Letters to the editor

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to Guru Maharaj, H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami.

Please accept our humble obeisances ay your sweet lotus feet .

HpS - Can you see them? We are still looking for them through the fog! Dog, frog, bee feet?? !

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

I feel numb. Our Temple President HG Radhacharan Das Prabhuji just left his mortal body few hours back. Last week at the ICU, we took Maha-garland prasad, some Ekadasi prasad, Charana-amrita and Charan tulsi.

Prabhuji's condition had not deteriorated severely that time. Few days later CT was taken and Prabhuji developed COVID pneumonia. Yesterday , Prabhuji was given muscle relaxants and was kept on high flow oxygen therapy at ICU .

We lost Prabhuji today, he loved us so much , so compassionate and so gentle. I still treasure the set of masks he gave last year as a gift. How can I ever forget such an exalted Vaishnava?

HpS - Why should we? Did Krsna leave the Brijavasis or give them opportunity for even more real, intense association??

HG Banamali Prabhu and some devotees are going to the residence of Radhacharan Das Prabhuji for Harinam Sankirtan .

Last week we lost our head cook HG Narotama Das Prabhuji to COVID. The second wave here is terrifying. We beg for your mercy Guru Maharaj.

HpS - We already heard from Sriman Yamunesvara Das!! We had so much affection for Narottama Das. We'll they've taken the ship to Peru to do some work, but there will be telegrams, and we will meet again, to satisfy our heart's demands.

We are not attending temple Arti anymore. Everyday we offer Mangal arti to our Sri Gaura Nityai at home. Reading SB , Papa well ahead.....am trolling. Am at 4th canto Sati quits body. ...chapter 4. Attending zoom sessions every Saturday with a group of devotees.

HpS - ASA-Bharata, Mangala-arati Teleconference group? We do it Daily. About 40-devotees daily.

Forgive me Guru Maharaj....took a long time to write to you.....and the news is sad.

It is so difficult to bear....losing Pankajanghri Prabhu....and devotees here. Am too human....we know Krishna has better plans....and devotees will have better service in the spiritual world....but the heart is broken.....

HpS - Will you be one of the maids, childhood girl friends, of Subhadra in your next life and hear of the death of Abhimanyu?? ! Bigger heart-brakes are yet to come, but there is great success in Krsna's arrangements!

We pray to Sri Nrshimha Dev to always protect you dear Guru Maharaj

Your insignificant servant,

Sarad Gaurangi DD

HpS - Our altar attached.

We would like to visit ISKCON Manipur...



Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

I want to first apologize for not writing sooner.

ASA-HpS -- In harmony, we want to apo logize for not answering sooner!

You sent me the TPP edited document a couple of weeks back and I went through a little bit of the edited document only today.

Last couple of weeks have been crazy. My father in law got COVID in India. He lives in Nagpur and there was sever shortage of beds, oxygen cylinders and other medication. Divya Sri's cousin took him in a car at 5 am in the morning and after trying to get beds in several hospitals, finally got a bed at 8 pm. In the mean time we were calling people who were selling oxygen cylinders from here to get something. Thank fully by Krishna's mercy, he is discharged now and is doing fine.

HpS - https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/15/41/#bb16816 . Why we have not learned to act like Maharaja Yuddhisthira?? In the paragraph it directly talks about "life breathing"! Amazing. Fly around in the sky without air. Learn to drink and eat a subtler fare!

We had several devotees from Krishna House visit us this week and a few of them tested positive for COVID. Now the temple is back to lockdown again for a week. I feel too much of my environment and mind space is occupied with COVID rather than Krishna katha. Thankfully, with the service of teaching the Bhakti Sastri course, where we are currently doing Chapters 7-12, the association with Bhagavad Gita and Srila Prabhupada's purports are at least helping me contemplate on Krishna rather than just COVID.

But I can definitely feel that my Sadhana standards have dropped over the last two months. I feel very fatigued both physically and mentally. We are somehow pushing through because of your mercy.

I think the TPP has come out really well. I like how you have changed the font size of the pull-in quotes. It is now very clear to differentiate/visualize your commentary from the quotes. I have some thoughts on the other steps that need to be taken to publish the book. I would like you feedback on them.

