Letters to the editor

¡Hare Krsna! ¡Querido Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte nuestras rendidas reverencias

Todas las Glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada y todas las glorias a sus fieles seguidores. 🙏

💐

Muchas gracias por brindarnos tantas facilidades para mantenernos conectados con usted y con las instrucciones de Srila Prabhupada. FMS es una fuente inagotable de inspiración. ¡Gracias! 🐒

A continuación, enviamos un breve resumen de nuestras actividades:

*Mantenemos las transmisiones en Facebook. En este periodo sobresalen; su participación en Mayapur TV español, BBT Latino, ParthSarthi Foundation y por supuesto las clases sabatinas.

*Continuamos con la labor interna de indización, avanzando lentamente. (Por favor disculpe, durante este periodo, la mayoría de los miembros de este, su equipo, hemos tenido dificultades físicas, ahora mismo estamos haciendo lo posible para reponernos).

*Jaya Hari Prabhu, se ha unido al manejo de la página, él tiene varios videos y fotos que le gustaría compartir y le estamos muy agradecidos. (-¡Todos están invitados a contribuir! si está interesado, por favor, contáctenos-).📫

PROPUESTA

Gurudeva, si a usted le parece bien y nos autoriza; estamos listos para compartir las 4 clases que usted dictó en el GBC College, Campina grande Brasil, el pasado marzo 2018. El tema central fue “Experiencias prácticas en la administración de ISKCON”. Son solo audio y tal como le mencioné, no son del todo buenos, pero se entienden perfectamente. Hemos pensado que quizá podríamos compartir una clase diaria durante una semana. ¿Qué le parece?

Por otra parte, quisiéramos preguntarle ¿Cómo podemos ayudar con la organización de “ASA Bookshelf” de la que habló en el pasado Kapi Dhvaja?

Hare Krsna! Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept our obeisances!

All glories be to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to his faithful followers. 🙏

💐

Thank you very much for making it so easy for us to stay connected with you and with Srila Prabhupada's instructions. FMS is an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Thank you! 🐒

HpS/ASA - We wish that we had been able to read this and put more comment in the Kapi Dhvaja. We can be more sincere. We are also realizing that we are just one little monkey and can only do so much work.

It is 8.04PM. We have had FMS, Walking with Dr. Desai, Meeting with Professor Dr. Samaresh Bandyopadhyaya, Meeting with Atul Krsna Das, 16-rounds, moving to our Summer room, walking and talking with NgD and Dr. Desai, meeting with ArtDas for: Solaris, DTC(UT), ISKCON Peru, NIOS.

Now we are trying to do a little Blog. We have some chest pains, but this is nice way to die.

Please make regular ASA Branch Reports!!

Next, we send a brief summary of our activities:

* We keep broadcasts on Facebook. In this period they stand out; his participation in Mayapur Spanish TV, BBT Latino, ParthSarthi Foundation and of course the Saturday classes.

*We continue with the internal work of indexing, advancing slowly. (Please excuse me, during this period, most of the members of this, your team, have had physical difficulties, right now we are doing our best to recover).

ASA - ArtDas just explained that he hurt his knee badly.

*Jaya Hari Prabhu, has joined the management of the page, he has several videos and photos that he would like to share and we are very grateful. (-Everyone is invited to contribute! if you are interested, please contact us-).📫

PROPOSAL

Gurudeva, if it's okay with you, and you authorize us; We are ready to share the 4 classes that you gave at the GBC College, Campina Grande, Brazil, last March 2018. The central theme was “Practical Experiences in ISKCON Administration”. They are audio only and as I mentioned, they are not entirely good, but they are perfectly understandable. We thought that perhaps we could share a daily class for a week. What do you think?

HpS/ASA - I think it was clear that whatever we presented there we and the GBC College both had the right to use as we wanted. It was a nice program.

Please present them with whatever discretion you think necessary.

We did a similar presentation while we were in Santa Eulalia of one or two hours as a studio video recording. ArtDas, Srinivasa Das have copies.

On the other hand, we would like to ask you, how can we help with the organization of “ASA Bookshelf” that Kapi Dhvaja spoke about in the past?

HpS/ASA - There is not much to do now. I need to sit with someone who can sit here for a week or so and just buy a few more books of Marshal McLuhan, and then maybe write a catalog of what's on the shelf and maybe record a little commentary.

Then the old DTC's, maybe three years can maybe be scanned.

We think that we are maybe 20% perfect. O.K. 80% of what we have done is not worth much saving. Better focus on saving what Srila Prabhupada has done.

ASA Carnival

ASA/HpS - Hoping that we can all appreciate our Siddha-svarupas, eternal forms, and join the very, very important work that we have left behind in Goloka!!

ASA Carnival is a part of that eternal lila.

Hare Krishna, Maharaja & Dear Devotees;

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to Guru & Gauranga.

As per your instruction I am writing following message.

On June 3, 2023, Saturday morning class, we are going to start reading onwards from Adi Lila -- 11.30 verse. Thank you for your valuable association.

ASA - AgtSP! Paoho. So sorry that we did not post this timely. If you can, please remind us on Whatsapp that you posted it.

What is the topic for 10th?

Thank you.

Querido gurudev: Pamho. TgSP y sus seguidores fieles.

