Letters to the editor

AGTSP

paoho.   Here we are in the Restaurant of the Barcelona, ISKCON, Temple at 6.56AM. Brother Ass is little distressed in and lungs and eyes, but pretty good for a 67-year old ass.
The Book Release and Symposium on Education is mostly finished. We just totaled the expenses as best we could and it was $4,500. Details soon.
Now we are arranging to pay for the printing and shipping.

Madrid visit, for six days, was intense and productive. We found the last available copy of "Journey to the West" in excellent, scholarly, translation in Spanish by Editorial Siruela and are now carrying it to Migule Polo in Peru. We have 15-Bharata-samskrtis with us, and went on Hari-nama Sankirtan for two hours.

Of course, MANY meetings with friends and Disciples and classes on NOI etc.

Now, after super-fast train from Madrid to Barcelona. Suffered alot because was tired and could not lie down.
O.K.   Time for class.   Kapi Dhvaja has to go.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.      Are Srila Prabhupada's books going out?   Are the SB classes and Japa going on???

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Somehow I didn't send this letter for long long time as I started to write it in December.

> Srinivasa Das was looking at a Muslim site and they were talking about the confused Hindus and the were citing vedabase.com again and again as their source of True Hindu beliefs!

Super! In fact that is one of the goal of the project to become accepted by scholars as good resource for research and references.

There are already few universities which uses vedabase.com as recourse for their teachings.

> What about the Index and User Bookmarks etc?

Main engine is ready now. We started to synchronize languages by paragraph. As soon all books which are in current version will be done we will switch to new system. And quickly after that categorization will be there.

There is also initiative to import Indian languages. Currently Tamil, Hindi, Bengali and Malayalam are in progress.
Yesterday (6th May) we got licence for TamilOCR software we just bought, so devotees will be able to scan and convert whole Srimad Bhagavatam in Tamil language.

> Especially necessary is an Introduction page: 
> 1) How to use the Vedabase technically, and 2) How to use understand the priority and how to read the books.

Yes! Frontpage is going to be refactored with good structure, short info about site with link to documentation 1) and 2), block with latest news (added book, new feature, other news...). All this will be in upcoming version. I am quite busy with service for TOVP (Temple of Vedic Planetarium), but I think it is doable to launch new version for celebration of 50 years of Srila Prabhupada's leave to US.

Part of 1) should also include short videos which will show how to use different features.

I have read this on jayarama.us (some time ago): "VEDABASE.COM: We want to help with an Introduction that will organize the Visitor’s reading."

Would you like to write it? If you will have time and energy we could speak about it in Delhi.

> Definitely should be big part of the ministry of education, no???  Your ideas now???

Yes. Everybody is welcome to use it. As far as I know website is much used for online education of part of Mayapur Institute, Bhaktivedanta College, ... Also if there are special requirements for education institutes/groups I may be able to help by adding new features or optimizing current ones.

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha Das

HpS - AGTSP Thank you for this Christmas letter!   We can show you one idea for an "Introduction to Vedabase.com". Now we are in Spain and then Radhadesa, then 4-weeks in Nashville, so we should be able to send ideas then.

Hare Krishna Gurudev!  ^-^ AGTSP PAMO

Chanting  a bit more and being more happy.Reading teachings of lord caitanya.

Having some realizations:

After 5 days of  movie-like rain, sun rose ( in my heart too) but not fully/enough yet, need to construir moreKC samskaras ... I Feel my faith is developing more and more ,thank Govinda, and this mantra is so Powerful that I can't handle it, but it rocks everytime.
While was doing a night japa walk ysterdy Realized how I want to be the enjoyer most of the time, but at the end I'm spiritually the enjoyed and can't change it, that was like a trigger clicking in my mind...

Feeling pleased with KRishna and his devotees, we have a good connection and a nice ashrama here at sydney, these young guys are so fired up and inspiring also.
living w the world 2nd book distributor. 
Krishna showing opportunitties to preach.
 

Waking up a bit earlier these days, so they are a bit more successful+peaceful. Heard that authorities will check everyone;s sadhana(those who are not orange) which is good though.

Getting ready 4 my piano auditions next friday to see if they accept me as a music student so i can start studying :)

Wondering about initiation, few people asked me whether I'm or not initiated which leads one to desire/think/imagine how that feels, i guess it must be very wonderful.

My friend the world 2nd book distributor getting initiated on th 3rd next month, I'm so happy 4 him such a mahatma !

I pray to Prabhupada for always remembering Krishna never forget him, in the same way I beg 4 your blessings Maharaja to always remember + glorify you and Krishna with love and with more tongues + ears if possible, so I can remain always absorbed and ecstatic . 
Sorry for my Spiritual mistakes and my Informality.

Hare Krishna
