ASA - Standard for Ladys
by Guy "Uncle" Gismo
President of the ASA Civil Deadman's Society
(rev. 2014 May 26)

1) No, mini-skirts, dresses should be no higher than mid-calf, and usually longer.

2) Only short term contact with the opposite sex for preaching purposes.

3) Should get married by 15-years old ideally but in Kali-yuga get advice from six good people about the sitution. Actually best thing is to marry Krsna, the King of Vrndavana.

4) Don't talk with weak-minded Dudes in secluded places.

5) Don't bite people. Ask Radharana to ask Krsna and Balarama to protect you. Chant Hare Krsna and be happy.

6) Only listen to music, watch movies, read books that you would see with Srila Prabhupada.

7) Ignore all these rules if Krsna personally tells you to do so.

Thank you. We will try to follow this standard also. Please send your ideas to the Blog.

OINK!  OINK!  WIggle, wiggle!
Here we are in Franklin with oats on the griddle.
How are you?   We are doing pretty well answering the mail.

Of course, we also Tweet pretty often.

Today is Memorial Day. It was called Armistice Day too start with, the Day the Armistice, stop fighting, was declared at the end of World War One.  I guess war in unavoidable in places like Europe unless they get strong Krsna consciousness. It's cold so thay have to eat meat and drink alcohol. Then there is sex and too many babies and then there will be fighting over land.

With Krsna conscsiousness we can get a higher taste and many men can be celibate monks and many sisters can marry one Dude and have one son each.

Has been nice being here all weekend alone. About 1,500 devotees all went to the Sadhu-sanga retreat in Carolinas. 11-from here, 25-from Texas, maybe 15-from San Jose, and 11-from Seattle et al.

We are pushing NIOS pretty well.

We should have announcement for the July 25-27, North American Educational Symposium out by today.

Kapi-Dhvaja will be Wednesday.

We had some severe chest-cramps like yesterday, but has gone away. Seems mostly to be lack of proper mineral salts in the diet. We adjust.

Lord Nrsmhadeva is very beautiful and Gaura-Nitai here also. The yard is full of roses and Magnolias (and the the Kauravas are choosing to die).

Hare krsna AGTSP, PAMHO 

Dear Gurumaharaja!!!
20 bcaris and we hope more by the end of the summer. The chicago temple is in the best moment ever. This is historical. Therfore my sadhana on such steady atmosfere it could not be better. 16 rounds, jumping in mangalarati every day.
This summer is going to be very busy. Here is a summary of my preaching activities to the latin people.
Book Distribution regularly 4 days of the week. 1 new person every weekend. Hoping increase faster the number of member in latin group. 50 members before i leave chicago?
Bhakti club at Truman Collage. Succesful program. Attached picture.
Food for life. I'm involved on organization and our latin group is engaged in this recently.
Bhakti Vrksa where we cultivate through seminars new people. Spiritual Scientist course.
and diferent services in the temple.

I dont have questions about visnu tattva for you. I know that krsna is the Controler and I m his servant and that is enough for me. It is wrong not to have these tipe of questions?

              ASA - Hmmm. If you are reading then you should be getting practical, exciting questions, no? He is my Controler, but what does He want from me today, for example? Mother Yasoda had to make decision about what service to offer!
Im reading regularly and I already finished 2 canto of BV with Param Padam, but is only an acceptance. I dont feel this like a problem. Can you give me guidance gurudeva?

             ASA - We don't understand. What does, "Only an acceptance" mean? Very interesting.

Finally, the temple president, Nityananda Prana is asking me about  you all the time and he really wants to invite you. These last to weeks Radhanath S, Romapada S, BB Govinda S, Danavir Gos visited us and waiting for Gunagrahi S and others. This temple has a lot of oportunities in preaching field to offer Gurudeva. And the congregation really want your transcendental asociation.

Shold I give to Nityananda Prana the email for disciples to be in contact with you? Or may be another one?

I know that you are extremly busy and your health is not always good, and i can visit you wherever you are, but they are asking me.

              HpS - Ooof. Health is O.K. It is just a result of "energy". At 66-years old we have that kind of energy, so we have to "act our age". I think we can visit, but have to get our preaching programs a little more defined first!

