Hare Krishna! Dear Gurumaharaj, Pamho, AGTSP!

As I said before, NIMSAR is rethinking some aspects of procedures because communications haven't been very well and that is affecting our relationships within NIMSAR.

I'm been trying to set a meeting, but it seems that we are not quite ready to talk openly about our concerns. We are focus in "doing" things and I don't think is healthy. We are taking desicions sepparatly without consulting each other. 

So I'm presenting here some ideas. Its a rough document, very imperfect. But its just to start with something to talk about. Its actually a reactive document. A lawyer, friend of mine, told me not to worry cause usually laws come as a reaction of certain situation that needs to be address o resolve.

Please, we need a prompt answer. I'm really concerned about NIMSAR communications. We need your good advise to go on. I felt that we are like obstructed. 

Thank you very much.

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna.  Thank you very much for your letter. Yes, a dialog. First thing: Are you obstructed?  Misra-bhagavan Das told me that he heard Prabhupada say that in any situation we may be able to change the actions, plans and perspectives of others or maybe we can't, but we can ALWAYS change our attitude etc toward the situation. Are you happy and clear about how to relate to NIMSAR? This may even mean that there are certain things that you are SURE are UNSURE. In brief, what is your attitude, plans and acts with NIMSAR?

The following is too complicated for us. Maybe start with just one or two of the dicta below and then we can discuss it.
