Hare Krishna, Beloved and esteemed Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet,

HpS - Lettuce feet.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

HpS - Lotus feet!

Bg. 18.75

vyāsa-prasādāc chrutavān

etad guhyam ahaṁ param

yogaṁ yogeśvarāt kṛṣṇāt

sākṣāt kathayataḥ svayam

In this most auspicious day I am feeling completely grateful for having the opportunity to Glorify the Guru-parampara and being proud of my spiritual ancestors!!

• Lord Caitanya, The Supreme Personality of Godhead, appeared in Kali yuga with the heart of Srimati Radharani, the best servant of Sri Krishna, as a mother who gives shelter with the Holy Names, helped by our great grand uncle, the Glorious Nityananda Prabhu, showering the mercy without discrimination.
• The Six Goswamis wrote everything, witnessing the most intimate pastimes as Manjaris, little girls willing to serve. Presented the complete science of Krishna Consciousness, for us fallen souls, instruction manuals to go back home!!
• Krisnadas Kaviraj, presented the mood, so we can understand the Acaryas!!
• And Narottama das Thakur sang it everything, so we fall in love with them!!
• Visvanath Cakravarti Thakur, studied and commented on the Srimad Bhagavatam, sowing the seeds for next generations!!
• Baladeva Vidya Bhusana expanded his work, ASA - And wrote Govinda Bhasya!
• And Jagannatha das Babaji gave us the Yoga pita [Place of Lord Caitanya's birth], so we can remember the unlimited mercy.
• Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur, knew that the mercy must expand throughout the world, so he saw it, he wrote the instructions, to show the way!!
• Gaurakisora das Babji didnt know how to read, but he was full of Prema Bhakti!! He gave it to his disciple
• Simha Guru Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati, who defeated big scholars at an early age, with his Nadia Prakash he inaugurated the Brihat mridanga, giving the tools and guidance to his magnanimous son,
• His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who with unlimited mercy, left Vrindavan at sixty nine years old to come and preach to Pashchatya desa tarine,

Where he met and robbed the heart of a Chinese monk, born in Guam, disguised as a Super clever Californian student, seeking the ultimate truth,

HpS - Well M A Y B E ! 😏

...while dancing and playing the flute, helped by Tom Brown, Uncle Gismo, Monkey and Piggy, His Holiness Hanumatpresaka Swami,

Who wrapped everything and pass it away in such an avant garde way that it becomes super tasty and funny. Easy to digest and explain!!

So ladies and gentleman, watch the flags, hear the music, feel the scents of Golokera Prema dhana, listen carefully, this message will go on forever, nigama kalpa taror… Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

Thank you Gurudev!!

Your insignificant disciple,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Thank you for nice offering to Guru param para. We can really suspect that we have very little Bhakti, and because of that we are eating too much, and suffering the results. We have many faults, but with the mercy of Srila Prabhupada !!! we, all, are able to stay in His ISKCON and do some service that is slowly defeating our bad qualities and augmenting our good qualities. Even getting a little taste of the substantial nature of the Holy Names.

Of course, we can only write nice Vyasa-puja offerings by the mercy of other devotees, so thanks to them also, eternally.

Now it is 9.42AM.

Was a good day with Mangala arati etc. Class by LaD, then 45" discussion of plans etc. with Srinivasa. News from Abhirama thakura Das.

Going for walk in the strange pathway along the river with Vijaya.

Friday program with Radha Natabara,

but we get headaches and eyestrain so we have to quit now.

We can be more and more filled with youthful energy if we reside in Dvaraka and daily see Sri Krsna as He goes to the Yadu dynasty assembly house or while doing other things with His motherly queens, brave sons, and wise ministers.

Hare Krsna!!

6.23PM.... Long, hard, productive day. We finished, cut, folded, copied, stamped, addressed a 6-page letter to Subal et al in Richmond. We tried to distribute a scanned copy here but the print-through from writing on the back of each page makes it look bad.

Good letter. Lots of pasted stuff.

Then we answered the mail and cook for Krsna...

Now local Kirtan and short class at 8PM with Radha Natabara's Yatra.

Where is Sita?

She must be really worried that Rama is unhappy without Her!

Look for Her! Give Her the Ring, and answer Her questions about Rama and Laksmana.

We attach one page of the letter as a sample.

Brown Tom

and

White Buck

here!

AGTSP!!!

paoho/bw..

We want to write more (and also not write more), but the decision is being taken by our occular orbiters, eyeballs.

Dead.

Head

Starting to ache.

99% good day.

Alarm went off at !!! 3.37AM. WHY??? We set it for 2.37AM . . . Bath, laundry, FMP... Ah, ha!!! It is Daylight Savings Time. Our clock reset it self.

