Hare Krsna / Hare Rama

We are tired but that always happens after lunch or breakfast. So we do light work. Bh V. Th. said, "After lunch do light work".

We understand that light, spontaneous, work is the best rest. When you have to work according to a preset schedule you have to strain sometimes. So leave time in the day for working according to the emerging energy in your body.

We like talking to you because you are sane.

You understand that big problems cannot be resolved in great detail in just a moment.

So, far this tour has been nothing but intense, full of Sankirtan. We have to learn to not take more responsibility for things than we can. If people become angry because we are not acting according to their expectations we have to understand that often they are not mad at us they are mad at the image they are projecting on to us.

They expect that we will satisfy their desires, that we can, will, do this and this and that. They have an unrealistic view of us. So, we cannot take their anger personally. We can try to inform them of reality.

Now we are getting ready for the big program with the Jesuit University tomorrow, but today there is a Bhakta-vrksha program with expected over full capacity.

So guess we take a short nap to avoid headaches. Got 13 of our 16 rounds done.

Srila Prabhupada is the center of everything for us.

Check you mail. Check you calendars. Chant Hare Krsna.

Tom Brown --- We traveled all day, but got our rounds done and haven't dreamed of getting married to Miss Universe.

We are in a nice room in Subal-sakha Das and Mataji's home. We have a good computer and had a perfect lunch. We while waiting in the airport we made a Power Point Show for Wednesday class on our Cell Phone!  It worked pretty well. On the airplane we met a nice man but could not get into a conversatin with him to distribute a book to him.

Yesterday we distributed 15-LoBs at the Sunday Feast.   AGTSP...

We looked at the Yahoo and Blog mail and answered the very, very, very Urgent letter from Rama-lila Devi Dasi and now it is 7 minutes until Gaura-arati so we can't write anymore, but it has been a productive day. A day of practical devotional service.

See you in the Arati.  We will tweet you.

PAOHO.....

Hare Krsna.

We sit in the Discovery House next to the Temple building which is next to the ladies and Sikhi-mahiti Das' temple house in Atlanta.

It has been cloudy and depressing all day and the same is expected for the next few days.

Without sunlight there is no bright thought.

Well, we have the sunlight of the Gayatri mantras, Maha-mantra, beautiful altar. Nice devotees but ...  we are just getting to know people here. Have just a little relation with the devotees here, although it is the closests temple to Murfreesboro.

Really the breakfast offering, our one meal a day, is TOO much chile ...   This will be our third night here. Bhima is helping us a lot (under Vedasar's in struction). We got laundry soap, tooth paste, we DROVE to the Brazil Consul [lots of work. See the letter to Devaki], and talk so much to the Temple guests.

Srila Prabhupada made an INTENSE visit here.

Now it is 4.42PM. We get 13-rounds done before Srngara arati, "Govinda", and then that gives  us a challenge to finish three more during the day.

Yester day...   We talked with INDIA, Ministry of Education, for 1/2 hour, then Vedasar Das for 1/2 hour, then went with him to buy him a computer. He gave it to us to use while we are here, Lennox Yoga, $800, on sale.

It is great but the Microsoft stuff does not work.

We will call Pandava and see if we can get something going.

O.K. Thats enough ASA Babble for now.

Get the books out. Get the books out. Get the books out (in your way, according to your ability).

Hanuman landed in Lanka (Atlanta)

After jumping high in the sky. Some problems were actually solutions and some were tests of how good he could fly.

His head was aching, but early, he went to the Temple room floor and chanted and danced with Bhima Das, the Pujari and one lady devotee more.

Japa, Class, India on the phone to Tapana misra and few hours with Dasa Veda sar.

Got computer.

Got big screen.

Got laundry soap.

Got. . .   basic calendar and work standard.    Hare Krsna!!!

See you at Mangala-arati.

JAYA SRI RAMA!

Oink!

Monkey is dead [but the dead live again].  [See first foto].

He usually dies when he has to give blood!

After giving blood (and urine) we came back and had a nice Daily SB Reading Review Workshop with Harsh. 8.15AM to ...

      We are in the last few minutes of
packing for this 10-week tour!! 
Banks, Embassy's, Doctors, Luggage, Plans....  Oink!

All we know is Krsna.
Krsna is our friend.
His Grace, our Guru, helps us, cookies to Him send.

Many Latin American Temples have a "Noche de Srila Prabhupada". It is strange when you translate because the only place that this phrase occurs in English, "The Night of the ..." is this 1968 horror movie, "Night of the Living Dead".

It cost $115,000 and has made over $30,000,000.   Now there's a good business, Aye!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Living_Dead

So, should we do a movie, "Night of the Livng Prabhupada!"?

Srila Prabhupada returns at Sunset and by the time the sunrises in the morning all the  "Evil ISKCON Deviants" tracked down one by one. Their doors are crushed and then are all forced to shave up, put on Tilak, obey GBC authority ....  Then when the sun rises everything is like it was in 1975.

"Night of the Living Prabhupada".

Hmmm!

Interesting Idea.

Needs a lot of work though.

Maybe Tarangaksi and Sita-lalita Devi Dasi can work on a script.

Ahhhhhhhh!

Buck White - Well I guess we should stop here. We have already revealed that our words are just moonbeams of a larger lunacy.

Distribute books  . . . very nicely!     !      !.

Hare Krsna.

8.28PM - In NGD living room. Prabhu is here and Rta-dhvaja Swami and Manjari, NGD daughter. The Winter Olympics is playing on the big screne television on the wall. Krsna says that He is the ability in man.

We answered a few letters.

Today we were little bit nauseas. Maybe reaction to the pneumonia vaccination, but we go forward.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.    Look for Krsna.   Look for Krsna. Get a little service Tweeting in the chorus. Become purified of all material recollections.

We can recollect our time in ISKCON!  The pure percentage.

Hare Krsna!!
