Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

Please accept my bows

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

and all glories to you!

I wish your health is well, thank you very much for giving us your constant and merciful association, we happily try to follow it at our own pace. 🦆🦆🦆

I write for 3 topics:

1- NOI VERSES ppt: During a class you suggested that maybe someone could translate it, I mentioned it to mother Natyelli and she encouraged me to do it (I just checked) here the file to download:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tAP55fZcUb8hrS59NbFFpuLwoprvVZPj/view?usp=drivesdk

ASA - Thank you!!! It is posted in the Archives at www.JayaRama.US/archives/tpp-verses-esp.pptx!

You had "ttp" but it is "tpp"! 😎

When I reviewed it I noted the following:

- Slide 3 cites BG 7.15, apparently there is an error because it is verse BG 17.15

-Slide 12 (in original in English) is repeated with 11

ASA - In our copy on our LapTop Slide 13 is repeat of 12. We erased 13 and later will post new version.

2 - VIPLAVAH: Gurudeva read the invitation from the Ministry of Education to receive articles on early childhood education. I would like to ask you if you think it appropriate that "Nurturing Vaisnavas" write an article about the work we are doing? If that's okay with you, I think we could write an article. Our work slogan last year was precisely "It takes a people to educate a child" ... we carry out various activities in this regard, perhaps it is useful to share them.

Perhaps we could write an article entitled "Gurukula in modern times: parents like Gurus seeking support" there we could describe; the strategic supports that are required from our perspective, the importance of joining efforts and describing the proposal of our project. (Crecer Vaisnava makes magazines for parents, workbooks for children, videos, virtual books, accompaniment for parents, among other things ...)

ASA - It is too late for articles for this issue, but we can publish in next issue. Write it like a college level paper. Can still be personal, but something that would be accepted in a college class.

If it seems good to you, we could try it.

ASA - Yes!!

On the other hand, I invited to write to mother Janaki DD from Chile, who has had a home education program for approximately 3 or 4 years, she promised to try.

3- My sister Pati-prana DD asked me to send these flowers to Lord Nrsimhadeva. ☺️

Dear Guru Maharaja, I pay attention to your instructions. Eternally grateful to you ... thank you for showing me the meaning of life.

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

I want to show you a draft of a Gurukula project I have. I would appreciate a lot if you could give me a feedback, opinion, advice or perspective of it.

asa - ha! ha! hare! monkey and piggy advice! buy a bicycle for everyone.

Teaching at University showed me that It is better to focus in education of children from 10 to 17 years old. They are mature enough to manifest their nature/varna, and young enough to modify their character.

asa - Jaya!

I think in a school as a complement to the national educational system, and for everybody, not only Iskcon children. With a central department which manifests everything, and schools everywhere.

asa - functional. we never went to the moon, women are less intelligent, black people are sinful, women like men who are expert a rape, God is a very large red Hog with a big club, carbon dating is wrong, people did live to be 1000 years, the sun is closer to the earth than the moon. After school education!!! 😎 Srila Prabhupada left a little work for us.

Please, devotees with experience in the educational field (Purnamasi dd, Radhika Raman, Laksman Agraja, Gandharva, Abhiram Takhur Prabhus, etc) also your input is welcome.

This is the link to download a pitch of the project. (if you can not download it, please tell me where I can send it)

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada,

Quiero mostrarle un borrador de un proyecto de Gurukula que tengo. Le agradecería mucho si pudiera darme su aporte, opinión, consejo o perspectiva.

La enseñanza en la Universidad me mostró que es mejor centrarse en la educación de niños de 10 a 17 años. Son lo suficientemente maduros para manifestar su naturaleza / varna, y lo suficientemente jóvenes como para modificar su carácter.

Pienso en una escuela como complemento del sistema educativo nacional, y para todos, no solo para los niños de Iskcon. Con un departamento central que manifiesta todo, y escuelas en todas partes.

Por favor, devotos con experiencia en el campo educativo (Purnamasi dd, Radhika Raman, Laksman Agraja, Gandharva, Abhiram Takhur Prabhus, etc.) también sus comentarios son bienvenidos.

Este es el enlace para descargar una presentación del proyecto. (si no puede hacerlo, por favor indicar donde podemos enviarlo)

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!! Happy Birthday to you also! When is the anniversary of the birth of your current body??? Not in our records!!! What year? May 1520? Are you a grand yogini?????

Hare Krsna Gurudev, please accept my humble obeisances ____o_

All glories to Srila Prabhupada🌷

All glories to you🌼

Because of you, I begin to understand Srila Prabhupada's books. I remember hearing your classes for the first time and feeling how everything became to have sense and depth meaning.

Because of your effort to keep us busy in Krishna consciousness, to constantly inspire us, to be so exemplary and transparent is reason that I can make some advance in spiritual life.

Your words guide me through this vast philosophy, in which I would be lost if it weren't for the perspective you show us.

The power of your realizations give strength to my faith.

You are a living proof that this process is genuine and works. Your unconditional love, your patience and generosity feed my bhakti creeper, which struggles to grow in the middle of so many weeds.

I want to offer you my existence, I want to leave all selfishness, illusion and obstacles to be a useful particle in this great Sankirtan movement.

🌼

P/D: Happy Birthday!!

HpS - Thank you. Trying to answer all the letters!! Thank you, but 90% of our potency is just the mercy of Srila Prabhupada to do something with bad tools! AgtSP~~~ You explain things in your circle now! "Yare dekha tare kaha..."

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada,

Todas las glorias a Usted.

Gracias a usted es que pude comenzar a entender los libros de Srila Prabhupada. Recuerdo escuchar sus primeras clases y sentir como todo cobraba sentido y mayor profundidad. 

Gracias a su esfuerzo en mantenernos ocupados, en constantemente inspirarnos, en ser tan ejemplar y transparente, que yo puedo hacer algún avance. 

Sus palabras me van guiando en medio de esta filosofía tan vasta, en la cual estaría perdida si no fuera por la perspectiva que usted nos muestra. 

La potencia de sus realizaciones fortalecen mi fe.

Usted es la prueba viviente de que este proceso es genuino y funciona. Su amor incondicional, su paciencia y generosidad alimentan mi planta del bhakti, que lucha por crecer en medio de tantas malas hierbas.

Quiero ofrendarle mi existencia, Quiero desprenderme de todo el egoismo, de la ilusion y las trabas para ser una partícula útil en este gran movimiento de Sankirtan.

Su aprendiz de sirviente

Hare Krishna Maharaja!

At the end of this message: proposal of new text about Dr. Samaresh biography for Wikipedia.

Thank you very much for letting me try to be an instrument of our Eternal Lord.

I just wanna be your servant,

Carlos.

HpS - ASA --- Thank you for the patience to deal with our sincere but slow moving efforts. Thank you. Sent your the very nice PDF of the award ceremony for Professor and the accompanying bio-data. If you integrate that with this information, especially citing a source besides NIOS, then it should pass the Wiki-police, no?
