Brother Ass is feeling bite of cold on his shirtless skin. He does not wear shirts or pants because they are too difficult to wash.

Now he just wears Choddar, Shawl, Blanket.

In Radha-kunda the shop keepers are starting to display nice selection of winter Choddars.

Maya!

HpS thinks Brother Ass may have cancer of the:

• Bellybutton.
• Cheek.
• Nose.
• Stomach.

May be true. This may be the last Kapi Dhvaja.

10.32 AM - Now we pause here, pack our bags, and head to THE KUNDA for regular Thursday Monkey Medley at Gopal-mandir.

. . .

1.42PM, Next day, Friday - We had such an intense stomach ache after Gopal program that we could not work on this KDh. Maybe is from the nasty antibiotics that we are taking for our infected bellybutton (BBD = Belly Button Das).

We studied chanting in that debilitated state and then the FEP pulled us together.

FMP today. Took Lord Nrsmhadeva's diet into out own hands for the first time since we have been here and prepared peas porridge for him.

Still some stow mack-ayk but little better sense control.

DIARY OF A TRAVELING CREATURE

for this fortnight was pretty good. It shows that every day we make a little material adjustment to improve our service. Eg. One day we pushed our massive Indian bed back four inches to the wall and that allows us to sit up straighter. Is this all 'punja punya krti', accumulating eternal pious credit so that one day ... we will play with Krsna!

We really have the DTC-USA editing going now. Pablo has like 78% of the editing script and we've identified precisely which other shots we have to record.

One day Krsna-loka Das took us around to some nice places next to the Kunda and we recorded the narrative for the USA movie.

After focusing on the editing, our next aim is consolidating the vision and practice of NIOS and it's relation with the Bhaktivedanta Research Center in Kolkata.

We have a strong tradition for every Thursday of 11am-12.30PM at BSDM Gopala Temple, and Saturday at www.GoTomeeting (737 859 341) at 6.30pm with Upendra Das and HpS. Very satisfying, stimulating, programs.

Our whole goal is to become qualified Sankirtan men.

Raktaka's whole family of 10-people came from Punjab and found us. It was intense relating to them, remembering visiting their homes.

We initiated Mr. G. Gunamani Sharma of Manipur as Goswami Bhatta Gopal Das in Gopal-mandir during H. H. B. S. Damodara Maharaja's Vyasapuja.

Another INTENSE 😬 program. Day.

We go to the Kunda daily if not twice a day.

Now so many people are arriving who will stay for Guru puja. It will be up to two weeks of Sadhu sanga, parikrama, administrative talks and formal programs starting 19th December.



After that we will basically be packing and then off to Delhi, Mumbai, Imphal, Silchar, Agartala, Delhi, Madrid (with Dhruva Das, Subhadra-mayi Devi Dasi).

We're working on the details of the Calendar and will post them in the Blog as they develop.

That seems to be about it.

Dr. Arun Chakraborty is our neighbor, very nice person and monitoring our BellyButton.

ABC

The 1,000 copies of Tava-pache-pache are printed by Sri Hari, Subhadra-mayi Devi Dasi etal. Now we distribute them and put them to use.

We Tweeted (huber_robinson) the links for the Ministry of Education symposium.

We speak Sunday at 6.35AM.

CALENDAR

Mostly above and in the Blog. Seems we can only do Upendra Das' Saturday classes on Dec. 17, 31 and Jan. 7th.

Will join Radha-Natabara programs as much as possible.

GURU-TATTVA

We get 16-rounds done by 6AM. Read from TLC. Follow four principles.

AGAIN! 🤔 Annual Disciple Reports must be submitted in the Blog under the REPORT button. Maybe 30-reports have already be filed and we responded!

UNCLE GISMO

Hoping to do some Science and the Vedas presentations on the Delhi, Mumbai tour. Bachelor Beans, bramachari's cooking for Krsna, has advanced a lot. We can really see why Srila Prabhupada traveled with a cook. So, so, so difficult to eat properly while traveling. Can die a rapid death.

Main thing is that whatever technique and tools we develop in Krsna's service, nehabikramo naso sti, have eternal facility.

Indu-leka and Citra-leka are both famous for their writing!

PIGGY'S PARTING PEARLS.

Will Swami Harsh take initiation in Vyasapuja?

Is this the last Kapi Dhvaja?

Old age is a good friend for a devotee. It pushes you off the mental platform and onto the intellectual platform.

