Hare Krsna, Hare Rama!!!

We talked for 15-minutes with Rama-giridhari Das, then 45-minutes with Abhirama-takura Das, then prepared for the Hawaii class. It was pretty good. Svayam bhuva Manu convinces Dhruva to stop snuffing Yaksas.

Somebody's got to do it. A Ksatriya expects restraint from his family and counselors. A Brahmana is self restrained, not a Ksatriya.

Cooked for Srila Prabhupada. Eliminated more lust than ever before!

Now mail and then NGD/FEP.

Hari Bolo!!

See you in our hearts.

Kids will say (AGTSP paoho!), "My Daddy can kill your Daddy"/

Kanistha adhikaris will say, "Allah can kill Jehovah"/

Maybe my Daddy doesn't want to kill your Daddy. Maybe Allah is Jehovah.

Unless we stop smoking cigar-ettes etc. we can never understand our Daddy's nor our God.

KRSNA! KRSNA! , KRSNA! KRSNA!, kRSNA kRSNA, KRSNA He!

= = = = =n=n == b= b= = = =

Just answered several letters. Now must chant more Japa and offer Srila Prabhupada tea and cookies. Then we have our article to write for Viplavah/Solaris. We will post it here for your advice.

Thank you!

We hope your Daddy doesn't want to kill my Daddy.

We hope we see everyone's service as a chance for me to increase my service!!

AGTSP

paoho

M/P here. HAre Krsna! It is so easy to get depressed while moving forward in devotional service and then take shelter of mundane Rasa eg. Banana split, Hot fudge sunday etc. Steadiness in spiritual life means steady relationships with Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON devotees, and others. Of course, in ISKCON there are different kinds of devotees ie. NOI-5.

Here we are thinking of our female disciples sometimes when we write. That is not too good because we are in Sannyasa ashrama, but they write and maintain service relationship, but we have to keep male devotees more in the center. Turn the Vyasa-asana a little to the boys and less to the girls.

Here we are all Monkey Warriors looking for Sita! Sankirtan!

I wish we had Godbrothers who were more interested in our Sankirtan focus eg. Prof. C. G. Jung and Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami.

O. K. chant some more rounds. SB class was combined with Boise devotees. Was nice. Lot of time on the Peru administration work, but in proportion.

Only nine letters unanswered. Some from [AGTSP] long time ago.

Was hot and humid all day and now a BIG THUNDERSTORM crashed in at 5.30PM. Now it is 5.48. It was like the sky was falling.

We really tried to focus in what Srila Prabhupada wanted, need, for Bhoga today and it is so satisfying to the heart.

Sometimes we get stomach aches. Management for example can give us stomach aches, and we try to solve the problem by quickly offering some convenient thing eg. V8 juice and honey, but today we just let our body suffer, maybe even die, and try to offer what Srila Prabhupada needs personally.

At 10AM we offered Kitri of rice and dahl, carrot, celery, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and tomato,,, and robust baked potatoe.

At 4PM we offered pudding with some walnuts.

We have been handling the paper work necessary to finish up the meetings yesterday. Computer gives us headaches if too much.

A lot of people are getting ready for Balarama purnima.

O.K. Lettuce sea if the sky clears enough for a walk with NGD and Vija Narrain Prabhu.

No books out today.

6.25 PM. AGTSP Paoho. Monkey / Piggy here.

HpS is almost dead again.

  1. Full Morning Program
  2. Japa. Brother Ass's throat is weak and so we have to chant slow rounds! 10-minures each!
  3. Prepare for classes.
  4. Monday ASA class. Dharma answers Maharaja Parikshit. BOEX
  5. BOEX meeting. Struggling to build a question bank.
  6. Latin American GBC Meeting. Many mechanical things. We shaved after regular two weeks while listening to some then --- "The Crisis in Peru". As you can expect some people got very emotional and making strong criticisms. We still have stomach ache. Ha! Ha!
  7. Recover..... Do light work. The Mercedes' newest problem is that the back right window won't close,. So all the rain will come in! We looked for a Manual. $40. We looked Krsna helped. We found a video how to take off the door panel cover. We had to imperovise but we go it off. It seems the motor cable is broke, but at least we got the window closed.
  8. Rested. Answered letters.

Seems like enough for one. Day now we go to NGD and chant. Hari bolo!

If you are struggle just to be a little devotee like us, then you are not alone. Don't be discouraged, no? Try to do more, but don't give up your little contribution. It helps!!!!

'are Krsna, mates!

Agtsp! Paoho. It is now 2.04AM here in the Boro! ISKCON M'boro.

NGD had to go to the Emergency Room for dizziness for CAT Scan. (Image Attached). They could not find much but he came home and went right to bed.

We were very unhappy with ourselves that we did not do enough yesterday. We even felt weak to chant! Yet, when we compared ourselves with Prabhu, it helps.

He is the same age as we are. He puts in more hours than we do but maybe it is not as intellectually or politically challenging. He took much better birth than we have.

Hmm?

Guess we are doing O.K. We rest and overindulge in Bananas and World Classical Literature. We feel that hurts Srila Prabhupada, but as soon as there is some energy or something we can dovetail in Krsna's service we do it.

We got our Social Security Income re-established. That is $500/mo for ASA.

We researched Cartoonists and their styles.

We prepared and did our Hawaii class - Two hours with references from the Britannica.

Shorted two months of mail.

Wrote four pages of hard copy DTC and answered all the URGENT mail.

Ooof! Guess it's O.K. Krsna is so kind, he accepts even a little service!!!!

Let us chant now.

You're not tired. You're thirsty. Drink six glasses of water a day.
