Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to you

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Guru Maharaj thank you so much for replying to my previous letter

Guru Maharaj I had sent the edited copy japa joe in the month of July 15th 2020 through email, and have again forwarded you the copy of it through email today. Please take a look at it whenever you get some time and guide me on how I should proceed with it.

Guru Maharaj the Bhakti Shastri Course with Gopal Hari Prabhu will finish in April 2021 and after that he will be conducting the test.

We are on the last book, Bhagavad Gita and have completed 6 Chapters, 12 Chapters left which will take around 12 weeks approximately Guru Maharaj.

Please guide us Guru Maharaj

Whatever you think is right we are ready to do that Guru Maharaj. 

Yours Servant

Divya Sri Devi Dasi

HpS - ASA -- AgtSP! Paoho. Our life is typical Kali-yuga, any Yuga, catastrophy: 'Dukhalayam asasvatam...", "Kalau doser nidhe rajan...".

Yet there really is one good thing. If we chant HK/HR following the mode of Srila Prabhupada we can get perspective for our Karma, Jnana and Mystic Yoga work. We can worship the Deity!!!

Is it O.K. to finish the Bh.S. program, in April, and then take Second Initiation?

Sama, dama, tapo, saucam.... has your service brought you so a nice Brahminical standard eg. regular program during the Brahma muhurta continuing until 9AM... etc? Understand your Varna and Ashrama in a basic sense?

Of course, initiation as Dvija means initiation, starting that life. We all must continue that until we are Goswamis and acharyas.

We want to look at editing Japa Joe but in hierarchy it seems to come about third or fourth. Don't give up on it. Have other devotee look at your work and make report.

Hare Krsna!!! Next post. :>>> Thank you.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja.

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Though I was working on creating the reading course, I found that the professor's expectations for what has to be predetermined are quite high. He wants me to read 1500 pages (in 13 weeks) about four concepts from Jung and the Gaudiya Vaishnava perspective that directly relates to those concepts. Thereafter, I have to write 4 papers on the 4 topics. He wants me to provide the list of reading material tomorrow. Especially since the semester already started, I am feeling that I may not be able to finalize all aspects in time. Please let me know what your advice is Guru Maharaja. Please forgive me for taking so much of your time 🙏

Your insignificant servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi

HpS - Hare Krsna. This has been very nice effort. I think it is too much, too soon. You might send our regards and thanks to the Professor, and mention that your resources for the course development would have been: Prof. Ravi Gupta, https://history.usu.edu/faculty/faculty-directory/ravi-gupta, and Hanumatpresaka Swami (Prof. Huber Robinson) Wikipedia bio, and they are thinking also that there needs to be more individual, personal reading at your own pace before such a concentrated study was made.

O.K.

Have you read the auto biography?

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Thank you so much. I will read the Britannica article and put "Memories, Dreams, and Reflections" first on the list for next semester. Guru Maharaja, the professor works on interfaith dialogue and theologies of religious pluralism. I was wondering if you could guide me on how I can get started on relating Jung's autobiography with our philosophy (eg., which sastra to focus on) so that I can present a basic course structure to him. Thank you so much, Guru Maharaja.

Your servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi

HpS - ASA -- AgtSP. Paoho. I would suggest you just start with the Bhagavad Gita and SB, and as you read Jung's texts you can note topics on philosophy and metaphysics that the Gita and Bhagavata Purana cover and then consult us and others and then include the relevant citations from these two texts.

I will write a letter to Shonu and Bernardo now.

Our classes for Bhaktivedanta diploma,

For the Mayapura Institute,

On ZOOM,

Will start next Monday, Feb 1st, from 16-18:30 IST, 4.30 - 7AM Nashville Time,

On Mahārāja Sagara and Lord Rama, SB Canto 9, Chapters 8 to 12.

Then February 15-19th will be Canto 9, Chapters 19-24.

We didn't post this first session on our cell phone calendar so we missed it.

Radhika-nagara Das was sharp enough to remind us. He is only 47-years old, young man!

To avoid the Zoom address going public and risking hackers joining, we will give the Zoom address to just a few people individually and most everybody else can watch it on Facebook.

So . . . who wants the Zoom address, especially for Facebook sharing?

-0-0-

Obviously we will have to concentrate on preparing our teaching material. We will not be able to join the FMP during those days, and our voice and mind will be exhausted after 2.5-hours of lecturing daily.

Thank you so much,

HpS, Brown Tom and White Buck

Maharaja...Dandavats!...We are looking to gather a team of devotees to put together a module of teacher training specifically for online teaching...Under our current circumstances, obviously required urgently....Could you possibly consider some of your students who might be qualified and available to be involved?

ASA - Anyone can help? Don't be timid.

Hare Krsna, Maharaja and ASA team

PAMHO, AGTSP!

May everything be harmony and Ananda for this great team.

I appreciate the mercy of allowing the devotees to share their achievements.

For all of them this was a great adventure of service, for some it meant a challenge, overcoming fears, difficulties etc and for others an opportunity to express their ideas and understanding. At the end of each class they felt very happy and all the collaborators too.

-In total there were 17 devotees who exposed the prayers of Reyna Kunti.

-Canto 1 chapter 8 to text 1 to 45 was displayed. Here i have a consult: from text 46 to 52 correspond to Yudhistira Maharaja. this part also exposed?

-Now that this chapter is over. What other chapter is exposed? Or do we start again with the prayers of Queen Kunti?

-There is a group of devotees who are always collaborating as special guests and in publicity Jahnava dd and Mitravinda dd. etc.

-Efforts have been made to involve all ASA devotees (FMP participants and listeners from the SB class).

Can we continue like this or do we make changes? What do you say?

-Regarding the presentation of the classes, what should we improve?

Once again I appreciate the opportunity it gives us to approach the SB with seriousness and commitment.

May Sri Nrsimhadeva bless the ASA team and everyone.

Whit affection

HpS-ASA - What would you like to read and discuss? Continuing with M. Yuddhisthira is fine. https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/3/14/ Might also be nice? What topic do you want to study? Want to start a curriculum for several years? Bh Vai?? Have been very nice classes?
