Una joven, devota, tiene una infección y la nariz y es posible que deba extirparse.

¿Es esta misericordia de Krsna?

"¡Oye, Chica! ¡Despierta! ¡No vas a ser una joven atractiva para siempre! Aprende a vivir para que puedas ser perfectamente útil, amada, respetada, en cualquier circunstancia".

real definition of "Co-vid": "tasyaiva hetoḥ prayateta kovido". It makes us thoughtful about birth, death, disease and old age: "janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi- duḥkha-doṣānudarśanam", https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/13/8-12/

Fasting for Ekadasi etc. we usually become very weak... then we fall asleep... then we have a low but steady energy. SB class took some time to prepare but was very satisfying for us. It was the second part of our DTC-UT-S-VEDAS. Science and the Vedas.

Then walk and talk with NgD, Dr.D & Vijaya Ji.

8PM - Radha Nila-madhava group = Krsna and Balarama arrive at, and are received for, the marriage of Rukmini. Will we be citizens of Her city in our next lifetime?

EKASASI - WE CLOSE THE DTC[P]

Hare Krishna GURUDEVA PFANHR.

TODAS LAS GLORIAS A SRILA PRABHUPADA Y A USTED!!

Hace 20 días, en plena impresión de SOLARIS 5 nos contagiaron. Por su misericordia y de SADAI NIMAY-NITAY, me estoy curando bien y mejorando cada día, espero en una semana más estar totalmente curado.

La impresión salió HERMOSA (adjunto fotos), tenemos 345 ejemplares para distribuir en todos los países que se pueda (en Chile con Carlitos, Arjuna y otros se distribuye muy bien)

Por ahora, hasta que sanemos hemos dejado de activar los equipos técnico, Editorial, de comunicaciones, de INDIA de SOLARIS y también hable con el Cineasta Raúl Zevallos y Ambarisa, todo bien. María ya se curó al 108% SADAI NIMAY-NITAY!!!!!

Eso es todo lo que puedo informar por ahora respetable GURUDEVA,

Su insignificante sirviente, Abhirama Thakura dasa

Hare Krishna GURUDEVA PFANHR.

ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA AND YOU !!

20 days ago, in full printing of SOLARIS 5, we were infected with Co-vid. By Guru's mercy and from SADAI NIMAY-NITAY, I am healing well and improving every day, I hope in another week to be fully healed.

HpS - ASA - Ha! Ha! Ha! Then the next dis-ease will come. Freezing weather of Winter is finished here but now, our old associate, hay-fever is coming, Spring time.

The printing came out BEAUTIFUL (I attach photos), we have 345 copies to distribute in all the countries that can be (in Chile with Carlitos, Arjuna and others it is distributed very well).

HpS - We need to send some to India, Dr. Samaresh et al. Who amongst our readers can be our agent there??? Also we want to send to Sonu Shamdasani. Maybe is better if it is sent from Spain.

For now, until we heal we have stopped activating the SOLARIS INDIA technical, Editorial, communications, and SOLARIS teams, and I also spoke with Filmmaker Raúl Zevallos and Ambarisa, all good. María is already 108% cured SADAI NIMAY-NITAY !!!!!

HpS-ASA - Raul is our Director for our main project, a movie, Diary of a Traveling Creature - The Ultimate Trip! We (HpS/ASA) have finished our first pass on:

1. Interfaith Dialog,
2. The Bhaktivedanta Library and
3. Science and the Vedas.

Lectures are recorded on line, we hope that Ambarisa Das and Mataji et al can post them on the ASA Audio Visual, YouTube Channel. Next we should do:

1. World Classical Literature and
2. Uncle Gismo - Practical Arts.

Then I think that our ASA work is done and we will see if anyone responds so that we can edit interviews for the movie.

• Dr. Samaresh
• Vaidya Ruben Devoto
• Prof. Juan Dejo
• Et al

That is all I can report for now, respectable GURUDEVA,

His insignificant servant, Abhirama Thakura dasa

ASA - HpS - Ayee. Chihuahua! You did not mention the $$$ accounts. Honestly I think there is a 90% chance that NIOS will be finished within one year unless we can become a little more professional in our management and accounting. By 'we' I mean all off us related to NIOS including HpS and TB/BW.