1. Can we forward this to Abhirama Prabhu so that he can start typesetting? That way he can show you samples and we can finalize the formatting and design in parallel and when you finish the rest of the editing, the typesetting will be done very quickly since we have finalized the design.
2. We also need to think about the front and back cover design. Should we ask devotees in the blog to send in their designs from which you can choose Guru Maharaja? If we can do these things in parallel, we can get the book out as soon as your editing is complete.

HpS - ASA - We just sent another copy with our new edits to you and Art Das and R. R. Das today. Largely so that it doesn't get lost. We've edited all the Texts and most of the Appendices. Need to finish our ASA index and the BhVai question bank. We did more format editing.

Any comments are very nice, but if no time then after we finish the Appendices we can talk with ArtDas about the format. He is professional.

We would also like to come and see you when you visit Houston. Srirama Krishna Das will also be with us and we are planning to come there on the weekend (22-23 May). We wanted to know if it is ok for us to come and see you in person?

HpS - We pub lished the current calendar for the visits. 19-23AM we are in Nila-madhava Dhama. Then we go about 10AM to Sugar Land. Hard to associate there, but in NMD we can chat outside with proper social dish stance, no?? Call us on the Tele Phone if needed!

Respects to the Sri Rama Krsna Das et al.

Your servant

JAYA SRI SRI GURU AND GAURANGA !!

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

Since the previous report we have had a joint meeting of the technical team and the communications team of the Journal. During the meeting we apply and try to answer your questions in depth: What is SOLARIS for you? What is your motivation and perspective to be in SOLARIS?

Here are the answers:

Purnamasi d.d.: Contribute to the academic preaching of Gurudeva by his backbone which is SOLARIS. Use my nature and professional experience as a journalist and teacher.

Bhaktin Sandra Salazar: SOLARIS allows me to integrate my material and spiritual knowledge (I am a graduate in Visual Arts) I want to contribute my artistic skills and knowledge to the magazine. I like this project that gives spiritual knowledge through philosophy and art.

Jayanta d.: Pleasing Gurumaharaja. To engage in service with my academic contacts, I directly accept that perhaps my contribution may be limited, but it can be effective through my contacts.

Srutipriya d.d.: Two Motivations, One spiritual: Serving Maharaja HpS. And a professional: As I study Languages ​​at the University, in SOLARIS I can apply my knowledge in the service of reading, writing, reviewing texts, etc. in English and Spanish.

Govinda Pramodini d.d.: To engage directly in the service of Guru-maharaja. SOLARIS addresses the need to connect spirit and matter in the scientific and academic fields. The magazine gives me the opportunity to better use my skills.

Abhiram Thakur d.: Magazines like SOLARIS are permanent and powerful vehicles for transmitting spiritual knowledge. SOLARIS opens the doors for us to dialogue with and influence different academics from different spiritual traditions (Jesuits, Sufis, Buddhists, ...). Then by developing the magazine we can give Krishna consciousness, both to readers and writers of the academic world, and, above all give them the opportunity to connect with Srila Prabhupada through his books.

In the 3rd report we will have the responses of the members who could not attend.

In addition, we invite all readers of the Blog to express themselves in the sense of why a magazine like SOLARIS is important. We look forward to your valuable comments.

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

HpS - Thank you... There was also an administrative meetting with Prof. Miguel Polo, HpSwami, Abhiseka Singh (President of NIOS) and Art Das. Art D showed the mock-up of the Solaris web page and is supposed to send the HTML files to HpS so he and ASingh can make more detailed comments.

We look at NIOS, Solaris having a good chance of living and being very useful, but it is not guaranteed.

Desde el informe anterior a la fecha hemos tenido una reunión conjunta del equipo técnico y el equipo de comunicaciones de la revista. Durante la reunión aplicamos tratamos de responder con profundidad a tus preguntas: ¿Qué es SOLARIS para ti? cuál es tu motivación y perspectiva para estar en SOLARIS?

A continuación, las respuestas:

Abhiram Thakur d.: Las revistas como SOLARIS son vehículos permanentes y poderosos para transmitir conocimiento espiritual. SOLARIS nos abre las puertas para dialogar e influir con diferentes académicos de diferentes tradiciones espirituales (Jesuitas, Sufís, Budistas,…) entonces desarrollando la revista podemos dar conciencia de krishna tanto a los lectores como a los escritores del mundo académico y sobre todo darles la oportunidad de que conecten con Srila Prabhupada a través de sus libros.

