FMP!  -  14-rounds   -   2-3 - hours working on Chile +++  ticket.    Finally was great result. We can get two stopovers for 3-days total in Lima and then go out of Nashville direct and back to Houston.

We will probably be in Houston for a week or so then go to India (Spain). (Suggesting Chile, BsAs, Cordoba, Chile)

We've answered 7-Yahoo and 5-Blog letters.

TIRED...  But happy.

Going blind.  But feeling like it is best investment in our next body!

Now!!    Paint our Sankirtan post.   Sweep the grass cuttings.    Bath, Gayatri, read Lilamrta for tonight's class on Start Meeting with Ananta rupa Das in Boise (Srinivasa will send), 6.15-7.15.    Before that go to the University for some Sankirtan with Bk. Daniel and then to NGD's house from 7.30 - 9.00PM for regular Friday program.

Tommorrow is PdP on line at 8am. 3-hour kirtan at Dr. Desai's home. Then Spanish Sadhu Sanga at 7.30PM Start Meeting.

Hari Bolo!

Dogs Bark,

We answered letters!

From the King's of earth.

We listened to classes from Hawaii's berth.

Even if things are tough or lean, Lord Nrsmha Deva still needs Kitri and ​yogurt, once a day, and beer* in between.

Now we head for NGD's home for BG 11-12!  Be there or be square.

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama!

Sankirtana is our eternal songa.       Blog caught up to 3-days ago. No responses to our Calendar proposal except from Madhavendra Puri and Ambarisa Das in Argentina. So idea would be to take a round trip from SCL to EZE.

Our inguinal ligaments ache.   They always ache when we take too much sugar.  They like connect your lower abdomen to your upper legs.    Hmmm.    Not to much sugar.

Today we offered 2-bananas, pnut butter and strawberry jam and three pears to Lord Nrsmha Deva.

Had long talks with Sesa Das about Education in ISKCON, Bhakta Tom about Guru-tattva, banking, clean up Start Meeting storage, Daniel here in the Ashrama for about 1-hour, FMP, bought "From Good to Great" over the internet (they will ship), etc. etc.

Now paint our mail post and go to NGD ashrama for our walk and Sadhu-sanga.

Hare Krsna!!!!!!!  ! ! ! ! !       !!!!!!!     Sankirtan!!!!!!!!!!​

AGTSP!
....    !Paoho.....   HAre Krsna!!​    ........

6.00PM in Murfreesboro, Viernes.    Cars go by outside of our window, 30 feet away. I bet they are all in anxiety unless cookies have blurred their way.

Any man in the material world who has any perspective at all. Must be convinced that his future is dark, and his current happiness small.

Learn of the eternal delight, of Mangala arati of Shyama,

And the Evening arati of Gaura and Nityananda Rama.

In the beginning we must chant like work, but the wages are deep and prolonged. Later we wake up to the intricacies of our service for which we long.

=========

Mail is caught up to 3-days. We answer "Urgent" letters immediately.    Bhakta Daniel has been visiting us for two days. He  is only 22-years old and philosophically strong.   Goes to the campus daily and distributes books to the throng.

The weather is cold and raining, and so we have canceled our weekend parade, at the Celebrate Nashville shing-ding, and will go to Visnu-carana's house instead.

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.... All the plans come from Krsna.

--------------

Today we talked with Ananta rupa Das from Boise for 1/2 hour at least. Local news and Sastri studies, and sent pleas for help to Abhirama, Virabahu, Bh, Vijna Swmi, Harsh, Tamohara Das, Ambarisa Das.  World classical literature review was G. K. Chesterton's, "The Man Who Was Called Thursday", it is not worth reading. Little education in style.

....................

Tomorrow morning Pada-padma, Start Meeting at 8AM,

A   G​  T  S  P!     Paoho.     Anybody else experiencing problems writing in the Blog?   When we hit the Enter key, for example, it tosses us to the top of the page.   Hmmm?

Windows 10??      Well, its still a great way to communicate and reminds us of how much better is the tele-communication in Goloka, Moooo!

Caught up the mail to 4-daze ago.  Offered Lord Nrsmha deva p-nut butter and apples for breakfast, and orange juice and kitri (rice) for lunch.

