YAS,

SM DD

HpS - ASA --- AgtSP. Thank you. We hope you get partners for these plans, and your plans develop in terms of the Hollywood Directors, or PhD mentors et all that you get.

First, let us know what are the parameters for the PhD recommendation letter.

Hare Krsna Maharaj! And welcome back to Tennessee area, Hari Bol!

Please accept my humble obeisances 🙏

All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga,

All glories to Srila Prabhupad 🙏

It was nice to have your association at Nrsimhadev Caturdasi program Saturday 🙏 Pravine Prabhu was real happy to meet you.

HpS = We felt bad that there was not so much time to associate more with devotees, especially you.

I'm doing some book distribution and meeting people who are interested in murfreesboro area, also in Nashville some young people have started chanting. They visited Murari Sevaka with me a number of times.

ASA - Maybe we can visit Murari with you also.

Yes, Maharaj, so the last letter I mentioned at Murari Sevaka there is Mitravinda Mataji and her three daughters who stay at Murari Sevaka.

Jvarajit Prabhu is a Prabhupad disciple who visits and helps them with cooking for the deities each week also.

Mitravinda Mataji was asking if you would like to visit Nitai Gauracandra's temple sometime, Murari Sevaka. I could take you with Pravine Prabhu also on a weekend if you would like. If you wanted to give a class or just visit possibly, maybe our murfreesboro devotees could join too?

HpS - As we said, it seems like a possibility, but right now we are just getting this ashrama in The Boro going. It is doing pretty well.

What dates would be good for others?

These are just a few thoughts, just trying to serve Krsna's devotees. Hare Krsna Maharaj 🙏😊

TlgaSP! Esta carta es vacio!!!!!

Noticas de New Govardhana. Todos!

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva AGTSP PAMHO

You once told me that in a fire we have to rescue the photos before tthe money

JAYA Gurudeva 🌝

HpS - Many people in the fire storm in San Francisco reported making this decision.

Atreya Rsi Das had a house with four others on a hill right in the path of the wall of fire. I asked him if he grabbed his deities or his money.

He said, "Neither one. I grabbed my ass (trasero) and ran!"

Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

In response to your previous letter regarding if I have a dance title from 10+ years of training, I have almost completed Masters in Odissi dance from Gandharva Mahavidhyalaya University, Delhi and 375+ students have completed first level training from the Natyasala Dance Academy that I have founded.

ASA - Perfect. Thanks for the news. Srila Prabhupada pushed B. S. Damodara Swami to finish his PhD for Sankirtan. Of course, others he didn't think it was useful.

Regarding film-making, I have a draft cover letter I’m working on for MFA applications. I will request recommendation letters from your esteemed self, Indian Ambassador of Mexico, Gauranga Pr director of GEV, Purushottam Lila Prabhu, director of Mandi IIT etc.

I met with Yogi in Houston. He did a similar degree and has a lot of Hollywood acting experience. He gave us great advise: need to make a demo reel of 30sec-1min compiling best scenes from all the films I’ve directed and directly email to current directors and producers of Hollywood to slide in.

So while I’m in India, I’m trying to direct a few films with goddess stories and poetic English narrative and beautiful backgrounds and costumes, professional equipment etc. Timeline for this is this is next 3 months.

In the mean time I’m working on applying for adjunct faculty or visiting faculty position with the top dance universities in USA (teach in-person or through my online course ). The letter is drafted and mailing list has been created, just waiting on Mandi IIT to give me a letter of visiting faculty position (this month) to make a stronger case.

Also preparing a dance performance demo reel for this. We have been working hard for past 3 years to develop our own online pedagogy, cirriculum and books for university preaching.

In 2021 we grew 30k followers on our dance academy’s Instagram channel in only 3 months of daily posting 1 min reels or teaching or performing.

Students across the world sign up for the course seeing these ads.

Last year I stopped posting.

I have finally resumed and are collaborating with bigger channels to try to reach 100k followers on Insta this year.

Growing this following helps grow our audience for KC dance students. Our 1 min reels on dance corrections do really well (100k+ views).

I am currently reading the Ramayana, Sundara Kanda section, by Shubhavilas Prabhu and having amazing realizations as to why you chose this section for theme of your entire film series.

It’s so inspiring to tell the story of how the greatest icon for removal of obstacles in service to Lord Rama was inspired.

Audiences can really be uplifted with such inspiring messages. As soon as we finish the book (hoping this month) we will be prepared to begin script draft.

I’m in contact with the Manipuri group and as soon as I have script ready and approved by you, I will begin music composition and choreography with them and then shoot this short film (6month timeline).

We are in regular communication with Indian Mexico Ambassador, spoke with Consulate General of Houston and will soon meet DG ICCR Delhi. I’m hoping between my adjunct faculty position contacts from USA universities and the above diplomatic contacts we may source some funding for this production to tour US and Mexico.

