Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj,
Please accept our humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
In advance Gurudev we want to thankyou for being willing to tolerate us and our deficiencies. We notice that we have some organizational abilities but we can also see Krsna engages us in services for which we feel we lack skills in at times. Krsna has a great sense of humor (we were asked to give the Krsna Lounge talk on patience! Ha! Vaisheshika Prabhu gave a class on patience and referenced the Japanese art of Shankankan: focusing on cultivating one value at a time) Please help us refine this schedule Guru Maharaj. We learn a lot by watching your ability to prioritize and organize preaching endeavors first and foremost.
We have been trying to coordinate with Radhika Raman Prabhu, BSU events center, and other Boise devotees about schedule possibilities. Here are our notes on possible festivals, seminars, wisdom talks, and smaller SB/BG/ Sunday feast preaching opportunities thus far. We remember you had mentioned online seminar/meetings, needing time to interview/film so if the events mentioned below seem to extraneous (we could opt out Friday BG classes for example) please refine.
Murari prabhu would like to know the ideal grocery and supply list (raw milk,l potatoes, for Lord Nirsimha? Any butter, spices, etc) Possibly you can send us a Bhoga/supply list so we are not deficient in any items. Please let us know Gurudev how we can best serve you. Your happiness is our happiness. 🙏
Buck White - ASA - AgtSP!!! Potatoes for baking (white and sweet), carrots, sweet oranges and apples, split peas, salt, butter, black pepper, Oats, some nuts and milk....
Jaya Madan bihari Bhoga.
We would like to advertise the Thursday Krsna Lounge program lecture series (May 19th, 26th, June 2nd and 9th). Please let us know what title would work best for the series and any relevant description. Guru Maharaj you previously discussed CG Jung’s little red book as a focus for these nights or Light of Bhagavat: White cloud wandering monk visits Boise Krsna Lounge. We will make advertisements for the lecture series this weekend.
HpS - With Jaya Hari Das we caught Nitisara Das and also had some discussion with him.
Krsna lounge can be Floating White Cloud Monk visits Boise. [ ttd ] We will send you the soft file.
Title can be Science, Psyche and Spirituality - The Encounter of Carl Gustav Jung with the Bhaktisiddhanta of Traditional Inda.
What is the self beyond the body
What is the self as a body!
Go back to the world of 19th century Bengali mysticism and the formation of modern psychology with Jung and Freud.
Also we have asked BSU events about lecture hall rentals as well as a professor we know that should be able to secure the event for us l. We are looking at the first week Radhika Raman will be here since school will still be in session. Would Wednesday the 18th of May or Friday May 20th be too soon for a lecture?
Fine, same as above.
Should it be accompanied with a short cultural program before the event?
Always. 10-minutes of energetic Sumo wrestling.
Another option is to schedule the lecture the last week of May or second week of June when Radhika Raman returns.
Too many other things by then. Invite Lounge and BSU folk to visit each others programs.
The only drawback to a June event is Attendance would be lower due to summer school. Please also let us know the title of the lecture and short descriptions for the event Guru Maharaj. We would like to know more details about how long the lecture may be. Is this an event you are interested in Guru Maharaj? If not, we apologize for misunderstanding this outreach program.
All topics above. We will adapt to the audience once we see them.
Another highlighted event is Snana Yathra on May 22nd and bringing Jaganatha and company on the Rathayathra Paluquin through BSU to Julia Davis park on June 5th. We wanted to ask you Guru Maharaj what an appropriate name would be for the event. Festival of India, Boise Bhakti Festival, Festival of Peace or Chant for Peace Festival?
I think you already got some name. We would suggest - The Terrible Jaggernaut Rolls Again - For Five Thousand Years the Festival has been attended by thousands of ecstatic devotees of the Supreme Lord, Master of the Universe, and His beautiful festival rolls over the demons within and outside of crushing them into composte.
HpS - The NitiSara Das is looking, has he mentioned it? For two brothers to do professional video and picture recording of the event. Lot of thoughts about how to organize the parade.
