The Sun is at 4.51 PM, Radha-kunda, Mathura District, India

🌻🌴 🌻

  🌻


Looking at the last WM we must say that still many exotic people are still visiting us still daily.

  1. Vira-gopal Das and Gaura-gadadhara Devi Dasi are now residing just a stone's throw from our door.
  2. Pramodini Radha Devi Dasid comes from Manipuri Mandir.
  3. Tungavidya D. D. is in the next block, and they all come for Mangala arati and Gaura-arti.
  4. Krsna-loka Das, very tall, thin, disciple of Subhaga Swami who has been living here we maybe 20-years is also coming regularly. He is a great Pandita, very humble ocean of knowledge and austerity.
  5. Ranchor, Govinda P., Gokulananda, Sri-hari, S. Sakhi, S. Mayi D. Dasi.
  6. Ashrama mate: Vipina-bhihari Das

Looking at our Diary of a Traveling Creature (2022 November 5-20) we see that there was a Solar Eclipse and we followed the local custom of fasting from six hours before it until its end, then we had LARYNGISTIS.

Yes, friends

L A R Y N G I T I S

that seems to be a symptom of the AQI.

🌴🦧

🤖 Air Quality Index!

  1. 0-50 is good air.
  2. 50-100 is O.K. air.
  3. 100-150 is bad air (Unhealty).
  4. 150- 200 is rock my sox bad air.

R. Kunda is always about 165, but it could be worse. Delhi is about 251!

All of India is at least 150!

Sri Hari Das sent an air filter.

It huffs and puffs and seems to make a little difference.

I think we are gradually damaging our eyes, throat etc, but as we hear Prabhodananda Sarasvati say every evening, "Better to rot in Vrndavana, than live the life of a sage in the pure clean air of the Himalayas".


Only 7-more weeks in Radha-kunda .... then we head to Spain breathing the surgically purified air of the aluminum weiner, airplane.

SPECIAL GUESTS and EVENTS

Every Saturday at 5.30p IST we have symposium at www.GoToMeeting.com 737-859-341 with H. G. Upendra Das on Caitanya-caritamrta, and ASA Report.


Nitai-gaurasundara Das visited India (Vrndavana (Radha-kunda)). We went to see him at the new 50+ room ISKCON Govardhana Retreat Center in southern tip of Govardhana, and then he came here with Sashi, his younger brother, Supreme Court Advocate (with three police men with machine guns). It was interesting experience going to Radha Kunda with them.


*** Every thing here is becoming incomprehensible. We are forced to have simple tasks and focus on managing our little world, next step, next breath***


GOVARDHANA

MAHA-VIDYALAYA

⛰️

Very great, young Indian scholars, Houston friends, Saturday and Sunday 8-9.30a.

NoI/TPP.

We learned such new things about NoI.

(We are printing 1000-TPP, Amazon quality for Rupees 116,000)


With effort (one pint of blood/minute) the DTC-UT editing is progressing.

Lets finish:

  1. USA for V-puja (24th December).
  2. Spain while we are there (January/February)
  3. India while in Mexico (March)

NIOS-BRC

Is also progressing with more blood (shared with the mosquitos).

Starting meetings with Sumanta, Abhiseka, Srinivasa, Miguel, Abhirama .... next week.


Every day, twice a day, we circumamblulate

Sri Sri Radha-kunda / Shyama-kunda. Seems little by little, every visit, develops our position in Gokula, Goloka in the material atmosphere.

Little by little, by little, punja punya krti.

Intuition

2 years, 5 months ago by yajnasenidd in Special Category A

Maharaj, PAMHO AGTSP!


After more than a dozen years of suffering, I’ve come to realise that I will never ever neglect what my intuition is telling me again, no matter what kind of authority is standing in front of me. I will not be intimidated into doing things I can see will end up going wrong because maybe most guides we have currently in ISKCON don’t know the abilities of their second generation. Krsna has given us a certain level of insight, understanding, vision, intellect, perception which a lay beginner devotee may not have and their preaching modules can’t be copy pasted onto us.


We aren’t as clueless; maybe we too can see through things. And depending on this inner insight instead of accepting ‘you don’t know anything’, ‘you’re just a little girl’ propaganda. And when you follow, being told ‘you should’ve known better’, ‘we can tell you, but it’s up to you to follow it’.


ASA - Yes, as soon as we come to the mode of goodness, by birth or spiritual culture, we can begin to trust our insight.

Of course, one of most prominent insights is to accurately evaluate our insights.

Eg. 'That is very practical evaluation of the situation, but my intelligence is also telling me to talk to a couple of people to clarify the idea'.


Whatever inspiration we have should be confirmed by Guru, Sadhu and Sastra - Rupa Goswami.


Get to work!

Create a revolution.

We just finished honoring Radha Shyamasundara's Raja Bhoga, and before that returned from our daily morning Parikrama of Radha-kunda.


It is always a very intense educational experience.


How are you?

How is your Sankirtan of the Holy Names?


Looking at our DTC (Diary of a Traveling Creature) for this last fortnight we see a jumble of spiritual activities.

One of then is our daily fight with tongue, belly and body to not make Prasadam the object of our lust.


Trying to eat once a day.

   16-nice rounds done.

Arthiritis in our left wrist, right elbow and right knee.

You?


Fasting indoors for Lunar Eclipse from 9.15am to 6.15pm.


Did some Blog mail.


Does anyone want to take Sannyasa? We got this really spiffy Mantra to pass on and I guess this may be the last chance we have to do it.


Also, we want to resign as Diksa guru. Anyone want to take up that job?


Be demur but not timid!


I guess we will close our accounting year December 31st. We liked doing it end of Vaisnava year, end of Kartika, today, but GBC seems to be in Srila Prabhupada's general humor of "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's", so we close on the secular year.


