Manipuri Gita, Yamunesvara Das Personal Report.

Hare Krsna, Guruji Maharaja

Dandavat Pranam,


Please accept my humble obeisances unto the padmacharan of Guruji Maharajah that this letter is draft some weeks before but could not post. Luckily today I can open the blog. Excuse me for the delay.


The translation work of Bhagavad-Gita As It Is of A.C. Prabhupada in Manipuri (Bangali and Meitei scripts) is completed and the proofreading stage is 3rd round completed.


HpS - ASA -- AgtSP!! I don't think people realize how much editing work is necessary for producing good books. Nobel Laureate, Albert Camus, said that unless you rewrite , edit, six times, you are a coward! Thanks to the editors.


Due to Covid, progress is delayed. While translating the English version of A.C. Prabhupada “Bhagavad-Gita As It Is” Prabhu Parth Sarthi Das found some words and sentences which gives two meaning internal and external. Such words and sentences are really will be helpful for the kaniska bhaktas and general readers. Prabhu Partha Sarathi Das is trying to publish the collections in a small book form so as to help the readers. The name of the book will be “Key English version of Srila Prabhupada bringing out the divine transcendental messages as implicitly contain in the selected verses of Bhagavad-Gita As It Is”.

Example :

4:27    - Purport - Last Para but four sentences – The senses interact with the sense objects.        

5:21   - Purport – Last but two sentences - Spiritual realization and sex pleasure go ill together.

9:1     - Purport – Second Para - Discussion of Krsna is very potent and if a ……

9:2     - Purport – Last Parra first sentence – As will be seen in Bhagavad-gita, actual devotional service begins after liberation.

9:26    - Purport – First Para last but two sentences : Bhakti is never causal.

12.1    - Purport - First Para fifth sentence – The personalist devotee engages himself with all

                                energy in the service of the Supreme Lord.

15:8   - Purport – It is a false claim that after the annihilation of this body everything is

                               finished.

17:15 - Purport – Middle part – One should at once quote from scriptural authority to back up

                              what he is saying. At the same time, such talk should be very pleasurable to

      the ear.  


In the Bhagavatam 11.21.41 – Translation : The Vedic meters are Gayatri……   and in the Purport : The Gagatri meter has twenty four syllables.

       Prabhu Partha Sarthi Das narrated me that the qualities of Bhagavan Sri Krsna were sung firstly by Brahma, from this tune the Gayatri is known as Brahma Gayatri. It is one of the sandas of Veda twenty four syllables. Veda has different sandas as Gayatri, Stupa ….. etc. Again for the satisfaction of mind different Goswamis used selected verses as hyme and it is known as Mantra.


HpS - Is very nice and Lord Caitnya is so kind that he has made it accesible for people with even less scholarship, and in essence it all is manifestation of the Maha-mantras: Sri Krsna Chaitanya.... Hare Krsna... Haraye namah...!


Prabhu Sadhubhusan Das will forward some pictures and videos of the Vyas Pujah at that time I will try to upload those things because I am fully engaged in the management of the function so I have no time to take pictures and not so expert.


HpS - Thank you. We hope that it was glorification of you, me, Srila Prabhupada, Bh. SIddhanta . . . Krsna.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamuneswara Das


HpS - I think there is no problem with you posting letters now. If you Save them and there is no quick reply, then Whatsapp us with notice of the full letter in this Blog.

Reunión con ASA Audiovisual


¡Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

!Todas las Glorias a Usted querido Gurumaharaja!

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.


Gurumaharaja siguiendo Sus instrucciones, tuvimos una reunión con prabhu Ambarisa, mientras Vrsabhanu Nandini mataji cuidaba al bb, ellos son maravillosos devotos. 


Los devotos nos comentaron algunas necesidades actuales para el canal. Especialmente en materia de edición de videos, difusión y organización de contenido. 


Por ahora, en nuestro equipo no contamos con la tecnología apropiada para edición, ni con expertos en la materia. Considerando nuestros recursos actuales, sugerimos que nuestro equipo puede brindar soporte para ASA Audio Visual, en las siguientes necesidades: 


* Difusión 

*Ser un banco de datos (Ellos algunas veces no pueden descargar todas las clases, acordamos que nosotros podemos hacerlo para tener un respaldo) así que estaremos muy atentos. 

*Descripción de Contenido

*Como ya hemos mencionado estamos trabajando en la elaboración de un "índice" que ofrece beneficio a ASA Visual.


