               A G T S P !             (paoho)       Here we are in Chosika. 1.11AM in the morning. Brother Ass has an itch, infection, on his right arm. His poison ivy allergy seems finished. Where one disease finishes another starts.

             We will read the Blog letters next.  Yesterday was like hell and a half!  Up for Japa Joe, bath in one cup of water (there is no water from the city supply for a few days), to the Temple for Madana-bihari's Mangala arati, Japa, prepare for Sunday SB class, class (100 devotees), beautiful Hari-nama in the sun for about three hours (one-hundred devotees), back for Gayatri and meeting with Prof. Polo, his wife and two little teenage sons, Abhirama and Laksmana. Was kind of a chaos in the temple canteen. We are kind of starving but that is Krsna's arrangement. He is following Rupanuga's instructions that we eat less, sleep more and have less passion.

         3-4.00PM - BhVai Curriculum Development meeting with Laksmana and Srinivasa Das. We didn't even finish reviewing the chapter, what to speak of doing it well. 4.30 - Take rest (back in the Ashrama) and just got up a while ago and bathed in another cup of water.

          All in all, things are pretty good. We get eight rounds done before Mangala arati. We have time to contemplate our plans for Sankirtans. Krsna is sending Prasadam. We have to be more careful to honor it properly.

          The meeting with Miguel was worth $1,000. We discussed writing strategy. It is still not clear, but it is a lot clearer.  What would you like us to write?

little urgent boil the milk

13 years, 4 months ago by Namacarya das in Hot Topics

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja.
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

By some recent (and not se recent) circumstances happening in Pula Yatra, I am thinking about this instruction by Srila Prabhupada:
"Now we have got so many students and so many temples but I am fearful that if we expand too much in this way that we shall become weakened and gradually the whole thing will become lost. Just like milk. We may thin it more and more with water for cheating the customer, but in the end it will cease to be any longer milk. Better to boil the milk now very vigorously and make it thick and sweet, that is the best process. So let us concentrate on training our devotees very thoroughly in the knowledge of Krishna Consciousness from our books, from tapes, by discussing always, and in so many ways instruct them in the right propositions."  (Srila Prabhupada's letter June 22, 1972)

I wonder, when is proper time to "Boil the milk"? Should we stop trying to preach (doing public programs, prison programs and similar activities) and find out how to at least try to solve our inner problematics.
When I say "stop the preaching", I mean not in a rude way. Of course, we can try and will give Krsna to others, but for time being, concentrate in which way the yatra should function, and concentrate to develop programs (and do them) for training our devotees.

The idea behind the scene is that we, as devotees, associate seldom, and when together, try to fix the house for future temple, or discuss different preaching activities. That seems nice, but actually, there are misunderstandings, arguing on different points that we do not address, specially not in an organized and mature way. Also, what happens is that  new people come and after some time leave. There are many causes why they leave, but among them is the not-nice situation/relationship between devotees.

Guru Maharaja, I hope I succeed to convey my message. Surely, if needed, I will give more details.

Thank you!

Your servant Namacarya das
 

HpS -  AGTSP   paoho.  This is very nice topic.  I think a  simple answer is that Srila Prabhupada set a standard of full morning and evening program for internal, milk boiling, and then we can go out with confidence.  Do you find this?  The lack of internal adjustment follows when there is no basic full moringnig and evening program (of course more basic 16 rounds and 4 principles with devotion).

AGTSP!       We have been in such intense engagement with the programs with San Marcos University that we could not get to the Blog everyday.    Such success.  So many philosophy students in the classes.  They are very alert, intelligent, the professors who listened and spoke were satisfied, we were satisfied. The Dean was satisified. He said that the roads were open at San Marcos University for NIOS to develop any educational programs that they desired.  Abhirama was satisfied. Some people had just complaints about some of the things, so we apologize. We can do better.  O.K.  6 minutes until we leave for the Picnic.   10.14AM.

We have come from Lima to Chosika.  We are here for a five days.  The Poison Ivy rash is like 97% gone.  Seems the Ayurveda really helped create a proper situation for the body to work.

Yet, we are still using some clobetasol for a week more to get at the root of any thing left.

Hare Krsna!

These items could be referred to as the actual 'power regarding healthful living'.

The power of healthy living can be regarded as some great benefits of the kitchen connoisseur. Surely, healthful life-style can give you and provides great as wel ...
