HpS - ASA ----  It is so nice to get news!    We just moved into our llttle NIOS office in Tennessee and are writing you from there.   Chant Hare Krsna, distribute Srila Prabhupada's words, and depend on Krsna's Prasadam!!!!     More news.   Tommorrow is Ekadasi! 

[Extracted regularly by Buck White from the Diary of Mr. Tom Brown]

Monkey, Piggy, Uncle Gismo, HpSwami ...  Had tied up their boat at the river town in Tennessee and were in the efforts of trying to convert it into a Spiritual Battle Ship for the War with Maya.

What makes a ship?
     Is it nuts and bolts?
Or is it people?
     Who clear their throats!

Because we are impersonal, we don’t know how to exchange pure love.
    So we take advantage of Sadhana and rituals from God above.

 They had been traveling so much, for so many years, that they were not sure if they could really follow the standard sadhana of ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada, in America.

 They started to adjust. They would go for a long therapeutic walk each evening with their psychiatrist and then, even though he was tired, HpS would direct Brother Ass up the stairs to the Temple room for Gayatri-mantra, Gaura-arati hymn and Kirtana of the Holy Names. It was not enough, however. Srila Prabhupada required 30-minutes of Bhajana (hymns) and Kirtana each evening for Members of his Society. So, they were still lacking taking some time before they went walking to do a little more Bhajan-Kirtana.

Also, they lacked the proper KRSNA book reading.  It was to be after hot-milk and everything.
HpSwami had started to form a KRSNA Book Club to fight The Witch, and do the delightful austerity of reading each night.  Sangat sanjayate kamah: One’s Desires and Ambitions Develop from the Company He Keeps!

All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

HpS - AGTSP!  pamho!!!!!             Incredible!    Maybe 3,000 Russians didn't come to your Festival, like in Mayapura, but I think that it was probably the best decorations in the world.  Nobody can beat Mexico for flowers!    Also, Uddharana's cakes are very, very, difficult to equal.   Such a nice Festival of course, Nityananda comes to see and then Lord Caitanya comes!   Such super news!          The Sankirtana will be great, great, great for the whole year now!

You should make a movie of ISKCON Mexico Temple:   First image is picture of Western hemisphere then move to Mexico, the to D.F., then to Chapultepec, then outside, inside, Temple, Radha and Her Beloved, SENOR Jagannatha!   Lots of Kirtana and devotees in the movie!

Everyone was engaged!!!!!!!!!!!   Reverencias!!!!!! 

All gloriesto Srila Prabhupada
All glories to You Maharaja

Dear Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. Off!if Maharaja, the answer that has given  Bhakta Manuel  helps me a lot <img alt="" height="18" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/01.gif" title="" width="18" />, thank you very much and I apologize for distracting from your busy with these things. We are seriously reading the thoughts of the Japa "Japa Joe"very impressive and too profound for our poor understanding, we can understand some things, others not much. We have a couple of questions what is the correct position? And what about when during the kirtan is sung saying KrishnO and not KrishnA  or RamO instead of RamA? <img alt="" height="18" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/33.gif" title="" width="18" />

Again thank you for your gracious care

HpS - ASA --  TlgaSP!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! !

 ! ! ! ! ! !                !! !!   ! ! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!   ! ! !    (paoho)      Thank you.    You letters are important!!!             For benefit of our Readers, Japa Joe, is a collection of odd thoughts that we have about Japa meditation, technique etc.   It is in the www.jayarama.us Archives under the title of Japa Joe. The ".doc" file is the latest.
I don't understand your question about "postion"??!      Do you mean, "Proper posture for Japa?".  Of course, it is flexible.   We can walk. Prabhupada says, "Sit properly!".  "Ramo" is Bengali pronunciation as far as I know.  It is like Spanish people say the "s" different than Mexican people.  Maybe some devotees were Bengalis in their last lifetime.  Maybe something else ???      I think its O.K.   but "Rama" sounds more natural to me.
We are trying to get ticket to visit Mexico for Rathaytra.   What are the dates??? 

Hare krishna dear GM!
Please Accept My Humble Obeisances
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I am very sorry that I haven't written you in long time, but just recently I got connection from home to internet, and of course, is very slow and unestable. So far we have been living here for last 4 months, in mayapur, and we are very happy to be here, we can feel the potency of the holy dham in all of our activities. There are some difficulties sometimes, but the benefit of living here is supreme.Festival time just passed and it was REALLY crowded, there were like 3000 russians, and thousands and thousands of bengalies. Morning program was very extatic, specially kirtans, the more the merrier :).
About our sadhana we are trying to chant 20 rounds daily and gradually increase, but as we develop the taste. We are attending daily mangala arati, and observing 4 reg principles. We are reading the 6th canto, the ajamila pastime, we love very much Srila Prabhupada purports speaking about the importance of Chanting Hare Krishna, and he says that if we want to chant offenselessly we have to then chant constantly, therefore by chanting more and more, day and night our offences will cease. very interesting.

For this festival my brother and sister in law came to visit us, I hope you remember Sugriva, Locananda's son, and Radha. So Sugriva became inspired to stay and attend to Gurukula. as you may imagine in Chile he is not having so good association, so we are very happy for him. But to stay here they are asking for 2 letters of recommendation, so one we already asked from the board of Chile, and the other we wanted to ask it to you if possible....
Thank you for everything, and i remain your humble servant. If you need anything from here just let me know please.

HpS - Jaya!           AGTSP!    pamho.    Yes, is long time no letter.  We sent you another letter about the letter of recomendation to the address that you included in your letter (and we cut out).        We are always happy to help devotees.       Just to hear from you is to think of Mayapura.    I guess even when it becomes 30,000 Russian devotees it will be no problem because Advaita Acharya and M. Sita and Mother Saci and Jagannatha Misra will all be managing things.
I guess we will see you in November then.
Did you meet Ambarisa Das and M. Vicki from Argentina while they were there?
What is your daily service?   Are you using your Degree to work in agriculutre????

HpS - TlgaSP!    pfanrh...    Para la informacion de nuestras otros leyentes (readers).  Cuzco es el capitol del empiro Inca, y uno de las mas fuertes de tourismo en el mundo.  Va por alla la gente quien busca espiritualidad.  Entonces hay opportunidad cambiar todo el mundo solamente predicando a las turistas, jovenes, que pasan por alla!
Cuzco, Centro de la Planeta!

ENtonce super, sus noticias.  Predicadores bien informados de BG, SB ....  Jagannatha Swami ya esta alla?     Nuestras reverencias al Raghu Prabhu!

"Bailando"???  Pero el templo es chiquitita.    Es la misma?    O tiene espacio mas grande?
Trabajo es bueno, pero no necesitamos tener miedo.  Krsna va a hacer la arregla que quiere para nuestra mantenimiento. Es nuestra Jefe. Si, estamos esforzondo basado en deseos materialista va a caer en sexo illicito para la estimulacion, no?   Eso es la ultima base de motivacioni material.  Esposa, esposo, familia tiene que ser muy tranquilo, feliz abajo de la proteccion del Senor Krsna, y con la associacion de devotos!!!  Photos!!!
