrarian issues with 40 years of experience) we are in the preliminary stage of locating and formalizing the property.

We have located two properties, one in Zuñiga (Cañete), to the south, three hours from Lima and another in Pativilca, to the north, at 3 or 3.30 hours.

We are also evaluating, Canta, Huarochirí and San Mateo. As you mentioned that Pamashto is very far (20 hours from Lima), we are locating the property within a radius of no more than 4 hours from Lima, okay?

ASA-Uncle Gismo - It must be within 45-minutes of a city where there is a university, no? Must be land for ASA and other land that friends of ASA can buy. Water. Maybe in Ecuador???

2. With the Ecological House of the Catholic University and Walter Leon we are seeing a project to build ecological houses, we are baptizing this model as RAM house (Rural, Anti-seismic and Multipurpose). They will also advise us on the use of wind energy and solar panels. Any suggestion?

HpS - Grass converts solar power, oxen and bulls eat grass and provide work, no? Good solar power?? Can develop property so that it will be attractive to other buyers, not just Hare Krsna buildings, then can sell and buy other place if better?

3. With the La Molina Agrarian University we are in very good conversations so that this project is evaluated for its organic and ecological crops with permaculture, they will make a soil evaluation and investigate our production model as a model to be replicated. Any suggestion?

ASA - Puede tomar apoyo del Maharaja Bhakti purusotraya Swami y su proyecto???

4. Nitya-kisori is a business administrator and her brother Franco is a planning expert trained in France, both of them, starting in January, begin to design the administrative and legal structure of the project and an annual work plan for the next three years . Any suggestion?

HpS - Good.

It is a fact that we have to have a place where we can practice the way of life that we preach: "Simple life and high thinking." I have been talking these last weeks with different types of people, academics, artists and businessmen, they all agree that the creation of these ecological and cultural villages is the best way to live in goodness and to properly face this pandemic and all those that seem to be looming.

ASA - They are all Krsna's mercy. Bhakta Fred thinks that Krsna has given power to people in the Kali-yuga to develop industrial power, yantra vidhi, but now they are destroying the Earth, so He is finishing it. This pandemic will mutate and in the end the industrialized life style will be destroyed. Peopl will be successful who live in nations based upon village, rural life. Village, Town, City, County, Nation.

The will be 80% self sufficient just from their village life and not travel too much or too far, but will be very well connected if need be.

Normal Dvapara yuga life.

HARE KRISHNA GURUDEVA, her useless servant, Abhirama Thakura dasa.

HpS - ASA --- Thank you many!!!!! ASA Asokavan, Peru, Radha-kunda.

Proyecto: Aldea Agroecológica y Cultural "Nueva Aksovan"

Todos los integrantes de este proyecto han resuelto las preguntas fundamentales: ¿Quiénes somos? ¿Podemos trabajar en equipo? y ¿cómo vamos a hacer realidad este proyecto?

Hasta la fecha somos: p. Raghunatha, pág. Uddhava, pág. Gadai Gauranga y su esposa su madre Nadiya, Nitya-kisori mataji, p. Laksmi-Narayana, Maria y yo.

Resumen de los avances realizados.

1. Con Prabhu Uddhava, discípulo de Prahladananda Swami (es un ingeniero forestal, experto en temas agrarios con 40 años de experiencia) estamos en la etapa preliminar de ubicar y formalizar la propiedad. Hemos localizado dos propiedades, una en Zuñiga (Cañete), al sur, a tres horas de Lima y otra en Pativilca, al norte, a las 3 o 3.30 horas. También estamos evaluando, Canta, Huarochirí y San Mateo. Como mencionaste que Pamashto está muy lejos (a 20 horas de Lima), estamos ubicando la propiedad en un radio de no más de 4 horas desde Lima, ¿está bien?

2. Con la Casa Ecológica de la Universidad Católica y Walter León estamos viendo un proyecto de construcción de casas ecológicas, bautizamos este modelo como casa RAM (Rural, Antisísmica y Multipropósito). También nos asesorarán sobre el uso de energía eólica y paneles solares. ¿Alguna sugerencia?

3. Con la Universidad Agraria La Molina estamos en muy buenas conversaciones para que este proyecto sea evaluado por sus cultivos orgánicos y ecológicos con permacultura, ellos harán una evaluación de suelos e investigarán nuestro modelo de producción como modelo a replicar. ¿Alguna sugerencia?

