Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las glorias a sus fieles discípulos como Usted!

-According to what we talked about Asa audiovisual in the last meeting, reviewing the list of videos and the DTC-UT powerpoints that we already have, I find that it is not necessary for you to send the Gotomeeting files. We can do it with the Asa Carnaval + Power point audios and achieve the same quality.

-We changed the covers to English of Inter-religious Dialogue.

-We cut the beginning of all the videos and only leave the first recitation of the verse.

Today we have:

1-DTC-UT- ID: 4 sessions available on Youtube

2-DTC-UT-BVL: 3 sessions available on youtube

3-DTC-UT-C & V: 3 sessions. Edited 40%

4-DTC-UT- LM: 2 sessions. ready to Editing

5-DTC-UT- FA: 1 session: ready to editing

Questions

-We are not sure what to do with the Upendra classes, we think it would be good to cut it out of the DTC-UT and make a compilation of his readings separately. What do you think?

HpS - Yes!! 😐

-About the special session on World Literature-Ramayana that you gave by Zoom for Iskcon Huston. Do you think it would be good to include it?

HpS - At this time, no.

Madavendra Puri has a much better internet connection and he is helping us to upload the videos.

ASA - He is great benefactor of poor, weak people like us.

Please let us know what we can improve.

ASA - Nothing now. The channel is 100% better. We are sending university graduates there already.

Thank you very much for engage us in this beautiful service and please excuse our limitations.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I wish you are in good health, the body is a disease, but as Srila Prabhupada said, we make good use of this bad bargain.

Well, I have some ideas for the book project that connects Don Quixote de la Mancha with the Vedas.

I thought it would be interesting to ask yourself this question:

What if Don Quixote had read the Vedas?

As a result, I thought: we can start the book from the end, just before Don Quixote left his body.

It could be that somehow a trunk arrived from the East with some very old texts (vedas), to Don Quixote's house. He was a lover of reading, so in a short time he devoured all the texts.

ASA - Vedas would be incomprehensible... Mahabharata, BG, SB.

After that Don Quixote begins to remember all his adventures, and in this way each story can be connected with the Bhaktivedanta perspective.

I have some proposals to analyze for some of the Don Quixote chapters, themes that can be dealt with:

Volume 1

C3-meditation on his beloved to ask for help

C 13 - to whom you direct your triumphs

C 14 - love must be free

C 17 - Elixir of Recovery

C 21 - greed for a kingdom

C 25 - penances for his love

C 26 - prayer of ave maria

C 30 - fidelity to his beloved

C 39,40,41 - escape for his beloved

# release of prisoners

C46 - Cage of Don Quixote

C 52 - procession

---

Volume 2

C1 - documented evidence of the knights (sastra)

C8 - control of the senses

C 11 - Sancho is insulted and Quixote wants revenge, but Sancho stops him

C 12 - Life as a comedy

C 13 - Sancho speaks in a good way about his boss

C 16-Don Quixote convinces an errant not to frustrate his son's dream of being a poet (to follow nature)

C 18- sancho's sadness after leaving the abundance of the stay with a character

C 22 - doing clean business

C 26 - protector of the weak

C 27 - principles of a ksatriya, when to use violence

C 30 - don quixote meditates on his love

C 36 - the exemplary character of a king

C 42 - # Don quixote advises sancho how to be a good ruler

C 44-DQ reaffirms his fidelity to Dulcinea

C 60-The bandit kills whoever does not comply with his wishes (demon)

C 67 - life of shepherds

C 71 - pain for enjoyment

Well, they are just ideas, I did this by analyzing a summary of both volumes.

In this way, after Don Quixote remembers all the events, thanks to the wisdom of the Vedas, he is "sane" again, and leaves his body understanding the madness in which he was immersed, but perhaps that also takes away many interesting aspects of the work, which are related to its nobility, justice, etc ... Well, I would like to know what you think, what you suggest, how you would like us to carry out this service, etc.

