Hare Krsna.

We are in the Lotus Lodge in Chosika. It is about 35KM from Lima. We are here for an ASA retreat for Friday, Saturday, Sunday. It will be a lot of fun and very instructive. We are near the Temple and many of the programs will be there. The Dean of the Jesuit University will be staying in the same room as ourselves and Abhirama Th. Das.

We are using ARTD cell phone as a hot spot, so we have to write quick to not use up much of his data.

We had Mangala arati in his ashrama with about 12-devotees and 9-on line. Then packed and went the temple in Wilson with Yamunesvara das, gave class, did Guru-puja and honered Prasadam. Then to Rupanuga Caitanya Das; home and many mystical discussions. He is about 85% recovered from his thrombosis. We had Kirtan and left a copy of Oscar's  "Art and the Sacred" movie with him.

Hours of pushing through traffic. The dangers of collision, the noise are all very painful.

Then we made it to the Temple and for noon arati, Maha-prasadam with five devotees and two cats Had  a very nice discussion on fund raising for Radha Madana-bihari with Nitya-kinkari Devi Dasi.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna. 9.04 PM
