Calendar - Now to May (Santiago Conference)

10 years, 3 months ago by hps in Hot Topics, Calendar Development

AGTSP!    Paoho

Our Calendar is based upo​n our mobility.   Our mobility is based upon Brother As'ss strength, energy.  We have recoverd 90% from the stress of our Houston, Mexico, Peru trip, but that means we are about 40% of what we were at 35-years old (but smarter), and it will certainly get less (and really smart of we are careful to apply Srila Prabhupada's instructions) as we go to our death (new body).

Internally we are dedicated to Saturday morning Pada-padma classes: Canto One and Two of Srimad Bhagavatam, and evening class in Spanish.  Other things we are including as natural.

We have a lot of work daily by telephone with Boise, Ministry of Education, Texas - ASA Nashville Sankirtan Central.

We have very interesting, but not now very clear, invitations from Latin America, so we are thinking of making our own plans to visit there.   We suggest that we go to Santiago from Nashville on the  6th of January and return on the 3rd of February.   We can visit other places from there if important.  That will cost us $1,100.

We will buy this ticket on Wednesday unless we hear something else.


Speak now or forever hold your peace.

==========================

We will be based here, Nashville, 16th to 20th we will go to the Raleigh Rathayatra. Very close.   Then probably go to Houston [Mexico?] after November 18th.

Maybe Houston [Mexico?] 3rd - 10th February.

Then India for a few months as necessary.

All plans subject to change as the mood strikes us (Monkey/Piggy).

==========================

Planning Chile,  any Congress

Make the topics first and look for the speakers et al?       We think it is first understand what will motivate us, then find the speakers, and of course the topic will be related to the speakers.  It is like the person Bhagavat and the book Bhagavata.  Can't separate, but person first by a little bit.

Hare Krsna!

The Essence of ISKCON-ASA

10 years, 3 months ago by harsh_horse in Hot Topics

Madhudvisa: He wants to know how to find out how to please the spiritual master with one service.

Srila Prabhupāda: The spiritual master has given you so many things to do. First of all finish that. First of all finish sixteen rounds, observe the regulative principles. First of all finish this duty. And neglecting this duty, what can you do further? If you cannot finish sixteen rounds of chanting and if you cannot observe the regulative principles, then what else can you do? First of all finish this duty. Be expert in finishing, executing these duties. Then ask for another duty. And if you finish these duties, automatically Krishna will give you intelligence. Tesām satata-yuktānām bhajatām prīti-pūrvakam [Bg. 10.10]. One who is actually engaged in the service of the Lord, buddhi-yogam dadāmi tam, “I give him intelligence.” Krishna will give you intelligence. You will be able to talk with Krishna from within if you become sincere. If you cannot execute the preliminary duties, then how can you execute further duty? There is no question.([The above conversation was recorded on February 22, 1973 in Auckland, New Zealand]

 
HpS - ASA -  Thank you so much Harsh!   This is exact statement of what we have been preaching as a refined conclusion for several years now. To see it written like this is wonderful. We will put it in www... guru-tattva.txt immediately.    It seems to us you are really solving your own problems challenges. It seems that you are really becoming a spiritual PhD.  Call you tomorrow.

Bhakti Vaibhava Authorization etc.

10 years, 3 months ago by abhinanda in Special Category A, Hot Topics

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

PAMHO.AGTSP.

I hope you are in good health. My question is about Bhakti Vaibhava Degree. What institution accredited this course? What are the requirements to be an Examiner of Bhakti Vaibhava?

One of the functions  of the educational  Commission is to ensure that devotees read the BG and SBhg. One idea for doing this is that the readings are included in the tests. I think a devotee of the first initiation must have already read the BG and devotee to the second initiation must have read the canto 1, 2 of SBG and Nectar of Devotion  then a reading program could bring him close to Krsna.

Many Thanks Gurudeva. (forgive my bad english)

Abhinanda das

 
HpS - ASA --- AGTSP.  Very nice questions. Thank you.

