Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

Please accept our humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I just sent the selection of open book and short answer questions to both Yahoo accounts. I hope my choice is correct. Please continue to consider me for this service in the future.

Your servant, Gandharva das

HPS - ... and we opened them (I think it is the same files) and read through them and made some commentarys in the class on Saturday and sent you the link and....

😁

Bali-mardana Das has continued with the effort to integrate our Pan-american Bhakti-vaibhava studies with the facilities being offered by the Vidya-pitha in the Govardhana Eco Village near Mumbai.

The report from Gauranga-darshana Das, Hemarupa Caitanya Das and Sankirtana Das from there side is that they are still posting the materials for on-line study at there website for Canto Six.

Our ASA idea is that the esteemed devotees in San Jose with Srivasa pandita Das and Houston with Radha-krsna Das and Hari-lila Das, who are finishing the six canto study should integrate with the sixth canto on-line course from the VP for the mutual benefit and for development of the program for all time.

We will try to keep you informed.

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO AGTSP!

All glories to your sankirtana!

All glories ASA team!

By Srila Prabhupada's mercy, we can have the association of the wonderful sankirtana of ASA Team, Krsna allow us to continue associating with this team.

Thank you very much by answer my previos letter.

Please, I have 2 question more about SBG class of tuesday ( in a previos of a previos letter I asked these questions but i do not writed well key word) :

HpS - ASA -- I think you did things fine, but we were just slow in ansering.

1.- What topics do you suggest for the participation of the devotees?

You gave topics about the great devotees (vaisnavis) of Krishna, could we continuos with this themes?

ASA - We answered. Hope it was O.K.

As a contribution, I give these proposals:

1. SBG canto 1 chapter 7 Drona son punished.

2.SBG canto 1 chapter 8 Prayers of Queen Kunti and Pariksit saved

3 Teachings of The Queen Kunti 26 textos (the book) (It seems to me hear from you, mentioned that in the purport of this book is general and it do not refer directly to the verse, is it?

2.- Can English-speaking devotees take up these themes or will they develop other theme?

Please, give me your guide. I am trying to help to my spiritual cousins sisters.

Sri Nrsimhadeva protect you

with respect and apreciaton

Note: Abhinanda d after quarantine has started working, he doing home and office furniture.

HpS - Yes, answer in previous letter. Our slowness.

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO AGTSP!

All glories to your sankirtana!

I hope team ASA (Monkey,Piggy, Tom Brown) are very good.

I request you please, Give me your opinion on the following:

I.- Trying to understand and follow the line of subjects that you gaved (about vaisnavis), I think that this topics could be exposed in the next class of tuesday:

1.- Prayers of the Queen Kunti and Pariksit saved. SBG 1 chapter 8

2..-The Son of Drona punished. SBG chapter 7

3.- Teachings of Queen Kunti. (have 26 textos)

These chapters are very extensive and would be divided into several sections.

Is good this topics? or What topics do you think is most appropriate?, please give me your opinion.

HpS - AGTSP these are nice. I think an index of "Stri dharma" in the first two cantos would be a wonderful contribution. Some of Kunti Rani's prayers talk about or show Stri dharma, but others talk about other wonderful topics.

II.-Can english-speaking devotees be included in these rol of themes or will they develop other themes?

HpS - I don't know? Let us see if they respond. It takes time to build a team. Maybe a transcendent team!

THank very much for your mercy, Sri Nrsimhadeva protect you

Whit very affection and gratitude

HpS - ASA ----- Thank you!! Everyone. We hope your daughters are growing up to do wonderful things for society.

Hare Krishna Dearest Devotees,

ISKCON 50 Celebrations at ISKCON Houston bring back some special, nectarian memories.

We had the causeless mercy and good fortune of hosting my beloved Guru Maharaj, H. H. Bhakti Caru Swami, at our humble abode during His stay.

Inconceivably, the mercy kept increasing. This was the first opportunity we had to serve both H. H. Hanumat Presaka Maharaj and my Guru Maharaj, for lunch together ...  a desire fulfilled after fifteen years.

Sept 11 2015…

Sweet reciprocation between two Godbrothers: Bear Hugs… Honoring Prasad ...Sweet conversation... Karate lesson…

Without further ado, I will let the pictures below tell the stories …

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja,

I hope ASA team are very good.

HpS - ASA - No meat, no fish, no eggs! AgtSP!!!!! paoho....

Please excuse the queries I make, they are technical, however I have no one else to consult.

Uncle Gismo - We shall tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help us God.

Consult[ation]s:

1.-August tuesday 11 is Janmastami and Tuesday 25 is Radhastami , this days classes are for English-speaking devotees. I don't know what topics they will give those days; however only for those days the class could be done with translation (bilingual)?

UG - Sounds fine to us. Any readers have any objection?

2.-Regarding the KDPC keyword I just have to write in the title KDPC or KDPC: keyword?

UG - Just the "keyword' by it self will be enough to draw the attention of our sub-human mail clerks.

Note: I sent a letter to the blog on Monday 20 but with the keyword of the previous fortnight: Govinda-Ji and I did not put KDPC, I thought that the keyword was sufficient, that's why it is my query.

UG - Ah!

3.-You are right there are no educational projects as a priority in GBC administration, according to their page their priority is in the development of temples, teamwork and training of administrative personnel, Maybe this is urgent for them. I think of the different religious orders of the Catholic Church where according to their character and priority to preach in different ways. Some orders are more contemplative, others are more social and others of study and projects like the Jesuits or expansive preaching like the Franciscans. I see here a type of Varna (division of labor). I think perhaps ISKCON could organize itself in this way or take elements of this type of organization. What do you think?

UG - One GBC Secretary, Guru, Sannyasi, nice person, told me that in conclusion it seemed to him that ISKCON was like a lose collection of Guru cults. So there is a lot management technique, focus on education in large Guru zones sometimes, but no effort to develop it in the larger society the same way. I think there is some truth in that. It may be the best we can do now. Personally I try to develop my perspective on eduation in ISKCON and then connect with others as I can. It is a big society and I don't think I can understand all of it!!!

And your good self?

NOte: Before day 30 , I will send my questions about Canto 2 chapter 2. Sorry for the delay, I am organizing to be more effective.

HpS - Ahhhh. Thank you!!!!!!

With appreciation and respect.

UG, TB, BW, HpS - Thank you!!! Does Abhimanyu Das work from home? What is he doing???
