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.

Just dance with Krsna!

Don't have any other ideal?

Today we had our program on line and packed to go to Chosika.

We crushed the Olympic barricades and picked up Mathuresa and Mataji at the door of the Wilson Temple. Then the Caturatma drove like the devil and got us to chosika by 8. Srnagara arati, very beautiful.

Gurupuja and Parikrama around the hall.

Tickle tackle we crow and cackle with funny friendly folks.

We are in Lima. We traveled from Buenos Aires on Wednesday. The Pan American games just started here. 5,000 participants and 500,000 spectators (and gamblers and tiplers). The internet crashed last night and has not come back. We could not join the Ministry of Education meeting.

so painful.

and we have been involved in mediating management conflicts that involve GBC, Zonal Supervisor and National Council.

Stomach aches but excellent results.

Excellent progress on Education and the Sacred, shopping, devotees care.

so many nice devotees here.

must stop now. Using devotee's hot spot, cellular data.

Hare Krsna. There is immortality for those who give love to others, everyone. 😀🐷 🦍
