asa[e] vaidhi bhakti

All glories to Prabhu pada, 

I am a Brahmachari from India and met you in Amsterdam.

I wanted to ask you ,how I can reduce my sleep to 4 hours daily.

For a long time I try it by reduced eating and regulation but I have to take 5 hours rest to the body.

Your servant

We remember H. H. Tamal-krsna Goswami commenting to Srila Prabhupuada that one devotee in Los Angeles was sleeping more than six hours a day.

Srila Prabhupada answered firmly, that what was the difficulty with that if, when he was awake, he did three times as much work as TkD did.

Hmmm. Big topic, but seems that some jobs require that we let the body sleep more to recover.

O.K.

To our mind, we remember that the American philosopher, Benjamin Franklin commented that one should not eat to dullness.

Jayananda Das told us that he had tried so many diets but the one that actually seemed to work was: Don't eat too much and work hard.

Chant HK/HR while you eat, while you fill your plate, while you digest.

Pray to Krsna to engage your senses in His service etc.

I useful?

We might be able to say more but please post in our Blog. Then the dialog can be useful to many other devotees.

Thank you!!

asa- agtsp. this got lost, delayed.

Hare Krishna, Maharaja and dear devotees.

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The purpose of this message is to start discussion about the timings for our weekly sanga of SB workshop. Maharaja's travel dates are as follow:

Spain: September 10 - September 17 & October 09 - December 03

India: September 17 - October 09

The time difference between Spain and USA (EST) is +6.0 hrs.

The time difference between India and USA (EST) is + 9.5 hrs.

During a preliminary discussion, Maharaja was thinking of doing SB workshop on Friday at 7: 00 pm - 7:30 pm when he is in Spain. Maharaja is visiting India for 3 weeks in those 3 weeks he is going to spend 2 weeks in Manipur, where internet access can be a problem due to political situation.

Point of Discussion:

What time we shall have a for weekly SB workshop class during Maharaja's visit in Spain?

Shall we have weekly SB workshop reading during Maharaja's visit to India?

HpS/ASA - Thank you! In other post we have made some comments on this.

We are waiting for comments from devotees in Spain.

Also, for India it seems best not try to connect by internet for classes for the full three weeks.

We can work out something else!