Es probable que cuando nuestro equipo esté más consolidado, estaremos en posibilidad de brindar mayor apoyo en el área de edición de videos. 


Gurumaharaja, oramos poder servirle y acercar sus esfuerzos de Sankirtana a todos aquellos que deseen sumarse a la comunidad que usted está desarrollando al servicio de Srila Prabhupada a través de nuestro humilde apoyo a ASA Visual y las trasmisiones en vivo y demás. 


Muchas gracias por permitirnos ser parte de Su sankirtana que complace mucho a Srila Prabhupada y dísculpen por favor nuestro pequeño aporte.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories to You dear Gurumaharaja!

Please accept our respectful obeisances.


Gurumaharaja following his instructions, we had a meeting with Prabhu Ambarisa, while Vrsabhanu Nandini Mataji was taking care of the baby, they are wonderful devotees.


Devotees told us about some current needs for the channel. Especially in video editing, broadcasting and content organization.


For now, in our team we do not have the appropriate technology for editing, nor do we have experts in the field. Considering our current resources, we suggest that our team can provide support for ASA Audio Visual, in the following needs:


* Diffusion


* Be a database (They sometimes cannot download all the classes, we agreed that we can do it to have a backup) so we will be very attentive.


* Content Description


* As we have already mentioned, we are working on the development of an "index" that offers benefits to ASA Visual.


HpS - Yes, index is nice. One devotee was director of the Jayapataka Swami tape Ministry and said that there were so many tapes that devotees became discouraged to even begin to try and find what they wanted to know.


It is likely that when our team is more consolidated, we will be able to provide greater support in the area of ​​video editing.


HpS - We do not have too much more to say than anyone else. Listen to many devotees in ISKCON and Srila Prabhupada central.


Gurumaharaja, we pray that we can serve you and bring your Sankirtana efforts closer to all those who wish to join the community that you are developing in the service of Srila Prabhupada through our humble support of ASA Visual and the live broadcasts and others.


Thank you very much for allowing us to be part of Your sankirtana which is very pleasing to Srila Prabhupada and please excuse our little contribution.

We went all across the USA from California to Tennessee, to New York, to Santa Fe to... That is how we met NgD.


I was seeing him while in Berkeley.


We exchange letters. He still does puppet shows and is very curious scholar. The Berkeley City Library was his workshop.


Attached is a scan of a letter we sent to him in answer to his.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada


Yesterday, Wednesday December 23rd, was a beautiful day, Krishna helped everything to go well. A few days ago I had finished the article for the neighbors, they are quotes from Srila Prabhupada about Jesus Christ, just as you advised me in the FMP chat a few weeks ago.


The night before I asked Prabhu Muni Priya to help me with printing, he works in that field. The same Wednesday he was able to print it and I went to look for it at his work. Before that, I went to buy bhoga to make sweet balls to share with the neighbors. Prabhu Enrrique from Harinam donated part of the bhoga and packaging bags to us. Mother Phyllis from the temple helped us with the preparation, with the help of Prabhu Marcelo. We printed 100 brochures and made 100 sweet balls


Then when everything was ready, I asked Prabhu Vasudeva, the temple brahmacari, to accompany me to distribute the flyers, and he agreed. At around 6:00 p.m. we went out to the square in front of the Santa Isabel supermarket, one block from the temple. There a Christmas fair is brewing. We set up a table with books, which I was attending, while prabhu Vasudeva handed out the brochures and prasadam.


It was a success, we distributed all the flyers, the prasadam, a Bhagavad gita, two collections of books and other small books.


Here I share the article I wrote:


_________


Jesus Christ - Eternal Teacher


Hello Neighbors! We are ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, commonly known as "The Hare Krishna." On the Christmas of this intense pandemic year, we share with you excerpts from our books from the publisher Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, written by Su Divina Gracia A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. They talk about the life, glory and importance of Jesus Christ.


Understanding Krisha and Christ


This is an excerpt from our book "The Science of Self-Realization"


- Krishna or Christ: the name is the same-


Year 1974. Near the ISKCON center in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Śrīla Prabhupāda and several of his disciples go for a morning walk with Father Emmanuel Jungclaussen, a Benedictine monk from the Niederalteich monastery. Father Emmanuel, noticing that Śrīla Prabhupāda wears meditation beads similar to the rosary, explains that he also prays a prayer continuously: "Lord Jesus Christ, be merciful to us." The following conversation resulted from it.


Śrīla Prabhupāda: What is the meaning of the word Christ?


Father Emmanuel: Christ comes from the Greek cristos, which means "the anointed one."


