BI-ANNUAL GBC REPORT
Hanumatpresaka Swami - Anjana Suta Academy

Esteemed Secretary, GBC, Tamohara Das,
As per our agreement, confirmed with a hearty handshake in Mayapura about three years ago, we here-with submit our Bi-annual GBC report for "Anjana Suta Academy" a tiny but sap filled branch of the great ISKCON tree.

Since last Gaura-purnima we have done extensive work with the Ministry of Education with Sesa Das, Rama-giridhari Das and others and very powerful programs in South America. Before all we have followed four-principles strictly and chanted 16-enthusiastic rounds daily, minimum. We have a lot room for improvement in our service attitude but by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and the Vaisnavas we are slowly progressing.

With the Ministry we organized the 'Fourth Annual Symposium on Education with ISKCON' in Seattle that had as its result, among other wonderful things, the formation of a Ministry Journal, 'Viplavah', which we shall send to you soon.

In South America, through our NIOS, Tennessee, and in co-operation with two National Libraries and several first class cultual organizations we presented: Second Symposium on Psychology and the Sacred, Hamlet and Arjuna, Jung and the Bhagavata. See youtube.com and search for "II psychology and the sacred" for potent clip of the event in Peru. We were in 26-airports from 1st June - 1st August.

Now with NIOS we are looking to applying for a $125,000 grant for an exploratory film, 'ART & THE SACRED: A Pligrims Progress".

This is just a quick summary knowing you are very busy but we are certainly anxious if we can be of any more detailed use to you and get your mercy for our Sankirtan in any way.

Your humble servants,
Hanumatpresaka Swami, Anjana Suta Academy.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP PAMHO

I hope U are fine. Thank U for always enlighten us !!!

We went to Chosik for Radhastami. We had in our heart your instruction." Make Radhastami useful"

I arrived and on pujari's door there were listed all the devotees who were supposed to make all the services.. My name was not there, but anyway I entered with the intention of at least wash the parafernalia. As soon as I entered devotees engaged me in service.. artik at 4:30pm, sandhya artik, abhishek, we dressed the deities on their pijamas... and of course we washed the dishes..

Palika arrived.. yugala all our friends ... I stayed in chosik until the other day in Kanupandit's house along with yugala.

One devotee donated a new vehicle for Productos Naturales Govinda

It was a great festival

Hope U enjoy the pictures

Thank U very much

See U in FMP

Your eternal servant

HpS-ASA  --  AgtSP..  Paoho..  How many people was Radharani able to reach because all of Her friends put Her in the spotlight?   She is in great distress in separation from Krsna. She wants to see that thousands of people are visiting Krsna's temple. She wants to enthuse the Bhakti in their hearts. A little help on Radhastami and She can reach more and more.
Thank you.

Vandiye Sri Pada-padma Vrsabahnu nandini.

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva

Please, accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

By order of Karuna Krsna prabhu I send you this report commenting that we have had our first meeting with him and Yugala Kisora ​​dd. to address the education issues for the temple of Chosica. Here the details:

• At the moment, the designation of prabhu Karuna Krsna as national education coordinator has not been made so we are only working at ISKCON Chosica level. In that sense, the temple administration and its educational program are independent of ISKCON Lima.
• The first topic that has been discussed has been the Sunday school. At the moment it is not working because the parents are not taking the children to the temple. Since a few weeks, no free prasadam is being distributed, so many families are going to the temple after lunch, at best. Some possibilities are being considered such as giving free prasadam to children or making some adaptations to activities to make them more attractive to children and their parents.
• On the other hand, we are looking for some ways to improve existing educational programs, for this we have to make an evaluation and convince current teachers to improve a higher educational standard as necessary. Some pedagogical techniques can be included, among them is considered the need to prepare a workbook for students and another for teachers, so that the contents are better structured than at present. 
  HpS ASA -  What are the "existing programs"?
• It is intended to extend the educational concept to a model that not only cultivates the academic (sastrical), but also formative (character and behavior) aspects. To do this, we are working with the Danavir Swami manual, Fortunate Souls, which I was asked to summarize. Then we will see how this content is included in existing courses or how it is articulated as an independent course.
• Finally, a small temple education committee has been set up as follows: Karuna Krsna dasa (program director), Gandharva dasa (pedagogical advisor / secretary), Yugala Kisora ​​dd. (Educational promoter). For the moment, we will be meeting once a month. We will be reporting on our progress with the same frequency Gurumaharaja.

Your servant

Gandharva dasa

HpS - Hare Krsna!   AGTSP   paoho.   Thank you for the news. I see YOUR educational report next. I think the Chosica development depends very much on your personal development. If it is exciting, so will be the Chosica program.

Please offer our humble obeisances to KKD!  and YKD!  from HpS-ASA.  O.K.???

Ok , the problem really seems to be in Radhanath Swami: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QatUU7XLxco this is girl who was abused by Bhavananda........and then Radhanath Swami has also raped people according to this documentary. This is heavy.  https://lastingimpression.info/mayavadinol_explained/ This is good slovenian page. Hanuman ki jay!! I knew about Bhakti Bhringa Swami not being pure at all:  https://lastingimpression.info/king_of_kirtan/

Hare Krishna!!!!! Hare Rama, may Radha be always on your side, and maybe mine too.

ASA - Didn't have chance to follow the links, but I know they said that Hansadutta Swami was sitting on the Vyasa-asana in the Sunday Feast in Berkeley in cowboy boots and shoot guns, but I was there. He didn't do that, so would have to see lot of detail to get exact decision about someone's moral character.
ISKCON is very big. I fight for it's purity as an institution, which is not going to be perfect; I have my friends like you, Namacharya, Abhirama, Karuna krsna, Nitya-kishori ...........

And I have my own personal relationship with Srila Prabhupada. We are little fish, sh, sh, sh, in the big ocean of ISKCON.
.. not discounting criticism of our leaders, just putting it to the microscope.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

ASA - Hare Krsna/ Hare Rama

    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, i am in talk with a NGO for your preaching program. Trying to get details
    like - how it could be useful for you & ISKCON Education Ministry.

    As the talk is in very initial stage so would keep you posted as we get details.

    Thank you so much.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

ASA - We just sent the suggestions for travel and visiting dates. Very late, but that's the best we rate. Where are Krsna, where are the Gopis, where is Vraja dhama?  We must all talk to people who can push these songs along.

Subject: Swami in a Strange Land

My dear Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaja,

Please accept my fond obeisances at your feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thank you so much for your learned and (dare I say it) entertaining classes on E-sanga! They're a joy to listen to. Spiritual education can be fun!

Our dear Godbrother Yogesvara Prabhu asked me if I knew of a highly qualified devotee translator who could render "Swami in a Strange Land" into Spanish.

Yogesvara Prabhu is willing and able to pay for that service. The fee is negotiable.

Because of your extensive travels in the Spanish-speaking world, I wanted to reach out to see if you knew anyone who might be qualified and interested in doing this work.

If anyone comes to mind, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Your servant and friend,

HpS - ASA --- Sr. Jaya-jagadisha Das,

It is always very delightful to hear from you. I hope we can be more closely involved in Sankirtan as it develops. I will post your letter on our Blog. Yes, we have some very qualified speakers, narrators, in the Spanish world. Have you sent this letter to any other Latin American Dudes?   We can post it to the Latin American GBC forum which is quite active.
