Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaj, Pamho, AGTSP!
This is my regular ekadasi report. I'm trying to discipline myself a bit more. Writing to you every two weeks compels me to readjust things constantly.
HpS - ASA -- Publishing the Kapi Dhvaja every two weeks forces us to live a more regular life!!
Personally I do not have much to say. I regularly follow everything: 16 rounds, four principles and mangalartik. Some days I'm still a bit loose (I'm mandah, lazy). Chocolate ice cream and Netflix. But I do not stop doing my duties.
I have several students, classes practically every day, I continue to help in the temple, etc. I have even actively participated in a couple of FFL.
My basic concern is to implement education in the region more systematically. Today we have a meeting in Wilson several of the former NIMSAR to continue working on the subject of Bhakti sastri and Bhakti Vaibhava and the possible revival of NIMSAR. Is it possible?
I hope that when you come we will have things more clears and can help us to up-lift these programs.
I have a very good relationship with Mathuresh Prabhu and I hope to collaborate with him as much as I can on the subject of education along with other devotees.
The experience of Cuzco was very good and I will return in August to continue my service there. If Arequipa invites me, I can also help with the educational issues.
I also saw M. Goura Gadhadara and perceived that his [her] service was too strong [heavy]. In fact, a few days ago he had pneumonia. She had suffered from her lungs since she was very young. It [she] is going to take some time off. She will go to the Sacred Valley for a few days to recover. This tells me once again that the authorities of ISKCON have to watch over the welfare of the devotees. Their duty is to protect and give service, but often they only give service until the devotee collapses and goes home. Education for the Brahmanas, but also for all Ksatriyas and all.
Well, I hope to see you soon to receive your holy association and try to progress a little more in my spiritual life and my service.
We have to talk soon about your SA tour. I have a couple of suggestions and topics to develop here. Organize some initiations, education, etc.
Ys, lad
ASA - Hare Krsna. LaD. How is the Blue Baboon!! Of course, we talked for one hour this morning on Skype about all this. As we just wrote in the letter to Yugala-kishora Dasi if we are going to re-activate Nimsar in Peru then we would have to have a clear proposal with selection of President et al, and then aproval of the National Council or other local authorities. This morning you mentioned developing the ISKCON educational ministry in Peru as another option.
We have to develop very careful program of Netflix or next lifetime we will be worms in vegetarian stool in India or wife of Indra or something, no!
Start writing stories! Lad-Flixs!

Also as we discussed, everyone can get oriented to the June 15th-18th, Fourth Annual Symposium on Education with ISKCON, in Seattle. We will broadcast it on Start Meeting and you all can join. Maybe one Session can be Education with ISKCON in the Western Hemisphere and you can even get a similtaneous translator for then.
O.K. Thank you for your association. Hope your internal life is waking up and you are only dealing with this reflection for purification and Sankirtan!!!!! See you next Monday at 7.57AM.
