Letters to the editor

          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 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!

Tom Brown, PhD (candidate).  ASA

Hari Bolo, Prabhus,

             AGTSP     paoho.     Just finished all the Letters up to two days ago.   In the middle of the process we started getting strong chest pains left and right.  Hmmm!    Very funny, curious, ecstatic.  Dimished a lot.   Maybe heart attack or more likely bad posture from using laptop on the lap....

        ..... Still in Boise.  Outside our window, part of same "U" shaped building in which is our room, we see the Temple and other residential rooms.  Cars parked and many devotees, kids, coming with preparations for Janmastami, dramas ....!    Now some Japa.  We have  24/32 done and then at 6.30PM  regular SB Sanga with Srinivasa, Sri Hari, Upendra and others.     Back to Godhead.   About 95` F. during the days here.    There is nothing to be had in the 14-world but the Name.  It has filled the soul of Bhaktivinode Thakura....

   Hare Krsna!                 A G T S P !     (((paoho))) Well, still alive. We were seduced many times by "success".  We had good conversations with Ananta-rupa and Laksmna Prabhu about great successes and opportunities for success in our plans for education.  We have to renounce those and chant - or plans!

O.K.  Answer letters.