Thank you very much Gurudeva for allowing me to do this, I know I can do it if I have mercy on him, Srila Prabhupada and all the parampara.

My obeisances

HpS-ASA - It is very good work and I do not know DQ well enough to make any comment. Hope some devotee will read this and make a comment.

We thought of something like a wandering Sannyasi gets to Iberia and meets Cervantes and they have discussions.

More than themes I would suggest identifying specific storys in DQ and then have Sannyasi/Poet give contrasting SB storys.

Hare Krsna.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Deseo se encuentre bien de salud, el cuerpo es una enfermedad, pero como dijo Srila Prabhupada, hacemos el buen uso de esta mala ganga.

Bueno, tengo algunas ideas para el proyecto del libro que conecta Don Quijote de la Mancha con los Vedas.

Pensé que sería interesante hacerse esta pregunta:

¿Qué pasaría si Don Quijote hubiera leido los vedas?

A raíz de eso, pense: podemos comenzar el libro desde el final, justo antes de que el Quijote abandonara su cuerpo.

Podría ser que de alguna manera llegara un baúl desde oriente con unos textos muy antiguos (vedas), a la casa de Don Quijote. El era un amante de la lectura, por lo que en poco tiempo se devoró todos los textos.

Luego de ello Don Quijote comienza a recordar todas sus aventuras, y de esa manera se puede conectar cada historia con la perspectiva Bhaktivedanta.

Tengo algunas propuestas a analisar para algunos de los capítulos de Don Quijote, temáticas que pueden ser tratadas:

Tomo 1

C3 - meditación en su amada para pedir ayuda

C 13 - a quien dirije sus triunfos

C 14 - el amor debe ser libre

C 17 - elixir de la recuperación

C 21 - codicia por un reino

C 25 - penitencias por su amor

C 26 - rezo de ave maria

C 30 - fidelidad a su amada

C 39,40,41 - fuga por su amada

# liberación de los presos

C46 - enjaulamiento del quijote

C 52 - procesión

---

Tomo 2

C1 - pruebas documentadas de los caballeros (sastra)

C8 - control de los sentidos

C 11 - Insultan a Sancho y quijote quiere vengarse, pero sancho lo detiene

C 12 - La vida como una comedia

C 13 - Sancho habla de buena manere de su jefe

C 16 - convence el quijote a un andante a no frustrar el sueño de su hijo de ser poeta (seguir la naturaleza)

C 18- la tristeza de sancho luego de dejar la abundancia de la estadia con un personaje

C 22 - hacer negocios limpios

C 26 - protector de los débiles

C 27 - principios de un ksatriya, cuando usar la violencia

C 30 - don quijote medita en su amor

C 36 - el caracter ejemplar de un rey

C 42 - # Don quijote aconseja a sancho como ser un buen gobernante

C 44 - DQ reafirma su fidelidad a Dulcinea

C 60 - El bandolero mata a quien no cumple con sus deseos (demonio)

C 67 - vida de pastores

C 71 - dolor por disfrute

Y bueno, son solo ideas, esto lo hice analizando un resumen de ambos tomos.

De esta manera, luego de que Don Quijote recuerda todos los eventos, gracias a la sabiduría de los Vedas, vuelve a estar "cuerdo", y abandona su cuerpo entendiendo la locura en la que estaba inmerso, pero tal vez eso también le quite muchos aspectos interesantes que tiene la obra, los cuales se relacionan con su nobleza, justicia, etc ... Bueno, me gustaría saber que opina usted, que sugiere, cómo le gustaría que llevaramos a cabo este servicio, etc.

Muchas gracias Gurudeva por permitirme hacer esto, se que podré hacerlo si tengo su misericordia, la Srila Prabhupada y todo el parampara.

JAYA SRI SRI GURU AND GAURANGA !!

ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA !! and his loyal and dedicated disciples like you.

