Your aspiring servant

HpS - AGTSP. paoho. Oooof! So much pain getting a baby born. Incredible! Well, now you can find our who your new family member is. Usually as we understand, until about 3-years old the soul has a lot of access to memories from last life. Things can be collected and put to use in this life. Congratulations to you all!!!

AGTSP

paoho

We have a letter from Dandava Das from Madrid about initiations that would not go. We will try again. We started reading and respoinding to the intense dialog in the Latin American Regional GBC Body about Kesava Swami's in volvement with ISKCON. There are dozens of contributions!

It takes so much of our time, but if we are on the commission then we should do it.

Priorities.

We can't answer letters here! We didn't see any urgent.

We talked with some very nice devotees about their history of Vaisnavism in the West work. In general we worked pretty hard all day. We think we should do more, but we have to consider more and more that we are pretty degraded product of degraded Western culture.

O.K. Lets go to NGD home. 7.18 PM. Sunset one hour ago. Cold and dark outside with rain and some warning of possible tornadoes.

Jaya! Back to Godhead.

19 rounds done.!

AGTSP paoho. After a day of 90% selfish sense gratification, while chanting HK and following the 4-regs, emergency calls from other fools like us and other service, we were finally able to get to the Canto Five Question Bank.

It's a mess! <img alt="*:D big grin" src="https://s.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo31.gif" title="*:D big grin" />

BIG Mess, no?

Out of about 60 questions we rejected, on a scale from 1-5, about 27 of them. The 33 we accepted, on a scale from 1-5, got an average of 2.75 points, and about 31 of those all needed work.

Hmmmmm?

Seems to us we need questions that a Bh.Vaibhavin could answer three years from now. In that respect so many of the questions need the context of the verses etc. Many we felt were just too general or simple. Many we felt we could answer from B.G. or earlier SB Cantos.

We will do some more work on them tomorrow. If anybody has any comments on this please write to the Blog. We will post this at the Blog.

We don't think this is anybodies fault. We are struggling with a very, very challenging task. I think that considering our stupidity Srila Prabhupada would be very pleased with all of us and encourage us to go on, go on. We are doing the best work possible. Nobody else we know of is doing anything like this.

Please see SB 9.10.20

Your servants,

Anjana Suta Civil Deadman's Club

It's been a DickeyDing-Dong Dynamic Day!
Nama om visnu padaya...  Krsna presthaya bhutale!!!!!!!!   AgtSP....  ....!.

     Two classes, offering peas-porridge, with milk after everything.

Nap. What do we do now?
 

Chant to Plan, and Plan to Chant.

We looked at the map. Found a strange park. Went there and drove around and found some more forest in which to play, near our cottage on the Hill.

Then to Good Will second hand store. It was busy, like a place of pilgrimage. Cloudy, cold. Everyone gone to Chicago.

We look-ed through the book titles for cartoon drawing examples etc. but no satisfaction. Very, very, very frustrated.

               ~Who are we? ? !!~

What can we do for Krsna of any significance!!!   Very frustrated.

Drown your sorry in Condensed Milk!

But we prayed, and prayed and prayed and got some c. milk, and realized that the real problem in the world is that there a no books to read that we like that will take us to Pure Goodness so that we can read the KRSNA book.

So [all of this with Lord Nrsmhadeva] offered the Condensed Milk, began honoring some Prasada and began to write.

The result is posted at:

www.jayarama.us/archives/brain-1.docx

Other things: Museum book, NIOS-Nashville, Radha-krsna Das essays, Letters to the Editor... we just haven't got the energy to do in one day! Two BhVai classes and full morning program is a lot of preaching for us. We need some insanity.

Oink! WHoop!

AGTSP
paoho. We only have 12-letters left to answer. Still some from one month ago.
We lived though the Celebrate Nashville Festival, and now we are headed to Vanderbilt University to read Journals on C. G. Jung.
We have a hell of a stomach ache.
Lot of work, but should be O.K. if we just breath lightly and keep to the root of our responsibilities.

See you this evening.

Kapi Dhvaja will go today.

Tpp-Cb 9 & 10 will be mailed today.

With the Gopas we will play today!!!!!!

Oink! Oink!   -   Whoop!  WHoop!  <img alt="angel" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angel_smile.png" title="angel" width="23" /> / <img alt="devil" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="23" />

Dear Gurumaharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I wish to inform you on how things are going. Principles and japa according to standard, and attempting to inject more feeling and sincerity.

. . . . HpS - ASA - !

Still, honestly said, it's a turbulent mental state, Gurudeva. Not much silence. The last two months i started going out for sankirtan by myself in the next big town. While i'm on unemployment benefits it is a nice thing to do, and it works miracles for my KC. Your question about collecting addresses, i hand out temple cards and invitations, and sometimes i share my personal email, but i don't ask for people's data. I heard some seniors say book distribution is not so potent if you don't keep in touch, but it feels awkward to me because i don't wanna infringe on people. Should i ask people anyway?

   ASA - It is very personal. There is no harm doing what you fell is natural.

Scores are: 3 gita, 25 SSR, 16 Path to Perfection, 20 Chant & Be Happy.

    HpS - Very, very nice!

I was trying to do something useful for Srila Prabhupada by seeing for publishing On Chanting Hare Krishna, but so far i didn't make much progress. Copyrights and the BBT giant needs some understanding from my side, communicating with the Dutch BBT person went slowly. The project is put aside for now, because something else came up. Already for a few years RNS devotees think about translating the Journey Home, and finally it is getting tangible. I am so fortunate to get to do the translation. I deadlined december 4th, with extra space until 23rd. I hope you can appreciate this. It is impertinent to ask for your blessings after things are already decided, but without them it will not be very auspicious.

HpS - ASA - God bless the book.

I'm happy with it, especially now that i finally have some project. So far several attempts to start something didn't really take off. So i will dedicate myself as much as possible, and i shall stay in Amsterdam temple for a while sometimes to get more work done. My wife is not too happy with my 'crazy energy' if i'm at home too much of the time.

My work as editor for Dutch ISKCON magazine will change. People weren't very interested, so subscriptions faltered, Benelux council said. At the same time i was thinking how to make it more attractive, and i started to create some new vision, but then out of nothing i was told GBC decided to terminate, and do a Dutch translation of BTG instead. "In Italy it worked." I wasn't asked anything, just a notice after the decision was made.

    HpS - Hmmmf! People just don't know how to respect a good man! (Or maybe we are idiots and they just did the right thing. Ha, Ha, Hare...)

So after deliberating I decided to quit my contribution. On one side I see the servant shouldn't care about the details, but on the other side I don't like such kind of dealings. Instead I will work more on expansion of Dutch online website content, after Journey Home is finished. It dawned on me that I do serve my own agenda Gurumaharaja, i have to admit.

I had some nice exchanges with Dutch seniors while preparing for RY Amsterdam, and it inspired me to keep growing as ISKCON devotee, so that one day i might be qualified to do something that will please you and Srila Prabhupada Very Much.

I'm very happy for the South American yatra. They derive much inspiration from your coming visit. It's a wonderful life this way. Thank you very much, Gurumaharaja. May you inspire people ever more.

Your aspiring servant,
Raghava Pandita dasa

 HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho.   Just keep going ahead. Look for a nice job where you can give you association to the workforce slowly and gently and make money and preach. Look for place to continue with the publishing efforts. You are certainly on the right path, 20-times over! Krsna will certainly send you all kinds of possibilities!!!
