          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)...

Hare Krsna.   AGTSP   paoho....  Connection fails every 30-seconds so we just write to say health is O.K. we are still in Mayapura for the GBC and Sannyasi-Guru meeting.     We try to connect more!

Chapter Four
Take a New Birth

13 - 02 - 25
Today we came to Mayapur. It was a journey long and hard. This is the highest Dhama, from here you see Goloka!
First was stash your bucket, stash your closthes adn then your heart exactly knows, what's next on the agenda of "remember HDG's lotus toes": Pancha-tattva, Garuda-dev, Gurudeva, Narahari Bhagavan... Radharani and Her Madhava, the dust of Nadia and the Samadhi end.

A thousand talks to connect our socks with waht's up dock in the flow, of all the devotess who've come and'll go...  Gaura-purnima festivo...
        A thousand challenges, Kuruksetra spent, success 42.73 percent. Our only business is to write what will become read by generations up ahead... Take rest. 9PM.

          AGTSP paoho  Computer crashing!   Will try to communicate!

   A   G   T  S P!       (((paoho)))               Here we are still in Iskcon Kolkatta.   Albert Road.    The Temple is beautiful. The devotees seem ideal.  Kokatta seems seven times better than it was last year even.  Curious.   Mercy of God?
 

Today we had very auspicious meeting with Dr. Bandyopadhyay at the Temple and did a lot, lot of work on NIOS projects. Our health is good except that our eyes are strained from anything. If we exercise them properly they may improve. We did a little writing for Trash 12,000 and a little Calendar and Strategy meeting with the Professor.  Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.

Birsimgha Swami is here. Our old friend. Preaching in China.  Maybe there is auspiciosness for all the world coming from Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtana of the Holy Names.

,

32-rounds. Friday is Varaha dvadasi!     CHant, memorize Dasa-avatar verse...  "vasati dasana sikhare..."  read relevant verses in SB 1.3 and 2.7.   Hare Bolo, Prabhus!!!

 A G T S P !
(((paoho)))
After a long hard struggle we made it to Kolkatta, ISKCON. Harsh got the Tata Photon running so we may have some e-mail.  Let's see.  We met with Temple organizers and Professor Bandyopadhyay and it seems that we will have a full week of work this week.     Squeak!     Squeak!
Got 24-rounds done and hope to be on Japa Joe tomorrow at 1.30AM Kolkatta time. We're s'posed to give class tomorrow at 8.30AM in the Temple room.

O.K.   We respond to the Blog posts for last week and then we'll try to get more and more up to date.  Harer nama, Harer nama...   Its the only way.   Krsna will give us intelligence. We have so much Sankirtan here. Only possible if your help us do it!    Thank you.

P.S.   We bought tickets for Houston for ~11-25  June and 25 June - 3 July for Denver.  We're waiting for news from the Boise Temple Board about visiting there for Rathayatra July Fourth.
We also sent a letter to Miguel and Abhi about participating in their Congress in August.
Generally we are turing our pushing interior. If scholars see some use for us then we are glad to work, and we will focus more on being of more worth. The more we chant sincerely the more we are purified, eternally, and useful to the devotees of Krsna.
