Dear Maharaja
pamho agtsp
Thank you very much for the invitation to Lima for Art and the Sacred. We are truly honoured. After much consideration with my good wife Dhanesvari we are thrilled to inform you that we accept your invitation. We have purchased our tickets already. My wife, our two daughters and I will all be in Lima from approximately 9th - 29th October 2018. We are very much looking forward to meeting with you again and assisting with this grand event in anyway possible.
HpS - 'are Krsna, Mate!!! AgtSP. We just got back to Murfreesboro, our Base Camp, and things do seem to be sorting out. Had to pay the gardener, pay the smog tester, pay the auto registration, chase out the rat, pay the auto insurer, deposit the NIOS donations, pay-refuel our Body, Buddy .... Can The Dhanesvari Devi Dasi, Mother of Two, write to the Abhirama thakura Das and get you all into the Event Management Team? I think you will find that there is a LOT of FUN work to do. You can even bring Primitive art from Australia.
We should have the link up for the S U P E R promo video that Oscar did in just a few moments.
A story.
This morning we drove to Brisbane. Passing us with great speed were two motorcycle riders who had thrown caution to the wind. Swerving in, around and through the array of vehicles moving in unison, it was like we were nothing but a stage for their selfish thrill seeking. The first rider to pass us was the alpha. He slowed to the legal speed in front of us then he sat up, lent to the side in a relaxed position and put his left hand on his thigh as if to say “65mph is my casual speed”. Arriving shortly after was the second rider who’s body language was timid and who appeared to be being pulled along by the influence of the first rider. Initially I was angry. How could they be so disrespectful to put the lives of myself and others in danger? After passing the fixed speed-camera check point they raced off weaving through the four lanes of traffic, putting all the weekend drivers on alert and on edge again. In watching this display I remained angry at them for a few moments until I realised that I do this also. In fact many of us do. If our commitment in life is “me” then everyone else around us, every other personality and object becomes the extras, the stage and the props for the “me show”. Not only do we then need others for our “me show” we actually think it is our right to have them. The motorcycle riders disappeared from relevance and we proceeded to the Brisbane Jaganatha Ratha Yatra where thousands gathered to pull Jaganatha back to Vrindavan in time for the eternal Radha Krishna show.

ASA - Such an incredible story! I remember some poetic lines coming on just that theme when I was stranded in the San Jose airport in Costa Rica for 5i-hours in transit. One young woman was walking back and forth with that kind of egoistic attitude, very well dressed.
I can I be a Temporary Standup, Standout, in your Spectacular?
Can I be an Extra in your Movie Show?
But the bizarre thing is that when you acknowledge peoples false egos, they feel really flattered and then they are willing to listen to other comments!
Prabhupada says in like Canto One where M. Yuddhisthira is seeing ill omens, about Chapter 13 or 14, that when the asses run in herds striking the ground with their feet that feel very respectable, "We are the asses!".
I saw two biker guys like that waiting for the light to change in front of our Temple in San Jose, reving their engines, and saluted them and they saluted back, "Another guy you dresses and lives like he wants to live. Hare Krsna, Dude!".
Prabhupada: A demon does not have to be an extremely ugly person or someone with fangs or horns. He can be very handsome. A demon is someone who is concerned with his own sense gratification even at the expense of others.
Great fotos. The picture of the Boar Hunt is a Super Classic. One thing it makes you think of is the fight between Lord Varaha and Hiranyanksa. https://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/3/18/10
Thank you.... Sir.
