Letters to the editor

AGTSP   paoho.    3.38AM.     Up since 1.15AM with Japa Forum, but some rest also.  In three hours we leave for the airport.    Will be six hours in transit in Newark.
Brother Ass is definitely getting older (and wiser). I guess that means he's a real wise-ass??
Have two more important letters to write. Little packing. Mangala arati for Radha Natabara, and Blog letters.
We can't handle all the Vyasa puja offerings!!!    Most of the them are similar. Thay have all been very nice. Thank you.  Whatever good qualities you see in us is probably 99.999% the tolerance and mercy of Srila Prabhupada and the devotees.    We will just glance at the first few words of the remaining offerings and post them without comment. They are so much better than last year. Seems like we have become Brahmanas. Next Goswami!

Hare Krsna,   Hare Krsna...
   AGTSP
      (((paoho)))           Oink!     Oink!       Whoop Whoop.       Here we are in Murfreesboro afloat in service good and rich.   The problem is to satisfy that transcedental, esoteric, exisitential itch.
             Each day we die for drama, mystery,  personal elan, with Krsna in Goloka, that's the only plan.    Books the basis and  NOI amongst them is the basis of the base, and eight is the the basis of the basis of the base!
                    The KRSNA book!!!   Book...        O.K.    Time for today's Japa!
We're catching up on on the Blog.
     Our eyes can't handle much screen.
                Today will be banking, final letters and we're off for the Belgium's jewel!     Radha Gopinatha!

            A G T S P !     (((paoho)))         Here we are in the Guest Room in Nitai-gaurasundara Das' home. Jayapataka Swami, Hrdayananda Goswami, Nirajana Swami, Satsvarupa Das Goswami have all stayed in this room. Prabhu's esteemed father, famous Hindi scholar, left his body here.
It's 10.19PM. Time to take rest. We had so, so much work to do in the last four days at Tandavika Das' home. All of our physical possessions, files and there. He we should be able to do a lot of work on catching up on the phone and Blog communication, then Tuesday we start this four month Journey to the Far East.
Our vision is stressed everytime we use the computer.  We are definitely hearing reduced. Our short term memory is not what is used to be... but our intelligence is continuing to expand. The classes to Peru this morning and here tonight were so nice!!!!   We can appreciate the BG and SB so much more. Some people say that this is Maya, should engage in more gross work. We should see Krsna in whatever work He gives us but in the beginning He appreciates we are inclined to a certain service, Karma-yoga, like Arjuna.
O.K.  That will lead to Jnana-yoga and to Dhyana-yoga and then to pure Bhakti-yoga
Ha!    Ha!    Ha!     In the end just chant  HK / HR!!!!

Jaya  Sri Sri Guru, Gauranga.

O.K.  (Om Krsnaya namaha) ...  Take a nap until 1.15AM.   Got our goal of 28 rounds done today!!  Tha you Krsna.  Was a very nice day.   We hope it all culminates in very great book distribution....   Tom Brown (MONKEY).

AGTSP   paoho.    9.44PM
We have a headache like six elefants.  Jaya!!!!           Time to take some rest.     We see that any intelligence that we have for our work comes from Krsna.  If we want to worship demigods He gives us the determination to do it. If we want to strive for a post, a PhD, a job, a marriage partner, He gives us the intelligence that gives us the enthusiasm.
All we can do is chant the Maha-mantras at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada.
Dadami buddhi yogam tam... then He will give us personal indications that the results are His choice.
Such a kind Friend.
Such an ingenous Friend.  Such a happy Friend!!!
How can we help Him??

Hare Krsna / Hare Rama

We have to be willing to make strong readjustment of our plans. To be connected with Krsna!
 

ASA Apes,
A G T S P !      (paoho)     Here we are in Franklin, Tennessee (Giriraja Ashrama). We are with Tandavika, M. Mina, Kosa, and Mosa. Trip yesterday was like ten hours. We were COMPLETELY exhausted, but still we were able to check Dr. Polo's letter from San Marcos University and then call Dr. Messier here in Tennessee.
Their ideas are much more clear now, so our idea of ourselves is also much more clear. They do not have much service for us, so we have to approach Srila Prabhupada for service and share it with others.

Our new alarm didn't work, so we didn't get up until 4.30AM and so we missed the Japa Forum. Tommorrow should be O.K.    1.30AM, Nashville hour.

Now we have to pack-up for this four months of travel, out in the field.   LOTS of WORK.

O.K.   7.42AM (5/25-rounds done).

Now we listen to Srila Prabhupada's class, and then chant more Japa and review the Blog letters.
