P   paoho.    Last night in NIOS/Tennessee. Sunday.   Tommorrow to Houston. Health and energy up to normal (for 65-years old).     We've answered the mail up to 6-days ago, and all the projects seem to be reasonably under control. We are still getting pressure to do more than we should, but we are dealing with it pretty well. Daivi-varna-ashrama-dharma Ki Jai!

Very excellent report from our old friend in Bali: www.jayarama.us/archives/130609-manipuris-visit-bali

Next step is to get Abhiseka and us and Rama-giridhari Das on the phone about starting Goloka Trust Schools in USA, Houston, Nila-madhava Dhama!

O.K. Krsna, book!!!!

Don't so anything practical after 8.00PM

               AGTSP!                paoho.      We arrived at Tandavika Das' Ashrama in Franklin, Tennessee, USA, Friday and fell down in "our bed" at 11PM after 4-months of hard trave,l and finally 29-hours of travel without resting. We got to go to the dentist for drilling-and-filling for the filling that fell out somewhere over the Atlantic, and today, Thursday, six daze later, we have some energy. Our liver is a little recovered.   We have three cabinets, cases, open all over the floor of our room and are adjusting all the stuff for this next short USA tour.

Tommorrow we will go to Nitai-gaurasundara Das Ashrama.    In Murfreesboro. Hobbits live in Boros, right.   Then Monday to Houston for over 2-weeks with good situation. Then a week in Denver, Boise and San Jose...             16 July back in Tennessee and maybe just sit here until 8th October or maybe until we transit to the unlimited forest of Vrndavana, where there is a lot of room.

O.K.  Let's look at the mail.             One week to do!             Lisitening to ISKCON Hawaii, class...        Thank you.

               AGTSP!      paoho  &  bw.    We are sick as a dog [which is about the same as being sick as a Pig or a Monkey].  This last 29-hours of travel, motion, was a LOT of stress for Brother Ass. He is complaining like anything - Hee Haw!    Hee Haw!!!      Haw Ray!

          We must accept for now and forever that he is no longer a Smart Ass, now he can only aspire to be a Wise Ass.

           Today is Monday.   Following Rupanuga Ji's Ayurvedic Advice we just relaxed and did light work Saturday and Sunday.  It has helped a lot. Now is Ekadasi, and we are fasting. Feeling like vomiting etc. but seems that if we just keep with this Light Work Program all will O.K.       Light-work has been contacting people here in USA and Peru.  Things are Good (Uncle Gismo).     Still seems that we will have enough Organizational Work that we will not be able to settle down to Writing Sankhya ABCs for a while yet.

We will try to get our Sankirtana-partners sorted out for the next fortnight today.

O.K.  Blog is 6-days behind, we catch up and answer special Manipuri letters too.  

Thank you.    We are at Tandavika's house until Friday night 615 599-8424.   Cell phone should activate like Wednesday.  209 505-3219.

Laid down for first time at 6AM CET this morning, 11PM ACT (ASA Camp Time).  That's 29-hours of work, but Brother Nokia is recharged. Brother Acer is 96% recharged. Brother Ass is 57-97% recharged.       With no sound, chanting Japa, we  watched, "Saving Private Ryan". Very useful documentary.   Then another way, no sound, Japa,  "Cruickshank Redemption". Also, documentary...    Reviewed Krsna-ksetra Das' book on Rama-smaranam, chanted 32-rounds.  Suffered like hell in sympathy for Brother Ass...  7-hours in the mean transit lounge in Newark!!!!    No Prasadam bu choclate covered p-nuts.            Never again unless great results.              "We're all gonna die, it's how you live that counts", Conan the Barbarian!       O.K.  Bath, Mangala arati.  3.53AM ACT....    Get to your letters today.  Resting.  House alone today and tommorrow!

The Educational Simposium was really great.  It was about 90% efficient.  Incredible devotees.  We are going to be working with Rama-giri-dhari Das from Bombay on the Ministry of Education Web page with Dina dayal Das.  That is like the back-bone of ISKCON Education.  From there everything else, curriculim developement, PhD Thesis design, teacher and student placement...  all communicate.

            Once people know Krsna, they can love Him.  If you love Krsna you will love everybody,  "aham sarvasya prabhavo..." BG 10.10...
