Hare Krsna,  AGTSP, paoho...
It is 8.51PM.   We are in NGD living room. He is across the room from us. It is a very comfortable Grhastha Ashrama, compared to our Sannyasi cave, but also everyone running around screaming and yelling, loading and unloading. We could not concentrate to well on the two "Little Urgent" letters, but go them done.

We are really, really struggling to advance our service. Who are we? What is ISKCON? What is our little community, ASA, NIOS within ISKCON?  How can we control the tigers of our senses?
We still are not eating as well as we could and so we are causing permanent damage to our body. If you live less than 100-years you are sinful.

Of course, no meat, no fish, no eggs, no onion, garlic, but Chocolate? Condensed Milk???  Fruit at night...
... We, you, are evil. We eat too many sweets, pizza, popcorn... but then we get a little control. We start to keep a regular schedule. We follow our list of priorities.

Nehaabikramo naso sti..   We make a little progress in Sadhana, Vaidhi bhakti, and it is eternal.   We only 50% evil. Other 50% is that we are facing very, very challenging problems. Who else has a passion for our natural Sankirtan? Who else has discovered the best current works on Carl Jung? Of course, you have your passion and nature in Sankirtan. We don't know how to cook pizza, but it can be wonderful Sankirtan.

So, we are pushing, pushing, pushing: NGD, NIOS Board of Directors, North American GBC et al.  What is their Sankirtan.
