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.

              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..

AGTSP!    paoho.    Here we are in Radha-desa, Le Petite Somme, Brussels, Europe, Bharata-varsa. It was a long...  hard...  trip but our Yoga and the MERCY of Srila Prabhupada made it possible.  We were six hours in transit... tran-sit ....   in Newark but we had final fone conversations with several devotees and that was time well spent. Then over night in the dark to Brussels and then to the Castle.  Mother Matsya's puris with vegetables were wonderful, Lord Nrsmhadeva seemed to be growling in ecstasy.

Some, good amount of sleep, rest, and we feel quite well.  We gave and recorded the first of three evening NOI-3 seminars. Now we will look at the letters to the editor a little bit and take rest for the night. We have to be careful because we have to run on batterys until we get an adapter.
See you at Japa Joe tommorrow 1.30AM Brussels hour.

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!
