A very nice devotee we have known, for many years, Ganga-mantri Das, has come to visit Nashville and really is looking to re-locate here. We had very nice discussions with him last night and this morning. He parked his van next to our mobile home and used the shower and we had morning program together.

Is hot here, 85% F. Puts pressure on us when we try to work but with the fan is not too bad.

Really getting settled after this tour. We did 14-citys in 5 weeks.

We checked in with Saranga thakura Das in Houston. Patrakito asked for details. We basically talked about the contacts that we made while traveling, devotees who wanted to start schools or who might be able to be North American Ministry Regional Respresentatives.

We also discussed the Calendar for January and February. Looks good for Rama-giridhari Das, Executive Secretary for Ministry, to visit Chile last week in January, first week in February. The essence of education is ecstacy and the essence of ecstacy is congregational chanting of the glories of the Lord.

Then we had to help move the tent for our 12-hour Kirtan and symposium for next weekend and were busting our brains to plan for the Celebrate Nashville Festival next month.

Finally, we mostly caught up on our essays for Canto Five for Bhakti-vaibhava. It is fun but our eyes just can't handle the computer anymore. Seems like we are more useful hearing things from people and giving our opinion over the phone.

Hare Krsna Hare Rama.

Our internet connection in the office is down but AT&T says they will have it working by Wednesday. Then we can use Start Meeting more for on-line Japa etc! We are doing this at Nitai-gaurasundara Das' home at 8.51PM. Every night we go for a walk in the same route. It always amazes me. It is like exactly 44.5 minutes every time! Amazing! Five minutes faster or five minutes slower???  No, exactly 44.5.

O.K. We answer one letter and then head to our cottage.

Oh! The TppCB8 is ready to ship. Anyone want a plain copy for reading and distribution?

Jaya Radhe!  Hare!
