Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, Dear gurudeva!!!!!!!!!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to you.

Please accept our obeisances.

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

...HpS - Let us really, really, hope that we will never have to deviate ever again!!!

Ptrk - thanks a lot for all your help

...HpS - Everytime we write the Kapi Dhvaja now we are thinking of you. Sometimes we let our selves us colloquial phrases and jargon that is hard to translate, so be just as colorful in Spanish!!

ETD - We really appreciate your patience. We try to do our best.

These past 2 weeks we had interviews with 3 schools. We are very honoured they think of us as a good option. Let see what is the best for everybody in all aspects.

Next week we finish classes and I will say goodbye to our group.

HpS - I don't think it is good by. They will learn to value your association and teachings more and more as they go through life, and hopefully get back to their real life in the spiritual world as soon as possible.

Health is ok for a donkey with many experiences and challenges.

Thanks a lot for this Wonderful bulletin.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

PAOHO AGTSP

I send you the answers to your questions:

• Concerning to Param Padam's das round table. He is ok with your 5 minute introduction about the most suitable methods for the study and teaching of sastra.
• Everything to be recorded, distributed? Yes, every session will be recorded in a Youtube channel and delivered via Facebook. We're planning to edit an online document summarizing the ideas discussed.
• MOE blessings? Yes, I have invited Tapana Misra prabhu to share with us a 10 to 15 minutes introduction / blessings just before the first conference (given by your good self) on december 17 th. Still awaiting for his confirmation.
• One paragraph summary of each presentation in English within day after the event? Yes, the summarized report will be translated and distributed among english speaking memebers of NIOS, ASA and anyone that could be interested in.
• Get a report ready. Think you need to catch up with ArtD the same way you did with KkD, no? I have asked ARTD for a report in Spanish that I will translate to share during the December 12 session.

HpS - Hare Krsna! Hare Rama... Just talked with Abhiseka about the NIOS meeting on the 12th and maybe you, me and ArtDas can have a quick talk on Friday. Thank you so much. Please keep your priorities.

• Publish the results in Solaris? It will be great, we just need to give an academic form to the aforementioned technical report that we will share with the community of devotees.
• Concerning to Radhika Ramana das and Subhra mataji participation: we will send a few suggestions and questions for them to present during their extra time sessions.

Thank you Gurumaharaja

Our sincere obeisances

The symposium schedule has been set at 95%. All invited participants are excited about the potential of the event, we hope to be up to it. Some comments and doubts:

• The presentations will be broadcast by Zoom between December 17 and January 7 at 7:30 am Peruvian time.
• On December 25 and January 1 there will be no activity.
• You are invited to give the first conference (December 17 / 7:30 am) and the last one (January 7 / 7:30 am), on any of the 4 main topics.
• Maharaja Yadunandana and Maharaja Dhanvantari will give their presentations on January 27 and 29, respectively.
• There will be two sessions of only questions, answers and surveys by LAD and two roundtables by Param Padam das.
• You have been invited to the round table on December 23 (7:30 am). Topic: The most suitable pedagogical methods for teaching and studying the sastra (together with Yadunandana Swami, Baladeva das, LAD, Vraja Bhakti devi dasi and myself).

HpS/ASA - I declined because I just cannot follow the dialog during these sessions. Not my mother's tongue. 😛

Instead, we both thought it would be nice for me to make a five minute presentation at the start.

• As I understand it, Radhika Ramana prabhu and Subhra mataji will make their presentations at separate times from the temple. It would be excellent to know what day and time to advertise them in advance.

HpS/ASA - We must have misled you but we were thinking of them being a part of the program with the other speakers. This arrangement is fine though. 🤓

Why don't you poll your participants and see what topics would please them. Subhra DD is of course an experienced and senior educator and administrator in public and devotee primary schools, and can give information about the other schools in USA.

RRD grew up in home schooling and his mother is the greatest expert in the subject. He graduated from Oxford, has published three heavy books with Cornell University Press etc. and is now head his department of history and institute of religious studies at the oldest state university.

