Letters to the editor

AgtSP!

Esteemed Prahlada Nrsmha Das,

Paoho. We are remembering in our room in Radha desa. Was such nice visit!

We hope your part in Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan party, ISKCON [!] is growing with enthusiasm.

Any way we can help you?

Srinatha Krsna Das et al were visiting for our Cultivation of the Human Spirit (CHS) symposium last weekend. Wonderful.

He commented that if LOB (and NOI) would open like a chapter in the SB on VDB.IO it would seem to give so much more access for study and teaching.

That would mean instead of opening to the untitled verse numbers, it would open to the whole booklet with each verse and their purports arranged as they are in the individual chapters of SB.

This is a suggestion from Users with very little knowledge of how much work it would take to make the change.

Is possible?

Need help?

Thank you.

Send some news:

• VDB.IO?
• Family?
• Yatra?
• How long it take you to buy Audi?

HpS / ASA -🙂

HpS-ASA - Su, Su, Super! For the next two weeks, and almost two months, we should be situated in our Base Camp in M'boro, and have regular Kirtan activity.

Thank you.

Everytime we prosecute Mangala arti we become purer, more useful to Radha Krsna.

Hare Krishna, Dear Gurumaharaja!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and All glories to you.

Please accept our humble obeisances. (PAOHO)

As of every two weeks:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups (English & Spanish) as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm

Hare Krishna. I sincerely hope you are doing well

HpS - ASA - Program in Richmond is very, very, very intense. We expected it to be and as expected there are very, very, very good results.

We have regular chest pains when we start to push, so we try to get enough rest, but we are skating on the edge of the ice.

🙂

We are doing ok. Keeping a sane sadhana for us (16R, 4.30AM, 4P). Worshipping our deities before leaving for work. Then reading SB everyday.

This is our last week of classes before the holidays. Next week I going to travel with my group to Oxapampa, jungle of Peru. It is our educational journey and we will work the land; planting, harvesting, etc.

Today I plan to go to the temple. I read that Temple of Miraflores is open again. It is the closest temple to home. so we'll try to keep going.

My family is ok. My niece is now 8 months. My mother is doing some checkups, because she got a ball on her leg... doctors are ruling out that it is cancer. I lost some weight, I don't know how. But I am keeping my diet.

we thanks a lot all you support and patience

Your aspirant servants

HpS - 😢 Your help is so, so essential us. Please excuse that sometimes we don't process your Blog posts immediately.

They are our number one priority.

Hope your students see Krsna!!!

JAYA SRI SRI GURU AND GAURANGA !!

ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA !! And his dedicated disciples like you, that inspire us to absorb ourselves in Hari Kirtan.

ARTd's donkey has been affected by various health issues. Now that it is recovering, we will try to be consistent in sending reports to the Blog.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Paoho... We will try to process Blog posts better! It has taken us five days to read and process this wonderful post. I should have been three at the most. 🤔

We are always trying to be helpful in Sankirtana, but we lack more attunement with Paramatma, please excuse our failures.

HpS/ASA - Same for us. Let us make progress each day!

This report has two parts:

PART 1: SOLARIS No 7 and SOLARIS No 8.

By the mercy of Sri Nityananda we hope to have Dr Samaresha's article definitively approved before July 5th so that we can have SOLARIS No. 7 printed on July 11th (ISKCON meets its 57th anniversary that day). This edition of SOLARIS No 7 has been the most laborious, so far, but its content is worth it.

HpS - Jaya! Yet, it seems that the effort we have put into it, the accomodate Dr. Samaresha's comments has been worth it in growth of Solaris as an Academic journal.

We hope that through Professor Hanumatpresaka Swami, Dr. Gupta (Radhika Raman) and Dr Bandyopadhyay we can get 4 or 5 articles in English. We call on all blog readers to contribute to this purpose.

HpS/ASA - [TTD] We are always looking for English language academics to participate. Seems we are progressing in this area. One candidate might be Dr. Abhiseka Singh: LAW - Religious and Secular in the Current Moment. 

2nd. PART: DTC-UT INDIA PROGRESS. Since ARTd returned from Chile (on June 25) it [he] has been in permanent contact with Pablo Rivasplata, the meetings sometimes ended almost at midnight. Pablo has offered the first version for July 6 and the final version the last week of July.

HpS/ASA - Aaaah! Now it is July 9th and we do not have the July 6th version??? Some medical problem? It seems that it will be a Block-buster.

That's all for now, ARTd will write, between July 3 and 7, a report on the trip to Chile and another on the situation of the Peruvian yatra.

TB - Haaa! Haaa! Haaa! ArtD and Monkey Manuel ate as bad as us and HpS. Yet, whatever we do daily we will perfect. So keep a Diary. Publish that.

Maybe keep a Twitter account.

HpS - Might be able to Follow some ASA flock members on Twitter.

See the DTC for today.

Please accept my respectful obeisances, Hare Krishna!!

