Hare Krsna.
Two classes, one home program, one formal consultation, 25-short conversations. Muscle cramps in chest and back which are gone now.
Reading Vrndavana Dhama Mahimamrta.
CONCLUSION - Live on fruit, milk,, nuts for the next few days and chant Hare Krsna.
Take elusive shelter of Sri Guru Carana Padma and Hari Nama, live or die.
HAre Krsna. Been here three days. Body a lot recovered and our intellect seems very clear and focused on serving Krsna. Now we are headed for an evening program at Ksiti kapoors home in 17-minutes.
Hare Krsna. Hare Rama.
Like one a.m. In the Delhi airport. Brother Ass is drinking the dregs of life dry. 45-minutes in line for check-in and security. We were chanting and dancing. People watched. Some said "Radhe".
Little leg pain, heart ache, stomach, eye ache. Mataji's upgrade seems to have got us more luggage space? But still Economy Class. This tour had been incredible. Today we flew from Kolkata to Delhi. Gave Rupees 50,000 to Sthapatyam and got a receipt and 10-copies of the magazine.
Yuddhisthira Govinda Das hosted us super excellently. We went to see Lokeschandra, Director of the Indian Council on Cultural Relations. He was impressed with our education, books and Solaris and said they can pay to send 3-5 Indian scholars to go to Peru for Art and the Sacred in 2018.
o.k.
We change to our USA chip. We have international texting.
Hare Krsna.
It is 3am. Seven rounds and some travel planning done. Our roommate Sukadeva Swami is just getting up. Were are in Mayapura.
We meet Mathuresa Das yesterday and agreed that it Jayapataka Swami called him we would both to to visit. We are in the last few days of this India tour. It has been heaven and hell. Spent six hours editing Man Making book with Dr. Samaresh.
Writing on our cell phone. Prahlada, Dhruva, Dhanesvari Devi Dasi et al here. Now we go to bath then Samadhi arati.
SGGS starts today.
Hare Krsna!!!
AgtSP... Paoho.... It is 2.36AM in room 303 of the ISKCON Kolkata Guest House. Fan is grinding out a torturous noise, the only place to charge the cell phone and this computer is an outlet high-up on the bathroom wall, above the toilet.
Strange!
Improvisational Theater. Next lifetime we will be in Goloka??? Maybe Gokula... ... ... Pune, Navi-mumbai, were all very successful. We met with Prof. Joe Periera who created and manages the Kripa Foundation. They help people with AIDS and chemical dependency etc. He runs one of the three Jungian Centers in India. He also was awarded the Padma Sri in like 2009.
Our vision is going pretty fast.
Respiration is not deep. We learned a LOT from joining a Sub-Mumbai Rathayatra: You CAN chant and dance from your soul. It doesn't have to be super intense, but nice, for Krsna. We applied this in chanting our Japa on the airplane. If you can chant and dance for four hours in front of Jagannatha, then certainly you chant chant and dance for two hours while sitting on the airplane. It worked. We had to chant slower but it was deep. Like internal Kirtan. [infernal kirtan]
Can't hear much at all on the airplane. Injun Roars! Gotta cover your ears to chant.

The Big Brown Bear would wash his hair in creek spanked water Sunday.
So bedecked he would say, "What the Heck!" and go to the Temple quite Dunday.
"Hurray Krsna! Hurray Rama!"
Always hear Nama Radha-Shyama!

The Blue Babboon? Ulysses. Merco -Sur? No URGENT letters on the Blog. Presidency College.
Navi Mumbai.
Hare Hare, Hare Krsna!!!
We are in Navi Mumbai. The area is Mumbai and Navi mumbai, then all kinds of subdivision. If we want we can re-localize society in the village, country and things can be quite nice. There can be village crafts, musical instrument makers, village, back-yard, foundery casting Kartals, scissors etc. Yes there can be televisions, Srila Prabhupada says, 2-3 dozen for the whole world.
We just smashed our foot against the leg-foot of the bed in the the middle of the side of the bed for the third time! It is like where it should not be. This time we scraped by a piece of skin the size of a big match head. On the Vraja-mandala-parikrama it was happening all the time, foot scrapes, punctures. We learned to ignore them. Thoughts of illicit sex will trail us to the point of death because of the birth we have taken, but if we engage in devotional service they won't bother us.
The India Tour continue. Here it is 87% local temple programs. Was the same in Pune, but here we have the broader association of Rama-giri-dhari Das x MOE, Goloka Education. The new ISKCON temple here is growing 8-stories tall by 10 acres fat! Now we are going to Rathayatra. Where ever we go people have a loud Kirtan and garland to greet us and then special seat of honor. They we have to say something extraordinary. The only justification for all this we can assume is that Srila Prabhupada has made a silk purse out of a sow's ear. NIOS - DSB - Psychology and the Sacred work continues.
