“You have to be a man of action,” they say. “Don’t wait for things to come to you. For maybe they never will.” Yet I look toward the sky dreamily thinking about a mystical destiny and gain coming of its own accord. How long will I look?

So many opinions, what to do and what not. Mistakes to learn from, new systems discovered. Am I really going there, back again? Didn’t I run from this once before? Feelings I forgot were there. Interesting it is, but the mind can only think about so many things. Do I want this going during japa, during puja? What happened to Krishna?

I’m in the city of Jaipur, just about to head to Vraj (finally). Had some nice darshans here of the original deities of Radha-Govandaji and Radha-Damodar. Lot’s of devotion amongst the devotees here. You should see them chanting bhajans to lord Govinda! I observed nirjala ekadasi yesterday and by the Lord’s mercy was able to have the association of some nice iskcon devotees, one of whom I met randomly as I was walking on my first day here to find the Govindaji temple. We did the full thing, even staying up all night! I didn’t know how I was going to survive as it is extremely hot and dry here and my mind was rebelling since the early morning, but by the Lord’s grace and the encouragement from the devotees time passed quickly and I didn’t die. It was my first time staying up all night for the ekadasi. Wanna try that next time in LA?
