Krishna paintings

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,


I am taking as a reference the style of Krishna art images, and I have some questions: Do you believe that Krishna art images were adapted so that Westerners can better understand the pastimes? 


HpS - Don't know, AGTSP!! paoho.... details, but I read that Srila Prabhupada said that the Temple Deities should have features like the local people.

Since Srila Prabhupada was "pascatya desa tarine", seem he might have aimed the art at "Western" people!

Lot of variety of style in the BBT art.



Is it a sin or a serious mistake to make modifications to the skin color and hair color of the characters from the Srimad Bhagavatam? 


HpS - Hmmm. Same as above. To me seems best to just follow the BBT art general things like this.


I ask these questions because in SB 8.22.13, it indicates that Prahlad Maharaj had dark skin: "whose dark body had the black hue of eye cosmetics." 


HpS - This might be something that the artists specifically asked of Srila Prabhupada and then the skin color in the BBT art was what he wanted.


When Dhruva Maharaj was picked up by the Vishnudhutas, did he ascend in his two-armed form or his four-armed form, similar to Vishnu? (https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/4/12/29/) In Krishna Art, Dhruva is depicted with golden skin, black hair, and two arms. 


HpS - Same as above. Follow BBT art in this case.


I wish to know how flexible I should be when creating images using Artificial Intelligence


Thank you very much

Jagat Pavitram das


HpS - I think your audience, Hispanomerican is basically the same as the USA audience that Srila Prabhupada was giving the BBT art too. So can keep same basic features and complexions, no? In Beijing, maybe use oriental features, like the Princess in the Moon, for Srimati Radha and Gopis.


Thank you!!!

Hare Krishna! Guru Maharaja. Please accept our dedicated obeisances

All glories be to our most merciful Srila Prabhupada and all glories to his faithful followers!


Praying that the energy of his body is favorable for his Sankirtana, we are very grateful for his example which constantly inspires us to keep ourselves busy in the service of our divine Acarya.

I am writing as part of the ASA Carnaval team, to send our activity report:


HpS/ASA - Thank you!! Everyone likes to visit a carnival! We attach one painting of Guru with disciples. Maybe you can use it for ASA Carnival??


*We continue to broadcast Saturday classes with HH Hanumatpresaka Swami and Upendra Prabhu, in addition to classes from ParthSarthi Foundation (Houston).


HpS - Very nice. This next Saturday H. G. Subal-askha Das will present instead of HpS because HpS getting ready for Festival of Cultivation of the Human Spirit in Nashville. Should be very nice class.


* We share a video of his offering to Srila Prabhupada, in his transcendental Vyasa Puja. (Nikunja Bihari Prabhu, collaborated with the translation and reading).


*On the FB and YouTube channels, users will be able to find a playlist with some Srila Prabhupada classes (English - Spanish).


HpS/ASA - Super. Everyone should know a little bit about all of Srila Prabhupada's books, and then know a lot about what books are important for their service.

If we can guide them around SP's books that is so nice, no?


Projects:

*Talks with Abhirama Thakura Prabhu, regarding some recordings of Santa Eulalia, are progressing.


*We are slowly continuing with the indexing and support work on the YouTube platform.


***We have had some meetings to coordinate activities that respond to your suggestions to “contribute directly to Srila Prabhupada's mission” from which several proposals have emerged in which we hope to integrate other members of the ASA. We will be informing you as soon as these proposals become more solid.


ASA - 🌞

Urgent! Kapi Dhvaja 30th August 2023

2 years ago by Patrak das in Special Category A

Hare Krishna, Dear Guru maharaja!

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 hope you are doing very well. I always pray for that. I am very happy and honoured with all your words and support with your answers. They keep us alive in every way.


We got a new computer!!! This last fortnight was interesting:

I resumed my thesis work in education. But first I have to take a course at the university, for about 2 months. I am also taking a diploma in educational management.

A few days ago I had an accident. I was getting on the bus when a lady stepped on my finger with her heel. I had to go to the clinic for a check-up and now for two weeks I won't be able to wear shoes or slippers.


HpS - I think you mean toe! In English is different word for 'dedos de pie', no?


TB/BW - How is Jivatma in baby body?

Ptrk- She is doing well. This Thursday she will be 10 months. She listens to maha mantra everyday.


We thanks a lot all you support and patience.

Your aspirant servants

EDT (Patrak das & Antuanette)


HpS / ASA - Brown, White and Prof. Gismo et al, are always endebted to your for your association!

We are adjusting the Kapi Dhvaja according to our age, and may really minimize it soon, yet if someone else wants to become Editor-in-Training, that might be a good thing.

You did not say how you got a new computer.

