Here You have the transcription, i wish is good enough...

HPS:

We need so many kinds of books, a lot of children books over there, and so, the all things too, as like you saying, is it´s ...is, is...

i hear that Prabhupada said "every seller have their own technique", and you can steal so...you can steal a idea that by a (¿habit?), (¿father saw?) and mother (¿sellerman?)...but in the ¿Indian? you better develop new technique.

Ok!. Number four: by the web pages, books, others, who are readers can contact, and turns...how develop books distribution.

VAISESIKA DAS:

Yes. There is “distribuyebooks.com”, which I recommend, and there is also a book call "Our family business" that has the hist...not only the history of book distribution, but also ¿waist? to organizar it. the principles that, well, that if it had "(¿here?) to guarantee your success", and they also, it also have some ideas about enhanced in. your sadhana, so i do recommend those two resources, definitely, we also...

HPS:

What...what about...resources??? for example near ISKCON Silicon Valley community...This kind..kicksdown to the thief question...are we aware of that?

Ok...i´m sorry, so, go ahead, because this question (¿?) again ...

VAISESIKA DAS:

ok, by resources, we also have a...

HPS:

What about kids, for example, like in here, in the area Iskcon silicon valley. Are they people who can...¿who come? and contact in Iskcon Silicon Valley, to understand about, how or who, you know, sankirtana with kids is going on of...(¿did, you say?)...that?...

Do you have different people there, who (¿?) people contact as your resources?

VAISESIKA DAS:

yes, in fact, we put on regular seminars, call SOS, Sankirtana Orientation Seminar, and during our seminars we cover all different ¿maces? of sankirtana, includes, kid sankirtana, which is been...become wildly successfull, not at just (¿that I it´s be?) but also all the others contacts, included London....implementing.

HPS

I heard, that, in boise, idaho, i mean, kids can roll me relate to it...ok.

how to handle too much your time...and...you so, next...(¿I?) should be appointed number five.

SP promoted four diplomas, Bhakti sastri, Bhakti vaibhava, bhaktivedanta, bhakti sarvabhauma.

how can they be integrated with book distribution?

then, they give one perspective, by design with all that, Srivas Pandita ...bhaktivaibhava study program.

We included, that, everybody have been engaged for over the four years of study, and some kind of sankirtana book distribution, and we consider that it was enough... that ..is somebody (¿taught?)...somebody Bhaktivaibhava can a day, (¿toughth?) bhakti sastri, two times during the bhaktivaibhava work, that (¿toughth?)work will be ok, that will be enough...of course obviously it means first, the students have to buy BG, Sri Isopanisad, nectar of instruction, and nectar of devotion.

So, that is one idea by how thinking to integrate, but maybe, this allow ...better ways that this diplomas can really be (¿tought?) focus and, you know...and book distribution.

VSD

Well, you know, I could not agree with you more...I, (¿we?) always fall and discourses, you and I, that, I think that it is, you know, important to have devotees trained in book distribution, and, (¿they?) have to be able...they have the oportunity they do it, even make as they are studying the books...make them come alive.

I see in Mexico, Guanajuato, they have a training center there. (¿Aravinda?) prabhu set upon ¿work?...they have the bhaktisastri, and, the same time, on the weekends, all the students go out to distribute books and, I like the convination.

I think, I think that should be a part of it. Of course, ¿you should be?.. everybody who takes Bhaktisastris, also..., a book distributor (¿cause?) everyone is a book distributor.

But I think, again, to go together like rise and dawn. And if you have one without the other, then I think, is...not complete meal...you know, “get the full protein”.

HPS

I generate programs...for all the education programs that we (¿would?) do, Hanumatpresaka Swami, and Anjana Suta Academy, is, you are studying to teach, and, so, how purpose...your studying, studying, studying, so you can teach...know...

Ok...then last point ¿gear?

How can the ashrama path, can do to college (¿?) to college (¿?)...they integrate with book distribution, and now we have (¿Su?)devi dasi, with their (¿?) (¿who is a...) so much, you know, experience with the primary ¿pries? School...¿pries?school, can be (¿?) and primary school education, so then ¿they? Should, can also kickout some questions here.

We were able to do a fantastic 30-minute interview with Vaisesika Das on Book Distrribution and the Ministry of Education, but we need it transcribed.

Can anyone help? Immediately?

We can divide it into 5-minute blocks e.g. 1-5 minute, 5-10 minutes...

If you can transcribe 1, 2, ... 6 blocks quickly please let us know. It does not have to be perfect quality.

HpS, TB. UG, BW..

Dear Guru Maharaja ♥ ️ ♥ ️😍

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Thank you very much for this incredible devotional life that You has given me, full of challenges and progress in different aspects of my life.

HpS - I hope we have been able to help in the gift but real giver is Srila Prabhupada and your Sankirtan Gurus like Maha-visnu Swami, no??

