paoho. Maybe we are 87% pure. Running like mad today. Whole world running.

Used siphon we got yesterday. Took gas out of lawnmower tank. Put papers under filter. Used wrench we bought last month to open it. Cleaned it. Prayed to Lord Balarama, He is a gardener, lawnmower started.

Was weak at first. Maybe had to clean out carburetor with fresh gas. Cut the lawn. Muscle happy and exhausted.

Big white car pulled up across the street and back window came down. Young man waving at us. I thought they were Mexican drug dealers. I couldn't hear him, for lawnmover. He came over, 25 years old. Captain Smitty, local police. He said, some people passing by on Medical Center Parkway called and thought you were a convict dressed like our convists, (orange pants and shirt) so we came to check it out. No problem. Your yard looks nice. WHy are you dressed tha way? We are monks. "Oh, Buddhist, I always wanted to ask about Buddhists."

15-more interesting things like that.

Have to go Now for evning walk.!

Little heart stress for all this work.

After the symposium we will not take any more adminstration work.

Now you have to do it.

We'll help, give advice.

Paoho...... It is a miracle that we are still alive. One boy came to Prabhupada and Prabhupada asked him how old he was, and he said, "17-years old Srila Prabhupada", and Prabhupada responded quite sincerely, "And still alive!".

It's a miracle.

There are so many ways to die.

Heart attacks.

Auto accident.

Suicide.

Poison spiders.

Old age.

Robbers. . . . We are doing our BhVai reading and our Friday Hawaii class. Then we try to work with the TPP-CBs. Everyone is in a panic for the Houston Education Programs. The Teacher Training started yesterday and our Seminar is getting closer.

Ohhhh!  We are not the controlers. We are petit-isvaras.

                 Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!!!!!

We look at Lord Nrsmhadeva and lament for disciples who have gone to hell. We lament for our godbrothers and older devotees who never seem to really have been able to get out of hell.

. . . . . ."Do good to those who hurt you". . . . 
. . . . . Avoid their mindless violence in the future.
. . . . . .You are not the target.

Hare Krsna! Krsna will help them! He will give them His Duryodhana Lila show. Was Duryodhana a senior devotee in ISKCON in another universe who aquired a tremendous number of pious credits, so he got to be Duryodhana in Krsna lila and even he make progress?

Queer thoughts of a demented ape.

Off to NGD Ashrama!

Oink! Oink!  WHoop!  WHooP.

Hotter than hell here but then monsoon rains come and it cools off and the entire cottage shakes to the foundation.

We did our BhVai, SB 5.14, Chapter Study Guide reviews and sent them to the other registered students.

Offered Lord Nrsmha Deva:
Cherrys for Mangala arati.

Fresh celery and almonds and cooked rice, zuccini and crooked-necked squash for lunch.

That's about it. Phone calls for the Education Symposium left and right. Little things with the bank etc.

Now NGD/Radha-Natabara's ashrama.

paoho

Maybe best Ekadasi in a long time. They are very difficult for us because of the heat and usually hard work. Our Buddy, body, starts to really suffer, so today, we just took Prasad as it required:

• Water and 500-ml orange juice.
• Milk
• Subji of Carrots, Celery, little Potatoe and Pnuts.

Now Brother Ass feels well. Day not finished. We almost always do the mail like 5.30PM.

Today is hot but many clouds. Forecast is for thunderstorms and maybe tornados.

We cut the grass today. It is Tuesday, Mars Day, so we figure is good day for cutting. It went very well but then Nephew Lawn Mower died. He is expansion of Brother Ass. Maybe he will recover after some rest. Is HARD but healthy work. Our arms and body ache afterwards. Like going to a gymnasium.

Then listened to Hawaii class while we ironed our clothes and did a PPTX for Friday, SB 2.7.13. Is Karma-yoga for us and we can do too much because our body and mind like it. Then we feel little disgusted because it was not really pure service. So, we try to keep off the Karma-yoga platform and on the Dhyana-yoga platform.

Now we did letters and next a quick bath and off to NGD for evening Sanga.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!!!!

AGTSP!

paoho.     Got two letters, answered three. Emergency run to the Office Supply store for TPP-CB paper etc. Went to the MTSU Campus Library but they don't have any of Dr. Samaresha's Journals on line. Have to go to Nashville.

Did a lot of work on our flyer for the street traffic that passes by our door. Really hope a lot of people can ge the mercy of Gauranga!

O.K. must run for our walk. Actually didn't stop for Japa after Japa Joe, so got 10 more rounds to go! Tommorrow Ekadasi. We will try to destroy of False Ego. 16-destructive rounds/day!
