About, AGTSP, paoho, twelve devotees in the Temple room chanting Japa. Day after Janmastami. We did pretty well. The fast was tough but we did lectures, initiations, conversations....   Now we got internet for few minutes so lets grab it.

Our Vyasa puja offering is in post from Nikunja.

This trip through Spain has been intense: One night in New Vraja Mandala, three nights in Barcelona, Ramblas. It is one of the biggest tourist places in Europe. The smell of alcohol, urine etc floats in the air. People are dressed in loud, plastic colors and trying to beat their bodies like dead horses to get Rasa from their sense.

So unfortunate. We go out with the Sankirtan party and they have an option. Some come. Som join us!

We will write about how to celebrate Janamstami for our ABC Year curriculum.

We sent our Solari article to Abhirama Das.

We wrote back to Sugopis radha Devi Dasi's professor in Boise and will work on an introduction to alternate medicine in psychiatry for her.

O.K. Back to Japa and then presentation from 9-10AM on Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krsna,

AGTSP paoho.

Here we sit in the Berkeley Temple room. It is 6PM. We are camped in a little.  corner of the B'cari ashrama. We had to use our ingenuity. to bath.

We know so many old devotees here. Rathayatra was tough, but success. Now we are getting ready for the evening program. We may get a room later.

Hare Krsna.

Kolaveca Sridhar Das is waiting at the door. We will pick up 5 more devotees and drive to Cupertina, about 45-minutes from here. Evening program.

We edited Rathyatra Prayers of Lord Caitanya into one file for tonight. We just uploaded it to Jayarama.us. Look in the Archives. Then in the folder, "ABC Year".

Our life is PACKED. We are keeping healthy at heart, but of course, so much stress traveling, preaching. We are talking with tons of devotees daily. Here in San Jose, with Vaisesika Das, Srivasa pandita, Balimardana, Ananadavrndavana, Balarama, Abhaya, Sridhar Das, Dasi..

Last night Harinama Sankrtan in Palo Alto. Stanford it there and the Harinama is on main street full of interesting shops, restaurants, clubs, cinemas... SUper cultural. People have PhDs left and right. Vais. has organized lights, videos, meditation tent....   So much preaching.

O.K.

We are looking toward, Rathayatra tomorrow, Boise, Spain, Peru . . . Chile.

Again.  We try to answer mail, but traveling it seems only secure we can get to this letters labele, URGENT.

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.

Just like you, no?

Did not see letter from Abhirama Das!
