HpS - ASA   -  Jaya!    AGTSP   Paoho   We are trying to do so many things.   We have to keep a few priorities in line.  We get our rounds done early.  We write each morning, SB each morning and then we are doing this Blog each day in the morning (the end of our working day (we work from 1AM - 9AM)).  Then we gradually see what other things we can add in.  Is very nice.  This is going from Vaidhi bhakti to prema bhakti!

HpS - Jaya!   AGTSP    paoho.       Please keep sending news of your travels.    Hanuman knew that one day he would meet his eternal master and that finally happened when met Rama and Laksman when they came to Rsi Mukhya mountain looking for Sita!            So, please follow the principles with enthusiadm and soon Krsna will reveal to you your eternal service!!!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my most humble obeisance 

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, I will write express myself shortly to try not stealing your time. For the experiences of the last years we want to work again in the university Santa María (UFSTM), where the last year we make "Hamlet and Arjuna". We are working with the same people so maybe we can do:

• The Aleph v/s the Sri Bhagavatam:  Comparative literature, taking a short story of Jorge Luis Borges that goes around a manifestation of the all universe and all the times in just one moment and in just one place, called the Aleph. This is like the display of de Virat rupa, seen from Mother Yasodas`s perspectives in the 8º pastime of the Krishna`s Books, Vision of the universal form.
• Light of the bhagavatam: Make a presentation of the pictures (we can print your favorites) and do a simposium about one of the hot topics, that we can previously discuss. 

Also we can prepare an interfaith dialogue at the Catholic University of Valparaiso (PUCV) with a Chilean theology doctor about an specific topic. This doctor has work on his investigation for his degree in making links between hinduism and Christianity, specifically between the school of Yogananda Paramahamsa. This week I will present your curriculum so we can later see which topic discuss (maybe: ideal education).

We hope that our English is good for you, and our ideas satisfy you, pleace tell us wich is the best topics? so we can start every preparation for the programs that you prefer. 
Following 4 principles for a month an a have and chanting 16 rounds.

Your servant, Ignacio

P.S. I couldn´t send the file of "The Aleph" so here is a link where you can read it.

 http://www.phinnweb.org/links/literature/borges/aleph.html

HpS - ASA -  San Ignacio!    Thank you for the letter.    Very nice to hear from you.  We are in Trujillo.  Like 55 books distributed by Bhakta Arturo sola en la universidad las night and 25 by all of us at the table!!!     We will read the Aleph.

We can use the same idea en Peru also it sounds like it might be good.   First we have to read the Aleph.  Other from Borges is the "Library".  That seems very clearly description of the limits of Mental Speculation, impersonal Jnana.

What about Carlos Bustmantes and his school in Valparaiso?    First we get the people and then we pick the topic, from LOB!!!       Also opcioin is Light of the Bhagavatam and the Phaedo of Socrates or the commentary of St. Bernard on the Song of Solomon!  We read the Aleph now!

What about Carlos???

PANHR

Mi estimado Gurudeva por favor reciba usted mis reverencias, estoy en una cabina en el centro de Chosica, lluvia intensa y muchos huaycos han caído anoche y Chosica es un caos de polvo y desvíos de tráfico. Aho Adidhaivica Klesha y adibhautica Klesha.

ASA -  TlgaSP   Pfanrh   Estamos oyendo de Patraka Das yo pienso de estas catastrofias!   Krsna esta en panico que podemos volver a El!!

Estuvimos, el Viernes, temprano en el Templo, imposible comunicarnos por Webex, señal de internet muy débil en el templo, pero entre nosotros conversamos el Capitulo 4, estuvimos presentes: P Vamsi Govinda quien dirigió la reunión, P Tattva-vit,. M Gaura Gadadhara y M Rohini.

Pudimos reforzar el texto de la semana, revisar la guía de estudios, y conversamos sobre algunos detalles necesarios en nuestras reuniones, como el recapitular la línea histórica del contenido de los capítulos anteriores.

Muchas preguntas para usted de nosotros, mi estimado Gurudeva..

