We are in Houston. We had three calls to/from India before 7AM today. FMP on line. Gave class to 50-teachers, very intelligent people who came on a tour organized by a sociologist from the University of Houston.

We have a headache. We could not answer too many letters. Some six days behind, but we are doing pretty well wit all the work here with Prana Das (MOE), Hari-lila Das (BhVai), ISKCON Houston.

O.K. Now we run to the Temple. Every evening we are giving classes for Third Canto.

4.22PM. Sky is overcast. Cars in their last few minutes of business work before Friday night begins. Then it is enjoyment in the mode of ignorance: Beer, Chicks and Weiners.

Pool, billards, mundane lusty movies.  .....  Ugh.  We are going to NGD house and have Kirtan with other devotees.

We want to become immortal and have full control over gravity, and be able to share our taste of KC with others in the most intimate sense.

We spend hours every day with Dr. Samaresh try to arrange for this book release in Delhi by the President of India. Krsna seems to want it and we are trying to help.

Sri Hari, Harsh . . . They are helping.
NGD is our President.
Also moving ahead slowy with End of July Conference.

As soon as we hear from Mexico we will buy the tickets for middle of July.

Calendar for West Coast is also lining. Up.

Only 5 more classes and our 4-year BhVai study is finished.

Har Krsna Hare Rama.

So far today 10-rounds, 2/3-gayatris, offered oranges, almonds, potatoes, spinach, celery, little oats, milk - yogurt, pears.

4.46 PM - Hare Krsna. All the mail answered up to 3 days ago.

We are starting to get news back about chances of getting our NIOS book released by the President of India while we are there - not so good, very short term notice . . . .   but . . . .    if Krsna wants it... O.K.

Having regular meetings with Area Directors for the July, Houston, Education Symposium. At least we can all just sit together and chant Hare Krsna. Krsna will give us inspiration how to advance toward the goal, Krsna prema, through the media of Lord Caitanya's Sankirtan, backed-up by basic principles of Varna Ashrama Dharma.

Which brings us to the principle of Sannyasis who see Kung Fu Panda movies.   Ohhhhh!   There destination becomes very doubtful. They certainly must not yet have lotus feet. Maybe apple feet.

Most modern literature is promoting conjugal relations between two Jivas as one of the principle, if not the principle, goals of life. Along with this is, "serve the people". Prabhupada says that uneducated spiritual masters take the mass of humanity as the object of worship. Ganesa means master of the people.

We had a very intense Bhakti vaibhava, Study Partner, meeting with Srinivasa Das today. We have a conversation every Friday at 7AM. Now it is SB 6.17. One of the most provocative, interesting, chapters so far.

Now we are headed to evening program at NGD home and then to Tandavika's ashrama afterwords. It's about 45-minutes to his home and then tomorrow we will come back to Murfreesboro for a 4-hour kirtan program, and stay here.

O.K. Lots more details, but that's the basic news.

Hari Bolo!!!

Oink! Oinnk!    AGTSP!!!    [[[paoho]]]>>>>>>>>>>    Whoop!  Whoop!

6.02PM the cars are all running home. NGD will call in about 15-minutes and we will ride the Grey Tornado over to his house for a walk. He has had about 5-house guests: Aunt, cousins, nephews. M. Matsya has been cooking like a fiend and Abhiseka has gone off for an interview for law school in Kentucky.
Manjari Singh is working and happy. Last night the college basketball finals were on.

NGD watches a LOT of current lectures by everyone over internet.

Today we were sending files and answering and making calls to India until we are exhausted, but that is nothing compared to the work that Dr. Samaresh is doing.

Maybe we will get this book released by the President of India. We need lots of help from Sri Hari, Aja, Harsh.
We 90% finished our BhVai 6.17 work. It is a very, very, very nice chapter. stimulates a lot of thought about what is Karma, who is responsible for our actions. Join us.

Hare Krsna! Hare Krsna!

We are watching a movie theater. We have to step back from the drama a little bit, but not too much or we can't preach.

AGTSP!!!!
paoho. & bw...
Here we are sitting on our desk. We can look right out at Medical Center Parkway about 6 meters from our windows. There are two lanes going both directions. It is a very rough sight, the back of a old mall with loading docks and dumpsters, but keeps us awake and doesn't attract us.

Little rain now. Was below freezing last night but Spring is here (BG 10.35). Many birds. One was investigating making her nest in our window sill. Many flowers and trees. Many seasonal anachromisms, extreme weather, deadly hail storms, lunar eclipses. Kali-yuga will get worse and worse. (Better and bette if you want impetous for material detachment).

FMP is going on. Every day about 8-12 devotees.  Spent 3-hours workinng with Dr. Samaresha from India on the letter to Shri Pranab Mukherjee, President of India. We want him to release our next NIOS book when we are in India.
Also, pushing the July 30-Aug2 Education Conference in Houston. Both are coming along well.
We can really see that we are weak tools and Krsna has to do most of the work. We are try to get better.

TODAY: We had our BhVai, on-line class with Yugala and Laksmana, and then talked with Tom Nagel from New Vrndavana, then drove Old Silver to the post office and Express Mailed a NIOS book for this India program, then stopped at Wal-Mart and bought another storage rack for the NIOS office here. Then watched one historical movie, cooked oat water  for Lord Nrsmha dev along with offering of fruit, milk nuts, then mail, mail, mail.

Caught up to three days ago.
O.K.   Pack up and go to NGD home. Maybe walk. Hare Krsna, Hare Rama!!!
