Gauranga! Rukmini dd in Denton, Texas.
Hare Krishna Gurudeva
Please accept my humble obeisances
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I would like to tell you how is going my trip.
HpS/ASA -- AGTSP! We want very much to hear! We think it will be the beginning of many such adventures and that you have a great mission in this life.
On February 1st, I visited Mexico. My flight was delayed. However, M. Asta Sakhi was very kind and patient, so she waited for me 3 hours aprox. until I left the airport.
A devotee took us to the temple. I took some prasadam and darshan from the beautiful deities Radha Madhana Gopal. After a while, we returned to the airport. I would really like to return to Mexico because I liked the temple and the city very much (I love Mexican culture). And of course I would like to return to give back to the devotees who helped me.
ASA - Yes, they must be receiving very favorable glances from Madan-gopal for their hospitality.
At 11pm, I arrived to Denton (1 hour from Dallas). I'm staying in a hotel near to the University of North Texas. Our schedule is very full. We're taking some postgrade classes of billingual education and multiculturalism. I'm really interested in that topics. Also, we're visiting some educational institutions of the city such as The Child Development Laboratory and The Autism center. We are also doing some practices in schools.
In the other hand, I'm very grateful for providing me the contact of Srinatha Krsna Das Prabhu. He was very kind and he offered me to stay in his home. He also will help me to visit the Sunday school in Dallas and do some service in the temple.
After that, I'm planning to travel to Houston for a week. P. Abhiram gave me the cellphone number of Subhra mataji. I wrote her and she told me that there is a guesthouse where I could stay. However, the price is very high. Now, I'm waiting for a response if any devotees could host me in his/her house. I really want to visit the Goswamy Academy because I know it's an example of education plus spirituality and morality. With that, my trip would be complete.
So, that's all for now. Thank you very much for reading this letter. Please, forgive my offenses.
Trying to serve and to learn at least a little everyday,
Rukmini dd
ASA - Yes, guest houses are expensive. We need places in our Temples where devotees can camp! More news! Meeting any interesting people along the way?? Got literature to give them?
