HARE KRSNA

Hare Rama

My, God!    Are we ever exhausted!   Patio roof got 80% fixed but in the course they opened a leak into our office!   Kitchen faucet was dripping and now the bathtub faucett won't turn off and we can't get the handle off to replace the stem.

My, God. Your, God.  Everybodies, God.

           [[OUR rose bush has nice bright red flowers on it.]]

Many things.   Mail has fallen behind.

We'll put some potatoes in the oven at 450-Farenheit for one hour and offer them to Lord Nrsmha deva. Maybe that will solve all the problems in the world.

Better, say, "H A R E!" one time and "KRSNA!"... keep working on our 1728+++ mantras!

See you later!

 E   KRSNA!       We (Monkey Piggy) are so tired.   Bother Ass is tired. The world outside our window [7.53AM] looks tired.  G

s we should rest, but we get energy for our engines from writing to you.   '@'ink~~~

When we die, we go like into a different sky, no?   What of our thoughts will remain? Will we think of Laksmana-agra-ja Das, Bhakta Benny?

We value our clothes, car, house, community, but they will go for sure. Then, how many people will we remember? If they are related to service to Krsna, they will remain.,
            Who is KRSNA?

We are more [agtsp!!] dead [paoho] than alive. We offered blended non-fat yogurt, carrots, walnuts, orange-juice to Lord Nrsmhadeva. He seemed to appreciate it. We thought a long time about what would be good for Him.

How about you?

If you are on the level of at least a second initiated devotee then you can feel that your intuitive experiences of Krsna have some value, to be adjudicated [big word!], of course, in terms of Srila Prabhupada's books. E.g. BG 10.10-11

It is
Sunday
morning - overcast and slight rain. Our pear tree is very healthy. The disease it had in the Fall has not come back. We are like Maharaja Bharat with his deer?    In our next life we will be a pear tree?

Got moving on the mail today.

Rounds a little slow. Got up late!!!!

Better to die chanting HK. That was Socrate's dictum.

Demon: You're weird!
Devotee: Then so was Socrates, Jesus, Confuscious and Genghis Khan.

We'll get back to our Japa now. At 12.15PM is the half-hour SB with Boise, Idaho. We'll go walking with NGD.  The only thing that makes us go is reading of the sinless hero.

Blog mail is always moving.  Now a little faster.

Hare Krsna, Tom Brown (Monkey (Kris Knox)) here!

We are sitting in the Atlanta airport at gate E-32.  It is 4.24pm and our flight leaves at 5.50PM for New Vraja Mandala, Spain. We are honoring one fo CCD's oatmeal cookies before we lose consciousness from hunger.

We will check to see that we have the latest version of Sakatsi Ji's paper for "Man Making" downloaded, then we will take a last look at the mail before we depart into the "Reduced Mail Zone" for two weeks.

. . .

We have an edition of her paper from March 15th. Dr. Samaresh assigned it as our editorial work for the week!  We still need an article from Prana Das or other ISKCON primary school director: Education in Ancient India and Man Making in Modern Times.

. . .

O.K.  Loading!  >>>>====>>

Tom Brown (Kris Knox)  -  Ho! HO!  He! He!  Hari!  Hari!

It is 5.54PM.  All the mail is caught up to three days ago. Now we scoop for Spain.   Did Meta-soft work, and NIOS State filing requierements today. Had to go to Office Depot. Buy ink, and after two months got our printer working.

The roof on the porch blew off like 85% last night. It was coming off. We called Tandavika Das in Austin and he said he would get back by Sunday and call roofers by Monday or Tuesday. We sent the pictures and said that it might be more urgent than that.

Lot of Tweeting with poems pretty early.

All this administration gets boring to us. Some is a lot of fun. Then we want to take lots of Maha-prasada fruit and read some well written historical fiction. We have to purify our gross body so that we can read the Krsna book like that.

Is this true of you also?

Lot of things, but we chant Hare Krsna, take bath a few times a day and try to answer our mail. Calendars come from Friendships.

Tomorrow we write from Atlanta, then... New Vraja Mandala???

 'are Krsna, Mates,

We just uploaded our current annotated NOI: www.jayarama.us/archives/asa-noi170326.docx, which includes a reference to:  www.jayarama.us/archives/jaiva-40.docx, as as source of more explanation of the 'dasas', stage of devotional service, mentioned in Text 8

In the Sunday, Boise, SB class, 1.2.16 we noticed that even the Asuras who Krsna declares that He send to hell forever can get escape from that by the mercy of the preachers.

World Classical Literature: "She" by H. Rider Haggard. List of most read books: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_books. We want to get the KRSNA book on this list, no? What makes a book well read? Of course, one answer is that it is a good book and it is an old book. Then many people have a chance to read it for a long time. We also noticed that a book is satisfying if it doesn't just end, but rather satisfies us as a complete meal but then indicates what to read next.

Our mail is keeping pretty current. You can see the "Seattle Symposium" letter. Now we are waiting for a letter from Sattva, Abhirama Th. Das, to make the next move on "Psychology and the Sacred".

All these projects are too big for us. We are just doing our work to organize our little contribution. That's the way for everyone, no?

"Oh, my Lord, my boat is so small and your ocean is so big."

Tomorrow we have to pack: Mind, Body and Soul, for our trip to New Vraja Mandala.

On the way to NGD's ashrama we just stopped at Kamya-van, Good-will Store. It is a second hand store. We were looking for a nice briefcase for the Blue Baboon and others.
