AGTSP paoho. We are just leaving for Brisbane from New Govardhana Farm. 900 acres, scores of devotees, extended community. We are pushing to answer the mail. Do our writing, classes, counseling... We are refusing more and more engagements so we can handle our priorities. O.K. We look for URGENT letters. 4.50PM Jaya!
AGTSP!!! paoho. Here we are in Govardhana Farm. Our skin rash is a little better. We are still very weak but heathy! How are you? We have two weeks of letters to answer. So many devotees here. Madhu-manjari Devi Dasi, Adi-adri, Raktaka Das, Dhruvananda and Sudevi and Markendeya and Dhanesvari and her baby.....
We have heavy lecture and consultation load, but the weather is celestial. Inernet is good. We are doing Japa Joe daily. It will be the same hour until Saturday morning. Australia has like four time zones. Confusing. We will go to Brisbane Friday evening!
O.K. Calls to India, answer letters, correct BVC papers...
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.
