Radhe!   Radhe!!

Now it is 3.30PM.   You see we answered a bunch of let-ters.  Back home two nights and maybe we can get a more stable program here.            We are like you, enough admnistration, hours, and we want some fun.   Fun is the essence of spiritual life, not organization, or immortality.

Ananda before Cit and Sat.

FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S A

Hare Krishna gurudeva,

All glories to your beloved Srila Prabhupada and this Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Sankirtan movement!! 

Please accept my respectful obeisances, dandavats. 

Dear gurudeva, 

I long so much for your vapuh association.

ASA - Brother Ass?  AgtSP!!   Paoho.

Im currently living in LA, planing to stay here for at least one or two years. I was debating between staying here or moving to the Krishna Lounge House in Gainesville, Florida. My desire is to go back to college and study something (maybe teaching, translation and interpretation, or nursery) but I just found a room that I can rent on the same street where the New Dwarka temple is. I'm praying to get to know what Krishna wants for me. Anyway, I'll go wherever He takes me.

ASA - Hmmm. Sounds like Vrndavna-lila.

I also played Ugly Putana in the Janmastami drama, it was very challenging but satisfactory, here is the link:

Gurudeva, I want to ask you four very important questions, 

1. Where are you going to be for your Sri Vyasapuja this year???? And for how long are you going to stay in that place???

ASA - We don't know. We were thinking about the Krsna Lounge in Gainseville or Los Angeles but we can't take the smog! We are thinking about it. Now we are just trying to get back from India alive.

2. If I, with the help of other devotees, can arrange college programs, etc for your preaching, would you like to come? I would love to see you soon, and I would love to serve you here in LA. 

ASA - We may visit but S*M*O*G kills us. More likely visit San Jose.

3. For me, that I haven't been in India before, when would be the best time to visit the Dhama?

ASA - Not when, but with. Finds some cool devotees whom you can go with and go with them. Spring and Fall, up until Gaura-Purnima and during Kartika!

4. How can I appreciate more guru, sadhu and shastra? 

ASA - By making nice lunch offerings to your Deities.

Attached some pictures of festivals like Janmastami, Balaram Purnima, Srila Prabhupada's Vyasapuja, and pictures of the original BBT paints. 

Thank you very much for your inspirational service.  

Willing to sincerely follow in your footsteps, 

Your eternal servant, Aindavi dd 

ASA - Thank you!   We look at your pictures. What did you think of the art that we sent from our sketch books?

HAre KrSna!    Prabhus and any CIA or FBI agents reading!

We are sitting on the floor of the living room/dinning room of our mobile home in the Boro. It is 82-degrees outside of this room, but we have a little portable air-conditioner working here.

Oink!

We keep remembering over and over again that this is just a movie, a stage show where we are using puppets to talk to each other and not looking at each other really.

All kind of like a madhouse.

If we really saw each other, at least talking for us, then we would see such selfish, cruel, people.   In Srila Prabhupada's shadow we can keep physical and mental gentleness.

Today is Ekadasi.   Doesn't matter too much to us.  We are trying to only eat fruit, milk, carrots, nuts every day.  Potatoes on Sunday.

If we eat beans and grains they go more to our stomach and then we "think" from our stomach. Seems better at this point to think from our heart, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.

We think of so many devotees, M. Palika and Caturatma for example, and how nice they are. They have no reason to be nice. They are intelligent. They could be competitive and materialistic, but they chose to be devotees. To really see if they are pleasing Krsna, as they have heard about Him from Srila Prabhupada.

We had an extremely shocking dream last night. We were like someplace in Vrndavana and there was one Mataji, younger devotee, 26-32, with everyone and she was talking about something and then she went into this like lament, "Oh, Radharani, my Mistress, when will you give up this cruel separation from You and let me serve you again! Let me come back to you again!"

It was really heart rending. We are coming apart at the seams just remembering it.

Krsna is the property of Radharani, because She serves Him with Her last ounce of strength, but She is not selfish. She shares Him with Her friends, arranges that they can walk with Him, joke and play with Him personally. Of course, it is very intense and they may only want 15-seconds of that once a year, but She is not selfish.

Is that where we belong?

Are we meant for Vaikuntha, Ayodhya, Mathura?

