All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please recieve our humble obeisances dear Gurudeva.
With great enthusiasm we inform you that we have aquired the Curriculum from the Sunday School Hare Krishna, just as you mentioned us, its a very good program and its a great support and helpfull for a more systematical and professional Vaishnava children education in México.
We are working in the translation and printing of the professor and students manual.
HpS - ASA - Hare Krsna. AGTSP Paoho. I think Mother Priya Sakhi in Lima already has a translation. Asta-sakhi Devi Dasi should know how to contact her or maybe someone else can write to us here with the address.
We will launch the first child's seminar “Watering the seed of bhakti” adressed to three groups by ages: Madhava class (ages 6 to 8) with subject “Devotional practices”; Damodara class (ages 9 to 11) with subject “The material world and the spiritual sky”; Madan Mohan class (ages 12 to 14) with subject “What makes someone Bhagavan?”. This seminary will be imparted by Anuradha DD, Bhaktin Yiyetzi, Satyabhama DD and your servant Gopi Radha DD. We have 16 students already suscribed and waiting for more to join. Its a bit difficult to cheer the congregation, but the kids are the ones that encorage their parents to suscribe them to the seminar.
HpS - Yes, there has to be conscious effort to educate the parents. Once they understand they are very enthusiastic. The school system is based on four things: Students, Teachers, Parents, Community Support. We hope that someone from Mexico has registered for the Symposium in Houston: www.jayarama.us/nas.htm. I think Govinda from Monterrey will be there. Then you can get information about how to start a lucrative pre-school and even a primary school.
We have been recieving support from the temple committee, even though there is a lot to learn in terms of work in cooperation; regardless our own limitations, we have get a very favorable response from the householders and general devotees. What do you think Gurudeva? By now its what we have to offer to you, waiting each day to get better into our service, even if its not too much and to become an instrument of your preaching labor. Thank you very much for your time, and we beg for your blessings for accomplishing this service in the best way we can. His servant Gopi Radha Devi Dasi.
HpS - ASA - Very, very nice. Srila Prabhupad is very happy to hear of these efforts. He said that Sannyasis should teach the children like the Christian monks. Our comments are above. Please go on like this more and more!
