Letters to the editor

AGTSP........ . . .   Paoho.. . . . .
A very nice devotee we have known, for many years, Ganga-mantri Das, has come to visit Nashville and really is looking to re-locate here. We had very nice discussions with him last night and this morning. He parked his van next to our mobile home and used the shower and we had morning program together.

Is hot here, 85% F. Puts pressure on us when we try to work but with the fan is not too bad.

Really getting settled after this tour. We did 14-citys in 5 weeks.

We checked in with Saranga thakura Das in Houston. Patrakito asked for details. We basically talked about the contacts that we made while traveling, devotees who wanted to start schools or who might be able to be North American Ministry Regional Respresentatives.

We also discussed the Calendar for January and February. Looks good for Rama-giridhari Das, Executive Secretary for Ministry, to visit Chile last week in January, first week in February. The essence of education is ecstacy and the essence of ecstacy is congregational chanting of the glories of the Lord.

Then we had to help move the tent for our 12-hour Kirtan and symposium for next weekend and were busting our brains to plan for the Celebrate Nashville Festival next month.

Finally, we mostly caught up on our essays for Canto Five for Bhakti-vaibhava. It is fun but our eyes just can't handle the computer anymore. Seems like we are more useful hearing things from people and giving our opinion over the phone.

Hare Krsna Hare Rama.

Our internet connection in the office is down but AT&T says they will have it working by Wednesday. Then we can use Start Meeting more for on-line Japa etc! We are doing this at Nitai-gaurasundara Das' home at 8.51PM. Every night we go for a walk in the same route. It always amazes me. It is like exactly 44.5 minutes every time! Amazing! Five minutes faster or five minutes slower???  No, exactly 44.5.

O.K. We answer one letter and then head to our cottage.

Oh! The TppCB8 is ready to ship. Anyone want a plain copy for reading and distribution?

Jaya Radhe!  Hare!

This is like the almost first human day we have had in six weeks! Got up at 3.12AM. Got 18-rounds done by 7AM and Mangala arati with M. Malini and Haladhara Das. 11.45AM turned the cooker on for the rice that M. Malini left.
10AM got a cool call from Koleveca Sridhara Das from India. Then there was a citation about KS in the BhVai chapter just three minutes later.
 

Did our BhVai work.
 

Did a lot of letters.
 

Honored Prasad 90% cool.

Now 5.05PM and in a few minutes we go to Santana and Gandharvika Das home for evening, BhVai, program, where they have a ten foot tall Tulasi that they grew from a seed!
Hare Krsna.

O.K. Some Japa, Tilak and we are off to see the Tulasi, the wonderful Tulasi of Oz.
We think about all of you often! When shall we meet? '0'

Last night there were about 200-devotees and our Brother, Ernest Robinson, in the Temple. Topic was Education in ISKCON and there were about $1,500 in donations for NIOS and the ASA.
Of course, we are low on energy, but what we have is pure and well running. No fever. We cannot drvie without glasses. Our hearing is little weak. He! Haw! He! Ha!

Made it to New Bihar-van, Boise, Idaho.
Had a ripping sore throat and fever starting yesterday when we left New Badarikashrama, Denver and today it blossomed!
 

Ooof.
 

We are trying to adjust Br. Asses load like all of you and then it is devotional service, so we can always be happy. We are unhappy when we to live without disease and death in this material world.

It it is a joke.

So today, four class programs that were essential. Mangala arati was so nice for our health - Dancing and chanting under our breath as Radhika lead.

HK/HR!

We finished 26-rounds yesterday which was a lot while traveling!
We have to adjust the Japa. Devamrta Swami does 25-while at home and only 16-while traveling. Of course the real thing is to chant all the time on or off beads but 16-good rounds minimum and we definetely want to adjust our other service so we can get 25-day.

O.K. . . . Feel like a car ran over Br. Ass but happy.
 

Candramukhi Devi Dasi had a fever on Tuesday. LAD said he answered our letter but we can't find it. Jagat and M. Yugala had great questions and comments for BhVai today.
 

5.22PM. A little Japa and then bath and 7PM our last program. Home program with about 45-Indian engineers et al.

We are winning!!!

We just answered like 14-letters. Took the day off from other academic effforts. Headache coming. <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

Enough, no?    Now we just rest a little and talk with the Lord in the Heart (as distinguished from the Lord in the Stomach). Today is Thursday. Ekadasi vrata. Hmmm. Nice.

O.K. Thank you so much for your association!

About 20-letters to answer. Tomorrow we go to Boise.

In the chaos of dying, what ideas do you want to hang on to?

That is all you can take with you, your understanding of things, memories. Hang on to a few of them?

HpS - ASA - Oooof!  AGTSP paoho. We feel horrible that we cannot be on a Japa Joe program. This North American tour and the Bhakti-vedanta College classes have made it so, so difficult. Seems that Twitter is our one way to inform people of what is happening with us! Yes, the cell phone volume is low at times.

We are discussing this itenarary:

January:

week 1 - Cordoba Camping with Parama padam Prabhu et al.

2- BsAs

3 - Mar de Plata

4 (& 1st Feb) - Chile

Feb rest in Peru - Ecuador - Bolivia. The main ISKCON Education Symposium would be in Chile then.

What do you think? NOw 3.54 AM we are squeezing in this letter before Mangala arati.
