Letters to the editor

Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO AGTSP

Please don't feel pressure to respond quickly Maharaja. Preaching is more important. I did send a letter on 15th October also. Not sure if you have received it.

HpS-ASA -- Ei, Mate, we got it too but we haven't responded until the later dates are clear.

In Australia ekadasi will be on Monday the 16th October. If we get to Brisbane by Sunday 15th afternoon we can do outreach program at Govindas restaurant. 11th-17th in Melbourne also a possibility but maybe too long.

HpS - 11-15th Melbourne! Restaurant.

Prabhupada's dissapearance is Tuesday 24th. If you can stay till 25th we certainly can arrange programs in the Gold Coast and New Govardhan area or we could rearrange the schedule  and or locations a little. 

HpS - When is Prabhupda's festival in Kolkata?   Can't calculate it here.  Would be nice to do G'puja in Auztralia on Sunday and then go to Kolkata for P'pada's festival in Kolkata on Monday.

Ys

Dhruvananda Das

HpS - Let us juggle the departure date a little.

PAMHO AGTSP

Preaching in Peru is looking amazing!

An update on how things are developing here:

Brisbane (15^th-19^th) and New Gavardhana (19^th-21^st) have confirmed dates but I’m still waiting for Melbourne (11^th-15^th). Once word comes from Melbourne we can purchase tickets.

New Govardhan Temple President HG Ajita Prabhu  and all the devotees are very happy to hear you will be here for Govardhan Puja. One small glitch though is that Govardhan puja festival will be celebrated on the Sunday the 22^nd of October so we beg you to consider extending your stay till 23^rd or evening of 22^nd?

Your servant

Dhruvananda Das

HPS - Sorry, slow to respond. Intense travel and no internet. Your association like fresh air. 15th is Ekadasi, no? Sunday? Bad day to travel. Stay for Sunday Feast in Melbourne? 23rd is Srila Prabhupada disappearance festival? 

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva 

AGTSP

Gurudeva I hope U are Ok

Gurudeva I has been communicating with Jambavati mataji since one month ago... She was wondering if U can meet with his father..

I talked with her yesterday she is recovering from neumonia :( she did not listen so good .. she is staying in veracruz because the weather is warmer there.. still she was very dissapointed because she will not be able to see U  when u arrive to mexico...morover she was in distress because she can not collect any money for his father :(

I talked yesterday with abhiram and he basically told me that U are going to be in Callao .. So. I communicate that to Jambavati matajji but she told me that callao is too far from his father.. plus And he can not handle the trip. Also abhiram's house is in a second floor.

Jambavati's father  lives near my home 15 minutes. So we were wondering if U can come to my home on tuesday 25th to meet him for lunch.

I am too offensive to ask U favors.  Please forgive me if I offended U. We will do what u decide.

Here the sun is shinning.

Tomorrow I have a seminar about gems!!! With my mentor she is from argentina. I am too excited to meet her again she is like my grandma

Thank U for all the nectar of your association

Trying to be useful

ASA - Seems best to visit him. Has he got cell phone number?

Dear maharaja,

PAMHO AGTSP

Yes 11th to 21st will be great. Already program at University of Queensland arrange with the Bhakti Club for 18th. I think we should start in Melbourne in the South on the 11th and then head north where you can return to Mumbai from Brisbane. 

I couldn't arrange any significant university programs in Sydney so maybe we can skip Sydney. Unless you feel the need to go to Sydney. I think 4 cities in 9days is too intense. Sydney devotees welcome to join us on tour. I know some already planning to.  

I think a nice schedule would be 11th land in Melbourne  from Mumbai. The 12th-15th Melbourne programs. Fly to Gold Coast on the 15th.

HpS - Hare Krsna. AGTSP. Paoho. So nice to have your association. Back in Lima. The 15th is Sunday, no? October 15th. It is also Ekadasi by our local calendar. Bad day to travel, ei Mate? 

Sunday feast at New Govardhan on 16th, possibly a Gold Coast program on the 17th. Then drive to Brisbane on the 18th for 1 or 2 university programs (possibly one for academics), temple classes and maybe a talk at Govindas on Friday 20th. Fly out from Brisbane to Mumbai on 21st. 

Good airlines are Thai Airways, Singapore Airlines, Qantas. We want to fly you business class. We can buy your tickets or reimburse you. 

Very happy that you will be coming.

Dhruvananda Das and Dhanesvari Dasi

HpS - ASA --  We have been doing research on Expedia.com and the Wikipedia and the only direct flight to Melbourne seems to be Air India from Delhi. Bad airlines? Arriving and leaving from different cities is much more costly, so should we go in and out of Melbourne and make adjustments locally?    Also, Economy is $1000 and Business is $2,400!   We could buy two Economy class tickets for that price. Fly with a partner?

Any suggestions from anyone?

Friday the 2oth is Govardhana puja. Where should we spend that day?

Only thing fixed for our calendar is that we will be in Bombay after the GBC meeting in Ujjain on the 3rd & 4th?   So we need to start from Bombay, though we can catch a local flight elsewhere. On the return trip we are really headed to Kolkata side.

Your turn. 

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

PAMHO AGTSP

We have been following you a little in real time. I have managed to catch some of you lectures in Chile. One kind devotee has been posting them on YouTube. I’m hoping to gain more access to your lectures in real time. Do you record your own lectures?

How’s your health? Can you reach us here in Australia, October? Can you give me dates with a good amount of certainty? I would really like to start making bookings for your accommodation and for programs.

We hosted Atul Krishna prabhu in are home last week. It was very nice.

Looking forward to hearing from you at your next convenience.

Your servant

Dhruvananda Das.

HpS-ASA - You are very kind. We would  like to buy tickets ASAP. Looks like leaving from  Mumbai on the 11th of October and return there on the 21st.

 What city should we fly to and from in Australia? Suggest some airline?

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja.

PAMHO. AGTSP.

I have read that your body is suffering from fever, usually fever is a mechanism of defense of the body before an infection or notice of an inflammation of some organ of the body, it would be good to see a doctor.

HpS - AGTSP!     paoho.   Thank you for your concern, but just seems to be normal reaction to all this change in climate etc.   Very cold here. Yes, maybe infection being fought of. We reduced the fever by Yoga within three days and now we just have rather swollen throat. Hard to talk. By the time you read this that will probably be finished and we will have something else.
 

I know that you are very transcendental to this and perhaps see a doctor is for you something not necessary, plus I as a spiritual niece worry me and your spiritual sons too; If he considers it appropriate, can be coordinated for a doctor to see you in Lima.

Briefly my query is as follows:
I intend to propose to Karunakrsna d to invite some authorities of the National Board to attend as a listeners the conversation of day 14, may be Ganga dd and Yamunesvara d. This is because most administrators do not understand what the educational issue is about but if they listen to our proposals and concerns they may be able to understand us.
Does that sound good to you?

HpS - Yes, yes... Very nice.  We have alwasy tried to do this.

I see you on the 14th, my gurumaharaja is traveling to Arequipa from 12 to 14 and I will also go.

HpS - I hope we get nice chance to associate with Maharaja on the 14th!

May the force of Sri Nrsimhadeva always be with you.

with affection
