Letters to the editor

AGTSP

paoho

We have answered all the letters and especially the URGENT ones up to 6-days ago. Little slow. As soon as we catch up oin one area we fall behind in another.

Have to be more intelligent on how to follow all the principles of Sadhana Bhakti. Not stronger. More intelligent. Have to chant HK/HR more constantly.

Health is good. Work is on schedule. Tomorrow we have Skype at 6AM with Rama giridhari Das and M. Urmilla. We are daily in Japa Joe and at 5AM we get our class on NOI on English or make it up later in the day. We are doing Tweets. Friday is Ekadasi. Saturday is our Bhakti Vaibhava test. We are finishing our essays. Next is Jung!

AGTSP.  

paoho....  We are answering all the letters up to 4 days ago!!  Our fight is to get more and more tight schedule, with our new office. We are making plans for Texas in May, Pacific North West in July, and BhVai in Texas and San Jose in general.

The TPP Composition Books which are #1 are going well. We start the third one today. Only one devotee has asked for a copy yet. Maybe we are supposed to put them in our tomb and when it is opened up by archaeologists three years from now they will find them.

Japa Joe is a little different with no Start Meeting pictures or chat. We may change to Skype!

Here we are 8.39PM in NGD living room Abiseka, Manjari and Mataji are in other rooms. We feel little sick, but that is not surprising considering it is the material world. Seven out of the eleven BIG nails that hold the rain gutter on our roof have come loose from the wind. We found an old ladder in the garage, a hammer and climbed up and pounded two of them back in.

The second rose bush is about 90% dead, so after giving it two weeks of chance to come back we trimmed of the 90% and left the two per cent. With hard work and digging holes for our News Box we are getting good exercise. Then we only do so many hours a day of computer work for the eyes.

We also talked with Abhirama Das in Lima for 1/2-hour. It was so nice to talk with him after about two months. All the university programs are going ahead, but we are both getting a deeper foundation estabilished for our lives.

We did Bhakti vaibahva work with Sri Hari Das.

We are making an appointment to look at a free space in the Global Mall that an Indian friend is offering for a regular Sunday program here.

We are always doing TPP-Composition Book writing.

Then we

came to

NGD Ashrama

about 6PM

and did

some cor e spond dences. Especially we have been having a series of letter exchanges with Prahlada-nrsmha Das from the USA, Bhakta Phillip, after many months of no communication. He is continuing with his determination to distribute pre-1977 BBT books but our relation as Diksa guru is not working at all, so we are wishing him well and certainly accepting that we have not been perfect in the relationship and hoping to be a Vartmana-pradarsika Guru if we can and also hope to get his mercy if possible.

Ultimately Radharani is more powerful, clever, than Durga, and so the tendency is for us to return to Krsna, and as much as we can help things will speed up, and that's good for Krsna!

Letters caught up to 5-days ago. Now we start to work on the Annual Reports.

O.K. Hare Krsna!

See you in Cyber space, Heart Space.

Tomorrow Kapi Dhvaja!

                     S    Prabhupada! !    paoh ..o'.......       We are sitting at NGD dinning table. He is doing e-mail also. We just had some Gauranga potatoes. Ekadasi Prasadam. We have done 35-rounds. We feel like we are floating!  Hmmmmm!  Dizzy. Only raisins today.
Finished half of out BhVai Essays. The story of Prthu Maharaja. Hard to imagine, no? There really was a Satya yuga. There really was a Prthu Maharaja. We kind of have some kind of celestial consciousness at times, kind of now, and then we slip back into the gross, mechanical, plastic colors of the modern world. There are wild-flowers growing in our yard. First this color. Then that color. They grow like a carpet. So BEAUTIFUL. The world is trying to decorate herself with faerys, even in this Kali yuga. Krsna is trying  to bust through.

Now, KRSNA, Last Chapter. Dvaraka is greater than Mathura!!  It says.

Brother Ass has pains in his waist. It is 8.58PM at NGD home and we are alone in the living room on our individual lap-tops. Out letters are just about caught up. Only about 15 letters un-answered. Before it was 60!

Today we had to give our eyes a rest. I don't knnow if we can continue with BhVai and so much computer work. We have started to do gardening. We are right on a main street and a lot of people walk by so we are going to make a little garden space and put up a post to distribute so regular publications.
It seems there is a subculture of nice people here and we have to dig in.

So many preaching opportunities.

Constant Japa is not just to distinguish Yoga Maya from Maha Maya. It is also to distinguish which service we should do. Should we give milk to Krsna or save His milk on the stove!

We are putting regular posts on Twitter and a regular Class at 5AM on Start Meeting.

We are dying!  These Krsna conscious austerities are killing us. Japa every day. Mangala arati, letters, essays, plans, gardening. <img alt="smiley" height="24" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="24" /> <img alt="smiley" height="24" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="24" /> <img alt="smiley" height="24" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="24" /> <img alt="smiley" height="24" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="24" /> 

"The kingdom of God is for none but the completely dead"

Maybe we will die today!

Will we be well known after we are dead?

Bh. Vinode Thakura said that if you can do your service your whole life with no concern that anybody notices it, that is pure devotional service.

Today we trimmed the hedges, washed and ironed our clothes as usual. Offered an orange, yogurt, almonds, Mother Matsya's chile and Murari cow's milk and a bananana and some of M. Matsya's subji this evening to Lord Nrsmhadeva.

We did our power-point show for SB Hawaii for Friday and thought a lot about whether or not we are a cheating Swami and Guru.

We answered some secret letters from some crazy or super sane people and caught up the Blog letters to just one week ago except for about 5-letters left from India.

We went for our 44.5 minute walk with NGD as always and it was COLD and WINDY!

Did our first draft of our Vyasa puja offering after lots and lots of thought.

Next few days we have to finish our 15-pages of Bhakti-Vaibhava essays.

Really we can't do all this. Most of it is really being done by Krsna. He inspires our mind and intelligence and the work goes on!

Tommorrow is the anniversary of the Appearance Day of Lord Ramacandra. It can be the birth of a new level of spiritual life for us if we chose, use our intelligence, beg borrow or steal, but get ghee for Krsna.
