asa[e] asa camp

(rev. 25 08 02)

Srila Prabhupada would have a permanent space at the top of his letters label, "Camp:". Then the Secretary would type or write in the location where Srila Prabhupada was camped when the letter was sent eg. ISKCON Temple Juhu.

This always struck us as very nice. We are all actually just camping in this material world. It is not our real home. Of course, this is especially true for the Sannyasis and itinerant preachers.

We have WhatsApp group(s) for our current (and recurrent) ASA Camp(s). For example, today, 25 08 02, we are camped at 902 Hillcrest Dr., Murfreesboro, TN37128.

In General:

These Groups are especially for the logistical arrangements of the Camp, not philosophical discussions 🤔

eg. food, lodging, transportation, program.

Daily Agenda

~Morning - We get up early and get our rounds done, with enthusiasm. Join us. Early has now become by 12.40AM, then we do Japa (on line if we can) until 3.30AM and because it is enthusiastic we may make thundering noises, so please let us know if we are bothering anyone.

Then we have Full Morning Program (FMP) from 4.30AM to 5.30AM with Mangala arati, reading (usually Spanish but can make toward bi-lingual if guests), then chanting/chatting.

Usually SB class from 7.30-8.30AM followed by Breakfast Prasadam. We usually eat light in the morning and save the rest for in our lunchbox for our picnic with everyone.

After Breakfast we check the mail, communicate with everyone with whom we are working about our day's Sankirtan schedule.

Usually available for basic interviews after full morning program and before the evening program. During the day scheduled events and private work projects.

~Evening Program - Flexible, but often go to the Temple or Temple-room in our Hosts Ashrams for chatting and Bhajans. Often join Sri Sri Radha Natabara Sanga on line.

Diet

Maha-prasad! AgtSP, we always offer everything to our Istadevata, Lord Nrsmha deva. He is supposed to have a tablespoon of Ghee and some squash daily.

Puris and Raita are very nice!

No Quinoa and no, no, soya! Soya gives us headaches. 😧

Beyond that we follow Jayananda Das' diet: Don't eat too much and work hard.

Sadhu sanga

Because we, HpS, Tom Brown and Buck White et al🐵 🐖 👽, are mostly B'caris and Sannyasis we are only allowed short term contact with the opposite sex for preaching purposes only. No conversations in secluded places. https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/16/1-3/#bb3635.

So, staying alone in house 🏠 or driving alone in auto 🚙 just agitates everyone's mind. One practical approach for Grhastha Ashrama is that host, Gentleman, is present when we are present and if he goes out we go with him. Often what we do if Gent goes to work, we go with him and can camp at the library etc while he is out, or another Gentleman can come to give us all company in the home, or we can take his car after after dropping him for work and go joy riding in the country. 🙂

Lord Caitanya had 3-1/2 intimate associates: Svarupa Damodara, Ramananda Raya, Sikhi-mahiti, and Sikhi-mahiti's Sister. Srila says that ladies are counted as 1/2 in Vedic culture 🙂

. Strange. She never talked personally with the Lord but was one of the 3.5 most intimate associates of the Lord!

Accommodation

We have lived through Lokannatha Maharaja's Braja Mandala Parikrama and one of the hottest years in 35-years in Kolkata prepping The Second World Congress for a Synthesis of Science and Religion for B. S. Damodara Swami's Bhaktivedanta Institute. So, we can live with just three paces of land to our arms extension and a place to fill our bucket with water! Mother Matsya Devi Dasi called us the Maintenance Free Sannyasi. 😳

Srila Prabhupada said, "Become self-realized, build your character, and preach".

We really like a hard surface, not soft beds. How about you? Our feet swell up if we sit in a chair much, so we like to sit, sleep and work in the same spot. Putting a piece of 3/4" plywood on the bed with a yoga mat is great!

😕

(This man is nuts). We heard that Romapada Swami sleeps on the floor also!

