Aare Krsna, Mates

AGTSP paoho.   5.45PM here in Nila-madhava Dhama. Not too hot, there are some clouds, so we can sit with the windows open.

Our room is on the second floor.

Hari-lila Das is with Rama-giri-dhari Das, but should be coming in any minute.

We have 15-rounds left from today, but have chanted 16 from yesterday. We fell behind somewhere here. We do that and then catch up. We have to get better at Sadhana bhakti.

Brother Ass feels a little sick, probably liver stress, but we can walk and chant.

We finally got to the Blog and answered a lot of letters. You saw them!!!???

That's what happens when we don't have classes to prepare for or 7-hours of Symposium time. We can spend time here with you all - Monky Warriors.

Gotta set priorities, understand our limits. That is Vaidhi Bhakti, no?

Everyday here, the Temple program from 4.15-9.15 AM is wonderful. So easy to have a personal relationship with Radha and Nila-madhava. So many devotees here for the programs regularly.

Kirtaniya-sada-hari.... That is the eternal, constant, basic program and then Krsna will give us Association. That will give us Plans.

O.K. Answer Jaya-pataka Swami's letter and post a copy here.

Hare Krishan Maharaj

PAMHO. AGTSP!

I understand Maharaj. I have therefore duly sent the beads to the given address (20/07/16), which should be received by your kind self in approximately two weeks time.

I was going to include money for resending them back to me but thought it more prudent to send it via PayPal as to avoid the exorbitant fees, and also ensure that you at least receive that, in case the parcel does not arrive.

Please advise me of your PayPal account details, so I may do that immediately.

YS,

Jay.

HpS - ASA --- Thank yo uso much. AGTSP. Maybe we can meet in India this February? Let's just wait for the money transfer.

Hare Krsna.

AGTSP.Paoho. 9.19pm. Shyama arati, Nila madhava temple. 100 people here.

Goodnight Radha Krsna.

Symposium finished.

Exhausted. First chance to rest since we got here, for two hours.

Maybe we have time for Blog letters now. They are big priority.

Hari Bolo.

Hare Krsna.

We are about to explode. Maybe there were too many peas in our porridge today.   It is 5.49PM.   We have already had two or three pretty intense programs today and now we will have a birthday party for Abhi Thakura's good wife, Maria. Then we will go to the airport and chant rounds until midnight, fly to Mexico. There are about 25-devotees here and increasing. So often so many devotees want 'just one minute Maharaja' at the last minute, but really they want to explain their specific situation, often in great emotional detail, and then receive a solution.
Mangala ananda said recently, "After seven years I have realized that you are my Guru, not my psychologist".  If you have both it can be a very happy life (forever).

Hare Krsna.

What does Krsna want (to play)?   We can be the center of attention of hungry wolves, or people offering us money, or ... but really it is Krsna who is the center, so we can just relax and let him direct us as He likes.

Lao Tzu - One should conduct then affairs of the Empire in the same way a beggar would fry a small fish.

Hare Krsna.

We are weak minded, or have a limited amount of mental strength. Getting up in front of 65-people and expressing your ideas is a very intense experience for us. Our Ayurvedic doctor, Rupanuga, tolds, "One, maybe two lectures a day". We see it's true. Yesterday we got up early. Did full morning program. Did two personal interviews. Was always the Example of  many eyes. Did an intense breakfast with five people as planning meeting. Class befor and after breakfast and then planned to come back for the afternoon, but... as soon as we were alone, we almost collapsed. Felt Krsna grounding us.

Ooof.  Afternoon off doing nonsent mental work (with one more intense meeting with Hare Krsna Dasi and Patraka Das when they came to see us at our Ashrama.)
Part of the reality is that this goes on Day after Day.

We think it is a good thing. We have to learn how to adjust our selves. This is the spiritual world. Surrounded by devotees. We all just have to learn how to live in this atmosphere, no?
O.K. Answered all the mail to three days ago.

Hare Krsna!!!!!!    Japa, Japa, Japa....  vidya vadhu jivanam.

Today we have packed progam until about 3.30PM, Then we go to Lima and meet with Rupananuga and Abhirama Thakura.  Thank you so much Radha Gokulananda.  We hope this KC movement expands to give you relief from Your suffering in this material world.
