Edgar Allen Poe, Monkey Offering!
Hare Krsna Gurudeva,
Please accept my most humble obeisances.
All glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada!
I read on the blog after Vyasapuja to write back again at another time because you were flooded with offerings!
On your Vyasapuja we made some attempts to be a monkey servant: peanut butter cookies, soup, air popped popcorn and bananas to Krsna and shared with Bala, Lalita and Bhaktin Andrea. I had a dream last night where I told you I went to work part time as a new therapist at a community health center downtown (I just started working, so this part is true). I was very happy that you laughed at my emerging false ego and very seriously assured me to keep up with rounds.
I apologize for not attending the last week of classes. You mentioned that you would like to do a Pada Padma meeting before class, will this be for Ananta Rupas SB chapter one reading notes and discussion? Please let me know how we can best participate.
HpS - The Saturday morning class is in flux. It definitely seems to be going forward. The Bh. Vedanta part is getting more organized with Vaisesika Das participation. We cannot find out if there any morning classes in the Boise temple right now. You can see our daily and weekly class schedule in the Kapi Dhvaja. Hope you get a chance to help people in you job!
Jahnavi Nila picture and family below. Hari bol and Thank you from our family Maharaj. Please let us know how we can better serve you and Krsna. We are stumbling along. Ananta Rupa is gone and Murari does evening and mangal arati services at least 6 days a week as well as take care of Jahnavi while I work!!
HpS - Super man!!!!!
Right now he is surprisingly not overwhelmed! He may also go to Spain soon.
We are born with these endless desires Maharaj, (when your young your asked do you want apple juice or orange juice?? Does it matter what kind of juice that we have ??) and I can see that following some kind of Varnashrama has helped my mind be less disturbed over the years. Striving for regularity in habits and schedule, austerity/misery/baby cooing that comes with having a child. At some point how do we get get rid of a niyamagrahah yuppy mentality complacency in KC. Sometimes thinking about the clock that reminds the masquerade folly of death and mortality in the Edgar Allen Poe prose poem http://www.online-literature.com/poe/36/ helps!!!
Your servants,
Kamagayatri Dasi, Jahnavi Nila and Aja
Now there are days outstretched like empty seed lots
Fields the farmer is too old to tend to
Thirty five and looking at the expanse
I am tired and she is wearing Me like a thin coat
The donkey skiffs and skoffs with the stillness of the 5:30 slow rise
The Sita Hanuman picture glows on as an omen
To greet the ether world with grace
And the knob of the old crackly radio
is our fog horn to stop an increpid disease of jiva jago humdrum
"Anjana Suta Academy recording ABC Workshop Canto Seven, Bhakti-vedanta Curriculum!"
The sadhu birds awakens the nearly half frozen folly
With Rupa Nuga prayers
Two drop offerings of charanAmrita butter milk
And tales of sleeping under a new tree every night
Suddenly our nest looks small, silly and Brittle
So much bothersome gathering
Of small sticks
And mud for this..??
Wings together in prayer the fields now seem to breathe and awaken with every verse sweetly sung by the sadhu Sanga
A flock to follow
Take your children and start anew
Scoff at the empty seed lots
And glide to a new Bihari Vrindavan tune
The dew mixing with a watery tear
Sentiment at its best
Whispers one bird to another
"I'm finally going home..."

Beautiful inspiring poetry. If we season all this with the KRSNA book we may be "1"s before all of our "0"s. Go ahead, more news.
