=============================================
1. JAPA JOE – Sit and
breathe properly with the proper attitude. Chant 24-hours a day.
2. BHAKTI SASTRI – Hey we’re on
vacation, no? Haw! Haw!
Actually pushing with Gaudiya-matha, Bhakti-vaibhava, Sannyasa dharma
and next Radha-desa, but by the unlimited mercy of Srila Prabhupada and his
disciples, Bhakti sastri seem
to be moving ahead on schedule.
a. We finished reviewing Srinivasa’s 2nd Semester Evaluation. We
posted it on the Web and you can look-if-you-like:

c. SPACE OPEN: Only Srivasa Pandita Das, Patraka Das and Srinivasa Das are keeping up with the Calendar, so I guess
we can take two more Students for the next Semester if anyone wants to do the
regular Calendar study with us. We are
here in Vraja with Raktaka Prabhu for example. He knows so much. We just need to offer general standard for
devotees like him, there are a lot. Then they can do the finishing touches on
their own and take the examination in December. We give a physical visit to our
regular Students.
3. BHAKTI
VAIBHAVA REVIEW
- Couldn't get the SB in Manipur so we fell five days behind, but here in Vrndavana they've established a great library in Prabhupada's room. One Mauritius devotee is librarian.
We've read to Canto 4, Chapter 25, and as usual our notes are appended to:
www.jayarama.us/archives/tpp-bv.txt
We
discovered so many wonderful things.
4. SANKIRTANA
Gaudiya Matha Symposium - Continues to
develop with Professor Bandyopadhyay. We stayed in
the Bagbazar Gaudiya Matha for two nights. It was the first Matha
established by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta,
we think. Was very interesting cultural experience. We
are supposed to Chair the Rupa Goswami
session and give our own presentation, but the Keynote Speaker left his body so
we've been asked to make the Keynote Address at the Inauguration Session also.
Easily done you say, but the Governor of West Bengal is inaugurating the
function, senior Justices, professors et al will be on the dais with us. Ooof! We can just present ourselves as a representative
of Srila Prabhupada. The
Address is at:

*WANDERING
MISCREANTS*
It’s
Dvadasi, day after Ekadasi.
We are sitting in Pranava’s building in Chaitanya-bihar in Sri Vrndavana-dhama.
Vrndavana-dhama is too much to describe. Gotta be here to
understand it. Everything is alive and significant. We made a little,
little slip in a very tense situation and got angry at a mad fellow and are
still suffering for our slip. Aaagh!
No room for error in the spiritual world. Keep
your eyes focused on the ground in front of you, watch each step that you take,
don't be distracted by assault, candy or followers. They have to do the same,
follow intensely if they want to follow you.
Piggy
put a lot of stuff in his Diary.
Basically,
since the last KD, we survived a
WORLD CLASS festival of Classical Indian
Dance organized by Ajit Das in Manipur. Our
hearts are still pounding. Also, cost us a bundle, but we are working with
Manipur.
Then
we made it to Vrndavana dhama.
So many friends here. Time is so quick.
HpS's health is O.K.
We
are doing Temple Morning Program, meet with our ASA Traveling Sankirtana Party, Library for Bhakti-vaibhava
reading , Lunch with Pranava
and all seven of us (M. Natalia and Adi adri are helping Mrs. Pranava
cook!), Internet, and more Library and Evening program.

Dear Gurudeva:
We already have the Semester Three Calendar for our Bhakti-sastri. We are going to start with the Nectar of Devotion. 15th March we are going to start the Semester.
We sent the invitations letters for LOB Symposium, May, to Alas Peruanas University and Quito University. We are waiting for the answers. We sent to you a copy.
Gaura-purnima is one of the principal Festivals ISKCON, the devotees are very busy, and they are very enthusiastic too.
Sri Sri Gaura Nitay Ki Jaya!
Thanks a lot Gurudeva your patience

Krishna dear Gurudeva, PFAMHR, TLGASP!!, TLGAHpS!!
In the effort to organize a Mangala artik of Sattva for Goura Purnima we have planned a meting
at noon. There we will arrange our schedule of activities (chronogram).
A part from that we have settled
the date for your exposition in the Olivar Park for
this may 15th at 5:30 pm in San Isidro.
Also we have two activities in mind;
we have being thinking about doing two days long seminars during March. One
about the nectar of instruction and the second about spiritual ecology, we hope
that we can promote our ways thought topic of interest. This is just an idea
and we are eager to known your inputs on in?
Any issues with the redaction I
apologize, my daughter has tried to help me but maybe I haven’t been clear
about what I would like to say
Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva, your insignificant disciple, Abhirama das Thakura
ASA – AGTSP paoho. Sounds good. 15th May. Communication in India has been difficult,
but purification wonderful. Seminars

90% the key. We are caling
