The text to this article was published at the previous web site of ISKCON Atlanta. When visiting their new web site recently I did not find this article about the Nama-hatta logo anymore. I don't know who wrote it but hope that he or she will have no objections to the publication of this article on namahatta.org. All glories to the unknown writer of this explanation of the Nama-hatta logo!

During the Congregational Educational Festival the devotees from Bolivia presented the second edition of the Spanish Bhakti-vriksha Manual to the Minister for Congregational Development, HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaja. The book has a new, original cover (the windows in an urban setting reveal various devotional activities and meetings going on inside the rooms) and it includes appendixes, present in the English version but not in the first Spanish edition. More Spanish speaking devotees will gain a deeper, more systematic understanding of the Bhakti-vriksha dynamics through this book.

Hari Sankirtan Das, President of the National Council of ISKCON Bolivia, Bhakti-vriksha promoter and responsible for the new production (as well as the previous edition), hands over the book to HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaja. On Hari Sankirtan's right: his wife Mahojjvala Prema Devi Dasi, in charge of the main preaching center in La Paz, the "Centro de Estudios Vedicos" and assistant secretary of the Executive Committee of the National Council, and his daughter, Vrajesvari Vijaya Devi Dasi, studying as a doctor and voting member of the National Council (elected at the festival as representative of the youths). Also in the picture, three Congregational Development Ministry staff; from left to right: Sarva Sakti Devi Dasi, who originally translated the Bhakti-vriksha Manual from English to Spanish, Divya Priya Devi Dasi, in charge of communications, and Seva Swarupa Das, General Manager (and sponsor of the printing).
