Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Varnasrama College Diary By Rabindranatha Dasa Adhikari Friday, January 21, 2005 Things went on as usual today.* Finished my 16 rounds at 5:17 p.m. and Jaya Gauranga Prabhu lead mangala arati and myself, Rabindranatha Dasa Adhikari (ACBSP) gave the Srimad Bhagavatam Class. As I was saying yesterday about having some cleaning competition with the Varnasrama College and the brahmacari asrama here at the temple, well one brahmacari, Radha krpa Prabhu took me up on that. Also today we started the "Bhaktivedanta Reading Program" here at the Varnasrama College. Where one gets various certificates by reading Srila Prabhupada's books. Right now I have four devotees in the program, Namely: Prema Sankirtana, Suka, Sri Sacinandana and Omar. I plan to check up on them once in a week. Today I am planning to put this "Varnasrama College Diary" on the conference "modern Culture in Relation to Varnashrama" which is on PAMHO on the internet. Already this diary is on "Varnasrama" and "Cow (Protection and related issues) that are on PAMHO. Quote of the day Our children as the future hope "I understand that you are the mother of the little boy Purnima das. He is very nice boy. He is Vaisnava. So you are very fortunate to have such a son. You can take it that Krsna has given you this son. So you must take care of him nicely and raise him in Krishna consciousness. All these boys must be taken care of very nicely. They are the future hope. When he is ready, he must be taught English and Sanskrit." -Srila Prabhupada (Letter to Suchitra July 20, 1974) *For now that means me raising up before 4 a.m., brushing my teeth, taking bath, putting on tilaka, getting dressed, getting in my car and driving for about a mile to the temple, being on time for mangala arati and Srimad Bhagavatam class and cleaning the Varnasrama college office by sweeping and mopping the floor, empting the trash and cleaning off the office desk. As time goes on I will write down some of the other things that I do on a regular basics. One may ask why mention all these things? The reason I do is to get feedback from others whether or not one should do such things or for that matter even mention them. Another reason being is that I am interested in writing a book on Nitya-Kriya i.e. regular daily activities and also giving a class in it here at the college.
