Letters to the editor

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!

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.

AGTSP!!!!!!    Paoh..o'......    4.49PM here. Getting  d a r k  and spooky outside. It is very easy to get depressed in this circumstance, but the cause of depression is so obvious, mostly the lack of sunlight, so cold outside we can't go for a walk, that we laugh at it.  Also, however, it is lack of association with Srila Prabhupada through one angle or another.

That's it, no?   That's the only real problem.

We were reading the Order and Rule and life of St. Benedict today. This led us to his preceptors and there is definitely cause for respect there.   From broad viewpoint though we see that Srila Prabhupada is able to deliver a very high level of religious life, not from speculation or dubious historical sources, but very clear and systematic. Everywhere all the saints and leaders are mentioning that these are all experiments, but from Prabhupada there is scientific knowledge. If you want good machines, go to Germany, if you want romance, go to France, if you want philosophy, relgion, yoga, mysticism, go to India.

Lot's of work today. Few letters you see. Getting ready for the Kapi-dhvaja. Many things left to do, but now we have to stop and ENJOY LIFE. Been in the cabin for two days now. Maybe we go through the dark in Rtadhvaja-Swami's-Mothers-Car to buy some milk at the SUPERMARKET on the way to NGD's home and have some stimulation while we chant a few rounds.

I asked a Manager at K-Mart, one of these big department stores, how many items they had. He said almost 1-million!

A G T S P !
Paoh ..o'......   Here we are in NGD Temple room above the garage. It is very nice. Radha Natabara are about four feet tall. We are a little mareado, naseaus, maybe because the time changed by one hour last night, we have gone from near freezing to very warm, to nearr freezing!

Ha! Ha!    Hare!  What do you expect. Brother Ass is only human.
Thank you for the nice letters. Arjuna asks what is knoweable, in the BG, and Krsna answers by describing the Supersoul. Everything else is changing. If we are doing something, Sankirtan, and it is not in a happy relation with the Supersoul then we will feel like it is building castles in the air.

Hari Bolo! Chant Hare Krsna and stay in touch with the Chariot Driver, no?!!!
O.K. 6.30PM. Time to go downstairs and see what is happening.
Talked with about 7-devotees about Sankirtan today on the telephone. Trying to contact Etasa about Chicago program.

We are happy when we can Chant Hare Krsna and Dance with Krsna!

AGTSP paoho & bw...
We are more mad than all of our readers except one.

It is 3.03PM in the afternoon, Friday the 31st of Ocrtober (Different than October).

We look out our window and it is just ten meters to Medical Center Parkway. Cars are going left and right, and right and left on four lanes. Beyond that is the parking plaza in the back of a lower middle income shopping mall that used to be a big place. The Sushi bar opens for lunch and dinner and the Lobster shop has been closed for three weeks.

It is 43 degrees Fahrenheit (9 degress Centigrade) and the dark, dark, rainey sky stands above like a demon. The wind is snapping and biting like an angry dog on his leash and the bright colored leaves of Autumn are being torn from the tree our yard by its force.

Nice people walk by holding their coats and the Karmis think of Friday night, steak and Red Johnny!

Hare Krsna!

We offered Lord Nrsmha-deva Oat-meal and Split green peas with carrots and celery for lunch; and a pot of milk blended with ripe bananas and walnuts and little mango-drink.

He seems to have survived it.

Brother Ass's feet and legs are about 35-55% swollen. We are working to keep him fit and trim to the very end.

We will go to Nitai-gaurasundara Das home at 7PM and there is regular program there. We all carry the load for the music and by that advance in our skills.
 

We have all the mail answered up to 4-days ago!
We took care of our India Visa!
We met Gary at the Boro Book Warehouse and maybe able to do programs there once a month to meet with all the Dudes that take books from our roadside basket in the future.
So, there are many nice programs. We seem to prioritize well, but now it's time to enjoy life or we will sure have a brain stroke and our donkey in a hole in the ground will tomorrow dwell.

~~~Jung. Santiago. Peru. Tarapota. Maimi. Dr. Samaresh, Rama-giridhari. Dandava. Jayanta (the leaves are bright oranges and go by in real waves >>>>>>!), formerly Francisco, Nanda Baba of BsAs, Japa-prati-jalpa, Radha dasi in England; Yadu Swami; Paramadvaiti Swami; Gorilla King Hanuman; ......

Hari Bolo and we will realize the ecstatic role Nitai-Gauranga have for us!
