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.

Here we are in the hall next to the B'cari Ashrama. We can't get connection in our room. BsAs.   Nice wind blowing the trees outside our window. We are on the second story. 934 Cuidad de la Paz, (Santi pur), BsAs.  Is a very European city in many ways.

It is 5.27PM.   We have little stomach pain, but now we are supposed to take hot milk prasadam.

Then we do some PdP work and then 6-6.30PM we will be in the Temple room if anyone wants to talk. 6.30-7.00PM,Gaura-arati. Maybe 25 devotees.  7-8.00PM. Class. We will bring our Book Bag and pull everything out of it, starting with LOB, and talk about ASA.

O.K. see you soon.

We answered three letters today and three Guru Reports. Again we can't answer letters except Urgent ones.

AGTSP paoho It is Wednesday. Just past midnight. All is quiet in the Temple. We are sitting alone in our room writing. We started working at 8.48PM. It hurts our eyes considerable to use the computer now, but what else is life for? The meetings with scholars, USA Embassy, Temple programs, Disciples, forest retreats, have all been very hard for us. We are experiencing intense confusion with the GBC function in a few cases. Krsna will adjust all these things as long as we keep on chanting. We sorted all the gifts we got for Vyasapuja. Only a few can we take with us. They are nice. We answered all the Yahoo mail. There has been a lot. Looked at the Blog. Appreciated about twenty letters by name and title, but had to erase several of them. Just don't have strength to do more. About eleven we have kept and hope to answer them. Today, National Library, PdP class preparation. Tomorrow >>=====> BsAs. Hare Krsna. "We're all going to die. It's how you live that counts", Conan the Barbarian.

Hare Krsna!

Esteemed Professor Samaresh, Dr. R. P. Singh et al,
We are in Santiago, Chile. We tried to call Prof.s cellular but the call would not go through. We are very, very, very occupied with lectures, our 'guru' duties and just staying alive. The NIOS work is going wonderfully. All of our disciples, students, here, have continued the work very well. Last night they arranged a personal dinner party at the home of the Director of Agriculture for the US Embassy and several Deans of Universities, President Jung Association and one excellent scholar, Nobel Candidate came. She agreed to join the program in Peru the 21-23 June. Her latest book is being published by Random House, as I remember.
The deadline for articles for 'Solaris' is 31st March.
The focus is narrowing for this first conference and looks like the international guests will just be from the Americas, but we are all still pushing for articles from Prof. and I was also thinking of Kalyankumar Chakraborty. The theme is "Psychology of the Sacred".
We may be able to meet with Humberto Mathurana, Nobel Candidate in Biology, this next week, then Wednesday is 'Jung and India' at the National Library. Last year there were 151 seats in the auditorium and we had 250 people come.
We have so much other work in mind, but will wait for your comments before we go more into depth.
Thursday we continue to Buenos Aires.