They could do some presentation and then question and answer.

Everything to be recorded, distributed?

MOE blessings?

One paragraph summary of each presentation in English within day after the event?

• LAD has joined the organizing committee as a consultant and organizer of activities.
• Indira Sakti and I will travel to see you from January 9 to 19. We cannot do it before because we will be in charge of the transmission and organization of the online programs. We will miss your Vyasapuja (which makes us very sad) but we will try to be at your service (which makes us very happy).

HpS - O.K. .

• I am attaching the calendar and the first poster of the event (there will be two).
• As you asked, to be able to board the ASA boat, I have managed to identify my archetypal form: A badger ...

HpS - Your American Indian name can be "Lives in the Earth".

*Of course I want to remain part of the NIOS directory, I was the first to reply to your email!!😋 . HpS Super. Get a report ready. Think you need to catch up with ArtD the same way you did with KkD, no?

**I had a meeting with Tapana Misra prabhu on very good terms. He sends you his greetings and obeisances.

ASA - Answers our previous questions.

Eagerly waiting for your comments.

HpS - Above, no? Publish the results in Solaris?

Hare Krishna, Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA AND HIS DETERMINED DISCIPLES LIKE YOU, JAY !!

I want to start by apologizing for delivering this report two days out of time, but this fortnight that has passed from November 18 to December 4 has been very intense and it is certain that the next fortnight will be even more intense.

• So, it is necessary to anticipate the details of the activities,
• adjust, if necessary, the calendar of these,
• and contribute to prioritizing the objective of consolidation of the Sankirtan of the ASA team
• (consolidating almost 50 years of Sankirtana is not an easy task).

Well let's get started.

• Oscar, Ana, Trilce and Ikal arrived in Nueva Asoka-van on Sunday, November 28. The HH HpS interview with Oscar and Ana is an important contribution of what has been done and what can be done in the field of Art and the Sacred.

• From December 1 to 4, Eugenia (the owner of the country house) arrived together with mother Nitya Kisori and mother Yasoda, they together with Parama Karuna, have prepared a very interesting shadow theater, the premiere will be on January 3.

• This week ARTD will have TPP ready with the corrections sent by Srinath Krishna Prabhu and Radhika Raman Prabhu. On the other hand, the Spanish translation team of the TPP, coordinated by Jayanta Prabhu, is already finishing the translation phase and is now in the fidelity phase of the translation and then style correction. The goal is to have both versions printed by Monday, January 3, as an offering, to the Guru-parampara in the Vyasa puja of H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami.

• Raúl and Pablo have just finished a clip of selected scenes showing the progress made to date with our DTC movie. Also H. H. HpS, Raúl, Pablo and ARTD had a meeting of almost three and a half hours to develop in more detail the structure of the two 24-minute films: The first film is to present the purpose of the trip, learn significant details about the messenger, and how this determined messenger develops his service.

It is analogous to Hanuman receiving the order from Sri Rama and becomes his messenger (Hanumatpresaka).

Then Hanuman and the monkeys begin to SEARCH for SITA.

The second film is the crew of the ship, that is, they are the people who participate and help the messenger to communicate his messages, especially, to the innocent (here the analogy is that Hanuman already found Sita, shows her the ring and prepares to SERVE SRI RAMACANDRA FOR THE RESCUE OF SITA DEVI).

• Finally, the Agreement between CEAS (Center for Asian Studies of the University of San Marcos) and NIOS is signed, the online event is called: MASTERS AND DISCIPLES, it will have two stages, a preliminary one with a round table to be held on December 10 and an International Symposium on February 9 and 10, 2022 where one of the central guests will be Dr. Samaresh Bandyopadhyay.

That's it for now, thank you so much for accepting this monkey's humble service. JAY SRI RAMA !!

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. Paoho. We almost go this Kapi Dhvaja off on time. Next issue better. This is a very , very nice report!!! Good Monkey!!! We edited a little bit, and it can be edited even more for logical structure of ideas, but it works.

