Subject: Inquire about educational area of ​​Iskcon Argentina
 

Hare Krsna Maharaja

Accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope you are well.

HpS - AGTSP!   Can only hope to die an efficient death.

My name is Dhrstaketu das a and I am serving the national board of Iskcon Argentina and we are tackling an educational project.

I have spoken with various educational devotees about educational content, as well as with Mother Isvari dd (BBS) about an organizational structure.

But for me it is important your vision about the relationship that may have the devotees teaching and the administrative area of ​​Iskcon.

What benefit can an educational department have with an administration, such as a temple commission or national board?

What benefit can the existence of a Ministry of National Education have?

What would be the administrative relationship of this Ministry of National Education with a National Board?

Any comments you wish to make Maharaja, will be welcome.

Thank you very much for your valuable contribution to this project.

His servant

Dhrstaketu das a

Villa de Merlo San Luis, Argentina

HpS - Hare Krsna. It is very nice to meet you. We thank Mother Isvari Devi Dasi for helping in this meeting. Please, please, please get into our Blog - www.hps.monkeywarrior.com. I heard you had some difficulties but NOI 3. niscayena.  We cannot handle mail through yahoo in any quantity. The Blog is a wonderful forum. I will post this letter there. 25-more people will read it. If there are details confidential details then we can communicate confidentially. Our phone is +1 209 505 3219. That is a secret, but you can always text us.

The Ministry of Education is organized by the GBC. Its Minister is Sesa Das, very wonderful, intelligent person, lawyer, two nice daughters. Rama-giridhari Das is the Executive Secretary and myself and few others are serving as Members of the Executive Committee. We are just developing Regional Representatives.  Baladeva Das and Param-padam Das have been doing some nice work in this area for some time.

The Regional Representative is the administrative link between the Ministry and the local ISKCON educational programs. They are working to define that role and what is their service.

Of course, a National Education Minister, Ministry, is wonderful. BG, SB are full of educational programs. Sankirtan is education. We might define the areas as:

1. Philosophy and Strategy of Education
2. Books are the Basic - Bh. Sastri, Bh.Vaibhava etc
3. Varna ashrama Dharma Education
4. Early education - pre-school, kinder, primary, secondary, home schooling, Sunday school
5. Higher Education - Studying and Teaching in the Univesities
6. Building a Global Network.

The Ministry can help you develop all of these.

Just ne example of the relation between education and the Local Temple. If the Temple has an excellent school system for children then good Grhastas will move there even at the sacrifice of personal convenience. Then they will look for service for themselves in the Temple.

We will be producing a quarterly journal on education in Spanish starting Janmastami. If we can stay in touch then we can take your contribution.

We will be in Chile from June 6-July 12. Ambarisa Das and others are coming from Argentina so we can get a lot of work done.

So very nice to meet you.

Again please get on our Blog.

Thank you so much. Respets to all the Mahatmas in Argentina ISKCON.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

All Glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami!!

In terms of the budgets for this event, this once, the BNP and the universities give us the auditoriums and we take charge of the advertising, decoration and prasadam. So, we have:

Advertising: 2000 full color hand programs + 1000 personal invitations + 1000 envelopes for the 1000 invitations + 100 posters + 3000 one color handbills: $ 800.

Decoration for the three days: $ 200 (100 the first day, 50 for the second y 50 for the third).

Prasadam for the first day: $ 180

Prasadam for the second and third day: considering that it will be a lunch for about 20 people per day (the Jesuit university is sponsor if it’s coordinated at the the beginning of the year, in the case of San Marcos, they don’t have budgets): $ 250

Transport, photocopies and incidental expenses (that there are always): $ 100

Production of two videos (bilingual) one short (2 or 3 minutes) and other (6 or 9 minutes): $ 300

HpS - So, that is a total of $1830, no?   Of course, this is just 4-weeks before the event and we should have made a Budget before this, but also can understand that you are under great stress due to doing a lot of this work alone.
We will consult with NGD about the Budget, but...  NIOS has already been blessed to make an investment in this excellent project, no?  It was $800 on December 24th through Caturatma - Palika DD. Before the next money can be released then the accounting for that needs to be received.

Thank you so much for you efforts in these areas. We are very grateful that you still deal with us inspite of all of our faults. Except for you and your crew there is no one els doing all this.

