ART AND THE SACRED 2018, FIRST REPORT

6 years, 8 months ago by abhiramdas in Special Category B

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada !! All the Glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami !!

I am making this report on a 108% Auspicious day as it is the Glorious and Transcendental appearance of Sri Krishna. HAPPY JANMASTAMI TO ALL !!

I have tried, through Saday Nimay Nitay, to concretize the AGREEMENT OF COMMITMENT for the event ART AND SACRED 2018, but, on the one hand, Walter was on vacation in Europe (we talked, he is very enthusiastic about the Event and has accepted to be co-director of the Organizing Committee). Ramón is participating in the celebration of the 400 years of the departure of Santa Rosa de Lima. We have invitations to attend your conference at the Municipal Theater in Lima on Wednesday, August 23, we are going to go with Walter and Luis Torino. And finally, Oscar has been promoted to receive the NATIONAL CULTURE PRIZE in the creative category, on August 25, the process is finished, this is the most important recognition given to an artist in Peru, so I humbly apologize for the delay of this email, I wanted to write you with more successful results, but, from experience, I can say that these will be seen starting of the first days of September.

ADVANCES:

We have defined the main contents of the event:

1) SACRED IMAGES: Exhibition of pieces of art. At this point Ramon has proposed (Oscar, Walter and I agree) that it is a sample rather than quantity of pieces, a sample of few pieces, but well representative of the sacred art of Peru, India, China, Japan and Egypt. It's okay?
HpS = ASA -- Yes!

2) SACRED SCENIC ARTS: The INTEGRO GROUP will carry out an interdisciplinary staging. At this point, we are evaluating the literary basis of this activity.

HH Hanumatpresaka Swami to suggested DON QUIJOTE DE LA MANCHA by Miguel de Cervantes.

Héctor Béjar, THE MOTIVES OF THE WOLF by Rubén Darío

Oscar Naters, THE SACRED BOOK OF THE ANDES Translated by José María Arguedas.

Ramón Mujica told me that this Friday 18 was going to give his proposal

Duration: between 40 - 50 min.

3) SACRED SOUNDS AND DANCES

4) SPECIAL EDITION OF SOLARIS No. 3.

5) INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM THE ART AND THE SACRED

As for the film, Oscar told me to inform him that due to the contest, from next week he will devote himself fully to the pre production, talking with him and Ramón we saw that a key point are the questions of the Dialogues, perhaps the blog is the best way for all to contribute to define, what are the key questions to present ART AND THE SACRED, for example: How to encourage everyone to start or develop their spiritual life? The next 15 days we hope to receive your suggestions, thank you very much.

To finish, we just uploaded the video of last year's event, here the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2IDfcJPg_M

ASA - Thank you so, so much for this upload, we can really use it.

I will try to report every 15 days to maintain a more fluid and constant communication by this means.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, his useless servant, Abhiram Thakur das.

EL ARTE Y LO SAGRADO, PRIMER REPORTE

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

¡Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!! ¡Todas las Glorias a Hanumatpresaka Swami!!

Estoy haciendo este informe en un día 108% Auspicioso como es la Gloriosa y Trascendental aparición de Sri Krishna. FELIZ JANMASTAMI A TODOS!!

He tratado, Saday Nimay Nitay mediante, de concretar el ACUERDO DE COMPROMISO para el evento EL ARTE Y LO SAGRADO 2018, pero, por un lado, Walter se encontraba de vacaciones en Europa (acaba de llegar, ya hablamos, está muy entusiasmado con el evento y ha aceptado ser co-director del Comité Organizador). Ramón está participando en la celebración de los 400 años de la partida de Santa Rosa de Lima. Tenemos invitaciones para asistir a su conferencia en el Teatro Municipal de Lima el miércoles 23 de agosto, vamos a ir con Walter y Luis Torino. Y por último, Oscar ha sido promovido a recibir el PREMIO NACIONAL DE CULTURA en el rubro Creatividad, el 25 de agosto acaba el proceso, este es el reconocimiento más importante que se le da a un artista en el Perú, así que humildemente le pido mil disculpas por la demora de este correo, quería escribirle con resultados más logrados, pero, por experiencia, puedo decir que estos se verán recien a partir de los primeros días de setiembre.

AVANCES:

Hemos definido los principales contenidos del evento:

1)IMÁGENES SAGRADAS: Exhibición de piezas de arte. En este punto Ramón ha propuesto (Oscar, Walter y yo estamos de acuerdo) que sea una muestra más que de cantidad de piezas, una muestra de pocas piezas, pero bien representativas del arte sagrado de Perú, India, China, Japón y Egipto. ¿Está bien?

2)ARTES ESCENICAS SAGRADAS: El GRUPO INTEGRO realizara una puesta en escena interdisciplinaria. En este punto, estamos evaluando la base literaria de esta actividad.

SS Hanumatpresaka Swami ha sugerido DON QUIJOTE DE LA MANCHA de Miguel de Cervantes.

Héctor Béjar, LOS MOTIVOS DEL LOBO de Rubén Darío

Oscar Naters, EL LIBRO SAGRADO DE LOS ANDES traducido por José María Arguedas.

Ramón Mujica me dijo que este viernes 18 iba a dar su propuesta

Duración: entre 40 - 50 min.

3) SONIDOS Y DANZAS SAGRADAS.

4)EDICION ESPECIAL DE SOLARIS No. 3.

5)SIMPOSIO INTERNACIONAL EL ARTE Y LO SAGRADO

En cuanto a la película, Oscar me dijo que le informara que, debido al concurso, a partir de la próxima semana se va a dedicar de lleno a la pre producción, hablando con él y Ramón veíamos que un punto clave son las preguntas de los diálogos, tal vez el blog sea el mejor medio para que todos contribuyan a definir, cuales son las preguntas claves para presentar EL ARTE Y LO SAGRADO, por ejemplo: Como animar a todo el mundo a iniciar o desarrollar su vida espiritual?, Durante los próximos 15 días esperamos recibir sus sugerencias, muchas gracias.

Para finalizar dos puntos más: 1.- Acabamos de subir el video del evento del año pasado, aquí el link:

Voy a tratar de reportar cada 15 días para mantener una comunicación más fluida y constante por este medio.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, su inútil sirviente, Abhiram Thakur das

HpS -ASA -  Muchismas gracias sus esfuerzas. From our viewpoint unless we have the dialogs every two weeks the project will not go ahead. I am 100% focused on the movie, Art and the Sacred - A Pilgrim's Progress. We sent a detailed letter to Dr. Kalyankumar Chakravarty. Our next step depends very much on how he responds, if he can take up the work of developing the IDEA for the movie.

We are still thinking of basically a trip from Peru to New York, London (Spain), Delhi and meeting importan people along the way for their ideas of how we can enhance the production of Art within this world that will define, animate and satisfy our Spiritual aspects.

Of course we are thinking of this in a lot of depth and cannot exist without inspired input from others such as you, Oscar, Anandamaya, Jagat pavitram, Nitai-gaurasundara Das ......

Again, thank you for your really great sacrifices for all these projects. This has been the result of the sacrifice of many people and Krsna knows to heart of each of us.

The fotos are wonderful. We hope we can download them and use them!
