Just wondering: Have you been able to start a class based on the Prabhupada
varnasrama book? That might be a good thing to start while your Bhaktishastri
teacher can't be there. Also, by hearing Srila Prabhupada's conversations
about the importance of cow protection and living off the land, your students
will more easily relish the concept of simple living, high thinking.

I was thinking, if you do start sessions based on the Prabhupada Varnasrama
book, you might start with Chapter 4: Get All Your Necessities from the Land --
instead of starting earlier.

Srila Prabhupada really packs that chapter (London, 25 Nov 1973) full of
analysis which is central to varnasrama -- including the principle that it is
the duty of human society to keep the cows happy, and that the land can supply
all our necessities of life.

Sound like you are rolling along, keep up the good work.
