Hare Krsna!
A G T S P !
paoho. Here we are in Nitai-gaurasundara Prabhu, Mother Matsya, Sruti, Abhiseka, Manjari, Radha Vrndavana-natabara, Nitai-Gaurasundara's Ashrama in Tennessee. It is 1.08AM in the morning. We are like 75% Krsna-conscious with option to increase it more and more.
-Our eyes cannot handle this computer screen much more.
-Our respiration, cadio-vascular etc are fine.
-For 63-years old this body is in good shape.
YESTERDAY we had a very crucial meeting scheduled with Laksmana-agraja Prabhu to work out people's personal commitments in Nimsar. He was too busy to attend with his engagements with the Deity worship of Radha Madana-bihari, Christmas marathon book distribution and Temple Festivals. Going through, Patraka, Candra-mukhi, Om Purnam and Jesus Christ Prabhu's, we, Monkey and Piggy (and HpSwami and Uncle Gismo), finally got in touch with him through Skype and Yahoo mail.
Ooooof!
He explained why he wasn't availble for the meeting with us in the morning but that he had been able to meet with Mother Rohini and Ananga and had some idea why they had dropped out of the BhVai classes and were not answering our letters. A large part of it was that robbers broke into their house and stole all their money, including the Nimsar money and their computer was also lost.
We were very disturbed (but we also always laugh at our disturbances) that they had not invested the 35-cents required to use a public computer to communicate this to us.
IT SEEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE IN ISKCON HAVE DIFFERENT PRIORITIES THAN US.
This is O.K. Iskcon is a big ship. As a diksa-guru as Srila Prabhupada's servant we don't require that your work in the Sankirtan movement of ISKCON with us, however, we do require that you have a practical relationship with some aspect, someone, in the Administration of Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON, Sankirtana, movement and:
We require that you report it to us once a year and:
It may be that there are those masquerading like Kali as ISKCON administrators, GBC, Temple President, BBT, but who are actually, practically, agents of Kali, and we have to learn to make fine discriminations to distinguish them, and the same faults, in ourselves, and make progress in our Sankirtana service.
MONKEY: Wow, well written but a little dense.
PIGGY: Thank you. We Pigs are by nature a little dense.
MONKEY: So the bottom line is?
PIGGY: Nimsar is like 97.7% closed as a Branch of ASA. We are happy to go ahead with anybody individually in these educational programs of ASA, and we ourselves have a lot of work to do to get it together. We have to read the KRSNA book more consistently and go on purifying our association more and more, but now that things are clear with Laksmana Prabhu and Mothers Rohini and Ananga and NIMSAR it is like a breath of fresh air. We hope it is the same for them also.

Disciples.
Disciple means he follows someones discipline. It's 1.32AM. We did 33-rounds yesterday, but we are still we are a gob behind on our 25-daily from all this over endeavor with different projects and other offenses in our service. So we must follow Srila Prabhupada's discipline more strictly but not fail to appreciate that we are all doing good things and improve them. This is devotee society, not demoniac society, but we have to advance to Uttama-adhikari.
1.36AM - R(0) . . . See you soon. Japa - Sankirtana! ! ! !
