Dr. Little's Semester Schedule Just in Case

02/15/16 Haribol Guru Maharaja! dandavata and pranams Jaya Sri Advaita Acharya! Jaya Sri Guru and Gauranga 1. Am aware you have said you will not be visiting No. Ca this year. However, since I have been trying to develop a contact with Dr. Little for you, and since it was just coming together when I became aware you would not be able to visit, I am going to give you the information anyway just in case you change your mind or it is useful information for some other time. The reason I could not bring the pieces together sooner is because he was in India gathering information for a *paper he is writing during the Summer. Paper is titled: Early Vaishnava Iconography. He has invited you to attend any of his classes and shows interest in connecting with you. So here is the info. If you want his personal e-mail address, just let me know. I'll text it or include it in the envelop with the monthly donation as I don't want to put it in the blog. I promised him I would respect his privacy as he is quite well known. UC Berkeley: Thursdays 3-6pm Course: CJ Jung & Joseph Campbel Ends: 04/28/16 Sac State: Mondays 6-9pm Course: History of Buddhism Ends 04/28/16 UC Davis: Fall Semester (ends?) Art History, one on Hindu Temples including excellent coverage re. Vaishnava temples including Jagannath Puri, Sri Rangam and Srivillipatur to name a few. Sac State: Fall Semester (ends) Asian Art & Mythology Summer School: Not teaching Summer school 2016 due to above mentioned paper*. I have been trying to get a series of regular, once-a-month home programs started for ISKON Sac. First one was at our house in late Jan. I mentioned it in my last letter post. A second was held at Shashi's house last Sunday. A third will be held in March; in April we will host another here. Theme is "Deepening Our Bhakti Creepers." Program consists of 1. Group chanting of Maha Mantra (not in unison) 2. Chanting of most of Brahma Samhita 3. Arati, 4. extensive kirtan 5. personal sharing among devotees 6. light prasadam At the program held Sun. past, some members of the Folsom group attended and I am hoping to bring (by Krsna's mercy) more and more of those devotees into the home programs. At any rate, it is possible you could also speak at that group next time a visit works for your schedule. Dr. Little has asked me to invite him to the home program at our house in April. Please keep this in your merciful prayers. May all your preaching endeavors fulfill your longing to serve God and Guru! Your Useless Servant, Kalindi Devi Dasi HPS - Yes, seems we will only be able to talk with him by phone when we get back to USA. That can be very productive also. Keep preaching to him and everyone you meet. Will we see you in Boise? Great vacation site. We lost your Gopinatha letter!

Urgente Reporte de AKSA "Kirtan Tour Inspiración" Arequipa - Cusco/Perú

9 years, 8 months ago by anandamayadas in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports
Dear Gurudeva. TLAGASP! pamhr. El "Kirtan Tour" en Arequipa estuvo extatico. Los devotos nos trataron muy bien especialmente Madre Ramalila y familia. Ahora estamos en Cusco (AKSA) hace un par de días. Hoy vamos a empezar los programas del KirtanTour. Estamos hablando en los seminarios y clases que nos invitaron dar, acerca de la importancia de cantar el Santo Nombre, pero Gurudeva, sólo estamos refugiandonos en su misericordia, para volvernos un poco elocuentes. Gurudeva aquí tenemos un tío materno, que vino hace un tiempo a poner unos negocios y le ha ido muy bien. Cuando lo visitamos nos propuso darnos un departamento sin costo para poder quedarnos, ya que Sita puede estudiar en la escuela de Bellas Artes, que es muy considerada a nivel nacional. Pienso que los cuatro podemos tener muchas más oportunidades de prédica y laborales aquí en el Cusco en comparación con Lima. Nosotros queremos quedarnos y evaluar este año, Usted que opina? tenemos sus bendiciones? Sus aspirantes a sirvientes, AKSA. HpS. AgtSP. No se. It may be good. Talk with devotees who know the local situation, pray to Krsna and you should get good ideas! The central thing is the association not the place, correct? I think whatever you do you will have success.

Report to Dr. Samaresh

9 years, 9 months ago by hps in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Jaya Sri Krsna!


Esteemed Professor et al,
We hope this meets you in the best of spirits and engaged in your humanitarian works meant to save the world. We are in Houston, Texas at our enormous Nila-madhava Dhama complex. We are short of breath and our eyes are failing, so we are having to make very serious decisions about our priorities in life.
The tour of South America was very, very intense and very, very productive. The NIOS projects of 'Psychology and the Sacred' with the National Library of Peru is progressing very systematically. The journal, 'Solaris', will be published March 30th. We have many Abstracts from such internationally acclaimed philosophers such as Claudio Naranjo who is Nobel Candidate for Peace, Beverly Zambieskii, who is co-founder of the Jungian Society of New York, the Philemon Foundation and author of 60-books and your Kalyanakumar. Many of these are also dedicated to joining the Conference in June.

Also we initiate new disciples for Prabhupada and do a lot of individual counseling.
The work with the ISKCON Ministry of Education is very consuming. Similarly, Goloka Education with Rama-giridhari Das.

In short, we are very low on physically energy but doing well with spiritual perspective on how to use it, by Guru-krpa.

How are you!?

We have no news. We tried to call like five times in three days while we were in Chile but could never get through and other times thwarted by the time differences.

Back in the USA for three days thikngs are just as demanding, but we are learning to put severe brakes on things and focus.

We will try, try, try to contact you this morning with Rama-giri-dhari Das at about 9.00AM IST.

We have our tickets to Delhi, Kolkatta and Manipur. After that we are at your disposal.

We will try to call but also look for your mails.
Thank you so much for your kind association....

Hanumatpresaka Swami
