Inquiry about the book of verses

Hare krsna Dear Maharaja and ASA team.

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to the service of the ASA team!


I am glad to know that he is better, although I know that brother donkey is advancing in age, even so I cannot help but feel concerned about your state of health.

The body of my diksa guru SS Bhaktibhusana Swami is also having health problems and he is can not to continue his tour of South America. He is now trying to recover his health in the city of Mendoza in Argentina so that he can later return to Germany.


Today in SB class, you mentioned about the book of verses that is in charge of Srinath prabhu.


ASA - AgtSP. His brother, Sri Rama Krsna Das


And I am writing to know if there will be a Spanish version? If possible we can help with the Spanish version. Here we have 3 devotees, who can help in translation, proofreading (from English to Spanish), editingin and publication


HpS/ASA - It is 99% Sanskrit. It is just the Sanskrit for the verses as they are cited in the Texts of NOI. So you can refresh your memory and then the source is cited eg. BG 18.66, so that you can look there for more details.

Then it has the first line of the verses in alphabetic, not NOI Text, order in the back and their BBT location and page number in the little study guide itself.


The Amazon version is like 99% ready. It just needs for the picture on the front cover to have a little more margin at the top, the Maha-mantra to also be included in the verses listed and a link for free download of an A4/USA Letter Size format that you can just print for free.


We can also help in distribution according to how you indicate.


We offer our help as a way to collaborate in your great service, if necessary.

Thank you very much for all your dedication and help in our spiritual life.


Sri Nrsimhadeva protect you.

Whit apreciation and respectful darling

Manuel's Report 01-2024

2 months ago by manuel in Special Category A

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada and his sincere and determined disciples, like you.


Excuse the silence of these last few months, I have been involuntarily put “in the freezer”, but now, due to the inspiration of the activities around your Vyasa-puja made to Glorify you and the Parampara we are returning with many power.


These last few months, ARTd has been trying to be useful in building the NIOS website for the Hispanic world (it is 80% ready).


Four more points have been absorbing the Thakurji's energy these days: SOLARIS No 8, the Spanish edition of WOD, a book of comparative eastern epistemology, in Spanish, by Miguel Polo sponsored by NIOS and finally developing a strategic dialogue of identity about Who I am? about us? and what is NIOS?


ASA/HpS 😲 👍 👍👍


In this report I am going to focus on the Hispanic NIOS website, and the dialogue about the identity of NIOS.

Let us begin.


Now that H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami has retired from all administrative work (in NIOS and also in ISKCON


ASA - He is still trying to do as much as he can but with more informal commitment.


to dedicate himself, mainly, to “Kirtaniya sada Hari” this implies that his leadership, in this field, has to be attended, as a team, by All of us who identify 108% with preaching in the academic world, clear, according to our humble possibilities.


Although we are very far from continuing with the academic Sankirtana, for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada, as H. H. HpS has been doing in recent decades, still, out of respect, appreciation and reciprocity with him we are going to do it on 2 levels (one practical and the another conceptual and strategic).


At the first level (in practice) we think that the best way to maintain and grow all the seeds that SS HpS has sowng and cultivated in the academic world in Latin America and Spain is with excellent communication and organization through a page web, this is, the main reason for giving priority to this endeavor.


asa🐵

  1. website
  2. magazine
  3. bulletin


At this point we would like to humbly ask H. H. HpS, Tom Brown, Buck White and the entire ASA crew for their advice and suggestions. All contribution is welcome.


asa - above. 😃


In a fact that HH Hanumatpresaka Swami was the one who gave and still gives the perspectives and lines of work in NIOS, that is the basis on which we are organizing ourselves (Leverage the benefits of theoretical and practical knowledge of the West and Classical India. Reflect and dialogue about what the Psyche or Atma is (Bhagavad-gita 2.12 and others). According to these perspectives, for NIOS, its central activity coincides with the beginning of the objective declared in the Bhagavata Purana: “to distinguish reality from illusion for the sake of everyone.” To properly apply these concepts we need to develop a systematic dialogue about the vision and mission of NIOS.


Finally, although I am an unqualified monkey disguised as good intentions, let me offer you, for your Glorious Vyasa-puja, a brief message:

His tireless dedication to serving Srila Prabhupada has illuminated the spiritual path of all of us who have had the great fortune to know you.

