Hare Krrsna, Prabhus,

AGTSP. Paoho.

We danced with Bh. Bhusana Swami yesterday. Poked one of the ladies in the breast while dancing (Ugh!) and flew from Arrequipa to Lima.

The children's Jagannatha Padayatra in Chosica was great, just didn't have banners, flyers and a Parade Marshall.

We are getting little fat (Ugh!    Ugh!) but not eating anymore than before. Must be our Jupiter phase.

Today we fly to Cusco. We are passing with no translator now. We can do nice fire sacrifices but Rama-Sundari Das did a  very impressive one for Arrequipa.

Our aspiration is to write something that will sell Srila Prabhupada's books, glorify, illuminate Srila Prabhupada's books.

If you want to see his lotus feet, then you can do it through his books.

We are exchanging nice letters with Ananta-Rupa Das in Boise about developing SB classes in the Boise Temple. We consider it a very central ISKCON Temple.

We noticed that it describes in the SB that different demigods were attending different events while hovering in the sky in their airplanes. This is like attending by SKYPE?

O.K. Here we go to Cusco.

Hare Krsna,

Hare Krsna,

We are in Hell, how about you?
Are you shivering and coughing as you read this too?

Our fever is 95% defeated by the armies of the Yoga Damned.

Tonight is the "Night of the Living Prabhupada and Carl Jung".

Last night was super, super, super successful program with National Poet Laurreaute, heads of National Libararies etc here in Santiago. It was so exciting: Hamlet and Arjuna, violin, sitar, prasadama, marble arches, greatest authority on Hamlet translation in the Spanish world. Ooof. Still reeling from the shock.

Answered all the mail. Got 15 rounds done. Need to call one devotee about local politics. Go for harinama sankirtan at five with two feet o jackets.

How are you?   Sankirtan trumps our crazy political mind everytime.

KapiDhvaja goes tomorrow?

O.K. Here we go.

Make a big sound for Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krsna.  TB here.

Wrote this letter two times and lost it. Keyboard is on our legs and we seem to keep jumping to some other tab.

Life's like that for us. Same for you? In one of the lesser, less prestigious hells?

Here it is cold and dark and people are moving like city robots outside banging on pipes and making noise while dogs bark.

Oink! Hare Krsna.

Every evening since we came to Saintly Awgo we have been in a different venue, yoga studio, theater and always packed with intelligent people.

Devotees are so attentive but when you travel things are always different. Takes days to figure out the local dinning arrangements. We have adopted the strategy of taking breakfast with the devotees and then only hot milk in the after noon.

Sun comes up behind the clouds and Catholic hamsters beat their drums in shrouds.

We are terrified of the program Thurday on "Hamlet and Arjuna". Laksmana did a great translation of our Power Point show, but we need something much deeper to reach the kind of audience that is coming. It will be in the National Library and Raul Zurita, the national poet will be there.

Be honest. Show what you have. Let them buy BGs. Improve it if you can.

AGTSP.     The first sentence of SB, Preface is our guide, "We must know the current need of human society".

Whenever we meet anybody we have to look in their eyes. Note their gait. Pray to God in the Heart to intimate, WHAT THEY NEED. Then don't hesitate.

There is a Center. Where all our senses become energized in perfect co-ordination and we can prepare to go out and join up with the fleet. For the battle of Good and Evil.

Chile seems like a place where it can take place today. USA is plasticated.

. , , , , , , , , , , , ,, 

We answered a lot of letters. Our eyes are pretty good. This HP smart phone and external keyboard are working pretty well.

We can bathe and Parasurama Das gets our clothes washed. He is a genius. So at least we are pretty clean in hell.

Guess it is about the same for girls, even if they like designer clothes.

Krsna is the only hope.

We have absolutely no big plans at the present moment. Things are going on in the association of Peru devotees. Little light from India. USA et al.  Mexico.  At heart we are all together.

We can only do this kind of low level, 'ordinary tasks' work, for a few hours each day then we tend to die and look for some plank to keep us afloat.

That's all we have to do, no?   Stay alive with a full morning program and four principles, then ISKCON, devotees, decent folk, will ask us for help in their band.

Then maybe Krsna will arrange for us to meet with someone like our intimate selves. Maybe Himself.

It happens.

Our "Big Plan" is just to keep Srila Prabhupada's feet in our heart and pray that we don't cause him distress and try to be of service there. If that generates external knowledge then it is O.K.

Hare Krsna.

We are in ISKCON Santiago.  That knowledge helps a lot to understand who we are. We have your association, ASA Sankirtan Party.

We are trying to find Sita for Rama and give the message. Sometimes she approaches us and asks for news. Sometimes there are demons trying to catch our shadow on the way to Lanka. We need to kill them, the demonic mentality, and on.

We are using our HP Elite 3 x and our portable keyboard. It is working great. NOt having to carry a computer is very, very, great.

Long hard trip from Lima to here. Arrived at 12.30PM. Only got up in time for Mangala arati, but got a lot of Japa done and then class, Prasada, Sadhu sanga, nap, Tweeted.

Our Calendar is getting clearer.

Tonight is program at Visvannatha Das' yoga school. Now, 4.30PM, we have to bath, descend and talk with devotees, some Bhajan, Kirtan, Japa, after everything hot milk, and go to the Yoga center.

Our Japa beads are the center.

SOmetimes the keyboard get stuck and we can't type except by holding down the Cap Key.

So much thanks for all the devotees who worked on Psychology and the Sacred, and the whole program in Peru. It was so powerful and so well organized. We really cannot begin to list the all. Thank you so, so, so, much for being able to join your program.

Now our FMP, 1728+++, will let us go on developing this program.

Now we have some more time to develop our programs.  Who am I??

I am defining myself in terms of these DTCs in the association of who we meet wherever we go.

We chant, we meet people, we write.

Here for 11 days. Expect good internet connection. More time for mail and writing.

Will see Patraka, Rupanuga, when we return to Peru.   Looking for letters from you May have to choose them from the Titles so make them good. Catch the Monkey.

Hare Krsna.

We are packing and running to the airport. It is a little hard to see and hard to breath, but not hard to chant.

Symposium was a great success. It is definitely the last thing that we will organize. We can only sit in the benches and make comments to the coach if he joins us at times.

NOw we write.

We will be on the Editorial Board for the new Ministry Journal if Nityananda Das from Dallas joins.

O.K.  See you little later.