Śrīla Prabhupāda: Christs is the Greek version of the word Krishna.


Father Emmanuel: That is very interesting.


Śrīla Prabhupāda: When a Hindu invokes Krishna, he often says "Krishta." Krishta is a Sanskrit word that means "attraction." So when we address God as "Christ," "Krishta," or "Krishna," we are pointing to the same fully attractive Supreme Personality of Godhead. When Jesus said, "Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Your name," that name of God was "Krishta" or "Krishna." Do you agree?





Father Emmanuel: I believe that Jesus, as the son of God, has revealed to us the true name of God: Christ. We can call God "Father", but if we want to address Him by His real name, we have to say "Christ."


Śrīla Prabhupāda: Yes. "Christ" is another way of saying "Krishta", and "Krishta" is another way of saying "Krishna", the name of God. Jesus said that one must glorify the name of God, but yesterday I heard a theologian say that God has no name, that we can only call him "Father." A son may call his father "Father," but the father also has a specific name. Similarly, "God" is the general name of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose specific name is "Krishna." Therefore, whether you call God "Christ," "Krishta," or "Krishna," you are ultimately addressing the Supreme Personality of Godhead himself.


Father Emmanuel: Yes. If we speak of the true name of God, then we must say "Christs." In our religion we have the Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe that we can know the name of God only through the revelation of the Son of God. Jesus Christ revealed the name of the Father, and therefore we take the name "Christ" as the revealed name of God.


Śrīla Prabhupāda: Actually, it doesn't matter - "Krishna" or "Christ" - the name is the same. The main thing is to follow the injunctions of the Vedic literatures that recommend chanting the name of God in this age. The easiest way is to chant the maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. "Rama" and "Krishna" are names of God, and "Hare" is the energy of God. So when we chant the maha-mantra, we are addressing God, and also His energy. This energy is of two kinds: spiritual and material. Today we are in the grip of material energy. Therefore, we pray to Krishna asking him to kindly release us from serving the material energy and accept that we serve the spiritual energy. That is our whole philosophy. "Hare Krishna" means: "Oh God energy, oh God [Krishna], please engage me in Your service." Our nature is to serve. In one way or another, we have put ourselves at the service of material things, but when this service is transformed into service to spiritual energy, then our life is perfect. To practice bhakti-yoga [loving service to God] means to be free from designations such as "Hindu," "Muslim," "Christian," this or that, and simply to serve God. We have created the Christian, Hindu and Mohammedan religions, but when we come to a religion without designations, in which we do not think that we are Hindu or Christian or Muslim, then we can speak of pure religion, of bhakti.



His sacrifice


“In history there are many examples of devotees of the Lord risking their lives for the spreading of the God consciousness process. The favorite example is that of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was crucified by non-devotees, but sacrificed his life to spread the God consciousness process. Of course, it would be superficial to believe that they killed him.


[Bhagavad-gītā 11.55, purport]


Always kind


“Apparently, Jesus Christ was put in one of those great difficulties by being crucified by the ignorant, but he never got angry with the evildoers. That is the way to accept things, whether they are favorable or not.


[Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.17.22, purport]


Singing their names


Jesus Christ has undoubtedly changed our lives, and continues to do so. Chanting Hare Krishna does not imply changing your religion, the Krishna consciousness process goes beyond the faith we have. We follow the instructions that Jesus Christ gives in his Father Our Father: "Hallowed be your name."


For this era of Kali Yuga, an era of quarrel and hypocrisy, the chanting of God's names, the sanctification of his name is vital to keep away all the eventualities that disturb our life, such as sickness, poverty and lack of spiritual life.


Immanuel, Yahvehn, Adonai, Jehovah, Elohim, etc. Only in the bible do we find many names of God.


In our Vaishnava culture (Hare Krishna) there are also an infinite number of ways to name God, and the most prominent are Krishna and Rama. Hare is the name of its energy, just as the sun generates light, there cannot be light without its source and the sun without its light. Krishna is the Supreme attractive and Rama the source of pleasure.


The important thing is to sing his names, where you name him, he is present.


Go ahead and sing:


Hare krishna

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada


Ayer, miércoles 23 de diciembre fue un día hermoso, Krishna ayudó a que todo saliera bien. Hace unos días había terminado el artículo para los vecinos, son citas de Srila Prabhupada sobre Jesucristo, tal cómo usted me aconsejó en el chat de FMP hace unas semanas.


