Dear Gurudeva

First of all, I hope your health and activities are great.

This report is brief,I chant my 16 rounds daily, have improved enough, I'm with more enthusiasm and that makes me happy<img alt="blush" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/embarrassed_smile.png" title="blush" width="23" />.  keep my four regulative principles, and I'm just reading the Krsnabook at night<img alt="frown" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/confused_smile.png" title="frown" width="23" />. Also, I wanted to thank you for your lovely visit to our temple, hear your classes and have your valuable association, is very nice and very inspiring to follow in the spiritual life.<img alt="yes" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_up.png" title="yes" width="23" /><img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

I also apologize for not being able to participate in Congress, and have not been to the end of your visit, and I had a scheduled trip.
Thanks again to cultivate our minds in a good way, to me you are my guide and an example to follow, unfortunately I can hardly able to ask questions for you, I think my shyness in this life that something that plays against me and is with something I have to deal daily in some situations<img alt="blush" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/embarrassed_smile.png" title="blush" width="23" /><img alt="crying" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/cry_smile.png" title="crying" width="23" />. But I'm happy to hear your answers to questions of spiritual brothers and well wishers. I will work my shyness, and pray to Krishna to improve increase over time, sometimes it makes me lose great opportunities.

Thanks for your time and sorry for my bad english, again please accept my obeisances at your feet.

your eternal servant

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. Thank you for your letter. Thank you for your association!  Too much shyness may be from having been stomped on in a previous life or our childhood, no? Then we are quite naturally cautious of bringing ourself or our resources into exposure of damage. Of course, as we see we are servants of Krsna, working for Him only, and he protects His servants, then we become confident!

More news!

Well, answered a lot of letters. Sun was out today. Took a lot of time to sort out the accounting and letters and gift packages from the trip to South America etc. Then we drove to the post office. All the world was out just like us after the ice and snow. 95% successful at the post office. Lette off to the Personal Secretary of the Prime Minister of India.

Dr. Samaresh had a problem printing the Museum Book. One page with pictures came our distorted. Abhi said he had the same problem in Peru.

Nice Spanish Bhakti Vaibhava class today. We have changed to Monday 7-8AM and will post the link to the recorded discussion.

Now at NGD's ashrama. 8.02PM. -3degrees C. outside. Will send StartMeeting link do little Bhajan for Radha Natabara and have some Prasada with Prabhuji and back to  our cave.

Is a little depressing and lonely at times, but that is NOI 7.

Several phone calls for MOE, individuals. Calendar.

Hari Bolo!!!

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.

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
