Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I was not able to attend Tuesday’s NoI session. I had to help our neighbor’s daughter with her college essays. I will watch the recording.

I have throat pain since Monday. It is not getting better. I am hoping it’ll be better in the next few days. Everyone here near the temple has been going through the same symptoms.

HH Hrdayananda Maharaja was here in Dallas. We met him and gave him a copy of TPP. He very fondly remembered you as his old friend 😲

Ayurvedic doctor said: Throat pain means acceptance ie. There is something that you can't swallow??? 🤔

Thank you so much for passing the TPP to him. We hope it finds its place in ISKCON Education.

Thank you for the news!

[10/20/2023 10:43 AM] TVKDas: I have never thought of it that way.. We are not sure what we are not able to swallow.. I am usually able to get over things.

[10/20/2023 10:46 AM] ASA-Ape/Pig: Now is time to "get over this material existence"? 🙂

TVKDas: Yes Guru Maharaja 🙂 I am at a point where I can clearly realize the Dhukalayam and Asasvatam aspects that Krishna mentions. But we are still no where close to sustained spontaneous devotional service. At times I am spontaneous about my service but most of the time, I have to force my mind to do things. Especially in situations like now, where the body is weak and only wants to rest... I have to force myself to chant!

ASA-M/P: Yes, but the little man, the homunculous, under all the garments likes to chant. Disease is an opportunity to chant from the soul. NoI 7 in the beginning, but quickly becomes NoI 8! Don't miss this opportunity! Disease doesn't come everyday!
