URGENT - Calendar Change - Mayapura Classes

4 years, 2 months ago by hps in Special Category A, Hot Topics, Calendar Development

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

Atul-krsna Das writes:


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.

Urgent: Report and consult about SB classes on monday-

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?

Project: Agroecological and Cultural Village "Nueva Asokvan"

4 years, 2 months ago by abhiramdas in Special Category A, Calendar Development

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

All glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami!!


All the members of this project have resolved the fundamental questions: Who are we? Can we work as a team, and how are we going to make this project come true?


To date we are: p. Raghunatha, p. Uddhava, p. Gadai Gauranga and his wife his mother Nadiya, Nitya-kisori mataji, p. Laksmi-Narayana, Maria and me.

Summary of progress made.


ASA - Many hands make light labor!



1. With Prabhu Uddhava, disciple of Prahladananda Swami (he is a forestry engineer, an expert in agrarian issues with 40 years of experience) we are in the preliminary stage of locating and formalizing the property.

We have located two properties, one in Zuñiga (Cañete), to the south, three hours from Lima and another in Pativilca, to the north, at 3 or 3.30 hours.

We are also evaluating, Canta, Huarochirí and San Mateo. As you mentioned that Pamashto is very far (20 hours from Lima), we are locating the property within a radius of no more than 4 hours from Lima, okay?


ASA-Uncle Gismo - It must be within 45-minutes of a city where there is a university, no? Must be land for ASA and other land that friends of ASA can buy. Water. Maybe in Ecuador???


2. With the Ecological House of the Catholic University and Walter Leon we are seeing a project to build ecological houses, we are baptizing this model as RAM house (Rural, Anti-seismic and Multipurpose). They will also advise us on the use of wind energy and solar panels. Any suggestion?


HpS - Grass converts solar power, oxen and bulls eat grass and provide work, no? Good solar power?? Can develop property so that it will be attractive to other buyers, not just Hare Krsna buildings, then can sell and buy other place if better?


3. With the La Molina Agrarian University we are in very good conversations so that this project is evaluated for its organic and ecological crops with permaculture, they will make a soil evaluation and investigate our production model as a model to be replicated. Any suggestion?


ASA - Puede tomar apoyo del Maharaja Bhakti purusotraya Swami y su proyecto???


4. Nitya-kisori is a business administrator and her brother Franco is a planning expert trained in France, both of them, starting in January, begin to design the administrative and legal structure of the project and an annual work plan for the next three years . Any suggestion?


HpS - Good.


It is a fact that we have to have a place where we can practice the way of life that we preach: "Simple life and high thinking." I have been talking these last weeks with different types of people, academics, artists and businessmen, they all agree that the creation of these ecological and cultural villages is the best way to live in goodness and to properly face this pandemic and all those that seem to be looming.


ASA - They are all Krsna's mercy. Bhakta Fred thinks that Krsna has given power to people in the Kali-yuga to develop industrial power, yantra vidhi, but now they are destroying the Earth, so He is finishing it. This pandemic will mutate and in the end the industrialized life style will be destroyed. Peopl will be successful who live in nations based upon village, rural life. Village, Town, City, County, Nation.

The will be 80% self sufficient just from their village life and not travel too much or too far, but will be very well connected if need be.

Normal Dvapara yuga life.



HARE KRISHNA GURUDEVA, her useless servant, Abhirama Thakura dasa.


HpS - ASA --- Thank you many!!!!! ASA Asokavan, Peru, Radha-kunda.

Proyecto: Aldea Agroecológica y Cultural "Nueva Aksovan"


Todos los integrantes de este proyecto han resuelto las preguntas fundamentales: ¿Quiénes somos? ¿Podemos trabajar en equipo? y ¿cómo vamos a hacer realidad este proyecto?

Hasta la fecha somos: p. Raghunatha, pág. Uddhava, pág. Gadai Gauranga y su esposa su madre Nadiya, Nitya-kisori mataji, p. Laksmi-Narayana, Maria y yo.

Resumen de los avances realizados.


1. Con Prabhu Uddhava, discípulo de Prahladananda Swami (es un ingeniero forestal, experto en temas agrarios con 40 años de experiencia) estamos en la etapa preliminar de ubicar y formalizar la propiedad. Hemos localizado dos propiedades, una en Zuñiga (Cañete), al sur, a tres horas de Lima y otra en Pativilca, al norte, a las 3 o 3.30 horas. También estamos evaluando, Canta, Huarochirí y San Mateo. Como mencionaste que Pamashto está muy lejos (a 20 horas de Lima), estamos ubicando la propiedad en un radio de no más de 4 horas desde Lima, ¿está bien?


2. Con la Casa Ecológica de la Universidad Católica y Walter León estamos viendo un proyecto de construcción de casas ecológicas, bautizamos este modelo como casa RAM (Rural, Antisísmica y Multipropósito). También nos asesorarán sobre el uso de energía eólica y paneles solares. ¿Alguna sugerencia?


3. Con la Universidad Agraria La Molina estamos en muy buenas conversaciones para que este proyecto sea evaluado por sus cultivos orgánicos y ecológicos con permacultura, ellos harán una evaluación de suelos e investigarán nuestro modelo de producción como modelo a replicar. ¿Alguna sugerencia?


