Hare Krsna!!

Tom Brown here!

AgtSP!!! He has saved us from going to bars for social life and drinking strong drinks with alcohol to be able to digest meat and fish, and then suffering terrible in the following morning.

We have very, very, strong daily program here: Chanting Japa before Mangala arati, some art, drawing. FMP. Regular SB classes and Evening program.

Bhoga offerings are very nice and then regular Prasadam with devotees. After Prasadam (during Prasadam!) many questions and comments.

Rohini Devi Dasi and Maria, Elisa (???) Canchacaja were visiting us for one, two days. We had very excellent discussions with them.

With all this contact it is a struggle to do our Carl Jung reading etc. but it will happen, and our developed Ashrama life, preparing for temple classes, is completely necessary because that consciousness is really what we have to offer to innocent people who are just beginning to remember their actual home existence, name and home.

So many more things to say, but can only really say them in response to letters here in the Blog from ASA relatives who especially are reading the Kapi Dhvaja and/or attending our Academy Morning Program!

Lettuce look at let her's!

SP!! p a o h o!!! 🙏

Thursday comes and Thursday goes and still we have 10 nice toes.

No one has written to us with the FMP or KDh Priority Codes, so I guess there are no priority messages.

Our individual priority of taking Prasadam only in the association of devotees. It is a little tough, fitting into the schedule and menu of the Ashrama here, but we are learning, and the cooks are learning what offerings the Lord likes, needs.

It means that we are rather weak some times, but that is good. We are weak. We push ourselves in different social positions with strong foods that artificially stimulate the liver, stomach etc. and then we get more work, but in the long run we are weaker both at the end of the week and at the end of the body.

Humble means to accept how much you can actually do, and accept the social, political, respect you receive for that, but fully conscious that the Lord who sees all things in private will reward you in private.

O.K.

Won't push to answer more Blog posts right now, but look to our other priorities, and see that that becomes the basis of answering Blog posts.

Hare Krsna!!

Hare Rama!!

Did the Kapi Dhvaja yesterday and giving lots of classes. Our internet is being improved, so we have a weak connection now, but did a few letters. Priority to those who use the Priority Code from the current day given in the FMP and each fortnight in the KDh.

Our eyes are gone.

Push them any more and it will be permanent damage.

We are actually changing the world.

Chanting all the time to see where to apply our efforts in Srila Prabhupada's army.

See you soon!!!

Hare Krsna, beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

It was really rewarding and thought provoking been there with all of you.

HpS - The same for us! Every day in Bhakti yoga is more intense!!

Chanting rounds in contact with mother nature and my spiritual god sisters and brother, it was really gratifying for our soul. We did some gem therapy with Yugala and Mitravinda. Both were very thankful specially Mitravinda.

HpS - We've mentioned before that we have allergy so often in the Spring, but one year we had a big pearl on our Japa beads and not allergy. The one you gave us kept falling off. 

At lunch on Saturday you mentioned that it will be good if Ananga manjari dd (M Hare Krsna's daughter) may participate in the movie.

HpS - Awk! Not "will be good" but "might be good". Ourselves we don't know how the movie is going to develop. The Director says the same. This kind of documentary starts with a plan but 90% of the content and structure can change after the first serious encounter with the real situation. Eg. if the Philemon Foundation want us to come to London and do a Semester Seminar everything changes!! Yet, the participation of Rupa anuga Prabhu, Prof. Behar, Ananga... would be so important.

I talked to her mother today and both agree. Nevertheless, they want to know, if she is going to perform Sita? or maybe a Raksasi, the color of the outfit, if it should be elegant or simple maybe a little script, or maybe you want another character, what is the main idea?.

And the dates for the filming.

Regarding transportation, she has a car but is only asking that the organization pay for the gas. And prasadam facilities.

HpS - Awk!

please tell them that we are still in the planning stages but will certainly introduce them into the Directors cognizance!!!!  Thank you.

Besides Palika, me, and so forth are working on the idea of your Sri Vyasa Puja 2022. So do you have any idea about the program itself. We will present the suggestion here and start working on it.

