All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva.

Please accept my humble obeisances.

Here I leave the link of our magazine.

https://issuu.com/iskconchile/docs/pg_molinos_de_viento_2

This was an experiment in our editorial, in the next edition we are going to follow an editorial line more consistent. This edition was made with different topics. The preposition for the next edition is "compassionate and care". What do you think?

ASA - I have no compassion, picture attached, and i don't care. what's in it for me!!

Anyway, I like very much the result. Many devotees work to make this real, Prabhu Carlos Rold, Sruti Piya DD, mother Carolina (wife of Jagad Guru), Jagad Guru das, Parasurama Avatara das, Mother Stefania (Petti), and specially Cintamani Dd, She is the person that works harder on this project, an an amazing soul.

asa - ye yata mam prapadyante...

Thank you Gurudeva, for making this possible.

Your servant

asa - ronald mc donald joins iskcon??? i feel in the mood of jehovah today!!! turn or burn!!! ha! ha! ha!!!! the devil has them!!!

Separation

5 years, 1 month ago by jagatbd in Special Category A

Dear Guru Maharaja PAMHO AGTSP!

How are you doing?

HpS - We are chanting Hare Krsna and have your association at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada. That is the best we need!

I have been online listening to your classes, I want to ask you about the feeling of separation from Prabhu Hamsadutta.

I just found a letter where he apologised with the devotees he initiated including yourself and Rohini Kumara Prabhu among others.

One friend of mine Urjesvara Prabhu, a Srila Prabhupada´s disciple from Mexico, told me he was personal servant of Hamsadutta prabhu for two years and he saw the ceremony of Sannyasa.

He told me great things about Hamsaduttha prabhu.

He certainly did many important things for the movement,

I have been watching some interviews in youtube where he explains some memories about Srila Prabhupada and the controversy of the issue of Rittvik. You quite often quote him and many of his ideas.

I think that as you say and the scriptures say, anyone can be guru, so I do not have any problem understanding that, even though the Rittvik theme is not clear yet, some devotees say one thing and the senior devotees say their version.

I am eager to see you soon again and make a program for you at home.

Your very many fallen servant, Jagat Bandhu Jagannatha Swami dasa Mexico, City

HpS - Yes! I knew Urjesvara Das in Berkeley for quite some time. He was very nice person. He was gardener for Krsna, no? We enjoyed each others association a lot.

His picture of Sriman Hansadutta Das seems to have a lot of validity. That is what I understand. We have to do the work to get to know devotees in terms of NOI 4-6 etc and then we can understand their vision of The Acharya. Understanding there is a scratch on the lens, then we can use a Madhyama adhikari to see his Acharya etc.

Serving to Srila Prabhupada!

Hare krishna dear Guru Maharaja PAMHO AGTSP!

I just want to thank you for your great service to the founder Acarya Srila Prabhupada during all this years, I guess it hasn´t been easy to keep so strong as you are, many sanyasis have fallen in this process, and you have kept serving very nicely.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP. It may be that they have done more work than others, and their faults must be taken in consideration with the service they have done, no?

I only have words to appreciate your service and I feel so proud about having a great Sanyasi as guru.

ASA - AGTSP!!

I have been sort of remembering so many moments I spent with you when you became a guru (1994-95).

I enjoy listening to your online classes, they are fantastic! I am eager to see you soon. I hope I can travel abroad to see you and serve you.

I know it is difficult to associate with all the devotees, especially when there is envy, or hipocrisy, we have so many bad habits and mental disorders that we can´t be good godbrothers and godsisters, because KC is about being better human beings.

Some devotees have more Sukriti than others and therefore we get better Karma sometimes, and that is the reason others do not understand that.

HpS - Ah... very interesting idea.

I have better relationship with some godbrothers, it seems that there is Radharani´s side and Candravali´s side, but this is the material world, we have to continue and fight for our own well-being.

What can we do?

your fallen servant,

Jagat Bandhu Jagannatha Swami Dasa

HpS - Thank you for your letters. Your participation in ISKCON after so many years of working successfully in other institutions is very valuable.

Like you suggest 1. We have to be a part of the institution. That's fomal, but it is general spiritual life. then 2) We have to find friends and develope friendships with like minded people. then 3) We have to have our own direct connection to Srila Prabhupada through his books, paramatma, other devotees that we can use properly, Deity etc.

Hope to hear mor news from you about YOUR ISKCON Mexico.

Gunning for Gandharvas!

Esteemed Maharaja, Maharsi Atul-krsna Das,

Paoho....

Agt SP!!!   Here we are still restrained to Murfreesboro, TN.  We are making progress in uprooting our demoniac tendencies, by the unlimited mercy of His Divine Grace, and association of ISKCON devotees...

Here is the link for a SB class given by H. G. Gandharva Das. He is our 'disicple', a university professor for 25-years, a real gentleman, excellent wife.... Peru.

We are having regular SB classes daily.  This is our idea of what makes a BhVaibhavin: Association with people who like to hear and explain and contemplate the SB and, and then have developed the systems, techniques, for that association. Of course, the first is given by Srila Prabhupada, daily SB class!!!