Since the previous report to date we have had four meetings, two with the technical team and two with the communications team, then we had a very good joint meeting of both teams with Filmmaker Raúl Zevallos (mother Vrisabhanu-nandini and Ambarisa also participated , the meeting lasted almost three hours).

An important point of the meeting with Raúl was to define the conceptual framework of the Film: THE DEFINITIVE JOURNEY is based on the perspective that the life of SS Hanumatpresaka Swami is a practical and inspiring example that comes from the lineage of devotees consecrated to devotional service for pleasure of the Guru and Krishna.

From that point of view, the film seeks to glorify the Parampara because its objective is to show and demonstrate that spiritual success is based on pleasing the Guru and Gauranga. Based on this perspective, the characteristics of the SS HpS personality are shown: humble, merciful, erudite, austere, transparent and truthful, all of this well kneaded with a good dose of joy, irony and fine humor. Our initial goal is to make a 3-5 minute trailer for the month of July.

HpS -ASA - We disagree violently. 😎 More below.

Right now we need to gather as much information as possible about the life of SS HpS. If someone from the community who reads and writes in this blog has photos, videos, writings, anecdotes, audios or any material that they consider valuable to be used in the film, please write to us at: [email protected]

HpS - ASA - We really like this title: DIARY OF A TRAVELING CREATRURE - The Ultimate Trip. Is it bad in Spanish? Viaje Ultima? "Definative" is very booring, technical word in English.

Next it is Hanumatpresaka lila. Hanuman looking for Sita to give Her Rama's ring and message, and then take back Sita's Crest jewel and Her message to Sri Rama.

Trying to build bridges between the world of Rupa Goswami and other eg. C. G. Jung. and Bh. Siddhanta Sarasvati. Exchange goods.

Huber Robinson is one personality, HpS another, but Srila Prabhuapada, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami is the most prominent personality through them and Tom Brown, Buck White, Uncle Gismo... It is the Diary of Tom Brown et al looking for Sita... Yes, a trailer!

What we have to offer to Sita is coming up at YouTube, ASA Audio Visual.

O.K.???

On the other hand, as we said in report No. 2, in this report, we are going to complete the responses of the members, who were absent.

1st question: What is SOLARIS for you?

NITYA KISORI D.D. / It is a preaching with an inclusive approach, which challenges us to communicate our philosophy in academic terms to audiences with other beliefs. We must learn to demonstrate the value of our tradition, and be willing to exchange ideas with others, without seeking to impose our beliefs. People we come in contact with are not necessarily going to become temple devotees, but they can be enriched by a credible exposition of the Vedic Vaisnava tradition.

ASA - So nice! We would suggest "...in academic terms ..." is O.K. if we look at it like Plato's Academy, where Drama was one of the principle subjects, no?

RATI MANJARI D.D. / SOLARIS connects us with the University, this is of utmost importance now for the growth of ISKCON. It is the opportunity to present the importance of our knowledge and the Culture of our spiritual Tradition. It is a means of academic presentation with a new perspective and image.

ASA - Same as Nitya-kishori DD. University is O.K. if it includes Bernardo Nantes university and Ivan Rodriguez of Ricardo Palma's idea of university.

JITENDRIYA D. / SOLARIS represents for me one of the testimonies of Gurudeva's work. It is one of the extensions of his thought and personality and of his vision with respect to the spiritual and temporal world, the call to the intelligences to build a future where tolerance and respect are unshakable principles. It will be one of the vehicles to achieve the permanence of the knowledge of Guru-Maharaja, surpassing space and time even in the absence of his creator on this material plane.

ASA - Wow!

2nd question: What is your motivation and perspective to be and stay in SOLARIS?

NITYA KISORI D.D. / Serve and please Krsna. Please my spiritual master and Srila Prabhupada. Please my older brothers who occupy me in service. Associate with devotees in the context of devotional service. Stay connected to practical devotional service and preaching. Learn to present my ideas in a meaningful way to any audience. Demonstrate the intellectual and philosophical value of our tradition. Expand the impact of our philosophy for the spiritual benefit of all.

