Hare Krsna,
Thank you, SIr. If we can help or be helped in any way by your work then please let us know. We will send general updates without a doubt. In January we will be in India for a program on the Bhagavata Purana with Ravi Gupta and scholars from all over the world that we are organizing at the University of Madras.

Hi
Thanks for the update... I think often of our
meeting in Peru... Since returning I have been busy with
the editing of a volume on Practices of Compassion: An
Interfaith Exploration... It grows out of a Conference
initiated by the Ven Doboom Tulku that I organized in
Hyderabad in January 2016... And I have also completed my
Out of Galilee: the History of Christian Thought as a Great
Conversation....
We have had a hot July and
August, but I have just returned from a week in Northern
Ontario communing with the water, woods, rocks, and loons
.... It was wonderful... Away from phones and internet
and just being present to this glorious creation...
All the best,
Darrol

Subject: HpSwami, Hello.
Jaya Sri Krsna!
Esteemed Scholars, Friends et al,
We are first concerned that you are all well
and in the best of spirits. We have not heard from Jungian
Psychology in New York or Inter-faith Dialog out of Canada
since we parted in Peru! We wrote to Beverely and called
once but have not heard. Any problems?
We have continued with our little efforts to
illuminate the world while also being seduced to some degree
by the forces of darkness in the form of too much nighttime
orange juice and ice-cream.
Ramon continues with great enthusiasm in these
educational lines we saw blossoming in Peru. With the new
President and his newly appointed Minister of Culture, Ramon
may continue as Director of the National Museum for another
five years, but in any case he has already been directly
invited by the new President to be his Director of the
Bi-centennial events for the anniversary of Peru's
liberation from Colonial, political, domination. Of course,
the question of liberation from intellectual and cultural
domination immediately arises and to this extent he is
very, very open to literary or other contributions from
Indian or other perspectives that address this issue in very
practical ways.
"Solaris" magazine is going out in
Spanish and we are already expanding our dialog with
Trans-personal Psychologists. We are quite advanced toward
publishing the English edition. Our current strategy is to
work toward a world-wide symposium in 2018 on "Art and
the Sacred", and during 2017, smaller, effective
dialogs with professionals in the area of "Psychology
and the Sacred". "Solaris" would be the
backbone of developing all this. Very personally we are
starting to work very seriously on a book on
"Sankhya", which is the whole cosmology of the
Vedic wealth. We are enjoying the help of Alejandro, Miguel
Polo and Professor Ravi Gupta. We hope to do something
very useful.
Our heath is
pretty good for 68-years old. Our office/Ashram was invaded
by sometimes mean spiders while we were gone, but we seem to
be winning that war. Our religious institution, ISKCON, is
growing. For example, receiving a robust personal letter of
congratulations from the new Prime Minister of England, and
of course, along with that facing new, very serious
challenges that are complete different from the ones that it
originally faced as a young evangelical movement (God's
Marines).
What is your
news? We are based in Nashville until January 1st, then
go for some Symposia and other work in India until third
week of February. This October-November, we will be in a
little tour of Chicago, Richmond, Raleigh and D.C. Any work
we can do for you? We would certainly like your help in
this "Solaris" and other work!
Sincerely,
Hanmatpresaka
Swami
