Hare Krsna! Hare Rama! Jaya Sri Vrndavana Dhama!

They are 1.48AM, in Room 227 of the Krsna-Balarama Temple Guest House. We are Bhakta Tom, Bhakta Buck, HpSwami et al.

How are you?

Our eyes are failing. Our knees are failing. Our respiration ain't so great, but our intelligence is pretty good, Hari Bolo, Hari Bolo, Kirtaniya Sada Harih!

Same

for

you?

We see the image of Sri Sri Jagannatha Swami on our little book-bag lying beside us on our bead. He is very beautiful.

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

We have not started any rounds yet.

We feel pretty good. We only served some fruit Prasadam last night.

Hare Krsna Hare Rama.

We are too weak to get up and wash our hands and mouth and sip a little water.

Sarva-bhauma Bhattacarya accepted Prasada without taking bath!

We are chanting, writing, without taking bath. Our energy should come in a little while.

Today we go to Radha-Kunda.

"Let your brain make plans based upon constant chanting of the Maha-mantras at the feet of your Spiritual Master, Acharya."

LIVE IN A BUBBLE OF TIME AND SPACE,

DOMINATED BY THE LOTUS FEET OF HIS DIVINE GRACE.

CHANT THE MAHA-MANTRAS THREE

AND THE SERVICE OF RADHA AND KRSNA YOU WILL SEE.

2.05 CHANT JAPA. ANSWER MAIL. MORE DTC LATER.

Hare Krsna!!! AGtSP!! TB, here. We are in Pune Temple still. Our flight to Delhi was cancelled at the last minute!! We had to look for a new flight and only thing available is through Ahamadabad. Leave 2.30PM arrive 7.30PM. Then we'll go directly to Vraja!

We are there until Friday, then we go to Delhi for Programs.

While we are in Del/Vraja you can call Sri Hari Das or Harsh to get in touch with us.

We are posting this stuff on Twitter regularly.

Hare Krsna. We finally rested today. Our body was very exhausted from the MOE symposium but also very good work!!

O.K. We look at the letters.

Hare Krsna, AGTSP!!! Paoho. Monkey/Piggy here!!! Did you like the KDh??

Still in the Pune Temple. It is about 20,000 acres and 100,000 people come each evenign for Gara Arati. Sataksi came last night with here new husband. He is a very nice person.

Each day we do 10.30-1.30 and 4.30-6.30 with the Board of Examiners. It is starting right now. We are working on redesigning the Examinations for the 4-degree program. Atul Krsna Das, Gauranga-darshana Das, Laksmni mauni and Prasanta devi dasi's, Adi-purusa Das, one excellent Indian B'cari who s name we forget and others visiting. They are all very erudite, excellent devotees who have taught hundreds of BhS et al programs. Very interesting hearing about all kinds of different students.

It is very very hard mental work. We have to use many techiniques to avoid headaches. Our ideas are appreciated sometimes and rejected others. Same for others, but no one becomes angry or unenthusiastic. Present again or accept the difference.

O.K. Here we go again.

Radha-natha Swami liked our lecture in Eco Village. About 1,000 people for his lecture thing morning. Pune we secnd in th Kristmas marathon.

Sunday we leave a 5AM for Delhi.

Peru letter not yet received by me.

Monkey Piggy answer:

Yes! ☹ I don't know what has happened with them after I started this travel. Only 5% contact. When I hear this it gives me INTENSE stomach pain. I have to ask, "Am I doing my best? Am I choosing right priorities?"

Only one day and I am 75% adapted to local Asrama function! Not an easy task. 🐘

Spent two hours with Gauranga Darshan Das Brahmacari. He is biggest curriculum development scholar in ISKCON. Over 6-hundred pages of didactic material. Tomorrow and next day two hours more including his students and teachers. 😲

Can't use someone else's phone here! No towers!

Help!

Hare Krsna. Internet may fail at any moment so we write fast.

We are in Gujurat at Atmarama Das school. It is in the country with 16-acres, 50-cows and 120 students. It has dropped a lot since when it started there was only his school with English media and now there are 50. People have become much more materialistic and want High Tech educaiton for the children. Dont want them to work with cows!

Is a lot of stress for us.

Packed with travel and programs.

Now so many devotees want us to join their programs ans squeeze in air trip here and there but our body cannot handle it. We live on the edge of reality with the full morning program as a life and death choice. We are waiting for Rama-giridhari Das to come back from an unexpected trip to organize local Rathyatra. We may miss our trip to the Eco-village.

Hare Krsna!

The Holy Names and Guru-padma are our only shelter.

Internet has not been too good, so our ASA daily workshops are not too good.

In the time between the five programs a day we work on the essay for the Gaudiya-matha program.

It has come off pretty good - writing academic papers in the middle of a rowboat in the middle of the ocean.

O.K. Close here before the inter net goes.

Yahoo blocked our mail but seems o.k. now.

Insanity in a bag. Ha! Ha! Hare!

Another endless day. Up at 11.30pm. Answered 23-letters including sending itinerary to GM. Then Yahoo blocked my mail because they thought some one had hacked it from India. Took about one hour to resolve that. Them out from 8.30-6.30 for home, academic, temple programs and finally three hours dancing in Rathayatra.

Good night
