Letters to the editor

                           AGTSP!                  (paoho)))))>>>>   Oink!       Oink!          Whoop!    wHOOp!!!!                1.16PM in the Radha Govinda Temple in Kolkata.  We just answered all the letters up to three days ago and all the CALENDAR DEVELOPMENT letters...    Hard work, but fun.  NOw we need a knap!!!  We save our breakfast for lunch.   It is super arrangement.  B'fast is alway more in the mode of goodness.   You can look at it and just see it, color, less oil, simple...         Then we carry our tiffin with us and can feel its delighful weight and then wait to enjoy it.            Jagannatha Prasad.

We had tipical day yesterday with Japa Joe - Mangala arti with 100 B'caris - Gave SB class to about 200 devotees - Sunday Feast class with struggle with translation (makes us feel like we got rocks in our mouth) - Some challenging questions, but we survived.    Then  ----   Got a Taxi to Lake town and worked with Dr. Samersh for about 4-hours. Half the time falling asleep while reading papers for the Museum book.
Taxi back to the Temple and in bed by 9.45PM!
                Oink!/Whoop!             -    Hari-krsna Das, all the devotees so helpful here.

O.K.  We              naaaaaa p!

                 [hart is o.k. but could be little better.      hot /  humid here.   there are problems in all our  Temples.        Tomorrow we start the      ----= { l o n g    trip to Madrid! ------}

    A G T S P !   (((paoho)))   Here we are in Kolkatta Temple. We have nice room. The devotees have been so, so helpful.  It was long hard trip from Australia and our time is getting booked up here pretty fast.
   Our work with Dr. Samaresh is going pretty good.
   All the different projects seem pretty much under control.   We are still having heart fatigue.  We adjust the work and that definitely helps, but doing nothing seems the greatest strain on the heart.   If we are going to die, better to die doing Sankirtan.

   Probably 90% of our readers face the same confrontations.  O.K.  We adjust our schedule, work, as best as we can and then push ahead inspite of the heart squeezes. The regular Sadhana like that really seems to do the heart good.

  Thank you again, Australia devotees.

   Tommorrow is Rabindra Bharati lecture. We have to write and abstract next.
    We have 23/32 rounds done.
   Dr. SB is coming to the Temple after Museum meeting.  NOw it is 4.27PM. Sun has gone.  Birds singing. Little warm but O.K.   Radha Govinda are so nice.
    The Kapi-Dhvaja is supposed to go today.
O.K.    Letters answered up to 3-days ago.        We do our abstract now.

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.
