   AGTSP...  paoho.   Laksmana-agra-ja Das is sedated but body funcioning more normal.  Our respiration is O.K.

                               Hare Krsna.  Hare Krsna.     Jaya!        AGTSP.....    Hari bolo!!

   A  G  T  S  P !    (((paoho(((          Basically we are fighting for our life.     It started like around 6AM this morning.   We had to go into complete withdrawl and start doing Pranayama like anything, like we have never done before and anytime during our life.    It took about 10-minutes to get our right side open. We almost sufficated doing it.   Now, 8.42AM, its keeping about 70% open. We've COMPLETELY stopped left side breathing.

Srila Prabhupada's Maha-mantra Bhajan is playing in Nandulal Das' cellular.  Intense, deep, inhalation through the right side and blowing it out forcefully through the lips from intense diaphram thrusts.  We are trying to respirate our heart. It is INTENSE.

Hari bolo..    We don't know what's happening, but the most simple sane estimate that we can come up with is that Laksmana-agraja Das is dying and we have a strong Karmis connection with him. Our feet swelled up for no reason when he went into shock from the diabetes and colonic perforation.

Are we breathing for him?

Don't know but sure seems so.       Mind very clear.              Presence of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Nrsmhadeva very strong, clear!!!!!!!           We are servants.           We will keep you informed.  Please don't bother us.

Breathing has to penetrate.    Pratyahara in heavy effect.     Deeper.   Deeper.         Srila Prabhupada Mantra!!!! ! ! !      !           !

AGTSP!!!     (((paoho)))       We're sorry we're not perfect! !    !                   We have to wait for the waves of passion and ignorace to subside, before we can do fixed service.  Yet, when the modes are a little in goodness we try to use the opportunity to get as much service done as we can!

Jaya!

And in lower modes, we try to dovetail our passion eg. watch Peter Brook "Mahabharata" or Little Krsna on Youtube.  As bizarre as we get is read Sherlock Holmes.   It does give a lot of information about English history. Basically we need to stop our mind. Holmes etc has nothing to do with reality.  These are just meaningless mental games that allow the mind to move but not work.  If we get a chance to iron our clothes we prefer it. To work in the garden. We are learning daily how to dovetail more and more our life, and then that leads to more goodness and then more pure devotional service.

Karma-yoga - Doing what I like to do fort Krsna.

Bhakti-yoga - Doing what Krsna likes me to do for Krsna.

        We have letters from one week to answer.    We try to answer two days worth daily as our catch up tool. Today is Gita jayanti.  We are in Tandavika's house for Friday and Saturday night. We go back to Murfreesboro to our office this afternoon.  Franklin (Tandavika's city) is 45 minute from Nashville and Murfreesboro.

Our health is O.K.   Our feet swelled up the same day that Laksmana Prabhu went to the hospital, went into liver and pancreas panic.  We is stable now and our foot inflamation is going down.  Foot problems represent Karmic reactions, we hear.

O.K.  1.57PM.   Pack, do NIOS accounting with Tandavika. Drive one hour to Visnu carana's house for Gita jayanti program. One our back to Murfrees boro. Pick up the keys to Dr. Desai's car and drive it to our office and Take Rest.  Japa joe on line at 1.30AM.    And a New Day will begin!!

----

PP  Somos bien.   Luchando con deseos para disfruta mental, fisico.  4-principios O.K.          Esfuerza es como relacionar deseos materiales que occuren cada dia con Krsna!

Inflamation de pies es poco menos.  Pienso es simpazia con la caida fuerte de Laksmana en Peru de pancreas y igado (liver)!!!

O.K.   Arregla equipaje y vamos a Gita jayanti!

AGTSP    paohhhh.     6.03 PM, Friday.  Sunsets at 4.30PM here.  Four lane, business street outside our window.

Our health is mixed.  Heart, lungs, eyes O.K.   But three days ago our feet swelled up.  Hmm.  Maybe too much  desk work, but why all of a sudden and keeping them in the air and walking doesn't change things.

Oh well, we keep working on them. Stings a little but not much real problem yet.   Maybe we die on this Vyasa puja!  Jaya!   Get ready.   You are flying the ship.

LAD is in coma in Choseeka.  He melted down from stress...   Do what you can do, nicely, not Dog-hard, and as much as possible increase hearing and chanting.

Other work is O.K.   We are intoxicated with this Susan Boyle history and thinking it would be nice if she could know more about Lord Caitanya. We have something to offer to the MOST fortunate people.

