Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

Still in room 404, ISKCON Kolkata, Guest House.
Yesterday, Monday, we left the temple at 6.30AM in the company of Raja-gopal Agrawaal or someone of a similar name. Uber driver from Indianapolis 500.

Went to where was Prabhupada's birth place. Five story walk up to 25 university students living in ISKCON Student's ashrama. About 400-students in different ISKCON Kolkata University Ashramas.

Kirtan, class, discussion about NIOS.   Fight to get to Asutosh College, 100-years old. Hall was full: 120 students and 5-professors, 75% girls (!).

Wanted to lecture for 45-minutes and then Q & A, but they kept pushing so was 1-1/2-hours, and now planning for more programs, even writing for 'Solaris'.

Back to the Temple!  6.30AM - 2.30PM.    Aaaaaaargh!    Had to rest Brother Ass.

 

Sunday was the same. SB, Sunday Feast Lecture, sold 41-LOBs, every day working on next book with Dr. Samaresh, promoting NIOS.

Now, tomorrow we fly... Zoom!   Zoom!  Zoom! to Agartala, North East, Jungle, Head-hunters, followers of Lord Caitanya for 300-years. Temples of straw. Hari Bolo!

We just look at the mail, for any URGENT letters and hope to get to it later.

Lot of stress, but we rest.

As long as we get up early and get good rounds done, then we always can help a little with the Sankirtan.

7.28PM
We just saw Dr. Samaresh off. He had to go back to the Asiatic Society and then home.

Chest pains are like 93% reduced.
