Srima Divya svarupa Das, writes in Whatsapp:

Hare krishna Gurudev. Dandavat pranam unto your lovely feet. AGTSP, GURUDEV AND GOURANGA. 80% construction of your sevashram is being completed. So you are being awaited very eagarly. Praying most dedicately to Radharani to bring you quite safely at radhakund. Gurudev, praying for your blessing to get the opportunity for leaving my job as early as possible. Dandavat pranam unto your lovely feet.


HpS/ASA - We feel that we are causing many disturbances in Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan, but he is sacrificing to keep us engaged with some little service. Devotees such as your self are giving opportunities to all of us to have some small Ashrama in Radha Kunda where we can all stay for at least a few days or forever as Radharani desires.

In Kapi Dhvaja we are putting our Calendar projections.

USA - March, April, May, June, July,

Spain - July, August, September,

Kolkata, Manipur, Delhi/Vrndavana - September.... Karika.


It is a long plan. Let us see what happens soon. Service on the banks of Radha kunda.

Hare Krsna dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept our sincere obeisances

Jaya Srila Prabhupada!


I hope you are well, surrounded by disciples and well-wishers and in good health.


HpS - ASA -- Srila Prabhupada gives one definition of disciple as one who follows the discipline of his teacher.

Hmmm?

Our discipline is based on 16-nice rounds and four principles strictly. This necessitates the wonderful early morning Kirtans, Bhajans etc.

By singing and dancing will I change the progress of the seasons?

No, we learn to integrate with them, to participate with Krsna's reality.

"Hare Krsna, Hare Rama".

Seeing this world as a reflection of the eternal reality for the purpose of waking up, or being here to help others wake up.

Back to work. Back to Goloka.


Well wishers are people who want us to wake up. Want us to be engaged again in our constitutional position.

Krsna is always growing, so people around us can also be always growing

So much to do!


I give you a brief report of my activities as regional representative and administrator of the Bhakti Sastri program.


HpS - We have no news of the Ministry of Education Executive Committee or Minister??!


  • Just today LAD shared with me the application for the certification of ISKCON La Paz as Bhakti Vaibhava exam center. We will review it carefully before sending it to Bhakta Rupa Prabhu who is interested in having an official program in the region. LAD has worked hard to achieve this, we hope that Srimad Bhagavatam will soon be consolidated in our countries.
  • The Bhakti Sastri program has about 35 test takers plus about 25 more in the coming weeks. Many started but few finished. However, the effort of my teachers has been enormously worth it. I am very grateful. Yugala Kisora ​​dd is doing a very professional job in examination and personal reports.
  • I am translating the Bhakti Sastri and Bhakti Vaibhava question bank given to me by Atul Krishna Prabhu. Hard but very rewarding work. For next year's courses, we will be able to have all the material in Spanish.
  • LAD and I, with the collaboration of Raman Reti dd and Indira Sakti dd, are working on an educational project that we want to present to you personally at the end of the year. We agree that it is a mature project and we hope to be able to please you.

HpS - We are really dedicated to the idea that the programs are good, must adjust to the environment, but really it is the teacher commitment that is always the driving energy.


We are fine, busy, aware, and greatly missing your personal association. We pray at your feet to see you soon.


Your servant

Gandharva das


HpS - Thank you. The Full Morning Program takes an effort for us to maintain. We are the technicians that make it work, but without the association of the participants 60% of the program's strength is gone.

Thank you.

We should expect that Krsna will send opportunities for us to do valuable, practical service to us. That is the most common sense thing to expect.

Then plans will follow as we get partners, and develop our teams.


My address book got bombed and we are reconstructing it. Please Whatsapp me Tapan misra Das' number.

Also we are developing the ISKCON-ASA educational programs, and hope to have Hispanomerica symposium between Krsna and January 1st:

Subra devi Dasi

Radhika ramana Das

Yadunandana Swami

You and LAD?

Who else?

Education In ISKCON

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

Thank you so much for your answer


I believe that an Hispanoamerican Symposium is a great idea. The guests on the list are top quality. Of course LAD and I can contribute our small amount of experience.


