Hare Krsna.

We are about to explode. Maybe there were too many peas in our porridge today.   It is 5.49PM.   We have already had two or three pretty intense programs today and now we will have a birthday party for Abhi Thakura's good wife, Maria. Then we will go to the airport and chant rounds until midnight, fly to Mexico. There are about 25-devotees here and increasing. So often so many devotees want 'just one minute Maharaja' at the last minute, but really they want to explain their specific situation, often in great emotional detail, and then receive a solution.
Mangala ananda said recently, "After seven years I have realized that you are my Guru, not my psychologist".  If you have both it can be a very happy life (forever).

Hare Krsna.

What does Krsna want (to play)?   We can be the center of attention of hungry wolves, or people offering us money, or ... but really it is Krsna who is the center, so we can just relax and let him direct us as He likes.