Nevertheless I will fund shooting it as a short film dramatically shot in auditorium with props and maybe outdoors (maybe 30 min) as a prequel for your film series.

Currently 32 hrs of our pre-recorded online Odissi Course of 96hrs is already available and 375 students have enrolled and completed shorter versions of it.

I’m in the process of editing the next set of 10 or 15 hrs of video lectures. Another 10hours has to be shot before Aug. And 28hrs of theory content is being developed (and will be completed in Aug). Once this course is completed, it can be simultaneously taught in all the dance universities who respond to our adjunct faculty position application (maybe this fall semester or in the future) and many university students can spiritually benefit from this spiritual augmentation to their studies.

I have a theory book draft ready (not the workbook I showed to your esteemed self in Houston) that I hope to have each chapter completed (hoping this year, but if the Hanumat Preshaka dance drama does not permit, I’ll have to postpone this to next year).

Maharaj, I had begun choreography to Jay Radha Madhava on your instruction and have been practicing verses of Bhramara gita for past 2 months (50% recording is complete). If it’s possible you can show us the power-point slides dedicated to various ISKCON festivals that we can use as a basis to our productions, will be very grateful. I can then immediately begin mapping choreography to them and send to musicians to record while they work on the Hanumatpreshaka dance drama music composition and recordings (unless we plan on taking them on tour for live music). They charge a base amount so this can be done in same base budget.

These are the projects I’m currently focused on. Please advise if you feel some are missing or some need to be removed or priorities reassigned. Thank you for engaging us in such wonderful service! Each of these are long projects, I hope we can accomplish them soon so we can receive your esteemed feedback!

YAS,

SMDD

HpS - AgtSP.. Paoho. Let us smile and say that we got through about 45% of the projects and then went into scanning mode.

Can you just put this into three sumarry categories.?

¡Hare Krsna!¡ Querido Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte nuestras rendidas reverencias!

Todas las Glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada, y todas las glorias a usted que nos guía en el camino que nuestro Divino Acarya ha establecido. 🙏🌻

Orando porque la salud de su cuerpo sea favorable a su Sankirtan, aun después de esta intensa y larga gira. Escribo como parte del equipo de ASA Carnaval, para enviar nuestro reporte de actividades:

Nuestro objetivo es concentrar, compartir y conservar una buena parte del material que usted ha generado, como una fuente de motivación para involucrar a la audiencia en el trascendental Sankirtan de Srila Prabhupada, el estudio y difusión de los libros de Su Divina Gracia, así como una participación activa en su misión.

Actividades:

* Continuamos con las transmisiones a través de Facebook https://www.facebook.com/asacarnaval

Estamos trabajando para incluir el titulo y descripción de todos los videos, así como separar por listas de reproducción. En esta plataforma también pueden encontrarse fotografías (Compartidas por múltiples devotos), noticias sobre sus programas y algunos enlaces externos.

*Tras nuestra platica en Nueva Govardhana; hemos puesto en marcha el canal de YouTube “ASA Carnaval” https://www.youtube.com/@asacarnaval

Como respuesta a la necesidad de respaldar el contenido y a facilitar el acceso al material por otros medios. Además, YouTube brinda la opción de resaltar momentos clave de las clases o conferencias, lo que nos ayuda en nuestra tarea de indización y consulta.

Este canal pretende ser una especie de biblioteca, un sitio de búsqueda y consulta en el que todos puedan tener acceso a contenido que les resulte útil. En muchos casos el audio o el video no son de muy buena calidad. Sin embargo; entendemos que ASA Audiovisual, proporciona material selecto, con mayor fineza y mejor edición, que atraiga a publico distinguido.

Hasta el momento hemos subido poco material al canal de YouTube; algunas clases, entrevistas y conferencias entre las que destaca el “Foro celebrado en el palacio legislativo en México” en su reciente visita al yatra. (https://youtu.be/We09Rge_FTw) Además de algunas clases en español dadas por Su Divina Gracia. 

Algunos Desafíos:

Sabemos que una de nuestras principales labores es facilitar la localización de temas importantes para la audiencia, por eso estamos trabajando en la indización. Rogamos nos disculpen, estamos avanzando muy lentamente. Adjunto un archivo con un pequeño progreso.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wwrOywwqci1IEkJsz3s055t0bGLIqRbj/edit#gid=543568292 (*En los encabezados de cada columna, encontrará un pequeño triangulo verde, favor de utilizarlo para filtrar el contenido de su interés)

Algunos proyectos:

**Isvari Radha Mataji, sugiere que elaboremos resúmenes de contenido de las clases para facilitar la consulta. Sabemos que es un gran reto, pero mantendremos esta propuesta como una de nuestras metas principales.💓

*Para beneficio de los hispano hablantes, Candra Mukhi Mataji, traducirá uno de los exaltados seminarios que Radhika Raman Prabhu, ha dictado.

