Dear Maharaj,

Hare Krishna

PAMHO AGTSP AGTY

Thank you so much for the reply Maharaj.

For the Festival next year I will look into how to incorporate the four regulative principles and 16 rounds. Also Japa. These are of course a top priority in Srila Prabhupada's process and we should find away to include them in the festival. Thank you for this Maharaj.

Yes, Maharaj. The mercy from Krsna and Srila Prabhupada by following the process is very kind. I can see I am making some progress. I thank you for the encouragement to do so. I thank you and Srila Prabhupada for this mercy. Please bless me that I may chant my rounds with more attention in hopes to please Krishna.

Maharaj, As far as initiation. I am a little perplexed. I have been given some different advice and would like to know from you what you would like me to do. Anatarupa Prabhu and few others have suggested going to Huston as I shouldn't hesitate for such an auspicious occasion. However, I have also been encouraged to wait until your visit to Boise in January / February. Thus my family can attend including my mother. Also my friends here in Boise could attend. Please advise me on what you think is best and what I should do. I will do that.

HpS - Boise!

Maharaj, Would it be appropriate now to address you as Guru? Also should I be using your Pranama mantra? Please advise me.

HpS - Pranav mantra is fine now. If you see me as representative of Srila Prabhupada as our Guru then I think gurudeva is tasteful.

All glories to the Sankirtan movement!

Haribol!

Bhakta Nathen