Little hard to update the Disciple list but is seems to be under control.


O.K.

Tha...  Tha.... That's all, Folks!

See you in Sankirtan! (Twitter [Blog])

WANDERING MISCREANTS

Hare Krsna!  AgtSP!  Paoho.     Here is our report, after our first fortnight near Radha-kunda

Very near.

Most of our work was just trying to settle down, establish a hermitage without agitating projects and plannings.

Yet, a thousand different people,

places,

insects,

impinge us daily!

 

This is Kartika month.

 

We can step down from the veranda and trundle barefoot for about 9 or 10 minutes, and we are in front of Sri Sri Radha kunda . . and . . .

Hundreds of bustling Vaisnava pilgrims, who change daily, every 10-minutes, and amongst them, "Hey, Hanumatpresaka Swami, do you remember me? You came for a program at our home in Vancouver, 25-years ago! This is my daughter."

"Oh, HpSwami, we heard from Sumanta Rudra that you will be in Govardhana Eco Village in January. We will join you there. We are on the United Nations Committe for Promoting a Peace Culture now".

 

It takes about two hours to do these 'Kapi Dhvaja's'. Are they worth it?   Fighting with the internet here in Radha Kunda, it has taken four hours.

 

We bought three simple student's school books in the local stationary booth at only 25-cents each!

So nice to work in one book, rather than scraps of paper to be assembled later.

 

Our journaling technique is always improving, if we can keep the mode of goodness.

True for you also?

Let us see the result!

 

Sunday, 9th, we did Diksa in Tamal Krsna Maharaja's Govardhana Ashrama.

A five day torrent of killer-rain was falling and all the land was sloppy or submerged, so the only place to work was the three sided cow-shed.

Moooo!

We isolated one space. Priest brought bags of nice paraphernalia, and then a cow released a small river of urine across our field of sacrifice!

In all it was so nice because we tried and Krsna is right here.

Could look across the garden and SEE Govardhana hill.

 

Our constant companions are Vipina bihari Das, Krsna loka Das, M. Tungavidya and Manipuri girl, but Ranchor and Govinda are 10-minute motor away and visit often... Sri Hari Das, Shyama sakhi Devi Dasi, Subhadra Devi Dasi et al.

Radha kunda is full of meetings, but about three different groups of people come driectly to our doorstep daily. GPS

 

Up at 1.08AM. Pushing to chant each round in 10-minutes with our old aged throat.

Mangala arati on our beautiful little altar.

About tree to five people here, hear, at 4.30AM.

Finish rounds.

Read TLC.

Receive guests, visit RKunda, every time a new aspect discovered. Always see its spiritual beauty.

It is radiated by the bustle of Pilgrims and the path filled with Temples (motor cycles, piercing horns...)

 

10th, Monday, attended the innauguration of Saccinandana Swami, Bhurijana Das and Other's ==[Govardhana Retreat Center]==.

Wow!

Over seven big buildings!

Hospice for 254 retreat participants.

Big hall, two small halls.

 

17th - Lokannatha Swami, 50th Diksa Anniversary and Bull Cart Trip of Prabhupada from Vrndavana to Govardhana. On stage for three hours under the scrutiny of over 2,500 people. Then Jaya advaita arrived and we snuck out. Such a heart touching program.

Contrasted with sitting alone for days in Murfreesboro Ashrama.

 

Regular Saturdays with Upendra Das.

NIOS work with Sumanta Rudra, Abhiseka Das and Srinivasa Das.

Start the editing of 'Diary of a Traveling Creature' movies two and three.

 

Well, guess that gives a taste of where we are at.

Live one day at a time - Alcoholics Anonymous.

Chant Hare Krsna and live one breath at a time.

Good night/Good morning.

 

BLOG

O.K!

Whatsapp is 90% under control.

Twitter is very essential.

There are so many people who know us now so that if you want to catch us, squeeze the infomation out of them.

ArtD/Ranchor's Airtel hotspot is very good. Krsna-svarrupa Das' ashrama is wonderful.

 

$$$

So little action that we won't post it.

Bipina, T'vdya pay all the expenses.

We get a lot of donations from all these guests.

 

GURU-TATTVA

Sataksi > Subhadra Dev Dasi

Jibesha Das > Jiva Goswami Das

Govinda pramodini Devi Dasi . Second Initiation.

 Hope to be here until January 10th.

29th November is H. H. Bhakti svarupa Damodara Swami Vyasapuja at his samadhi here and anniversary of HpSwami Sannyasa.

Sumanta Rudra coming for three days and we hope we can introduce BRC and NIOS people and motivate the Sankirtan.

24th December is HpSwamis Vyasa puja for everyone in the Parampara.

9th January maybe go to Delhi and the go to Bombay, Govardhana Eco-village until January 13th. then Manipura, Assam, Tripura, Manipura with Hari Dasa Dasa Swami.

24th Delhi and 25th with Dhruva to Madrid.

Maybe stay NVM for three weeks, them maybe go to the Canary Islands then Madrid to Houston 22 Feb.

About 4th March, exact date in the Blog, Monterrey for Gaura purnima and then Mexico City for Rama-navami weekend, then back to Houston.

Got all these tickets.

PIGGY'S PARTING PEARLS

Uncle Gismo is technological challenged here with the fire element, electronics, but walks barefoot and hangs a mosquito net with great ease.

We Tweet (huber_robinson) moment to moment Sankirtan news. We post daily type stuff on the Blog and patch together these Kapi Dhvajas fortnightly.

O.K. One hour getting our Web server to open, pasting stuff, editing, now hkhkkkhhhrhrrrhh

Let us send this and get back to our Japa and FMP.

We may pass out at any moment.


P.S. Couldn't post it at Webserver, so here it is.
