Visiting New Kishkinda, ISKCON Nashville.
FRIENDS WRITE
"We were thinking of visiting Mufreesboro during the Memorial weekend. Also, whenever you would like to visit our new Ashram we could fly you over.
Anytime.
We understand you have been traveling for last 9 months and Your body needs rest so whenever is good for you. 🙏🙇🏽♀😊
Also, thank you very much for the darshan this morning 🙏"
HpS/ASA - 🙂 Let us offer our thanks to Srila Prabhupada who keeps all of us alive by his personal care and through his servants!
We feel sad that we cannot be with so many devotees who have hosted us etc. over so many years.
Beyond that, there are teachers who helped us, family, school friends, government people, business people.
Our Social Security representative here is Ms. Brown. I don't think I have ever met her, but she is responsive, works the system to take care of us. It is so wonderful. When we write or talk to her we try to inject whatever we have to offer in terms of Brahma-jnana. Money can't pay for that kind of personal effort.
Buying boxes of 50-packs, of 1-oz. packs, of Planter's P-nuts etc. and then offering them to Lord Nrsmhadeva (I think He is a P-nut Person) and then leaving a few with the Bank Teller, Post-man et al. Is so satisfying.
Every American loves Mr. P-nut! He has a third eye. A Danda. A graceful threefold bending posture. He is celibate.
Was thinking this was Maya: "HpSwami you are such a Sahajiya".
At that moment was walking up the path to Banabatta Das's house and right on the hedge was a Mister P-nut package!
[[A message from God??]]
Also, saw a painting of Mr. P-nut goes to heaven.

We can be in touch with telecommunication. It is Ravana's version of telepathy, no? Then when we go to Goloka we are all in communication be everyone communicating with everyone else in complete smart-transparency.
The only person to talk to/for/about is Krsna!
We are trying to get a regular weekly, fortnightly, telecommunication schedule. Full one-hour class a day now is too much. Reading NOD during FMS for example is very potent. We want to hear enough to keep pure, become more pure, so we can serve as teachers to the innocent people that Krsna sends to us!

VISITING THE BORO
Jaya hari Das, Nandu-lal Das for example have mercifully expressed desire to visit here! That's great. Right now we really don't expect to travel much. Maybe to Rich Mound because Allegiant has a direct flight.
If we travel we need someone to pick us up, carry us there, and bring us back.
Oink! 🐖 🐖🐖🐖
(Only idiots neglect Krsna)
In Murfreesboro, 902 Hillcrest Drive, we have a 1952 trailer house.
Basic bones are solid, but the superficial stuff: Roof, walls, plumbing, are a shamble.
Small.
O.K. for Brahmacaris and Sannyasis and guys who are happy camping in the forest. Drawing bucket water for everything.
For Grhastha and Vanaprastha couples, the community here often hosts people in their homes, but that means getting in touch with them personally.
Srinivasa Das, Sundara-radhika Devi Dasi and The Sugopi-radha Devi Dasi, visited several times. It has been very delightful.
They use AirBNB to find interesting places.
For me it is essential that we get a physical FMS going here.
-Essential-
Otherwise we will be dragged back to the lotus feet of Nila-madhava or even Govinda-candra (I think that maybe the next time we visit India, our gross body will be in a jar 😁).
If we plan these visits then we can make them useful for practical Sankirtan service - Eg. visiting places of pilgrimage, like the Civil War memorials (???), Stones River. Getting to know the community. Working in the ASA Ashrama (making movies). Developing community, orchards, College here.
⏰Memorial Day sounds great⏰
Thank you so much for your association.
It,🌞, is at 12.02 post meridian. Time to start Lord's lunch.
Join us for Raja-bhoga!!
