We are trying to arrange partnership between NIOS and Bhakti Vedanta Research Center in Kolkatta/Mumbai.

We made some suggestions to Sumana Rudra, director, about working on the Jung project ect and here is his answer:

"[4:24 PM, 5/7/2022] Hp Swami: Dear Maharaj,

My dandavat pranams to you. Hare Krishna!

I am sorry I could not revert to you earlier as I have been travelling extensively. We are very grateful for all that you have mentioned regarding working in collaboration with BRC. 

We are eagerly looking forward to collaborating with NIOS for all the academic activities you have listed. We will share with you some reports of BRC activities and a couple of MoUs (Memorandum of Understanding) we have with other institutions.

BRC will be very happy to host yourself and the NIOS team in September. I am happy to note that Radhika Raman Prabhu had recently participated in our conference “Bhakti in Vaishnava Tradtions”. It is a pleasure to know that Prabhu will also be part of the September conference. I will also connect with Dr. Samaresh as you have advised. 

Thank you.

Regards,

Sumanta

[4:24 PM, 5/7/2022] Hp Swami: I also contacted his son, Satadal, in the South and he said that he was trying to arrange that Dr. could print them in the house.   I am also forwarding your letter to Sriman Abhiseka Singh (Abhiseka Das) our current NIOS President. He also just became like Chief Legal Counsel for Conflict Resolution Office for ISKCON.  Thank you.  More news as it becomes available.

[4:26 PM, 5/7/2022] Hp Swami: Estimado Abhiseka Das...  Do you know Sumanta?  He is like director for the Bhaktivedanta Research Center in Kolkata. They have an authorized PhD program with Bombay Univerity. ETC.  E T C!"
