Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:
AGTSP, AGTU, PAMHO
Thank you so much for joining yesterday in our meeting for the Sri Vyasa puja. In [It] meant a lot for all of us. When you left we started to coordinate with the Godbrothers and sisters that were present. It was really encouraging.
I still have some doubts about the program that is [erase] I am posting here so that you can approve it or not.
One general comment here. Since the very begining Palika and I were just trying to do some kind of organization due to we see that there was not any, at least proactive. It has been very challenging trying to please everyone or at least that everyone feels supported and included. I can speak to myself and on behalf of Palika dd that we want that all can take part of this momentus occasion. We are in the middle of a pandemic state and due to the Sri Vyasa puja is going to be in the Boy Scouts Club in Chosica we do not know if the internet connection may fail. We were requesting that devotees from different countries record on video sending greetings, something cultural, etc
HpS/ASA - Yes!!
Jambavan has been a great support and also he provides very great ideas. Madhumanjari dd is contributing with some souvenirs. (we can not tell is a surprise)
In the meeting you said that the Sri Vyasa puja may last more than one day. So I was wondering which days? and the time? You said also that all the information will be on the blog. That is why I am writing these queries here
HpS - Vyasapuja is 3rd January, so we could do programs on the 1st and 2nd. Maybe some meetings at Sta Eulalia. Some programs for special groups on line at different times in the day.
Here you have the program:
Vyasa-puja de Su Santidad Srila Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja Gurudeva
lunes 3 enero 2022 (Aparición de Locana dasa Thakura)
Programa
11:00 am Ofrenda de bhoga
ASA - This should go on the same time as the other events but behind a curtain.
11:15 am Bienvenida - Pushpanjali
ASA - Pushpanjali should be at the end, just before Guru-puja. Welcome should be from 11AM to 11.15AM.
11:45 am Guru-puja / kirtana
ASA - This is too long. Should be right after Pushpanjali. 20-minutes. Hari, Hari, Bolo!!!

12:50 pm Ofrenda SS HpS a Srila Prabhupada
1:00 pm Palabras de las autoridades
1:10 pm Ofrendas verbales de los discípulos (presenciales y videos)
HpS - Seems to short. Will be 10 people??? We suggested that these be mixed with cultural programs eg. Biography of Narottama Das by Yadu Swami, recorded cultural programs from Mexico etc. Few words from Virabahu Das??
1:30 pm Prasada y maha prasada
2:00 pm Agradecimiento y despedida
This should be after the Guru puja and then some music in the background so that devotees can associate as the want and honor the prasadam packages as they want.
O.K??
There is a shadow theater that lasts 5 minutes and today Divya dristi dd ask if she can present a puppet show and a play (The hunter and the sage) (20 minutes). So I do not know if she can present her offering on January 3rd or on the other three days that you suggested.
HpS - Other day, because it is too long for that day.
I hope that this letter will help to clarify the whole situation about the Sri Vyasa Puja
HpS/ASA - Yes, it does a lot to clarify the whole situation. 🙂 Should be music playing when devotees enter!
- Kirtan
- Reception
- Addresses by disciples, authorities - mixed with cultural programs
- Puspanjali, Guru-puja, Thanks, Prasadam and informal mixing.
Please I humbly request that you give us your blessings in order to be useful
HpS - I can't give you that!
