Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna ASA Team,

Please accept my humbles and respectful obeisances.

AGTSP!

May your sweet relationship with Sri Nrismha inspire me more every day.

On this occasion I am writing to you to communicate the following:

Mitravinda dd has posted an invitation on facebook inviting devotees to sing for the Fmp and after gathering a list of applicants it will notify you. She also contacted me to ask me to give in on Saturdays as did Candramukhi dd.

I treasure my service on Saturday very much, I am not good at singing and I know that there must be people who do it better than me, however it is my offering to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Nrsimha.

Since the pandemic There have been many changes, the use of the internet and the computer have increased at home and I can just finish my homework very late and this for now does not allow me from participating every day of the FMP. Sometimes I finish more than 12 which fix my mind more on the Fmp of saturdays.

Explain this to Mitravinda dd and now to you and trying to find a union between the differences of opinion I will share a Saturday with Nanda raja prabhu when he recovers and very likely the 1st Saturday of the month with Gandharva prabhu.

HpS - Is super. I was certainly expecting this. By our spiritual and material nature we are stimulated by different service, so it is natural that we want to do one and others are inclined to share it with others. Is fine.

Thank you very much for helping me in my training, my GM gave me the inspiration and the opportunity to be part of ISKCON and from you I receive the inspiration to embrace the SBG in my heart.

May Sri Nrsimhadeva protect and bless you always.

With appreciation, affection and respect

HpS - Thank you, thank you. But not news of your 'fallible soldiers", children???

Hare Krsna Maharaja and ASA team

PAMHO AGTSP!

All glories to the sankirtana of ASA team!

I hope that all team are very well.

I will always appreciate the example of life that you give us. You remind me of the great general Bhisma always ready to die for Krsna and despite the difficulties that the big donkey causes, you share your realizations with us. I do not know how long Krsna will allow us to be able to associate with you for this I pray to Krsna to be able to appreciate and value you and the teachings that I receive.🙏

HpS - The same to you and more of it!!! What is the news of H. H. Bhakti-bhusana Swami?

Thinking of the time (kala) and thanking the mercy that you have granted to the female devotees of being able to express their achievements of the SBG (tuesday class). I thought it would also be nice if the male devotees had an opportunity to present their achievements with the SBG.

This would allow devotees to associate with you through SBG receiving your comments or feedback. I think this would be a great opportunity for them. For this I ask to you and please forgive my audacity or offense, if you can to give only 1 Monday or 2 so that the Spanish-speaking devotees can expose the SBG.

-I propose Monday because it is the only day that correspond to spanish.

-Fridays correspond to Srinivasacarya p, and he does it very well, shares many teachings and reflections and he comments about SP classes.

This is a humble request that is what you consider best.

I also want to ask your permission so that on Tuesday November 17,SBG class will be bilingual, since apparently it is easier for Madhumanjari dd to speak English more than in Spanish, there would be a translator for her. Do you agree?

HpS - Certainly!! We also think that there is a lot of adjustment we can make to our Daily SB reading. It is a matte of devotees like you ... and me... making suggestions.

Note: SSBBS is it is getting better.

HpS - Aaaah! Our desires are immediately answered.

He already wants to travel but doctors say no, that he has to be resting for at least 1 more year. So now my GM is in the process of agreeing to stay one more year in the Cologne temple, although who knows with the character that he has it is likely that he will travel before or planned. He always preaches in the BG mood, surrender first. He says: without surrender there is no progress.

I suppose that something of the German mentality must be there, he once told me that the concept of more or less, it cost him to understand because he understands something is good or bad.

Sri Nrsimhadeva protect you. (Your Deity is very beautiful)

with appreciation and affection

HpS-ASA - I think Srinivasa Das has started to organize other speakers on Friday. He had Laksmana agraja Das speak, no? He is the organizer for Friday now, not the designated speaker, no? Of course, it is very good for him to present!! Such nice community of devotees we have.

I was trying to offer one class a day, morning or evening. Maybe to much.

We are doing Mon, Wed, Sat mornings now.

One consideration is that we are trying to coordinate our activities with the Ministry Of Education (MOE) and for that we have been working on the Bh Vai curriculum. It looks now like we will focus ASA SB studies to the Bh Vai Canto Six evaluation to normalize the candidates for Bh Vai in San Jose, California; Houston, Texas and even in South America.

With Gandharva Das and Bali-mardana Das, Hari-lila Das et al we have been moving this forward.

That will influence who is giving classes what days.

More news soon, but I agree with your ideas to have more of our Latin speaking devotees giving classes!!

Dear Maharaja: Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

In relation to your last questions in the post you sent me: ”How are you? Are all psychologists crazy? Are you crazy for Krsna?”

Unfortunately, I must confess that I continue to suffer from the disease of material madness, but with the help of you and the other great Vaisnavas I have faith that I can be cured.

Regarding the class, the structure is the following:

30 min: Your dissertation

45 min: Questions and answers (can be more if you like) We have successfully tested this new, more interactive and participatory format, which gives more prominence to questions and answers, in terms of increasing audience and participation. The connection will be made by Jagad Guru das with you on the day of the class.

The translation will be done by Cintamani Devi Dasi.

Yours in Srila Prabhupada's service.

Your servant Madan Mohan das.

ASA(TB) - See you in a few hours!!!!! Your servants!

• Que tus rebaños se multipliquen y se amplíen los sacrificios en tu altar.
• Mögen sich Ihre Herden vermehren und die Opfer auf Ihrem Altar sich ausdehnen.
• لتتكاثر غنمك وتتسع الذبائح على مذبحك.

Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Dear Maharaja: I am writing to remind you and confirm your class on Friday October 23, 7:30 p.m. Chile time, with the topic, Srila Prabhupada: "His vision of modern society", which will be broadcast by Iskcon Chile. Your servant Madan Mohan das.

HpS - AGTSP. It is good that you wrote to remind us, because we completely forgot! So, that is 5.30PM our (Nashville, Tennessee) time. Again, we should not do VOI (Voice Over Internet). We can share our screen, but the audio should be through a local, USA, telephone connection!

How are you? Are all psychologists crazy?

Are you crazy for Krsna?

Thank you very much!

Kindly find attached the Student Handbook along with another guide.

Would you be able to take one more Unit, if it is available?

Ys, Rnd.

HpS - So, we are planning for February next year. That is 4-months from now and at 72-yers old I cannot promise that I won't be dead or senile demented, but otherwise we will do it.

1. I see your manual. It is 121-pages? Will take some time to review.
2. I see Gauranga-darshana Das, Vidya-pitha Manual. We have been doing some close work with them. Is good tool.
3. We can log on on ZOOM but as of now we cannot do the Voice Over Internet (VOI). We just do the screen over internet and the voice by telephone call in. It burns too much Data otherwise. So.... do you have a Zoom account that has a USA number that we can call? That is essential.
4. We could do another session. That would seem to be our limit. Two sessions, and probably all that anyone could tolerate of us.
5. Can our Anjana Suta Academy students join as observers?

Hare Krsna! May all the Mayapura Cobras come to your Kirtans and show their hoods, but not bite.
