Smells really bad.  Yuck.    I think the Karoki Bar is closed. No activity there for a week and a small sign on the door. That's about the view from our window. Lots of cars passing.

This material world is BOORING!

Gosh!!  Booring.     I guess everyone tries to live in their house with their family and B I G   screen TV and movies and Sports and Politics.  We see the Television at NGD home when we go there. Manjari and Abhiseka have sports stuff on. Lots of advertisements for Car, Food, House (furniture), Movies ... making heaven on earth... Vikarmis.

Did some calling for July 29th Conference and have some more to do. Very weak???  Had granola and fruit and little milk?   Hmmm.     Nitai-gaurasundara's Nurse Practitioner is on vacation so he has. 1.7 times as much work at the Mental Hospital as normal. He works seven days a week and gets called in the middle of the night quite often. He listens to many, many, many lectues on line from Mayapura TV etc.

We answered the letters to the Blog up to three days ago.    We will try to send some letters for request for papers for Dr. Samaresh'a next NIOS publication and then call him tonight.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!

HpS - Thank you!   AGTSP!    Has she read Thomas Akampis, "Imitation of Christ"? It is biggest selling Christian book after the Bible. Is nice. Is hundreds of years old.  You could read it together.

AgtSP, plase accept my most humble obeisances.

Hare Krishna dear Guru-maharaja! Here Pratibhanu from Chile (currently living in Campina Grande-Brazil, with Maharaja Danvantari Swami)

I hope you are fin about health in these days. 

I wrote a very long report, I don´t know if you received it, if you don´t, I´ll write it again in my next letter.

HpS - AGTSP!!!! Paoho.   No, I don't have any old letters from you!

We are living in a comunity of devotees here, and here is a very good devotee -like all the devotees- : Atmanivedana prabhu, a Dhanvantari Swami´s disciple: he told me that he wants to give me one of his silas, a saligrama, because me and my wife want to workship silas. So, this prabhu wants to know if you agree with this. What do you think about this? Then I can give to him youranswer.

At your lotus feet, 

Pratibhanu das

HpS - ASA --- It is very serious thing, like having children. Have you been regular in chanting your rounds, mangala arati, gayatri's?

-----------------------------------------------------------

AgtSP, pamho. Dear Gurudeva: 
A few minutes ago, I wrote a very long letter! then the page has an error, so:..

I need to know, how is your health? I´m very happy and grateful for your association those days in Santiago-Chile. I´m so sorry for not to be the lats day before your trip, Ananda Vardhana told me that you were asking for me.
With my wife, Radhika Ramana dd, we are living since March in Campina Grande with Dhanvantari Swami.
Oue sadhana: wake up 4:00 or 4:30 am; mangala arati in the temple; SB class; 16 rounds in the morning; every gayatri every day.

I´m pujari here and Radhika is my assistant. Maha Goura Nitay here are amazing!! I hope that you´ll be here one day.

What do you think about the sila?

I´m always remember you Gurudeva, I hope to be a good disciple and devotee some day.

At your lotus feet.
Pratibhanu das

HpS - AGTSP paoho.  If Maharaja thinks it is O.K. and you understand that is like taking responsibility for a real child, then I think it is very nice. As we understand, the Silas are not worshipped by big rituals or lots of paraphernalia. They are worshipped by the character of the devotee. So if you have good character then everything is very nice, but if you start becoming materialistic then there will be all kinds of bad reactions.

Like going from a bicycle to a Formula One car.  Zooooooooooom!

hare krishna Maharaj agtsp pamho.

-here are the Vaishnava devotees of the Lord. They are just like desire trees and can fulfill the desires of everyone, and they are full of compassion for the fallen conditioned souls.

"Sri Krsnadasa Kaviraja, the author of Caitanya-caritamrta, says that all good qualities become manifest in the body of a Vaisnava and that only by the presence of these good qualities can one distinguish a Vaisnava form a non-Vaisnava. Krsnadasa Kaviraja lists the twenty-six good qualities of a Vaisnava:  (1)  He is very kind to everyone.  (2)  He does not make anyone his enemy.  (3)  He is truthful  (4)  He is equal to everyone.
(5)  No one can find any fault in him.  (6)  He is magnanimous.  (7) He is mild.  (8)  He is always clean.  (9)  He is without possessions.  (10)  He works for everyone's benefit.
(11)  He is very peaceful.  (12)  He is always surrendered to Krsna.  (13)  He has no material desires.  (14)  He is very meek.  (15)  He is steady.  (16)  He controls his senses.  (17)  He does not eat more than required.  (18)  He is not influenced by the Lord's illusory energy.  (19)  He offers respect to everyone.  (20)  He does not desire any respect for himself.  (21)  He is very grave.  (22)  He is merciful.  (23)  He is friendly.
(24)  He is poetic.  (25)  He is expert.  (26)  He is silent."

a nice congregation, very friendly; around about 30 devotees.
President of the temple is Maha Bhavi Prabhu, a disciple of HH Radhanatha Swami Maharaj. others are Disciples of HH kadhamba Kanana Swami Maharaj. his great aspiration is to buy a farm for Krishna. they have been very good to me, they are good people.

Maharaj thank you very much for your association.

haribol...

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP   paoho.    We forget where you are. You are not is Spain now, no?  Sweden???

AGTSP    paoho    &  bw.....        How are you.  We are dead as usual.  Spent all day doing the banking, for NIOS and ASA. When you have to close the books for the year it takes time. We are helping. Not so hot today. Overcast.  Finally got ahold of Tom Osborne, general repari guy. He is incredible.  But he is in Seattle!   So, we have to tackle our wrecked deck our selves. Should be O.K.    Really we started to write for Chaitanya, RRD's son. He like six years old or so. I guess by the time we write somethng usefull he will be old enough to read it.

Monkey: I know how kids think!

Piggy: Yeah, that's becaue you have the mind of a ten year old.

O.K. We go to NGD's Ashrama and chant rounds before the Evening Program. About 20-people are there every Friday. It fills up the room!  See you at Start Meeting.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.
