Hare Krsna,

AGTSP paoho.  We are depressed, with stomach ache etc. etc.  Haw!     Haw!   Haw!     Our Donkey.   It is 5.25PM and dark and cold outside.  No people.  We started just eating rice and beans prasad today, once a day and so far it is good. It is depressing, but we learn to substitute water and little exercise, dancing.

Out visit to D.C. has been wonderful. All cities so far have been wonderful.  We are cementing 10,000 times stronger relations with the ISKCON leaders here.  We have done programs in 6-colleges and universities so far.

Tomorrow we fly to Raleigh.

While we were tackling our Letters and Essays, Abhirama Das called from Peru. We talked to him for about 30-minutes. He has very practical work he is doing there. We are developing very good relations there with first class university people.

We also got a very thoughtful letter from the Catur-atma Das about his work in the administration in Peru and we were advising him to adjust in terms of his age but continue until 50-years old with his mental strength, then continue with his intellectual contribution.

We feel very happy that we followed this once a day eating all Kartika and now are stepping it forward for Katyayani vrata. The purpose of all of this is to increase book distribution. Doesn't mean just quantity but also quality.

O.K.   Here we go to the temple. The Temple has about 20-acres of land here. It is one of the riches area. One cow, now.

Hare Krsna!!!