1. TPP.
2. San Marcos.
3. DTC-UTC (Guests, Education Symposium, V-puja).
4. Solaris???

Thank you so much for doing and improving your service. So many people appreciate your work. So many!!!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva! 🙏🏻

Please, accept my humble obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

HARE KRISHNA!!!

Mitravinda dd.

HpS/ASA - Thank you so much for your excellent devotional service. All the Kirtan leaders should learn the word by word translations, no? Then the Kirtan will increase 700% potency! Also, everyone should try to keep strong volume in their transmission.

Thank you.

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

PAOHO AGTSP!!

• I have just sent a message to the representatives of the Ministry mentioning your comments.
• You said that it was not necessary to elaborate much on the subject of VAD but let me suggest the participation of Sarvabhamuma das and its Vanaprastha community program in Brazil. There are many people interested in a program of this nature.
• The same with Subhadra devi dasi. She leads a very successful early childhood education program, which attracts many children from 4 years to adolescence. Her program is very close to our reality and we believe that her participation can inspire and offer alternatives to those who wants or already have a similar program.
• On the other hand, Brazil has always stood apart given the language distance, but it is important to bring it closer to the development of Spanish-speaking communities. They have a lot to offer. Mataji can lead her presentation towards formative education rather than VAD.
• Sessions would preferably be at 7:30 am?

HpS - Sounds good to us. Others could be organized at other times during the day, week. We hope that ASA can continue to host programs Eg. When we get to Houston March 7th-17th.

• Indira Sakti dd is already working on the issue of visual communication. When we have something ready, we send it to you to receive your feedback.
• I had a conversation with Karuna Krsna prabhu for almost an hour. He has always been very understanding with me (which I appreciate) and he is right, for one reason or another I have worked unnecessarily independently in recent months. We have agreed that I will present my reports to them during the next week and keep in regular contact going forward.

HpS - ASA - Thank you! We are almost in tears to hear this. Thank you.

• ISKCON Chosica will cooperate with the Symposium by facilitating the temple hall for some activities, but it will not be able to do so in the organizational order due to his duties.

HpS - Yes, we can understand this. We sent a Whatsapp message to Karuna and he answered with voice mail to Abhirama, so we are all pretty much on the same page. I am trying to work properly with National Council, Zonal Secretary, GBC Ministry of Education etc. Trying to get Caitanya-candra Das whatsapp number to say hello to him.

We have to talk with Srila Prabhupada.

We have to talk with our friends in ISKCON.

We have to talk with the GBC.

Also, if our local Temple, Chosika, can look at some announcements for their social media that would help and I think within their range of ability. We love the Temple. It is so, so, beautiful.

• I haven't had much contact with Tapana Misra das lately. The relationship with the Ministry has been permanent with Bhakta Rupa das, for management and administration issues. However, I must deliver my report to the Minister at the end of the year in which I will propose some ideas. Communication is very intermittent, although I think that is a serious problem at ISKCON as an institution.

HpS - Yes. How are we, ASA/NIOS, doing? You got the notice of a NIOS Board of Director's Meeting on the 25th November? We haven't seen your response yet? Do want to, can you, continue as a Director next year?

• Depending on what you require from us for the Symposium, Indira Sakti dd and I will travel to Lima at the end of the year (we would love to be present at your Vyasapuja) and we will stay for approximately 10 days. I ask that you can meet me personally to discuss some issues related to education and the services I provide in this area. Hopefully you will allow us to visit the asram very frequently during our stay.

HpS - What dates??? Yes...

• I would like to be part of the organization of the Houston, Madrid and Calcutta Symposia, if you consider it pertinent and necessary. Being at your service means peace in my mind, Gurudeva.

HpS - You have to ask Uncle Gismo if you can be on board the ASA boat! 😁

Of course, that means that you have to join in your archetypical form. Prof. Miguel Polo is a rabbit.

• Here is the schedule as it is to date

HpS - Looks fine. Then other people can organize individual sessions. Eg. a symposium live and online from Chosika Temple with Mother Subra Devi Dasi, Radhika, Patraka et al.
