Regional Representation Report 20 (gokulananda)
Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva
PAOHO AGTSP!
I am writing to tell you that last Thursday I had a very interesting conversation with Param Padam das, about educational issues in general and the Regional Representation for Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, in particular. I told him, in general terms, what are the functions of the Regional Representative and he told me that he has been performing this service in recent years in his country, Chile and Uruguay. I also brought up your idea of appointing Nara Narayana Rsi das as the Representative and he found it interesting. In that sense, I commented to him that since the service is so demanding, it would be appropriate to assemble a team of devotees who work under his supervision, including Nara Narayana Rsi das. I would like to know your opinion about it Gurumaharaja, so that I can communicate it to the Executive Secretary or, otherwise, find another alternative.
Your servant
Gandharva das
HpS - ASA --- AgtSP. Just worked for 30-minutes to write a letter to Tapan-misra Das, and copy to you, of a draft of the letter from him, Executive Director MOE, to the Latin American Regional GBC. Sripad Virabahu Das is really pushing, begging to get this done.
The letter addresses the points you bring up here. We are hoping EVERYONE will help develop this Regional Rep system and one person to act as a Zonal Rep. It is really an austerity, so maybe people can serve for one or two etc. years and then someone else can take over.
I think Param-padam Das et al would be very good, but.... at this point it seems we have to work on our a practical relationship with the RGBC. I suggested something as simple as an Annual Report to the RGBC about what is happening to start with, but if the Brahmana do their work then the RGBC will be inspired to give facility and make demands for more educational programs.
O.K.??