RATI MANJARI D.D. / Gurudeva is our Sun, that is reflected in the magazine. This service represents a privilege for me because I can serve you directly. Another point is the Sadhu sanga with the devotees.

JITENDRIYA D. / I am motivated by the mercy of the Supreme through Gurudeva, because this service is something unexpected. To be able to develop the talents and knowledge sometimes dormant in the service of my Guru is a great motivation. The youth, energy and qualities of my sisters and brothers are also a motivation for me because teamwork pursuing the same cause is a spiritually rewarding experience. I hope to continue learning from everyone and to be able to serve my teacher effectively and consistently through his work.

Please excuse the delay in the report, next time I will start writing my report 2 days before ekadasi and I will send it on the same day of ekadasi.

HpS-ASA -- Ha! Ha! Ha! I also, "will" to complete the KDh more timely, and it is improving, but our "will" is so small. Real but small. It hope that Krsna wills that we get the work done on time.

That's it for now, thank you very much, HARE KRISHNA

HpS - ASA -- We see Solaris as meant to follow the DTC-UT.

Very important. We should do one part focused on Quixote, no? For this we can hopefully get full support from Ramon Mujica and the Fundacion Real Cervantes, no?

Desde el informe anterior a la fecha hemos tenido cuatro reuniones, dos con el equipo técnico y dos con el equipo de comunicaciones, luego tuvimos una muy buena reunión conjunta de ambos equipos con el Cineasta Raúl Zevallos (también participaron Vrisabhanu-nandini y Ambarisa, la reunión duro casi tres horas).

Un punto importante de la reunión con Raúl fue definir el marco conceptual de la Película: EL VIAJE DEFINITIVO se basa en la perspectiva de que la vida SS Hanumatpresaka Swami es un ejemplo practico e inspirador que proviene del linaje de devotos consagrados al servicio devocional para el placer del Guru y Krishna. Desde ese aspecto la película busca glorificar el Parampara porque su objetivo es mostrar y demostrar que el perfeccionamiento espiritual se basa en complacer al Guru y a Gauranga. En base a esa perspectiva se muestran las características de la personalidad de SS HpS: Humilde, misericordioso, erudito, austero, trasparente y veraz todo eso bien amasado con una buena dosis de alegría, ironía y humor fino. La meta inicial que tenemos es hacer un tráiler de 3 a 5 minutos para el mes de julio.

En estos momentos necesitamos acopiar la mayor cantidad de información acerca de la vida de SS HpS. Si alguien de la comunidad que lee y escribe en este blog tiene fotos, videos, escritos, anécdotas, audios o cualquier material que considere valioso para ser usado en la película por favor escribanos a: [email protected]

Por otro lado, tal como dijimos en el informe No. 2 en este informe vamos a completar las respuestas de los miembros que faltaban.

1era pregunta: ¿Qué es SOLARIS para ti?

NITYA KISORI D.D. / Es una predica con enfoque inclusivo, que nos desafía a comunicar nuestra filosofía en términos académicos para públicos con otras creencias. Debemos aprender a demostrar el valor de nuestra tradición, y estar dispuestos a intercambiar ideas con los demás, sin buscar imponer nuestras creencias. Las personas con las que tengamos contacto no necesariamente van a volverse devotos de templo, pero podrán enriquecerse con una exposición fidedigna de la tradición védica vaisnava.

RATI MANJARI D.D. / SOLARIS nos conecta con lo Universitario, esto es de suma importancia ahora para el crecimiento de ISKCON. Es la oportunidad de presentar la importancia de nuestros conocimientos y la Cultura de nuestra Tradición espiritual. Es un Medio de presentación Académica con una nueva perspectiva e imagen.

