9th Report of THE ART AND THE SACRED
Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada !!
All glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami !!
First of all, allow me to apologize for this long absence in sending reports to the Blog. I speak with you every week, but, I know that your communication and organization system of your Sankirtana revolves on the basis of the Blog, therefore, I sincerely ask you to excuse me for this long delay, I will try to be regular by sending reports every two weeks.
HpS - ASA -- Yes! Thank you so so very much. I guess the main point is that we, Hanumatpresaka Swami, only have a small part in the organization these programs in the Anjana Suta Academy. We apologize that we have not been able to communicate that enough.
Especially in "Art and the Sacred", it very much depends on working with NIOS, as a branch of ASA. Unless we get regular coordination of the work through this Blog we will get into very big problems. Now with just three months until this program things are becoming crucial. This work is so important for all of ISKCON. This program is one of the premier programs in all of ISKCON.
In relation to the advancement of ART AND THE SACRED, this is the program that we are advancing:

FINAL REFLECTIONS (five exhibitors)
Next week we have a meeting with Ramón Mujica to refine the names of the Symposium days (welcome suggestions). And then with Miguel Polo to see the progress of SOLARIS No. 3, Krishna through, we hope to have the magazine ready in mid-September.
The brochure of THE ART AND THE SACRED have already been received by Beverley in Bogotá-Colombia, there they will distribute them in the VIII Latin American Congress of Jungian Psychology.
For the artistic presentations we have a good reception with the embassies of India, Japan (Flute and Harp) and China (Erhu, the Chinese violin), also our Sufi friend can present a dance of 10 minutes.
That is all for now. Hare Krishna respected Gurudeva, his insignificant servant, Abhiram Thakur das.
HpS - Yes, just 13-weeks to develop all of this. Even less since a lot of the work should be done in Solaris.
We sould suggest that we focus on Solaris to organize the participation, who will join us, and what will be the content of the Symposium.
Participation
We want to reach new people and get them involved with our programs, our ideas, our books, our community, our discussion. We want to involve the ISKCON National Council.
We want to develop more relations with old friends.
Content
You list the event as just these three days in the evenings. Won't there also be other pre-events and even events during the day?
Who has confirmed attendance? How will we host them?
Is your budget suficient?
Please send copies of the contract with the National Museum to the Blog. It is essential. We really HAVE to have these in your next report if we want NIOS to participate. They are a slow bunch in many ways.
We would suggest we start and finish each evening with a musical/dance item and then divide the rest of the evening into two parts as you have done, but we would suggest starting with a longer presentation, say 40-minutes with one presenter and then 20-minutes for questions and answers with the audience and the other participants. Of course, we want to have audio record of everything so we can make movies, articles for Solaris.
In the second half we have would suggest three panelists of twenty minutes each and then twenty minutes of questions and comments by other panelists and the audience.
Themes can answer Hector's three questions:
1. Describe the community with which you identify yourself.
2. Describe what is sacred in that community and
3. Describe how Art allows members of the community to realize the Sacred.
To this we could add the topics:
4. Describe how Art in your life and community, or in the life of some one else, for example, Stanislavskii, has or is being used to realize the Sacred and to communicate the Sacred to others.
5. Can the world be happy, free from wars and violence, without profound realization of the Sacred through Art?
Esteemed Blog members. Please join in this project. Help the Thakura and his marvelous associates: Nitya-kishori, Luis Tunino et al.
Organize this Symposium in other places, Arrequipa, Chile.
We will arrive Lima about the 24th September. We would love to join other events for this topic in Lima and I think we would also go out to La Paz and Arrequipa. We are discussing this with Mathuresha Das.
What do the members of the National Council etc. think.
24th October we would go to Santiago and come back about one month later. Stay in Lima maybe only one or two nights.
Thank you again. Thank you for the pictures. Hope your family, body and business are go very well.