All these places are just expansions of Vrndavana. Perspectives for the improvement of Vrndavana.   They are best with some of that perspective.      You think Vrndavana is a very old place?  No, it has just started. No, none even knows what to do there yet. Just started.  Oh, yes, there is a bigger world but Vrjabasis just forget about that. Vrndavana is like a little village, town, in the middle of a great forest with one road coming in and then going out. Sometimes people come down the road, but in general, Vrajavasis just forget about the rest of the world because they have so many problems and preoccupations in their own world.

6.11PM - NGD just called. He is going to the program at Vijaya Ji's home tonight. It will be in Hindi, Radha-ramana Swami is here for three nights. We walked together for weeks on the Braja-mandal Parikrama everyone year.   You get to know people in that experience.

We asked him and Mataji to pick us up at 6.45PM. We can sit in the class and also go on the porch and do FEP in English.

O.K. Pack up and some Japa!

The Holy Names, The Holy Names, if you don't know what to do then just chant the Names, then you will get all good advice about how to get the greatest gain.

Hare Krsna, Muchachos and Muchinis!

AGTSP!     Pa(;0)ho.        We just caught up all the mail to 3-days!!!!    Thank you!!!

You may remember when the King of Heaven put Monkey in charge of the Heavenly Peach Orchard and he ate all the celestial peaches (some only ripening every 1,000 years). Well what can you expect!   He's a Monkey!     Haven't you got enough sense to not put him in the peach orchard!

We feel the same way here in Murfreesboro. The devotees, ladies et al, cleaned our cave while we were gone. It needed it, but they also stocked the refrigerator and shelves with quarts/litres of pnut butter and jam etc!    Such a big temptation (and we do confess that we have been so lonely sometimes that we took some comfort there).
However, FMP saves our lives and we do seem to be learning how to control our Wild Asses, Senses, better.

O.K. Let's look at the YahooMail.  Jaya Rama!!

Today is a good day to read the Advent of Lord Krsna in the KRSNA book, no?   We should be able to see the pastimes described there happening in the world around us, no?

Hare Krsna,

AGTSP   We had very strong stomach cramps yesterday. They came about every two minutes. We let them grab our whole body and then they would go away. Then during BG lecture came so intense we almost lost consciousness, was flushed and voice jammed up. After that they went away for some time.

This morning almost nothing. Today had SB class with many devotees. Talks with NGD, Upendra and Srinivasa acharya Das. Then Post Office. Mailed ten NIOs to Rick and Yashoda rani. Bought carrots and frozen orange juice. Offered them to Krsna steamed with little butter. Some little stomach ache.

Maybe ulcer from our abuse of body. Maybe stomach cancer.

Maybe die in the next few weeks.

Monday is solar eclipse. Here is one of the few places it can be seen. Big concerts. Don't go out. Don't cool or worship diety during this time. Very evil influence, Rahu. Also deadline for fight between Trump and Korea-raja. Maybe Monday nuclear exchange with the terminatio of Korea, three USA cities destroyed, nuclear fall-out, all telecomunications disrupted, USA economy destroyed.   We just sit down and chant Hare Krsna and depend on Krsna. We are in the middle of Eastern European struggle. From Wealth to Extreme Poverty, but if it is Krsna's desire then O.K. Just chant and leave this world or stay in chaotic situation and contribute our sanity.

Wake up!    You are watching a movie!

Anwswered as many letters as we can. Now time to go see NGD. Evening program at about 7.15PM to 7.30PM, Bhajan-kirtan. The later reading Krsna book.

If we don't have anymore electronic communication we can communicate by dreams!

Hare Krsna!     AGTSP     paoho & bw.
We answered a lot of letters.   We put our DTC in the one to Ambarisa, "NIOS Movie".

It is 6.04PM.  There are sudden raging thunder storms. The wall of our mobile home moves back and forth about three inches!.  Lightening crashes.  Rain

LSSSSSSSSSSS!! ! ! !          Scarey!     We are getting headache from computer.   We want to stop writing.  We want to go on writing.  We want to go to NGD house and do Kirtan for Radha-Natabara.  We want to ear ice cream until it comes out of our nose and ears.

Want, Want, Want!

What does Krsna want?

He wants that the lotus feet of His pure devotee, Srila Prabhupada are comfortable.  Some big guys can take care of higher aspects of Srila Prabhupada's body.  We are lucky if we can be good blades of grass in the carpet.

Let's look at CMDD's letter. In English.

Indra's last letter and the MOE Journal Letters.
