Dear Maharaja

PAMHO, AGTSP.

Thank you for the meal plan.

I have booked my ticket from Brisbane to Melbourne, arriving at 5:35pm on the 12^th Oct. I will be waiting for you in the airport. Devotees from the temple will pick us up. I’m leaving my car parked at Brisbane airport so we can drive away when we fly to Brisbane from Melbourne. If you are settled on the dates I can book two seats on the 17^th? My wife tells me that maybe Adi Adri mataji will be with us so even 3 seats, or even more!

What time would you like to fly on Tuesday 17^th? 

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna. The 16th is Ekadasi, no?    Don't want to fly on Ekadasi.  Anytime is fine with us.

Below is an example ticket. This is a very good price for 2:45pm, with a good airline. Normally close to $100 and below are only early morning or late evening flights.

HpS - Again, we are flexible. Seems nice to go after morning program and get there in time for evening program.   Fix everything ASAP then others can adjust their schedules also. Pujari Madhumanjari Devi Dasi, Raktak Das friends and relatives, universities, Malcom.

Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO, AGTSP.

Yes harinam is Friday evenings. We can attend Harinam instead of the Radhe Chai Bar. I have spoken with the owner and he says "As you please". I think harinam is better idea for a few reasons.

1. Radhe Chai Bar normally has yoga class on Friday evening,

2. It's not a temple connection so hard to find people to promote the event and

3. KKS will do program there on Sunday evening so all efforst will be assined to KKS program there.

Harinam Melbourne is a must see. Maybe KKS will join the harinam also. Epic.

Can I please have you meal requirments and times?

ASA - Prasadam!    We offer Lord Nrsmhadeva Fruit and milk in the morning, maybe nutz, and then Peas-porridge ie. oatmeal, splitpeas or pnuts, few almonds, carrots, salt and pepper for lunch, and hot milk and maybe banana or potatoe or carrot after everything (4.30PM?   8.30PM??).

For sure flags,   f l a g s in the Hari-nama, no?

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!     All glories to Guru Maharaj HpS!!

PAMHO at your lotus feet.

HpS - We are still struggling to keep lettuce feet. AGTSP

Dear Guru Maharaj,

We had a detailed discussion with Haridas Swami , Yamuneswara Prabhu and Nandalal Prabhu today at Manimandir. There was a slight miscommunication yesterday as I had to rush to my workplace just after the SB class. Today we sorted out everything and we would like  to slightly modify the programme if Maharaj would permit us to do so. We had not included the NOI workshop as suggested by Guru Maharaj. We would like to fit the workshop with recordings, comment , questions etc . as part of the temple programme.

Would it be possible for Maharaj to stay at Manimandir on 1st and 2nd Nov? That way it would be easier for Guru Maharaj to conduct the external programme as suggested by Prof Samaresh. Personally requested Prof Samresh to visit Manipur during this time. Otherwise as per the programme submitted yesterday, we would have to shuttle long distances daily from Thoubal to Imphal and that would be very inconvenient.

HpS - I was thinking the same thing, but thought that maybe the university contact was in Thoubal the Glorious.

The topic decided with Prof Samresh remains the same....we would like to screen the movie at our hospital after the lecture. But that would be possible only after 4pm, not at 2pm. So probably, we might have to change the timings. Will call up Prof Samresh today.  

Yamuneshwar Prabhu will send the modified programme as soon as possible.

Seeking forgiveness for all the inconveniences caused.

Your most fallen servant,

Sarada Gaurangi Devi Dasi

HpS -  Hmmm!    He had suggested to us the topic of Jung and the Bhagavata. Did he suggest the same to you?      Which movie?      Light of the Bhagavata, Peruvian Reflections?

HpS - ASA - Looks good. The "Radhey Chai Bar yoga audience" will be mostly Yogiinis?

Any interesting poets, filmmakers, cultural anthropologists, scientists in Melbourne? For SB class we could do a series like Light of the Bhagavata or Jung and the Bhagavata. People for interfaith dialog.

Street Sankirtan?