What about inviting Param Padam prabhu? I have a good relationship with him and he has so much to say on this topic. But If you want to make it broader, maybe we could ask for Mitravinda dd. and Harinam Gauranga das, regional representatives of Brazil and Colombia-Venezuela respectively. Both can contribute through very different experiences and perspectives. Brazil is a monster (in educational dynamics), while Colombia-Venezuela are fighting for a consolidation (formalization) of their pedagogical programs. What do you think Gurudeva? seems suitable? relevant?


HpS - This is exactly what I was hoping that you would have names of many people. We will make this "Letter Type", " Category A", then it will cycle into the Kapi Dhvaja and we can start building teams, making plans from there.

Nothing can stop the mercy of Nitai-Nimai.


Let me please help you organize this program.


*Thanks for the disciple - well wisher definitions beyond the institutional, social and superficial. Needed to be induced with this kind of solid concepts.


ASA - AgtSP!!!

Homenaje a / Homage to St. Teresa

3 years, 5 months ago by hps in Special Category A

La Visión de Santa Teresa


Homenaje en su día de desaparición el 15 de octubre del año 1582.

Cuentas de Conciencia 38 – Sevilla 9 de agosto de 1575


En el libro Cuentas de Conciencia de las obras completas de la Santa hay una increíble descripción de la mayor visión que la Santa tuvo. Ella aquí afirma que es su Señor.

2. “Súbitamente me vino un recogimiento con una luz interior tan grande que me parecía estar en otro mundo, y hallose mi espíritu dentro de sí, en una floresta y huerta muy deleitosa, tanto que me hizo recordar de lo que se dice en el Cantar de los Cantares: Veniat dilectus meus in hortum suum – venga Él, mi amado, a Su huerto y coma sus delicadas frutas”.

“Vi allí, en este Eliseo (lugar delicioso donde van las grandes almas), un joven negruzco con una extraña belleza; encima de su cabeza tenía como una guirnalda, que no corona, de gran pedrería, y muchas doncellas que andaban allí con Él, con ramos en las manos, todas en cánticos de alabanzas de Dios. Yo no hacía sino abrir los ojos para no distraerme y no me era posible quitar la atención de ello”.

“Había allí una música de ángeles y canto de pajaritos, de la que el alma gozaba, aunque yo con los oídos físicos no lo escuchaba, más el alma, estaba en aquel deleite. Yo miraba como no había allí otro hombre ninguno”.

3. “Esto duró más de hora y media –que no podía apartar mi vista ni mi atención, y con gran deleite, cosa diferente de otras visiones; y lo que de allí saqué fue más amor a Dios y tenerle más profundamente presente con aquella belleza, no es posible que fuera imaginación”.

The Vision of Santa Teresa


Tribute on the day of her disappearance on October 15, 1582.

Accounts of Conscience 38 - Seville, August 9, 1575


In the book Accounts of Conscience of the complete works of the Saint there is an incredible description of the greater vision that the Saint had. She here affirms who is her Lord.

2. “Suddenly a recollection came to me with an interior light so great that it seemed to me to be in another world, and my spirit was found within itself, in a very delightful forest and orchard, so much so that it made me remember what is said in the Song of Songs: Veniat dilectus meus in hortum suum - come He, my beloved, to His garden and eat its delicate fruits.

“I saw there, in this Eliseo (delicious place where great souls go), a blackish youth with a strange beauty; On top of his head he had like a garland, which does not crown, of great stones, and many maidens who walked there with him, with bouquets in their hands, all in songs of praise of God. I kept opening my eyes so as not to be distracted and it was not possible to take my attention away from it ”.

“There was a music of angels and song of birds there, which the soul enjoyed, although I did not listen to it with my physical ears, but the soul was in that delight. I looked like there was no other man there ”.

3. “This lasted for more than an hour and a half - that I could not take my eyes off nor my attention, and with great delight, something different from other visions; and what I got from there was more love for God and having him more deeply present with that beauty, it is not possible that it was imagination ”.


HpS - Amazing!!!!

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 as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm


Hare Krishna!!!

We are trying to balance a sane sadhana (4P, 16 GR, worshipping, reading).


