Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudev!

All Glories to Sri Sri Gouranga Nityananda.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All Glories to you!

HpS - Very little glories to us.

Please Accept my humble obeisances.

Sooo sorry for my delay to send your Calendar.

I've revised it with Vrsabhanu Nandini dd and Ambarisa Maharaja Das.

About the Calendar content:

+Pink: Buenos Aires

+ Light Blue: Mar del Plata

+ Yellow: meeting with scholastics. 

+ In violet you can see tentative classes. You can choose which time give them. We put all at 19pm, because it let devotees get to temple to see you, after job.

HpS - ASA - The Calendar looks fine. We can make small adjustments when we get to the City of Good Air. Can we put LOB Seminar first, then NOI and TLC?

We have a short list of devotees who want individual meeting.

We’re doing a hard work for get the books for the seminars, all Monkey Warriors and some allies are helping us to seek books. BBT have no Upadesamrta and Light of Bhagavata. In case we cannot get the books we think resolve it with printed texts.

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

We have 2 initiation candidates

For Harinam Diksa(1): Bhaktina Lara (Lali) and for Diksa (2): Kirtida DD. 

There are still some pendent requirements to get the recommendation.

A devotee called Vraja Gopi DD (JPS) ask me if it’s possible celebrate a grain ceremony for her baby, after initiations using the same Yajña, is it possible?

HpS - AGTSP. Thank you for so much nice work. I have no problems to do it, but I am not a priest or a Temple President! You have to get their advice and approval.

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

About meeting for Education and Sacred, you will see which day have the meeting in yellow zone in the Calendar.

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

The themes in the seminars are:

+ Upadesamrta

+ Light of Bhagavata (2 Saturdays)

+ Lord Caitanya Teachings

+ Education and Sacred

+I would like to propose other Seminar like "walking in Holy Dham - Vrindavan - Mayapur - Jaganntah Puri". It may be connected with Lord Caitanya's Teachings.

HpS - We only know about walking in Vrndavana and even that is not very different from the topics already mentioned. We can discuss it in the NOI sympsoim.

We think the Saturday and Sunday, are the most crowded days, so, if you consider put other Seminar on Saturday, please let me know.

You want to give some diploma or certificate in some seminar?

HpS - It might be nice, but not necessary.

About Kids activities, Vrsabhanu N DD and Bktn Lara, are developing them.

Thinking about your answer in Kirtida's dd letter, we add a BRAHMANAS meeting on Saturday, where you can talk with all Pujari's team and devotes who are involved in Yajñas service. 

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

Hare Krishna, beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Thank you very much Gurudev for making the austerity to come and visit Mar del Plata again. Another opportunity to enlighten us with trascendental knowledge. We are very happy to receive you again!!

HpS - ASA -- ... and make books and movies.

Here are the ideas/work in progress for your sankirtan activities in Mar del Plata.

You arrive at Mar del Plata Tuesday 16th of July 5:25 pm. You will be staying at Sri Govardhan assited by Panca Tattva and Adi Yajña prabhus.

Main focus will be Education and the Sacred.

Wednesday or Thursday evening we will have a program at the University. This year is much more better organized than last year. It will be a program supported by the Escuela Superior de Medicina. We Confirmed:

• Susana Violante Phd in Philosophy from University of Barcelona,
• Gerardo Oemig, Psychologist, with whom we organized the program at Psychology university many years ago, and
• The Rector of the University sent a formal invitation to the Bishop.

It will be at the same classroom than last year.

Then wed or thursday we are organizing the same program but with local leaders, freethinkers. I´m organizing it with people from a local political party, the same people than last year in Torreon del Monje.

Friday from 15 to 18 hs at the Public Library again Education and the Sacred with pedagogues.

Then Saturday evening I´m thinking in a program for local devotees.

And Sunday noon Sunday Feast at Sri Govardhan.

I want to ask you whether you want to give SB lectures in the morning?

HpS - ASA -- Yes.

We are reading 3rd canto from monday to wednesday and pada padma thursday and friday. Saturday CC and Sunday general discussion.

ASA - Super...

You leave to Bs As monday 22nd july at 1:25 pm.

Again I have many questions, but such a busy fool that didn´t find the pace to sit and write to ask them. Hope to make them soon.

Thank you very much Gurudev, for allowing us to be part of something great and worthy,

At your lotus feet,

Nikunja Bihari das.

ASA - In the Preface to SB, verse 7.6.1 is cited. We can use it in our Sankirtan/Promotion for the programs. Extract stuff from the purports.

Also, http://www.jayarama.us/archives/prahlada-teaches.jpg is picture of Prahada teaching. High density. Esperanddo mas.

Querido Gurumaharaja 

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

El monto total es 336 usd pero puede mejorar, estamos tratando de negociar. 

Incluye

Habitación 

Salón con aire acondicionado 

Barra de bebidas 

El hotel tiene excelente ubicación, ventanas con cristales insonorizados, WI FI y otros servicios. 

No hay necesidad que NIOS haga algún aporte económico ya que Prabhu Gadhadara Gosai está esperando el código de reserva para pagar y lo que haga falta sus demás discípulos y aspirantes gustosamente cubriremos. 

Gurumaharaja Usted desea tener algún invitado especial? para saber si requerimos algún servicio más del hotel por favor. 

Su eterna aspirante a sirviente 

Asta Sakhi dd.

HpS - Aparece todo bien. Aun podemos ayudar con los gastos! Tenemos que pensar en que hacer. Si podemos invitar unos amigos especial, profesores, artistas, podemos promocionar Education y lo Sagrado. Vamos a volver de Peru y Argentina con bastante cosas. Posible un proyecto, no? Hay tiempo.

