5.30PM - Sunset in the Boro. Is a depressing [Tama-guna] time. Best to run to the altar, Chant Japa, Gayatri, then 24-minutes [one Danda] after sunset, Sandhya (Gaura (Sundara)) Arati. (With Dan Sing for Krsna).

We just answered letters up to 5-days ago. Should catch-up more tommorrow! No URGENT letters.

Today, Sunday, 22nd February, we feel back to normal. [Of course, normal for 67-year old American Ass is different than 35-year old Mumbai Ass].
Ice storms [40-degress F. below freezing] appear to be finished and the autos are moving normally 
outside our window on Medical Center Parkway.

We have had such comfortable three days at NGD Ashrama. Of course, that is also dangerous, a Sannyasi becomming attached to the comforts of family life.

Now we are alone with Monkey-Piggy, Prahlada, Hanuman, Japa-Beads, Lord Nrsmha-deva and you, but ... your future is bright... Gaura-arati and then some Sadhu-sanga by phone with Visnu-carana Das here and finally Krsna book and hot milk.

Drink Enough Water. Breath Enough Air (Kirtana).

Our Plans for Sankirtan (now that our Donkey and Village are habitable) are just the same:

1) Who am I?     What are our responsibilities to Srila Prabhupada?

2) Who are we? Who do we know who has some grasp of their own on #1 above? We talk to them and with them make ...

3) Plans, calendar etc.

4) Acquire tools, cars, dogs, pencils, nations...

Sadhu sanga, sadhu sanga, sarva sastre kaya,
Lavan matra, sadhu sanga, sarva siddhi hai!!

5.42PM, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA
Sunset is at 5.30PM, but you sure can't see it. It has been so cold here that we can't even drive over to NGD house. We went yesterday evening and it took us 10-minutes to get the ice off so we coulds open the door and start the motor, heater. Then another 20-minutes of breaking the rest of the ice off so we could drive.

It was dark.

It was quiet.

It was spooky!    Only a few other cars on the road and had to travel really, really slow on the icey roads. Today was about the same. Sun came out for some time and began to melt stuff. Tommorrow night it is supposed to be -20 degreed Farenheit, or -25 C!    Good, God!   What will happen then. At -30 C your spit freezes in the air and exposed flesh freezes in like 90-seconds.

Oooof.  Our little cave in the mobile home is stay warm with one electric heater and we got another in the bathroom. For cooking we have to put on shoes and a jacket and move rather fast. So far no water pipes have broken.

This is not normal. In Boston it is worse. Kill cows get killed.

Our body is still exhausted. We try to do light work but after 6-days our liver still seems 65% depleted. If we even think about eating p-nut butter we feel an intense pain in our waiste etc.

Our heart is happy. How about you.

Now we are just sleeping, but we did a lot of work today: 1-hour 40-minutes on Skype with Rama-giridhari Das. All very useful. Then 30-minutes with Abhirama Das, also super. Eduardo G. and his wife Gida have agreed to try writing a book together, alternating chapters. He was president of the psychiatric society of Peru etc.

Hare Krsna. We can't write this. Krsna gives fantastic suggestions.

15-minutes with everyone's old friend Visala Das. He's 77-tomorrow. Tonight is Siva-ratri. Gana-gamya Das left his body in Delhi. Has a great wife, son, was the chief designer for the Dehli animated museum. 15-minutes with Nandulal from Houston. 10-minutes with NGD and Abhiseka.

Now it is 5.55PM and the sky is closing in. The last cars scurry for the shelter of their garages, only about 10% of normal traffic by our front window today, no commercial traffic, NO AMBULANCES (usually about 14/day).

We read about Lal Bahudar Sastri, second Prime Minister of India, after Nehru and Miguel Cervantes. Of a recent survey of world classical literature by about 75-writers/scholars from 54 countries the Ramayan and Mahabharata were in the top one. They listed them alphabetically by author without rating any as 25th, 26th, 27th etc. but they did note that Don Quixote got 50% more votes than any other book on the list.

Take a look at the winners to see why they win. Use their success for Nanda-gopal and all of his little friends.

We also reviewes Monkey/Piggy's Trash writings from 1,000 - 10,000. They seemed quite amazing.

Monkey / Piggy - HpS, you a work'n fool!!!!!   You call this light work????

O.K. 6.02, then letter is off just for you? How is Laksmana, Candra-munkhi's in Spain? Dandva and Jayanta were in Mangala arati, gave great pleasure to our briain. Jagad Guru, BVD + Sananda, Mitravinda and more. To quote Carl Jung, the psychologist has to be very careful of all the emotional dependence and adoration of his patients. He has to be who he is. An instrument of the Real Doctor. We worse devotees than any of our readers and by your mercy we can contribute a little bit to Srila Prabhupada's movement.

AGTSP!   Paoho & Bw...
Oink!   Whoop!   Back in the United Snakes of America, our home. We are sitting in Tandavika/Musa's ashrama in Franklin, Tennessee. Outside some snow flakes are falling. Our 67 year old body is O.K. energy is low from the 22-hours travel and all the Sankirtan work before we left Peru and South America.

Now we have to get a local rhythm.

We will go to Murfreesboro on Friday. Full morning program (FMP) on line daily at Start Meeting. Hawaii class tommorrow.

First priority seems to be making a proposal to Eduardo Gastelumendi to write a book together (with Monkey and Piggy) and some others, publish it by July and then have a big symposium based around the result at the Peruvian National Library for two weeks in August.

O.K?

We will be in Tennessee until the day after Gaura-purnima. Then we go to Texas.

Back to Lima

AGTSP paoho We just wrote this on Skype to Ramagiridhari Das (RGD), Executive Secretary of Ministry of Education (MOE):

108AM. Public Session of Congress is over. It was Hell Past Human Imagination. Actually, not figuratively, we were about three inches away from a brain stroke. Got a 10,000% super Regional Representative for you. From him, us, everything else can develop.
Today post congress meetings with Big Educators. Eg. Aravinda Das. His College, Sankirtan Parties, distribute about 250,000 books a year.
We'll post this to the ASA Blog now.

12.33PM

We are still in Santiago Sankirtan with Yugala and Candramukhi et al. Very busy schedule! We just posted our updated Canto Six Essays that include our CSG suggestions up to Chapter 11 at our website

Look in the Archives.

It should be:

www.jayarama.us/archives/bhvai-sb6-essays.docx

Who are we???  When we follow the ISKCON Sadana, daily schedule, we feel safe, but sometimes we deviate to 1) Satisfy our demonic tendencies (p-nut butter and jelly) and 2) To try to engage in a higher ISKCON Sadhana.

Well, today we are following pretty strict. We do get so tired during the morning program (after getting up at 1.15AM), that we usually take a nap during this time after our rounds are done and we have some good reading. Really we feel we should do this BhVai work before Break-fast and nap after, but usually it gets reversed. Oh, well guess we still don't have lotus feet. Maybe potatoe flower feet.

Everything seems to be on schedule.

Today we got our BhVai work up to schedule and tomorrow we can focus on the Congress.