We are determined that his legacy continues to inspire an authentic spiritual connection in academia with Srila Prabhupada's books.

Thank you very much for Guiding us with Wisdom, Humor and Love.

(Muchas gracias por Guiarnos con SHA SHA SHA: Sabiduría, Humor y Amor.

Note: This part of the message, if translated, is not understood.)


Eternally at your service, Bhakta Manuel.


ASA/HpS - we attaching some photos. any of them belong to you (manuel)?

your perspective and effort seems to be on the path.

seems you are realizing deep yogic principles and austeridades

thank you.

thanks to all involved in these efforts!

expect substantial results.

Todas Las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a sus discípulos sinceros y determinados como tú!!


Disculpa el silencio de estos últimos meses, he sido puesto, involuntariamente “en la congeladora”, pero ahora, debido a la inspiración de las actividades en torno a su Vyasa-puja hechos para Glorificarlo a usted y al Parampara estamos volviendo con mucha potencia.


Estos últimos meses, ARTd ha estado tratando de ser útil en la construcción de la web de NIOS para el mundo hispánico (está lista en un 80 %). Cuatro puntos más ha estado absorbiendo la energía del Thakurji en estos días: SOLARIS No 8, la edición en español de WOD, un libro de epistemología oriental comparada, en español, de Miguel Polo auspiciado por NIOS y finalmente desarrollar un dialogo estratégico de identidad acerca de quién soy? quiénes somos? ¿y que es NIOS?


En este informe me voy a centrar en la pagina web de NIOS hispánico, y el dialogo acerca de la identidad de NIOS. Empecemos.


Ahora que SS Hanumatpresaka Swami se ha retirado de toda labor administrativa (en NIOS y también en ISKCON) para dedicarse, principalmente, a “Kirtaniya sada Hari” esto implica que su liderazgo, en este campo, tiene que ser atendido, en equipo, por todos los que nos identificamos al 108% con la predica universitaria y de acuerdo a nuestras humildes posibilidades. Aunque estamos muy lejos de continuar con el Sankirtana académico para el placer de Srila Prabhupada como SS HpS lo ha venido haciendo en estas últimas décadas, aun así, por respeto, aprecio y reciprocidad con él vamos a hacerlo en 2 niveles (uno practico y el otro conceptual y estratégico).


En el primer nivel (en la práctica) pensamos que la mejor manera de mantener y hacer crecer todas las semillas que SS HpS ha sembrado y cultivado en el mundo académico en América latina y España es con una excelente comunicación y organización a través de una página web, esa es la razón principal de darle prioridad a este emprendimiento. En este punto queremos pedirle humildemente su consejo y sugerencias a SS HpS, Tom Brown, Buck White y a toda la tripulación de ASA. Todo aporte es bienvenido.


En un hecho que SS Hanumatpresaka Swami era quien daba y aun da las perspectivas y líneas de trabajo en NIOS, esa es la base sobre la cual nos estamos organizando (Tomar los beneficios del conocimiento teórico y practico de occidente y de la India Clásica. Reflexionar y dialogar acerca que es la Psique o Atma (Bhagavad-gita 2.12 y otros). De acuerdo a estas perspectivas, para NIOS, su actividad central coincide con el comienzo del objetivo declarado en el Bhagavata Purana: “distinguir la realidad de la ilusión por el bien de todos”. Para aplicar apropiadamente estas perspectivas necesitamos desarrollar un dialogo sistemático acerca de la visión y misión de NIOS.

 

Finalmente, aunque soy un mono descualificado disfrazado de buenas intenciones permítame ofrecerle, por su Glorioso Vyasa-puja, un breve mensaje:


Su dedicación incansable por servir a Srila Prabhupada ha iluminado el camino espiritual de todos los que hemos tenido la gran fortuna de conocerlo.

Somos monos determinados a que su legado continúe inspirando una autentica conexión espiritual en el mundo académico con los libros de Srila Prabhupada.

Muchas gracias por Guiarnos con SHA SHA SHA: Sabiduría, Humor y Amor.


Eternamente a su servicio, Bhakta Manuel.
