Dear Maharaj,
PAMHO AGTSP!
I can definitely try to put something together for Ram Navami.
I need some more clarity.
So you would like the story to not have too many sci-fi or wizardry elements but more modern archetypes, so that the story is relatable?
Or can we use magical elements and just not sci-fi?
This will help me in forming the story.
HpS - We, agtSP, struggle with this ourselves, so ask a lot of people, and let us know their opinions also. One standard that keeps coming to me is a phrase from Srila Prabhupada, "Whatever sells books is legal".
Yet this must be taken with depth.
If it sells one book today and gets us blocked from selling 1000 books in the next month, then it is not legal.
If it sells one book to a future book distributor, social leader, Prakazananda Sarasvati, then it is legal.
Clarify your audience.
Magical fiction//SF, modernization all seem important in the Sankirtan perspective. Think about it. Talk with others. Try something out. Watch the results.
Regarding my sadhana at Kalarigram, yes they know I’m a Gaudiya Vaishnava and they allow me to skip 1st morning class for my sadhana. However I’m still trying to figure out a schedule in which i can do both. But as a bottom line I aim to finish chanting before breakfast as you guided.
ASA/HpS - We also!!!
Now we join FES with Radha Natabara!!
Your work seems to be going well. Basic parameters fine. Just refining things so that you can be an active participant in Nitya-lila.
Yas,
