paoho

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.

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.

Our report to Dr. Samaresh, says it all, Paoho.. =============================== Hare Krsna! Esteemed Professor It is 9.05PM in Santiago, Chile. We have a dangerous headache. We traveled 17-hours from Nashville, Tennessee, our base, through Houston, Texas to arrive in Lima, Peru at 11.30PM. We tried to call your esteemed self with our last moments in the USA but your cellular didn't respond. Then, we were been traveling, meeting with Director of National Library, Head of National Psychiatric Society et al for two days in Lima, then all last night in the airplane to arrive here in Santiago. Here we had no access to internet until five minutes ago, so first we looked for any letters from your good self, then began to write your humble news. I think that is as much as we should do for now, no? We will still try to call, and write more. According to our understanding you will not be near to your land-line for a few more days. Being able to write to your good self puts a very practical anchor on our traveling and so far things are going quite well for these efforts for NIOS. We are becoming more and more humble and just trying to let Krsna drive our chariot. Things have developed way beyond our means to control them in any great fashion. We will be here for a week, so will be a little rest as planned. We will be doing a program with the National Library here also. HpSwami "Even fleas have little fleas that bite them", Wm. Blake.

The Last Letter

9 years, 6 months ago by hps in DTC

2.58AM

We got up early and chanted one round and then started answering these letters. We will have several hours in the airport.  We still have to pack. Had an emergency visit from worried devotees yesterday.

That's the last letter we can answer for a while unless it is URGENT. Even then you should contact us through our local secretary if you can.

While traveling it is almost impossible to answer much mail. Devamrta Swami told us that was his conclusion also.   Staying here I have time for letters.  Traveling we get 5-individual consulatations a day [or more].

ASA - But you will be traveling now for three months.

HpS - Hmmm.  Well, we'll post more stuff here and we will answer Urgent letters.
O.K. Chant one more round, bath, puja, FMP! Pack. Leave by 7AM.