In terms of managements with the National Director of the BNP for THE ART and THE SACRED for June and July 2018, before an agreement with many details, the first thing I have proposed is that he accept to reserve the rooms for the following dates:

- From June 14th to July 12th in the exhibition hall a SAMPLE OF SACRED ART of Perú, India and China (there is a consensus that the person indicated to direct this is Ramon Mujica, he agrees).

- From June 21st to July 12th in the HALL of entrance a PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPOSITION OF SACRED ARCHITECTURE.

- From July 2nd to July 6th THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM OF ART AND THE SACRED in Mario Vargas Llosa Auditorium.

I’m working on the documents they ask for; his secretary and his Director of Image are collaborating. Our aim is that in the June 5th reunion he officially accepts with a letter that the BNP will be the host of the ART AND THE SACRED, so we will know in which other things he will collaborate or if he will only give us the venues.

That is all for now. Hare Krishna Gurudeva, forgive my limitations, your servant, Abhiram Thakur das.

HpS - ASA - NIOS --- Muchas gracias Senyor!  Somos todos llena de faultas. Muy bien. Minimizando y adelantanda nuestras buen cualidades.  Cart a ido a NGD con presupueto. Necesita reportaje del inversion anterior.  Gran evento. Todo el mundo puede participar.

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO, AGTSP!

We read that you have a fever, I hope your improvement.

ASA - We though we answered this letter a few days ago. We cannot find that posted answer with a quick look so here it is again!  Thank you!!!
We have "hay fever", allergy. NGD has it so bad he had to leave working at his hospital to lie down. We are under control but sneezing. 

I just realized that Lad had not asked for a formal permission to use the name ASA. Please apologize for the lack of formality, Lad forgets certain details.

Here in this letter, we request for permission to use the name of ASA.

SS Hanumat Presaka Swami (ASA)

PAMHO. AGTSP!

I am writing to you to express that we are an educational Team interested in developing Vaisnava education in Peru. And we would like to have the support and advice of ASA on educational issues.

Our Mission - Vision is very simple and specific, we specifically want to develop the courses Bhakti Sastri, Bhakti Vaibhava and the whole saga of the study of bhakti, we seek specialization.

For this reason, we ask for your permission to use the educational material of ASA and also to call us ASA- Peru. We are committed to developing close communication with Asa and the respective authorities.

The educational group consists of eight people, who will be teachers of courses:

Laksmana agraja d, Candramukhi dd, Lila sakti dd, Isvari dd, Abhinanda d, Tarangaksi dd, Rupa gosay d.

The structure of the organization is linear and autonomous, there will only be 3 Coordinators of 3 areas (Academic, Courses, Procedures and communication) that will work with the National Board.

We have sent our service proposal to the National Board and we will await a response

We look forward to qualifying and being accepted into ASA.

I will be waiting for your response and thank you for your consideration

Lord Nrsimhadeva protect you

ys Isvari dd

ASA-SUAC, Secretary, Buck White - Thank you for your letter. These are formalities but not without meaning, like wedding ceremony or initiation ceremony!

1. Do not us the the name ASA in a formal sense until you have approval from the ASA-SUAC (Anjana Suta Academy - Supreme Undifferentiated Absolute Commando) with includes: Tom Brown (Monkey), Buck White, Guy (Uncle) Gismo, PhD, Prof. H. H. Robinson (Hanumatpresaka Swami) and a bunch of other mixed Dudes.

2. Submit a Request for Banch Affiliation with ASA here. The devotees in Mexico should do the same. ASA is a Branch of ISKCON. Our GBC Secretary currently is Tamohara Das and our head-quarters are in Murfreesboro, TN 37129, USA.

Our Mission (from Preface of NOI) is to qualifiy ourselves to help Lord Caitanya in His mission of giving the science of Krsna to humanity (an animality) at large by studying the literature left by the six Goswamis. NOI constitutes first instructions.

Branches must have a President (and Vice-Presidents with different areas if desired), a Secretary and a Treasurer. Secretary must post a Report regularly in the Blog (every fortnight can be good). Then we can work out details.

O.K?

Management should be by consensus and then can be formalized by a vote of members.