Thanks a lot for your suggestion in the last letter. We agreed. We can start with a new group of kids.

Today we received a phone call from other school. They want a meet... apparently it's a job offer. This is a big school.

We will have the meeting, we will listen to the proposal and then we will decide what to do.


Thanks a lot for this Wonderful bulletin.

EDT (Patrak das & Antuanette )


HpS/TB/BW/UG - Thank you. Just finishing N. B. Hari Das' letter on marriage. Guess the same thing is true for choosing a job: How will this help me chant better rounds! 🙂

Does the name of God appear on the lips of the school leader who is interviewing me.

Maybe better to leave our marriage, job, body and return to Goloka!!! [Forever]?

All these relations in this world only have reality as educational games, no?

"You play the Mommy this time and I'll play the Daddy."

8th. Manuel's Report

3 years, 5 months ago by manuel in Special Category A

JAY SRI SRI GURU Y GAURANGA!!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada and his loyal disciples, like you, who have the attitude and determination to follow his instructions at all times and in all kinds of contexts. JAYA !!


First of all, it seems important to me to make a precision. ART das has been and is trying to serve you as efficiently as possible and although he lacks a lot to be a first class servant, even so, he is trying, but, prioritizes other things and does not give me time to express myself, which is a mistake, because if he is very busy anyway my report could be short and say "now we are super busy doing such a service and point" so I want to start this report by apologizing for this involuntary absence from in the blog. Done the precision, we started, this report, we have divided it into three parts:


PART I, FILM “DIARY OF A TRAVELING CREATURE, THE DEFINITIVE JOURNEY”. To analyze the details of the film SS HpS and the filmmaker Raúl Zevallos have had several fruitful meetings, at one point Raúl said: “Maharaja, you are very creative and you have so many ideas that, for me to take them to cinematography, I would need, not 6 months but 6 years ”.

As a result of these dialogues, we are currently in the CONSOLIDATION process which will culminate next Sunday 24 with a filming schedule based on four points:

1) AEC, daily spiritual activities, to record that part, Pablo Rivasplata (director of photography) will stay in Nueva Asoka-van for 11 days in a row.

2) SAC, academic and cultural Sankirtana through interviews with different personalities from Latin America (Ramon Mujica, Héctor Béjar and others) and from the USA (Radhika Raman, mother Subra and others) ASA - Sonu Shaymdasani et al!

3) EFE, ephemeris: Govardhana Hill (November 5), the disappearance of Srila Prabhupada (November 7). In this area there is also the International Symposium of Tribute to Srila Prabhupada for the 125 years of his Glorious Appearance, an event scheduled for the last week of November, and Maharaja's Vyasa-puja on January 3, 2022.

4) ETE, thematic axes based on the conferences that Maharaja has developed throughout his trip: 1.- World classical literature. 2.- Science and the Vedas. 3.- Bhaktivedanta Library-Books are the foundation. 4.- Interfe Dialogue and 5.- Practical Arts.

Maharaja am I forgetting something?

HpS - That we also forget things, so some thing is certainly forgotten.


PART II ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT. For the “Rama vijayotsava” Festival, the victory of SRI RAMA and the death of Ravana, on Friday the 15th, we did our first professional broadcast from New Asoka-van. Then on Sunday 17, at the Temple of Understanding in Chosica, SS Hanumatpresaka Swami gave his first face-to-face class along with a short cultural program, that day the filmmakers went with two professional cameras to record details of the festival, it was a very intense day. JAY SRI RAMA!!


PART III SOLARIS JOURNAL No 6

At the same time, SOLARIS has organized a painting contest and the tale of 108 words. We congratulate the devotees of Spain for their enthusiastic participation (they have sent 5 drawings, a poem and a story), we hope to see soon the work of the Goswami Academy in Houston and the devotees of Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Peru. Some suggestion?


That is all I can report for now, thank you so much for your merciful understanding of my humble service.

HARE KRISHNA, JAY SRI SRI PARAMA KARUNA GAURA-NITAY!!


HpS - It is third class!!!! Congratulations! It will save the world!!! Thank Bh. M.