💪💪💪

Hari Hari Bolo!

Thank you for your answers!

We hope our classes are useful to you!

Hari bolo!

Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

Tentative date to receive Vrndavana printed TPP is 10th.

Meanwhile we are trying to line up pre bookings. Here are some ideas on how to distribute the book once it’s out. Please let us know your esteemed thoughts 🙏.

1. We may host a 3 day seminar teaching from this book Dec 22,23,24 (VP being last day). Devotees will have opportunity to get TPP personally autographed

ASA - Thank you all! You can see in the VP calendar suggest in parallel post that there will be some promo at VPuja.

I was thinking we might get out for Parikaramas the days before VP.

Then we could present the book on those.

2. We may circulate a page in audience to get names for autograph.

ASA - Hmmm. Just requires pen and paper to implement.

3. We are trying to put the book for selling on Amazon.in

4. After discussion with some devotees who seek spiritual books, we suggest to place cost of book: 300₹, special occasion discount: 200₹.

ASA - We had similar thoughts.

5. We might ask vrindavan temple book shops and VIHE and online book stores, BBT to place their pre-booking orders with us.

ASA - Yes.

6. We may ask for book reviews written/recorded by HG Bhurijan Maharaj, HH Radhanath Maharaj, HH Sachinandana Maharaj, HH Rasamrita Maharaj, HH Jayadvait Maharaj, HH Gopal Krsna Maharaj, and HH Kadamba Kanan Maharaj.

ASA - Yes. Reviews and suggestions from different people! They need to be approached personally.

Please let us know your thoughts on this. If any other devotees would like to contribute, please share ideas 🙏.

your servant,

Subhadra Mayi DD

ASA - One idea is that it is not a timed book. So, we printed 1,000 copies so that we would have a stock in India for maybe one year.

Devotees visiting can take some back to their countries.

What about Rasabhihari Lal and Sons?

Seems we need a stock in Mumbai and other places where we have friends with clear promotional information, like who to contact for orders and how to pay.

Thank you so much.

Thanks to your Uncle...

Hare Krsna.

We are sick and tired and cold and lonely.

Ha! Ha! Hare!

😁

As soon as we say that we laugh.

Of course, we are!

So are you.

This is the material world.

There is no pleasing weather without bad weather.

Old age is a collection of dis eases.

Use this body like an old tool.

Use it to the very end, and then recycle it into a new tool or.... or....

Wake up to your real tools, in your real home.

Go...

🐂🐂🐮🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐷🐮🐮🐮

... loka.

8.12PM

Tired.

Long day.

Every day, we learn new tricks in Vaidhi bhakti.

Our bellybutton infection is not bright red anymore but still there.

We texted Dr. Chakravarty about trying a different anti-fungal cream.

Krsna svarpa Das and other devotees are stating to arrive from Silchar etc.

USA Movie editing is going swiftly now.

Work with NIOS, Dr. Samaresh, Art Das, Sumantra et al is going well.

Ranchor, Govinda, Sri Hari/Syama-sakhi/Subhadra-mayi, Krsna-loka, Vipin, T. Vidya Devi Dasi, Vira-Gadadhara, Pramodini Radha, SUKADEVA et al, et al, are our neighbors and constant companions, and keep us alive!

We just do a little.

They do a lot.

One cleaning lady comes daily and sweeps and washes the floor.

She is wife of nice fire sacrifice devotee. While she is her we go up on the roof sometimes and chant.

Now the sun is warm in the morning up there even though it is getting cold here.

Hare Krsna!!

Which one of us will be the next to die?

Dance on fire until the end, Hari-kirtan is your only friend.

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP

How can I get rid of pride of austerities or not smoking or getting up early ?

HpS - By considering that only by Srila Prabhupada's austerity have we been able to follow the regulative principles.

Left to our own free will we would be trying to enjoy all manner of demonic delights.

How can I engage pride for KC ?

ASA - https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/14/140/

🦍 ??? Useful?

Is "being proud and being" egoistic according to language used by Prabhupada?

how are pride and presitge related ?

can your grace elaborate on these or mention some sections of Shastra to read.

regards,

Harsh

HpS - Think we can be very proud that we have done something nice for Krsna. That we did some real sacrifice for His satisfaction, but acknowledging that we are like little children and need a lot of help to make our little offers useful.

Small but with help, very real!
