Hare Krsna Maharaja. Please forgive my arrogance in the last letter! I was obviously under a spell of false pride trying to display my erudition before others! I beg your forgiveness and for that of all the esteemed devotees on this blog. o/ \_

Your aspiring servant,

Bhakti Sastra Das

HpS-ASA - Did not seem that way to us. Your letters seem very cultivated. What about VDM 15.73? P'pada, Radha-8 lecture, London, "Radha! Hare! No difference" Compare Sarva bhauma Das Translation with Kusakratha Das (http://www.jayarama.us/archives/vdm.docx)...

Hare Krsna Maharaj,PAMHO, AGTSP,

We thank you for the service. We accept it. But feel very unqualified for it.

It will be helpful if you can elaborate what is Special Category A and Special category B?

How we can access Special Category A letters?

grateful horse

ASA/UG - AgtSP!!! Category A we are now using for stuff that can be cited in the Kapi Dhvaja, and Category B for stuff that should go directly into the ASA Encyclopedia.

When you go to: https://monkeywarrior.com/ it says, "Filter by Category".

Sannyasa, Sannyasa, Sannyasa. How is Pariksit??? What special talent does he have?

AgtSP!!! paoho. We were listening to the recording of Sriman Gandharva Das answering the question of Kumaru Mitravinda Devi Das just before 45-minutes in today's class.

We can ask, "What is the difference between Radha, Vrnda-devi, Paurnamasi, Subhadra", no? As we understand now, Radha is the first internal energy of Krsna. We could consider the others being expansions of Her. She becomes the Stage Manager in the drama to see that all the parrots are chanting properly (Vrndadevi), or the Director of the orchestra to see that the humor is developing properly as the play develops (Paurnamasi), while at the same time keeping Her role as the actress, the heroine in the Drama.

Yet, even though she is the principal Shakti, is Subhadra not an expansion of Her but another one of Krsna's internal potencies? We can't find the citations we are remembering quickly.

I would also add that as we remember Srila Prabhupada's instruction is to worship our Radha Krsna Deities on the mood of Laksmi-narayana. It is not that we are worshipping L/N. They have four arms. Srinivasa Das' answer was quite nice.

We were are Raval during the Vraja Mandala Parikrama, and it was a very simple village. maybe even no electricity. The pujari was Vrajavasi and in the afternoon when there was sunshine he just brought the deities out on the porch and so They would get some afternoon sun and not catch cold.

Then he rolled up his dhoti and took a bucket and went off for a 10 minute walk through the forest to the Yamuna to get water for Their service, although there was a nice well there.

We are covered by Maha-maya in the form of intellectual illusions eg. http://brainden.com/face-illusions.htm, but then today I was hearing/realizing that we are covered by the Brahma-jyoti. That is after the illusion of the senses, mind and intelligence have finished. We come so much enamored with the kingdom, we forget the King.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

All Glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami!!

Last week my computer was constantly crashing (it seems that it was because there was a lot of static current in the house) maybe that's why this report never got to the blog well.

Well, this is a report of the outstanding balances between NIOS and Visual in relation to VIPLAVAH and SOLARIS.

Regarding Viplavah, it remains pending:

The edition 2/4 June 2020-02 of 48 pages, and

The edition 3/4 September 2020 of 36 pages

With the NIOS administration, the agreement is $100 for each edition. In all previous editions the number of pages was from 20 to 24, in these last two numbers the number of pages has been more, if there is any possible readjustment that can be done it is fine, but if it cannot be done, it is also fine.

HpS - AGTSP! Very nice to hear you here!! So maybe $200 and $150 for the larger issues?

Regarding SOLARIS, the payment for the services of the professional translator Doris Orbegoso is pending, the amount is $40 and the shipment of $50 copies of SOLARIS No. 4 to Tennessee, USA, through the Exporta Fácil Peru program, is also pending. in this case the amount is $250.

ASA - So 40+50 + $250 = $340? What is the $250 for?

For SOLARIS No. 5 we are considering printing it on ecological paper, ivory or oatmeal, and not in couche, the goal is to reduce the total weight of the magazine by 50%, so international shipments will be 50% cheaper.

Later or tomorrow I will send a report answering the questions you asked us in the last report about the SOLARIS indexing process, we also have very good news to share.

Hare Krishna GURUDEVA, your insignificant servant, Abhirama Thakura dasa.

ASA - You have been doing so much work and these payments have fallen so far behind. From now on let us keep NIOS's debts up to date!! Two questions for NIOS Peru to answer above.

Dr. Samaresh read the whole Solaris and said that some of the Front Matter should be in adjusted to include Advisory Board, Officers. The Sanskrita diacritics change in standard from one article to another and should be made consistent. Shouldn't the English and Spanish articles be strictly put in different sections and then be organized by last name of the authors. The last page promoting NIOS publications needs some more work. He sent me some things by e-mail. I will get to working on them.

Carrying on in Texas. Humbles and Glories. 

My job as an audio technician has opened back up. I have many days of work though my back cannot handle the heavy stuff much longer. Mi esposa is nicely situated with her job working for the City of Dallas. Once a week I go to Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji's mangal arotik. I have to be on the road by 03:45 for that. Mostly I go to read the Prabhupada Nectar. We just finished Vishaka Devi Dasi's book about Srila Prabhupada called "5 years 11 Months and a lifetime of Unexpected Love" which was amazing. Now we are reading Yogeswara's "Swami in a Strange Land". 

Although I have had two good months of sankirtan the weather has become really cold and rainy, and I have to go back to work, making it very hard to get out. I bought a case of "Karma La Justicia Infalible" and sold the whole box. So I ordered another case. This time it is "Meditacion y Superconciencia" and have sold about half the case. As far as english books, my son Abhaycharan Nimai Dasa had a stack of 26 various books in Gita Nagari that he felt should be distributed, so he sold them to me to move them here in Texas. So far 11 of those books have been sold including a big hardback "Nectar of Devotion."

I hope this meets you well, safe, and comfortable. Mishra Bhagavan Dasa

HpS - Hare Krsna!  You seem to be situated in Subhadra as well as Bhaga: Auspicious as well as opulent life. Can we publish this letter in the next issue of Viplavah?  Do you also read Srila Prabhupada's direct books? Eg. Krsna book and hot milk?  We find that they act as the catalyst for understanding these other books. All respects to Mataji. Anybody who could live with you has to be a saint. Of course, you don't count because you have no option.  <img src="https://s.yimg.com/nq/yemoji_assets/latest/yemoji_assets/1f60e.png" alt="Emoji" height="16" width="16">
