🐵 🐒 - Tom Brown,

🐷 🐖 - Buck White,

🔬 - Uncle Gismo et al,

offering their obeisances to Srila Srila Prabhupada and asking His Divine Grace to serve in his Sankirtan, Lord Caitanya's Sankirtan.


Now the Sun is at 4.41 Post Meridian and has disappeared from our vision, but officially Sunset is 5.22PM here in Nila-madhava Dhama, ISKCON Houston.

We just finished 1.08 hours.minutes conversation with ArtDas about NIOS, ASA, and a little about management points in ISKCON Peru.


We have suggested to the NIOS Board of Directors that they Dissolve the Corporation unless at least five Directors swear on a pile of SP's BBT books one feet tall that they will do three things for NIOS every year:

  1. Have Annual Board of Directors Meeting to review actions of the Officers for the previous year and give direction to the Officers for the following year.
  2. Make annual filing to the Secretary of State of Tennessee for NIOS.
  3. Make annual filing with the federal, national, Internal Revenue Service.

Also, that H. H. Robinson is officially resigning from all formal management posts in NIOS on 2024 January 12, but will be fully available for any service in concordance with his capacity. Of course, mostly offering advice, perspective.


  • We have 15/16 rounds done.
  • We over-ate like 13% at breakfast, but was 25% yesterday!
  • We should send short notes to RKD, Bh. Guimo, check the rest of the WhatsApp mail (that's why we called the Thakur), and walk to The Temple about 5.30PM for Gayatri in front of Srila Prabhupada, Kirtan for Radha Nila-madhava, and take rest about 9PM.
  • Tomorrow or Monday we should be able to make some more contribution to the administrative situation in Peru with communications with Daru-krsna Das, Karuna-krsna Das and Mathuresa Das, posting some more of our perspective as Sannyasi here.

"The conclusion is that diplomacy used for the service of the Lord is a form of devotional service." (https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/12/44/)


Thank you.

'are krsna, mates!

paoho

brown and white here 🐵 🐷

Brother Ass 🏇 has moderate chest pains.

the sun 😎 is at 5.07PM Houston time. Just set. Room is getting dark.

We have done all the mail. Yahoo, Whatsapp, Blog up to 3-days old.

Posted our Notebook notes to our Calendar, DTC (CB) etc.

16-rounds done.

Was offered fruit platter, maha-prasad platter, peas porridge in the pot, and scavenged Raghunatha Das Goswami remnants... and ate a little too much.

Really need to chant KK HH more while we are collecting, eating, honoring Prasdam.


Can we make it to the Temple at 7PM?


Can we join Radha Natabara Sanga?


What projects are pending:

  1. NIOS Board of Directors, administration, is up to date. Thinking we should change to just on-call status January 12th.
  2. Peru administration with H. G. Daru-krsna Das, Nadiya/Milan/National Council seems to be going reasonably well. Waiting for some responses and comments.
  3. Houston Calendar O.K. Going to die, death is on the way. 😃

There are so many options for service!

"On the platform of love and affection, it is the duty of the devotee to do one thing first and other things later. The proper intuition by which to do this is given by Kṛṣṇa."

Maha mantra is to guide us out of Maya, but also to guide us in finding our position amongst all the alternatives in the spiritual world, no?


Hare Krsna!


Sannyasi is supposed to travel and report new places to the GBC for opening centers.

That also includes traveling in Newspapers, Media, Internet?

AgtSP!!

Brother Ass has a head ache!! Three hours catching up on political and family conflicts in ISKCON.

Very satisfying.

Now is dark.... outside. we will go to the Temple, only ten minute walk. Try to see Nila Madhava and Radharani and how we can serve Them.


Gave class this morning. Didn't know we were supposed to.

Mangala arati is always intense here. Vijaya Das and Radha-krsna Das are here!!


Like being in Vrndavana during Kartika.


Honored prasadam 70% properly.


Got 15-rounds done.


With help of Lord Nrsmhadeva hope to be of use to Srila Prabhupada!


Four pages of DTC/Composition Book written.


Just read the Kapi Dhvaja! It's pretty complete!!!


Letters up to one week old in the Blog! One from Govaradhana Das and Asta sakhi Devi Dasi, look pretty hot, but no one wrote URGENT so we will schedule them for tomorrow. Leave for arati now. Nine degrees Celsius outside.

Try to call Sri Hari Das after arati and join Sri Sri Radha Natabara Sanga tonight. Then read the KRSNA book and rest for a few hours!

Thank you!!

Hari Bolo!

Parque Pogo, Ki Jai!!

we have all the mail caught up.

our political and administrative responsibilities are 90% under control for Kali yuga. Which is to say they are 70.2% under control, because maximum political/institutional perfection in Kali yuga is 78%.

The other 22% depends on Sankirtan Yajna, Guru krpa.


We need to keep taking little sips of water, and after hot-milk with sugar and black pepper.


At 7PM is program with Jagad-pavitram Das, Isvari radha Devi Dasi et al.


  • Mrs. Desai cooked very nice:
  • Subji
  • Chapati
  • Rice
  • Pakora
  • Dahl
  • -
  • Puffed rice

For Lord Nrsmha Deva.

Honoring the Prasada was very satisfying to our heart!


All the Blog posts are 99% caught up.

The consolidation of 20-years of stuff here in the Ashrama is going well.


The only solution is Kirtaniya Sada Harih!


We sent the link for DTC(UT) India for Critic's Review to NIOS Board of Directors.


O.K. See you in Hari Kirtan!
