Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja

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

I just finished preparing for my class today for the course we have started - Demystifying the Bhagavad Gita. It is a 10 session course on the different topics of BG. We have 16 students (including 2 Westerners who are completely new to Krishna Consiousness). Today's topic is Who is God? There is so much to say about Krishna, but we have only an hour. Apart from the hourly lecture every week, we are giving weekly assignments to the students. Verse memorizations, Practice (Practical aspects of Bhakti. We have introduced Japa, offering and honoring prasadam so far. Today will be Reading and Listening. I have selected two of Srila Prabhupada's lectures for them to listen to.) Preaching (Summarize the session in 3 lines. The hope is, by the end of the course, they will have a 30 line essay on the Bhagavad Gita.).

HpS - Wow!! This is like a university level course. Don't be surprised if all your students are not first class panditas. Third class is still O.K.

This service has been very enlivening for me. It is very close to my nature. Studying the Gita, splitting it functionally into 8-10 parts, creating the lesson outline for the teachers and coordinating with the students and teachers and the authorities in the temple.

Every aspect of it has been enjoyable except for the coordinating part. It is hardwork. Not a day goes by when I don't think of your efforts to coordinate the Education program in ISKCON. And how hard you try to bring this systematic study of Srila Prabhupada's books to all the centers of the world.

We sent out Bhakti Shastri center application to Bhaktarupa prabhu exactly a month ago today. We haven't heard from him in 20 days. I have sent a reminder email every week, but he hasn't replied to any of them. Devotees here are eager to know what we need to do to get the center in Kalachandji Dham. Please guide us Gurudeva on how we should proceed.

HpS - In the beginning I was seeing CC of those letters. Are you still including us? Next one you send to him be sure to CC to me and then we can try to contact him through some personal means that I know.

Hare Krsna, we have already downloaded the file of the LOB tex 4 in gotomeeting.

you ask me if we can upload this video on youtube.

yes ofcourse we can do it. you Have 2 oficial Youtube channel ASa audiovial and NIOS image. Where do you prefer to upload it, in the NIOS channel, in ASA audiovisual or both?

ASA-The ASA channel seems better to us if it is O.K. with you.

We can add the illustration that accompanies the text. show it contemplatively along with the text (veda base) and your voice. add a cover.

what do you think?

ASA - Sounds fine! I was just thinking it might be a nice resource for people. Let us see how people react. We also did Text Four. I will look and send you the links by Whatsapp.

thank you for engage us in service.

The ring is the Upadesamrta?

Sita's crown-jewel, that She sends back to Rama with Hanuman, is a full-set order to the BBT?

Please accept my obeisances, Maharaja.

I humbly request a soft copy of your Diary of a Traveling Creature.

I have a PDF I'd like to share with you, but I guess I can only attach photos.

your aspiring servant,

Thakur Haridas das

HpS - AGTSP.. Paoho.. We are shocked to hear from you! If you send us Whatsapp number here we won't publish it and then we can get into contact to get your PersonalDataFile and send Monkey and Piggy's will imaginations DTC. Please bless us to be like you when we grow up!

HpSD - ASA ---- Gracias por su carta. Solo canta tanto como puedas. El Señor Caitanya dice que esta es la religión de esta época. Obtenga tanta asociación como sea posible de los devotos en Cusco y otros lugares. Lee los libros de Srila Prabhupada. Entonces saborearás el canto y llegarás al estándar para la iniciación formal.



Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, pamho agtsp! I had a great time being close to you again, I could grasp certain ideas about Srila Prabhupada and Guru Tattva, I will soar my devotional service with your shakti. I will keep helping the aspirant devotees and the devotees that are younger than me. It was a great pleasure to see you!

I look forward to seeing you soon again.

your vary many fallen servant,

Jagat Bandhu Jagannatha Swami dasa

HpS - Thank you. AGTSP.... paoho... We are really, really, just struggling to get 16-nice rounds done daily and not trying to be anything different than what we are in the Param-para. You seem to have done something very good with your life so far! Helped others also. It is very enlivening to get your association.
