AGTSP ! paoho ! >>>>=========> We are rushing to catch the ride in Mother Palika Devi Dasi's car with Patraka Das to the airport. Then we have a flight to Arequipa (Hari kripa) at 6AM!
We have mail from like one week. So, so many meetings with devotees yesterday that we couldn't do our Blog work very well, but is not out of range of perfection. We look for "Urgent" letters now and then pack to go.

Cold and damp and wet, here in Lima. Many obstacles and many opportunities. Hare Krsna / Hare Rama! Still got inflamation in the skin but Rupanuga Prabhu's treatment and Ayurvedic logic is helping. Struggling to keep our 32 rounds/day. Patrak Das with us always.
We are finishing bathing and then we have Mangala arati!! Very happy!
We will get to the Blog letters. We-will do our BhVai studies.... We will do our Sankirtana with San Marcos/Abhirama Das et al! Jaya! AgtSP... Paoho....

Here we are in the home of Rupanuga and Dora Devoto in Lima, Peru. It is 8.39PM. Usually foggy and overcast here and the sound of autos on a robust thorough-fare half a block away.
The journey from Nashville, Tennessee, was intense. We were packing, packing, packing, up to the last minute and then on the airplane from Nashville to Charlotte, North Carolina. Thank you Tandavika, NgD, Manish, ladies, so many more... Vraja-raja, Visnu-caran(!), Abbhaya..... !
Plane was delayed for one hour in Charl. for repair, then 3-hours in transit, until mid-night, in Lima, then all night in the aluminum weiner, then 1/2-hour wait for luggage, then ... reception! - Mother Yugala, CmDD, Patrak, Rupanuga, Abhi., Raghun. 5AM por la manana. Despues we have stayed here in Rupanugas's care for curing the body. Eliminating the residual poison ivy inflamation, subcutaneous poisoning.
Basic principle is that we have to slow down. We can't do even as much as we are doing.
Tommorrow Japa Joe, but at 2.30AM, not 1.30AM.
O.K. Good night. 4-days of unanswered mail. No proper class on SB today but nice evening program. Japa only 5/32 rounds. Yesterday 12-noon to 6AM travel, that is 18-hours of work, plus 4-more before we left, that is 22-hours. At 8-hours/day we have completed like 3-days of work in one day, so we should rest Monday and Tuesday, and Wednesday we can get back to work.
However, lets work with more Krsna consciousness and more intelligence from now on!
Hare Krsna. SB 3.26, Ki Jai!
KRSNA book Ki Jai!
Hurray, Krishna! Hurray, Rama!
AG AG AG T SP! Paoho.... Here in the ASA Office at Hillcrest and Medical Center Parkway, behinds Toots, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA.

Our Calendars All updated for today.
Yesterday was 1-1/2 hours to buy the USA > Europe/India ticket! The robot offered $3,000 fare but we, Monkey/Piggee, didn't accept that, so we called Jet Airways direct and got hold of "Sharma". It was, "Sorry for the delay, sorry for the delay..." but finally after intense interventions from Uncle Gismos unlimited wealth of knowledge of machines, we got the ticket: $1865.67.

SRILA PRABHUPADA'S LOTUS FEET
ARE CERTAINLY SWEET,
YET FOR US FOOLS, OUR BRAIN IT COOLS,
TO KNOW THEY ARE ALSO LOGICAL.

HARE KRSNA!
AgtSP!!!! Paoho!!!!
10.22PM.... Just finished the letters until 4-days ago... Looks like a lot ahead so maybe we have to give shorter answers... Still poison ivy inflamation under the skin. Hmmm. Three more days on the steroids. They put a lot of pressure on our heart. Feel like heart being squeezed some times. Ha! Ha! Ha! When it's time to die it's time to die. Better to die chanting Hare Krsna in Maya's eye!!!
O.K. Take some rest. Lot's of work today done. Lot's!
AGTSP paoho. Now it is 8PM. We are getting headaches from the eyestrain. Giving birth to babies is also a strain. ... Material world. We answered up to 5-days ago. That's enough, no? Now evening program. Nitai gaurasundara looked at the worst rash and says that it is better and asked how many more days of steriod pills we have. Seems Krsna agrees they are a lot of stress on the heart.
We like answering letters.
O.K. Some Kirtana, Japa for Radha-Natabara. Krsna book in one hour on WebEx. We are reading the Kidnapping of Rukmini. How romantic! I hear that's what every girl dreams of, to be carried of by a strong, brave, handsome, clever, rich, attentive young fellow (with no co-wives).... Of course, to have co-wives with Krsna might even make the situation more fun. Personally we are still aspiring to be a small Monkey in Krsna lila or at times a butterfly at Srila Prabhupada's feet!!
