Hare Krishna, dear Gurudeva, Pamho, AGTSP!
Tomorrow I'm traveling to Tarapoto (Peruvian jungle) to give for fifth time the disciple course. I'm really excited! I enjoy so much interacting with my students.
I need to impove a lot. That's why I'm very much decided to study my master degree next year. I was thinking of doing it in USA, but it'll demand a lot of financial means and besides my english is not that good, and I guess you need some level of proficency to study in collegue. So I'm investigating here in Peru. Universidad la Cantuta is really going through a very difficult time in politics (for a change) and the academic level is very low now.
I think I'll go for my old university. It's a catholic university. Still in one of the best in Education. Its philosophy and everything was always avant garde, constructivist, and everything that I like...so probably I'll go for that.
Two years! But I think that besides my own progress, It'll be good for NIMSAR to become totally legal in Peru. A University needs people with degrees to lead.
Wish me luck. I'm always trying to do thing for me and the welfare of NIMSAR, ASA, and of course, Srila Prabhupada's mission.
Thanks a lot for your association, I'm very furtunate.

HpS - Jaya! TlgaSP! Paoho. Thank you for all this news. I'm sure it will help others in making their decisions. Prabhupada pushed the academic degrees for some and told others it was worthless. From what I know it seems like it can be very usefull for you. If we consult many people then we will have good counsel and then we will have victory.
Of course, as you mentioned when we talked about this there is the advantage of being in the middle of the University and therefore able to present Krsna consciousness in many ways. This then leads to being a part of the academic community in the professional perspective. Radhika has this advantage. He is head of a Department of Relgious Studies and can introduce good ideas within that enviroment.
