Hare Krsna,
Thank you, SIr.  If we can help or be helped in any way by your work then please let us know.  We will send general updates without a doubt. In January we will be in India for a program on the Bhagavata Purana with Ravi Gupta and scholars from all over the world that we are organizing at the University of Madras.

 Hi
 
 Thanks for the update...  I think often of our
 meeting in Peru...  Since returning I have been busy with
 the editing of a volume on Practices of Compassion: An
 Interfaith Exploration...  It grows out of a Conference
 initiated by the Ven Doboom Tulku that I organized in
 Hyderabad in January 2016...  And I have also completed my
 Out of Galilee: the History of Christian Thought as a Great
 Conversation.... 
 We have had a hot July and
 August, but I have just returned from a week in Northern
 Ontario communing with the water, woods, rocks, and loons
 ....  It was wonderful...  Away from phones and internet
 and just being present to this glorious creation...
 
 All the best,
 
 Darrol

 Subject: HpSwami, Hello.
 
 Jaya Sri Krsna!
 
 Esteemed Scholars, Friends et al,
 We are first concerned that you are all well
 and in the best of spirits. We have not heard from Jungian
 Psychology in New York or Inter-faith Dialog out of Canada
 since we parted in Peru!  We wrote to Beverely and called
 once but have not heard. Any problems?
 
 We have continued with our little efforts to
 illuminate the world while also being seduced to some degree
 by the forces of darkness in the form of too much nighttime
 orange juice and ice-cream.
 
 Ramon continues with great enthusiasm in these
 educational lines we saw blossoming in Peru. With the new
 President and his newly appointed Minister of Culture, Ramon
 may continue as Director of the National Museum for another
 five years, but in any case he has already been directly
 invited by the new President to be his Director of the
 Bi-centennial events for the anniversary of Peru's
 liberation from Colonial, political, domination. Of course,
 the question of liberation from intellectual and cultural
 domination immediately  arises and to this extent he is
 very, very open to literary or other contributions from
 Indian or other perspectives that address this issue in very
 practical ways.
 
 "Solaris" magazine is going out in
 Spanish and we are already expanding our dialog with
 Trans-personal Psychologists. We are quite advanced toward
 publishing the English edition. Our current strategy is to
 work toward a world-wide symposium in 2018 on "Art and
 the Sacred", and during 2017, smaller, effective
 dialogs with professionals in the area of "Psychology
 and the Sacred". "Solaris" would be the
 backbone of developing all this. Very personally we are
 starting to work very seriously on a book on
 "Sankhya", which is the whole cosmology of the
 Vedic wealth. We are enjoying the help of Alejandro, Miguel
 Polo  and Professor Ravi Gupta. We hope to do something
 very useful.
 
 Our heath is
 pretty good for 68-years old. Our office/Ashram was invaded
 by sometimes mean spiders while we were gone, but we seem to
 be winning that war. Our religious institution, ISKCON, is
 growing. For example, receiving a robust personal letter of
 congratulations from the new Prime Minister of England, and
 of course, along with that facing new, very serious
 challenges that are complete different from the ones that it
 originally faced as a young evangelical movement (God's
 Marines).
 
 What is your
 news?    We are based in Nashville until January 1st, then
 go for some Symposia and other work in India until third
 week of February. This October-November, we will be in a
 little tour of Chicago, Richmond, Raleigh and D.C. Any work
 we can do for you?  We would certainly like your help in
 this "Solaris" and other work!
 
 Sincerely,
 Hanmatpresaka
 Swami

Dear Huber ( as your mother called you). Eduardo, Ramon, Alejandro, Ravi Gupta, and Ravi Singh -(altho I do not have his email- please forward to him)

There has been a shameful delay in my writing to send my extreme appreciation for having been part of a most excellent project and experience with you all in Lima.  

Your unusual confluence of energies produced a most compelling program. I was glad to be part of it.

I am sorry for not writing sooner. This has been an intense summer so am just now settled enough to gather my thoughts.

It was a pleasure to be with the kind and generous  Nios group, to be with Eduardo and Guida in Lima, to meet the attentive and shepherding Alejandro, to glimpse the full personality of Ramon.

I learned a great deal from Ravi Gupta, and felt at ease with the gracious Ravi Singh group.

I received your idea for a conference on art and the sacred while here on Naoshima, an art island in Japan's Inland Sea. It is extraordinary,  a Tadeo Ando mix of buildings and outstanding art on this island and several of the surrounding ones. There are works here be De Maria and Turrell that are religious experiences. It is an artlover's paradise.

Four years ago, I was part of the art and psyche working group that produced a four day conference in New York: Art and Psyche in the City. It was an excellent conference with artists, art teachers and critics, curators, art therapists, and analysts interested in art. I could send you the program to see what we organized if you like.

The visual arts are certainly a huge field. Are you thinking of focusing on the visual? or interested also in music and dance and literature?

If you proceed with this plan I could offer you some fine speakers. Kenneth Soehner, the chief librarian of the Metropolitan Museum Watson Library, and John Haworth, current director of the Museum of the American Indian in New York, He is very active in work with indigenous peoples and also in truth and reconciliation efforts.

