Letters to the editor

AGTSP. Paoho. Zee

We have been asked by GBC Secretaries, Presidents, cooks, insiders, outsider, Brahmanas, youth, women et al about the adminstrative situation in Chile.

Our opinion has to be understood in perspective.

We seen this in the Gopi's relations with Krsna. This is in the "Krsna" book at this link: https://vedabase.io/en/library/kb/21/#bb91143 , "...the gopīs in Vṛndāvana remembered Him and began to talk amongst themselves...".

First, they were good citizens of Nanda Maharaja's village: Milked cows, haggled over the price of Yogurt, paid their taxes. So, we should all be good citizens of ISKCON as an institution, support our GBC, don´t expect much more than 75% perfection from any institution in Kali-yuga and then,

Second, they had their confidential friends with whom they talked about Krsna. So, in Santiago, we talk in closed rooms with President, GBC, cooks, Mataji's with their sons/husbands etc. We like everyone. Is that true of you? Yes, sometimes Krsna will push us to push our friend out of the way of traffic if they have been neglectful, but that is superficial and is sign of friendship. (Eg. Dhurva and the Yaksas).

Finally, each of them had their own individual, personal, relationship with Krsna. So, unless you have a direct relationship (through so many transparent via-media) with Srila Prabhupada as your personal Acharya in ISKCON, we feel you have fundamental progress to make. At some point, did you establish a relationship with Srila Prabhupada where you decided that even if all your friends in ISKCON and the Temple and global Administration went mad, you would never give up serving Srila Prabhupada E.g. 16-enthusiastic rounds and 4-principles strictly are a personal commitment to him?

So, our nature is Brahmana, Brahmana, Brahmana, Sudra; from general persepctive to exact details.

Our opinion now, as Sannyasis, from what we know, is that Sripad Amara Das should consult with Brahmanas, Gurus, Sannyasis, family, leaders and then suggest someone as Vice-President to serve under him for like three months, then if things are basically O.K they should become Temple President and he should go on the Zonal Supervisor.

After one year everyone can reconsider the situation.

Write down what is expected during the three months, and one year, and have it signed by several leaders and publically broadcast.

Then, Srila Amara Das and all leaders, should lead us by example by taking Sannyasa, getting our of administrative gears, after a few years and save 25-generations of his ancestors. (🦍)

Since we are Sannyasis in the institution we want to be free to publish any political, admnistrative discussions we have here where they are available to friends and intelligent enemies of the Anjana Suta Academy.

Your turn.

HpS/ASA - Thank you. AGTSP!! Paoho... We are trying to be like Srila Prabhupada and do a lot of service. This LOB reading and commentary seems like it might be useful, but posting the link to you each day is a struggle. Priorities. Maybe we can just do it like this. You send the YouTube links and then we send you the gotomeeting.com links.

O.K. LOB 12-finished. Tomorrow is 19. So, we owe you 15h -20th.

We go to GoToMeeting and look for them:

Takes us a little time to do this. We do a pretty good job. It is 7.06PM here in Murfreesboro. Sunset was 5.30PM. It was very, very beautiful. Even poorest man can see a Hollywood spectacular for free by grace of Nanda's son.

It is below freezing. Went walking with NgD. Sometimes Dr. Desai and Vijaya Ji go. They are both out of town.

We are feeling chest pains, constriction. Maybe from putting lot of stress on heart to work in this cold weather.

Trade a stomach ache for a head ache or a heart ache.

Maybe we can give you the password for gotomeeting and you can download them directly.

HpS/ASA - AGTSP paoho... Do you have the other Texts? We are trying to send them daily. Thank you so much. We hope this is of some use to devotees.

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.
