Hare Krsna.

Who wants to help him with his visit. Very, very nice person. He owns an elephant.
Go sightseeing in Lima.
Shopping.
AGTSP!!!

It is 6.13PM now. We leave for EP at NGD ashrama in a little bit. It starts at 7.30PM. Mother Matsya's surgery is like 91% O.K. now. Body live, body die, it's the soul that is low or high.
All the mail is caught up to 3-days ago. Now we do some Disciple Reports.
We worked on our BhVai Essays today. We listened to the Hawaii class, talked with Hari-lila Das, texted Rama-giridhari Das, and spent about 45-minutes watching the Tutorials for the Meta-soft Foundation to learn to apply for Grants.
What do we need the money for that would appeal to these big donors? Of course, some will understand that poetical description of the Infallible Hero is the perfect use of money, but we were also remembering that Hector Behar said that the UN estimates 1,000,000 suicided each year. This is more than all the deaths from all the armed conflicts in the world.
Then 'Art and the Sacred', 'Psychology and the Sacred', are essential to making a better world. More 'Art and the Sacred', less tobacco, but... is getting too late. Unless we get contract signed by National Library this week, we have to really readjust our aims for 2018.
We can do that!
Always have practical, wonderful, plan to serve Krsna! See wonderful results if Krsna wants.
O.K. Disciple Reports,
Japa,
E.P,
Ekadasi tomorrow,
Satuday morning ABC Workshop.
Happy Radha! Happy Shyama! The crazy Monkeys sing their Song.
Another intense letter, that we read, but too intense to publish.
We had all kinds of problems on the Braja mandala Parikrama with Rocks, Witches and other evil things, but we developed the Mantra: In Braja, only Krsna and Balarama kill demons (Others chant, 'Hare Krsna!! Hare Rama!). KB may empower us to use force, but then there will be no bad after taste for any body. We can go to the authorities and ask them to use violence to protect the weak from the strong if good arguments fail!
Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja,
PAMHO. AGTSP!
I hope your spiritual energy is increasing.
Sorry for not writing before.
ASA - Hare Krsna!!!
Our meetings with the study group (Hari bhakta sanghan: Tarangaksi dd, Indira dd, Nitya kisori dd, Rukmini, isvari dd, Gandharva d, Abhinanda d. Juan) are going well.
ASA - Super!
We try to give the best of ourselves by practicing Krsna katha. We already have tasks, as they are done we will inform you.
With regard to the educational team (Tarangaksi dd, Abhinanda d, Rukmini, Isvari dd), our organization will be in stages.
For now my participation in the temple for this year is minimal, only pujari and class once a month, I help organize classes. Both Tarangaksi. Mitravinda and Rukmini are collaborating in preaching.
The family is fine, Rajani and Sarasvati sing 6 rounds for now. Abhinanda d takes good care of us.
ASA - If you all take Sannyasa when children grown then he can take care of your perfectly. Go hand in hand to Goloka.
I find it very interesting how Brahma performed austerities to please Krsna before doing his service. I meditated how I could follow this example to improve my service and I started by improving the chanting of my japa and it seems that Krsna is helping.
HpS - ASA --- JAYA!
This year I started taking a curriculum, I am studying SBG and TLC and also a training course to teach as well as English. It has always taken me time to learn something, unlike Abhinanda d (he learns fast). For this I need more hours, and to be able to fulfill all my duties I saw the need to reduce hours in sleep, at first it was difficult but I remembered srila prabhupada and gave me strength to do it. I feel happy in some way Krsna allows me to do Some small austerity and helps me to do it.
ASA - Always learning. Goloka.
Lad and Yugala want to reopen NImsar, both communicated with me, for now I can participate as a collaborator for them (They have their rhythm and I have mine ), they have a lot of enthusiasm, they are going to run and I take some time before running. I have asked them both to talk since they have very similar ideas and if they reach an agreement they save efforts. And if they do not reach an agreement, well, everyone will take their course.
I am preparing the best I can, I would like to preach like you, I hope Krsna helps me, I am not very skilled, but if Krsna wants to help me I can do it, and if it will not be for the next life.
Thank you very much for all the inspiration you give us. Sri Nrsimhadeva protect you.
with affection and gratitude

ASA - Thank you for the news. What job does Abhinandana Das do? What Prasadam do you all have for breakfast?
ASA - Excellent letter from Nanuk, but he seems to be gyrating in cyberspace and too much repulsion for drug addicts who entice others et al. For private O.K. but for Blog, to intense.
He asked what does DTC mean? --- Monkey read Indradyumna Swami's Diary of a Traveling Preacher and liked it so much he started his own Diary of a Traveling Creature. Piggy said that some of it might be called Diarrhea of a Traveling Creature, and Monkey acquiesced and asked him to edit those parts.
We all need editors! Please edit us!
Attached photo seems great.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to Guru Maharaj HPS!! Guru Maharaj ki Jay!!
ASA - All glories to all the assembled Vaisnavas.
Kindly accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet Lotus feet...cool green lettuce ....packed with minerals and antioxidants!!!
ASA - The same to you and more of it.
Thank You Guru Maharaj for the reply. Here's the latest from Manipur. An elderly couple has donated a piece of land ,2.50 acres to ISKCON....this place (Kakching), is about 20kms from Imphal. We shall perform the Bhoomi puja on 5th May...as we are informed by Banamali Prabhu that this is an auspicious date for Mandir construction.
ASA - Oh, His Divine Goodness! Were the innaugurators the Brahmana-Vaisnavas who will live there?
As I am associated more closely to Radha-Krishna-chandra Manimandir, I am not in direct contact with Yamuneshvar Das Prabhu who is based at Thoubal. Sadhubhushan Prabhu is out of station at the moment. Hopefully, he will be with us for Narashimha Chaturthi.
Sending you pics shortly.....the files are too big..let me find a way out. Open them with
