Question on Jung Reading Course

4 years, 3 months ago by sugopiradha in Special Category B

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Thank you very much for your response to my previous questions.


Guru Maharaja, you suggested that I should start out reading Jung's works and gradually connect a few of his concepts to Srila Prabhupada's theological treatises. However, from my conversation with the professor, it seems like he wants me to predetermine 3-4 concepts to study and compare with Srila Prabhupada's books.


I have been watching videos and skimming through reading material to find out what Jung's major contributions are. I came up with the following list:


Theory of Typology

Anima

Animus

Shadow

The Self

Synchronicity

Individuation

Introversion & Extraversion

Sensing, thinking, feeling, willing

Archetypes

Persona


Gurudeva, I was wondering if you could mercifully suggest to me which ones have greater potential to be linked with SP's work and have enough material from both Jung and SP so that I can meet the requirement of reading a 100 pages/week. I can read more about the topics you suggest and compile the curriculum for the course. I am eternally grateful for your guidance.


Your insignificant servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi


100 pages/week for how many weeks.


From your list I would suggest:

Theory of Typology x VAD and Three Modes of Nature


The Self x Sat Cit Ananda character of the Self; Self and Super self; Self and Primoridial self.


Synchronicity x Karma


Individuation x Self Realization ... adau sraddha... anna maya, prana maya..


Introversion & Extraversion x Light of the Bhagavata verse #...?


Archetypes X Virate rupa (Soul and Super soul)


Persona x Cosmology - Bhumir apo nalo vayu, Kham mano Buddhir eva ca.


---------------------------------


You can claim that you will read BG As It Is, also LOB, then SB, Dialog between Deva huti and Kapila?? Third Canto of Brahma and Vidura?


Enough material?


Ask more details as you need to.

Thank you very much for your response to our letter.

We are downloading the classes from the link that you send by tweeter and editing them to upload.


As for internet services, the problem is that there are no companies available in the area that offer a better service than we have. Together with the neighbors and the municipality, we are organizing a formal complaint to the company to request "Optical fiber" service. Meanwhile, when the service is cut off, we use the phone data.


HpS - Super! We are including you with the dialogs from Gopinatha Das from Houston. He is very nice person. He has given us several HP computers etc.

Hope you have success with better connection. Maybe with neighbors you can build your own satellite and put a monkey inside to act as telephone operator.


We had a meeting with the devotees of ASA Mexico. They would download all the links and organize a glossary of the videos to select their upload to YouTube.


As for developing short videos of certain topics, it seems like an excellent idea. you can record it with your phone and send it to us.


HpS - This is our main focus, make PPTX and then use them for GoToMeeting shows that can go to the Channel.


hope to be useful in the service Ambarisa Das

todas las glorias a usted Guru dev


Muchas gracias por su respuesta a nuestra carta. 

Estamos descargando las clases desde el link que usted envia por tweeter y editandolas para subir. 


En cuanto a los servicios de internet, el problema es que no hay empresas disponibles por la zona que ofrezcan un mejor servicio del que tenemos. Junto a los vecino y la municipalidad estamos organizando un reclamo formal a la empresa para pedir servicio de Fibra Optica. Mientras tanto, cuendo el servicio se corta, usamos los datos del telefono. 



Tuvimos una reunion con los devotos de ASA mexico. Ellos descargarian todos los link y organizarian un glosario de los videos para seleccionar su subida a youtube.

En cuanto a desarrollar videos cortos de ciertos topicos, me parece una excelente idea. usted lo puede grabar con su telefono y enviarlo a nosotros.


esperendo ser util en el servicio Ambarisa Das

Jung and the Bhagavata

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. One professor at Yale, Mark Heim, agreed to facilitate a reading course on Carl Jung and Gaudiya Vaishanvism for me. He said he does not know much about Carl Jung but he is willing to facilitate the course. I am also in the same boat right now, as I do not know much about Carl Jung, so the course would probably have to be more of an introduction to his thought and a few preliminary connections that can be made with Gaudiya Vaishnava philosophy/theology. Gurudeva, I looked at the reading list you suggested in Viplavah and saved the names of the books. I was wondering if you have any more recommendations of books that I should read during the course of the next semester. Tomorrow, I am meeting with Mark Heim to discuss the details of the course. I am very grateful for any guidance you can provide, Guru Maharaja.


Your insignificant servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi


Hps/ASA - AGTSP. paoho. The reading list is probably too much for one semester. You might start with Britannica article, https://www.britannica.com/biography/Carl-Jung, as an introduction, then read "Memories Dreams and Reflections". After that there could be choice of other books based upon time and interest of the students.

O.K.?

We will write to Professors Shonu Syamdasi and Bernardo Nantes about their opinions also.
