Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja,

Please, accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Dear Gurudeva, I am very happy to tell you that the last two weeks have been very profitable for NIMSAR. On Sunday, we got together to work on a 6-hour session defining outstanding issues. Academic and organizational issues were discussed but most  important was to appoint working committees to address important and urgent issues. Need to work regulations and statutes, as well as the mission, vision and values ​​of the institution, not only to define a subtle level, but to be able to commission Mataji Isabelle to the logo design and establish a visual communication strategy appropriate for the blog and the Facebook page. We'll take advantage of Prahladanada Swami and Bhakti Bhusana Swami's visits in november and december and we will request them specific classes organized by the group. We believe necessary to promote academic conferences but also issues related to values ​​and other educational practices necessary for daily and ongoing devotee development. We have defined the details for the NIMSAR's tour group to Chile and Bolivia  and requested the permits for organizing the seminar on the position of Srila Prabhupada in ISKCON commemorating the date of his disappearance. The lecture is in charge of  Karuna Krishna das and he is preparing an interesting and exciting lecture. Furthermore the agenda of the National Education Congress November was defined.

 HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!  Paoho. We wish to comment that this seems great.

Yesterday we had a chat with Hanuman Prabhu and about 12 devotees on Leadership in education, this event was organized by NIMSAR and had excellent results. It was a high level discussion and many opinions about the educational future of ISKCON were expressed. We also talked about transformations within ISKCON and the role of education in these times. The devotees were pleased with the event. We trust Lord Jagannatha to inspire us to serve more and better to His devotees. I'll be reporting you next ekadasi, Gurudeva.

I say goodbye to you, begging for your health 

Your servant

Bhakta Germán