One artist who it would be a coup to have involved is the video artist Bill Viola.

So yes your idea for the next conference is stimulating.

Next week is the Jungian International Conference in Kyoto, and then back to NYC mid September. If any of you come to New York, please let me know in advance as it would be a pleasure to greet you.

Once again I thank you for your invitation, for your kindness to me while there, and for allowing me to participate in such a fine enterprise.

With appreciation and the very best wishes,

Beverley Zabriskie

Jaya Sri Krsna,
We got your letter. Thank you. We have been drowning in our work also.
Thank you so much for your words.  We hope that you and your community can be excellent source of strategy for this 2018 conference that it can do great good for this world.   We were thinking of all art.
Marshall McLuhan: Art is whatever you can get away with.
We will send more news soon. Very best of wishes for your work.
Our dream in life is to be able to have a few words with Shonu to clarify his thoughts about Jung, India etc. Maybe you can find some chance for a little concentrated exchange with him.
Thank you.

AGTSP!!!    paoho...  We can't find the collection of recipes right away that Nama' Das sent??!   It must be somewhere, but we hope he still has it and can continue to edit this book.

Here is Page One to BACHELOR BEANS - Recipes for Real Men:

========================= =  =>

SOAK SOME SPLIT PEAS over-night and then boil them lightly in the morning while you chant one round of Rosary. Then add about the same amount of rolled oats (little salt and butter) and continue the light boiling for another round.

Transfer the whole Peas Porridge to your pot and settle down in front of your plate with your hands folded and your head bent and mumble a few heartfelt prayers to the good Lord who gave you life, and the father and mother who reared you. If you stay a real bachelor like that your whole life you will never have any problem which is not both an immediate opportunity, and a doorway to eternity for you and all.

Our greatest personal focus now is the writing project Prefaced below. We take this up with Radhika-ramana Das' assurance of help and of course all of you who read this now.
AGTSP!!!     paoho...

DR. SINGH’S DINNER PARTY
A Multi-cultural View of Sankhya
(Science and Engineering in the Vedas)

Preface

Are your Top-hat and Tails straight?  Is your wife’s bouquet in bloom? We are going for a dinner party, both remembered and imagined and our host shall be Dr. T. D. Singh of the Bhaktivedanta Institute. We sat at such tables with such distinguished guests as Prof. Henry Stapp of the Livermore Laboratory; Dr. T. D. Singh, both Doctorate in Chemistry and traditional Bengali monk; Nobel Laureates Charles Townes; Sri John and Lady Eccles; Dalai Lama et al. Our aim is to build at least a little foot-bridge across the chasm that separates the cosmology, medicine, physics, psychology of the West from the East. Over this bridge we think that many valuable items like the rare perfumes and crystals goblets unique to China and Venice may pass, for the unprecedented benefit of our beleaguered modern world.

Who are these Monkeys in splendid livery who hold the door open to this enchanted carriage? Let us see how that is revealed as the different phases of the night progress, but at least let us say that scholarship in theology, Indology, electrical engineering, biology and psychology from Oxford, Berkeley and the far distant Calcutta University shall not be lacking.

Trying to be useful

HpS - AGTSP!   Paoho....   I can't find our 2016 offering. Some things got misplaced when we left the other computer in Peru and then moved to this one. So, we will write a new one right now and post it. I hope it is useful.

Hare Krsna, Prabhu,
AgtSP. Paoho.   Here we are back in our cave in Nashville and gradually getting everything sorted out. The symposium in Peru, "Psychology and the Sacred", was incredible. Now everyone is aiming for a global event in 2018, "Art and the Sacred".
We all listened to your 3rd Canto lecture and then had a discussion on it the following Saturday.
We made up up study questions for each lecture, and the links to listen to them on-line. You can see these Guides at www.jayarama.us/archives/godfather-diploma. Your's are at the bottom at "gf-vais...".
T H A N K   Y O U!

Canto Four?
      Maybe do that about Radhastami? About September 10th?

Your analysis has been very instructive. We think these lectures can be used by all the BhVai programs.
Can you look at more specific situations in Canto Four? In the gf-vais-sb3.docx above I went though a bigger list of the specific preaching encounters in Canto Three. Of course, we had no time this pass to look at each one, but even looking at a few was so amazing. If you could consider several of them and the specific situations and people involved as examples for us to take to heart that might be supper useful to us Sankirtan Slows.

Second thing is that we discussed first getting the educational content of these Six Cantos together, and then addressing the record keeping and educational administration. For our group the Tests are all over the place, if anyone has a copy at all. So this has to be be cleared up, and the same problem exists there for the two groups after us. So, maybe you, me, Hari-lila Das, who is running things in Texas, and our great Hero of Education, Srivasa Pandita Das, can get together for a few minutes by phone and make some strategy for correcting these problems.

For our way of mind, it is just as hard to develop an educational system, as it is to build dozens of Temples! Your association in this perspective has been so, so, so important for us.
