LAD - Sankirtan Report

Hare Krishna, dear gurudeva, Pamho, AGTSP!

There are several issues that I have to tell you. I will try to be brief and summarized.

1.- Education.

I always saw two aspects.

a) My contribution to ISKCON and

b) My contribution to the community in general.

That's why I was encouraged to do a master's degree so that my contribution is more professional. I am missing the thesis that I hope to do next year.

a) I am currently giving the Disciples Course to a group. I also have the Bhakti sastri group that ends this year. Next to them I have some students waiting for the exam. All of them would take the exam approximately in March 2020 with M. Candramukhi as an evaluator. From the beginning we kept the course development separated with the examiner. I have been doing this program for ten years.

My proposal is that we follow the program as it is, basically ASA, until the new proposal scheduled for 2021 comes out. Gandharva prabhu agrees. That is why I am going to propose to make a bhakti sastri for a year, for the last time, until the new proposal appears, with a slightly different design with some innovations that I have been making. I hope they let me work well. My fear remains in the implantation of an academic dictatorship through an immovable standard. I'm sorry, I can't avoid my anarchic tendency.

HpS - I hope Gandharva Das can work out the bureaucratic details. We can help. Srila Prabhupada's diploma.


b) Krishna is taking me along interesting paths. I left the previous job in August and continued wandering, thinking if it would be good to continue working outside, etc. The sankirtan of cultivating the human spirit really compels me.

Then came the initiative of the devotees of Chosica who wanted to have a good education. Over time, two groups with different interests emerged. The first wanted one more Vaishnava thing, to put a name, a Sunday school. The second, wanted something different.

The second group was like in limbo and met with you, basically M. Krsna karmini. And you presented your vision. I offered to participate in a meeting to see what it was. They were going to start practically from scratch.

Finally we had a meeting M. Krsna karmi, M. Padmavati and I, the three educators by profession. A brainstorm began and little by little we realized that we wanted practically the same. Of course we start with the dynamic “Who am I? Who we are? What's the plan? What do we need?"

For now I can only say that something interesting will come up. I will not give the details. In the next meeting we will summon other devotees and discuss and shape the ideas. This is not a report in itself. We will create a minimal organization to draw up the plan. The communications officer will give the appropriate report.

ASA - Avanti School in England!

Personally I feel very excited. When we went to visit that interesting school in Chorrillos, with a large campus, I was very impressed. I told myself, this is what I was looking for. The three mentioned were thinking the same. We will analyze the conformation of the team to work radially, as I say, from a nucleus outward according to the degree of commitment.

I have the impression that the gurukula of 2003 and NIMSAR ceased to exist because the team never consolidated.

Now we hope that Krishna's desire is manifested and if he approves this budding project. It is clear to us that it is our sankirtan.


Well, I think we have enough with this. Other issues, later.

Thanks for listening.

Bless, please, my sankirtan, our sankirtan.

Your servant,

Laksmana-agraja das