Querido Gurumaharaja:

¡Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias!

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

HpS - TlgaSp…. !.. !

Primeramente agradecerle por su constante ejemplo e inspiración y también ofrecemos nuestras humildes oraciones a Sri Nrsimhadeva para que proteja su labor de sankirtana y energía.

HpS - Somos un ejemplo de cómo un Gurú de buena fe, como Srila Prabhupada, puede usar un perro arrogante en el servicio de Krsna. Gracais sus oraciones. Los necesitamos.

Gurumaharaja hoy Domingo tuvimos reunión de hermanos espirituales, como resultado queremos presentarle la propuesta para su visita del 31 de Julio. 

Hemos visitado el hotel que se encuentra en el aeropuerto, está situado a unos escasos metros de la sala de espera y además de habitaciones cuenta con salones para reuniones, parece buen lugar!

HpS - Super!

Pensamos que puede ser una buena opción de hospedaje para esta oportunidad ya que no habrá necesidad de salir de las instalaciones del aeropuerto ni tomar transporte, realmente serán menos de 3 horas con nosotros y lo más importante es que queremos evitarle tolerar el terrible tráfico de la Ciudad de México.

HpS - Si aparece muy bien. Esperamos la migracion no es muy larga.

Habra una habitación para tomar un baño, tomar alimentos y descanso si lo desea.

Contaremos también con un salón privado con acceso a los discípulos y bienquerientes.

ASA - Kirtan!

Gurumaharaja anhelamos recibir su darshan y si Usted lo aprueba contar también con una pequeña plática "Diario de una Criatura Viajera" (Aventuras en Sud América).

ASA - Esperamos podemos presentar "Diarios de muchas Criaturas Viajeras".

Si nos autoriza haremos la reserva lo más pronto posible por cuestiones administrativas del hotel y también para evitar cualquier contratiempo. 

Una segunda opción es la casa de bhaktin Natyelli, su aspirante a discípulo, ella vive cerca del aeropuerto y está muy dispuesta a recibirlo.

HpS - NgD y la demas comentando que tenemos que invertir un poco dinero en estas cosas y obtener buen resultados. Podemos planificar.

Hoy tuvimos un lindo festival, celebramos el aniversario de los 47 años de la primera visita de Srila Prabhupada a México.

HpS - Grabando memorias de los quien eran alla?

Maharaja Kesava es el nuevo presidente del templo.

HpS - Los Agentinos son los mas inteligentes en America Latino, no? 😁

Quedamos atentos a vuestras instrucciones. 

Disculpe nuestras ofensas por favor. 

Su eterna aspirante sirviente 

Asta Sakhi dd.

HpS - Si, aparece alguilar un cuarto en el hotel y un salon es bueno. Cuanto cuesta? NIOS puede ayudar con los gastos. Solomente tenemos que mostrar un resultado. Tenemos ya muchos contactos acedemicos. Esperamos todos son bien. Jambavati Devi Dasi???

Reverencias al Maha-rsi Das, Uddharana, Adhoksaja!!!! Laghu... y La Asta-sakhi Devi Dasi / Manasa-ranjana Das, Vidagdha..... mucho mas!!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

All glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami!! 

Last week I had a good meeting with Professor Juan Dejo of the Antonio Ruiz de Montoya Jesuit University, he suggested changing the general name of the event: EDUCATION AND THE SACRED TO EDUCATION AND SPIRITUALITY, we have talked with Miguel Polo, Walter Leon and others about the name. Miguel suggests SPIRITUALITY AND EDUCATION, but Walter and another professor consider that EDUCATION AND THE SACRED is a good name because for them true education is a sacred act, particularly for me the name EDUCATION AND THE SACRED is well to preserve the traditional format: PSYCHOLOGY AND THE SACRED, ART AND THE SACRED and now EDUCATION AND THE SACRED, what is your suggestion? What is the suggestion of the members of the blog?

ASA - Thank you!! See you in 9-days! I think 'spirituality' is too general. In English 'sacred' is good. It was Ramon's idea, but maybe in Spanish you want another word. I like Walter's thought!

 As for the calendar there are still some meetings to define, I think that Monday will be 100%, even so, the dates are already reserved.

Within the dates reserved for the talks are included a meeting with the Rector of the National University of San Marcos, a meeting with the Rector of the Ricardo Palma University and a meeting with the Ambassador of India. Next, the Program proposal:

Reporte sobre LA EDUCACIóN Y LO SAGRADO

La semana pasada tuve una buena reunión con el profesor Juan Dejo de la Universidad Jesuita Antonio Ruiz de Montoya, el sugirió cambiar el nombre general del evento de: LA EDUCACIÓN Y LO SAGRADO a LA EDUCACIÓN Y LA ESPIRITUALIDAD, hemos conversado con Miguel Polo, Walter León y otros acerca del nombre. Miguel sugiere ESPIRITUALIDAD Y EDUCACIÓN, pero Walter y otro profesor consideran que LA EDUCACIÓN Y LO SAGRADO es buen nombre porque para ellos la verdadera educación es un acto sagrado, particularmente para mi esta bien el nombre LA EDUCACIÓN Y LO SAGRADO para conservar el formato tradicional: LA PSICOLOGÍA Y LO SAGRADO, EL ARTE Y LO SAGRADO y ahora la EDUCACIÓN Y LO SAGRADO, cuál es su sugerencia, cual es la sugerencia de los miembros del blog.

En cuanto al calendario aún hay algunas reuniones para definir, creo que el lunes va a estar al 100%, aun así, las fechas ya están reservadas.