Well, 🐵

, guess that is about all. Please text us at our ASA Blog: MonkeyWarrior.Com, with your camping tricks. We will try to revise this post from time to time.

Camping out is fun for the whole family!! ⛺

asa[e] tom's trash 25 08 02

obeying, agtSP, jack london, we 🐵

🐒

🐒 🐒continue to write our 100,000 words of trash rummaging through hanumatpresaka swami's attic stash.

there was man named ricardo alfonso brihuega cook, who decided to write a book, about a monkey who was writing a book, about a man named, cook, who gave a cat a dirty look. are there cats in braja dhama or by buddha are they forsook?

cats cannot be vegetarian. they must eat meat to survive and thrive.

if they were bigger and hungry then they would look upon their owners with a thirsty eye.

yet, prabhupada talks about a guru in the jungle giving milk to a tigress daily and having her smell his little brahmacaris and telling her, that she should not eat his students because he gave her milk.

hare krsna kirtan resolves all things, and very soon we will be knowing all that we need to know to accomplish our assigned missions!

for our mission seems we must die and go to heaven.

there we can just be small.

and on a little cloud we'll crawl

from scene to scene

and play our hoop!

chanting Hare Krsna, and that's just all!

[8/29, 10:17 PM] Yamunesvara Das - Manipura: Hare Krishna, Dandavat Pranam.

How is Guruji's health? Is there any plan to visit India especially Mayapur and Brindavan next year? Please advise me to increase Radha Krishna Prema.

: During Goura Purnima. I am reading Prema Bilas in Manipuri translation. The characters of Srinivas, Naratom and Shyamananda are the next Avatars of Shri Gouranga, Shri Nityananda and Shri Adwaita Prabhu.

HpS - AgtSP. Paoho. Sankirtan!

At our age, our only realistic plan is to really consider that each breath maybe our last.

So, we are working on practical plans to be chanting Holy Names whether our gross body is here or there.

Please help us keep our subtle body with Guru and Gauranga in Radha kunda, Manipur, Nabadvipa.

Doctors estimate that with medication and mechanical enhancements we should be functioning at our current capacity for three maybe five more years.

So some discussion is there amongst the ASA Supreme Undiferentiated Absolute Commado to visit Spain and Radha kunda like January or February with Yadunandana Swami.

agtsp

paoho and best wishes.

all the letters answered except a very nice one about visiting other vaisnavas.

so many times we wonder, "What should we do!? Is there any service that we can do? Feel useful? Ecstatic (Hayagriva)?"

But the answer is always, "Chant Hare Krsna! Chant until you are Happy, Holy, engaged. Chant Pancha tattva!!"

We started a regular Composition Book.

Maybe we will finish it before we leave The Boro.

~Our local calendar is becoming more clear.

~Fixed our return date to Houston as 22nd September.

~Got the Mercedes, with 10% brakes, into "Euro Fix" today. Will see how it fairs.

~Had excellent Noon Day program at Vijaya and Mataji's house.

Honored Prasad 76.666% properly!

~Was 1-1/2 hours with the Board of Examinations with Atul krsna and Laksmana agra ja Das.

Now we join Radha Natabara daily Sandya Sanga!

Hari Bolo 😃 !

Hare Krishna, beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

Thanks for your daily inspiration

HpS - Thank, agtSP, your fortnightly inspiration!!! 😃

Gurudeva, my health is not so good. So I have to take some medications that make me sleep more than I used to. That is why I was not joining the FMS

I am going to make an effort this week.

Hope to see you soon

Trying to be your disciple

CMDD

HpS - Thank you. We... always doubt any medication that does not let us chant Holy Names during Brahma muhurta???! Even if we leave this body doing so!

We have our doubts.

Of course, Krsna can personally sit beside us as even tell us to be the death of 640,000,000 people, so anything is possible if he desires it!!!

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Opportunities can happen at any moment if we are pure devotees of Krsna.

Look at the persona who is teaching us by example!

He as an old man, nearly dead, no success as he was hoping for and then.

! Boom!