  • About 51-devotees on-line now for our ASA SB class.
  • Bi-lingual.
  • Focusing on Argentina for three weeks, so it is 5.30-6.30AM (<img src="https://s.yimg.com/nq/yemoji_assets/latest/yemoji_assets/1f62c.png" alt="Emoji" height="16" width="16"><img src="https://s.yimg.com/nq/yemoji_assets/latest/yemoji_assets/1f62c.png" alt="Emoji" height="16" width="16"><img src="https://s.yimg.com/nq/yemoji_assets/latest/yemoji_assets/1f62c.png" alt="Emoji" height="16" width="16">)

We

are

try - ing to develop the Question Bank for Cantos One and Two based up these principles: Sadhu-sanga, Study Techniques, Content. It is taking a while...  We are studying like a BhVai student would study, so what ever questions we develop will be relevant to such a person.

Wish we could go faster.

Not aiming for perfection.

Just trying to get a decent product off for the BOEX (and our own Anjana Suta Academy).

We sent the First Canto work to you.

I finished SB 2.1 today. It has been of such personal benefit for me!  Gandharva Das has questions for Chapter Two and Isvari-radha Devi Dasi has been working on Chapter Three.

So...

... now we should be able to work out the Short Answer Closed Book and Open Book Essay/Oral Defense questions for the end of the Canto on this First Module: SG ==> MP.

Then.... depending on your advice, we will just review our work in terms of the Vidyapitha's manuals and go ahead to Module Two.... Brahma to Narad!!! Going to    Goloka!!!

Ooof!

His lecture demonstrates the FULL DIDACTIC and PEDALOGIC background of this questions. He explains (5) five kinds of university level questions.

He speaks English fluently.

The class is in Spanish and English.

So...

...... please tell us how we can improve our relationship with the BOEX work, MOE work in Hispanic world, and if you think I am right that we should start to turn THE BIG GUNS of the MOE [BOEX] on poor little Gandharva Das and blast him for the EC etc.

(We got other candidates also.)

Thank you!

May you be the Masters of a Million Monkeys.

Letter to Contributor

5 years, 1 month ago by hps in Special Category A

Estimado Professor Ferrar,

Ap kaisa he!?   How are your students?  Have some them graduated and married and become responsible citizens?     We continue our efforts in the battle of the forces of good against the forces of evil, sitting in the little village of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.  The Managning Editor for the next issue of ISKCON's Ministry of Education Journal, Viplavah, read your article and said that she was very gratified, but she thought that i would be best to put it in the next issue, which is academic. Our Oxford Professor, Ravi Gupta also wants it for the 2020 Fall issue since that is his academic issue. Is that O.K.?

You can see an excellent summary of our efforts at www.jayarama.us/news.htm. That is esoteric.  ISKCON is mesoteric and NIOS is exoteric. That is our Solaris Journal. With your permission we will first publish the article in Solaris this next month, it is being reviewed as an Indexed Journal, and then in Viplavah in September. Thank you for your excellent work.

Letter to the Advisors

5 years, 1 month ago by hps in Special Category A

Esteemed Dr. Professor S. Bandyopadhyaya, Brahmacari Purusottama-kesava Das et al,

Hare Krsna!!!     We are struggling to stay alive in the little village of Murfreesboro. and move forward, NIOS, ISKCON Ministry of Education, Latin American GBC and our own esoteric Anjana Suta Academy work.   ...    We have organized our ASA bulletin as our basic platform of communication: http://www.jayarama.us/news.htm, and this month is anniversary of 20-years of publication.  In this last issue especially, God's mercy and some real pain on our part, we were able to put all the work in 91% clear perspective.

Please look at it as you can and give us your criticism!!

Very specifically: Prof. here is a link to the very nice effort to place your Bio-data on Wikipedia. Our worker, Carlos Rold, from Chile, has faced different challenges but seems we are 87% ready to see it posted: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11123/

Number Two - PK Das, where are you? Professor, everyone is asking about you!   Can you also make a post to the Blog eg. Twenty-first Century Brahmacaria in ISKCON?    What was the conclusion about the NIOS-ISKCON Kolkata account?  NIOS has a substantial debt to Professor and his team for printing, editing last book.  If all the remaining funds had best go to ISKCON Kolkata, O.K.   Or if we can get our official reps in India eg. Sashi Prakasa Sing, Deputy Attorney General for Central Government, Uttar-pradesha to send an Invoice to the Temple. Or just have Prof. Sri Hari Das send proper compensation and adoration to Prof. that is another option.

Number Three - Prof.   a) How can we get Pracya-prajna articles into Solaris? b) Are there scholars that you know who would like to contribute to Solaris. It is in process with Prof. Miguel Polo et al of being reviewed for becoming academically Indexed Journal. We are poor as church mice but we can honestly offer proper honraria for articles. c) Abhirama et all want a(n series of) bio-graphical interviews of your good self. I have been trying to get the international media working with Ambarisa Das in Argentina. He and his wife are well respected, professional, video editors.  Remember the one we did quickly at the Gaudiya Matha?  That was edited and shown at the last Symposium, Education and the Sacred. Can we make a few interviews?  Are there some topics that appeal to you? One topic is why does one become a historian, especially of ancient culture?

Hector Behar ran successful Journal on Political Science for twenty years and suggest that we "Partner" with like five other Journals that, along with Solaris, will give a very serious view of the topics we are trying to communicate. We started with Bellas Artes from Lima last issue. We give them a page at the end of our Journal and they so the same for us. Who else, Stapatyam?