HpS - Only idea so far is that Subra devi dasi and Caitanya caritamrta Das are buying ticket so come at that time and participate. Also Priya-sakhi and Jagannatha Carana Das may come from Chile.

It seems that some simple method of accommodation would be nice.

It also seems that we have to beat again and again and again on the fact that it is our, HpS' vyasa puja, only in the perspective of practical glorifying all the members of Vyasadeva's parampara. As much you two as us three (HpS, TB, BW).

1. What do you want to do? What should you do?
2. What do you want to, should, do with other who have answered question 1?
3. Based on 1 and 2, what is a plan, schedule, content?
4. Based on 1, 2, 3 what resources, size of cake, do we need?

🐵 🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵

Again thanks Gurudeva thank you all so much for your association, for me was an undeserved boon to be there with Your very good self and the devotees.

Trying to be useful

CMDD

PS one of my cats Francesco is at the hospital :(

TB - Be sure he gets as much Prasadam and Hari Kirtan as possible. Is casi cierto su proxima vida va a ser ser humano!!!!!

We, Tom Brown, Buck White,

Got an audio message from Gandharva Das and Indira-shakti Devi Dasi by Whatsapp. We had been very worried that we had not heard from them for a long time, but they say that they are well.

🙂

Also a Whatsapp message from Laksmana-agra-ja Das:

Hare Krishna, Gurudev

Pamho, AGTSP

Regarding to Ram vijay, do you want me to read something on Sunday?

HpS - ASA - Yes!

I suggest send me an edited text to translate so my reading can be more fluent.

HpS - ASA - Can you look at the material we read on Saturday and use that? Vedabase.io, Ramayan... final battle, starting where the battle begins and then one good battle scene and skip ahead to the final fight. I can help. Call me.

I can do a very dramatic reading if you want.

ASA - We believe you.

Are we doing mangalartik in the temple on sunday? No.

Not going at all on friday? Yes, not going, but hope to do more on Govardhana puja.

Much better if somebody else play Lord Rama and other one Ravana and so on depending how many characters would be involved

Can be just dramatic reading not acting

We used to do that when I was a monk for easter

We used to take the bible and different people read the parts of the final pastime of Jesus. And one narrator etc

HpS - Who else can join us? For the second part? Gandharva Das, but he will not be there in person. On Sunday we suggested Srimati Raman-reti Devi Dasi do the Lamentation of Mandodari at the end of the section.

We talked with him after reading Krsna book and seems we have time and resources to organize a nice dramatic reading on Sunday!! We can keep the work and then develop it with puppets, actors over three years and then turn it over to the next group of devotees!!

We tried to film New Ashoka van yesterday and got part of it, but ArtDas has to leave then. Today we tried a gain and I think we got it all in five clips, including the canal from the river splashing everywhere on the property as it does every Tuesday.

Our stomach is much better. In Nashville we were honoring Prasadam alone. Here we have the association of devotees. We sit together and take Lord's Prasadam. Seems that we will be able to become very controled.

We did a PPTX for Durga puja today. We will try to publish the link. We discussed the term Vaisnavi in ISKCON etc. We have more and more PowerPoinT (PPTX) shows for festivals.

Then we joined the Board of Examinations to work on the questions for Bhakti sastri for the last module of the BG.

Full day.

Very nice.

Refinished a book case.

Good night!

😴

AGTSP paoho

CMDD left today. JPD came to visit for two days, and Raul came for the day with Maria and began to film DTC-UT. ArtDas came and will stay also.

Rehearsed and sent the recording to Manipur of commemorative for BSDM and will use it in the DTC-UT.

We have been taking anti-biotics for thee days for intestinal infection and we have stomach ache right now but are not sure if it is from and infection or the anti biotics.

It is just the same for you, no?

Abhiseka is traveling with family in Bulgari and probably also go diarrhea or ear infection or something.

This is a guaranteed place of fear and suffering. The thing we can do is take these austerities for Krsna, then they are very valuable!

Thank you Krsna for our sacred diarrhea! !!

Hare Krsna,

Chant one round and take rest!!!!!