Espero que se encuentre animado cuando reciba este mensaje. He tardado un poco mas de lo habitual, porque estaba esperando a tener el TPP en español publicado por el BBT Latino. Ya lo tenemos y ha quedado bien. La verdad es que ha tardado bastante el proceso: El 29 de diciembre por fín pudimos pasarle todos los archivos necesarios..... y después (maratón de Navidad en el BBT, enfermedad de uno, enfermedad de otro, etc, etc,). El precio en España es el siguiente:

6,40 euros para Templos o sankirtan

9,30 euros PVP (público en general)

5,00 euros para el autor (HPS).

Si en algún pais como Mejico, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, etc desean imprimir el libro y saber los precios pueden contactar con el BBT latino. Aquí hemos imprimido 50 ejemplares para ver que tal salen y los precios no me parecen mal, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que la inversión ha sido de cero euros.

Por lo demás seguimos como siempre, con nuestra rutina.

HPS/ASA - Eso es, tlgaSP, pfanrh, muy bien. Estamos comenzando manyana noche en seminario en NoI con Partha sarathi Foundation, dirigido por Hari lila Das. Yo presento una Martes y Sri Natha Krsna Das presenta el otro.

Claro, incluir TPP.

Si no cantando SKC/PN, HK/HR debemos leer los libros de Srila Prabhupada y esperamos TPP es ayuda en esta esfuerza!!!

En relación a nuestro programa de Sat Sanga, empezó hace unos nueve años.

Purnamasi tenía Gurukula semanal con niños en nuestra casa y los adultos nos subiamos a conversar en el piso de arriba; a las dos semanas pensamos que en vez de conversar podiamos hacer un programa simple (Bhajan-Clase BG-Kirtan y Prasadam) y aquí seguimos nueve años mas tarde.

Lo de los niños ya no se hace pero los adultos seguimos.

A veces somos menos (cuatro o cinco) y a veces somos más (venticinco). Es algo muy simple: Quedas un dia fijo con los devotos que viven cerca (un radio de unos veinte kilometros) y a veces vienen tambien devotos de mas lejos (por ejemplo de Madrid).

Lo hacemos de forma regular en calendario escolar (de septiembre a Junio) y en verano quedamos en el rio o bosque de forma esporadica).

HpS - Es un programa simple but... how many programs like yours are going on under the impetus of Srila Prabhupada??? Of course, if all the persons like your and Mataji were brought together in one room it would be thousands?

So, these home programs are changing the world.

We should just go on with them and always improve them. We should adjust them to pandemic, wars, floods, fame, wealth.

Ahora llevo algún tiempo estudiando SB bajo la guia de Yadunandana Swami. Es algo muy practico porque además de agradable te compromete a estudiar.

HpS - For the first time after our visit to Spain [!!!] I called Yadu Maharaja and we talked for about one hour. Very nice. Maybe we stay here until we leave this body. Maybe we go back to New Braja-mandala.

Eso es todo por ahora.

ASA - Back Home Back to Godhead! NVM is a boat!

AgtSP!!

Paoho... Many devotees have asked us about doing systematic study of Srimad Bhagavatam etc. Of course, the basis is association. Find teachers, study-partners and students.

You can do focused seminars. Eg. One week on Rupa-siksa, CC 2.19.

You can do Srila Prabhupada's four diplomas, Bhakti Sastri etc.

If we look at our Nila-madhava Dhama, (ISKCON Hugh's Town) several of them have finished their Bhakti Vaibahva diploma and want to do Bhakti Vedanta. In response we would suggest the individual Brahmanas have a little coordination with the administration to promote a Bhakti Vedanta Study Group (BVSG), and even broadcast this to their broader audience outside of Houston eg. College Station etc.

Then, individually, those devotees can formally register with an online program like Gauranga Darshana Das Vidya pitha (Govardhana Ecovillage) or the Bhagavata Maha-vidyalaya near Govardhana.

These institutions can take care of the bureaucracy and infrastructure while the Nila-madhava devotees can have informal physical association eg. sit together and watch and discuss recorded classes, submit examinations at the same time.

Later if the Nila-madhava yatra has more demand they can develop the classes themselves.

Please give your ideas on this program.

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva 🙏🏻 

Please accept my humble obeisances! 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Here is a little report about our translation progress:

We have already translated into Spanish about 80 % of the book. 

We still have a few chapters and graphics left. I will do this work.

On the other hand, two of the devotees who were part of our team (helping with the style correction and the proper placement of the Sanskrit words) are not going to be able to continue with this service.

Now, we are only Indira Sakti dd and me in the team. She is in charge of the book's design and the elaboration of the graphics.

So, Gurudeva I am wondering who could help us with the style correction?

HpS - What is 'style correction'? Is it how the language flows?

Gandharva Das is not working with you? Maybe we can get him enthused to help again.

In the coming days I will meet Indira Sakti dd to discuss more in detail about the work.

Thank you so much for your patience, Gurudeva 🙏🏻

Trying to be in service:

Mitravinda dd.

HpS - From our opinion this is a FANTASTIC service to the Hispanic world. This book makes NOS, the complete science of devotion, like six times more accessible.

Thank you.

What is style?

Hare Krishna, Maharaja & Dear Devotees;

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to Guru & Gauranga.

As per your instruction I am writing following message.

On May 27, 2023, Saturday morning class, we are going to start reading onwards from Adi Lila -- 10.130 verse. Thank you for your valuable association.
