paoho

Wonderful day. 1, 2, 3. Went to Office Max (OM). The paper and labels we wanted were on sale. Came back and got the label printed for the Philemon Foundation letter. One part of the software didn't work but after some effort we were able to use a second class trick and surpass it.

That is this world, no? Dukalayam asasvatam.  A place that Krsna guarantees will not work! We can never be happy here. We are perfectionists!

Then off to Wall Mart, looking for supplys, potatoes, saws.  Good visit. Three employees all wished we a "Good-day" as we went out. It is their job. No one said, Hare Krsna, or Halleluja, or even Merry Christmas. Ha!  Ha!  Ha!       We are going to Hell in a hand-basket.

Ooof!!  We wanto to be better tools for Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan.

Off to the Post Office. Vyasapuja gift for Satsvarupa Das Goswami. Letter to our Purnima Puppet Theater leader, Lokanatha Das, Philemon letter.

Back to cook lunch for Lord Nrsmha.

First boil the split peas and channa dhal. Then add the Oat meal. Then we saved two very old Banananas from NGD ashrama and blended them with some water and put them in the Kitri. Then some Carrots, ghee and boiled the whole thing for some time and offered it to Lord Nrsmha deva. It was a very, very, very nice offering!!!   Brahmacari food!

Read some more of Sonu Shamdasani's book on Jung and the "Making of Modern Psychology: Dream of a Science". It is significant that Srila Prabhupada wanted ISKCON accepted as a Science also.

Nap.

Letters to the Editor, Yahoo, and this Bloggggg. And now we take a quick bath and off to NGD's ashrama! For our 44-minute walk. Now 39 degrees Fahrentheit, 3 degrees Celsius.

Hare Krsna!!!!

Oink! Oink!

    WHoop!   Whoop!     E=Mass times the Speed of Light Squared!

A G T S P !   Paoho.
We have done 99.9997% nir-jala ekadasi today. (took water with our anti-biotic (for tooth infection remnants)).
Now, 5.09PM we are going to offer lots of water, milk and sugar to Lord Nrsmhadeva before He has a brain stroke.
We considered and dying is not so bad.

We have the NOI Afterwords disctated. I hope Ambarisa Das et al can illustrate them and then they can be transcibed for Radhika. Of course, we would like to do more work on them.

We also updated "Japa-joe" today at www.jayarama.us/archives/japa-joe.docx .

We also sent off a Regional Representative Job description to the Ministry for Saturday's meeting, and posted our updated bhvai-sb6-essays.docx file in the achives. It includes carefully selected questions for the Module Review.

Few nice phone calls!

Now is DARK outside and c-o-l-d. In few minutes we go to NGD's home for our walk and a little human association!

Tommorrow we mail the final version of the Philemon proposal and nice copy of Japa-joe to Satsvarupa Goswami for his Birthday anniversary.

What is left to do???   Work on the Chapter Study Guides, Afterwords to Cantos One and Two etc.

Any questions?
Let's go soon to Goloka.

Of course, we can also stay here as the Local Sankirtan develops. It will take a lot of work but there are some very clear avenues of Sankirtan here in Murfreesboro, but that would require help.

Today is Gita-Jayanti but I think our main celebration will be Friday at NGD's ashrama.
O.K.

Hare Krsna!!!!!
We just want to live with Krsna in the same village like we used to. All this big city stuff is useless!

                                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!
