Hare Krsna dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope everything continues correctly. I am writing to report on some activities and ask some questions and for some advice:

HpS - Our first advice is to be pretty proud of your efforts to help Srila Prabhupada's movement, thank you.

• You mentioned that an evaluation model is being developed to be implemented worldwide in the Bhakti Vaibhava program. A bank of short answer questions of closed book and open-book essay questions. A few weeks ago I spoke to LAD about the need to do something similar with Bhakti Sastri, at least for the area of ​​Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. We agreed, so we will expand the number of short questions to 75 (true-false, multiple choice, fill in the blanks, etc.) and add some other essay topics. The idea is to be perfectly aligned to BoEx regulations.

HpS - The Boex has just finished a collection of BG questions that they think are pretty standard, but it may be some time before they roll those out. In general, to quote Bhakti vijnana Swami from Russia, we are not fruitive workers. The diplomas and titles actually have real value, but the essence is 1. developing friendship centered around studying Srila Prabhupada's books, 2. That will naturally develop into regular meetings and systems of association, 3. Then we can learn facts, ideas, and have evaluations.

• In relation to this point, I am working on the SB 2.3 questionnaire. Firstly I have chosen reading only the translations of the first three chapters to find the elements of relation. Second, I am implementing the system that you suggest, subtracting the textual fragments and from them the questions.

HpS - Me too. It is nice. It is self propelling. I find more and more depth in the Purports, structure of the book. I really wonder if I can get beyond just a few Cantos in this whole life time! CC is more pastime driven.

• Are there other regional representatives in Argentina and Chile? If so, who are they? Would be convenient to contact them. On the other hand, I would like to contact me directly with the operational representatives in the USA and articulate, in some way, to their network. I am a bit isolated in these latitudes!

HpS - We started that, no? You join the Regional meetings with USA. There is Param-padam Das in Argentina. Do you know him. Then Nara-narayana Rsi Das. He is there also and wanted to help. Whatsapp us and we will try to get you their email address.

• Karuna Krishna prabhu has contacted me to develop an online preaching program for Chosica temple. Free online conferences and seminars. Any suggestion? Could you participate in a two or three session seminar? For the moment, Pada Padma and Bhakti Sastri are teaching online normally.

HpS - NOI and whatever closed topic seminars that anyone wants to and is qualified to do. Eg. Rupa Siksa, CC Madhya 19.

• The regional sastric education program was beginning to develop vigorously. LAD and I in Chosica, Isvari Radha dd in Wilson, Deva Deva Vyasa prabhu and his online BS program for San Borja et al., Rupa Gosai prabhu and the BS in Guayaquil, Maharsi prabhu and his Introduction course to Bhakti Yoga in La Paz. For now, online programs survive, others should wait.

HpS - You say, "was". Were they victims of the Karuna virus? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlVfVBFdMaM (extracting gold from a messy place).

That's all gurudeva

I await your recommendations and thank you very much for the opportunity to serve you.

HpS - Our practice, which I can recommend, is to read a little of different books every day. Involve others sometimes and do it alone others. We do:

CC before managala arati.

NOD (Iso now) after.

SB regularly developing things and focus with the community and your intest

Lilamrta during breakfast

NOI each evening

KRSNA book and hot milk before taking rest. All for the purpose of distributing them. Hear them and they will come out of your mouth, mind, heart.

Your servant