           Calendar is well.  Fixing next NIOS annual event.  Oscar recording Spanish for Jambavati's Biography. Jambavati killing herself in Sankirtana.  Bhakti vaibhava coming to a close.

Fighting with lust.

Now we pack.   No time for letters!    Had to answer all the Yahoo, VIP, Manipur mail.    But seem to be on schedule.  At 6.30  PM we go to NGD house.  Do more Japa, then 7.30PM is regular evening program then we go to Tandavika's house at 9.30PM and stay until Sunday, Gita Jayanti!  Jaya.

AGTSP

(((paoho)))          Murfreesboro, TN.    ASA Commando.    We had a BIG feast at 3.30PM so we could not but help fall asleep at 5.30PM.     Then we slept, as normal until 9.30PM!!!!     All this is quite normal.   We didn't want to honor a BIG feast, but we have surprise guests who wanted to cook their way and it takes more ability than we have to put them in our channel.
It has been very nice having their association also, but of course this also leads to these irregularities in our strict Sadhana.     Hmmm.    Learning how to do Vaidhi-bhakti, living life of strict rules andd regulation. Of course, this also is personal, and ever fresh, how to bring the mind and senses to pure goodness, eating and sleeping and defending in pure goodness, Suddha-sattva, so that we can offer Lords Nrsmha deva the unlimited pleasure available on the spiritual platform.

Hare Krsna!     Let's chant some more rounds...   Answer two days worth of letters. Do some banking, administrative work...  Contemplate the Calendar of the Holy Names.
 

10.28 – R(16) [plus 13 from our 28/day from yesterday]
      Live at Radha kunda. You have the picture of the Bhauma-dhama, the earthly manifestation, in front of you!   Work at Radha Kunda. It is like a Summer Camp where Kids come to pass their vacations. You can be a squirrel there, a pot washer with others. So much work to do at camp!!!

Looking at Youtube video of Prabhupada lecturing in Australia. Devotees falling asleep. I remember that I couldn’t appreciate Srila Prabhupada’s lectures. Even now, how much do we appreciate them? Is it our “fault”. Maybe not. He is lecturing for a certain audience. The Purport is for a certain audience. The Lila is for a certain Dhama. You don’t mix Dvaraka and Vrndavana indiscriminately or you get a weak Rasa, Rasa-bhasa, and you fall asleep, look for a Rasa with your tongue or belly…

10.36AM – R(16)

11.08AM – R(20) . Look at Youtube, Susan Boyle.

Best inspirational video.  You can make a difference no matter how small you are.  The song could be Radharani?  (Divide her number by 4...)

“I Deamed a Dream” from ‘Les Miserables’. Details at Wikipedia.
I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high and life, worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die,
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid,
And dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine, un-tasted.

But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your hope apart,
And they turn your dream to shame.

And still I dream he'll come to me,
That we will live the years together,
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms we cannot weather!

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed...
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...

T.S. Eliot, “Cats”. Look for “Memory” on the Wikipedia.

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan


Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is

Look
A new day has begun

What do we have to offer to her?

====================

12.07AM  -  Just finished two days worth of letters from the Blog.  Is nice.  Nice catch up pace.  O.K.  Four more rounds.

12.38AM – R(24).

Preparing for our class on Thursday by Skype with Hawaii. It is on Narada-muni and the Pancarata. From Wikipedia:

Jiva Gosvami had stated in his Paramātma Sandārbha, forming part of six principal Sandārbhas, or philosophical treateses of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, that, "Seeing that the imperfect scriptures in the modes of passion and ignorance bring only a host of troubles, and also seeing that the original Vedas are very difficult to follow properly, and thus being very dissatisfied with both of these, the all-knowing scripture authors affirm the superiority of the Pancarātras, which describe the pure absolute truth, Narayana, and the worship of the Lord, which is very easy to perform."^[2] In the same Sandārbha Jiva Gosvami states^[3] that god himself, Svayam Bhagavan, had spoken the Nārada Pañcarātra, which is accepted as a pramāṇa [critical evidence] by Gaudiya scholars.

1.00AM - R(24)

1.18AM – R(26)  -  Get ready for Japa Joe!

[Perlas de Puerquecito:  Estamos en Murfreesboro. Visita de un amigo hace 30 anos, devoto, y su nueva esposa…  Muy bueno, pero tambien cambio de nuestra Sadhana. Interesante. Necesitamos tiempo solo para experimentar nuestra propio estandard, pero tambien tiempo con otros devotos para tomar apoyo de su asociacion.]
