Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaj. Pamho, AGTSP!
I'm in Chosica again doing my service on education.
I wrote to you before asking for permition to continue my service under ASA due to the necesity of helping devotees in that area and you asnwered "cool". So I started several study groups. I think you forgot due to your several services etc.
HpS - ASA --- I remember in general and I think I indicated that it was O.K. to work as a member of ASA BUT if there were going to be specific details we had to work those out. We don't even have those for Nimsar to this point. The money we gave for legalizing Nimsar went to Baladeva's visit, no? We never got system worked out for even the Bh.Sastri diplomas with the National Council, but, to quote Bh. Vijna Swami of Russia, we are not fruitive workers. We want to teach even if there is not a formal system.
Some people got upset when you ask if I'm teaching despite NIMSAR suspension. I'm teaching as ASA teacher. Please, write about it, and confirm that if necesary, or tell me stop the programs. I'm just trying to cover a lackness in the area. I'm doing it for service. This makes me look that I'm cheating. Well. may be I'm. I think you know me well enough. If I don't do this I'll probably be watching movies and having chocote icecream all day long and eventually acompany that with some pot cause I'm a rascal.
I'm sorry for these stupid commentaries.
My paper work went wrong so I'll probably start my master degree in Agost if I still have the enthusiasm.
your stupid disciple.
(I don't know why I'm getting touchy lately).

HpS - Again, we certainly agree that anyone can teach from Srila Prabhupada's books, especially if they are an ISKCON Brahmana. So, I don't see that you are doing anything wrong in doing that, go ahead! But, and also again, if we want to give formal diplomas: Guru-disciple, Bh. Sastri, Bh. Vaibhava, then we have to work those out with the Ministry of Education according to their rules. Nimsar was never approved for the Bh. Vaibhava diplomas, we all know that, and told everyone very clearly that I was stopping to be the Examiner for the Bh. Sastri diplomas.
What do you want to do?
What is your service to Krsna and Prabhupada even if everyone else falls away?
I want to join you in that! I hope we are finding the answers to the above two questions for ourself and communicating it here in the Blog, Kapi-dhvaja, person contact, Twitter, etc.
If you want to give ASA approved courses, O.K. Present them to us and we will work on it. We are doing TLC now and maybe give and ASA certificate in the end. It would not be a Ministry certificate. If you want to do the Bh. Vai./ Bh.Sastri then like Nimsar, it has to be approved.
Do you want to do that?? It would be very nice. I am struggling to continue and advance those certificates and programs in both North American [and South America [and India [and everywhere]]].
What do you say?
Go ahead teaching the subject matter for sure if you can! ASA approves that as we always have.
For Ministry approved certificates we will have to make some plan, work? Maybe Bolivia could become an approved Bh. Vaibhava Center????
Eagerly awaiting your replies, even though you are "touched" (Means Crazy in American English).
