HpS - ASA --- AGTSP!!!!! This is a serious problem. This could mean the end of the three worlds! The Earth falling into the sea! The blood is running cold in our veins! What is the problem? The web page doesn't open? You have an account and the password don't werke??
You should not have to mow the lawn in Tennessee. Srila Prabhupada told Tamal Krishna Goswami that a sannyas should have some brahmachari assistants, and brahmacharis need to have a sannyasi to serve and learn from.
HpS - ASA - I have five offers of gardeners but we LOVE doing our yard work. We want to expand it and grow potatoes!!
I arrived for work at the American Airlines Center in Dallas,Texas on Thursday morning, to do my job setting up the audio for Queen to perform their famous "Bohemian Rhapsody." Our sign in time was 07:30 with hammers in the air at eight.
After signing in and getting my gear together, I sat down to relax until 08:00 and read the newspaper I had bought earlier that morning. I opened my bag and lamented that I had not put the paper in it before leaving the house. So I decided to read some of a copy of "Easy Journey to other Planets" that I always have in the front pouch.
A new hire to the company named Mason was sitting on the road case next to mine. He looked over and said, "What do you got there?" I replied it was "a book from India, it inspired the music of the Beatles and Stevie Wonder."
He gestured me to hand it to him, and then he opened it and was fascinated with the first sentence, "Materialistic Science may one day finally discover the eternal anti material world which has for so long been uknown to the wranglers of gross materialism,"
I showed him the pictures, explained the changing body as the soul just passing through, and told him that I was going by Kalachandji's that evening and could bring him a copy of this book for 2 dollars. Mason said he would like that very much.
We came back that night to work the loadout for a 21:30 call. I did not have an "Easy Journey" at home so I brought a "Beyond Birth and Death." Mason just happened to arrive at the same time asI did. After we both passed through security and were heading downstairs I said, "Mason, I brought that book for you." He said "Oh great" and pulled out the laxmi for it.
I said, "Now you can associate with Srila Prabhupada by reading this book." He looked at the picture of his divine grace on his beautiful new book, and asked "Is he someone famous?" to which I could only say "Mason, If you only knew how famous he is."
Your Servant, Mishra Bhagavan Dasa