All of our projects seem to be on time as long as we keep pushing. Our work is pioneering.

We are just comfort people for Srila Prabhupada. Specks of dust under his lotus feet in Vraja. Little sharp stones and rocks stimulating his feet. Humming: HKHKKKHHHRHRRRHHHKHKKKHHHRHRRRHHHK....

Don't trust Brother Ass anymore. This last Radhaastami all his pilots went insane.

Our morning reading of TLC before FMP is really nice. We keep learning little bits of new information and taking the old deeper and deeper to heart. Things we see there we want to look up in the original in the CC.

Doing original reseach and then reporting it to eager authorities. that is our Sankirtan, BBT study program.

AGTSP paoho...  Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!

Got mean headache. 5.48PM.     Don't know why. Also right, top, rear molar is sore when chewing. Vision is always fuzzy now at a distance; but it's Radha-ranis birthday!     It is good that the body falls apart. Then the parts can be reconstituted for new service to Krsna.

Fasted 'till noon and cooked regular Kitri for Radha for Krsna. Start Meeting program with CMDD and JGD. Tweeted the link.

I think Lord Nrsmhadeva helped cook.

Did our ASA accounts. Got a lot of cash. It will go to NIOS, belongs to NIOS, was donated for NIOS.​

Talked with Tandavika, NGD, Hari-lila, Visala and Radha-Krsna-ananda Das.

For NIOS, World Classical Literature, we have been reviewing Somerset Maugham. He was maybe the highest paid writer of all times.  Interesting. Taking gold from the mixed bag. "The Magician" couldn't hold our interest. The surgeon was such and idiot he couldn't recognize subtle forces.

"The Moon and Six Pence" was not a fit place for a B'cari so Uncle Gismo reviewed it with a filter. It is incredible work of art. There is meat, alcohol and sex, but in the middle of the mode of passion some idea of transcendence.  This is where many Westerners will find transcendence. Profound (but not as profound as KRSNA book).

"On a Chinese Screen" (all these are for free at www.gutenberg.org) was pretty pure. It was a collection of short observations that Somerset Maugham made while he was traveling in China and was thinking to make into larger stories later. They are an INCREDIBLE view of the British Raja and China. "The Philosopher" contains fantastic information about Chinese machine guns of the future and "Sights of the Town" is almost more than a human can tolerate. (See Isopanisad - 11).

If we are going to save the world we have to know what it is.

YouTube: "China vs USA / Empires at War. If political analysis is part of your service to the Sankirtan movement. China capable of sinking USA aircraft carriers, destroying USA survelance satellites, but there is also an academic report on the YouTube from an Australian University, as far as we can tell, that points out that to achieve the economic and military build up, China has had to thoroughly trash its environment (poor Bhumi!), and develop an economic debt greater than all the money in all the US Banks, etc. So, there is an expectation of negative growth in the future.

These are complicated things. Arjuna had to consider them in his service, but in general, we try to be aware of the Sankirtan environment at every level and follow the dictates of Guru and Krsna, and if there is a nuclear war then Prabhupada said, "Oh, how nice. Then we would not have all these headaches for preaching. We could just sit down and chant Hare Krsna".   Of course, after a little of that we would get good intelligence from Krsna, ISKCON, and get up and preach again.

Hare Krsna.  Clap your hands and chant.
 

6.20PM.  Near sun-down. We are alone in the city!     Mail. . .

. . . 7PM.    Hmmm!    40-minutes of letters.   No, physical contact with any human being today.  Last color is leaving the sky.   IS GETTING DARK  (somewhere in the distance a dog howled.  wuwwuuuuw!!)

All the mail answered up ​three days ago!   And even a few more recent.   Nice letters.   Thank you.

Headache is about the same.   Dangerous because can result in Brain Stroke.

Now, Gayatri and Sandhya arati and ....  more reading?  Hare Krsna!      Jaya, Radhe!   Oh, Radha, please engage us in Your service to Krsna and chase Your sister-in-law far, far away!!!

Is O.K?   Hawaii Class every Thursday. Morning and evening (English and Spanish), Saturday SB classes?   That's three basic classes per week?