Just saving 25-cents every day???

😈

It has been a long and very productive day.

Lord Nrsmha deva had 12-cups of popcorn cooked in his hot air cooker, four bananas mashed with salt and pepper, 1 cup of hot milk and finished everything with 4 cups of camomille tea and freshly squeezed apple juice from apples from our neighbor's tree!

Now we hope He is resting in His Yoga nidra!!


it is 9.03PM

Very tired, but happy.

Let us look at maybe one more letter.

Manuel's report 05-2023

2 years ago by manuel in Special Category A

ALL GLORY TO SRILA PRABHUPADA!! and to his disciples like you who are determined to carry out the mission of Sri Caitanya at all times, places and circumstances.


We are going to divide this report into four parts:


1) DTC-UT INDIA PROGRESS: We have entered the final stage of the DTC-UT India edition: Pablo is incorporating all the suggestions you raised after the 2nd cut. Also, Raúl and Pablo are refining some scenes of the film based on the concepts of "water" and "fire" taken from Srimad Bhagavatam, by the mercy of Guru-Gauranga we hope to have it ready for Radhastami, any additional suggestions?


2) DEVELOPMENT OF THE NIOS-HISPÁNICO WEB PAGE: We have already had 6 work meetings, although at the beginning 10 members were summoned to participate in the end, those who participate in all the meetings are:

Professor Dolores Chávez (Lalita-gopi DD) / PhD in Language Sciences

Professor José Manrique (Jagat-pavitram D) / Electronic Engineer

Professor Diego Rodríguez de Ita / Doctoral student in Architecture

Karla Celdrán / Marketing expert

Professor Alejandro Salazar (Abhiram Thakur D) / Mathematician and SOLARIS Editor, and

Luis Celdrán León / Psychologist and CEO of Cleos Online, the company that is building the WEB. Here is a brief summary of the advanced points:


VALUE PROPOSAL: We are an educational institution with a singular perspective that serves as a bridge between the academic community and spirituality (science, psyche, and spirituality). Our goal for 2024 is to establish a community of 5,000 participants in the Hispanic world (We humbly ask for your blessings to be able to achieve this goal).


TARGET PUBLIC: Students and professors of the university field, in particular, of Human and Social Sciences. Specifically we want to connect with people who want to solve the riddle of Who am I? And how can I get a real sense of life? Currently our main focus of development is in Chile, Mexico and Peru.


COMMUNICATION CHANNELS: Website - Blog - SOLARIS Magazine - Podcast - Social Networks: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Youtube and Twitter.


RELATIONS WITH THE TARGET PUBLIC: Conferences, Symposiums and face-to-face and virtual Workshops. We are a space for meditation and contemplation through artistic, cultural and academic activities.


3) CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE EDITION OF PROFESSOR POLO'S BOOK: The book will be finished by the end of September, its title is: TRUTH AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD IN ANCIENT INDIA, he is asking H. H. HpS to write a short text on th"e importance of knowledge from Ancient India for NIOS, and for Professor Ravi Gupta (Radhika Raman D) to write an article on SABDA PRAMANA, the deadline is October 3rd, is that ok?


HpS-ASA - Thank you!

  1. How can the book be "finished by the end of September" is our "deadline is October 3rd"?
  2. I can understand "Knowledge of the World in Ancient India" but not "Truth of the World in...".
  3. "The Importance of Knowledge from Ancient India for NIOS" is a workable topic, but it would require time defining terms more precisely. How long is a "Short Text"?
  4. Radhika's topic, Shabda Praman, is like asking ArtD to write an article on Mathematics in Europe. It is very broad. Is Miguel thinking of something more specific?

///

4) DISTRIBUTION OF SOLARIS 7 IN INDIA: Thanks to the support of Dr. Mónica Campos (Head of Cancilleria of the Peruvian embassy in India) through diplomatic pouch we have already sent 10 SOLARIS No 7 Journals, they arrive in Delhi on the 6th September. Also mother Tarangaksi has brought 20 SOLARIS 7 Journals. She is now in Spain and will deliver five copies to Jayanta for Sankirtana in Spain and the other 15, when she arrives in India, will be sent to the address of Prof. Harsh Pradhana. . Finally, mother Mitravinda is taking 20 more copies of SOLARIS No 7, she arrives for Kartika in India and she will also send those copies to Prof. Harsh Pradhana. is OK?


I sincerely hope these points will be helpful in your Sankirtana for Srila Prabhupada's pleasure,

HARE KRISHNA,

Manuel.


ASA (SAUC) - The Supreme Absolute Undifferentiated Commando of ASA is greatly pleased with this excellent report. Please send another, at least after one month.
