aare Krsna!

You can see from the letter to Dr. Kalyankumar Chakravarty that we are under great pressure here, but also experiencing great association and Sankirtan.

We are on the second story here in Mathuresa Das' home. The keys on this computer are different than what is marked on the keyboard. We have stomach turmoil even after some milk and a nice bananana, but when we hear about the HELL people face in Serbia and such, then we don't complain. It is gettng dark. It is about 46-degrees Farenheit and night and gets a little warm during the day. There is a lot of sunlight and fresh air. You can walk out the door and see, smell, cows. There are so many devotees today arriving from La Paz etc. Some disciples no one has seen for more than a year!  Someone is chanting with the harmonium downstairs and in 14-minutes we will all pile in cows, mount motor cycles and take the 15-minute drive to Cochabamba where the temple is in Rudra simha Das home.

Hamlet and Arjuna played to a full auditorium last night with good questions - What is Karma? Did Hamlet have a Guru like Arjuna had?

We gave class on SB 6.9.31 plus this morning, went for a walk up the back roads to Tiquipaya with about 15 devotees and sat in the Church for some Japa. We wrote letters. You can see them. Shaved in the cold water.

Now we will write a short story.

TREE TOP TELL TALES

Once there was a donkey named Dilson who spoke Latin and French.

He did not know the difference between atoms and Adam, but he loved to recite the books of Prabhupada while sitting in the park on a bench.

It was summer and the beach was visible below. People would come and spread their blankets each day, and though he never talked with them they all stayed and listened to the poems.

He read of the Sone of Drona Punished and Krsna Enters Dvaraka.

After all this he dug deep into cyber space and found other stories of Sita and Rama.

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

When the puris puff up and Baby Krsna laughs and claps His hands, everything is very, very nice.
