Still here / song (finally!)
AGTSP
Please accept my humble obeissances
Dear Maharaj
We hope this letter finds you in better health.
ASA - AGTSP!!!!! If you read the DCT today, Su/19th, you will see that your hopes have not been realized. Brother Ass is with severe heart arhythmias. Yet we are always, easily becoming Jolly, and these death notices push to do the essentials, which gets us in good Goloka consciosness. Everything in Goloka es ESSENTIAL! Thank you!
We are always remembering your inspirational life and asking Lord Hari to keep you strong. Always in touch through the Kapi Dhvaja. We spent Jammastami at the ISKON rural community in Maryland, great, awesome experience. Playing flute close to the cows, surrounded by trees, doing service, chanting japa etc. We're in Washington DC for a month visiting family and friends. Also, we're still trying to get the music for Lord Vishnu recorded which has been hard to accomplish but we take it as a service now, so arrangements from above are keeping things steady although due to our fallen nature, slow. We were at the Montreal Rathayatra; played flute and danced all the way to His final destination.
ASA - Goloka!!
We hope this will please Him. (we also played for the Radha Krishna deities in Jammastami in MD) We are getting more focused and steady. We also found nice association with Bhaktimarga Swami from Toronto who's crossing Canada on a devotional-pilgrim-trek. [again!] We feel so blessed by the Lord that still wants us. I'm happy to send you the link to our first demo devotional recording. We promised to send it first to you and here it is. (my service to Govinda and all Vaishnavas) We recorded and played in a song by Janardan Das prabhu in Montreal. http://youtu.be/vvEHGdM7hMg

HpS - ASA - - We have Peru Kena, Peru little high pitched flute and a harmonica in three different bags. We have liked flutes since we were very little. It is wandering b'cari's harmonium. Adjusts the prana, mood for us and others so easy. We have been chastised for playing off key by one GBC but Tamal-krsna Goswami left his room and walked into the wretched B'cari ashrama where we had just arrived in Houston when we were playing and said that he had heard the playing and he had to stop everything and come see who was playing, it reminded him very much of Visnu-janan Swami, his cousin brother.
The morning after Janmastami in Canada, Vancouver, everyone was sleeping late, recovering from 5,000 guests and there was a little, little corral right in front of the temple door where two little bull calves had been domiciled as part of the festival. They were both sitting down chewing their cud and we began to play for them. After a few moments they got up and start to dance and butt each others heads!
We were in the zoo in Lucknow (as tourists) and started playing our flute. The deer started to run in herd. An old, old, grey haired chimpanzee came to the edge of his compound and sat and listened. When we stopped he slapped his thighs enthusiastically and swung both arms up two or three times. So we played some more.
Several stories. Flutes are nice. All the cowherd boys have flutes. Takes about 3-5 minutes for the flute to warm up. Nice to play the same music with five or even twenty more flutes at the same time, with drums, and Hari Nama!!!!!
Masculine and Femenine is eternal. Sanskrita Grammar is eternal. Flutes are eternal. Service of Srila Prabhupada is most eternal!