Now I am in Vrndavan, (the external aspect), yesterday I married my wife at the house of Mukunda Datta das and was HH Bhakti Dhira Dhamodar Swami, and several disciples of Srila Prabhupada, it was a small but very significant ceremony.

HpS - Super! Next Ashrama. How many kids do you have? It has already been four days!!! Get to work you lazy devil! Are they in University? Got PhD in micro-biology?? 😁

My GBC Guru Prasadh (Prasada) Swami gave me the blessings after all that I have gone through to try to establish myself in the ashram (it was not easy 3, very difficult years). Mahatma Prabhu was not in agreement but we spoke with the GBC and reached an agreement. a crazy but very enriching story. 

HpS - The tele-novela of VKD and his bride! Maybe it will be in the next Bhagavatam.

Now we are planning to do the sankirtan December marathon with my wife soon in Delhi with the blessings of Gopal Krsna Maharaja who is going to provide us with apartments to the Flourma sankirtan group that we have here in Vrndavan.

HpS - Very nice! What is your esteemed wife's name?

 I got back up to Mangalaratik and I have never stopped my rounds, my principles have become strong, Vrndavan is a very heavy Guru, he makes me pay for everything very hard, so I feel good about this great opportunity.

HpS - Prabhodananda Sarasvati, Vrndavana Dhama Mahimamrta: I know many books, I know many teacher, but as far as I am concerned, I know no teacher like Vrndavana Dhama!!!

 Gurudeva I am in family activities, growing economically, and I am not clear when I can move from Vrndavan, for now, it suffers but it is enjoyed,

thank you for your time and support, beloved Gurudeva. 

Dear Gurudeva, our Home had no deities, and we felt very empty, so we asked the blessings of HH BDD Maharaja and Mukunda Datta Prabhu who recommended us not to buy them, but to pray for it to manifest, in our marriage some devotees from Harinama They brought this Giriraj to serve her (photo attached), Mukunda Datta told us that we could worship Him as Radha Giridhari, dear Gurudeva please give us your blessings to serve Him and make some progress in our relationship with the Supreme Personality of God and his servants.

HpS - Awk! If you are not strict in your Brahminical life, Giriraja my kill you or your wife or your kids, in college or... He is tough guy. Better to get Gaura-Nitai to start!! They LOVE Kirtana and Bhoga!!

Dear Gurudeva please bless me for keep day by day Focused in Krsna Conciesnes in our Devotional service

His servant Vrajendra Kumara das

HpS - Thank you!!!!!! Go ahead. Steady, useful sankirtan service. Kids.

Hare Krishna, Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP PAMHO 📿

Happy Gopastami.

HpS/ASA - A g t SP!!

Gurudeva 🙌 while I was meditating using my gems. One thought came to me.

ASA - Hmmm?

Is it fair to blame one Spiritual Master for our flaws? I mean many many times I was addressed with the following statement: " You are a disciple of so and so.. Then you should behave properly. Otherwise people are going to say. Look she is disciple of ...... Look what she or he is doing.

So my question what amount of guilty [guilt] the Espiritual Master has in relation of the comportment of their disciples? It is kind of unfair to blame our Gurus for our own stupidity.

HpS/ASA - It seems to be a very particular thing. What is the influence of the spiritual master in the comportment of the disciple? At one time we were acting as Diksa guru for one disciple and she was taking shelter of H. H. Bhakti-bhusana Swami as Siksa guru because her service was focused on street book distribution. Then he told us she felt ashamed to tell us that she was not chanting all her rounds during the Christmas marathon. So, she asked him to talk to us. Maybe like the daughter asking the Uncle to talk to the Father.

So, we gave our advice to give to her.

So, she has some responsibility. We have some. Maharaja has some.

The demons have accept Sukra-acharya as their spiritual master. He gives them advice for asdvancing in material comfort. They want that. He is inclined to give it. Who is to blame?? Yet, one of them, Bali-maharaja very politely rejects the instructions of his SM to serve Visnu. Particular, no? Bogus disciple, bogus guru... bogus results. 🙂 AGTSP!!!

This year has been weird for all of us. Nevertheless, I had the opportunity to develop my cooking side for instance.

HpS - Pizza? Pasta? For..... Radha-Krsna! Jagannatha.

By the mercy of Sarvani dasi Krsna Balaram is in our home. We made a Barbecue to welcome Them. Krsna is really generous with us in all aspects.

ASA - Is He really merciful to you? To us? 🐵 https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/8/25/ 😎

Thanks for everything Gurudeva 🙌

Hope to see you pretty soon. Meanwhile see you in FMP.

ASA - When people volunteer to chant Japa for the supreme Lord, we tend to ask those who do not lead Mangala Arati regularly, so they get a chance also!

So, nice to hear from you! Don't be shy if Krsna wants you do some big service for him.

Your eternal servant,

CMDD
