Hare Krisna Gurudev: Pamho. Gloria a Prabhupada y sus seguidores fieles.

Sí, me parece bien que pueda venir despues de Abril. Si cuando viene aún está la Universidad activa hablaré con Mónica para ver si podemos ir a su clase (Antropología). Si viene mas tarde estudiaremos que se puede hacer.

Un saludo

HpS - Gracias Senyor! TlgSP! Pranrh. Aqui en India pasando mucho como esperado. Ya idea es ir a Espanya en Septiembre. Entonces va con Yadun. Swami a India para renuion de trabajo con Board Of Examiners (BOEX) de Ministry of Education, y entonces regresa a Espanya. Entonces podemos pasar tiempo, eventos, ir y volver. No es el mejor para los universidades en ir, pero en volver puede ser bueno? Nos gusta hablar mas con los profesores que los alumnos, aun ambos son super.

Como esta Vd.?

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

NOI Commentary

I said I would update on NOI Commentary on a biweekly basis. But I think if the updates are monthly, they might be good. They will have something tangible to report.

HpS - Yes, that seems good. Abraham Lincoln said that a man's legs should be long enough to reach the ground.

I have completed transcribing Text 1. Radhika Ramana Prabhu will start editing them next week during his spring break. Once he does the editing on Text 1, we will have a fair idea of how long it takes for him to edit and how soon he will need the transcribed files.

HpS - I hope that it does not take too much of his time and that it is a useful project. Maybe some one else can do a preliminary edit and then he can just do an overview.

Ratha Yatra

I was talking with Caitanya Caritamrita Prabhu about him coming to Dallas for the ratha yatra and he is still not sure about it. We will know about it soon.

HpS - I think I will travel with Hari-lila Das. We are in dialog to determine the best schedule. We need to focus on Sastric Education with the devotees in Houston.

I wanted to request you for a book signing event, like the one in Houston, when you come to Dallas for the ratha yatra. It can be on the ratha yatra day or on the next day's Sunday feast program. I can talk to the sankirtan team here about the scheduling.

We would feel very fortunate if you can stay with us in our house during your visit here. We live at a 5 minute walking distance from the temple or a 2 minute drive.

HpS - Thank you. Can you call Hari-lila Das and work out the details? CCD has his phone number if you do not.

HpS - Thank you so much. We will see you in just a few days.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to Guru Maharaj !! Please accept our humble obeisences at Your lotus feet.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

We discussed with HH Haridas Goswami Maharaj and few senior devotees of ISKCON, Manipur about Guru Maharaj's visit from 12th March to 22nd March. As suggested by Guru Maharaj we are organizing a programme at Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), the same venue where Guru Maharaj spoke on Science, Psyche and Spirituality last time. This will be a part of our Medical Society conference (MESOCON 2019). We would like to request Guru Maharaj to suggest a topic for the presentation. The audience will be Medical fraternity comprising of a variety of specialities. This will be on 16th of March.

HpS - Again, all we can suggest is "Science, Psyche and Spirituality - The Encounter of the Best of the Western Psychology Tradition and the Mysticism of Eternal India"

Then we plan for kirtan and a class ( Guru Maharaj's choice) at Toubul on 17th. Daily temple programme , we have SB classes. As suggested we wish to have intensive classes on NOI daily. Kindly suggest how best this can be done.

1. Copies of the Book.
2. Good translator.
3. Song Book - Gauranga Bolita Habe..., O He, Vaisnava Thakura... Krsnot-kirtana gana...

We also plan for a local TV programme with Guru Maharaj and HH Bhakti Ananda Haridas Goswami Maharaj . We have requested Sadhubhushan Das Prabhu to make the necessary arrangements which he gladly agreed. And...here is the special one....initiation ceremony on Gaura Purnima (21st March). Some of us wish to be initiated and if Guru Maharaj agree we would like to inform Eknath Prabhuji to submit the list to Guru Maharaj. Eknath Prabhuji wants the email id of Guru Maharaj. Which id would be most appropriate?

HpS - [email protected]

As in every year, we are going to have the Holika bonfire on 21st March. Once the topics are finalised we would send the final programme to Guru Maharaj as soon as possible. We request Guru Maharaj's advice and suggestions.

Waiting eagerly for Guru Maharaj's reply.

Your ignorant servant always,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - We saw ...mani Das here in Mayapura! We have no suggestion other than full morning program with SB. Then Krsna will give us good daily intelligence. We plan on taking the time in Manipura to answer a lot of mail and Annual Disciple Reports so we need some access to internet. I think Sadhu Das is arranging.

Thank you. Now we go to Mangala arati at SP Samadhi.

Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Your Divine Grace and Srila Prabhupada.

I pray this meets you well.

Please accept this email letter as an invitation on behalf of our (the Dallas Fort Worth Hare Krsna community) presiding Deities, Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji, Their Associates and devotees. We are so very honored to request your presence at our Festival of Joy, Sri Jagannatha Ratha Yatra Festival, that will be held on Saturday, March 30th, 2019.

You are welcome to also give the Sri Caitanya Caritamrta class the next morning on Sunday. That afternoon, we will schedule a panel of speakers at the Sunday Feast program at 5pm, with you as one of the speakers. The other speakers are likely to be HH Giriraja Swami and HH Rtadhvaja Swami. The theme will be about devotees coming together to chant (including reading Srimad Bhagavatam aloud, daily), feast and dance our way Back to Godhead.

We understand you will travel to Houston on Monday, April 1st and you're welcome to give the Srimad Bhagavatam class that morning.

Hare Krsna! Thank you!

Your servants' humble servant,

Nityananda dasa

AGTSP, paoho,

Long time, no see, hear!!!

We're in room 103 of the Gada building in Sridhama Mayapura.

We just have to co-ordinate our work and transportation with Radha-krsna Das, Hari-lila Das et al.

P.S. Any comments from Bloggers?

Hare Krishna Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am sorry to bother you in your busy schedule. We were just trying to make a tentative plan for your trip to Boise in April. I remember you saying that you will come from April 8th-15th. Is this correct Maharaj? I had a few questions about the program in BSU. The audience could be students and professors from Psychology, Sociology, Social work, Philosophy, Environmental studies and History Departments.

1.      What should the title of the talk be?

2.      Is Wednesday, April 10th at 4.30 p.m. a good date and time?

3.      For the title you choose, can you please give me hints on what the description should be in the flyer?

Thank you so much for your mercy Gurudeva.

Your servant,

Sugopi Radha dd

HpS-ASA - AgtSP Paoho. It is not a bother. Thank you. Yes 8-15 April. What topic might the audience like? Yoga, Christ and Reincarnation? C. G. Jung and Indian Mysticism. The Lord in the Heart?

April 10th seems fine.
