Subject: BhVai - where we are at?

Dear Guru Maharaja and devotees, please accept my humble obeisances. 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Please excuse me for disturbing your bhajan. 

If you allow, I would like to ask where we are at in our BhVai study program?

Also, am I expected to do something about the situation in which the program is now?

Thank you!

ASA - 2014 Oct 8

Hare Krsna!     AGTSP.     Paoho.   Please write to the Blog with all this.
From my perspective we are right at the Lotus Feet of Srila Prabhupada, doing Nama-kirtan, with this program (barely).     We still have the Saturday morning meetings on line, and I send the links to the recordings by Twitter.

We tried our best, which is very tiny, to get the record keeping stuff arranged but:

After about four requests to complete the document list, not all the testing for the last canto done, no report of progress on correcting the examinations, no progress in efforts to involve the temple managements in the administration and development of the program after repeated efforts, then:

We are taking another approach.

We are pretty much waiting for the next step in systematic progress to come from the formal ISV side.
We have looked back at our own heart in terms of this systematic relations with Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet, study of his books, and we recommended that everyone should do that, often!

Our conclusion is that we need to:

  1. Have regular Pada-padma Study every Saturday morning, and we will continue it with SM now.
  2. We need a general Spanish class at SM every Saturday evening.
  3. We have a BhS program going with NGD, we are joining the Boise, Anantarupa Lilamrta class Friday evening and that is about it.
  4. All this is in intense perspective with the Ministry of Education etc.
  5. We will post this letter on the Blog!
  6. So....    please Chant Nitai-Gaura, HK/HR and join us Saturday. This week we will do our overview of the First Two Cantos, then some one else can do something that tickles their fancy the following week.

Let's all go to Goloka!  Let's all stay in the very same boat!   Let's all stay in the Sankirtan movement, ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada, will keep us all afloat (with the words he wrote)!
