Letters to the editor

     A G T S P !   (((paoho))).                Well....  here we are in the Sannyasi Hilton in Nila-Madhava Dhama in Houston. The accomodations are so opulent, but also have a practical aspect. Up for Japa Joes, little nap, then to the airport at 8.30AM. By mistake checked in our Japa beads...                  Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!   So we had to chant our our fingers and note down our ronds on a piece of paper. Was slow but we were chanting chanting, cchaninting.      Flight was at 2PM so we had from 9.00AM to 2PM in the Nashville airport then 2-hour flight then one hour to get to the Temple thenn... and now we are writing to you.

The swelling in our foot is less??!   Maybe Laksmana's health in improving?

.....   Nitai-gaurasundara Das just called. He is such a nice person. He is really a doctor. He cares about the health and well-being of several sannyasis. Its nice after a trip like this for someone you know just to call and see that everything is O.K. Maybe it is Krsna who inspires these things. Maybe He is very sad that we are not in the little village of Nanda in the big big forest of Vrndavana with Him?

Now is 6.41PM.

We showed the Mini-mala kits to Tiger, the son of devotees who picked us up. He took one. 

WE MISSED THE LIMA CLASS AT 10AM today. We feel so bad. We could have called on the telefone from the airport but we forgot in all the rush of checking in!!  And Mother Yugala nor LAD nor Jagat didn't call us either...   HmmmF.  It is because of the sincere devotion of those three, Candra mukhi and others that this BhVai is going on in Peru.

O.K. Let's go to the Arati and see what books are there to read.

When we got our beads back it was such a relief!!!!

OINK!   Govinda!   Gracias as Srila Prabhupada!!!!!   Gracias!
             How are you all!              We are surviving and advancing at the root and the toot of the floot!
             We Finished, Japa Joe and still have many rounds to go (to 35/day), but Letters to the Editor seemed to fit in.

        Now we must do Sri Sri Nara-simha Deva's Puja.  He lives in our Bead Bag with out Japa Beads but then  -E-x-p-a-n-d-s-  Himself to sit o\n the Desk.

             Letters answered to 5-days ago. That is tranquil standard for our mind. Better is three days. One or two days is too fast.

              We investigated "Social Networks", Face Buk, Google, Twitter, for Sankirtan yesterday. Lacking a lot. This Blog has many advantages. What you think? Other better? We are just supposed to focus on writing, writing environment.
 

OINK!    Oink!    HOnk! HOnkkk!  HOnk!..

<var>A G T S P !   (paoho)))       Here we are in ASA-Murfreesboro Ashrama. 5.12AM.</var>

<var>HOw are you?     Hari Hari Har <img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/36.gif" title="" />   <img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/37.gif" title="" /><img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/38.gif" title="" /> <img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/39.gif" title="" /></var>

           Hari!
                           Hari!               hARI   BOlo.. !        The Friday program here is devastating.  It starts too late. Then we feel obligated to give at least a 30-minute Gita class, at least, then we had quick $$$ and other meetings, then get back to Ashrama, recover from all the generous Sankirtan, then take rest (about 11.47...), then so exhausted we don't even hear our alarm m  m    m          m m mm !        <{{(OINK!)}}<<<<          Yet, here we are, and you can't beat associating with devotees, but we have to learn to advance to a higher platform: Not just chant, but chant constantly, with clear pronunciation, with depth, with meaning!
[Meaning comes from books.]     Take a  deep, deep look, into the perfect, perfect, KRSNA Book!
                  </var>

<var>O>K>    Center of our life is Prabhupada   [ ....o  o.... ]   his lotus feet and toes.</var>
If nature gives us hurricanes,
Or front-yard roses grows.     Our monkey sits there chanting. That's all that he e'er knows.   See you in a bit.      Puja now for Nrsmha in this hour fits >>>----->

paoho

It's 6.53PM here in ISKCON (ASA) Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Darker than the inside of a goat outside. Fall has come very quickly in the past few days. It's very depressing because we are alone without another human, what to speak of spiritual, being insight, just the lights of cars passing on the main road and the Sushi Barn and Gas station.

Our memory doesn't always enliven us because we do a lot of little things everyday on different projects, so sometimes it seems that we aren't doing anything for Srila Prabhupada. When we stop and make a list it seems that we are doing something. Of course it is nothing like the really great devotees in ISKCON, but we are aspiring to make a real, unique contribution still.

Hare Krsna.

Our regular Sadhana will save us.

Now we will stop for Gayatri.  Ommmm....

We caught up with the mail to one week ago. We almost caught up with our BhVai reading. Is very very nice chapter, INstructions OF MAharama PRthu. Really it seems like more than one week to go through it and to really appreciate the purports and content would take at least a month of daily classes. Prabhupada especially noted this chapter out of all of our literature for understanding political science.

O.K. Gayatri: At 7.15PM we go with Nitai-gaurasundara and Mataji and maybe Abhiseka to Visnu carana Das' parents house for some evening program. We made very satisfying offerings to Lord Nrsmha deva today. We are learning to prepare the Bhoga better.

Bh. Daniel came by and bought $38 of books.  We talked with Laksmana agra Ja by telefone in Peru for 20-minutes. We listened to M. Urmilla DD's Hawaii class and did our own powerpoint show for tommorrow. It is in the Archives as sb 1.8.45.

Hari Bolo!!!  Now we shall merge into the Mystical Mantras, and have nice Kirtan at VCD parents house w/ NGD MMD and Abhiseka and Syama gopal Das and his wife. They are millionaires I think. Of course Krsna is a $1,000000000000000000000... aire.

AGTSP!
paoho.  6.03PM.  We answered some letters but still have letters from one week and one day old to work on. We could be better devotees, more efficient, but we are really doing pretty well. We just have a lot of work to do.
We are becoming always more concentrated.
O.K. Now we drive in Rtadhvaja Swami's mother's car to Nitai-gaurasundara Das home. It is about 12-minutes from here, but we will stop at K-Mart (nice name, no?) and buy a few supplys. Then we will go for his regular walk, 45-minutes.
Read the KRSNA book and come back.
We wanted to answer more letters.
Post our ABC notes and read our BhVai verses.

Hmmm..
 

ABC
We are still with the BhVai classes Saturday in English and Tuesday in Spanish on Startmeeting.com.

Friday at 11.30AM is the Hawaii class. Google ISKCON Hawaii.

Daily 1.30-3.30 AM is Japa Joe.

Some other stuff going on with Japa-sankirtan and we are plannng to do a formal reading of Tamal Krsna Goswami's book from Oxford or Cambridge Press. You can get it at Amazon. That will be part of our Carl Jung work.

Join us, get a copy. It's called "A Living Theology of Krsna Bhakti".
