Hari bolo!
We are almost on the ground. We will still probably have Jet-lag for a week. Now it is 2.45PM in Lima, so our body is completely awake. If we go to bed now, our regular time, we will just lie there awake. Then during the day we are hardly able to stay awake.
However, we have been able to get a little systematic communication going, work on projects. We prepared for our week-long seminar on NOI by reviewing our Annotated ASA NOI. It’s always updated at the Web page as:
www.jayarama.us/archives/asa-noi.doc
It is very satisfying. Then about 45-devotees came for the class after the Arati. As usual some guests are here staying in the Guest House. It was pretty satisfying. We didn’t distribute any NOI’s but hopefully it will have that effect down the line. Someone will appreciate it and distribute it. If we had some copies we could have offered discount price, autographed copys and distributed some. We will keep working on our book distribution.
That’s about it.
We noticed during Japa, that as often, we felt bad to start with, but chanting adjusted our Prana and then after some time we felt good. Japa satisfies many necessities.
Did a truck load of work on Bhakti-sastri today with VEDAS. Now we will post this to the Letter Blog and HpSwami will answer some of the Letters. Then I guess we might be sleepy and get up by 1.15AM.
We are reading David Haberman’s Bhakti-rasa-amrta-sindhu Preface for our class next week and for our Bhakti-vaibhava curriculum.
