The Black Witch (Durga Devi) never sleeps:  "Ha! Ha! I gonna make you forget Krsna!"
(Of course, She is just playing that role for our benefit.)

But the White (Golden) Witch (Radha) sleeps even less!!!!
Thank, You Mataji. We are struggling so hard with our mind and senses. We hope to be very intelligent to use our lust for usefule purposes and get free from all lust.

What is the biggest room in the world?
The room for self-improvement.

Has been a pretty good Ekadasi. We are developing many nice habits. We maybe took a little bit too much banana prasadam a little bit to early. Letters answered to three days ago.

The DTC 16 parts 2/4 are in the JayaRama.us/archives. Look for the sub-folder "tpp-cb".

We pack to go to NGD's home.

Finished our Bhakti Vaibhava SB 6.4 CSG notes and will ship tommorrow to Upendra and Nama.

Nama updated the guru-tattva file in the Kapi Dhvaja.

AGTSP! Paoho & Bw!
Here we are on our desk by the window. We sit on top of the desk and our feet don't swell up. People think we are weird. You have your problems, we have ours. People think we are weird. People tell us that, "You know Hanumat Swami, at first I couldn't relate to you. I thought you were weird, but now I begin to see that you're weird, but it's kind of normal. Some people are weird, but they have a solid reason for it".

It's 4.36PM. The Sun just set behind the Shell Oil gas station and the cars are rushing and shushing on their way to get home. We feel bad. You probably feel bad too. Headache, tooth-ache, back-ache, stomach ache, low energy leading to depressive thoughts (eg. You are a loser. You have done nothing for anybody. You have nothing to show for your life!).

It's amazing how funny the mind can be.

Without Prabhupada, a bona-fide Guru, it's a fact that our lives would be useless. We get temporary satisfaction from watching football games with friends or going to the beach, but it is not like the intelligent understanding of what is worth getting in this current situation. We are half awake. Ooooooo!    So we don't know 100% what is the right thing to do, but we are right 1/2 (78%??) of the time, and that of course brings us to wake up more and more. Living in this material world is like driving Krsna to a party with Him in the front seat next to you in the rain. You have to be a little careful because of the rain and other drivers, but it doesn't require all your intelligence. Most of your attention is on the converstation that Krsna is having with Sridham.

Got a lot of work done, today. It was a lot of little stuff, so unless we tweet it all, it doesn't show up as much.
Eg.

• Worked on our SB PPTX for Friday.
• Scanned second 1/4 of Tpp-Cb16, and hope to post it tomorrow.
• Ironed our clothes (15 minutes daily).
• Read Shonu Shamdasini
• Researched Journey to the West in Spanish (See it on the Spanish Wikipedia. There is a Spanish version!)
• Talked with Tom and Dr. Samaresha and Aja and Sri Hari Das in India. . .

Now - 4.45PM. We will chant Gayatir sandhya and then drive over to Office Depot to see if they can give a free tune-up to our computer, go to Kroger's to buy milk and then to NGD's ashrama for walking and talking!

Hare Krsna!  Hare Krsna!

Thank you very much!!!! Distribute books!!!

             S P !     paoho..... 6.06PM. We usually answer the mail this time. Sundown is 4.30PM.  Our back and posterior ache from sitting. Our eyes are failing. We didn't have time for proper Gayatri. Ha!   Ha!   Hare!  But, we are doing pretty well. If we consider ourselves real mercy cases and that Krsna doesn't expect a lot from us and we try to do what tasks He wants first, first, then we are doing O.K.

So much tendency to enjoy devotional sevice, no? Enjoy Prasada as sense gratification, enjoy honor, especially from the opposite sex, enjoy our good image of ourselves as beautiful, artistic, sympathetic, strong . . . 

But how much are we enjoying being appreciated by KRSNA. He's a wonderful person!

Maya devi was very intoxicated, telling everybody, that Krsna liked Her, Aghasura demon!!!
"What a demon!  You've never done anything like that before!"

"Look, look! Krsna likes my demon!"
Is Krsna enjoying us? Is Krsna enjoying our death. Every moment is dying and nothing more. So, can we do it for Krsna? For His applause with His friends.
 

Mails caught up to three days ago.

Had long talk with Abhirama Das, Peru, after long time.
Also, telephone conference with Rama-giridhari Das and Peru and India and Spain translating team for the Kids Sanskrit manual.

Reviewed South America tickets, bought ticket for Florida back to Nashville on the 11th February.

[Keep smelling bananas in our room}   Which is bizaare?   Hmmmm!

O.K. Little more housekeeping.

We got up at Midnight. Got our rounds done etc. then about 3.30 AM we just COLLAPSED.  Ahhhh!  Our liver was just exhausted. Too much intellectual work. All the ketone-bodies [energy cells] finished. Now we are resting. Doing light work. Have Lord Nrsmha deva's and your association.

Priorities:::

Here we are in Murfree's Boro, the Hobbits, Habits and Half-mad men, drive their autos from end to end.
It's 4.34PM, the sun goes down and it gets dark all around the town.

At 5.30 Abhiseka will take us home, to Sri Sri Radha Natabara's own abode.
Evening program with 23, then we're on the road.

Off to Tandavika's where tommorrow we WON'T SEE YOU!

No, FMP, Mangala-arati on line tomorrow because we have MOE meeting with India, Australia and Europe at 4.30AM.

Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet are where we chant. The more chant we know just what to do.

Now we pack our baggage (Lord Nrsmha deva too), Gaura arati and zoom, zoom, zooooo!

Hari Bolo!

7.30PM.   NgD was sick, tired, from Dentist visit etc. So we are home alone tonight. In some ways it is very depressing. No, fallible soldiers. We have a little room, it is cold and dark outside, with rough automobile sounds and the dumpsters at the backs of the stores across the street as our only vista, but... we do have our solitude, nice little fire in our cabin. We chant for Lord Nrsmhadeva, Srila Prabhupada, all the assembled Vaisnavas, Radha-Krsna... Honor Prasadam ... have Monkey Warrior association and it is great. Very much preparation for non-corporal life.

Personal arrangement by Krsna for our advancement. He is training us all to be Acharyas, Vraja-basis.
 

Today we offered: One orange and 1-grapefruit for Lord's breakfast. Four baked potatoes with butter, almonds/walnuts and celery and some boiled carrots for His lunch,  and in the evening 1-apple and a cup of boiled milk with little sugar!

Did about an hour of BhVai, Canto 6.4, Chapter Study Guide reading and writing. Lot of progress reading "Jung and the Growth of Modern Psychology...".

Phone calls/counseling. Scanned Tpp-Cb/16.1-24 and experimented with the format.

                       FULL DAY -}}-----}

Now lets call our local devotees about the kid's drama for our monthly Sunday Festival.

Sri Krsna Sankirtan, Ki Jai!