Well thats all for now. I'm gonna work hard to finish my mision here.

HpS - ASA - How much longer will you be there??? What is you plan. Our respects to Nityananda Prana Das.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias

Querido Guru Maharaja ojala pudiéramos tenerlo cerca, servirlo directamente, siempre extraño eso, espero que su salud este bien, me alegra que ya tenga internet, mi problema es el Sgte: Siento que a veces hago las cosas por deber, aunque no me asocio con personas de mentalidad materialista, observo muchos devotos con esa tendencia fuerte al poder, dinero, posición, a veces poniendo en ansiedad a brahmanas, devotos sabios, avanzados, a veces siento compasión por ellos, otras gran desprecio,  y tengo una gran lucha interna por mantener la ecuanimidad, la mansedumbre, guardar silencio, veo las aparentes injusticias y entiendo que son propias del karma de cada uno. Sin embargo, mi temperamento es fuerte y algo de pitta debo tener, me siento manos atadas sin poder ayudar, evito el conflicto, y eso a veces baja mi entusiasmo, lo único que me ayuda a descargar esa frustración de ver devotos que se odian es salir a sankirtana, pero ello influye en mi, mi canto, mi sankirtana. Gurudeva sea misericordioso conmigo que puedo hacer, ayúdeme a desarrollar buenas cualidades.

Siempre muchos devotos me preguntan por Ud. cuando viene, donde esta y está bien.

¡Qué el Sr. Nisimha siempre lo proteja!

                HpS - ASA - TlgaSP. Utiliza "translate.google.com". Upadesamrta-3. Enthusiasm is more important than patience. So, if you see people, maybe like Daksa, harrassing devotees, then you should be enthusiastic to correct them. Sati, Virabhadra, Shiva, they are reacted different ways.

If in doubt chant "Hare Krsna / Hare Rama!!!!!", "Oh, Radharani, please call for Krsna and Rama to help me!". In Vrndavana only Krsna and Balarama kill demons, but sometimes they engage us as Their tools.

So, chant HK/R, if Krsna gives you intelligence then it will be very natural to use verbal and intellectual force to protect weak devotees.

Nice fotos. We add one!

Hare Krsna Hanumat Presaka His Holiness Swami, You accept my humble and respectful obeisances along with my best wishes .

I have a question for you:

Now I have a sincere desire and possibilities of introducing me , but since I'm in Cordoba, I have some problems , we asked the authorities of Córdoba to give me a recommendation. A devotee for which carve Deities and assist in the Ratha Yatra initiative , unresponsive and others say no more give advice to anyone. There are a devotee of Bs As he has no problem in recommending me because it was in charge of the temple of Buenos Aires when I lived there. But the authorities suggests that where we are right now give me a recommendation. This saddens me a little, because I see a very bureaucratic position and affecting my service. I wonder if I can help the devotees to ratha yatras more manifest in Argentina , or elsewhere, thought carve for Mar del Plata, but apparently should help alimpiar bathrooms or kitchen 1 and thus could initiate me . I have no problem doing this as I have previously eçhecho (though I'm now a little serivicio conditioned with my father for space - time), but I wonder to myself: If the power and ability that turns me Krsna so , rather than invest in something that he would love to speculate Srila Prabhupada , see a Rathayatra everywhere, then there could initiate me because they support me, I quedra Krsna not in ISKCON ? I will not be a devotee as Vritrasura demon? , I'm a little frustrated with this situation. Do not worry, try to continue carving voya Deities with Your Blessings ! , Jay Srila Prabhupada ! ! Hope your suggestions .

I hope not to inconvenience or annoy .

 HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. The translation is only about 70% understandeable. Please send in Spanish and English both in the future, O.K? We are dull-headed. In general, if you are chanting 16-enthusiastic rounds and following the 4-principles strictly under Srila Prabhupada's authority and trying to work with the ISKCON GBC et al, then you are following his discipline and you are his disciple.

We are certainly very very happy to be of any service to you as Siksa-guru etc.

Ask Maha-hari Das in BsAs for his opinion about the situation. We should be able to resolve any bureaucratic problems quickly.

Hare Krsna!!!

Jaya, Jagannatha!!!!
