6.15PM. The sun sets at 4.30PM now and so it is kind of depressing in the evening. Also, we are a Sannyasi so we are alone a lot and have to work alone like Hanuman looking wof Sita alone.

It can become very intense, depressing, causing doubt, but also can get a lot done this way.

We are O.K. We will put a letter we wrote Dr. Samaresh after this. It gives some perspective on our situation. Answered about five letters. Very nice. Had a hellish fight with the Money Gram people. They decided that Arya-srestha das, Karuna-shakti devi dasi
 and I were like drug dealers and thus they would not transfer the money we are trying to send for M. Jambavati's auto-biography and dental surgery. Some went. It is funny. We will try to send another way.

At the time of death we become very morose and the only enthusiasm is our transcendental relation with Krsna, and that can be like the sun!

The letter to Dr. Samaresh explains the general challenges and so far we are doing well adjusting our work load and then we can more easily see what Krsna wants.

O.K. Post that letter and then maybe go get the Money Gram refund and then go to NGD's and Mother Matsya and Abhiseka's and Radha-Natabara's Ashrama, and go for our 44.5 minute evening, night-time walk. Is down to freezing a night now. We got our warm jacket from Tandavika's house. We offer Lord Nrsmhadeva a blend of two bananas, apple juice and some p-nut butter for breakfast, and his kitri of of green split peas and rice and potatoes and carrots and celery with ghee and salt for lunch.

Esteemed Professor,
Hare! Hare! Krsna.... We hope this meets you in the best of spirits. Our physical machine is in extreme malfunction. We had some general irritation from under the skin starting about three weeks ago. Now it has erupted in some places with small prickles, itching, burning.
Maybe reaction for accepting disciples, and our own stupid actvities.
Creates some fever feeling, little nausea etc.
We have not been able to do much work.
Retreating to intense Nama-japa puts us in touch with pure life and that seems to be the real hope of curing this disease.
We chant and chant and chant and then the external world gets a little ordered. Diet only such as celery and split mung dahl.
Letters to friends.
Other work hovering on the edge.
Also feet swollen and another incisor may need dentist.
Is very, very funny for us... . we can see this body is a garbage covering the soul, unless Krsna wants to use it for mundane Sankirtana.
Sanjaya sent the book.
We very eager to take a look.
If we had not met Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada we would be in a real mess now, but on the contrary we see that nothing can stop the chanting of the Holy Names.

We submit our little news and pray that we can get a little simple service to perform in this Sankirtan movement of Sri Krsna Caitanya with your esteemed self.
