AGTSP    paoho.   We are not mad.      We are no mad.    We are not mad.

           And you?

Are you also not mad!

                      Very not madder than we are not mad!

Ha!              ha!                      HAW!                         We shall sell buttons with big, big, sinister faces of Lord Jagannatha and Baladeva with fangs. (Little fangs).  We saw a picture like that from Puri.                I guess They have those in the mood or Lord Nrsmha deva.      He was Krsna gone            MAD              !      Grrrrrrrrrrr!     Nobody messes with my devotee!!!!!!!!!           Now we get some liquid for Brother Ass and have an ecstatic Srimad Bhagavad gita class!                (Because we are not mad!    And only sane people read Srimad BG, that's a well know fact.  Mad people don't read the BG.         I mean what could they get out of it???

Well I guess thay could get a "Hari He" perspective on life from Arjuna: "Hari, He! Help!".           And Hari did.  Put it all in proportion and the fig the twigs!  Snuffed the devils!)

AGTSP   paoho......    We came to Franklin!     Our sever heart arhythmias stopped after lunch.  Maybe we just had a salt shortage.   Pulse is pretty regular and strong now, but we still have some chest pains on the left side.  Maybe just left overs.

Hari Bol!

Hari Bol!

How much longer do we have?    Do you see signs of leaving soon?   Makes you think what you are doing should have a lasting content to it. You won't get a chance to do it again.

Here is nice letter and our answer from/to Partha sarathi Das.

 
PSD- Pamo agtSP! JAYA!!! Hope your well. Sounds like an amaing program!!! Wish I was there with you. What kind of cake was it? Did monkey and piggy get a piece? Yes the mind brings problems. But Krsna always arranges nice memories at the time of death for his devotees. A friend of mine your godbrother HG Syamlal Pr. has two brain tumors, cannot remember anything but Srila Prabhupada.... so lucky in my opion. Guess this is what we strive for at the time of death, just remember our spiirtual master, and in that way, we are remembering Krsna through His representative.
 
Just gives more impetis for going home this life. Who wants to stay here? More important to bring people with. Funny thing in Brhat Bhagavatamrta, when Gopal Kumar reaches the abode of Maya, the worshipable Deity is Krsna as Mohini Murti..... he is asked if he wants to do puja... and says no, and prays with all his heart... interesting that the last place to stop before Godhead, the worshipable Deity is the Supreme Lord in His form as a women???? What do you think?
 
I know Misra Prabhu, he is wonderful. Sure I can help him if he wants. I am not so advanced, but will try. I thought you were printing our last email exchange to your blog, I didn't see it. If not, you can print this one.
 
Sankirtan is going well, did some Kazak BG's the other night after I gave a short class. Today giving a sankirtan class to 200 Devotees.. pray for me it goes well...
 
Here are 2 nice verses:
“Victory ! Victory ! Victory !

I behold something wonderful: all the inauspiciousness of the living entities is destroyed, no one is going to hell, Yamaraja has no more work to do and the effects of Kali yuga have ceased to exist. This is because all over the world an increasing number of Lord Visnu’s devotees are singing His names while dancing and playing musical instruments.”

Nammalvar, Divya-prabandha, Tiruvaymoli 5.2.1
 
 
 
 
kalyananam nidhanam kali-mala-mathanam pavanam pavananam
patheyam yan mumuksoh sapadi para-pada-praptaye procyamanam
visrama-sthanam ekam kavi-vara-vacasam jivanam saj-jananam
bijam dharma-drumasya prabhavatu bhavatam bhutaye krsna-nama

"May Sri Krsna's blessed name, which is a reservoir of all joy and auspiciousness, the destruction of Kali-yuga's sins, the most purifying of all purifying things, the saint's food as he traverses the path to the spiritual sky, the pleasure-garden where the voices of the greatest saints, philosophers, and poets play, the life of the righteous, and the seed of the tree of religion, bring divine auspiciousness to you all."
 
HpS -- Jaya! AGTSP paho. We were going to post the last letter but got drowned by many things. So we for sure post this one, but if post directly there then we can answer there and is more secure. There are several Marathon winners on the Blog. Of course, most of them speak Spanish but that should be a problem. We got a fire here!
Today we finished updating our Pada-padma Chapter Study Guide for the Bhakti-vaihbava program that is trying to get stared in Houston. Was lot of work with the Study Guides are quite nice now. Useful. The updated version is at: www:jayarama.us/archives/pdp-csg.doc
 
O.K. We go to the Blog and post this!

          A G T S P !
             [paoh]

Sunday, 8.48AM.    We just came back from the ASA cave.  Now we are in Nitai-gaurasundara Prabhu's living room. M. Matsya is cooking Indian breakfast for everyone, (for our breakfast we had milk-banana and one homemade cookie in the blender offered to Lord Nrsmhadeva.) and talking with her relation who got in from Dallas at 9PM last time. Her relation is with her husband and daughter. They will continue driving very soon because they have to drop the young lady off at Duke University so she can continue with her school....

 ...and we have heart a-rythmia. Usually our heart makes one nice beat, pump, every second, but now it is making one good profound push every 3 seconds and a lot of flutters and half strokes in between.  That causes the chest pains, weakness etc. Showed Nitai-gaurasundara Ji and he asked why it was happening. I said I didn't know but I was craving banana blended with milk which is potassium and calcium. He nodded and suggested I might need an EKG (electro cardio gram).

   Makes us really think that at any moment we can get choked out of this body. We hope we go to Goloka to help Krsna and all of this friends take care of the cows. We can be monkeys and give the warning when tigers are in the vecinity.

         O.K.    Let's look at the letters. Chant Japa. Call friends (free on Sunday). Go to Franklin for a few days. Have 24-hour kirtana/symposium, Rathayatra, NIOS accounting meeting.

Hari Bol!     8.58AM (R-5/36)

Hari Bolo!    (Brown Tom here!)       A G T S P !            paoho....  & bw.  Well, we made it to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, our ASA Office.   Was great!  Ten-long stimulating hours: Two airplane rides, three automobile rides.

    Mmmm!       Mmmm!             Yum!        Yum! !        !      "We don't expect it to happen but if the windows pop-open and all the air is sucked out of the airplane, like we are flying at 35,000 feet, like Denver is only 5,000 feet, El Alto en La Paz is only 13,000 feet, then while the blood is coming out of your ears and eye sockets taken the oxygen mask that has fallen from the sky and put it over your mouth and breath normally."

Ha!      Ha!              Ha!   Breath normally!     Yeah, sure.     "And we know that you don't know who the guy next to you is and you'll never see him again but try not to look over his shoulder at his Tom Cruise movie that he is playing on this cell phone or he might feel uncomfortable.  Just stare ahead at the blank seat in front of you for the next five hours and pretend you are practicing Za Zen".....    

So, we got here.  It was a pretty good trip.    We have learned so much how to do these Yajnas   We left books in the seat-back bag on both flights.   We looked for people to talk to in all the airports.  America is so impersonal and we are so solitary by nature, but we got a lot of computer work done.

We still have to be careful of over loading our eyes.

Now we are starting to get connected with Nitai-gaurasundara, Abhiseka, Rufus, Musa Prabhus et al.   M. Matsay and Manjari are out of the house for an Indian wedding.  It seems very important that you dress in the propr fashion!

Hare Krsna.        We kind of put our stuff, plans, projects, partners, commanders down on a big sheet of paper as ideas come while we are chanting extra rounds and then put them in more and more harmonius relations and then plan out th work (and play) for each day!

                            So, lets read the Letter to the Blog!   Robot says we have letters from four days ago to today.       We are your servants!
