AGTSP (paoho) - We made it to Govinda Valley, near Gold Coast, Australia!!! Thoubal one night, Imphal one night, Kolkatta one night. Thai airways one night. Brisbane one night. Today two lectures and three hours of individual discussion, and three pounds of Burfi for the burro!
O.K. Take rest and pray for mercy of God!!!
A G T S P!
paoho & bw! !
How are you? We are fine (considering this is the material world, martya-loka). We are sitting a little uncomfortably under a mosquito net in Professor Bandyopadyay's ashrama in Lake Town, Kolkatta. It is 5.16AM. Maybe first light is just coming.
By the mercy of the great rider in the sky, Horse Pradhana, we have Tata photon USB drive going, and we are using it now before the other people wake up and it becomes crowded.
It is little hot here, some mosquitos, crows and Kawwwking. We got on Japa joe for the first time in an age! After about 1/2 hour Richard the Righteous of Amsterdam, we think, joined us. Then Mother Gandharvika from SJC! Was nice.
We have 15-rounds done and have sent our comments on the GBC Position Paper on who is Srila Prabhupada in ISKCON off, our first draft of how to establish a Bhakti-sastri center in your Temple off and reviewed the Yahoo mail. We got five mosquito bites so unplugged the Acer and got under the net.
Our eyes are falling apart. The screen is starting to blurr. Hare Krsna!
Ekadasi today, we must starve, then at 9PM we have to go to the airport for a 2AM flight! We arrive in the wonderful land of Oz(tralia) about 3-5PM in the afternoon. Seems like Lord Sri Krsna wants us to stay up all night on Ekadasi chanting Hare Krsna. I guess the Tata-photon will be working, so we could keep skype etc open until 2am.
O.K. That's about it. We are working on the next NIOS book with professor and we hope to talk with Patrak Das today et al.
Let's answer five letters and give our eyes a break!
AGTSP! paoho & BW. Quick, throw the message!!!!!! We are back from Thoubal, Moreh, Tamu - Burmese jungle, bomblasts, considerable physical stress, running, ducking, border town from 1857 Peru, USA time. Nooooooooooooo internet. In Imphal for one day and then to Kolkatta.
Internet may die at any moment.
We are O.K. for 65 year old dumb ass.
Sooooooo much preaching. 12-more initiations.
We are up at 1AM everyday for Japa. Tommorrow no Japa Joe but 23 morning may be. O.K. We look for letters marked urgent!!!!
AGTSP paoho
Here we are in Imphal again. We just got back from four daze in the jungle. We were at Ananda-bazaar. The nearest internet was 28-km away. It was hard, hard, hard, hard work. We have ample headache, but being careful. Lots of results. Don't know how long internet will work so we send then right away. Tommorrow we go to Thoubal and stay for a week. It is like jungle also.
TB - BW.
We try to send the KDh and more news if the intenet lasts. We are O.K. health good, for 65 year old donkey, doing our rounds, MED writing, lots of local programs.
AGTSP paoho. Here we are in Manipur, in the Temple. Its five miles from the city, next to the airport. There are kangaroos and elefants roaming wild next to the window. Its cold in the shade and brother ass has stomach problems. We hope Laksmana agra ja Das is better!!
We got some internet in the Temple office. Tata Photon and Kimo Sabi, don't work. Vodoo phone works. Things are pretty well organized. Pretty distrssful physically, but we were preparing for that. W get out for walks on the temple campus in the fresh air and sunshine. about 3,000 feet altitutde here.
Did some nice writing this morning on the MED Manual About How to Develop a Bhakti sastri center at your Temple.
Food is differnt. Too spicy for us! Haw! Haw! Haw!.
Class this morning was in English so we had to talk v e r y slowly and repeat ourselves. We present our little Light of the Bhagavata and how to use it for preaching. The President, Regional Secretary, Ekanatha Das, and everyone appreciated that it would be very approrpiare in Manipur. We will try to do more.
Tommorrow we meet with Harsh Pradhan, the Flying Horse, and go to Agartala. Then it is a four hour drive in to the jungle with a rifle man on board. After that they even want us to visit Burma for one day!!!!
HAre Krsna Hare Krsna!!! Vidya vadu jivanam. We also got off our work for the Museum book and our Minutes for the MED meeting in Mayapura... Super Monkey of the Spiritual Worlds!!!
Now we look at the Letters to the Editator. In Agartala don't know WHAT will be the connection. I think it will be primitive. No Japa Joe for the forseeable future, but that doesn;t mean that other Monkey Warriors cant log on and keep it going. We get up at 1 AM and chant!
T. Brown Et Al
AGTSP! paoho... Here in the Nil-kamal, Vedic ashrama of Professor Dr. Samaresha Bandyopadhyay and his good wife. We came from Mayapura like 36-hours ago. Had a BAD headache yesterday morning so rested until 4AM before getting up.
Dangerous!
Got better yesterday. Did a lot of work. Worked on our next NIOS book - Bharata sanskrti. Wisdom from classical India, papers submitted at the museum program last May. It is advancing nice. Budget $2,000.
Also worked on typing notes from Strategic Planning Network Commitee meeting in Mayapur. The GBC Sannyasi-Guru Sanga was like 95% failure because they didn't give the non-GBC Sannyasis and Gurus a chance to break into small groups and define who they are and what is their relation to the GBC and what is the GBC. Of course, that is our opinion and we are just apes an pigs. But even 5% of Krsna is great!! Got so, so, much benefit from the Sanga. Lots of work!! Headaches.
So much in education in ISKCON. We can get tuned into all by always chanting Maha-mantras. No one can do our service for us. It is ESSENTIAL and anyone who doesn't appreciate it and connect us to Prabhupada is to be avoided in part or in whole, and helped! We need all the mercy of ISKCON devotees to connect with Prabhupada that we can get!
O.K. 12-rounds done. Now Mangala arati - more writing and Japa and go to the airport at 9AM. Go to the lotus feet of Radha Govinda Candra!! Blog caught up to 1 week two days!! Hare Krsna!!!
We buy BIG KRSNA book where ever we go and read it then leave it with our address (for Sita devi)...