4. Nitya-kisori es administradora de empresas y su hermano Franco es un experto en planificación formado en Francia, ambos, a partir de enero, comienzan a diseñar la estructura administrativa y legal del proyecto y un plan de trabajo anual para los próximos tres años. ¿Alguna sugerencia?


Es un hecho que tenemos que tener un lugar donde podamos practicar la forma de vida que predicamos: "Vida simple y pensamiento elevado". He estado hablando estas últimas semanas con diferentes tipos de personas, académicos, artistas y empresarios, todos coinciden en que la creación de estas aldeas ecológicas y culturales es la mejor manera de vivir en bondad y enfrentar adecuadamente esta pandemia y todas las que parecen que ya se avecinan.


HARE KRISHNA GURUDEVA, su sirviente inútil, Abhirama Thakura dasa.

Critical Music Review (Gaura Vani Das - Compass)

Critical Review

Photo of Board of Review Attached

Submitted by Gauravani Das:

YouTube:Compass (feat. revati prema)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Cc9XXVeyXU


Contrast with:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHrkaxyoWB4

Reflection of Krsna and the Cowherd Boys? Dangerous to Gopis? See lyrics. Can write Krsna conscious comments?


Suggestions:

Add images, like a PPTX. Add lyrics.


Reactions:

At this moment the hard beat [virya rasa?] is more appealing to us. Other times the softer mellow could certainly be cool. Lyrics are very difficult. We are very much afraid to listen to them unless it is a paraphrase of Bh. V. Th. et al. Ooooh.

Lyrics with Sastric references.


Another Contrast (local Nashville iconography):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jREUrbGGrgM

Both cases the lead is the drummer!


Give a purport to the song. How it was written? For who?

Champu is poetry and prose combined eg. Gopala champu of Jiva Goswami.


Villancico en Pandemia - PMD

4 years, 3 months ago by bhaktapiero in Special Category A

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada


Aquí dejo el link del villancico que hice. Lo compuse como una décima, tal cómo el canto a lo divino, lo cuál es la música tradicional y religiosa del lugar dónde nací, Cabildo. (Esta parte del folclor chileno era lo que más agradaba a Violeta Parra)


https://youtu.be/6Bg9GIqq6qw


Esta es la letra:


Se nos termina este año

Revolución y pandemia

Por los virus y bacterias

Algunos dicen engaño

Se ha generado gran daño

En valores y principios

Ahora si parece un mito

La existencia de Jesús

Queriendo apagar su luz

A valorarlo te invito


Él ha sido buen maestro

De millones de personas

Abarcó todas las zonas

Al planeta y los ancestros

Él encontró en sus adentros

La existencia del divino

Jugo de uva en vez de vino

En el desierto refresca

De personas fue su pesca

Encaminando el camino


Fue un nacimiento glorioso

José y María lo esperan

En el cielo hay una estrella

Que está alumbrando con gozo

Es un niño muy hermoso

Que cambiará todo el mundo

Fue llegando a lo profundo

Corazones inocentes

Ayudando a tanta gente

A superar sus asuntos


Le dió la vista a los ciegos

volvió a la vida los muertos

Fue sanando a muchos siervos

Dios le ayudaba del cielo

Seguir sus pasos yo quiero

Ya que es seguro camino

Es el más alto destino

Poder servir a Jesús

Es cómo tomar un bus

Que nos lleva a lo divino


Su sacrificio libera

A la gente de pecados

Pero hay que evitar a diario

El pecado en las afueras

No juzgar esa vereda

Una biga y poca paja

Lo bueno y lo malo pasa

Jesucristo nos enseña

Que no somos de esta leña

Somos seres de otra danza


GOOGLE TRADUCTOR


We are ending this year


Revolution and pandemic


By viruses and bacteria


Some say deception


Great damage has been done


In values ​​and principles


Now if it seems a myth


The existence of Jesus


Wanting to turn off his light


To value it I invite you



He has been a good teacher


Of millions of people


It covered all areas


To the planet and the ancestors


He found in himself


The existence of the divine


Grape juice instead of wine


In the desert it refreshes


Of people was his fishing


Leading the way



It was a glorious birth


José and María are waiting for you


In the sky there is a star


That is shining with joy


He is a very beautiful boy


That the whole world will change


Was reaching deep


Innocent hearts


Helping so many people


To overcome their affairs



He gave sight to the blind


the dead came back to life


He was healing many servants


God helped him from heaven


Follow in his footsteps I want


Since it is safe way


It is the highest destiny


To be able to serve Jesus


It's like taking a bus


That leads us to the divine



His sacrifice frees


To the people of sins


But you have to avoid daily


Sin on the outskirts


Not judge that path


A biga and little straw


The good and the bad happen


Jesus Christ teaches us


That we are not of this firewood


We are beings of another dance

Deseo sea de su agrado

Muchas gracias por esta instrucción.

ASA - The preaching can be very direct, specific and confrontational. Sometimes Prahlada would act that way, and sometimes he would present the ideas in a more general fashion or even hide his preaching from the political authorities (Sanda and Amarka).

Here is example from our favorite, Phile Ochs:
