Busy day, busy weekend. Letters to Rama-giridhari Das and Prana Das of Goloka Education. Letter to Dr. Bandopadhyay. Phone talk with Hari lila Das in Texas.

Sankirtan.

Our feet are less swollen.

Our eyes are not so bad.

We are adjusting how much and what kind of work we do as per the last Kapi Dhvaja.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.

         We looked and looked and looked (and LOOKED AND lOllOked) for the best tickets to South America and today we bought a ticket from Orbitz.com

25 December, Nashville to Miami (7-hours intransit in Miami airport). Then arrive Lima like 10PM.

29 January, Lima to Miami to Nashville.

$900.

Now we can look for Lan tickets from Lima to BsAs to Santiago to Lima. We have miles to use.   ...   Everyday we work on Bhakti Vaibhava studies and administration.

           Tonight we will start reading KRSNA book with Lokanatha Das from the very beginning!    Join us.

           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!!!

Thank you, Nicasio, "Cruz Santa", CMDD, Pablo....  todos, for your letters!  They inspire us!

          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 ..... .

  Up until past midnight and missed Japa Joe this morning.
That is the first time this fortnight (paksa).

We apologize.
Mangala-arati finished, now Japa/Plans (vidya-vadu-jivanam)...

Today is NIOS's
15th Annual Symposium on Cultivation of the Human Spirit.  

Cellular = 209  505-3219.

TB/BW et a

AGTSP   (paoho)....  Here we are in the NIOS/ASA Office.  We answered the letters up to 1 week and 18 hours ago.  We are struggling with all the work for this symposium tommorrow.  Harilila Das came, Braja-bihari Das is coming...

In the letters we wrote a loooooooong essay on evolution. We will publish it externally also. Thank you Laura.

Feet still with swelling problems. Seems related to sitting too much in chairs.  Tooth needs x-ray. Same for you, no?

The problem is not disease. Disease is good. Disease is Krsna removing our material body. The problem is that the disease does not penetrate completely. We only die superficially. We need to die completely. That is Bhakti yoga. Bhakti yoga is suicide. the ONly suicide. Get to work! After we have killed our fake ego our real ego can wake up really.

Replace material habits with spiritual habits one hard step at a time. It's hard but it's eternal.

See you at the Hawaii class today!

We arrive in Mexico on the 16th and stay to the 20th.  We want to promote M. Jambavati's AUto biography audio book and our Carl Jung work and education in ISKCON. That seems to be enough to cover the whole universe!!

Estimation now is South America late december and January. INdia February.

Oink!  Oink!!!

9.23PM. Bed time.    We picked up Hari-lila Prabhu at the airport at noon and have had his good association all day. Our annual symposium is Saturday and people are starting to come.

Also, mailed first copy of Dr. Samaresh's book off for review to the Journal of Hindu Studies at Oxford University, and M. Jambavati Devi Dasi's biography to Mexico today.

We will read Prayers by the personified Vedas from Krsna book and take rest.  Lokanatha Das is reading that. He's our KRSNA book study partner.

Hare Krsna.
