Discourse

of a

Traumatic

Citizen

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami,

pamho, AgtsP!

  Responding on some of your ongoing queries with d’ Blog, some difficulties in the format for me, the flow, a bit quirky, jostling questions out of sequence. Since the blog is not always a linear discourse, it will be tricky with this old mind of mine. Regardless, a reasonable challenge and therapeutically appreciated.

  On the personal bhakti hygiene and regulated life style I’m getting consistent in japa, study and occasional rest. Hypervigilance with the mind does need proper engagement, or it wanders into the webs of digital and physical clinginess. Every morning starts between 2- 4 am, with japa and Mangal Arotika daily at home and occasionally at New Raman Reti, usually on special Vaisnava days (of course, they are all special), I will continue this regime till I’m longer here to do so... then wherever I may be.

  “Guaracandra” Prabhu is a friend and shipping supervisor from BBT in L.A. I occasionally order books from him; he posted the info on Maharaja Giriraja Swami.

  In our prior letter, you asked if I had a Brahma-muhurta project. Actually, I do, that is, if writing a “San Francisco Ratha Yatra Roadies” handbook is worthy.

ASA 🦍 🐒 🐒 🐒 perfecto.

  Hoping to complete the SFRY Roadie before this year’s Ratha Yatra, for my service is changing. Last SFRY I was returning the rental truck and grazed a car, year before backed into another. I'm getting too old to drive 25’ Bob-Tail trucks, plus, my bay-area edge is gone, I'm driving in Florida now. Granthraja agrees, so we will see what’s in store this year. The book will also help others who may get thrown into some service.

Thus far, I am fully engaged. When not on seva, I am working on devotees' home maintenance projects (Jagaraini and Akrurunatha are here now, along with Bahushira and his good wife), at least while I can. I am still trying to finish our own garden, and that’s on the back burner. However, I am looking forward to more home-based work.

I hope that this short epistle answered some of your queries, early and late. As mentioned, blog etiquette is a new thing for me.

Bhisma Pancaka Ki Jaya!

Hare Krishna! 

HpSwami ASA - Blog is like a group of devotees out for a Japa walk.
