Letters to the editor

6.15PM. The sun sets at 4.30PM now and so it is kind of depressing in the evening. Also, we are a Sannyasi so we are alone a lot and have to work alone like Hanuman looking wof Sita alone.

It can become very intense, depressing, causing doubt, but also can get a lot done this way.

We are O.K. We will put a letter we wrote Dr. Samaresh after this. It gives some perspective on our situation. Answered about five letters. Very nice. Had a hellish fight with the Money Gram people. They decided that Arya-srestha das, Karuna-shakti devi dasi
 and I were like drug dealers and thus they would not transfer the money we are trying to send for M. Jambavati's auto-biography and dental surgery. Some went. It is funny. We will try to send another way.

At the time of death we become very morose and the only enthusiasm is our transcendental relation with Krsna, and that can be like the sun!

The letter to Dr. Samaresh explains the general challenges and so far we are doing well adjusting our work load and then we can more easily see what Krsna wants.

O.K. Post that letter and then maybe go get the Money Gram refund and then go to NGD's and Mother Matsya and Abhiseka's and Radha-Natabara's Ashrama, and go for our 44.5 minute evening, night-time walk. Is down to freezing a night now. We got our warm jacket from Tandavika's house. We offer Lord Nrsmhadeva a blend of two bananas, apple juice and some p-nut butter for breakfast, and his kitri of of green split peas and rice and potatoes and carrots and celery with ghee and salt for lunch.

AGTSP!    paoho   How are you-all?  We are in Tennessee for almost one week now. We have a bunch of spider bites or something all over one part of our beloved body. Maybe some fever from them also.

It is good in that it makes us detached from our love of skin and try to find the Lord within.  Oink!   Oink!   WHOOp!  WHHOooP!

Also, with our own office-ashrama-cave, it is real opportunity to really see who we are, what is our devotion, psycho-physical nature. We have a chance to try things that we have wanted to do for 35-years and see what is the result. The main thing we want to try is to be a pure-devotee. Abandon all religion inspired by material or even spiritual  sources different from our own personal Dharma.

Japa Joe is a life-line for us now. We get 16-rounds done early and then after that we can do a lot of experimenting, actually follow our Sannyasa-dharma.

Is the same for you all?

Most important thing is we have to write. What to write? Hmmm, still not completely clear in terms of projects, but...  that is a very central issue because trying to do Writing Projects may be an even more basic problem, mistake.
There is a comment that Rudyard Kipling, Nobel Prize in Literature, could not write more than poems and short-stories. His novels are a collection of short stories, articles.

We chant our rounds. Our beads are our worshipable Deity. Four principles gross AND subtle. "In this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we require everyone to rise early in the morning, by four A.M.,and attend mańgala-ārati, or morning worship, then read Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, perform kīrtana, and so forth. Thus we hold continuous activities in devotional service twenty-four hours daily. This is called sato vṛtti, or following in the footsteps of the previous ācāryas who expertly filled every moment of time with Kṛṣṇa conscious activities." NOI 3.

Full morning and evening program.

Sankirtan Partners - That very much grows out of this Blog. If you don't participate in this Blog then pretty much you are not a member of the ASA Cosmic Traveling Sankirtana Party.

Sankirtan Targets - (Targets?) People we are trying to preach too. They come from this Blog also. Academic and cultural groups. Wherever you go, whomever we meet...

...  O.K. Japa, Diary, Gayatri-sandhya...  [Pretty cold here now] We are adjusting.

[[Wonder if we will die from these spider bites. ]]

KIRTANIYA SADA HAREH

Here we are in Houston still. We just answered a whole peck of letters with lots of news and content. We will do a summary of these meetings as soon as we reach our base in Tennessee.

It has been very very intense. There are always many emotional pains in doing Sankirtana. We expect that we will become more expert as time goes on. The fundamental thing is that there is great, great opportunity for Sankirtan, preaching, on a local and global scale at this time.

We have answered to the letters up to 1 week and 10 hours. No URGENT letters.

Now we have to look at Yahoo.

Take a quick bath.

Call our driver for tommorrow.

Chant six more rounds to our 26/day.

Give initiation to Bhaktin Govinda from Mexico.

Then we will have intelligence what we else we should do.

TOMMORROW we are booked in to Group B-4 for the flight o Tennessee at 4.50PM. Abhiseka will take us to see NGD, M. Matsya, and Radha - Natabara. Then we will go to our cave on the top of the hill about ten minutes away for the night.

Also tommorrow is skype with Abhrirama of Peru, BhaVai partner, Upendra, Hawaii SB class!

O.K. Yahoo, bath and temple!
