<p>Dear brothers and sisters,   
  please accept my humble obeisances. </p>
<p>All glories to Srila Prabhupada.</p>
<p>We just visited Sridham Mayapur and of course Bhaktivedanta Academy and I   
  would like to mention just few words.</p>
<p>It was very inspiring to participate Sm's lectures and talk with him.   
  (Like we know he is officially called vanachary or prabhu or whatever but   
  like everybody there was calling him maharaja so do I here)   
  We had already heard from many sannyasis that he is in strong happy KC, and   
  definitely he is.</p>
<p>During the festival he was giving the seminary &quot;Bhagavata philosophy of
  the   
  mind&quot; which is based on his new book. That book will be printed soon. The   
  seminary continued about 3-4 weeks. It was done together with one nice   
  devotee who has a degree from psychology. That devotee gave some comments   
  from the western point of view. He said that maharaj has helped him so much   
  with these deep and clear sastric explanations. Besides of the main group of   
  participants there were our good old brothers like Kalavinka, Jagannath   
  Misra, Pandava, Prema Vanya prabhus and also some of our sisters.</p>
<p>Outside the festival time Sm has been giving the Bhaktivaibhava seminaries   
  together with H.H. Bhaktividya Purna Maharaja. They started in the beginning   
  of December last year. Like some Maharajas and Prabhupada's disciples who   
  have been visiting there said to me, these are really the best kind of   
  teachings. I agree.</p>
<p>In addition to the normal lectures they have time for questions and answers,   
  the students can share their realizations, there are also dramas etc. Of   
  course there are some homeworks to be done, esseys or questions. About 40-50   
  students are normally participating. And there is no charge for the studies,   
  only for the course material which is about 100 Rs per month, The spring   
  season is continuing until Nrsimha Caturdasi from monday to friday. The   
  autumn season continues the same way in the beginning of september.   
</p>
<p>If you are intrested in these lectures, Kasisvar prabhu from Ukraine is doing
  all the   
  recordings there. His e-mail address is kasisvar@mail.ru. You may ask if   
  the could send these also to you, and if he can, it is polite to give him a   
  donation to cover the expences.</p>
<p>One evening Jagannath Misra and me had many hours of discussion with Sm in
  his   
  room. He was enthusiasticly explaining us the basic plan for the Bhakti   
  sastri they are starting next year. That will for example explain the   
  connections between those four books studied in course and teach them at the   
  same time. It sounds really intresting and logical.</p>
<p>Anyway, just to mention some basic news. In general Sm was fully engaged to   
  all these projects, healthy and happy.</p>
<p>Hoping you are well,</p>
<p>Your servant, <br>
  Tattvavada das </p>