You have to have a Treasurer in Peru you guards and reports about NIOS funds to the Treasurer in USA.

Please send details about the money that NIOS owes Visual Imprint for Viplavah!!

Of course if NIOS closes then we can all work for ASA - Make the Kapi Dhvaja the greatest periodical in the world.

Estimado Dhenupala Das y su estimada esposa escribieron,

"[7:59 PM, 3/23/2021] Dhenupal Das: HK Maharaja acepté nuestras reverencias TLGASP.

Entendemos que había algunos inconvenientes.

Krishna sabe todo su esfuerzo y justo cuando estábamos terminando de hablar del proyecto, entro Maharaja Hridayananda Goswami que también estaba interesado y hablo con todos de la importancia de realizar proyectos de educación, como estos y sumar esfuerzos.

Para nosotros estamos muy agradecidos ya que se hubieramos convocado a todos no hubiese sido así de bueno.

Se que se complica estar en tantos meeting. Pero si cree que es posible proponemos uno que coincidamos en la hora,

A su servicio Dhenupal das y Krishna Priya

[8:01 PM, 3/23/2021] Dhenupal Das: HK Maharaja accepted our TLGASP obeisances.

We understand that there were some drawbacks.

Krishna knows all their effort and just when we were finishing talking about the project, Maharaja Hridayananda Goswami came in who was also interested and talked to everyone about the importance of carrying out educational projects, like these and joining forces.

For us we are very grateful since we had summoned everyone, it would not have been that good.

I know it is difficult to be in so many meetings. But if you think it is possible, we propose one that we coincide in time,

At your service Dhenupal das and Krishna Priya

HpS - ASA - Thank you very much! Your association is very enlivening to us. It is 6.15AM. We have 8/16 rounds done! Mangala-arati, NoD, Japa (chatting) online with 35+ devotees, and now looking at the Whatsapp.

We just finished the Houston, Gaura-purnima festival class. It takes so much energy for us to do this.

Our Ayurvedic councilor, Rupanuga Caitanya Das, told us:

One maybe two classes/day. You are extremely committed to the things you say. They are very dear to you. A politician can talk 20-times a day because they have no commitment to what they are saying. They may despise the people they are flattering.

Then there is prep-time. We really do well with Power Point shows. Oscar Natars, Latin American Critic's Association, Director of Year Award, recipient, said that we were "Masters of Power-point".

Jaya! It is our Sudra-Brahmana-Brahmana-Brahmana nature. Mental work and manual labor. Art is sudra.

Maybe one hour for a PPTX for a one hour presentation, but afterwards we can look at the shows and feel very satisfied. Then you can use them later. Work on them. Make movies and books from them.

THEN

1. There is the technical work.
2. Did we post the link on the Blog.
3. Now we must Tweet it and post it on the local Radha-Natabara group.
4. Awk! Had to search for Chirag's e-mail and then we weren't sure if we could share the Zoom link or had to get a YouTube link. We call Chirag and he did not answer. We called Saranga and he answered, then Chirag answered and sent the links for our ASA friends and family.
5. Then... NgD, Dr. Desai and Vijaya Ji, and our selves all go walking from 5.30-6.15PM, but the class starts at 6PM!!! Communication by Whatsapp. We will leave at 5.15PM and HpS/TB/BW all riding Brother Ass can join until 5.45PM and then race back in his 21 year old Mercedes to join the class.

🐎 🐎 🐎

So this is why we missed SB class and Dhenugopala Das' programs today. Confession!

During FMP someone asked, "Your giving three classes today!!??", and we realized, it will be too much. In the back of our head. Even we we set up the calendar we were thinking, this will be too much.

Formerly we would have eaten seven Rasagullas and done the work (like a passionate ass), but now we just can't do that any more.

We started pushing to do the first too classes, at least one, and realized that we can do very little now.

It does seem to be rich, with good possibilities, but we have to learn to use a whole new body.

Happens all through life, no?

SB gives such good advice about how to use Male, Female, Sudrs, Ksatriya, Young, Old Body.