El burro de ARTd ha estado afectado por varios temas de salud. Ahora que ya se está recuperando, trataremos de ser constantes en enviar informes al blog. Siempre estamos tratando de ser útiles al Sankirtana, pero nos falta más sintonía con Paramatma, por favor disculpa nuestras fallas. Este informe tiene dos partes:

1era PARTE: SOLARIS No 7 y SOLARIS No 8.

Por la misericordia de Sri Nityananda esperamos tener aprobado definitivamente el artículo del Dr Samaresha antes del 5 de julio y así poder tener SOLARIS No 7 impresa el 11 de julio (ese día ISKCON cumple su 57avo aniversario). Esta edición de SOLARIS No 7 ha sido la más laboriosa, hasta ahora, pero su contenido lo vale.

Avance de SOLARIS 8:

1.         Héctor Béjar: LOS PARADIGMAS DE UNA EDUCACIÓN HOLÍSTICA (entregado)

2.         Diego Rodríguez de Ita: THE PATH OF ARCHITECTURE INTO THE FUTURE (entregado)

3.         Guillermo G. Sepúlveda: SOCIOLOGÍA DE LA ALIMENTACIÓN Y LA PERSPECTIVA VÉDICA PARA EL DESARROLLO DE LA COMUNIDAD (entregado)

4.         José Luis Valencia: EL PLAN ESPIRITUAL AZTLAN, Símbolos del movimiento chicano de resiliencia (por entregar)

5.         Claudia Lira: RESONANCIA, SERENIDAD Y SINCRONICIDAD: JUNG Y EL PENSAMIENTO CLÁSICO CHINO (por entregar)

6.         Paula Miranda y Elicura Chihuailaf: LA POESÍA, LA NATURALEZA Y LO SAGRADO (por entregar)

7.         Mauricio Contreras: LA CATEDRA UNESCO Y LA ESPIRITUALIDAD EN LA EDUCACIÓN (por entregar)

8.         Entrevista a Francois Vallaeys: EL PAPEL DEL VOLUNTARIADO EN LA RESPONSABILIDAD SOCIAL UNIVERSITARIA (por realizar)

Esperamos que a través del Profesor Hanumatpresaka Swami, del Dr. Gupta (Radhika Raman) y del Dr Bandyopadhyay podamos obtener 4 o 5 artículos en inglés. Hacemos un llamado a todos los lectores del blog a que contribuyan con este propósito.

2da. PARTE: AVANCES DE DTC-UT INDIA. Desde que ARTd regreso de Chile (el 25 de junio) ha estado en contacto permanente con Pablo Rivasplata, las reuniones a veces acabaron casi a medianoche. Pablo ha ofrecido para el 6 de julio la primera versión y la versión definitiva la última semana de julio.

Eso es todo por ahora, ARTd escribirá, entre el 3 y 7 de julio, un informe del viaje a Chile y otro sobre la situación del yatra peruano.

Por favor acepte mis respestuosas reverencias, Hare Krishna!!

Manuel

Hare Krishna, Maharaja and dear devotees,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Maharaja thank you for catching my incorrect statement. The purport to text 15.9 of Adi lila, last sentence says "It is strictly forbidden for one to accept any kind of grain on Ekadashi, even if it is offered to Lord Vishnu".

BUT, when I was writing my handwritten notes, I wrote the sentence, but I miss the word accept, so when I was reviewing my notes today in morning just before the start of class. I said this sentence does not make sense. Hence, I insert the word to give instead of accept, it is my mistake not to go back and refer to original sentence of the purport od adi lila 15.9. I was under pressure of time so I did not go back to compare my notes with purport of verse 15.9

I request Maharaja and devotees to forgive me for my inattentiveness in preparing my notes. I will try to be more attentive while preparing my notes. Thank you. Hare Krishna.

HpS - Thank you! AgtSP!!! Gradually we build a nice structure of ideas, that is our Krsna conscious intelligence. It is based on SB verses. They are connected by our logic. It all becomes more and more fine, so that nothing can sneak in and bewilder us.

No class this Saturday and on the 15th we can work out your LoB presentation!

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva 🙏🏻

Please, accept my humble obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

This is the current schedule of devotees for leading kirtan on Full Morning Service:

● MONDAY: H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami.

● TUESDAY: Govardhana das, Mitravinda devi dasi.

● WEDNESDAY: Yugala Kishora dasi, Jagad Guru das.

● THURSDAY: Tarangaksi devi dasi, Caturatma das.

● FRIDAY: Abhinanda das, Deva Vrata das.

● SATURDAY: Isvari Radha devi dasi, Karuna Sakti devi dasi.

● SUNDAY: Candramukhi devi dasi, Parasurama Avatara das.

Gurudeva, I sent the devotees the requirements for kirtan leaders that you wrote in response to the previous schedule.

HpS - Super! Especially: "We are already accustomed to chant these two mantras — śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya prabhu-nityānanda śrī-advaita gadādhara śrīvāsādi-gaura-bhakta-vṛnda and Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Now, after these, the other two lines — namely haraye namaḥ, kṛṣṇa yādavāya namaḥ/ gopāla govinda rāma śrī-madhusūdana — should be added". . .".
