Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaj. Pamho, AGTSP!

I am a bit slow for communications, but I like to have something solid to say.

ASA - AGTSP!!!! paoho. Then this biography might interest you.

Two points:

1.- Education.

I liked your idea of ​​three levels of Pada Padma students. It's natural. Let's see if it works. I'm starting soon.

Some questions about it. According to what I understand, then, it will be an exam as you have described it. I guess students will be have a bank of questions beforehand so they can be trained, right?

ASA - Yes, that is our idea. Many short answer closed book questions and open book essay questions that are subject to oral presentation for evaluation. Dharma for ladies in Canto One. Examples and principles of reception in Canto One...

So, the old ASA system of one essay per chapter is abolished? I think tpp are still good. I may make some notes with the documents you sent.

ASA - We are thinking of a system where people can get certified by Canto and then take up the next Canto when it is convention.

Apart from a Bhakti sastri and a Disciples Course, soon to start, I will also give some (4) seminars throughout the year. It will be on Sundays immediately after Srimad Bhagavatam's class in Chosica. I have proposed that the first two be about communications in ISKCON.

The first on internal communication and another on external communication, that is, the local community, institutions, etc. These two points seem vital to me. Many times the lack of good internal communication, and therefore relationships, generates misunderstanding that does not allow us to grow. Likewise, due to poor external communication we have lost our influence in the community. Of course, as a devotee commented to me, without a solid spiritual foundation, a solid sadhana, these issues would only be inconsequential rhetoric.

HpS - Sounds very nice!!!

The third and fourth seminar would be about Srila Prabhupada. One about his position in ISKCON and another about the importance of reading and studying his books. I believe that all these seminars will be of benefit to all.

ASA - Super!

2.- VAD

My relationship with Raman reti mataji is very solid. We get up (each one is his house, of course) at 3 am to chant our rounds. It gives me time to do some readings and then connect to the FMP. We also read the Krsna book together (by phone) at night.

Our plan, with the blessings of you and the devotees, is to go to Chile at the end of July to bring her to Peru to prepare our home and get married in November, settle down and start our life together. It is very clear to us that the reason for getting married is to help us be better devotees, better people and make our sankirtan together. We have several plans about it.

ASA - HpS - Santa Rosa of Lima - Confucious --- Hare Krsna. God Bless you! Plan for eternity, but also realize that you are both individuals and that marriage is just one part of your reality.

Thank you for being so understanding and tolerant of me.

Your eternal servant

Laksmana-agraja DAS

ASA - Rama Das!!!!! See you in one month! So much we can do, no?
