HpS - ASA - AGTSP Paoho... Please the Kapi Dhvaja Priority Code (KDPC) from the current Kapi Dhvaja!!!!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances

I hope you are in better health

I would like to inform you the itinerary of my travel to the USA. I have bought a ticket in Interjet from Lima to Dallas. The day of depart is February 1st at 6:30 AM. I arrive to Mexico at 12:00 PM. My flight to Dallas is at 18:30 PM. So, I don't know if I could visit the devotees or do a mini tour in Mexico city. Would you recommend it? Or it's better to stay at the airport?

Then, I arrive to Dallas at 21:15 PM. I will stay in the residence of the University of North Texas in Denton (1 hour from Dallas) until February 23rd. After that date, I'm planning to stay 2 weeks more in Dallas, but I don't have any accommodation. I want to visit the Radha Kalachandji temple and the gurukulas (if there are). So, please I would like to ask you if you know a place where I can stay until March 11th.

Thanks for all your mercy.

Trying to serve,

Rukmini dd

AgtSP!!! Paoho & bw.

Brown and White here.

HpS - Is a pretty good guy. Got a lot of work to do to become perfect, but, Hey!, who are we to criticize anyone. We are not even human beings!

-0-0-0-0-

Yesterday he cooked Kitri for Lord Nrsmha deva, but didn't measure the oats to carefully. Ooops. One liter of Kitri. Then, because his mother trained him not to waste a single drop of food, he tried to honor the WHOLE THING and made Brother Ass, you Body, Buddy, as sick as a dog! Knocked the Pitta and Vayu right off their rockers.

Today, the hiccups have gone. Got some work and rounds done! But still nor digesting well. Today we tried more water in the Kitri and it came to 750 ml, but less heavy. Still little trouble digesting, but NOTHING like yesterday.

O.K. 5.31PM maybe we can go walking with Dr. Desai and maybe NGD will get back in time. Sun sets at 4.45PM and it has been raining today.

We answered the letters with the Priority Code, but AMD used one from two issues ago and it changed today!

Haw! Haw! Haw!! "You no read us, We no read you", Joe Banana (an evil Chinese guy who kind of dominate ASA at times.

Hari bolo!

Hare Krsna.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!! Paoho......

Brother Ass is still very low on energy. We shook him up off the floor where he sleeps and started chanting some Japa. Then we found that our www.JayaRama.us web page had problems and got into a technical exchange with the web server technician, a Mataji from India. Ho! Hum!

That was solved and off to Mangala arati with fewer rounds tHan we hopeD to have done.

Study for class ... but ...

F

A

L

L ASLEEP and miss class!!! (Yet felt very rested. Have been giving class every day!)

Japa, Japa, Japa, Ekadasi, Ekadasai.... Four rounds/hour. Strong, struggling. Had to get our letter off about the situation in Boise management. Chance to discuss Female Diksa Guru (FDG [Ha! Ha! Ha!]) with Basu gosh Das and his view of ISKCON administration.

Two intense dialog chats.

Four rounds/hour!!!

Tired! Fasting for Ekadasi.... O.K. Peanuts in the shell and a can of frozen orange juice and a story from the hell (historical novel).

That rests the intellect.

Back to Japa! Also, scanned the Yahoo mail and the Blog mail. Answered like six Blog mails. Could you have done more??? ???

No...

Even now weak and with headache.

See no sanity in practically any institution. Maybe Krsna is preparing us for the end of institutions - A nuclear war, a great plague.

Hmmm. If that happens and we never meet again in this movie remember what Srila Prabhupada said:

Devotee: Prabhupada, what if there is a nuclear war and all this modern civilization is destroyed??!!

Prabhupada: Oh, very nice, then we would not have to put up with this headache of preaching, we could just chant Hare Krsna in peace!

THIS WORLD IS A PUPPET SHOW! CHANT HARE KRSNA AND BACK BEHIND THE SCENERY AGAIN, EACH OTHER WE SHALL KNOW!

Peek a Boo!!!

The Boeing 777 has two engines.

Each one produces about 130,000 pounds of thrust.

We got a seat on one (the 777, not one of the engines). It was about to take off. Chocks-off, Push-back, Rotate.

Guess it rotated at about 140 mph.

Then Bertram Russell, the Duck, who was sitting on my right, asked the Baboon on his right if he minded if he smoked. The Baboon said, "Yes", it disturbed him greatly. He could not breath properly!

Bertram said that he also did not smoke, that it was the same with his breathing, but he wanted to know if the Baboon was a clean fellow.

"Oh", said the Boon, "Good question. Glad you asked".

They then began to take off their shoes and sit up in Ardha-cakra-asana and chant.

Hare Krsna.

Hare Krsna. . . .

Hare Krsna.

Hare Krsna. . . Hare Rama.... Hare Rama.... and the plane went faster and faster.

"Do you know where you are going", asked Duck?

"Well, of course," said Boon, "don't you"?

"No, not really", said Duck, "we are just following the Anjana Suta Academy instructions given in their Blog".

Oh, said, Boon. What do they say?

