Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you! ASA - Ooof! Objctively we get maybe 1% credit for any success we have as devotees.
I hope your throat infection is better now and you have been able to rest after your hectic travels.
HpS - ASA - We wrtoe about it in the DTC!! Not better, not worse. Don't live don't die. Ha! Ha! Ha... Three weeks now. Think being strict about only offering Suddha Sattva Khanna to Lord Nrsmhadeva will solve 90% of the problems! All the cooks have to be vegetarian, not just the cooking!
It is so nice to read about your travels and your instructions on the blog. Krsna Ksetra Prabhu and I were reading a few entries together and appreciating them very much.
After finishing teaching in Radhadesh, I came to Slovenia, where I am working for a few weeks with Krsna Ksetra Prabhu on our Bhagavatam book project. It is very nice here. Every day I count my blessings to have KK Prabhu's association. We chant together every morning and it is very inspiring. We recently received the copyedited files from Columbia and now we are going through them. It is such a painstaking process. And we are also trying to move ahead with the translation project for our second Bhagavatam book. In a couple of weeks I will go to Kenya for the delivery.
HPS - ASA -- He means his wife's delivery. Such a debt we have to our Mothers to be good workers for society.
I just checked my messages in Williamsburg, and received the message from you. Thank you so much for confirming your Labor Day visit to Virginia! The devotees are very happy. We are trying to organize a one-day program at the University of Virginia (in Charlottesville, 45 minutes from Richmond.) Mayapriya Mataji and Amit Achara Prabhu hold a very nice student program there on a weekday. Saturday, Sunday would be in Richmond for the devotees there. Williamsburg is about an hour away--unfortunately Amrita Keli and Chaitanya will not be there, but I would like to show you my university.
So maybe if you could arrive on Friday, Aug 31 and stay until the 5th or 6th of Sep, depending on when we need to be in Murfreesboro for the program there. I teach on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I would be busy on those days, but otherwise I should be free. The best would be to fly into Richmond (RIC), since the programs will be there on the weekend. SWA flies to Norfolk, which is about 2 hrs away from Richmond, one hour from Williamsburg. We would be happy to look for possible flights if you like.
Guru Maharaja, as you know, we are looking forward to the birth of our second son in a few weeks. Would you please bless him by giving him a name? We would be very grateful. After he is born, I can email you the possible first letters based on astrology, or you could give without consideration of astrology. Either way we would be happy.
I am sorry about the long letter. Thank you again for taking so much trouble to help us in our Krsna consciousness.
your aspiring servant,
Radhika Ramana dasa
HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. We are a little bit delerious from this chronic fever and mouth infection. Makes us a little light headed and humous (as if we weren't that way always). Super good news about your publication and association with the Krsna-ksetra Das. Brahma-muhurta??? In the Krsna-book it explains that Krsna even stopped the Rasa lila to observe Brahma muhurta. I have to fight to keep it during this disease also. If we get worse and die from doing Hari-nama yajna during Brahma muhurta then it is Krsna's desire. Who can be a better friend to our family than Krsna. We can just help him. Maybe we are in the way and should die now.
We will look for tickets.
Advaita from Torchlight has a good Frieght Forwarder who can ship Dr. Bandyopadhyay's book from Kolkatta. It is first class academic publication. We will send a program from the Museum show with yours and Garuda's abstracts to Boise. We will see Garuda and everyone in 10-days. This academic preaching has its effect, no? Little by little.
Jaya Srila Prabhupada.
Please send us the date of next babies birth adn we will consult with al the authorities on a proper name. Of course you also!!! and he MOther et al!
O.K. We look for ticket. Maybe we can do a little developed Light of the Bhagavata symposium. We have such Excellent movies. Hari lila Prabhu said that if it is no burden he might like to come also. We stayed together in Mexico. It was very nice.
