Letters to the editor

4.32PM

Hare Krsna. AGTSP. paoho & Bw.   We are rather tired! Today is Srila Prabhupada's 'tiro bhava mahotsava', Anniversary of his Disappearance. Oooof.

We finished, bought ink, scanned the Tpp -Cb/12 and 13. They are O.K. We feel we are like someone who is being asked by the Technicians, "Please say something into the mike". We started off with Composition books, but those were impossible to photo-copy. Then we went to 8-1/2 - 11 with spiral binding and international shipping. That was like $15/each to print and mail. It was very much worth it.

Now we are scanning them and writing them on colored paper and using a template. Again, Oooof!

Lots of technical work, but now this seems stable.

We can write them and archive them and then someone can put them into a Power Point show if they want to. We did it for this one. We had to Scan them, rotate them, crop them, size them, stick them and compress them.
It's in the Archives, under tpp-cb, then cb-13.

What do you think?

Also, we tried to get to the Jung Journals on-line today and they want like $35 to download one article. It is not cheap being crazy. We got some access, and so we are going forward. Our feet are pretty swollen. Got a headache. Went for a long bike ride to go shopping. Heard Puskara Das' class from Hawaii. Sitting with you!
4.42PM. Talked with Lakmana Das in Peru for 1-hour.

Will go to NGD's home at about 6.30PM.

Best to put the feet in the air now and rest, no?
With all these other tasks reduced we can focus on the content of the Tpp-Cb's now.

AGTSP!   Paoho....   We have answered all but 18-letters. Some a rather old, but we have a better rhythm now. The Semester Review power point show and the Friday, Tomorrow, Hawaii Power point shows, and class preparations required a lot of work.
We have headache.
Krsna keeps arranging for us to meet people.

Today we called Bh. Richard and Ananta-rupa Das in Boise, the Director of Religions for Peace, Gayatrai Das a very, very old preacher and devotee here, with big business work, etc.

Now it is sunset. It feels like it is taking our life out of our body.

Got a headache from computer work so no more letters today, no?

-=-=-=-=-=-====== >

Cars rush by just in front of our window, let's count: 25-in one minute.

We finished Tpp-Cb/11 today. Then we scanned it for the first time. It was not too hard and the size of the files is good. They don't look as nice as when printed, but we can start to adjust how we produce them with this soft-copy publication in mind.

O.K. Quick bath and off to NgD's house for out evening walk. Download Journey to the West Episode 12 (?), Damodara astaka, discuss NIOS work, lectures on the internet that he is seeing, and read from Mukunda Maharaja's recollections!

Oh, Tamohara Prabhu wrote back thanking us for our report but said that he had no time for more detailed answer because the GBC meetings in Tirupati were starting.

Thank you!!!

AGTSP/ Paoho.   We have a headache, eye ache, posterior sore from sitting. <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> We are a wreck!

Our body is a wreck! O.K. Enough. We have been working and typing since 1.15 AM. Now it's 3.54PM. Time to do some Karma-yoga!!

AGTSP

paoho

We have a letter from Dandava Das from Madrid about initiations that would not go. We will try again. We started reading and respoinding to the intense dialog in the Latin American Regional GBC Body about Kesava Swami's in volvement with ISKCON. There are dozens of contributions!

It takes so much of our time, but if we are on the commission then we should do it.

Priorities.

We can't answer letters here! We didn't see any urgent.

We talked with some very nice devotees about their history of Vaisnavism in the West work. In general we worked pretty hard all day. We think we should do more, but we have to consider more and more that we are pretty degraded product of degraded Western culture.

O.K. Lets go to NGD home. 7.18 PM. Sunset one hour ago. Cold and dark outside with rain and some warning of possible tornadoes.

Jaya! Back to Godhead.

19 rounds done.!

It's been a DickeyDing-Dong Dynamic Day!
Nama om visnu padaya...  Krsna presthaya bhutale!!!!!!!!   AgtSP....  ....!.

     Two classes, offering peas-porridge, with milk after everything.

Nap. What do we do now?
 

Chant to Plan, and Plan to Chant.

We looked at the map. Found a strange park. Went there and drove around and found some more forest in which to play, near our cottage on the Hill.

Then to Good Will second hand store. It was busy, like a place of pilgrimage. Cloudy, cold. Everyone gone to Chicago.

We look-ed through the book titles for cartoon drawing examples etc. but no satisfaction. Very, very, very frustrated.

               ~Who are we? ? !!~

What can we do for Krsna of any significance!!!   Very frustrated.

Drown your sorry in Condensed Milk!

But we prayed, and prayed and prayed and got some c. milk, and realized that the real problem in the world is that there a no books to read that we like that will take us to Pure Goodness so that we can read the KRSNA book.

So [all of this with Lord Nrsmhadeva] offered the Condensed Milk, began honoring some Prasada and began to write.

The result is posted at:

www.jayarama.us/archives/brain-1.docx

Other things: Museum book, NIOS-Nashville, Radha-krsna Das essays, Letters to the Editor... we just haven't got the energy to do in one day! Two BhVai classes and full morning program is a lot of preaching for us. We need some insanity.

Oink! WHoop!

AGTSP
paoho. We only have 12-letters left to answer. Still some from one month ago.
We lived though the Celebrate Nashville Festival, and now we are headed to Vanderbilt University to read Journals on C. G. Jung.
We have a hell of a stomach ache.
Lot of work, but should be O.K. if we just breath lightly and keep to the root of our responsibilities.

See you this evening.

Kapi Dhvaja will go today.

Tpp-Cb 9 & 10 will be mailed today.

With the Gopas we will play today!!!!!!

Oink! Oink!   -   Whoop!  WHoop!  <img alt="angel" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angel_smile.png" title="angel" width="23" /> / <img alt="devil" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="23" />