JITENDRIYA D. / SOLARIS representa para mi uno de los testimonios de la obra de Gurudeva. Es una de las extensiones de su pensamiento y personalidad y de su visión con respecto al mundo espiritual y temporal, el llamamiento a las inteligencias para construir un futuro donde la tolerancia y el respeto sean principios inamovibles. Será uno de los vehículos para lograr la permanencia del conocimiento de Guru-Maharaja sobrepasando el espacio y tiempo incluso ante la ausencia de su creador en este plano material.

2da pregunta: ¿Cuál es tu motivación y perspectiva para estar y mantenerte en SOLARIS?

NITYA KISORI D.D. / Servir y complacer a Krsna. Complacer a mi maestro espiritual y a Srila Prabhupada. Complacer a mis hermanos mayores que me ocupan en servicio. Asociarme con los devotos en el contexto del servicio devocional. Mantenerme conectada al servicio devocional práctico y a la prédica. Aprender a exponer mis ideas de una manera significativa ante cualquier público. Demostrar el valor intelectual y filosófico de nuestra tradición. Expandir el impacto de nuestra filosofía para el beneficio espiritual de todos.

RATI MANJARI D.D. / Gurudeva es nuestro Sol, eso se refleja en la revista. Este servicio representa un privilegio para mí porque puedo servirlo directamente. Otro punto es el Sadhu sanga con los devotos.

JITENDRIYA D. / Me motiva la misericordia del Supremo a través de Gurudeva, porque este servicio es algo inesperado. Poder desarrollar los talentos y conocimientos a veces adormecidos al servicio de mi Guru, es una gran motivación. La juventud, energía y cualidades de mis hermanas y hermanos son también una motivación para mí pues el trabajo en equipo persiguiendo una misma causa es una experiencia espiritualmente gratificante. Espero seguir aprendiendo de todos y poder servir de forma efectiva y consecuente a mi maestro a través de su obra.

Disculpe la demora en el informe, la próxima vez comenzaré a escribir mi informe 2 días antes de ekadasi y lo enviaré el mismo día de ekadasi.

Eso es todo por ahora, muchas gracias, HARE KRISHNA

Gurudeva, quería preguntarle:

¿Puedo presentar la versión en español de Udilo Aruna el viernes 9 de Julio?

Ese día es la desaparición de Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, por lo que pensé que sería auspicioso compartirlo en la clase de ese día. ¿Qué opina usted?

Muchas gracias

HpS - ASA - Thank you very much for your participation in the ASA FMP! It keeps us alive! From our perspective it seems very nice. We will pencil it into our Calendar.

Seems we need to coordinate with Srinivasa Acharya Das and Art Das. 7.30AM Class.



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

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you.

Please accept our humble family obeisances.

As every two weeks:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups

Sadhana is going well. Family is helping with worshiping sometimes.

ASA - Thank you!! Whole neighborhood should help. Temple should organize regular festivals on tour. Come to different places in Peru.

Today I received the second vaccine. Everything is ok for now. Now that Health is more balanced, we are adjusting our diet (Sattvic). Next week we will receive our diploma on "Educational coaching, neuropedagogy and talent management".

ASA - From whom? Can we see each other while we are in Peru? Where can we lease [to buy] as hacienda for at least six months? DTC - UT. Patraka Das.

We continue with classes everyday with young boys and girls. This week we star Geography classes, and our project is to make interviews to people from other countries. For that our students will interview some devotees. They can share not only about their countries but also about their life.

ASA - Make life long friends. Need people from India?

As always this bulletin is one of our best foods!

ASA - Non fattening! Maybe it replace the New York Times. 😂 😂 😂

Thanks a lot

EDT (Patrak das & Antuanette )

Old age is a good friend for a devotee - SP

Are we becoming spiritually advanced or senile dementia?

Both?

Our Short-term Memory goes and it even becomes more difficult to drive. Yet, this forces us to operate more on habits and intelligence, rather than the mental platform. That is good, because the immediate memorys may go, but the deeper Bhava, Buddhi, intelligence will survive.