Boil some potatoes, add 1/3-cup of p-nut butter and three tablespoons of oats, and boil-it, -D.

Then - B?

Let it cool a little and offer it to Lord Nrsmhadeva, -D

Then - B

If He leaves any remnants, we honor them and get amazing, feathered, magnificent powers, to spread the Sankirtan movement of Srila Prabhupada, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami.

Everyone will go to Krsna and be able to convince others to go there also, Goloka, His planet. For example, take for example, we live in a place called Moo Freeze Burro. We get up by 4AM and sit by the riverside and chant the sacred, 15th century, Bengali, Guru astakam and dance in ecstasy before our altar to God. - D

Isn't it cold -B?

No, it is inside a building, the river is an electronic river. Then we read the KRSNA book or other BBT books and then we go out and Krsna sends innocent people to hear the Gospel of Sri Caitanya! Hari Bolo!

Recently one lady came over from the Boy's and Girl's Club across the hollow and asked if we could come and talk about God to all the Staff and Kids. We said, "Yeah", and went back with her and told them that when God came to India about 5,000 years ago, He showed His very intimate abode, forest.

Yeah, He has shown His abode, like heaven, in the Koran or Bible where He is called Visnu, but there He has to be THE KING and everybody goes, "Uuuu! Aaaaa!" and bows to Him and can't understand that it is Love that attracts Him and not respect.

"What is love, " asked one of the Kids.

"Well, says I (Bertram Duck), you can experience it your self. I'll chant a Mantra, Hymn, that I got from my Bishop, Guru, you listen, and then you chant it, and I'll listen. That way we can share the picture.

"A mantra, a hymn, is like a picture made of sound, You just listen and then you can see God, Krsna's, own abode.

So, we chanted for about one hour and then somebody had a question, "What do the words mean"?

-D, "Hare" is "Oh, Hara". She is like Quan Yen, Mary. She is the merciful Mother who connects us to the Father, "Krsna", and "Rama" is the Logos, Teacher, Guru, who connects us to God.

-K, what is the difference, if they both connect you to God?

-D, one is like the Mother and the other is like the Brother. They both know the Father, but they are just different ways to love Him.

-K, Oh. Some of us go home now. Can we teach the Mantra to our family?

-D, Yes,

-K, Thank you. See you soon??

-D, Yes, yes, we are just in the trailer home across the dell.

-D, so that's how it happens. The Boy's and Girl's Club, the old shopping mall across the street.

Hmmm! Hrrrrrng! Clack...

They all chant'n Hare Krsna, and never look'n back.

============-=-==============-=-===========

Uncle Gismo - Imagine your neighborhood all becoming devotees. Don't think it won't happen! Don't think it won't happen!!!

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

I wish I were in Houston with all of U.

I have been realizing that in all these years of association. I haven't taken advantage of your kindness, intelligence, humor, mercy. And whenever I have a bad experience or even a bad day I just recall one of your phrases or I listen to You and immediately I gain faith again.

Thank you Gurudeva for all your support and inspiration. I feel so fortunate to have you as my Spiritual Master. I wanted many times to drift apart. But you with your jokes, intelligence. With just one word, one sight. You enthuse me to continue. And in a way I do not know why.

Thanks for the great soul that you are.

Happy Sri Vyasa Puja

Lo quiero y admiro más Gurudeva

HpS - AGTSP!!!!! We are such a burden on him!!!! Yet, just like you say, we just chant one line from a Bhajan while we are doing our normal activity, such as washing or cooking, then ... we are happy.

It all accumulates, year after, after year, after year and some day you will dance with Krsna!!!

Maybe something like this?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoHlrQScWl0

We stop chanting because we become accidentally seduced by "other projects" or because we chose to do something else: Accidental fall-down, intentional fall-down.

This world is a shadow of the real world.

We don't have to stay here.

It will go on without us.

Renounce all activities unless they promote Harinama anukirtanam, according to your vow under the lotus feet of Krsna!

~ "I can't chant! It is easier to write", TB

~ HpS - You can chant. If you can breath, you can chant. Maybe only within the core of your heart, hrdaya kandare (CC 1.1.4), but let all else slide. Any act that is not based on, generated from, Harinama anukirtanam is without foundation.

~ "Other devotees may have other basis eg. book distribution", TB?

~ HpS - Yes, we think so, but they are related. How can you distribute books that preach Harinama-anukirtanam unless you engage in the process or are in favor of developing it.

Good bye!

Today we die, to Goloka fly.

Yesterday . . . we talked with Abhirama Das for one hour about Dr. Samaresha B. visit to Peru, Solaris, Vyasapuja in Chosica. We were very exhausted from all this travel. Little recovery.

Our Base Camp . . . . is pretty good. Met with Tandavika and Ng Das yesterday. Cold!!! Dark!!!! Lonely (not bad!). Reviewed the Blog mail. Lot of Vyasa puja offernings!! Several URgent letters. We don't respond to them urgently, only those with the Kapi Dhvaja Priority Code.

Some mail in Yahoo. Will try to get to it.

Hare Rama!!!
