DTC 10(We)

We are dead!

We want to die.   5.33PM.   Letters, Annual Reports, Brazil Visa,

Even Donkeys can fly.

Dark outside.  Warm today +8 degrees. Our cave was warm.

We would like to fall down now, but we have Bhakti-sastri at NGD Ashrama. How is that possible?

We learned a long time ago that if you take it one step at a time: Pack you luggage. Start the car, Hare Krsna, don't plan too far, then the service, sankirtan, is always wonderful.

We give a itch to the Witch --- 99.9999999999999999999999999999% by the mercy of Srila Prabhuapda!

Hare Krsna,

4.08PM

1-degree!          Sun is shining brightly into our cave and that creates a lot of heat.

Just answered a lot of letters.         Got a head-ache.   Too much Thing King.  Should rest now. We will get all of our work done!

Dream of Beautiful Pigs and Monkeys soaring around Vaikuntha, heading for Goloka.  Where is the path?   Is it here in Murfeesboro?   Is it in the corner of your Ashrama?

Walk, walk, walk down the forest path.. Walk, walk, walk.  Does one little dog join you? Medium-small dog. Is the weather perfect?  Is it Spring?    Is there anyone else there?

Yes, Srila Prabhupada.

We can never leave him.

He defines our life.

Walk, walk, walk.  Carry the luggage.  Hare Krsna, Hare Rama!     Hare Krsna!    Hare Rama!

Qwuaaa!     Qwuaaaa!    The birds sing.    It is hard to remember were you are coming from.  If need be the memory will come.

Dancing along barefoot behind Srila Prabhupada.

People wave from their gardens as we pass by their forest cottages. Other paths cross ours.  Srila Prabhupada is picking the route steadily.

Shuffle, shuffle, stay in his dust.

Hare Krsna.

We worked hard all day, but still lacking important progress with Viplavaha-3, but we are ignorant, weak, so we make mistakes in using our body, mind and paraphernalia perfectly.

Still a lot work done under difficult circumstances. Below freezing all day outside of our little hut.

Japathon tomorrow. See www.jayarama.us/japa.htm.

Hare Krsna!   Hare Krsna!!!!!!!!!    See you next year!

Oink!

Hare Krsna. Tandavika Das may come at any moment, so we will write now. 

It is 1.54PM, two Gayatris, 13/16 rounds done.  Class on internet this morning. Offered potatoes, oatmeal Kitri to Lord Nrsmha Deva.

It is 36/3 Farenheit/Celcius degrees outside and dark. It is O.K. here. NGD and all the family have gone to Dallas for the New Years Kirtan with 700 devotees and gurus.

We are very small. This world is very violent. We try to move carefully so that we don't get mangled, mauled. A tongue surrounded by sharp teeth.

Besides being violent it is also booring. Prabhupada says that everything in the material world in dull.

We have the NIOS accounts mostly under control from the India Trip. There are $28,000, but many expenses coming!   Hope the first movie with Oscar, Kalyana, Hector... is a very big success.

So, may projects like that: ISV Bhakti-vedanta, MOE Viplavah, Brazil GBC College.   Hmmm?   How can we think that we have enough energy to deal with all these things, surrounded by -10 degree (tonight) weather.

Haw!    Haw!!  Haw Ray!

We answered all the letters to one week ago. Now we will read a few Annual Reports before Tandavika Das comes (from Franklin (45-minutes)))>     Thank you.

Boom!      Booom!          Bo oomm !        We keep on throwing rocks at Ravana whenever we get back on our feet. Sita is sad.

hare krsna.

we are tired just like you?    robust talk with abhirama thakura das, class for hawaii, nios work, telephone chat with jaya-krsna das and Bhakti Tom Daigle, 30-minute walk with NGD. we saw nobody outside. is -2 degrees Centigrade.

full gaura arati and noi reading. we started chanting, loud and then we saw that we could choose to be happy. we can also choose to think about how evil we are and how we deserve to be punished by our society, but we can choose to be happy. so many times that happens in gaura arati, kirtan, our spirits get lifted up.

we have no money, clothes, family. we do not rely on our church. we have problems helping our students....    but we have the holy names. they bring everything.

they bring eternal life.

the opportunity to massage srila prabhupada's lotus feet.

re   Krs-na!    Hurray, Rama!      Hurray, Krsna!       Hurray, Rama!   Hurray  . . .

Moon Beams from a Larger Lunacy [Nice title. It is from a book in the public domain. author gone to his reward].

[[['ows, Dhruva in Australia??]]]

Lord Caitanya is the largest Lunatic.

If one sees simple a moment, shard, chip, of one of His Pastimes, he can expand it into dozens of ecstatic books.

It is 1.03PM, Xmas eve day. It is 40-degress Farenheit here in Murfreesboro. Not too much traffic.

FMP, then 1-1/2 hours doing a Powerpoint show for the GBC College in Brazil.  Some many, other letters, nap, Boga offering (potatoes [carrot [almonds [olive oil [greek yogurt [salt and black pepper [little, little, love of Lord Nrsmhadeva]]]]]].

Now gotta rest the brain.
   Or the monkey will go insane.
In the end only the madmen will survive. Then we shall have good books!
