Letters to the editor

AGTSP
(paoho)  Friday - 27th, 5.53PM.   We just finished the Yahoo mail and now we have to go to NGD ashrama for internet meeting with our BhVai partner, Upendra Das. Canto Four, Maharaja Prthu's Horse Sacrifice.

We just could not get to the Blog mail for three days now!  We have letters from 1 week 6 days ago.

We doing a lot of work for this Nashville Rathayatra. Happens once a year. Think we will catch up on the mail. We looked for any letters with 'URGENT' in the Subject field and didn't see any. Feet still rather swollen. Maybe is sympathy for Laksmana agraja Das.

O.K. See you in a few moments.

10.30AM:    We pushed and pushed and  p u s h e d   yesterday but could not get to our Letters or DTC here.     So, we're catching up now.

1) We did a Japa-Flyer for the Japa Booth.  That will be at the Celebrate Nashville Festival (5th October). We've posted it at:  www.jayarama.us/archives/japa-flyer-c.docx

The 18-bead Japa malas came from Astasakhi DD and the devotees in Mexico. They are great.    Now we have to make up a little Booklet on Japa to go in the packet with the beads and small pack of incense and a mini-DVD!

JAPA - KIT!!!

2) We are getting our work pace down to a sane level. We thought that we were just cheaters and that we just had to punish our body and mind and work harder. From the last Kapi-dhvaja we can see that this is not a fact. We are trying to do toO much. We have to reduce our work, adjust our work, change pace of work. This of course means adjusting our relationships with the people we are working with.

In the last KDh we have a nice analysis of that.

We hope this helps you in your life also.

Hare Krsna,   Hare Krsna!

O.K.   [Om Kesavaya-namah]   -     We burned a DVD of M. Jambavati DD's  Sankirtan stories and now we have to investigate sending it by DHL to Mexico. Also we will go to the Party Store to look for bags and the banner place to see about making a banner for the Japa Booth.

3) We have to do our accounting for ASA, especially the accounts for ASA/NIOS for the past few months. On Friday we will give all this to Sriman Abhaya Naranyan who is doing the bookkeepping for NIOS .

Enough work for one day, no?

We have 21 rounds done. Nice Bhakti-vaibhava study. Great Japa Joe workshop this morning. Robust breakfast. A nap.

O.K.  Here we go>>>>>          ....Hang on.  Always take some books with you in case you meet somebody to take them.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.

           Tommorrow we will turn to the Flyers for the Japa Booth for the Celebrate Nashville festival on the 5th. Later we will develop that into a small booklet that will go into a Japa Kit that will also include the 18-bead Malas coming from Asta sakhi DD and the devotees in Mexico.

Sankirtan!!!

          AGTSP.    paoho.   Well, Annual Symposium finished.  Was so much work, Really too much work, but very, very productive.    We are over endeavoring less and less.

We answered all the letters to 1 week and 18 hours ago.

We will publish the Kapi Dhvaja today and put all the news there.  Thank you!!!!!    Thank you Prahlada Nrs Das for this Blog, vedabase.com.  Thank you Caitanya and Subhra Prabhus for our phone... so so many!!!!!!!

TBrown.  B. White et al!!!

   A G T S P !   (((paoho)))     TB/BW here!      Oooooof!   We are exhausted.  Never again.  We have to focus on writing.  These big, big fesivals and such are so useful, but they are not for us now...   Everybody has different Dharma. 

        "One should not imitate another’s duty. A man who is by nature attracted to the kind of work done by śūdras should not artificially claim to be a brāhmaṇa, although he may have been born into a brāhmaṇa family. " BG 18.47

In the talks with Raghunatha Das Goswami, Lord Caitanya identifies the Dharma of a Sannyasi. Our life and soul is, through following the instructions of Srila Prabhupada, as found in his transcendental books,  keeping company with Krsna as He herds the transcendental Surabhi cows in the forest of Vrndavan.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare.... __ 0'_____        We crashed from 7.45-11.15PM!      Rest... now lets chant some Japa.  See you soon.  We live with you in this Diary of a Teacher Creature (DTC) and this Blog.

11.30PM ..... .

Image search.

11.54PM .   Hari Bolo...
