[Haribol, Cow Conference ~ I'm sure most of you have seen the following

letter from the Spiritual Strategic Planning Team which has been sent out

within

the last few days. I'm just forwarding it the the CC in case anyone hasn't

seen it and to emphatically encourage you all to give this committee some help

Dear list members,

 

 

 

This was recently forwarded to VFCC by Erica (thanks Erica). I would like to

invite and encourage all of the members who have ideas for improving our

relationships, temples, communities, programs, etc. to write to the contact

address listed on the website (described below with link). I know there are a

lot

of intelligent, proactive and determined devotees out there who have a lot to

offer ISKCON and our broader devotional community. Please take this prime

opportunity to share your vision with the members of this project. Now is no

time

to be passive. Let us communicate the vision we hold in our hearts. I have

written to the contact address and have received a nice reply. Please share

your ideas with the SSPT for the benefit of all the souls we are trying to

serve.

 

Yours in service,

Kalavati devi dasi

Dear Vaishnava,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

As a devotee of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Krishna, you may well find

the following of great interest.

 

For many years Srila Prabhupada's American and Canadian disciples

helped pioneerKrishna consciousness around the world. Though in

recent years, ISKCON North America has had more than its share of

problem and struggles, we are now in the beginning of a period of

dynamic change.

 

Srila Prabhupada once told Giriraja Swami that continuing ISKCON in

his absence would require "organization and intelligence." In that

spirit, ISKCON leaders and senior devotees have organized the

"Spiritual Strategic Planning Team" (SSPT) to systematically revive

Krsna conscious development in North America. They have worked hard

with many other devotees to develop over 50 uplifting Initiatives for

ISKCON North America.

 

The SSPT has now invited 100 highly qualified devotees to work on

these Initiatives in Dallas January 22 and 23, 2005. Please share

your input. Regardless of your position, your point of view or even

the country in which you preach, your views are important to us.

 

To look over the Initiatives, please visit our website at

 

http://www.spiritualstrategicplanningteam.com

 

>From there you can easily send your comments and suggestions.

Whatever you send in advance of January 21 will be presented to the

appropriate devotees.

 

Thank you.

 

Your servant,

Gopal Bhatta das, on behalf of the SSPT

 

PS: Please feel free to forward this letter to anyone whose input you
