Subhra Devi Dasi and her school.  So nice to hear of the Temple opening.  Especially on Rama Navami!!!   As you see from the DTC we are just heading out the door.  We get to the USA, Nashiville the when your retreat finishes!!
               Keep on looking. You will see what very specific service Krsna wants from you. Designer cakes!

            Very gratifying.  TKU SP!!!!!

      (((paoho)))
Here we are in ISKCON Sydney, Australia, Radha-gopinatha Mandir. We are about 75% perfect. As far as our imperfect analysis goes.   Trying to work with more devotion.
Now its, 6PM, dark outside. Sun just left. Little cool, Autum.

Today we had 1AM Bhakti-vaibhava meeting with Nimsar in Peru.  Was very , very useful. They are very sincere in using the San Jose Study Guides and reading with real intention.

1.30-3.30AM - Japa Joe with important chats about schedule for Spain.  HK  HK!

10-12 AM - NOD, BhSastri class in the a PACKED TEMPLE room with about  100 devotees on Sadhana bhakti. Very, very ispiring audience. Raktaka Das is filming. He also made a mad Punjabi breakfast for all the devotees and the puris, subji and sweet rice were all quickly exhausted.

7-9PM - "A Crash Course on BG" at a big Temple Yoga center.

11PM - Another Web-Ex teleconference on BhVai, SB 4.2, with San Jose, Boise!!!   We have 15 of our 25-rounds done. Is time for Gayatri. We have to call Sanjaya in Mayapura about NIOS book shipments. We answered all the letters to our Yahoo account. Other tasks seem to be on schedule.

Our eyes are distorted, little weak, and will probably stay that way.

Our heart is rather O.K.    Our attitude has become, work hard, eat healthy diet and let life or death come as it will.

O.K.   Gayatri, call Sanjaya and we answer Blog letters.

          A G T S P !
      (((paoho)))           Here we are in Sydney still.   The Kapi-dhvaja went on time yesterday. We just updated the Web-page to put Srila Prabhupada's name on the first page. Our allergys have finished but we have been having these uncomfortable arhythmias the last few days.

Let's check our pulse right now. . .66/minute, and no noticeable irregularities.  Hmmm.  Maybe it's better.   We've gotten a regular diet, more sane work load etc.  Jaya!

Last night was the first of a three day seminar on NOI.   We showed our two powerpoint shows and then tonight we will focus on Verse Eight. About 60-devotees in the Temple. Very great people. Beautiful Temple. Donations of 85-dollars and distributed 10-NOIs.

Let's look at the news from others.  We are two-weeks and one-day behind on the letters.  Maybe we can catch up now.  4.42PM

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.   AgtSP!       paoho.      We just arrived in Sydney Temple. The flight was on Jet Star and it went from Melbourne to here, but then continued on to Honululu!  So, we had to go through immigration and everything both in Melbourne and here!               Ha!    Ha!      Ha(re)!                  Then devotees were waiting at the Domestic Terminal and we arrived at the International Terminal, and there was a Jet Star flight from Melbourne on Domestic arriving all the time!!!!!       Happens all the time.   We just chanted Hare Krsna loudly while we were waiting and walking here and there and it was fun.  People benefited.

M. Madhumanjari, Adi-adri and Jitendriya Das and many temple devotees gave us friendly welcome.  We had garbanza beans, rice, carrots and some other stuff Nrsmhadeva Mahaprasadam.  It's 5.46PM and getting dark.   Raktaka Das is with us all the way.  He is taking Prasadam now in other room with other devotee. 7PM is Gaura-arati.  Now we will go to the Temple room and chant more rounds.  Chant 124-daily. If you do it with sincerity Krsna will dictate excatly what He wants to do in His current plan of work, adventure.

Later we hope that we can do a little more work.
