Hare Krishna, Dear Gurumaharaja, Pamho, AGTSP
I am writing to inform you that the Cantuta program is almost ready.
Here the program:
Art and the Sacred in Classical India and Ancient Peru
10:00 am Presentation and worship rituals of Traditional Peru and India
HpS - Hare Krsna. AGTSP! paoho. Very nice to hear from you... What is this first section¡? Someone will say a few words of reception and then there will be an Arati?? That would just be 10-minutes, no?
10:30 am Academic Program
Presentation by Professor Huber Robinson
Presentation of a Professor of La Cantuta
(Each professor will have 20 minutes of presentation and 10 minutes of questions and answers)
11:30 am Artistic Presentation
Presentation of dance and traditional music of India (1/2 hour)
Presentation of dance and traditional music of Peru (1/2 hour)
HpS - This seems too long. These dances are quick concentrated and ten minutes is about the maximum that people can tolerate.
12:30 pm Prasadam (NIOS: Halava, La Cantuta: chicha morada)
We hope everything goes according to plan.
HpS - Have you discussed this with Temple authorities and got their apro pro val?
As always, we have the expert help of Professor Durant and the head of the Art Departament. The program is presented as a collaboration between NIOS and The University.
HpS - We should have asked NGD for his approval! He is President of NIOS. If we follow these formalitys then there will be sufficient rain and Chrylers will fall from the sky on Wednesdays.
I also inform you that at the end of the month I will be collaborating with a social aid project of the university led by our friend Professor Juan Malpartida from the Department of Communications, Language and Literature. The project is to promote and implement popular libraries in the community of Chosica. This includes animation programs such as reading marathons, dramatizations, poetic recitals, etc. Obviously we will try to include Vedic literature. With this we will be little by little fulfilling your desire to make sustainable programs in this university dean of Education in Peru. I think this is an important milestone also in fulfilling Srila Prabhupada's dream expressed in his brilliant preface to Srimad Bhagavatam:
"There is a need for a clue to how humanity can become one in peace, friendship and prosperity with a common cause. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam will fill this need, for it is a cultural presentation for the spiritualization of the entire human society.
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam should also be introduced in the schools and colleges, for it is recommended by the great student-devotee Prahlāda Mahārāja in order to change the demoniac face of society. "
On the other hand I have talked with some members of one of the strongest political party in Chosica to participate as an education and culture advisor. This party is very likely to win the municipal elections and I will talk very soon with the candidate for Major. My sister is working in the party and she has made all the contacts. I await your blessings for this other project to materialize as it will surely benefit the community and uplift the social and spiritual consciousness of the people and hence the expansion of Krishna Consciousness.
I hope you are satisfied with our service for the glory of Srila Prabhupada and his ISKCON.
Please, your blessings so that everything goes well.
Your servant,
Laksmana-agraja das
HpS - Jaya! We are struggling to eat properly while traveling! Maybe we should go back to the Temple at 11.30AM for the noon program with Sita Devi???
