Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
These days we are doing the renovation of the flat we live in. Specifically, the temple/living room and the hall. For that we have finances. The house is 45 years old and it needs fixing. There was mold on the walls. Air was going through the windows, which is nice in the summer but not in the winter. The restoration will include the windows, walls, floor, electric wiring. For furniture we do not have finances right now.
HpS - ASA -- Very nice! If you die soon it will mean good income for you descendents when you sell it also!
Doing all that work and living and working in the same place takes a lot of energy and good organization, cleaning, etc.
Reading Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur's commentary on Bhagavad-gita.
ASA - Jaya!! Please share what you read... !
One point is that BG we have to interpret, only rightly so. For example, Krsna says to Arjuna”Fight”. This does not mean that I should go to war and kill people around. It means, do your duty, according to your nature, by following Krsna's plan (which is a good plan for everyone) and [hopefully] for His satisfaction.
I'm in the process of digesting our last exchange.
Next two weekends will spend with devotees doing bhajans.
Health challenge – for years dealing with lack of energy. Few months ago diagnosed with high lactose intolerance. Was doing Bioresonance therapy and it looks the intolerance is normalized. Still, have to take care of intake of milk products. Also, the sciatic pain and general back pain are there. When standing or walking 2 to 4 hours, the spine pain is so strong that I almost cannot think. Trying to do yoga asanas to mitigate, as it looks there are no other things that are there to rejuvenate the “dwindling machine”.
HpS - Do you have Iyengar Yoga studio where you live?
Catching up with your classes on e-sanga and Saturday StartMeetings.
Your servant Namacarya das
HpS - Thank you very, very much for you association. We are planning on making a strong contribution to the Sannyasi Guru GBC Sanga in Mayapura the 10-13th of February. Is there a collection of instuctions (guess mostly letters) that Prabhupada gave on the topic, especially the instruction that the GBC position could be for life?