Aquí algunas:

Texto 9-10 ¿Maitreya Muni después de escuchar lo que el Señor le dijo a Uddhava se convirtió en devoto puro?

HpS -  Ummmf!   Pienso que no.   Puede apreciar la necesidad entrar en un relacion personal con Krsna.   Cuando Vidua estaba preguntando de lo que estaba oyendo de Krsna mientras El estaba hablando con Uddhava por Vidura tiene que (kirtanam) explicar lo que esta (sravanam) oyendo.  Conoce Vd que esta causa nosotros fijar el oido en la inteligencia. Posible llegando a prema bhakti en esta puntos!!

Texto 20: ¿Entonces fue la filosofia mayavada de Sripada Sankaracarya útil en ese momento, por el budismo; es esta superior al budismo?

HpS - Si, El Buddhismo es nihlismo, no hay un realidad.  De Sankara es monista, hay un realidad, pero no estamos identificado is tiene aspectos, rasgos!

Texto 31: ¿en la etapa suddha-sattva o vasudeva la entidad es jiva mukta es esto igual que ser un gosvami (NOI1)?    Pienso es bastante adelante de solamente ser un Goswami. Casi a nivel de Bhava, no?

Texto 35: ¿En base a que Vidura entendió que el Señor se acordó de él?  No esta mencionada en la description del eventos en el capitulo, no?   Pero la descripcion solamente es general.  Dice: Krsna explico de cosas mas intimos a Uddhava, pero no da los detalles.  Entonces, entre estas detalles, puede ser la menciona de Vidura!

Próxima semana nuestra Revisión y Evaluación.

Esperando se encuentre usted bien, en compañia de los devotos, allá en Ferreñafe al norte del Perú. Hare Krsna Rama, estimado Gurudeva.

En servicio

Rohini dd

HpS - Jaya!       Buscamos Vds. en internet   Ayer, viernes tambien, pero no nos encontramos!!!         Adelantamos.   Proxima viernes, claro estamos presente a las 10AM!          Y lunes, 23rd Estamos en reunion de Nimsar!     Pienso cada uno de nostros tiene que prepara y ofrecer un curso individual o con otros para los devotos y el publico de NIMSAR.    Fotografia espiritual, NOD Parte Dos.

hare krsna ,AGTSP, PAMHO..

this is regarding two instructions of yours

1. best effort for japa yajna then sankirtana has life

2. internal programme is more important than external program.

...questions ...

1. why we see many devotees focussing on external program?

ASA - AGTSP    paoho...   Because they like it.   Because they are on the level of Karma-yoga, not dhyana or jnana-yoga. That's our opinion. Basic thing is focus on something sublime and do it.    How'r Prabhupuda says that Sankirtana is the most important service and Japa is the most essential service.   Jaya! 

2. why did Srila Prabhupada always focussed on fulfilling orders of Printing books and preaching books [ it seem to be focussiong on external program].

ASA - Yet, can we say he was focused that way if we look at this books. He is living there now as always.   First verse is vaco-vegam....    External, middle and internal are all there!    Serve Krsna with body, mind and words!

3. we are not able to understand the priorities of external progam and internal program.. devotees stretch themselves so much for external program that their health suffers and then their internal program suffers.

ASA - Acharya gives balance.   At least 16 rounds/day, regular morning and evenning program and Karma yoga during the day.  Do whatever you can do for Krsna nicely, not dog-hard!

4. Bg 4.34 that one should serve spiritual master then ask question, is this service sadhana or sankirtana or vapu?

ASA - It is just asking questions to remove distress, at first.

5. even in ISK there are awards like book distributor of the year , best temple of the year etc... are not these focussing on external programme ?

ASA - Yes, but there is also "BG 10-10-11" in ISKCON also.  Life Members who eat chicken and Sannyasis who don't eat Karmi bread!    We must find our position and join the fight.  Some are elefants, some are crocodiles.

aspiring to be disciplined by you.

ASA -  SO nice to hear from you!      Can you please cal Dr. Samaresh after 9.30PM if you don't hear from him every day?   Please keep accounts of your NIOS expenses!!