En el 3er informe tendremos las respuestas de los miembros que no asistieron.

Además, invitamos a todos los lectores del Blog a que se manifiesten en el sentido de porque es importante una revista como SOLARIS. Esperamos sus valiosos comentarios.

Hare Krsna Gurudev, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las glorias a sus sinceros sirvientes como Usted!

Esperamos que su dolor de cabeza se haya ido.

ASA - Ha ido, pero ya allergia, pollen, primavera, la mas fuerte como recuerdo. Luchando minimizar. en fin acceptando utilizar medicina anti-alergica recomendado por Amit. Nuestra docotor.

Y ya la munyeca derecho en dolor. 🙂

Pienso es misma para Vds

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.

Sorry for our slowness, we are editing the DCT videos. Sessions 1 and 2 of the Inter-fe dialogue are now available at Asa Audiovisual. The third is on the way.

https://youtu.be/XeLUKBeYDAg

HpS - ASA --- We have a lot of room for improvement, but we can only pray that sincere people will tolerate the lower quality to get the message. I think the originals are still at GoToMeeting. I will try to send you the links by Whatsapp again.

https://youtu.be/cvFSNtjwu3Y

We added a little animated introductory title, please let me know what you think about it.

HpS - Best part of the show!

Regarding the quality of the video: we noticed that the files downloaded from Facebook Asa Carnaval have lower quality than those from GoTomeeting. It is not something we can improve now, but in future videos. I also think that the quality is acceptable. Can you send me the PPT? to the WhatsApp of Ambarisa or to asaudiovisual.....com. I've been searching jayarama.us but couldn't find them.

HpS, TB/BW - We just sent the PPTX to your gmail. There are two more wcl, wold classical literature, but I don't know if we used those?

We also sent the View link to Ambarisa Das's Whatsapp and the GTM Account Name and Passcode. Maybe you can log-on and access stuff directly. Didn't work last time.

Also, we downloaded the first IFD show and then tried to send it by We Transfer. Files sent to

asaudiovisual. . . com 1 item, 415 MB in total ・ Expires on 12 May, 2021

About the language on the YouTube cover: Most of the presentations are bilingual, the animated introduction in the videos is bilingual, but when designing the cover of each of the videos (which is seen as a thumbnail on the Asa channel) The text is very long if I include both languages. So I did them in Spanish. Does this sound good to you? or should they be in english?

HpS - I think English with with little note "Bilingue", no? It is more global language.

Thank you very much Gurudev for your infinite patience and care.

Thank you for engaging us in service.

HpS - ASA - We are pigs, dogs, monkeys and asses trying to be of some service to Guru, Gauranga and Devotee!!!

Such a nice movement.

=-=-=-=-=

Disculpas por nuestra lentitud, estamos editando los videos de DCT. Ya estan disponibles en Asa Audiovisual las sesiones 1 y 2 del dialogo Interfe. La tercera esta en camino.

https://youtu.be/XeLUKBeYDAg

https://youtu.be/cvFSNtjwu3Y

Agregamos un pequeño titulo introductorio animado, por favor déjeme saber que piensa acerca del eso.

En cuanto a la calidad del video: notamos que los archivos descargados de Facebook Asa Carnaval tienen menor calidad que los de GoTomeeting. No es algo que podamos mejorar ahora, pero si en los futuros videos. Igualmente pienso que la calidad es aceptable. Puede usted enviarme los PPT? al whatsapp de Ambarisa o a [email protected]. Estuve buscando en jayarama.us pero no pude encontrarlos.

Acerca del idioma en la portada de Youtube: La mayoria de las presentaciones son bilingues, la introduccion animada en los videos es bilingue, pero al diseñar la portada de cada uno de los videos (la que se ve como miniatura en el canal de Asa) El texto es muy largo si incluyo ambos idiomas. Entonces las hice en español. Esto le parece bien? o deberían ser en ingles?

Muchas gracias gurudev por su infinita paciencia y cuidado. Gracias por ocuparnos en servicio.
