4

: 00:00:07

I'm Madam Angela Das

5

6

: 00:00:13

7

: 00:00:15

I have to be always ready when I'm traveling with you

9

: 00:00:19

hahaha yeah yeah

10

: 00:00:21

so it's our last night in San Salvador

11

: 00:00:23

it's a winter solstice begins

12

: 00:00:25

our winter starts tomorrow

13

: 00:00:26

so winter solstice and we're really grateful for autumn

14

: 00:00:30

it was a great season wasn't it

15

: 00:00:31

yes the last three months have been amazing

16

: 00:00:34

we tend to

17

: 00:00:35

sort of chart our life in a 90 day increments

18

: 00:00:38

every quarter especially around the seasons

19

: 00:00:42

and now winter is coming winter is coming

20

: 00:00:45

and it's 23 4 degrees Celsius here at six PM not bad

21

: 00:00:50

we're actually it's a little hot for us during the day

22

: 00:00:53

so we're looking for going up to a place called uh

23

: 00:00:56

Berlin Berlin

24

: 00:00:57

imagine that founded by German of course

25

: 00:01:01

ship shipwreck

26

: 00:01:01

German came ashore and started renaming things

27

: 00:01:03

imagine that

28

: 00:01:05

but it's supposed to be a very beautiful

29

: 00:01:07

coffee growing region and it's a little cooler

30

: 00:01:09

about 4 5 degrees Celsius cooler

31

: 00:01:12

so we're really gonna be enjoying the day

32

: 00:01:13

the nights are not actually

33

: 00:01:14

it's about the same 1819 Celsius at night

34

: 00:01:17

which is perfect

35

: 00:01:18

perfect weather but it's about you know 25

36

: 00:01:21

26 max which is perfect

37

: 00:01:24

we're really looking forward to it

38

: 00:01:25

we're gonna be there for seven days

39

: 00:01:27

we hope to make some nice videos

40

: 00:01:28

talk to celebrate Christmas

41

: 00:01:31

Christmas Eve they have hammocks

42

: 00:01:33

they have hammocks hanging everywhere

43

: 00:01:34

oh maybe we'll have to do a hammock video

44

: 00:01:36

would you guys like a hammock video

45

: 00:01:37

yes

46

: 00:01:39

we can do some swinging back and forth

47

: 00:02:09

oh today we were reading something really interesting

48

: 00:02:12

tell us about teaching to chant in a certain mood

49

: 00:02:18

so we can chant in a proper mood

50

: 00:02:21

not just repeating the names like parrots mechanical

51

: 00:02:25

yeah I mean

52

: 00:02:26

it happens

53

: 00:02:28

it's always good to bring our attention back to

54

: 00:02:31

I'd read that it's nice to touch our beads

55

: 00:02:33

as if we're washing the feet of the Lord

56

: 00:02:35

sweetly massaging the feet of the Lord and um

57

: 00:02:40

of course Lord Chaitanya's third prayer

58

: 00:02:43

one can chant the holy names of the Lord

59

: 00:02:45

in a humble state of mind

60

: 00:02:47

and uh yeah

61

: 00:02:49

to do it sweetly and as if we're singing softly

62

: 00:02:52

yeah with some longing

63

: 00:02:53

and some desire to be close to that Supreme

64

: 00:02:58

this person

65

: 00:03:00

some desperation of when when can I be with him

66

: 00:03:04

when can I meet him when can I go home

67

: 00:03:07

see him when can I

68

: 00:03:10

touch the dust of the streets and places and

69

: 00:03:17

and that holy place where he's at home

70

: 00:03:21

kolokavrindavan by kuntaloka

71

: 00:03:23

yeah so it's amazing that the kingdom has

72

: 00:03:26

or the the highest

73

: 00:03:28

all places have names just like all people have names

74

: 00:03:32

the highest spiritual kingdom is described as Goloka

75

: 00:03:34

Vrindavan or Gokula or uh Vrindavan yeah

76

: 00:03:39

so we aspire for this

77

: 00:03:43

or we aspire to aspire to aspire for this

78

: 00:03:46

and the way forward is always through the Holy Names

79

: 00:03:48

so we hope you'll chant with us

80

: 00:03:51

chant the Holy Names and uh

81

: 00:03:53

wishing you to develop some very very

82

: 00:03:58

enchanting

83

: 00:04:00

desiring divine moods yeah

84

: 00:04:04

to get away from this place

85

: 00:04:05

I mean here we are in this beautiful location

86

: 00:04:07

and I can smell the sewer yeah

87

: 00:04:09

it just came all of a sudden this wave of sewer came

88

: 00:04:12

we got you know

89

: 00:04:12

you might think oh

90

: 00:04:13

they're in this beautiful place with this mountain

91

: 00:04:15

everything's perfect

92

: 00:04:16

it's just never perfect in the material world

93

: 00:04:18

there's always something either the body

94

: 00:04:21

the mind or some other being or

95

: 00:04:22

or calamities dogs whining or children screaming

96

: 00:04:27

so one of or the smell of septic

97

: 00:04:30

just one of my senses is always a little bit ah

: 00:04:57

when things get lively again expansion

111
