All Glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, Srila Prabhupada and Harinama Sankirtan Movement!
Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my most humble obeisances, we do not talk a while since your last visit, but since that time, to education symposium, which you directed, I have been concerned to approach the area of education from my perspective and that it could bring it.
Using a little everything I've learned so far, with the invitation of some devotees as Sri Bhakti Das (disciple of His Holiness Dhanvantari Swami) and inspiration that the symposium and all we could see of each of the devotees, around the world, who are providing education for ISKCON, I did a cooking class in a juvenile prison, with around 30 young people between 14 and 18 years imprisoned for robbery with violence and such cases. We were nearly three hours with the guys talking about how we should cook and the importance of offering this to Krishna with love and devotion, was a good result, the group kept quiet and very appreciative of the visit.
And this Friday (11-12-2015) I did "The first cooking class" at a school for children with special educational needs, a group of about 9 children, the teacher in charge and an assistant, I took my deities, we cooked sweet balls of Banana and coconut, they kept the commitment not to try before you offer, and collaborated with the offering, silently, recited the maha mantra and waited patiently to take Kirshna Prasada!!!! it was really rewarding experience, all the time together children school, teachers, administrative and played bhajanas with Sri Bhakti and his wife Indira Jahnava mataji, another major achievement, the children were very quiet and attentive listening to the chanting of The Holy Names.
On the advice of Jagadguru, I send this report to You know that your work is a constant source of inspiration to us, the idea of having a school in the yatra is something we hope to realize, that all this is to please Srila Prabhupada and continue expanding his legacy.
sending pictures of the last program.
AGTSP!
