Hare Krishna, Siksha Guru Maharaja; please kindly accept my most humble obeisances; all glories to Srila Prabhupada; all glories to your good self, his exemplary disciple;

HpS//ASA --- AgtSP. Paoho. we feel like 87% egoistic morons, so any advice we can give will be mostly from SP in spite of us!

all glories to all the devotees of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. I trust that all is going well with you in your own devotional service.

HpS/ASA - 😆

I finished my rounds this morning.

HpS/ASA - It 🌞

is at 3:18 Post Meridian, pushed both long, hard and sharp this morning for our Japa, and we still need to finish 8-rounds. Yet, the quality of the Japa is better than ever.

There was a feeling of surprise when I did, as if saying to myself "is that all? Shouldn't there be more?" Lately, I have had to wait until late in the evening to finish my rounds. I get very disturbed when I fail to finish my rounds in the morning. I keep vowing to not let it happen again, but I am embarrassed to say that sometimes it does. I have so much sinful karma and so many anarthas in my heart.

HpS/ASA - Ditto except we don't feel any real, "is that all". A little passes our mind, but we are so satisfied being able to do the Vaidhi bhakti that we are permitted to do.

Lately, I sometimes find myself feeling rather cold and heartless towards the world around me, not caring for the troubles of others so much, nor the political intrigue sensationalized in the media. Neither am I interested in the accomplishments and preaching efforts of the greater, worldwide ISKCON: which is probably a very offensive for me to think and feel. I feel so removed from all caring, like I'm in another world.

By your grace my daily sadhana is still happening, with Deity worship, Tulasi prayers and prayers to the spiritual master.

HpS - Our grace???? His Divine Grace? Yes, His Divine Grace and your and my and Niti-sara Das grace added like little peanuts to His Divine Grace's grace?

My daily readings of Srimad Bhagavatam and my japa are still ongoing. My online attendance of the Hawaii classes each morning is still happening, pretty much every day-unless something unexpected arises. My evening online attendance and my hosting classes on Bhagavad gita 3 times a week is still ongoing. I'm still maintaining my Prison Ministry preaching via conventional mail. And lastly, my distribution of books whilst driving for Uber continues, as modest as it may be.

HpS - As the black doctor told Janis Joplin when she described her daily drinking standard, "Honey, you do'in jus fine"!

I will close here, so as not to annoy you further with my lunacies.

Please kindly bless us so that we can remember Krishna in our final moments. I wonder if I will be so fortunate as to remember Krishna in my moment of death. I think about such things a lot: I'm 74.

Yls, Bbd 🙏🙏

- Honey, you do'in jus fine! ... Yet, gotta keep push'n. Wanta be Nabadvipa vasi, Radhakunda grass in next life. Or just closer to Srila Prabhupada's sankirtan, no?
