ASA (Buck White) - Thank you Mother Yugala-kishore Devi Prabhu et al. We just answered a similar letter from Isvari Devi Dasi also thinking of this letter. Can you look at the answer we gave to Mataji. It should go through Translate.google.com easily and then give your answer? We are making so much progress.
Can you also send photos of The Jambuvanitos with little bio-data?

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 26th, 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
