Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP
Neigh!! neigh !! hourse tocuhing belly on ground. dandvat      Jaya!! jaya!!! to the monkey ,piggy, wise cat and brother ass. You may ask Swami ji to read slowly in section if he wishes to.

Hari bol to bhakta Daniel!!!     Hope he becomes crazy for Chaitanaya,, and goes to Donald Trump.    Tell him hey fellow be a Hare Krsna - you will win!!!!

Coming to serious note!!!multiple  issues our intelligence is multi branch.... but not sinful.... yet great acheivement!!!!

First issue:
We were thinking we would help you in studying/presenting PdP from Danda-Veda perspective on Sat morning for ISV SB class.

The motivation is that we have a son and very eager  to train him in Politics and administration.  According to one trainer in Personality plus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Littauer)  our son is Powerful Cholerics (60%)  and Popular Sanguine (15%).

So how can we help ?

HpS - AGTSP!!!!!!!        Well, keep doing what you are doing!    This Saturday we can discuss the content of the colloquia. We will present Bhisma deva, SB 1.9, this Sunday.

We thought we will present topic of "Questions by Dying Emperor of World" on 31st oct.

HpS - ASA --- Yes, Satuday let us fix this!

Second issue:
Can you write the three reasons you think VAD is required ?

HpS - We came to this conclusion by our own intelligence then we heard one class where Gaura-govinda Swami said the same thing: 1) We are not pure devotees so we need to do it so we have civilized patterns to fall back onto when we fall from the high-wire act of pure devotional service, 2) It is the best way to organize the Sankirtan party. Some are administrators, some are artisans... So we can use these skills in the Sankirtan,  3) It is the best example to set for people who can't appreciate Bhagavata Dharma immediately, "Oh, see how the Hare Krsna's live in their community and have higher vision revealed to them and are happy in this world. We shall live that way also."

Third issue:
Can you explain the way while chanting (may be for years) one feels prana coming in from stomach to higher levels ?
and from mouth to throat ... basically its part of your lecture in Hawaii.

HpS - You can feel with insight where your consciousness is. We want to do something, so we look to our stomach for the energy. We go to eat something, but instead we can "feed" our heart. Eat for your heart, eat for your soul, what about eating does your stomach know.   Illicit sex of course makes all the internal life dull, base.  O.K?

Fourth issue:
Have you looked at the Univ list ?
HpS - Yes, it looked fine. We are moving ahead by Krsna's grace. We died in 2014, so things have to go along a community pace.

Fifth issue:
Here is link for SB books for children based in Chennai   http://www.srivaikuntaenterprises.in/shop/

Sixth issue:
what should i think when i chant guru astak but look at deities ?

HpS - "Dear Hara and Krsnah, we are standing before you as beasts, but we worship a Group Leader, Guru, who is like this, this, this. Please allow us to do Sankirtan for You!"
 

Seventh issue:
have your calendar for India being fixed?
ASA - No, we are pushing Rama-giridhari Das to fix his dates now. We were waiting for the results of the interim GBC meeting and it did make things clear.
Really principle issue is having a meeting between NGD, HpS and Dr. Ramon Mujica. He is Director of Peruvian National Library. If he will put this June Symposium on High Priority, then so will we. Then visit to India etc. is for that goal eg. meeting with ICCR in Delhi etc. Bhakti caru Swami said that he is 100% behind us.

Eight issue
How monkey would like to whip the horse ? (this is not buddha horse hence needs whip)

HpS - ASA  ---  Our character is that we seldom whip anyone. We can never ask anyone to do other than what we are doing.
So, we whip ourselves, to get up early and have Full Morning Program.  Of course, 16-nice, nice, rounds & four principles strict.   Happy life.

Then so much comes from associating with team members like you.

Salute to You and your team..
Horse

HpS - Self aggrandizer!   Please salute your wife for us.  Nice palamino, but our Donkey is stiff competition.

AGTSP.  Paoho.
4.18PM.
Murfereesboro, Tennessee

We just answered all the URGENT mail and the other letters up to 3-days ago.
(We are good boys!)

Pretty good day.  Our mind can think of hellish days, that have past or will come again. The worst are attacks from devotee friends.  St. Francis said that the most difficult thing to tolerate was when people who are supposed to be your support, turn against you.
We seem to remember that Prahlada Maharaja said something similar: Separation from those you love is the greatest distress.  Arjuna felt that way.

We made bank deposits, paid the property taxes, posted three letters, have a stomach ache still, maybe we have stomach cancer.

We also did a lot of research for our essay on Sankirtan vs. Deity worship in the Temple priorities. Eg. The Deities are not happy if there are offerings and changing clothes, but no SB classes!

