Hare Krsna!!!        The wind it blows,
The snow it grows,
But naught the matter if our rain-coat holds.

Do the things around us touch our heart?
Are we conscious of what is happening in our heart?
I am very conscious of my face: The set of my lips, the tensions in my eyes.
Is my face happy???       Aaaah, then "I" must be happy.

We see some happy things in the world around: Trazan married Jane, but then we see how this affects our heart.

What is in your heart?
We try to put the light of God therein. To sing and dance and before it bend.
To saturate the world around with the love we find from it.
To let the tale of T and Jane, but reconciled with this base, in our heart.

===============

We didn't get up until too late!    FMP was very robust with 11-participants.
Then we offer Potato potage to Lord and kept half in our tiffin for lunch.
Japa, banking research, calls MOE with good results, off to the Smyrna Medical Center to meet with Dr. Amit Singh. We got lost in the GIGANTIC maze, but he found us and looked at our leg.
"It's not going to go away", hesitant pause, "I think you should go on the steriods again".
We walked across the lobby. $15. 15-capsules for 15-days.
Back to the Bank --- Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna --- $2000 for South America, $11.53 for NIOS credit card, $101 for HHR account ....  Take lunch, take the pills:

We leave for Lima on the 15th.  Our main focus there is this symposium being
sponsored by us, NIOS, and the Peruvian National Library.  It has come along
very, very well. We feel like a passenger on a great Cruise Ship. Is beyond our
means to control. The participants are very, very respected, nice people from
Peru, Chile, Canada, Mexico, India etc.
For example, Beverley Zabriskie. She was co-founder of the Jungian Society in
New York and the Philemon Foundation which has an enormously popular following
and is dedicated to publishing the many unpublished works of Jung. Prabhupada
said that of all the Western philosophers, Jung seemed to have the most sense,
and his modern followers seem to fall in that category. It is like preaching to
Sukadeva Goswami and the four Kumaras sometimes.
She is also an arti critic for the New York Times.

We hope to have the results of this symposium available for all of you soon.
Ask us any questions you want to.

While there we will be staying at Abhirama's house in Lima with SB classes
available for anyone. We will go to Wilson for two evening programs. We will go
to Bolivia for a week and Chosica for about 10-days.
If you have any advice please contact us!

Please accept my humble obeisances at His lotus feet

Dear Gurudeva, I do not write much that he does, I hope is well.
Here things right, and everything is calmer, I have written several times with Gunagrahi Prabhu, and my relationship with him is good, I dolio that has agreed to be guru with this mental illness, I understand that all conditioned living entities have that shackle, and I understand that the practice of celibacy is 100% grace (mercy), I wanted to tell you that in my practice celibacy one of the principles I try to follow is not to mention the conditioning of others. I tell Gurudev this because Prema Rasarnava told me that Him spoke with You.

I'm teaching the Nectar of instruction, and also the Bhagavad Gita residents of the temple.
And I began to study at university.
Sadhana well, it will improve more as this college is a bit new for me and it will stabilize better.

With Bharata I'm not talking since March, because we do not talk Well. We will take time

Here the  temple improved and two months is here Srila Virabahu Maharaja, He has much respect for you ago.

My 4 principles and 16 rounds well, good relationship with the authorities, and especially my service to the deities.

Please give me your mercy, and pray for me spitritual relation of love for Krishna

Thank you!!

His servant Adi Yajña Das

HpS - Very nice to hear from you.  Write your letters in simple Spanish first that you know www.translate.google.com can translate well. Then use the translator and edit it if necessary.  Your writing frequency is fine. More would be O.K.   We think of you. We have heard different things about Guna-grahi Swam and are not exactly sure what happened to him. He confessed some mental or verbal or physical attachments illicit sex, no???   I want to write to him to say that there may be negative things, but we have so much affection for him and appreciation of his positive service.

If there are faults in devotees and we are good, we can avoid those and get the positive aspect of their service, no?

What are you studying?

If you happen to see Bharata in the street (Ha!  Ha!  Ha!)  please offer our respects to him. We also like him very much.   Actually feeling a lot of separation from BsAs thinking of all of you now.  KC is so much fun. Everybody should be joining the Temple is Ciudad de la Paz!

Hare Krishna Beloved and esteemed Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

What a beautiful time to be in. So much creativity, i sense there is a shifting within ISKCON. Seeing how wonderfully devotees are preaching enlives me up. The Journey Within by Hh Radhanath Swami, Hiding in Unnatural Happiness by Hh Devamrita Swami, Our family business by H Grace Vaisesika Prabhu, Psychology and the sacred by Nios. The new wave is coming! UTSAHA!! 

In the other hand i feel awful cause i feel I'm doing nothing for this movement. Or much less i could do if i were focused.

Preaching is growing nicely here in MDP, we are going out of our centers to different places, schools, clubs, homeless shelters, etc. Many people are coming and programs are growing. We are penetrating more and more into MDP's society, media, governors start noticing our work.

My life is ok for kali yuga in the material world, Manu and Benji are growing nicely healthy and have some sense of KC. Work is fine, i can not find the right pace yet but struggling for that.

I'm chanting 16 rounds, probably 25% acceptable. Little by little I'm catching up with my vrata debt. I'm having problems with illicit sex. We keep with this karma misra bhakti yoga process and We started a strict diet to try to control this. 48 hs of juices, then only 2 meals a week with grains and only ghee as dairy products. The rest just salad and steamed vegetables!!

HpS - For whom are you cooking?

I'm reading Pada padma of SB! Leading BG discussion at El Loft and I'm in charge of book distribution and now Food for life program. I tend to keep busy in the service but sometimes i dont know whether to quit that services and focus only in 4p and 16r. What do you think gurudev?

HpS - If you look at the revised www.jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt there is a wonderful citation by Srila Prabhupada. He says that like all the other services are choked or illusory unless we are 16/4.    Nothing else will suffer if we focus on 16/4 ... money, fame, entertainment, sankirtan, family, administration...

Thank you so much for always be there for us Gurudev and make huge endeavor for pushing this wonderful movement foward. I really know that purity is the strenght and that is the real mean of conquer. I feel that the only thing i can do is keep trying my best to overcome this anarthas!

I hope you dont kick me off from the shelter of your lotus feet!!!

Trying to purify my service,

Your fallen servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - In our current circumstances we get bored and lonely sometimes, so we read stuff from Gutenberg.org, take too much fruit juice and condensed milk...   Somebody else can't stop a heroin addiction. Room for improvement at every level.  Usually there is a good reason why be a subject to greed, lust. What is it?  Probably many valid reasons.  Investigate.Chant HK all the time we are attracted and engaged in our greedy things.

Thank you so much for your association!!!   Respects to everyone.

Your news from MDP is very inspiring.   Who else is there now???
