HpS - Thank you sir. What has happened to the family? Are you still in Texas. Hare Krsna.

GM: My dear Maharaja,

Dandavat Pranams. Jai Vaishnava!

I will drop Anjana to College Station tomorrow. She will start freshmen year majoring in Statistics in Texas A&M.

Sriram is completing internship at Amazon. He is doing Computer Science at A&M and he is starting senior year. Most probably he will get job offer from Amazon. He is very strong work ethic.

I am planning for Vanaprastha ashram as kids will leave in August and I will be alone. My goal is to meditate for at least 4 hours a day. I use word meditate instead of jap as jap can be inattentive.

For me, true japa is sitting straight, keeping back erect, eyes closed and mind fully focused on Bhagavan Ram.

Therefore, I am using word meditate. I hope I can spend 4 or more hours meditating with focused mind. I feel then my life will be successful.

Regards,

Gaurav Mittal
