Hare Krsna.

Brother Ass can barely read the screen sometimes. It is hard to hear what people are saying.

We had no pause in workd from 3AM - 1PM. 1000 people came for Mangala arati etc. It happens second Saturday of the month. We felt we had to do a lot of work to help the Kirtan achieve effective standard. Ability to produce good rhythm is an indication of our connection with the Super soul. In the neophyte stage it is lacking so it is impossible for everyone to sing and dance in close unison. Then there is lack of food for the soul.

Then... class for 80-100 devotees from 7.30-8.30, then online for another pack from 8.30-9.30, the individual questions and work on telecommunications with Srinatha K Das, Aja, and disciple of Sankarsana Das.

Nap. Lots of sugar in the Prasad!  Letters and now some milk Prasad and then meet with Srinatha K. Das et al from 5.45-6.45 PM. 7PM Arati, class discussion, etc.

Hare Krsna.

Happy Ekadasi

We have letters unanswered from one week and one day!    This regular travel situation is kicking in. We have been busy all day with Latin American GBC meeting, Daily SB class, Dr. Samaresh, Srivasa Pt. and how we have 26 minutes to bath, pack, run to the Temple and evening Bh Vai SB seminar.

Hare Krsna.

Just like you, no?

Did not see letter from Abhirama Das!

Hare Krsna, Mates,

AGTSP.

Paoho & bw.

We are trying this on the portable key board and using the Windows phone. We left the lap top in the Boro.

Works pretty good. Our eyes definitely seem to be recovering.

Kesava bharati Swami has the room next to us in the Sannyasis Palace here in ISKCON Houston and we are four minute walk from the Temple by the pathway behind the adjacent houses.

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

The desire to live is so strong. We get some kind of life, reciprocation from our senses. We serve them and they respond. We dip them in chili, salt, sugar and they respond. We don't know what it is like to offer chili, salt, sugar to Krsna's senses. Well we are beginning to appreciate it.

Do you cook for Krsna?

It is so important.

Even can offer fruit and milk and other Ekasasi preparations.

Can cook Kitri, peas porridge.

So easy to learn to bake cakes and use yogurt instead of eggs.

Make halavah.

You quickly see that you adopt cleanliness standards that you would not keep even for yourself and your family. You become quite aware that Krsna, Lord Nrsmhadeva has very sensitive senses and too much chili, black pepper, can really burn Him!

Then you can sing and dance for Krsna.

It is nice to have someone singing and dancing for you while you eat.

Enough.

Don't need to do anything else.

Chan Ting

Dan Sing

Ku King

for your Radha and Krsna.

Take your Jaya beads for a walk. See if you can meet nice people. Look at the people you meet. Offer them all that you have. Even if they want to kill you. 

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!

We are in Nila-Madhava Dhama. Traveling all day yesterday. Intense Bh. Sastri class last night and intense Temple SB and Hawaii SB classes today. We have to rest more. Chant Hare Krsna and dance more.

As usual when we travel we can't handle as much mail because we are in contact with more people locally.

O.K. Let's see what mail there is.

Hare Krsna!

Esteemed Blog Dogs, Deans & Devis,
Tom Brown, Monkey, here.

HpS just finished his Yahoo mail and all the Blog letters over three days old.

It is 4.52PM here and Brother Ass is floating near death

FL

       oAttt.
  ting!      ting!   ting!

His eyes seem a little better, but now he is experiencing some nausea. Is that a French word? To such a person the whole world seems to be spinning, but we belong to a different world, if we chose.

We can tend to the comfort of the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada. We can chant Hare!!   Krsna!!!  Hare Rama!!   At his feet in Vrndavana. Vibrating specks of dust. 

---------

One foot in Goloka.

   One foot in the grave.

The Goswami chants with pleasure,

  Even though the heathens rave.

---------

Do you think you won't take birth as an maggot in garbage in you next life?  Our Karma is impelling us from acts we did long ago. Only hope is that we remember Krsna and do Kirtan for His pleasure wherever we go.

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama, Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

We can look at the hands we got. The strength we got, and put our efforts in a practical plan, and do some little thing as a Sankirtan man (or wonder wo-man).

The Monkeys were throwing rocks. No laser directed anti-tank rockets from Huey Apache helicopters for them, but...

.... by the blessing of Mother Sita, they were WINNING.

"Art and the Sacred", that's our show. All the rest behind it, it can go.

Hare Krsna!!!
Beat your drum!  Throw your rocks!!    Don't stop until you are dead!

Hare Krsna!

AGTSP.   TB here!!     Brother Ass is really falling apart.   Soon we will have Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. Srila Prabhupada writes, maybe in the first cantos, that modern people do not know the horrors that await them in old age from engaging in immature sex. Basically a boy should remain celibate until 25 years old. Then his full male nervous system is developed.

We can see that by engaging in Bhaki yoga even at a late age it has helped us enormously compared to our contemporaries. Yet the damage is done from early years of illicit activiites.

    Dance on fire until the end. Music is your only friend.

This seems like essential advice.

Can we "dance" fast enough in Sri Krsna Sankirtan to keep these old age horrors in check?

SKS is all pervasive.   When we iron our cloth each morning we stand on one foot and chant etc. It is very enlivening. You can dance while you are sitting and teaching in the class room.

How we live determines how we will be born.

O.K.  Answered some mail. Comments are for everyone. Now we go for our walk with NGD along the river.
