ASA - AGTSP! paoho...... Thank you. Please distribute this link and invite people to participate with articles on "Art and the Sacred" for our magazine 'Solaris' and the Symposium 24-26th of October in Lima, Peru.
Write to this Blog with ideas of how to perfect this project.
See SB 1.5.11 ...descriptions of the transcendental glories of the name, fame, forms, pastimes, etc., of the unlimited Supreme Lord is a different creation, full of transcendental words directed toward bringing about a revolution in the impious lives of this world’s misdirected civilization.
1.5.22 ... Human intellect is developed for advancement of learning in art, science, philosophy, physics, chemistry, psychology, economics, politics, etc. By culture of such knowledge the human society can attain perfection of life.
VIplavah # 5.2
What is the best book to read? Here is a quick summary (of his excellent books) --
-- Godel's Mistake, Quantum Meaning, and Moral Materialism are very technical - primarily focused on science and not for a beginner
-- Signs of Life is focused on Evolutionary Theory and its alternative -- again not a topic if you are not keen on this subject
-- Mystic Universe is specifically focused on cosmology -- but you mentioned already this is too involved
-- Sankhya and Science is all about philosophy of science -- especially about the philosophy of empiricism and its revision in Sankhya
-- Uncommon Wisdom -- this is a scientific critique of atheism by picking out the scientific problems in the ideas on which atheism is based
-- Six Causes -- this is a quick survey of Vedic philosophy of creation -- after a while it gets somewhat in depth, but it maybe a starting point
-- Is the Apple Really Red? -- this is meant to be an introduction -- it is a short about 100 page book and comprised of 10 short essays
There are 10 short essays, and each essay is self-contained (almost). Here is a essay by essay summary to see what the book is about:

Answer to: URGENT PND
Hare Krishna Dear Gurumaharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I just read your post from 19th April. (https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/9269)
Paoho. Can you write an article on Vedabase.com for the next Viplavah. Publishing date is end of May. So need the article in a few weeks so we can edit a little.
I am going to write it and will send it.
Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das
HpS - Hare Krishna! Thank you. I think we sent an email. Did you get it? What is your current email. We won't publish it.
Please tell us a little personal history, history of Vedabase.com and history of Srila Prabhupada books on line and plans for VBC and suggestions for a strategy for BBT and education on line.

Esteemed Prahlada Nrsmha Das,
Paoho. Can you write an article on Vedabase.com for the next Viplavah. Publishing date is end of May. So need the article in a few weeks so we can edit a little.
What is the history of VBC?
What is the goal? Where is it now and what help do you need?
(Relation with other electronic media eg. on-line education and Vanipedia etc).

URGENT NIOS-Turning Point Report
Hare Krsna, Amigos y Amigis,
Follows the report we just sent to our Officers and Directors of NIOS. It took us 45-minutes of hard work to write it but it is like a stick of dynamite to put in your hand.
------------------------------------------
He Radhe, Vraja devike, He Nanda suno, kutah!
Our respects to His Divine Grace, Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, Prabhupada, author of the book "KRSNA: The Supreme Personality of Godhead", and other unlimited transcendental resources.
Our respects to the Advisors, Directors and Friends of NIOS.
We write this from ISKCON Buenos Aires. It is beginning of Fall here so the weather is mild but one must be a little careful of Dengue from the few mosquitos who patrol the area.
Brother Ass, our dear body, after eight weeks, two months of hard, hard, hard travel has finally stumbled and we are running through a fever and probably some kind of virus.
It is some torment but manageable like having to clear the sinus passages every few moments.
In general, we took advantage of the friends and disciples here and a complete eye check for new glasses shows only a slight stigmatism, no glaucoma nor cataracts. Cleaning the teeth after two years showed only a small tartar build up and good strength for all the remains teeth, two having already gone-to-Goloka(?).

Yet, typing on the portable key-pad onto the HP Cell phone is a little tedious.
DON'T STRAIN YOUR EYES.
So, as we make the turn and head North, back to our base camp, Murfreesboro. The body and equipment are in reasonable order for 70-year old ass.
We spent the morning with three very, very competent Brahmacari disciples, pulling all the Argentinian pesos out of the cracks and a rough calculation shows that we have covered the expenses of the tour.
RESULTS:
We see our 'Anjana Suta Academy' (www.JayaRama.US) as our root and esoteric community. Then the middle world is the ISKCON Ministry of Education. Finally, our full effort to dance with the secular world is NIOS. Of course none can exist without the others.

The central point of the MOE was the GBC College seminar in Campino Grande, Brazil. Besides that we can probably organize everything else around 'Viplavah', the Ministries quarterly periodical of which we are now the Acting Editor and one of the founders.
There are now 1-million people in ISKCON of which a good estimate is over 150,000 are school age children. The work, the potential, is immeasurable. Of course, a lot of our travel has been to ISKCON centers and after all this, and oceans of discussions with intelligent people a concise report seems to be bubbling to the surface. So we pray for you help with that.
Today we will write this NIOS midway report and work on our 'Srimad Bhagavatam' study guide development. (Then at 6.30PM do a consultation for Lomasa-rsi Das and 7.00PM Gaura-arati and class on Sita Devi's appearance day festival, next Monday, for a full house of about 50-devotees and friends).

We have not been able to make a great number of stalwart allies in this effort to promote 'Art and the Sacred' as we hoped. For example, while in Argentina, Buenos Aires, we hoped to meet with the Director of the National Library who is a cosmic scholar and publishing house editor, and the Jungian psychologist who translated 'The Red Book' into Spanish. The Jungian gentleman was out of town and even after recommendations from close friends we have not been able to meet with the Library Director.
On the other hand, the Symposium promo video by Oscar Natars has received nothing but rave reviews and is up on the YouTube (look for NIOS Images) and a twenty page, first class folio of the event is going out in the hundreds.
We have contacts, we have resources, when we return to Lima on Friday it should be a turning point. Alejandro has sent the promo video to Ramon Mujica. If he is enthused to work on the project then we are still in the water. We are also hoping for a copy of a Mission Statement for ‘Solaris’ from our Editor, Miguel Polo.
After long struggle Rama-giridhari Das and ourselves talked and he has been making progress with Ambica on the fund raising with Meta soft.
Last I looked the web-page had not been updated with Joshua. I will try to contact him and see what his critical situation is.
After Peru we will be in Mexico City for the weekend. We have a university program there and what may be the premier of a Manipur/Mexico (Art and the Sacred) connection. That will be Sunday, April 29th, ‘The International Day of Dance’.
It seems we have expressed our situation well. We tried to call Prof. Samaresh but the Voice Over Internet would not hold so we will try to go out tomorrow and use a public phone station.
It is now 1.48PM, about 45-minutes on this Report.
Hope to hear from you.
