AGTSP!!!     (((paoho)))     Oink!        Oink!                 WHoop!  Whoop!            Quack!  QUack.

Another done day in Radhdesa!  It's 10.50PM now.  We still haven't shaken this Jet Lag.  It's been like this before.  We get EXHAUSTED after lunch. Have nap and then can't sleep at night.  Still we try.
We gave class on SB1.10.1-33 today in the morning, then our NOD2 seminar with four devotees for three hours. Then 2-hours with all the students and teachers for a Sanga. It was quite informative what is happening.
We are packing up for India, Manipur, Australia.  We have regular phone calls and letter.  Also trying to contact NGD about USA.   There are so many people to work with that it is confusing, like trying to dance on the heads of many peacocks!  Ha!  Ha!                 Yet, Krsna is the greatest dancer, so seems that a nice plan for the future will develop.
O.K.  Try to rest a little and then Call Tennessee at 1AM and the Japa!!!!  The best way to die.
We're caught up with the Blog mail to 6 days ago!!

No internet this morning. Lost our Japa Joe conneccion.   Yet, got 27/28 rounds done!   Our NOD-2 two classes is three hours plus preparation everyday and we give usually one other class and one heavy meeting about administration.   We FINALLY got a hold of Dr. Bandyopadhyay by telephone in Kolkata. Plans for Manipur are still not clear and still some shaking to get Australia settled. Our academic contacts in Murfrees boro are not very enthusiastic for NIOS work, so we are really, really, really, looking for introspective advice about how we are supposed to participate in the Lord's plan of work.

It's 9.10PM.     Our life is pretty Sattvic so things seem to be pretty well organized inspite of our stupid, childish abilities.

O.K.   Let's ship this document and read the Krsna, book!

How are you all?   It is 9.30PM.   We have had a very happy day, hard work, 90% success. We are still aroused bvby this jet-lag and so we napped considerable during the day and naturally cannot sleep now. For Brother Ass it is 2.30 in the afternoon.
Gradually, putting 1.30AM Japa first, all our other rythms are falling into place, and then when we get the rhythm of Radhadesa ...   We change again!!!  

Off to Kolkatta, Mayapura, Manipura!         Ha!    Ha!    Ha (re)!

O.K.   ... Work until 11PM. Nap until 1AM. Japa Joe ...
We recorded todays NOD-2 classes.

If you don't know what to do,
   Or you don't know what to think,
Then let the Holy Names,
   Into your heart deep, sink.

Ceto darpana marjanam  ...   vidya vadu jivanam.
This Sankirtan is the life and wife of knowledge.

              Whoop!    WHoop!        [Oink!]

AGTSP   (((paoho)))   ...   Radha-desa 6PM.   We have caught up with the Letters up to one week ago!!!!!   We will deal with Vyasapuja offerings differently next year (If we are still on this planet).   How are you all!    This process is wonderful!   Now we bathe, Gayatri, and at 6.30PM is fresh cow's milk and light Prasadam.  7PM is our last class on NOI and after that we will do the Kapi Dhvaja.

Today is Vasant purnima.   We heard that Radha and Gopinatha and all Their friends are going to have snow ball fights in the snow in the moon light!
O.K.   See you in the Kapi Dhvaja!

   AGTSP   paoho.    The internet connection in Radha-desa is not good in the afternoon or evening yesterday so we could not write our Diary...   Every evening we are having NOI symposium and try to go tot Bhakti-vaibhava level.  Is very nice. Lots of devotees.   As we just try to talk about things spontaneously the class goes into depth and it seems that even in four or five evenings we will just cover maybe two or three verses and purports!

We arrived Wednesday morning. Crashed for a few hours and gave class Wednesday night.  The yesterday they had us give class in the morning. One hour meeting with Yadu Swami and Dina-dayal Das about on-line education, and then NOI in the evening. We also fought with the robot and after 1/2 hour found out how to remove the partition on our external hard drive and made a back up of our files!  Actually were several other complications.

We beat ourselves for not working enough, but seems that maybe we are working O.K. We can desrire to be like Rupa Goswami, utsahan, but we should have patience, dhairyat.

            We are really struggling to catch up with the Blog letters.   100 vyvasa puja letters has got us drowned.  We look for "Urgent" letters.

In anxiety not to be doing Dr. Bandyopadhyay's work!             NIOS work....   Hare Krsna...   We are compulsive personalities.   Slow down, Tom!  Chant Hare Krsna and be happy. Learn to decline work. Set a practical standard of what you can do.  Keep the important things first and be sure that your work is well coordinated with others.  Then everything will get done for Srila Prabhupada very nicely..
