ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA!! AND TO HIS LOYAL AND FAITHFUL DISCIPLES LIKE YOU!!
Before I begin, allow me to sincerely and humbly apologize for not sending you this report sooner. It is true that ARTd has been quite busy in the NIOS editorial service and with his work at Visual-Impress, in addition, he has been experiencing severe pain in his right elbow (the traumatologist says it is “lateral epicondylitis” also known as “tennis elbow.” for using the keyboard and mouse a lot), but, even so, I should have tried to fulfill my service by informing you of his health and making a brief report. Excuse me for being a silly monkey disguised as good intentions. I am trying to correct this failure by writing a few minutes every day about what we are doing so that when the Ekadasi arrives we already have the report material, we just need to refine the details and send it to you.
HpS/ASA ['g'] - It, agtSP, seems to be very natural. Once a month seems to be good enough for a report. Of course, we have like 40-minutes talks with ArtDas almost every week.
Sankirtan.
In a future report we will talk about the academic sankirtana of NIOS-Hispanic and its website, now, this report will cover the entire editorial service of NIOS:
ASA - Was excellent report at the NIOS Board of Director's meeting last Saturday.
Book "KNOWLEDGE, WORLD AND TRUTH, an introduction to Indian philosophy." Author: Miguel Polo. The book is already completely laid out and the cover designed. Miguel and the University of Huanta have made corrections, on Thursday, May 9, the corrections will be made. I attach the approved cover. Do you have any suggestion?
ASA - We will look later and appreciate.
Book "Waves of Devotion" (WOD). Author: Danudara [Danurdhara] Swami. The progress and current status of the edition are as follows: Mother Purnamasi has completed the style review and the fidelity of the translation of the text from English to Spanish, so the entire text is now ready. Mother Indira Shakti is finalizing the preparation of charts and graphs (which are also being supervised by Mother Purnamasi). Mother Mitravinda is without a computer so only ARTd is doing the work of replacing the Sanskrit diacritics throughout the book. ARTd is expected to complete this phase in May.
ASA ...'g'... - He is a real hero. Hope his Car Pull Sin Drome is manageable.
We trust that by your mercy, Srila Prabhupada and Gaura-Nitay, the diagramming will be complete as an offering to Sri Nityananda on Panihati Chida Dahi Utsava on June 20. Do you have any suggestions regarding this?
ASA - No. It should give great satisfaction to his holiness danurdhara swami and change the course of the history of the world. Sankirtan Latino, Ki Jai.

SOLARIS Journal No. 9.
To ensure that 40% of SOLARIS content is articles in English, we have talked with Radhika Raman and Aja Govinda so that in addition to writing, they invite other academics to write. We have also written to Professor Harsh Pradana to do the same in India. All three have responded positively.
ASA - Also, we can print articles in English from our NIOS books I think.
Currently in Spanish, the following academics have already committed to writing and delivering their article before July 30:
1. Art and history as vehicles for an education in values, Héctor Béjar.
2. Ecological crisis, climate crisis and moral crisis, Daniela Vásquez.
3. Resonance, serenity and synchronicity: Jung and classical Chinese thought. Claudia Lira.
4. A holistic view of east and west, Manuel Ángel Silla
5. The cultural Portal of this issue is dedicated to the 40 years of cultural activities of the INTEGRO Group directed by Oscar Naters and Ana Zavala. Any suggestions on this?
That's all for now, HAPPY AND HELPFUL SITA NAVAMI and NRISIMHA CATURDASI!!
Hare Krishna, Bhakta Manuel.
'Q'pop~ AgtSP. Hope your body is surcharged with super human ecstatic spiritual ecstacy.
These reports are worth a million dollars. Inspire others to do the same.