4. Nitya-kisori es administradora de empresas y su hermano Franco es un experto en planificación formado en Francia, ambos, a partir de enero, comienzan a diseñar la estructura administrativa y legal del proyecto y un plan de trabajo anual para los próximos tres años. ¿Alguna sugerencia?

Es un hecho que tenemos que tener un lugar donde podamos practicar la forma de vida que predicamos: "Vida simple y pensamiento elevado". He estado hablando estas últimas semanas con diferentes tipos de personas, académicos, artistas y empresarios, todos coinciden en que la creación de estas aldeas ecológicas y culturales es la mejor manera de vivir en bondad y enfrentar adecuadamente esta pandemia y todas las que parecen que ya se avecinan.

HARE KRISHNA GURUDEVA, su sirviente inútil, Abhirama Thakura dasa.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

All glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami!!

To guarantee the continuity of SOLARIS, we have formed an editorial technical team that covers Latin America, the United States, Spain and India, we meet every 3 weeks on Saturdays, Miguel participates once a month, you can participate whenever you want, any suggestions ?

ASA - Who are they?

We are currently in the process of developing the website following the indications for indexing in LATINDEX.

We are also developing an annual calendar of activities that will be submitted to the NIOS board of directors for their approval, okay?

ASA - Yes, and then they may want more connection, meetings etc.

Basically the objectives to be met are:

1. Guarantee the publication of the magazine in May and November, that is, twice a year. It's okay?

ASA - Seems fine to me? People get it before the school year ends.

2. Finish designing the web and inaugurate it at Nityananda Trayodasi as an offering to Sri Nityananda Ram. It's okay?

ASA - Details. Who will be the Web-master?

3. Expand participation of academics who write in English so that SOLARIS content is 40-50% in English. Any suggestion?

ASA - We need to ask friends and relations from India. Of course, Prof. Samaresh, Prof. Harsh... Miguel must contact them.

4. Achieve by 2021, between 500 and 1000 registered people and 100 subscribers and by 2022, 2000 registered and 300 subscribers. The difference between registered persons and subscribers is that registered persons only receive information via e-mail, while subscribers also receive the printed version of the magazine. The goal is to make SOLARIS self-sufficient based on its quality and its number of subscribers.

ASA - What are similar magazines? What is their subscription?

5. Pass the first indexing at the end of the year.

Gurudeva there is a new member in the NIOS-Peru team, he introduced himself as a Bhakta White Rabbit, he will be in charge of all the fortnightly reports and for that purpose he has called himself “Snowball”.

ASA - Is this him? Was he a hippy, now a devotee? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WANNqr-vcx0

That's it for now GURUDEVA, HARE KRISHNA !!

His insignificant servant, Abhirama Thakura dasa.

AGTSP! Servants of your servants.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Para garantizar la continuidad de SOLARIS, hemos formado un equipo técnico editorial que cubre Latinoamérica, Estados Unidos, España e India, nos reunimos cada 3 semanas los sábados, Miguel participa una vez al mes, usted puede participar cuando desee, alguna sugerencia?

Actualmente estamos en el proceso de desarrollo del sitio web siguiendo las indicaciones de indexación en LATINDEX.

También estamos desarrollando un calendario anual de actividades que se presentará a la junta directiva de NIOS para su aprobación, ¿está bien?

Básicamente las metas a cumplir son:

1. Garantizar la publicación de la revista en mayo y noviembre, es decir, dos veces al año. ¿Está bien?

2. Terminar de diseñar la web e inaugurarla en Nityananda Trayodasi como ofrenda a Sri Nityananda Ram. ¿Está bien?

3. Ampliar la participación de académicos que escriben en inglés para que el contenido de SOLARIS sea 40-50% en inglés. ¿alguna sugerencia?

4. Lograr para el 2021, entre 500 y 1000 personas registradas y 100 suscriptores y para 2022, 2000 registrados y 300 suscriptores. La diferencia entre personas registradas y suscriptores es que las personas registradas solo reciben información por correo electrónico, mientras que los suscriptores también reciben la versión impresa de la revista. El objetivo es hacer que SOLARIS sea autosuficiente en función de su calidad y su número de suscriptores.

5. Aprobar la primera indexación al final del año.

Gurudeva hay un nuevo integrante en el equipo de NIOS-Perú, él se presentó como bhakta Conejo Blanco, él estará a cargo de todos los reportajes quincenales y para ello se ha autodenominado “Snowball”.

Eso es todo por ahora GURUDEVA, HARE KRISHNA !!

Su sirviente insignificante, Abhirama Thakura dasa.
