Nityananda, Jaya!

Full day of service. Eyes finished! Bought ticket USA to Lima, 1April to 27May. Was $835 but we researched and got it with extra trip from Nashville for $635. Planning trips to Argentina and Chile, same time. Kapi Dhvaja tomorrow.

Hari bolo! ! !

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP PAMHO.

Thanks for your response at my very poor anual report. I hope to have a more fruitful report next year.

I am applying for jobs. I went to job interview today and the ladies who were observing my class were not English Teachers and they said they were preoccupied that the students will not understand the class. So I thought I was so top -notch for the job haha. Anyway I guess that students need to be challenged.

I am overjoyed that you are coming in April so I guess that if I have more free time I will take advantage of that and spend more time with your exceptional association.

Tomorrow Yasoda dd is visiting us. We are going to celebrate Nityananda Trayodasi. Then I have classes.

Any verse, reading or song that you suggest for this celebration?

Thank you very much for always being for all of us even if I am too selfish and stupid.

Nityananda Ram Ki JAYA

Trying to be your disciple

Candramukhi dd

HpS - AGTSP paoho......... Hare Krsna!!!!! Fighting in the army of Rama!!!! More in the DTC!!! Good news.

Hare Krsna.

We feel like we will become some kind of demigod or somthing, gandharva, rajasthani??? in our next life. We try to serve Krsna, but we also like to eat good food and not have to work hard.

We are trying to build a fire by adding wood and pouring water on it.

Guess the wood is winning, but the more sincere we are the faster we will progress.

Only desire is to be a regular Vrajavasi again!!

= = = =

Got five Annual Reports answered. 13-16 rounds done. Answered three really old letters.

Cold and dark here now, but Hari Bolo! and everything changes.

Thinking of Candramukhi Devi Dasi (because she writes frequently). That is not good for a Sannyasi, so then I thinkof Abhirama Th. but I don't want people to think I am being favorites to him (Ha! Haw!), so I think of someone else and it is...... Nikunja bihari Das...... then..... Srila Prabhupada! Ah! Just write for HK/HR and everyone will be protected.

Took care of auto insurance today. SB class with M. Sundara radhika DD. Was very nice review of Lord Varaha! At least once a year hear about Him.

Then answered Yahoo mail about Ministry of Education, NIOS.

Offered Maha prasada from Radha Natabara, little oats and Kitri and orange popsicles to Lord.

OK let us go walking and talking with NGD!!

Hare krishna maharaj les ofrezco mis humildes reverencias nombre es iksvaku gadhadara soy hijo de madre nanda gopi y prabhu jayakirtan y le mando esta carta para ver si es que me podria dar refugio bajo sus pies de loto.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

I just finished preparing for my class today for the course we have started - Demystifying the Bhagavad Gita. It is a 10 session course on the different topics of BG. We have 16 students (including 2 Westerners who are completely new to Krishna Consiousness). Today's topic is Who is God? There is so much to say about Krishna, but we have only an hour. Apart from the hourly lecture every week, we are giving weekly assignments to the students. Verse memorizations, Practice (Practical aspects of Bhakti. We have introduced Japa, offering and honoring prasadam so far. Today will be Reading and Listening. I have selected two of Srila Prabhupada's lectures for them to listen to.) Preaching (Summarize the session in 3 lines. The hope is, by the end of the course, they will have a 30 line essay on the Bhagavad Gita.).

HpS - Wow!! This is like a university level course. Don't be surprised if all your students are not first class panditas. Third class is still O.K.

This service has been very enlivening for me. It is very close to my nature. Studying the Gita, splitting it functionally into 8-10 parts, creating the lesson outline for the teachers and coordinating with the students and teachers and the authorities in the temple.

Every aspect of it has been enjoyable except for the coordinating part. It is hardwork. Not a day goes by when I don't think of your efforts to coordinate the Education program in ISKCON. And how hard you try to bring this systematic study of Srila Prabhupada's books to all the centers of the world.

We sent out Bhakti Shastri center application to Bhaktarupa prabhu exactly a month ago today. We haven't heard from him in 20 days. I have sent a reminder email every week, but he hasn't replied to any of them. Devotees here are eager to know what we need to do to get the center in Kalachandji Dham. Please guide us Gurudeva on how we should proceed.

Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa

HpS - In the beginning I was seeing CC of those letters. Are you still including us? Next one you send to him be sure to CC to me and then we can try to contact him through some personal means that I know.
