The sun has set and it is depressing. It is 6.07PM in the Sannyasi ashrama in Houston. Seems this is the first chance we have had to write in a while!

As we said we finished off the Tour with the "Second Education Congress" in the jungles of Chile, and then for the next six nights we woke up in five differenent beds [and one airplane seat].

Here in Houston the pace was just a thick: Goloka Foundation, Goloka Education, Bhakti-vaibhava.

Finally Brother Ass revolted and we had the second worse headache we have had in our entire life. Last time Doctor said we were one inch from a brain stroke, so we rested the brain.

Even now we are beginning to get one again.... Hari lila Das just came in. NGD just called. We are fat!

Jupiter!

A lot of our work at this age is purifiying the tool.

We have about 6-letters. None marked Urgent.

We called about five people today about travel plans. Our rounds are a little behind. We are working on the Peru conference and answered one nice Blog letter and a the Yahoo mail.

O.K. A quick bath.

11.36a.m. 28 January 2016 Gate 3, waiting lounge, Córdoba, Argentina, airport Hare Krishna, Hare Rama! 11.52am Seat 47, LAN 951, Destination Santiago, Chile. "Women and children are naturally filled with anxiety, and anyone who associates too much with these two groups of people becomes himself full of anxiety", Canakhya Pandita. One of the biggest sufferings while traveling is babies wailing in pain and frustration. Marcus Aurelius advises retreating into one's own private and peaceful consciousness several times during the day. He also advises that we should be assured each day we will meet someone who will unjustly criticize or try to humiliate us. Listen to their criticism and try to profit from it, but if they are attacking you because of some misidentification, then try to understand them and help them. Orange juice was just served. Offer it to Lord Nrsmha. If you remain constant in your meditation on Krishna, you can be a steady signpost for others: Here is Krsna. Go this way! He is anxious to see you. Obtain your unique service. Service, service is our game. Excellent service is eternal fame. Krsna wants you to chant His Holy Name. Even you die, or cannot finish this typed refrain.

Dear Hanumat Swami, Agtsp. pamho. I am a most miserable sinner. I ate p-nuts late at night and read science fiction stories on the internet at "project gutemberg". What should I do?

HpS - ASA - Take hot milk and sugar late at night and read the KRSNA book.

3.54AM - Yesterday we chanted 20-rounds and joined the Innauguration of the Education with ISKCON congress here in Santiago. It was 87% successful. A lot for Kali-yuga. Now we chant Japa and Tweet.

AGTSP   paoho   We just arrived from Cordoba. Long hard trip, but incredible results. We were talking with Psychologists and Clinic Directors at every step. All the programs with Devotees were packed with people. We spent two nights in the remote mountains of the Big Orchard. Now we are in Santiago at Ragha sindhu's home. We go to the Temple in one hour.  Answered the mail, Tweeted. Have to look at the Verses for canto one and two.

Three Swami's lecture this evening.

Had our teeth cleaned in Cordoba. It cost $25. In USA it is $65. IN USA they say do it three times a year. In Cordoba they said there was almost no build up, do it once a year.

Huerta Grande, Argentina,

AGTSP  paoho   We travel all morning through the mountains from Cordoba and got here. We are staying in a very old stone house on the edge of the city. Piggy said it was built by Colonial settlers and is guarded by the ghosts of Spanish soldiers. The wooden floors are 400 years old. We had a nice lunch of pumpkin, olive oil and bread Prasadam. 

Tonight there will be a program, but right now we have traveled on Ambarisa and Vrsabhanu nandini's flying carpet with Campaka lata and Devarsi narada to the house of VBNN father. It is also a forest home, but here they have internet.

We have a strong headache but it should go away. Maybe we will go away before it goes away. Ja! Ha! Ha!

One devotee and his wife came by, Visnu-cakra Das. He is a stunt man for the movies and was parachuting out of an airplane with a camera-man also parachuting and filmin him, but at the end their chutes collided and VCD free fell the last 30-meters, 100-feet.

Where did he crash into the ground?

Right into a football field where the local Doctor's association was playing the local Para-medic association in football!

I can imagine then, thinking, "Well, here we get a day off from the hospital to play foot ball!", Plop.

He lived and is 15% steel but looks fine.

Well I guess that's about all for right now. It is becoming a challenge to organize things, India visit, Education Symposium. Seems God wants us to turn more and more things over to others.

Hare Krsna.

We just answered all the letters but a couple got erased. Traveling we can't do everything. It is almost 125 degrees Farenheit here in Cordoba, Argentina. It is dark and hot. All the windows are closed. Lot of stress on our eyes with this computer. We did FMP with Ekacakra gram Gaura-Nitai Das, Vrsabhanu nandidni Devi Dasi's father this morning. everyone else was d-e-a-d from the BIG SACRIFICE to organize the Jung x Bhagavata Program last night.

Then we worked on the Godfather Diploma, SB 2-3, file. It is very, very difficult. Trying to sumarize the Bhagavatam in a question format.

Maybe we should do some other Sankirtan, but the best way to do that is to continue with what we are doing.  Sankirtan is the best way to improve our Sankirtan, no?

Then some soup with Ambarisa, Eka, Vbnndd (her baby) and Champaka-lata Devi Dasi.

Life is tough then...      you die.

Then napped a little. Read a little from Gutenberg.org, Britannica about History of China (literature) and    BLOG >>>=====>     Answered ALL the Mail.

Saturday is the Kapi Dhvaja.

The PDP class will be at 8AM Nashville hour for both Spanish and English.

Ambarisa Das just came in (How is Hari Lila Das?), and opened the windows. Got some light now. Heat is decreasing. Not as bad as was Kolkatta. Now we write few more letters: NA Education Conference, (Skype chat with RGD. He is going to Houston), upload some files, bath, go to evening program, read five annual reports.
