Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.

AgtSP.   Here we are in Alachua, ISKCON New Raman Reti. Our residence, the Guest House, is about 10-minute walk from the Temple. There are six of us here for the Education Conference residing in three rooms.   The Conference is in the Bhaktivedanta Academy. A  few mosquitos but no aligators.

Conference in going well. So far we give it a score of 75% perfect.

Real perfection is constant chanting of Hare Krsna.....!    It is 10.15PM.  We take rest now and get up early for the bath and Japa. About 40-devotees in Mangala-arati

.

MOOO!
See the cows, see the sun,
They all in groups like to run.

Dance in the air in the belly and soul.
Dance with the Gopas, "Hari Bol!"

In the conditioned state the Maha-mantra liberates us. In the liberated state it guides us to our proper service to Guru and Gauranga, Radha Krsna.

Hare Krsna.
What do we do in Goloka?
Do we pick flowers and herbs for the lunch?

Everyone there is so light, that even the sight and smooth smell of wild flowers, moves them all a great bunch.

It is the same here, rapt reader.
Do not think that there is nothing in plan.

Krsna can send in a moment a big or a very small man.

Kirtaniya sada harih.
Not for liberation, to get proper guidance on what to do, how to see?

* * *

 Now let us write before sunrise.

 All the banks and markets are closed.

 Only the  mind and the Mantra,

Will serve as our soul"s repose.

           Hare Krsna.

AGTSP   paoho.   The hay fever, allergy, reactions are intense.
Makes it difficult to breath,

But, deep down the Prana is flowing well and from that we can adjust the external air flow.

The health of deep Prana, spirit, comes from remaining celibate and chanting Hare Krsna / Hare Rama and honoring Prasadam.

Chant HK/HR at the lotus feet of Krsna w/i your heart always.

        ===============-=-=-=-============

  • How was your day?
  • Did you learn a lot about how to improve your service?
  • Now it is 8.48PM.    Read about Krsna's pastimes, KRSNA book etc. and rest for a few hours.    Tomorrow we are back into the drama of developing Vrndavana Dhama, the Sankirtan movement, following Srila Prabhupada (forever)...

Who are better Christians, the Jesuits or the Hare Krsnas?

Hare Krsna,

T. Brown here.

AGTSP  paoho.    How are you?  How is you vehicle?

We have a lot of heat in the body.   Only way to move heat is with heat. Doctor suggests six cups of hot fennel tea each day.  If we keep on dancing, chanting and being happy to the end of this body, then we can do the same thing in Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON life after life.                             .I don't want to kiss Krsna.   Yuck!!!       I want to be eight years old with Krsna and all the boys in Braja, forests, cows, cowherding, playing, discovering, obeying our parents.

Tomorrow is Ekadasi. The Mother of invention for those who cook.
Candramukhi Devi Dasi recomends potatoes and milk.

+ + +

See you in Mangala-arati.   We listen to the different Bhajan Kirtan leaders each day and understand so much from listening to them. We try to help their music reach Radharani's ears and also offer ours.

ASA - [TB] -- Got rounds to chant. Got no brains. Right eye disfunctional. Had great talk with Abhirama Thakura Das, Great FMP including Daily SB class.

The English --Art and the Sacred-- video is dynamite. Sent letters and lnks off to 30-people around the world.

Nice letters from Pablo, Priya, Mandara everyone.

Waiting for files from ART Das and then will send my Agenda Items to Tapan misra Das for the MOE meeting on Saturday.

---> We have this image again and again of a bunch of monkeys picking up roasted split peas from the ground around Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet and then he calls one of them and ties a scarf around his neck with a message in it and says, "Lalita!" or "Rupa" or "..." and the monkey jumps up and down a few times and whoops and heads off down the path like a rocket, hell bent for delivery.

You don't gotta have brains to work in this outfit. You just gotta use the tools you have when the Boss calls for them.