INTRODUCTION

Thanks to Srila Prabhupada’s mercy, I could meet my spiritual master and study Bhakti Sastri and Bhakti Vaibhava. That saint association is an invaluable gift that I will never be able to afford. Therefore, trying to reciprocate in some way the effort of H.H. Hanumatpresaka Swami, my spiritual master, who for many years has been supporting to ISKCON education in our country and worldwide, I very humbly wish to coordinate the reactivation of NIMSAR, Educational Institution at the service of ISKCON.

Reply from Hanumatpresaka Swami about reactivating NIMSAR:

 “In terms of NIMSA, if you want to present yourself as an ASA branch, we need a good deal of organization before receive the approval from Tío Gismo, Tom Brown and Buck White and the Executive Command! Electing of President, Secretary, Treasurer, norms of function and the approval of the National Board if it is for all Peru. Of course, it’s good to talk with Mathuresa Dasa about these matters, right?”

Srila Prabhupada presents a profile for the study of the Scriptures, in his following letter:

Bombay, January 27th 1976

My estimated Svarupa Damodara,

Please accept my blessings. I beg of you to receive thanks for your letter of December 26^th, 1975, I have read its content carefully Your plan for a Summer Bhaktivedanta Institute is a very good idea… brahmana means pandita. Therefore, I’m suggesting exams. Bhakti Sastri (for all brahmanas) based on the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Isopanisad, Nectar of Devotion, Nectar of Instruction and all the small books. Bhakti Vaibhava based on the above plus the first six Cantos of Srimad Bhagavatam. Bhaktivedanta based on the above plus the Cantos 7-12 of Srimad Bhagavatam.Bhakti Sarvabhauma based on the above plus the Caitanya Caritamrta. These degrees may correspond to Bachelor, Master and Doctorate. Consider how to organize this institute.

In the hope that the present will find you well.

A. C Bhaktivedanta Swami

Please accept my most humble obeisance.

All glories to GURU and GAURANGA.

Hope your health is ok and I pray to Lord NARASHINGHA, to be always with you... At here we are eagerly waiting for the month of September to come so that we can meet you soooooooon! 

3:05 a.m. now at my place (Silchar). Tonight due to hot temperature I am unable to sleep, so I clicked to youtube (around 1:30 am) and on my uncle's demand (who is sleeping by my side) searched Srila Prabhupada's lectures in Bangla!

Accordingly, I found one and while hearing to that I slept. The climax was that His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada came in my dream!!

(This is for the first time I saw His holiness Srila Prabhupada in my dream)

I saw He came at ISKCON Silchar, giving lectures and I was somewhere there as His assistant. After that program, He came to someone's home and was taking rest during mid-afternoon (probably). I came to my home (which was not my present home also unknown to take rest) and didn't notice any of my family members there. When I went to meet Him again, (on the way I was thinking that it was KRISHNA's mercy that He came to meet me??) it was time for Him to leave for another place and I was helping in arranging things. 

Slowly slowly the time came for Him to depart and I started crying like anything? Even water was also flowing from my nose!!

With this pity condition, I was standing in front of Him and trying to tell Him something but didn't utter any word. My tears touched His hand and cheek. He was persuading me not to cry like that, but I could not control my tears.

In the midst of this situation, (when He was supposed to get into the car) I asked Him when shall we meet again? And he replied He remains busy but assured me that He will meet sometime. And by saying this He and one more senior Maharaj got to a car (Maruti 800 AC, sky blue colored) and departed. I was running behind the car and He turned back did namaskar and waved His hand. The car disappeared in the mob.

After that, I came back to that home where He took rest (broken from inside). A beautiful girl (of my age may be), came to me and she requested me to pluck some ornamental leaves for her. I was not paying heed to her request. She again requested me, I saw there were a little of the leaves available. While plucking I was arguing to myself that why I didn't tell Srila Prabhupada about the problems I am facing to do research with the meteorite and what are my plans to spread KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS with this research work.

Suddenly, that unknown girl started talking to me, she was questioning me that why I didn't take my own car to drop Prabhupada and why didn't I gave Him some money for His journey. I couldn't reply her as she was 100% correct!! I was feeling guilty and suddenly I woke up.

GURUMAHARAJji please forgive me if you are irritated by this mail. I am helpless It's only You with whom I felt I can share and so emailed you immediately and please provide me shelter at Your lotus feet.

Yours fallen servant,

Bhishambhar Gauranga Das