Offering has just been oranges, potatoes, milk and almonds, carrot juice.

What more can we do than walk behind Srila Prabhupada like hopping squirrels as he walks with the other cow herd boys in the land of Vraja talking about Krsna.
Without that what life do Santiago, Cordoba, Lima, Murfreesboro, Madrid, Mumbai ... have?

BG Class, Chapter 15-16 overview tonight.

Lilamrta, for Ananta-rupa's class, we started "Planting the Seed"!

Hari, Hari, Hari Bolo (What does it cost to run to the airport and get any ticket to Vrndavana Dhama and sleep on the ground!)

As I told you on Skype, I am back and safe in Radhakunda. Thanks to Radharani's krpa and your causeless mercy for this fallen soul, I got the letter from Iskcon Vrndavan, Panca Goura Prabhu [is Pancha-gauda, no?  Madhya 18.134] was very kind with me, so I went to Philippines and Radha Madhava, the gorgeous deities in the temple, gave me shelter for the 15 days I was there. At the beginning they asked me for a recommendation letter from you, but when I started doing seva they said it was not necessary anymore. All devotees were very kind and even one devotee working as the secretary of the counsel in Indian embassy helped me a lot to get the new visa. Now I am back here in Radhakunda, just arrived two days ago and I am trying to retake my seva cleaning Radhakunda and here at home working for our Radha-Kunja Bihari.

Yesterday, I had to run to Vrndavan to help Radha Caran with the second initiation process since she entered in a fire suddenly and I told her how to chant the gayatri mantra as you asked me to do.

My dear guru maharaja, once again I want to thank you for all your help and causeless mercy. Your (trying to be humble) servant Tungavidya devi dasi

HpS - ASA --- You are so, so, so lucky.  Living on the banks of Radha-kunda constitutes the highest perfection of life. It is a perfection even great sages like the four Kumaras and Narada Muni cannot achieve. Of course, there is the Bhauma Radha kunda we see with our litle, Sadhana-bhakta eyes, but it can be such a nice step toward the Radha-kunda that the Brija Vasis see.

Nectarean Glories of Sri Vrndavana-dhama
by Srila Prabodhananda Sarasvati Thakura
(Translated by Kusakratha Dasa)

Sataka One. 1
1 Meditating on the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha-Muralimanohara, placing myself at the dust of Lord Caitanya’s feet, and respectfully offering obeisances to the great devotees of the Lord, who are so many oceans of transcendental virtue, I shall now happily begin to praise the transcendental opulences of Sri Vrndavana.

2 I am not strong enough to go to the far shore of the great nectar ocean of Vrndavana’s glories. Who can go there? However, because I love Vrndavana I will now dip into that ocean. I pray that this endeavor may become successful and bring an auspicious result.

3 O Sri Vrndavana, please reveal in my heart Your wonderful transcendental form full of the most confidential spiritual knowledge and bliss. Embarrassed to describe the highest nectar, the Upanisads only say “not this, not this”. Where are you described?

4 Day and night I glorify Vrndavana, which is filled with the wonder of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna’s pastimes, the wonder of the greatest sweetness, the ultimate nectar of Lord Hari, the sweetest, most beautiful auspiciousness and a flood of virtues Ananta-sesa, Siva, and a host of others cannot cross.

5 Think of Vrndavana with love. Roll in its dust. Love it ardently. Please its moving and non moving residents. Worship Sri Radha’s birthplace. With all your heart take shelter of Sri Vrndavana, the best of all holy places.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, All glories to Srila Prabhupada

HpS - Who are like three of the other principal participants?  Who are they?

Goura Purnima (pancagaura prabhu's wife), [Is that Pancha-gauda or Pancha-gaura. President?],  Kusha (head community center), Mukhunda Datta prabhu's wife (head Pujari).  We have a meeting tomorrow with Bhurijan Prabhu, to try to put some "guide line" and see the point of view of senior devotees.

There are so many nice devotees, so many. Thank you for your replay. Hare Krsna!

HpS - ASA - Thank you.  What is the Community Center?  Do theses three devotees have kids they want to educate in the school?

Just back from Raleigh: Rathayatra, Sunday Festival, College Program, Meeting with 250-devotees.

Ticket​ was $236 and got $536 in donations for HpS and NIOS.

Sun has just set on our little office. Is DARK.  NGD just called. He is home. We go see him now.

Our eyes are getting pretty tired.  Much do less computer.

We become depressed when we don't see success for Krsna's plans.   That is Maya!!!!       Krsna has successful plans. We just have to be in touch with them.   That can only happen in the mode of goodness with Japa!

O.K.  Letters answered to 3-days.  No URGENT mail.

Who knows what adventure Krsna has for us just outside our door!
