Hare Krishna, dear GM, Pamho.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I'm just fine. I little fall down. Gettin up late, the flu, weak rounds, lots of ice-cream and cookies, movies, discouranged, depressed...but still alive. Trying to adjust goals, NIMSAR perspective, relationship with ISKCON administration (getting worse), etc.
I want to fix Bhakti BV. My situation and my students situation. I guess first step is applying to BVB Godfather program. So, I'm requesting to participate in that program. Please, we merciful to me as always, and allow me to be part of it.
Lots of details we can talk later. I still have a few hot topics about temple, sankirtan, and ashrama situation.
This is it for now. Just wanted to say that I'm still here, damaged, wounded, but alive.
Your servant,
LAD
HpS - Ooof! We were very worried about you. Hadn't heard for several days. Called and no answer. We avoid the cookies (unless cooked by devotees), but at times we have also drowned out sorrow in ice cream (Prasadam).
We have been trying. Three times we were so disturbed by ISKCON politics, administracion that we were ready to leave the management structure (starve to death and go to Srila Prabhupada), but each time we saw that the GBC et al adjusted their programs. For example, Guru tattva after Prabhupada left.
Pretty early, we remember, we were walking up a hill in San Francisco on the way to work. We were living in the Temple and working at a bank corporation 4-12-midnight. We were thinking about hell in the Ashram, devotee conflicts, trying to serve, and at that point we made this committment, we weren't intiated then, that no matter who fell away, even if everyone was crazy, we would not give up trying to help Srila Prabhupada in his mission.
Have you had a similar realization? I guess so. Then, its a matter of seeing how much ice cream you actually need. Kardama needed a wife (very nice wife!). Arjuna needed a manly shoulder to cry on and some good counseling (already had a wife).
Have you read all Six Cantos with our ASA CSGs? If yes, then you, seems also La Brujita Blanca del Sur (Kumari Yugala kishora Dasi) can join this review, but... can you join us Saturday Night Live?
We need a translator. Actually the PPTX shows could be available each morning and then adjusted by 6PM. Hmmm.
We asked ART to get Ekanatha-gaura Das to call us about the administration.
1. Who are you?
2. Find your friends in ISKCON.
3. Make some plans.
4. Acquire your tools (typewriters (attack camels (freeze dried ice-cream))).
Please write as often as you can. Make news (and die).
