Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krsna!

Dear Swami Gaurangapada and assembled devotees, please accept my humble obiesances.

In the 'sacred medicine garden' there are several plants of various variety. One is called a toothache plant that numbs the mouth for toothache. 3 seedlings sprouted and 1 is going well...the other 2 struggled. I kept watering them, and felt not to water so much, but kept going anyway... 1 died! The other may survive if I water it correctly, slowly and steadily.

There is also two Marigold plants that is good for cooking and herbal tea for bad stomach and anxiety release. These two are my favorite flowering perennial (beautiful subtle tea with tumeric to activate chi energy and flow), in the last two days tiny browm spots have appeared on them, disease! What to do? More sun, less damp...watching and learning?

It seems at various stages of growth the individual plant needs different things. Spiritual life is like that too hey! Sometimes we need quiet time, sometimes rest, and sometimes celebration. Other times we need to fully focus on others needs. And oneday the tree is steady and strong, and gives shade to all...

Oh, and by the way, the 2 Tulsi Devi plants are growing well. One is very tiny and the other has manifested its 2nd set of leaves.

No weeds yet but I am sure they will come At the moment the cultivator is learning from his mistakes...

in service...Nava.