1. The Bhakti-vaihava diploma is given by the ISKCON Ministry of Education through it's Board of Examiners and then through authorized Bhakti-vaibhava
Teaching and Testing Centers. You should be able to find this information at www.iskconeducation.org unde the Schools and Institutions section. It is a little disorganized. They need a general description of who they, BOE, are.
 
 The only TandT Centers in the Western Hemisphere at this point are San Jose, California; Houston, Texas; and Dhanvantari Swami's Center in Brazil. Mayapura Intitute and maybe Souh Africa and VIHE, and Yadunanadana Swami's center in Spain, are also authorized. Washington D. C. with Braja-bihari Das is close to being authorized.

Peru applied some time ago but there were several things that needed to be adjusted in the application and then Laksmana had his big medical collapse, so since then it has been a disorganized program. Yugala-kishore Dasi and Laksmana Das have been very, very regular and sincere in going through the materials with the 1st San Jose group, but even that group is doing a lot of work to correct things, because they are the first group. There are two more later groups in San Jose, early cantos.
 
O.K. Is clear?

2. Next point. For first initiation there is no ISKCON standard except for the Guru-Disciple course as far as I know. Of course, almost every Yatra has some kind of course like your, "Introduction to Bhakti Yoga" course. Basic books tht are generally introduced are: The Science of Self-realization, one-volume Lilamrta, Nectar of Instruction, Life of Lord Caitanya (Intro to SB).
For second Initiation the Bhakti Sastri is becoming required.

It is a big pioneering era, so don't try to fix anything too rigid yet. Stay in touch with other Yatras, devotees, develope you local program with great enthusiasm, but in an integrated way with the whole society. Prabhupada did a lot of experimentation in the beginning.

O.K???
 
 
 
 

South American Calendar (December-February)

10 years, 3 months ago by Adi Yajña Das in Hot Topics, Calendar Development

Toda gloria a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias querido Gurudev!!!

HpS - Jaya!!!!       MUCHAS GRACIAS estas noticias. No esta fijado. Pienso bajar a S. America no mas antes de 15 Deciembre y pasar por Mexico, Peru, Argentina, fin de Enero en Chile. 11 Enero es 'Vyasa Puja'. Muchas peticiones pasar lo en Chile. Despues Lima, Mexico, HOUSTON, INDIA Febrero - Mayo.

Que piensa?    Cuando regresa a Argentina los 18-Sankirtaneros?

Los sankirtanesro piensan regresar para la Argentina el dia 2 de Enero y en el viaje de vuelta algunos se quedan en Cordoba y San Luis  visitando a familiares y descanzando, despues cerca del 8 o 9 de enero llegarn a Buenos Aires todos, ya que es el mes donde el templo siempre se vacia para visitar seres queridos o descanzar un poco.

Mi propuesta es, que de venir Usted a Argentina  y en el templo esten los devotos para recibirlo y asistir a sus clases lo mejor seria que viniese despues de su visita a Chile. A la vez no entiendo si esta confirmado su Vyasa Puja en Chile o si lo esta dejando abiero, como una posibilidad para acerlo tambien aqui en Argentina, Ahi su fecha en Argentina Cambiaria y tambien su llegada a Chile, de ser asi nosostros ya deberiamos comenzar con la organizacion.

A Su servicio Adi Yajña Das

HpS - ASA -  Desculpa la demurra responder, pero puede ver la presion de nuestras viajes. En primero lugar es el diagolo con los psicologos de Peru. Vamos a ver como adelanta esta esfuerza.  Pero antes de todo es Jara y Mrtyu. Nuestra cuerpo, ojos, todo es desintegrando. No tenemos mucho mas tiempo en es zona.

Muy claro su communicacion. Otras cosas fijados:

Necesitamos noticias de Vrsabhanu y Ambaris Das si vamos a presentar algo en Cordoba con psycologos.

Symposium de Educacion, fin de Enero en Chile (Esperamos noticia de ellos del evento y fecha.

ILS en India​ como 28 Febrero hasta 4 Marzo. Llegar a India como una semana antes (21 Febrero)

Pienso V'puja no esta fijado. Ya depende en el calendario de viajes mas detallado.

Pero que hace Vd hasta Deciembre?