👺 - Trust me, I am a robot.

Did a lot of work on the PPTX for tonight at 9PM for San Diego class.

Walking/Talking with NgD.

Such nice reports in the letters today, no?

Krsna should be able to do SO much with efforts like these.

We never harvest in the same season we plant.

Seems like we can only become pure devotees after we are dead. This world is so dull. Maybe we get association that will kill us. The Braja vasis got that. Krsna "left them" and they were all dead living people.

-

Hope Abhirama, Nanda-raja and everyone are getting GREAT results from their special mercy. Becoming devotees on the same level as Narada Muni.

TB/BW, AgtSP!!! paoho... 🐒 🐖 🌳 🌴🌴

We had pretty good Sankirtan today.

Of course, last night after our walk we were hit very quickly by the strongest headache we have had in our life. Maybe impacted lower bowels. Maybe not. (Ha! Ha! Hare!). This body is an embarrassment for boys or girls.

. .We tried to rest, do light work, and by 4.30AM it was down to 50% and is down to 5% now, but still ready to spring back if we spend any more time on this machine.

• Listened to the Hawaii class. Very nice.
• Wrote a five of six page letter to Subal sakha and Krsna pramodini Devi Dasi in Rich Mond.
• Fixed our brake light etc. etc.

Pandemic and the Future of ISKCON Temples

Our theory (Brown and White, after asking Uncle Gismo) is that this Karuna virus is the mercy of God on ISKCON and the world, so that people will stop destroying the world (to soon) with industrialization, and start moving back to local living and high thinking.

Science worked liked expensive asses to fight it and show their might,

but now the little natural reaction of the virus to mutate,

and all their effort may go out as trash.

People are starting to live together again as two and three generation families.

Buy bigger houses.

Buy a whole block and take out the backyard fences!!

Base you life in a village. Any visitors can stay in the guest house outside the village gate for two weeks if there is a pandemic.

ISKCON temples should obtain orchards and start to move in that direction with alacrity.

Also, we Tom Brown and Buck White, consulting Uncle Gismo, propose that when the 17-year Cicada cycle brings those noisy devils out this year in Tennessee there is a 75% chance that they will sterilize the whole local atmosphere (maybe five States) from the virus and the material scientists will be forced to be a lot more humble and say that they really need some broader look at nature, that their system is just not including all this reality.

If it happens,

Remember you heard it first,

Here, at the ASA's

😲Science for Simpletons😬

That's all the letters we can do now. PCTDas is responding by Whatsapp. It is 6.47PM now. Must be the vaccine. No headache now, but weak and little nausea all day.

Krsna still drops service in our lap.

So we try to do it.

Actually rather sick, but not much pain, just reduced capacity, do what we can do, and realize that it is eternal.

Same for you, no?

You are a great hero.

Just staying associated with this movement. Struggling to get 16-rounds done, 4-principles, fasting on Ekadasi...

Then ... play with Krsna.

"Come on Krsna! Let's play ball with everyone. Let's listen to a new story! Let's help people with their work to build a better Braja!"

Mad, Mad Monkey,

Mad, Mad Mind,

Makes us a little bit,

Narrow and blind.

Snkrtn Rprt

Japa, Bath, Puja,

FMP

. . . . Nap, pa, pa.

Packing, 1-hour for Karuna-virus inoculation.

It made us proud to be Gringos! 🚀 It was very well organized. Army and National Guardsmen were there, and everyone cheerful and doing there job. We had to go through 6-check points, so when we took the inoculation it was like a religious ritual of something.

. Hallelujah!

. Koruna virus! Then Kroger's for potatoes, frozen orange juice (for popsicles (Maya!)), disinfectant, oranges, light bulbs. Post office [line was nine-people (HK, HR)] to mail Bh. Cithkala's beads and back home, back to Hill Head!

. . . We gave two LOBs with NIOS brochures to the inoculation lady.

0-0-0 Lunch for Lord. (Ate too much).

Laundry, house keeping, walking/talking with NgD.

Burfi from Harilila Das and M. Madhavi Devi Dasi, Cookies and letter from Caitanya and Purusottama Gupta.

Checked the Whatsapp, Text, and Blog mail.

Will try to answer some of the letters!

Our Maya, as Sannyasis, is just to tell everyone, "Chant Hare Krsna and let it all go to destruction".

Here in the DTC with you! We think of CMDD, then ARTD, then .... how everyone will react if we mention this name and then that name. It is very funny. It is only sane belonging to any community if we all have one lover, no?

Krsna!

1/2 round to chant.
