Monkey and Piggy (Dhruva, Dhanesvari, Gaura, Suryayani, Sarasvati, LAD, M. Rama-lila, Rai-ramananda, Lila-sri,.... Ananda, Joel, Purandara...), 3.42PM, ISKCON Arrequipa, Sitting in our Campsite with our things well set-up Calendar set doing our Letters to the Editor.

At 4.00PM we have to bathe (wash clothes (Kirtan)), then Tilak, Tea-time, brisk walk to the park (take books (get the triple-heaters opened)), Japa, 6.30PM Gaura-arati (GoToMeeting (NOI Symposium (1/2)), Japa and rest.

1. We are third class. We asked Srinivasa Das to give the Daily SB class today. We were in transit from Lima to Arrequipa. Yet, we did not give him the access codes. We are giving them to him by text-message now!  We apologize and hope to rectify this mistake.

2. Everything seems to be going O.K.: 'Art and the Sacred', 'Solaris', MOE meetings. Hare Krsna. You can make plans for serving Krsna, but better to just chant HK/HR (then you will see that the plans 'come' from the sky).

3.  "Purport: As suggested by the words cukūja veṇum, Lord Kṛṣṇa skillfully blended the sound of His flute with the lovely sounds of Vṛndāvana’s multicolored birds. Thus an irresistible, heavenly vibration was created.", https://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/10/21/2. This is the 'Venu Gita', Song of the Flute. We were doing it last Friday also. This phrase struck us. We also play a flute. You also? This merging of the sound our our flute with the ambient sounds is incredible challenge. Then you can turn all the local noises into Sankirtan, Book Distribution. Even more so, we can merge our Hari-nama Japa/Kirtan with the sounds of the environment. Listening to someone can merge with the Mantra. That is our goal of life. Your's?

Hare Krsna!

We have a headache, stomach ache, back ache, laboring to breath a little, getting dark here in Lima (depressing), no Krsna kirtan in the room. No crowds of people...  but Abhi/Maria flat is very clean, new, bright. Dhruva and Dhanesvary and the babies came today. We have been having FMP that crack the neighbors windows and all of our rounds done early.

Our knees, especially the right one, seem to be coming to permanent collapse. Guess we will be on wheels soon.

Solaris is our constant meditation now. Abhi. Rama. Indu, Nitya K.   Everyone got it into a near final draft and then we looked at it and sent it off with suggestions to Dr. Samaresh and our NIOS Directors.   Lot of work.

Now lets look at our BG workshop preparation!!

 Hare Krishna!

 In La Paz 13,333 feet at the airport. No air. No brains. Headaches of the critically insane.

 Venomous spider bite and your blood runs lame. Steroid anti-venom, your stomach dances on vomit lane.

 Hurray! Krsna!

 Potent local politics prime the stew, but if we are sincere Krsna sends good ideas to you.

paoho...

Brother Ass got two spider bites.  Spreading out. Maybe our flesh will rot and we will have to live in an ant hill for two hundred years.

Our eyes have recovered much.

General health is pretty good.

We have been in Peru for five days. Seems like several lifetimes.   We look for URGENT letters and answer them. Beyond that we just haven't got the facility. We can push our selves, then we have to eat more and our eyes get tired and can't focus and we start to get headaches which at 70-yeats old can mean a brain strike for our Donkey.

Full morning program.   Fighting with our new teleconferencing system: www.gotomeeting.com, but in general it seems much better than startmeeting.com. It works our our Window's phone!

We went with Abhirama th. Das Thursday to see Prof. Miguel Polo. His house is like a museum. Solaris, the flagship journal of NIOS, is coming out. Good articles. Interesting. Useful.

The Symposium, Art and the Sacred, is rolling. The airplanes start coming in 21st October. The houses are leased.     Our September, October, Latin America calendar is becoming clear. Today we go to Chosica but only for one night. Sunday come back and go to the airport at 10.30PM for La Paz...

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

We finally got 90% of the Yahoo mail.  Still got information frm Srinatha Krsna Das to process.

Got a head ache so time to stop.

No blog mail beyond this letter.

Paoho.. We have been very distorted. The Pita, fire element, in our body has been too, too, high and out of place.   This is from too much agitation: Travel, work, NIOS accounting, NIOS car kidnapped, Indradyumna Swami's show production, preparing to travel for two months, etc. etc.

So, we take shelter of Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet and HK/HR   Jaya Sri Vrndavana DHama.

We are really still traveling and answering mail is still a problem.

We have to rest the body or we will get throat cancer.

But we are still doing the important things.

Die fighting The Witch.

We are doing pretty good.  NOT perfect.  We are struggling to get our rounds done.  So much work in Spain and getting back it is just as complicated. It is mostly in goodness. The devotees got 800 seats reserved for Viva Kultura in 18-days. Incredible work from Krsna and devotees here, but no NIOS brochure to hand out to the guests. $10,000 investment. So, we tried to do something and fought and now we will go pick up 750 copies.

Hare Krsna!

Get up early and get your rounds done.
