06/03/16  Esteemed Guru Maharaja:   Hare Krsna!!  Dandavats and Pranams     All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!!!!!!

For some reason, microsoft kept on blocking access to my account, so there was delay in accomplishing the edit for you.  Computer was at Geek Squad off and on.  Finally got the problem "permenantly" solved and then finished the project quickly.  Did the hard copies arrive on Tues?  I sent them next day mail, so they should have.  Did the attachment of soft copy open correctly?   If I did not correctly perform the assigned task, please let me know so i can further edit it quickly before you leave on next preaching mission.  Thank you so much for allowing me this seva.

Thank you most sincerely for the quality time we were invited to spend with you in Boise!!!! Becoming acquainted with God Brothers and Sister there was really a blessing!!!  Adjusting to non-temple life upon returning was really difficult.  Of course, taking Radha-Gopinatha's darshan upon return did soften the blow!!

etc:  You may remember Jaya Krsna Das.  He and family attended our home program here last year.  He asked you a question.  You said that, by his question, you could see he is in mode of goodness.  Anyway, I mention him because he has asked me to ask you a very specific question.  He is one of the most strict (attention to detail is remarkable) and serious devotees  I know.  It would not have occured to me to ask you the following question.  Knowing him makes me realize how little advancement I have made.

Question:  There is a website developed by a disciple of yours, Prahlad Nrsimha Das.  It is vedabase.com, an offering of Bhagavad Gita As it Is  in Tamil language.  Jaya Krsna Das has been asked to help with the editing or proof-reading of this e-publication.  Prabhu has assured him this project has been ok'd by GBC.  However, it is important to Jaya Krsna Das that you also have sanctioned or "authorized" your disciple to carry on this service.  If you are not agreeing with this service, then Jaya Krsna Das will respectfully decline to participate in the proof reading.  If you have "authorized" your disciple to do this service, he will be glad to help and is waiting for your reply to make his decision.  Authorized by you?

Lastly, thank you very much for teaching me the correct way to lead Maha Mantra kirtan at Boise Temple.  At Sac ISKON, the group just will not respond unless the kirtan leader leads the response.  I don't know if its the size of the room and the devotees are spread out, or the acoustics are poor so they can't hear each others voices, or what.  But, I have just become used to leading the response after doing so for the last two years and now do it without thinking.  When you gave me  instruction during the kirtan, I  lost my train of thought.  Because of my head surgery, this can happen and it is really difficult for me to find the connection in my "data base" again.  When I'm fully engaged and there is an interruption, it's like my brain crashes and I can't find the neuro-connections again for awhile.  It's like i temporarily seriously forget what I previously knew how to do. (Don't get a brain tumor is my advice (;>))

You are always welcome to correct me. I wonder you don't do so more frequently since I'm such a fool.  It may have seemed as if I was offended. I was not.  The truth is that when I suddenly loose the neuro connection mid-task, it is quite un-nerving, quite disconserting, almost like I don't know where I am.  It's a little scary.  Even though I understand the phenomonon, it is an emotional experience for me.  Hope this is clarifying.  You would have no way of knowing this about me.  It is fairly common for people with post-traumatic brain syndrom.

Remaining your devoted and unworthy servant,

Kalindi devi Dasi

HpS - ASA -- Harer Krsna!   AGTSP   paoho.    Yes!    The hard copy arrived.   The soft copy opened and I was able to glance at the contents. They seemed fine. Thank you!      We talked with Dr. Samaresh and Rama-giri-dhari Das in India this morning and now we are editing the Promotional Flyer that will be the first use of the Prospect List. We will use it again and again and maybe update it and put it into a Database.
Thank you very much for the information about the brain reaction. Is very interesting. As a devotee it gives you such a chance to see how the donkey works and realize that you are not this Donkey.

Yes, Prahlada-nrsmha Das', Vedabase.com project is approved by the European BBT, Vanipedia and the BBT Archives. It is officially a branch of the ISKCON Anjana Suta Academy whose GBC Secretary is Tamohara Das, and we, as far as our authority goes have the very best wishes for him in the project. He is a very, very nice person, with a very, very, very, very nice wife and we discuss with him his ideas for the project. I don't really see any better Sankirtan in ISKCON than this project. Of course, there are other projects just good.
