AGTSP!
My body feels like hell.
How about yours?
It is not from any virus.
It always feels like this, but we can chant. Preach! and then this dead body becomes a arrow in the hands of the Gopis!

Such nice letters from Sarad G. in Manipur, Pandava in Spain, Gadai in Peru...
Boise Temple is just next to the California border, so Mangala arati is at 5.30AM which is really more like 4.30AM.
We got up early and started to chant. Went to Mangala arati in the Temple with five more devotees and sang from the depth of our bodily consciousness for the first time in weeks. It was so purifying, able to express our highest realization. Otherwise it gets rusted!
Some Japa with Bh. Nathan.
Class in our room.
Talk with Peru. We will cancel all South American tickets tomorrow.
May stay here for one more week.
Balabhadra Das and devotees brought lunch. Six course feast! We tried to eat sanely, but is always a struggle. We could not eat the Kitri. the cinamon rolls were the best I ever remember.
Lots and lots and lots and lots of talks with devotees individually. Confidential. Philosophical. Personal. Intense. Friendly.
Tonigh at 7PM will be Ananta'rupa Das´ BG group. Only the first 9-people admitted. Will be on www.gotomeeting.com
Got back in touch with the ISKCON Board of Examnations (BOEX) for Bh. Vai. etc and we are back with the Ministry of Education, Executive Committee in general.
We feel that we have a personal service to Srila Prabhupada. We hope others also feel that.
Then, it is our personal duty to Srila Prabhupada to see that his institution, ISKCON GBC is getting the best service that we can offer. We need to offer criticism and construction. Be servants. Appreciate others. We have so many faults!
How can we expect the Institituion and its Head, the GBC, to have anymore health and vitality than our body has. Inspire the devotees who take up these services with great wealth, words, intelligence.
If you protect Dharma, then Dharma will protect you.