Your body is your buddy???

Now its 7.15PM

We have 16 rounds done.

Took care of the mail.

FMP with so many wonderful devotees. Good dialog with NgD/Dr.Desai/Vijay.

How is Abhirama/Nanda?

Texted Don to come and cut the grass.

Etc.

Our picture attached.

(God aches in our eyes, chest, respiration)

It is so funny.

Hare Krsna.

We won't detail this again.

Same as you all, no?

See you in the Blog!

Sankirtan!!

HpS - ASA

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP,

We were hearing your lecture on books are the basis. In that you mentioned

"one should build personal relation with Prabhupada".

For steel framed heart , a loner, low EQ person, (all this my mind not me ), 2 leg- animal, like us how can we establish personal connection. Is it okay to have personal-indirect connection all the time?

We are struggling with our necessities of eating, sleeping, working and defending. but one thing is good----16 rounds and 4 rules are intact and increasing in seriousness.

Virtual Mangal artik is more regular.

The best time is when we hear your lectures, and as you said "books are the things which you want to remember", kindly give us permission to transcribe your lectures.

I know personally you don't want to eclipse position of Srila Prabhupada,

but for fools like us, we need bridge like you.

We are not that fortunate and sincere as you are, but still somehow we got your association. We know once you are physically gone, only your voice will be remaining.

Frankly speaking we don't see any other purpose than to serve you in any capacity, in current life.

our wife and kid left us. its not a problem. you leave this world is a end of world for us practically.

I know you want us to preach, then what an two leg animal like us can do to preach.

we are saying this because in our department somebody regularly criticked us and then in reaction our hands legs started shaking, with rush of blood. We could not stop it immediately. now this is strange behaviour. reason we could figure out was hunger as trigger.

everybody has sort of disowned us, they expect us to be mature.

we are just two legged animal, who studied things to get bread.

but we console ourselves by saying that we had fortunate to share rooms, car, flight with HpS.

Srila Prabhupada took care of fool like us by making us meet you.

as Srila Prabhupada said he will live in his books forever, please allow us to make you alive forever also.

Youtube lectures are there, but still books seems to be more integrated.

robotic, automated, 2 -legged animal

HpS - Esteemed two legged animal with Doctorate !!

1) Your association is always nice. How can Srila Prabhupada or any one who reveres him forget the work you did to make the 'International Symposium on the Contribution of Ancient India in Making a Better World', in Calcutta. So many other ways you have helped Srila Prabhupada's mission.

Maybe you have shortcomings (in the material world everyone will show that [NOI-6]), but anybody with good heart and good brains will find some way to get the good aspects of your association.,

2) Transcribing: First work on the ASA(e). We seem to have stumbled in moving it forward. I (and TB/BW) just need a file that we can open with Word with everything in one alphabetic sequence ie. Essays and References.

O.K? Some of the DTC-UT presentations that we are making now could be made into publications and well as movies. First the ASA(e), no? The lectures could be edited into it.

3) Personal relationship with Srila Prabhupada: "The spiritual master is the transparent medium, although it is true that the experience is still direct." https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/18/advanced-view/#bb4272

It is like seeing the world through glasses. You have a direct experience of the world. So test of Guru parampara is that we have a direct experience of Srila Prabhupada through:

1. Paramatma
2. Deity
3. Books
4. Devotees
5. Dreams
6. Process
7. etc.

We used the weed whipper yesterday with goggles. It was good. Trimmed down a lot of weeds. Now we have Texted Don [Christian] is he can come and cut the major part. Many blossoms here. Hope to get to Discount Tire and get the Mercedes tire fixed.

Cooked two tablespoons of fennel seeds, two tblspns of rolled oats, and one robust carrot, and few walnuts and little salt, little olive oil, for Lord's lunch.

Was nice offering. As soon as we thought about how much to cook for Him etc. our consciousness changed and usually we cooked less and had a finer idea of what kind of food was needed for Him to have full energy.

We do not know anything.

Whatever plans we have, memories, are the result of chanting.

They keep the Calendars.

They defend us, or sacrifice us to the mall assassinators.

AGTSP Paoho..
