Srila Prabhupada! Paoh..o'......
Here we are in Tennessee 4.52 or 3. The sun has set. The letters sent. You can see all the news in those comments. Now we go to Radha Natabata's Ashrama, and always sing the Hare Krsna, song! With all of It's Friends
A G T S P !
Paoho..... and Best Washes!
Here we are in our Tennessee cave. It is dark and freezing outside. Out stomach aches, and Tommy the Tooth is moaning a little. Probably he will get extracted tommorrow by Dr. Patel.
We caught up a little on the mail. All but 12 letters answered. Like some left from 1 week five daze ago.
We take enough rest. Try to have fun with our friends: Hanuman, Piggy, HpS, Prahlada, Nrsmha-deva and of course, Srila Prabhupada.
Today mostly we have sunflower seed prasada, celery, milk and some of Mother Visnu priya's bread!
NGD just called, he is home from the Mental Hospital, so we will put on extra heavy clothes and drive over ot his ashrama and go for a 45-minute walk in the sub-freezing weather.
Cente of today, besides the mail, Hawaii, class listening, was progress in Carl Jung work. We read the article by Vincente Maurie that Harsh got for us. It was good but the real profit was that that led us to a series of lectures that Jung gave on Kundalini yoga, and that led us to a book by Sonu Shamdasani and Philemon Foundation. We bought the electronic copy from Amazon and have already finished chaper one. It is great. So much information. Actually so many people are already doing East West psychology, but not any mention of Srila Prabhupada, Hmmmm?
I wonder if in the ultimate issue 90% of the people get rejected because of the 4-principles?????
I think the basic thing is that the comfort of sex, feeling protected from death, is an illusion. Sex actually kills you unless it is for Krsna. What's the opposite choice? To get intimate service to Krsna. To see how all this world is working under His minute attention. He is adjusting at every moment to get people to higher conscisousness. So we gotta keep in touch by chanting.
O.K. Here we go through the snow!!!
See you at Mangala arati.
AGTSP paoho.
Back from Chicago. Such concentrated programs: Two universities, one Nunnery, two Bh. Vrksas, two SB classes, One Sunday Feast Lecture, Two Iniations..
Tooth ache under control. Meet Dentist Thursday.
We are catching up on the mail!
A G T S P ! Paoho/bw.... It was a typical miserable day in hell. We sit in our warm cabin on the good ship Lollipop looking out the one tiny porthole, with no air, onto a scene of diminishing sunlight, adventing automobile lights, cheap liquor stores, pawn shops, nice corner markets, Walgreens Drug store and little snow in the air.
Brother Ass and Tommy the Tooth are a little better. Seems the simple anti-biotics have had quick effect.
Today was the ISV, BhVai class and individual conversations with a few devotees. Now we head to a Bh. Vrksa program West of Chicago Central by about one hour. Tomorrow initiations and Sunday Love Feast! What more can we do. We are putting our grain of sand into the bridge but the magic will be done by Sri Krsna!!!!!

We just answered all the Yahoo mail.
Now lets rummage through the Blog letters.
We hope we find Mother Sita tonight!

paoho. Here we are in our assigned cave in Lunt Street in Kishor-Kishori's palace in Chicago. Outside there are snow flakes in the air. It is dark and cloudy. We are in the city with Pawn Shops, Anti-Ugly Shops, Check-Cashing Shops, small Markets, and a Dentist.
Karuna Nidhi Das from Madras volunteered to take us to the dentist and pay all the expenses. Was only $30 for the Dentist and $18.09 for the anti-bioitic. We almost froze to death on the walk to Walgreens after the visit to the Dentist. He was across the street. He x-rayed us and it is as suspected for Bhakta Tommy. He stood out from his fellow teeth as a kind of dark color and surrounded by a little trim of blood. "You have a severe gum disease and the only thing I can do is to pull your tooth, or give you a prescription for an anti-biotic and pain killer and then you can see you Dentist when you get back home."
So, we opted for the #2-treatment without the pain killers, and here we are back in the Temple.
Another body part back to Godhead!
Today:
When we were out walking two people said, "Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna....". Several more must have thought about Krsna when they saw us.
O.K. We got 17-nice rounds done. Of course, Brother as is weak but happppy. Now little Letters, Rest and Bh. Vrksa, no?
Even a dog can take part and dance in ecstacy!
Remstadh the Arab lived in a house by the sea.
He worked in the town called Bar-lay-lee-ya, and sold bananas and tea.
Ginger and anise were among the teas he ground thrice, no caffeine in the powders he sold.
Each day to the Temple the worship was simple, with music and dancing galore.
The mercy of Gaura-Nitai filled their hymns and their capers; and the
storys of Kaviraja Goswami quelled their minds.
KRSNA IS WAITING FOR US TO HURRY UP AND BECOME CLEAN SO WE CAN JOIN THE NEXT PROJECT HE HAS IN MIND.
VAIKUNTHA IS LIKE A DISNEYLAND ONLY 7% COMPLETED.
