paoho   Oink Oink!   Whoop!  Whoop. We are all going to dye. (Take Sannyasa, become civil widows, wear pink, white).

How are you? We are about to die.

It is 7.27PM. Today there were furious snow flurries and then beaming sunshine and then.... It was really impressive, scarey, everybody was freaked!

The ASA Office was freezing except for our little cave. We have to keep the water running a little bit or the pipes freeze and burst.

We are getting more done. After three months (many years) of traveling we are finally settling down to one place until end of July. Then we are thinking 6-weeks on the road to Houston and the Pacific Northwest. Guess September to March again based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Then a March +++ tour to Peru etc.

Hmmm.  Europe and India August+++ 2015. Australia?

We only plan to go where our ideas are being appreciated as valuable. If we can't produce valuable ideas then why do we have a human body? Better to be donkeys in Vraja.

###

We have intense aching in both sides of our waist. It is like a low pitch strong music. All the pain, and pleasure in the body is just music of different kinds.

Can you live with any kind of music? Can your Bhajan establish supremacy, avoid, use any other music?

That's the art.

We didnt go walking with NGDP today, too cold, so we spent hours catching up on mail.

We also did 2-hours preparing our PPT for Friday.

The Spanich BhVai program with Jagat, LAD, Yugala will be Saturday mornings at 6AM from now on. Join us.

Our Number One Writing Project, 7x9 TPP notebook, is helping  us to develop a Writing Strategy. That TPP Notebook is first. The first one is 90% done. All we need to do now is to review and annotate the entrys. We've started on the second one.

Then, this BhVai looks like Sticks and Stones. Stuff Hanuman picked up to fight with Ravana's soldiers in the Asoka van.

NOI Afterwords is first, thoughts produced by carrying and contemplating Rama's ring.

PdP is the conversations that Hanuman had with Sita about Rama.

LOB/Sankhya is part of the Search for Sita.

Jaya!

O.K!!!!   Arati, kirtan for Radha Natabara.
Thank you so much for your mercy.

Hare Krsna / Palika Devi Dasi

Hare Krishna dear Gurumaharaja,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet and hope everything is good for you. 

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. Sorry little slow to answer. 1) Lazy, 2) So much travel. We are making the best use of a bad bargain. We were not born to be happy.

First of all, I want to thank you very much for your mercy, I have had some busy days between medical test and doctor visits for a nodule found in the right breast and last friday I got the results, and because of Krsna's mercy I do not have cancer.

HpS - I was looking in Canto Six where Vrtasura has been mortally wounded by Indra and Indra is happy, but then Vrtasura laughs at him and says, "Indra, I am dying a noble death in combat trying to act according to the laws established by the Supreme Lord, so it is certain that as I die I will go back to Godhead and you will stay in this material world. So who is the winner Indra, you or me?"
So, we can just as well say that you are very unfortunate not to have cancer. If we have to go back to Godhead one treasured piece at a time O.K.

I think Krsna wants me to continue in this world so these days have been of reflexion and I could feel that Srila Prabhupada is always teaching us who we really are spiritual souls, so difficult to understand for me.

My husband sent you a message and because you were in India I understood  You could not read it.  Thank You so much Gurudeva, You are always giving us mercy and we can feel your protection.

Please forgive my offenses and thans again.

Your foolish servant,

Palika Devi dasi

HpS - I got the message and made a special effort to read it because it was from you all. Then we askeed the Candra monkey how you were. We are so indebted to your family that we always try to do some small service to pay off that debt.

I think there are many people that feel that way about. You all.
I think you all would fit into Goloka as cowherd family very well.

Please send us more news as it comes!!!

Delayed message from Utah

10 years, 1 month ago by BhaktaAdrian in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

It has been very long since I have written. After my wedding and moving 6 months ago I became very absorbed in material life (still am). I'm going to the gym often preparing for a police officer job in one year. Reb and I are still working at the same place. We haven't gone to the temple much over the last few months, but are now prioritizing this more. We are getting ready for a nice Gaura Purnima program tomorrow. Haribol! We have also just started reading Mahabharata. We still at the beginning, just before the incident with the wax house.

I have had a few inspiring conversations with another householder devotee here. He told us about a sadhana chart he was using to keep track of his reading/japa. It's nice and organized in a spreadsheet, suits my style a bit. We will start tracking our daily sadhana there. 

I haven't been in touch with Sri Hari prabhu from Boise in some time. I am hoping that over the next few  months I will be able to continue with good sadhana and take the pursuit of first initiation more seriously. Radhika Raman Prabhu moved to Utah a while ago to teach at one college north of where we live. I had the thought the other day that because he is an advanced devotee, and also one of your disciples, it might make good sense to take siska from him. What is  your opinion?? 

I hope this letter meets you in good health and high spirits! We will be in Boise for Ratha Yatra again this year. Haribol!

Bhakta Adrian-Utah

HpS - Jaya!!! Career in law enforcement. Sounds nice. Devotee, our Student, in Spain  is police man for many years. Yes, Radhika is very nice association. Also, he would like to get your association very much!! Contact him as soon as possible.

Seems that you are on the right path. All you have to do it continue. Of course, that takes innovative thinking, how to do the same thing every day. Sounds like a paradox, but it is not. Unless you are improving you are falling down.

vraj now and then

hare krsna maharaj,pamho, agtsp

in vraj parikrama , you constantly compared vraj to earlier days.
here are some pics testifyin that (courtesy Deen Bandhu Pr)

regards,
harsh

HpS - AGTSP paoho. Was so nice to be with you in India. When we were there in 1978 we heard that one old man said that he remembered how there was more water in the Yamuna, more trees and herds of deer used to drink water from the Yamuna. Of course, more poverty in some ways also.

Strange thing is that although the Parikrama path and many of the Holy Places on it around Vrndavan are almost completely convered in asphalt we still felt transcendental satisfaction in doing the Parikrama. It is just an inevitable feature of Kali-yuga.

Photos are incredible!

Parampara.

Only solution.....  ????

More news!!! Guru tattva.

Hare Krsna Maharaja!

Agt Srila Prabhupa! Please Accept my humble obeisances.

Thank you for answer my above questions... All clear. The last question I wrote, was about my service. I am going to trying to write it in english: I keep on 16 rounds for day, and keep on regulations but sometimes the service its hard for me.. because it is difficult to link up the action to serve with the cause, Krsna . I have a fixed service in the pujari.. like an assistant of pujari all wednesday during the morning and sometimes its difficult to me thinking that I do it for Krsna... How can I improve that? That is the pending question of the last time.

HpS - Well, AGTSP paoho. It seems that it should be natural. The Deity IS Krsna, so adjusting His clothes for example is service to Him. But service to the Deity as a person requires to be in a little bit advanced position. First we can realize Krsna is a person by hearing about Him and talking about Him. Then we can realize His Form, the Deity, then His characteristics. (NOI 7-8).

Play a nice Kirtan or chant while you work.

On the other hand, today i am very happy because yesterday in Gaura Purnima, I had Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mercy to be in the altar in front of deities for the first time. I was making all the decoration for a few hours and it was amazing. I was thinking in Krsna all the time inevitably. Also you was there in that beautiful moment for me, because there were a disciple of you, serving to Gaura Nitai and he had your picture. And that was fantastic. I think that maybe Nityananda Prabhu are show me something that I had been asked him for several times... something about who should to be my gurudeva... but maybe its just a coincidence.... (I dont think so) :B

Attach a Gaura Nitai's photo I took them, yesterday!

Thank you for share your rounds by japa joe.. it is a very nice inspiration for me

Your aspirant of servant,
