D I A R Y
of a
Traveling Creature
3rd of May, Tuesday Day

Capitol and careful care,
   And you'll see some profit there.
To grow all wise at Guru's feet,
   While he sits, and watches from his seat.

Day's end has come, strife's still as snow,
  That down upon the ground does go.
But hoary, hairy, funny plot,
   It is not even cold and piles a lot!

This is the Astasaki's joke,
   That Radha-Krsna's play's not broke,
But bubbles on in piles of snow,
   That's warm and thick enough to hoe.

Such a fuss we find all day. People run their cars away. Yet, little profit at such a loss:
Get up early and get your round's done.
Build a foundation then it's fun, build a bridge, build a shop, where Yasoda devi will make a stop  -- things that are everlastingly, increasing, in beauty, grandeur and harmony.

So now, brown cow,
Sleep deep, with grey sheep,
So that tommorrow upon Maya's fortress,
We may creep!

Hari!!!   Hari!   !!

All glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja. I hope you are well upon receipt of this message.<img alt="yes" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_up.gif" title="yes" />
We are fine. We continue in the fight. <img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/56.gif" title="" /> I left a job as a journalist in a agency to complete either the thesis of the university and not neglect my spiritual life.
We join the Bhakti Sastri group, led by Patraka prabhu.<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/22.gif" title="" /> We so full of enthusiasm for the NOI and Krishna consciousness in general. However, there are other devotees around me who are losing enthusiasm and inspiration. How can we help?<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/33.gif" title="" />
Began to chant rounds at 5 am every day, and our clockbiological is almost used to (before we started to 5:30). The idea is that we chant in Mangal Aratik, but we still win the mind.<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/a24.gif" title="" />
We are constantly striving to make everything as it should be. All morning mercy beg You to never leave the right path.
My sincere reverences.

Who hopes to serve You,

Kriyasakti d.d

HpS -  AGTSP   pamho.  you are doing really, really well.  Ooof!    It is one year since we see everybody and we cannot remember who looks like what, has what name!   Ha!   Ha!  But is O.K.   We all know each other.    Krsna knows us.                      You can enthuse others by citing for appropriate words of the scriptures and the previous acharyas.  Also, and if that doesn't work, yad yad acarati sresthas.     we set the good example for others and don't become destroyed by their bad examples.

We see you July 1st (or 2nd).   Send us news of Chile.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Todas las Glorias a Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Todas las Glorias a Usted..¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Querido Gurudeva por favor hacepte mis mas humildes reverencias, aqui segimos intentando llegar a mangal artic todos los dias, cuatro principios y 16 rondas, el motivo por el cual le escribo es por que ahora me encuentro en una situacion en la cual mis padres y mis ahutoridades me han sujerido que termine mis estudios ya que tengo 18 años y ellos piensan que es el mejor momento para hacerlo, esto conlleva  salir del templo un aproximado de 9 meses  <img alt="" height="18" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/15.gif" title="" width="18" /> a mi me gustaria que usted me diera su opinion e instruccion ya que me preocupa un poco que es lo mas adecuado para mi vida espiritual en este momento, le contare mas detalles en su proxima visita en ratha yatra.

Se despide de usted su torpe sirvienta

Bhaktin Sarahi

Por favor perdone mis ofensas

HpS -  Jaya!  Hare Krsna.  Srila Prabhupada Ki Jai!   Eso es tipico, no puedo entender si los autoridades esta pidiendo que Vd sale del templo o que o que.  Mi castellano no es bueno cuando llega a esta cosas de administracion detallado.  Necesitamos ayuda de un abogado espiritual. <img alt="" height="18" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/01.gif" title="" width="18" />    Pero pronto estamos en Mejico y entonces podemo hablar.  Hace tres semanas.  Basicamente habla con seis buen devotos, siguen el consejo en los libros de Prabhupada y habla con Krsna por Sus Santos nombres y estamos bien dirigidos en referente a cosas practicos.     Gracis su asociacion!!

Dear Gurudeva, Im quite delayed in the follow of the [Bhakti-vaibhava] course, but still in progress with the lecture of SB. I have no important questions to do, therefor I dont write you, but Im following the program, Im in the middle of the 3th chapter, reading with all my effort, but kind delayed

Sorry if I cant write you so often, we have a lot of work in my workplace and sometimes I should to be almost all day in the place. I try to read all what I can do in weekends,
I beg your forgiveness Dear Gurudeva, Im not a qualified devotee, so if you think is better that i left the program, I'll try to follow reading your posts and the steps in PdP.

I hope you can forgive my faults and can remain under the shelter of yout lotus feets, Srila Prabhupada's feets.
your humble servant

Here we are in our NIOS office in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.  It is 5.51PM  We are writing before Abhiseka comes to pick us up on his way home from work and take us to Nitai-gaurasundar, Mother Matsya, Radha Natabara's ashrama.  We woke up in Tandavika, M. Mina, Musa and Kosa's, Govardhana Gaura Ashrama in Franklin, Tennessee.
Vijaya Prabhu took us toe Nashville to meet with Dr. Hiranya Gowda and an Assistant Director of the Frist museum where there is a world class exhibition sculpture and painting on Vishnu.  (Hinduism is a complex religion that originated in India but is now practiced around the world....  There are perhaps tens of thousands of gods and goddesses in Hinduism, Many (but not all) Hindus argue that there is a single divine power and that all the religion's deities are just different manifestations of that one power...)
Ooof.    Gronk!   Brack!    Grink!       We were exhuasted when we got back to Murfreesboro.
This morning we had nice WebEx meeting with Abhirama Prabhu of Visual Services and he is going to help with formatting Dr. Bandopadhyay's books.   We hope that we are following in the footsteps of Lord Caitanya in his Sankirtana with Sarva-bhauma Bhattacarya and Prakasananda Sarasvati, albiet, guaranteed a lot less pure and strong than so many (or we may argue ALL) the other devotees in ISKCON.
Gotta get in line behind Sananda Devi Dasi (see her letter?) and do what we can do, for God, Family and you.
O.K.   We got 19 more rounds to chant!  Woke up late a few days ago and got behind for our 25.day.   Alarm didn't wake us up.   Too much pnut butter and bananas late in the evening!
Hare Krsna.   Japa will say all we have to say to the hearts of all those with whom we play, Gopal!!!