La noche anterior pedí a prabhu Muni Priya que me ayudara con la impresión, el trabaja en ese rubro. El mismo miércoles lo pudo imprimir y lo fuí a buscar a su trabajo. Antes de ello fuí a comprar bhoga para hacer bolitas dulces para compartir con los vecinos. Prabhu Enrrique de Harinam nos donó parte del bhoga y bolsas para envasar, madre Phyllis del templo nos ayudó con la elaboración, con la ayuda de prabhu Marcelo. Imprimimos 100 folletos y se hicieron 100 bolitas dulces.


Luego cuándo todo estaba listo, pedí a prabhu Vasudeva, brahmacari del templo, que me acompañara a repartir los volantes, y accedió. A eso de las 18.00 salimos a la plaza que queda frente al supermercado Santa Isabel, a una cuadra del templo. Allí se está gestando una feria navideña. Colocamos una mesa con libros, la cuál estuve atendiendo, mientras que prabhu Vasudeva repartía los folletos y el prasadam.


Fue un éxito, distribuimos todos los volantes, el prasadam, un Bhagavad gita, dos colecciones de libros y otros libros pequeños.


Aquí le comparto el artículo que redacté:


_________


Jesucristo - Eterno Maestro 


¡Hola Vecinos(as)! somos ISKCON, la Sociedad Internacional para la conciencia de Krishna, comúnmente nos conocen cómo “Los Hare Krishna”. En la navidad de este intenso año de pandemia, les compartimos extractos de nuestros libros de la editorial Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, escritos por Su Divina Gracia A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. En ellos se habla sobre la vida, gloria e importancia de Jesucristo.


Entendiendo a Krisha y a Cristo


Este es un extracto de nuestro libro "La ciencia de la Autorrealización" 


- Krishna o Cristo: el nombre es el mismo- 


Año 1974. Cerca del centro ISKCON de Francfort am Main, Alemania, Śrīla Prabhupāda y varios de sus discípulos salen a una caminata matutina con el padre Emmanuel Jungclaussen, un monje benedictino del monasterio de Niederalteich. El padre Emmanuel, notando que Śrīla Prabhupāda lleva unas cuentas de meditación similares al rosario, explica que él también reza una oración continuamente: «Señor Jesucristo, sé misericordioso con nosotros». La siguiente conversación resultó de ello.


Śrīla Prabhupāda: ¿Cuál es el significado de la palabra Cristo?


Padre Emmanuel: Cristo proviene del griego cristos, que significa «el ungido».


Śrīla Prabhupāda: Cristos es la versión griega de la palabra Krishna.


Padre Emmanuel: Eso es muy interesante.


Śrīla Prabhupāda: Cuando un hindú invoca a Krishna, frecuentemente dice «Krishta». Krishta es una palabra sánscrita que significa «atracción». Así que, cuando nos dirigimos a Dios como «Cristo», «Krishta», o «Krishna», estamos señalando a la misma plenamente atractiva Suprema Personalidad de Dios. Cuando Jesús dijo: «Padre nuestro, que estás en los cielos, santificado sea Tu nombre», ese nombre de Dios era «Krishta» o «Krishna». ¿Está usted de acuerdo?





Padre Emmanuel: Yo creo que Jesús, como hijo de Dios, nos ha revelado el verdadero nombre de Dios: Cristo. Podemos llamar a Dios «Padre», pero si queremos dirigirnos a Él por Su verdadero nombre, tenemos que decir «Cristo».


Śrīla Prabhupāda: Sí. «Cristo» es otra manera de decir «Krishta», y «Krishta» es otra manera de pronunciar «Krishna»,el nombre de Dios. Jesús dijo que uno debe glorificar el nombre de Dios, pero ayer yo oí a un teólogo decir que Dios no tiene ningún nombre, que sólo podemos llamarlo «Padre». Un hijo puede que llame a su padre «Padre», pero el padre también tiene un nombre específico. En forma similar, «Dios» es el nombre general de la Suprema Personalidad de Dios, cuyo nombre específico es «Krishna». Por lo tanto, bien sea que usted llame a Dios «Cristo», «Krishta», o «Krishna», en fin de cuentas se está dirigiendo a la misma Suprema Personalidad de Dios.


Padre Emmanuel: Sí. Si hablamos del verdadero nombre de Dios, entonces debemos decir «Cristos». En nuestra religión tenemos la Trinidad: el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo. Nosotros creemos que podemos conocer el nombre de Dios sólo mediante la revelación del Hijo de Dios. Jesucristo reveló el nombre del Padre, y, por lo tanto, nosotros tomamos el nombre «Cristo» como el nombre revelado de Dios.


