Hare Krishna

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Progress In Hawaii! I've managed to raise myself to a proper standard (again). Without going into great detail, I can honestly say that I know by raising my own standard, those in the Ashram, and living outside have been positively influenced by it. We have one new devotee here in the temple. And an old friend from Los Angeles is going to be coming here for some time also. Krishna is surely making arrangements at this temple.

The college programs are almost on their way. We'll start hosting programs within a week and a half. I was also thinking of looking into preaching at the local jail.

The devotees in the Ashram are on a rotation giving Bhagavad Gita classes in the evenings. That has been really nice. I love to preach!!!!

I've asked the Temple President to write to the blog, but he hasn't got around to it yet. He seems quite busy. I'll continue to remind him.

What is your opinon on ISKCON as a designation? There is a slight feud between Narayan devotees, and ISKCON devotees. I think it is too bad that we can't all get together and chant, and read the Sastras. Do you think of yourself as an ISKCON guru?

Do you have any disciples travel with you? What does that require?

Would you be able to make it here to Hawaii anytime? What would that require?

Your humble servant,

Bhakta Adrian Chavez

HpS - AGTSP   pamho.   We just made it to Vrndavana!     It is 8.50PM.       We are as tired as dogs.     Castle, Brussels, 8 hour plane trip, overnight in Dehli at Gokula-hari Das's house, five devotees with us, 4-hours to Vrndavana by auto, 8-more devotees to receive us.  It is just like home.  It smells like India.

BG class was not too stimulating for us. (We are demons).
The crowds are so great that Gaura-arati was impossible.  The weekend will be even more intense. So, maybe we all go to the Gosala and have our own arati!

I don't know if we can get to Hawaii???        I don't know.     Nobody travels with us as a secretary but, for example, on this trip Prahlada and Ambarisa and Vicotoria were all on the same airplane and we are staying kind of together.   Nothing formal.

Ramananda said he would look for you.

Gotta rest or die now!