*Además estamos trabajando para que pronto podamos compartir, las conferencias que, hace algunos años, usted dicto en el GBC College.

*Nikunja Bihari Prabhu, también colaborará traduciendo algunas clases al español.

*Por otra parte; Parasurama Avatar Prabhu, nos ha dicho que tal vez pueda compartirnos la grabación de la conferencia que recientemente dicto en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Mientras que Govinda Pramodini DD y Rancor Prabhu, también nos han dicho que compartirán material audiovisual de esta maravillosa Gira. En cuanto esto ocurra, lo subiremos para beneficio de todos.

(Muchas gracias a todos por sus incansables esfuerzos🙏🙇)

Gurudeva aprovechamos para rogarle, si es posible, comparta con sus sirvientes las grabaciones de su participación en el seminario de SS Bhakti Raghava Swami.

Muchas gracias por todos sus esfuerzos para involucrarnos en el Sankirtan de Srila Prabhupada, gracias por su ejemplo que nos motiva a intentar ser útiles de algún modo. 

A sus órdenes, su aspirante a sirviente

Hare Krsna! Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept our obeisances!

All glories be to Srila Prabhupada, and all glories to you who guide us on the path that our Divine Acarya has established. 🙏🌻

HpS - We hope others are also guiding!!!

Praying that the health of his body is favorable to his Sankirtan, even after this intense and long tour. I am writing as part of the ASA Carnaval team, to send our activity report:

Our objective is to concentrate, share and preserve a good part of the material that you have generated, as a source of motivation to involve the audience in Srila Prabhupada's transcendental Sankirtan, the study and dissemination of His Divine Grace's books, as well as an active participation in its mission.

HpS - We have done some, but hope we can include material by so many other friends and members of ASA.

Activities:

* We continue with the transmissions through Facebook https://www.facebook.com/asacarnaval

We are working to include the title and description of all the videos, as well as separate them by playlists. On this platform you can also find photographs (Shared by multiple devotees), news about their programs and some external links.

*After our talk in New Govardhana; We have launched the YouTube channel "ASA Carnaval" https://www.youtube.com/@asacarnaval

In response to the need to support content and to facilitate access to material by other means. In addition, YouTube provides the option to highlight key moments of classes or conferences, which helps us in our task of indexing and consultation.

This channel is intended to be a kind of library, a search and consultation site where everyone can access content that is useful to them. In many cases the audio or video is not of very good quality. However; We understand that ASA Audiovisual provides select material, with greater refinement and better editing, that attracts a distinguished public.

So far we have uploaded little material to the YouTube channel; some classes, interviews and conferences among which the "Forum held in the legislative palace in Mexico" stands out on his recent visit to the yatra. (https://youtu.be/We09Rge_FTw) In addition to some classes in Spanish given by the Divine Grace of him.

Some Challenges:

We know that one of our main tasks is to facilitate the location of important topics for the audience, which is why we are working on indexing. Please excuse us, we are moving very slowly. I attach a file with a little progress.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wwrOywwqci1IEkJsz3s055t0bGLIqRbj/edit#gid=543568292

(*In the headers of each column, you will find a small green triangle, please use it to filter the content of your interest)

Some projects:

**Isvari Radha Mataji, suggests that we prepare summaries of the content of the classes to facilitate consultation. We know it is a great challenge, but we will keep this proposal as one of our main goals.💓

*For the benefit of Spanish speakers, Candra Mukhi Mataji will translate one of the exalted seminars that Radhika Raman Prabhu has given.

*We are also working so that we can soon share the conferences that you gave at the GBC College a few years ago.

*Nikunja Bihari Prabhu will also collaborate by translating some classes into Spanish.

*Besides; Parasurama Avatar Prabhu has told us that perhaps he can share with us the recording of the conference that he recently gave at the Complutense University of Madrid. While Govinda Pramodini DD and Rancor Prabhu have also told us that they will share audiovisual material of this wonderful Tour. As soon as this happens, we will upload it for the benefit of all.

(Thank you all so much for your tireless efforts🙏🙇)

Gurudeva, we take this opportunity to ask him, if possible, to share with his servants the recordings of his participation in HH Bhakti Raghava Swami's seminar.

HpS - ASA -- Mostly we just listened. I think the only way to do it would be to work with Maharaja's team. I hope we develop more relationship with Maharaja's effort and NIOS. Then there might be more substantial content.

Your work seems very nice. Our only thought is that Srila Prabhupada has given us a cup to take some nectar from the ocean of nectar of Srimad Bhagavatam and associated literature. All we ASA are trying do is be an "ASA", handle for the cup.

Thank you very much for all his efforts to involve us in Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan, thank you for his example that motivates us to try to be useful in some way.

At his command, his would-be servant
