You can see the Saturday Workshop post we just made. The weather has been pretty good. We were doing temple programs and work with Dr. Samaresh in Kolkatta. Devotees gave us big help and then off to Manipur. Here it is a little rugged, mountain, people, but also fresh air.

The program at the Asiatic Society in Kolkata was perfect. Hall was full with scholars, retired Vice-chancellors etc.. Then the program yesterday in the Manipuri medical college organized by Sarad-gaurangi Das et al was also incredible: Head of Psychiatry, retired head of psychology. We think they are open to the ideas that the soul animates the mind and body and that the Bhagavata has an excellent map though the mind.

Some stomach pains. Maybe from green banana. Surrounded by devotees with Dengue fever. Mind and body screaming to get back to "our country". Counting the days.

Need to write letter to Badri Swami about "Every Temple a Preaching Center" in terms of what we are learning in Pune, Boise etc.

No response to our Whatsapp post about art and the sacred.

Hare Krsna. We call Kolkata about our brochure printing.

Hare Krsna. AGTSP. Paoho.

Here we are the second day in ISKCON Kolkata. Our telecommunication and word processor are working pretty well.

The work with Dr. Samaresh is a big challenge but Srila Prabhupada has given us unlimited determination!   AGTSP!  !   ! ! ! !    !

We worked for about two hours on the next copy of Viplavah, MOE Journal, collecting stuff from the internet on our little little HP Elite screen and then passing it to Palak Partha Sarathi Das' computer and editing it and then back to cell phone for sending. Ooof.   Get the job done by improvising whatever you need to do.

It is 3PM... Little warm but no mosquitos. Got 13-rounds done. Dr. Samaresh had to go to a meeting room at the airport instead of the National Museum so we are not sure we can meet today.

O. K. Our eyes need a break. Bath, Gayatri, Japa.

We also listened to the first SB 7.5 class from Boise on Start Meeting.com and today and gave class in the Temple. We are eating once a day at b'cari breakfast and maybe little fruit and milk in the after noon.

Thank you. We look for URGENT letters now.

Hare Krsna, Prabhus,
AgtSP, Paoho & be.

Our eyes are just coming to a complete computer failure.

We traveled for 27-hard hours between New Govardhana Dhama in Australia to ISKCON Kolkata. Was amazing. It proves again the efficacy our Yoga and this path.

It is 2.30PM. We have a nice, simple accomodation, Bhakti Logitech Keyboard is paired with Bhakta HP Elite 3x and tying this letter on the phone card maintained by Sri Hari Das.

Our phone here again is +91 880058 67 45. If want to call to say hello, we will also say hello and then good-bye. That is good.

We are checking the Blog for URGENT mail and you can see from the other posts that we are getting the Yahoo mail caught up with the VIPs. We talked with Dr. Samaresh and that work is underway.

We will go to Salt Lake at 5-pm for program there.

Devotees here have helped so much.

Dhruva, M. Manjari, A.Adri, Dh. Isvari......  All helped to much in Australia. We hope we are of help to them. So much we can do.

Looks like we can get some writing work done here. Not so many individual consultations to make, but our eyes make a limit of about two-three hours a day.

O.K. Hare Krsna.

How is Dr. Ravi et al?

Next we will contact the Harsh and Delhi.

Look at larger Calendar.

First priority is 16-nice rounds, four principles strictly, FMP, then Sankirtan in ISKCON!!

Send some Urgent letters!

PPP - Our stomach pains have almost disappeared! Our fever is 99% done. We are still riding an old ass and death is possible for us at any moment. Then a new body.

We just Tweeted.

It is not just that we are doing three programs a day with 100 intense people at each one and driving for two-three hours a day and taking some individual crisis. We also got a snappy virus, but... all this seems within the plan of Sri Krsna Sankirtan, and it is without a doubt that there are devotees doing more sincere service than us. Maybe we are the second most fallen person in ISKCON.

Now in New Govardhana the weather is 90% fine with fresh air, space, sunshine. True we have no hot water but PLD got some laundry soap for us immediately and our traveling crew is a great, great help!! Madhumanjari, Adi adri, Jitendriya, DHRUVA.....

Now we go to the Temple and chant our rounds. Was only able to  get up and get there for Srngara-arati today. For emergencies of pain or happiness you can call our keeper, Dhruva Das at +61 434 629 587.

At 70-years old with the early days of a Berekey Hippy how we are working is a God sent miracle.

We recommend our path to everyone. Hopefully some more light days here and get some strong work done for 'Art and the Sacred' and Viplavah and ABC.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna. AGTSP!!!     Paoho.....  TB/BW...

Jaya Sri Krsna!
Respected Professor,
We have arrived in Melbourne and are setting up our camp and local caravan. We are still writing this on our cell phone (though we have a light weight portable keyboard).
We received your text message and answered. We commented that the driver took a wrong turn to we got delayed a little in our transit to the airport, then at Immigration their computer had problems and they had to call the supervisor's supervisor to correct it before we could proceed to the gate. Travel was with little problems but still 22-hours of hard work.
We probably will not get a new chip for our phone but Sriman Dhruva Das is our constant companion and a nice young man with real intellectual interest.
His phone is +61 434 629 587.
Are your travels to Delhi fixed? It seems we should just keep our Nov 7th, 11am - 1.15pm, CCU - DEL, Jet Airway's ticket and camp at Albert Road 4th, 5th and 6th night.
When we left Mumbai Rama-giri-Shari Das' wife was putting the edited Brochure and full print out of Siksadrsa into a mailing envelope.
Please write to us or call throught Dhruva and we shall write and call.
Has Sarad-gaurangi Devi Dasi contacted you from Manipur yet??