Śrīla Prabhupāda: En realidad, no importa - «Krishna» o «Cristo» - , el nombre es el mismo. Lo principal es seguir los mandatos de las Escrituras védicas que recomiendan cantar el nombre de Dios en esta era. La manera más fácil consiste en cantar el maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. «Rama» y «Krishna» son nombres de Dios, y «Hare» es la energía de Dios. Así que, cuando cantamos el maha-mantra, nos dirigimos a Dios, y también a Su energía. Esta energía es de dos clases: la espiritual y la material. En la actualidad nos encontramos en las garras de la energía material. Por lo tanto, oramos a Krishna pidiéndole que tenga la bondad de liberarnos de servir a la energía material y acepte que sirvamos a la energía espiritual. En eso consiste toda nuestra filosofía. «Hare Krishna» significa: «¡Oh, energía de Dios!, ¡oh, Dios [Krishna]!, por favor, ocupadme en Vuestro servicio». Nuestra naturaleza es prestar servicio. De una forma u otra, nos hemos puesto al servicio de las cosas materiales, pero, cuando este servicio se transforma en servicio a la energía espiritual, entonces nuestra vida es perfecta. Practicar bhakti-yoga [servicio amoroso a Dios] significa quedar libre de designaciones tales como «hindú», «musulmán», «cristiano», esto o aquello, y simplemente servir a Dios. Hemos creado las religiones cristiana, hindú y mahometana, pero, cuando llegamos a una religión sin designaciones, en la que no pensamos que somos hindúes ni cristianos ni musulmanes, podemos hablar entonces de religión pura, de bhakti.



Su sacrificio 


“En la historia hay muchos ejemplos de devotos del Señor que arriesgaron la vida en aras de la difusión del proceso de conciencia de Dios. El ejemplo predilecto es el del Señor Jesucristo. Él fue crucificado por los no devotos, pero sacrificó su vida para difundir el proceso de conciencia de Dios. Desde luego, sería superficial creer que lo mataron”. 


[Bhagavad-gītā 11.55, significado]


Siempre Bondadoso 


“Aparentemente, Jesucristo fue puesto en una de esas grandes dificultades al ser crucificado por los ignorantes, pero él nunca se puso furioso con los malhechores. Ésa es la manera de aceptar las cosas, ya sean favorables o no”. 


[Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.17.22, significado]


Cantando sus nombres 


Sin duda Jesucristo ha cambiado nuestras vidas, y lo sigue haciendo. Cantar Hare Krishna no implica cambiar de religión, el proceso de conciencia de Krishna va más allá de la fe que tengamos. Seguimos las instrucciones que Jesucristo da en su padre nuestro: "Santificado sea tu nombre".


Para esta era de Kali Yuga, una era de riña e hipocresía, el canto de los nombres de Dios, la santificación de su nombre es vital para mantener lejos todas las eventualidades que perturben nuestra vida, cómo la enfermedad, la pobreza y la falta de vida espiritual. 


Emanuel, Yahvehn, Adonai, Jehová, Elohim, etc. Tan solo en la biblia encontramos muchos nombres de Dios. 


En nuestra cultura Vaishnava (Hare Krishna) también existen una infinidad de maneras de nombrar a Dios, y los más resaltantes son Krishna y Rama. Hare es el nombre de su energía, tal como el sol genera luz, no puede existir luz sin su fuente ni sol sin su luz. Krishna es el Supremo atractivo y Rama la fuente del placer. 


Lo importante es cantar sus nombres, dónde lo nombres, él está presente.


Anímate y canta: 


Hare Krishna

Reporte de ASA trasmisiones en vivo

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 


Enviamos el reporte de la página ASA trasmisiones en vivo. 


Estamos muy agradecidos con usted por permitirnos participar de su trascendental Sankirtana al servicio de Srila Prabhupada, trataremos de dar respuesta a sus comentarios sobre vuestro proyecto (presentado en esta carta https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11848/)


1) Recibimos con agrado el nombre propuesto para este servicio (“ASA Carnaval) y realizamos un pequeño sondeo para analizar la posible reacción del público ante este nombre; descubrimos que para algunas regiones la palabra “carnaval” es sinónimo de una fiesta desenfrenada y grotesca, mientras que para otros se relaciona con la cuaresma. Todos lograron entender el sentido del nombre después de explicarlo. Por lo que creemos que quizá sería mejor adaptar el nombre para que el público capte el significado sin necesidad de mucha explicación y al mismo tiempo mantenga el significado de “incluir muchos tipos de cosas en un ambiente como un Carnaval”


Si a usted le parece bien, creemos que “ASA FESTIVAL” podría ser una buena opción, tal como un festival cultural que incluye, música, danza, filosofía, teatro, Cocina, Arte, etc…. ¿Qué le parece Gurumaharaja? 



