H.G. Sankarshan das Adhikari, USA: Friday 12 February 2010--How to Always Be Absolutely Ecstatic--and--I Am Slow and Lazy. ...Nobody truly desires to be miserable. But yet most people are foolishly acting on a regular daily basis in ways that guarantee to keep them miserable. It doesn't have to be like this because there is a solution. There is a way that anybody and everybody no matter what situation they may be in can always be absolutely ecstatic. That way is called the... • Email to a friend • Related •  •ISKCON Melbourne, AU: Jayapataka Swami's Prayer MarathonThe disciples, aspirants and well-wishers of Jayapataka Swami in Melbourne have started a Prayer Marathon for Maharaja's speedy recovery. • Email to a friend • Related • •Ahaituki Bhakti dd, USA: Please help release hundreds of unheard lectures by Srila Prabhupada If you are a follower of HDG A.C.

PAMHO AGTSP I guess by now you have heard that we were dark in NV for 3 nights and 4 days. A snow storm passed through and dumped almost 2 feet of snow. Then, the temperature dropped to single digits causes many trees to break large branches or the main trunk. As a result, we were without electricity. By Radha Vrindavanchandra’s grace, Ranaka, let us take the 5000 watt portable generator from his his house. His family used candles and a wood burning stove. He wanted the devotees and deities to be warm. Tejo, Soma, and I discussed how to wire up the boiler pumps so the building would have hot water and heat. To pick up the generator at Ranaka’s home was no easy task. Soma drove his 4 wheel drive pickup with me in the passenger seat and his truck bay full of snow in order to give the wheel some traction. Tejo pulled his ATV on a trailer connected to his 4Runner SUV with his wife and Tulasi Ananda. There were many fallen branches on the road to Ranaka. We were going down hill so that help. The snow was deep. At one point, Tejo parked his SUV and removed the ATV (a 4 wheel motorbike) and we followed him the rest of the way to Rananka’s. The three old men somehow or other carried that heavy generator and lift it up on to Soma’s pick bay. Then, we had to plow up hill to Tejo’s SUV. We made it to the SUV after heavy navigation around the fallen trees and deep snow. But, our luck ran out. Tejo put his ATV on the trailer and Soma and I went ahead. Soma tried to navigate around a fallen branch and got stuck in snow covered ditch. His 4 wheel drive could not climb out. Tejo arrived and had all the necessary equipment. I went ahead and began breaking and moving tree branches on the road. Soma and Tejo figured out how to connect the vehicle with a chain and a pad lock. We had to dig snow out in order to see the bottom of Soma’s vehicle. Still the chain would not hold. I held the chain in my hand while Tejo pulled ahead to tighten it up. We were ready to go! Tejo pulled his ATV on trailer and Soma’s truck about 50 yards in the ditch. It wouldn’t come out until we arrived at the bend near the apartments. Then, Tejo pulled Soma over the ditch. We arrived at the temple and began wiring everything together. After an hour, we had hot water and heat! Still, we needed gas. Tejo to the rescue. The road to 250 was impossible. I think he drove his ATV to the Limestone gas station. Thank Krsna that there pump had electricity and we used a debt card. Mean while, the devotees in the apartments walked up that high road to the temple. We put them in the guest rooms and Premabhakti cooked evening prasadham. The kirtan in front of the deites was very nice with all the temple residents, apartment dwellers, and their children. Managal arati was full. I spoke a little after Tulasi puja about how Krsna arranged this storm to bring us closer and chant Hare Krsna together. The next day, I figured out how to run electricity to the temple room and altar. So, we had some light there. On Monday, we had to return the generator to the Ghee factory. Ranaka offered to buy one for the temple. But, none could be found in Ohio, PA, or WV. Somehow or other by making phone calls, we found one at Lowes. Soma purchased it on his debt card and we were back in business by the afternoon. The temple was full of life because all the householders and their children were in the temple all day. It was a wonderful experience. The electricity returned at 5pm this Tuesday. I’ll write more later. I’m sure you will hear from the other devotees. I hope you are having a wonderful stay in Sridham Mayapur. You can tell them that NV is a holy place like Mayapur. They have Ganga flood. We have Snow storms and no electricity!

Prabhupada, I do it for you. Please accept it. Please accept me. I am ill and need to rest. I can't churn out memories of you. But I have lived most of my life in your active service. Your service is still the center of my life. I am happy when I write a poem about you like "Soul Eyes" and "Profile of Prabhupada" I like to gaze on your photos and your murti. I continue to behave according to the vows of my initiation. Hearing your books read to me is a primary nourishment of my life. Anecdotes of your life are delightful and great storytelling. You wrote me letters asking if I had received the latest tapes your mailed me. Then you wrote me that you had received the typing of the tapes I had done, and that I had done them nicely. Praise from you gave me life. If I could still hear you were pleased with me I would be satisfied with my life. Morning walks with you were a great relief; you spoke pure philosophy. You let me massage you and you never complained that I was not strong enough to do it. You tolerated your aches and pains and illness and old age. "We are tolerant" you said when they gave you a spinal tap needle in the hospital, and you were transcendental. When I visited you in August of 1977 you said "these are my last days." In your very last days when you were lying in bed and not talking, I was leading the singing of the Nrsimha prayers. You signaled your secretary, TKG, to come to your bed and you asked him, "Who is singing?" That was the last exchange I had with you. • Email to a friend • Related • •ISKCON News.com: Hindu Wins Right to Traditional Cremation in UK

HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol — “good” cholesterol — removes cholesterol stuck to the walls of arteries and takes it to the liver for recycling or disposal. An HDL cholesterol reading of 40 mg/dL (1.03 mmol/L) or higher is considered an acceptable level. A reading of 60 (1.55) is bliss. Actually, there is no such thing as good and bad cholesterol. Cholesterol is cholesterol. What makes it good or bad is the protein carrier that hauls it around — in this case, high-density lipoprotein. Devoting half an hour a day to aerobic exercise drives HDL up. Aerobic exercise is an activity such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming or biking — things that raise the heart rate and keep it raised for at least 20 minutes. Weight loss is another way to increase HDL cholesterol. Including oils like olive, soy and flaxseed in your diet boosts good cholesterol. So do nuts. A modest amount of alcohol (one drink a day for women and two for men) can elevate it. Not smoking, staying away from sugary foods and not engaging in yo-yo dieting have a beneficial effect on this cholesterol variety. Sometimes medicines are the only way to boost HDL. Statins — medicines that, it seems, the entire population takes to lower bad cholesterol — also raise good cholesterol.

As things have been getting bigger, so have the pressures of keeping it all running. Accounting, planning, recording and events have sucked up our time. But hopefully we’ve gotten into a rhythm that makes time to do what’s important, keep the kirtan flowing.
Here are the recordings from the first of hopefully many 12 Hour Kirtans at the Bhakti Center in NYC. We are planning for this to be a monthly event that is co-hosted by Mantralogy. It is part “kirtan open mic”, part party and all blissful. The next event is schedule for Feb 20th and will have special guests the Mayapuris as part of it. We are planning to have a webcast during the kirtan, so stay tuned to GauraVani.com on Feb 20th!
