Letters to the editor

ND: I downloaded the file, updated it with your 3 new articles, updated the names and uploaded it. Please, can you check it. I left the old file 170810 there in case I messed something up.

Another thing... Did you and devotee from MOE thought to publish/share the Journal online? Websites like Dandavats, https://news.iskcon.org, GBC website are possible good places.

HpS - Thank you very much. Would you like to become a Member of the Executive Committee of the Ministry of Education?

ND: I would like although I am not sure I fit in there . What is the job description?

HpS - Have to like teaching and learning the Srimad Bhagavatam et al.

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

(Yesterday) we talked about publishing somewhere your Encyclopedia articles. But we did not finished the topic. I would be happy if I can (try) to do that. If you agree, please tell me what and where should be done.

HpS - ASA -- If we have anything to offer we might put it in this encyclopedia format. We could post articles or revisions to articles here in the Blog and if you could then update (changing the name) the file in the ASA Archivesthat would be great. The current file in the Archives is asa-encyclopedia170810.docx. If it is updated on the 15th of September it will become asa-encyclopedia170915.docx.
Might work?
There were already I think two articles that we posted. They are probably in Category B.  Hmmm!    An encyclopedia according to Brown and White et al.  Maybe other would like to submit articles also!

Another thing... Did you and devotee from MOE thought to publish/share the Journal online? Websites like Dandavats, https://news.iskcon.org, GBC website are possible good places.

HpS - Thank you very much. Would you like to become a Member of the Executive Committee of the Ministry of Education?

This poor servant

Panca tattva dasa

HpS - Thank you so much for Jaladutta news. Send us more. Respects to Maharaja and Devaki et al. Seven stages of Bhakti is from first verse of Siksastakam? They seem to match the six levels of Bhakti that Rupa Goswami describes in beginning of BRS: Freedom from distress, harmony... songs by Bh. Vinode Th. based upon Siksastakam, no?

Maybe we go to India again in the Spring?

Jaladutta news!
 

All glories to A.C. Prabhupada Maharaja and Sripada Maharaja

Gouranga Mahaprabhu and Goura Bhakta Vrnda

Guruji Maharaja, Dandavat Pranam!

HpS - ASA -- Please accept our humble obeisances!  Manipuri Samskriti, Ki Jai!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto the Guruji's padmacharan that   we are continuing mangal arati, Narasingha arati, Tulsi arati then Gita path etc. with 5 to 8 matajis and prabhujis. During Krishna Vahana Das of ISKCON Congregation (Publication & Promotions Team) of Mayapur stay in our Mandir he teach us how to do aratis and Nama Japa loudly half of the mala and dansing with mala japa. In my opinion prabhuji's method of practice is physically helpful for all bhaktas. Actually our mandir is not originally established under the guidance of ISKCON. Our ancient Krsna bhaktas started one hour Bhagavat discussion in a week on Sunday only.  Gradually, we new followers of the ancient Krsna bhaktas started Sunday full programme bhajan kirtan, Bhagavat Path, Boogh arati with prasadam and daily bhog arati and sandhya arati.

Next, our plan is to construct a residential area for permanent pujari and some bhaktas for daily mangal arati, Bhagavat Class in the morning and Gita Class in the evening after sandhya arati. It will take some more time but it will be helpful for all bhaktas. Sometimes please inform to Dr. Nandalal who is the President of the Mandir Committee through this mail. I will download and hand over the hard copy.  

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Dr. Nandalal is dentist???   Please tell us a little about him.  We send our respects to him and all the Ancient and New Bhaktas.   Your Temple is like a light in Kali-yuga for Thoubal.

Querido Gurumaharaja 
Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias!
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Alguien que lo admira mucho envía a través de mi esta pregunta.

Quién es el ateo famoso que estudió arduamente hasta llegar a aceptar los argumentos lógicos de la teología, decepcionando a sus seguidores en el ateísmo??

ASA - Anthony Flew: https://strangenotions.com/flew/

ASDD: Respecto a mis servicios,  la obra "El Testigo Divino" la historia de Sakshi Gopal,  fue invitado a Cueramaro para Vyasa-Puja de SS. Bhaktibhusana Swami y recientemente fue presentada para Vyasa-Puja de Srila Prabhupada en el templo  y llevamos otra obra a  Tulancingo para Janmastami.

HpS - Por que no telvision nacional de Mexico.  Pienso la gente le gustaria much, cuentas relilgioso de la India!
Seguimos como pujari 2 días por semana. 

Dudas 
1-Es necesario algún ritual previo o procedimiento especial para el actor que protagoniza a Krsna?

HpS - No, listo actuar un poco loco. 

2- He leído de Srila Prabhupada y SS. Guruprasad Swami recientemente me dijo que las obras de teatro no tienen que intentar entretener al público provocando risas sino conservar y trasmitir la esencia de las sastras.

HpS - Si, pero hay muchas risas (mas que otras cosas) en nuestras Sastras, no?
Hay quienes les parece que los actores antagonistas como Kamsa, Hiranyakasipu etc no deben proyectar tanta maldad en su carácter pues resulta fuerte para el público (vaisnavas o no vaisnavas) y también resulta cansado para el actor.

HpS - Si, vamos a presentar como bueno es la vida espiritual and que mal la material, pero enfasis en el bueno. Canto cinco es fuerte, pero es Canto cinco. Canto 1-2 son para el publico. 
Nos puede dar algún consejo por favor ? 

Disculpe nuestras ofensas por favor. 
Muchísimas gracias por Su misericordiosa atención.
Vuestra eterna servidora 
Asta Sakhi dd. 

HpS - Puede ver com Prabhupada introduzca Radharani en el Prefacio de Upadesamrta. Esta alla, pero solamente en una manera general. Tiene que juzgar el publico. Por eso hay tan muchos ejemplos de predica en el CC, SB y Prabhupada lilamrta. Prabhupada le gust mucho la drama.  Quiere establecer siempre como un elemento de la predica.

Drama - y - Science!   Tien un clip, un minuto en YOutube??

Hare Krishna,
Thank you so very much for this informative, interesting, and enlivening report. I would happy if everyone I worked with gave such nice reports on a regular basis.

You have such dedication to education, in bringing Krishna Consciousness to both the academic world and to the devotees at large. Srila Prabhupada often spoke of our mission as being an educational one, and you have taken these instructions to heart, and fulfilling them.

I am no one to offer blessings, but Srila Prabhupada will certainly bless your work.

Thanks again. 
Your servant,
Tamohara das

PS.  BTW - if your are doing work in the area of Psychology, please keep me in mind. I have a keen interest in this area, and in fact, am preparing to do some writing on the intersection of Psychological principles and Krsna Consciousness.

HpS - 

The best community we have encountered so far are the Jungians. Prabhupada in Spiritual Dialectialism said that amongst all the Western philosophers Jung had the most sense. Have you read his auto-biography?
Also, Improvisational Theater is big area for Psychology and KC, no?

Thank you.