2) Peligros detectados

Respecto a los peligros resaltados (“demasiadas cosas que a menudo son redundantes, o no son de buena calidad y no están organizadas”) Estamos trabajando en la elaboración de un glosario, para que los usuarios puedan consultar con mayor facilidad y rapidez el tema según su interés o necesidad. Por nuestra propia experiencia de consulta de las clases, estamos convencidos de que cada clase es valiosa para sus discípulos, aún cuando puedan tratar el mismo verso o tema, siempre hay puntos clave que enriquecen cada sesión y amplían nuestra perspectiva. (Además contamos con que, por su parte, ASA Audiovisual brindará a los miembros de ASA una oferta selecta para quienes no deseen navegar entre tanta información)


Sin duda, la calidad puede ser uno de nuestros mayores retos, debido a que la mayoría de las grabaciones antiguas, son deficientes pero muy valiosas. Para mitigarlo, tal vez podríamos alertar al usuario cuando la calidad sea mala. Así el usuario decidirá si acepta la austeridad en pro del contenido. 


Y en relación al mayor riesgo “La gente puede ir y venir sin lograr la meta, que es leer los libros de Srila Prabhupada” Mantendremos esta meta como el eje principal de este servicio, nos esforzaremos por establecer estrategias que ayuden a los usuarios y a nosotros mismos a no olvidarlo. 


Tuvimos una buena reunión con prabhu Ambarisa, en otra carta detallaremos los acuerdos. 


Muchas gracias por su misericordiosa atención.

Dear Gurumaharaja


Please accept our respectful obeisances.


All glories to Srila Prabhupada!




We sent the report to the ASA page live broadcasts.




We are very grateful to you for allowing us to participate in your transcendental Sankirtana in the service of Srila Prabhupada, we will try to respond to your comments on your project (presented in this letter https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11848/)




1) We welcome the name proposed for this service (“ASA Carnaval) and we conducted a small survey to analyze the possible reaction of the public to this name; We discovered that for some regions the word "carnival" is synonymous with a wild and grotesque party, while for others it is related to Lent. Everyone managed to understand the meaning of the name after explaining it. So we believe that perhaps it would be better to adapt the name so that the public grasps the meaning without much explanation and at the same time maintains the meaning of "including many types of things in an environment like a Carnival"


If that's okay with you, we believe that “ASA FESTIVAL” could be a good option, such as a cultural festival that includes music, dance, philosophy, theater, Cuisine, Art, etc…. How about Gurumaharaja?



ASA - Seems nice. In English the primary schools have "carnivals" for the children but we can immediately understand that it is different in Brazil.


What about "ASA Circus" or ASA Treasure Hunt ". Sita is the Treasure. ?? /?


2) Dangers detected


Regarding the highlighted dangers (“too many things that are often redundant, or are not of good quality and are not organized”) We are working on the development of a glossary, so that users can more easily and quickly consult the subject according to your interest or need. From our own experience of consulting the classes, we are convinced that each class is valuable for its disciples, even when they can deal with the same verse or topic, there are always key points that enrich each session and broaden our perspective. (We also have that, for its part, ASA Audiovisual will offer ASA members a select offer for those who do not wish to navigate among so much information)



Without a doubt, quality can be one of our biggest challenges, since most of the old recordings are poor but very valuable. To mitigate it, maybe we could alert the user when the quality is poor. Thus the user will decide whether to accept austerity in favor of the content.


HpS - It is "index" not "glossary". no?


And in relation to the greater risk "People can come and go without achieving the goal, which is to read Srila Prabhupada's books." We will keep this goal as the main axis of this service, we will strive to establish strategies that help users and ourselves. themselves not to forget it.



We had a good meeting with Prabhu Ambarisa, in another letter we will detail the agreements.


HpS - We can all go and visit him and live in their forest for 3-years.


Thank you very much for your merciful attention.

HpS ! ------ Sounds very nice.... Srila Prabhupada warned us that we should focus on improving on what we have rather than adding different things. That is good idea of how to work. Just trying to make four verses comprehensible to different kinds of people: https://vedabase.io/es/library/sb/2/9/33/ & 34, 35, 36.
