Dear Guru Maharaj
Please accept our humble obeisance's, All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Hope Maharaj is in good health.
HpS - Probably like yours!! Of course, our donkey is old and dissolving. best estimate is collapse in about two years.
Occasionally when I introspect, I am amazed, how little spiritual progress I am making.
Time is always running away from me faster and faster.
Its been almost A year, since we last reported.
HpS - Externally, but how much internally? How have you changed at heart?
Dear Maharaj, We sincerely beg forgiveness for not reporting sooner.
During the past 9 months, Gaura Gadadhara has been engaged in a little, but frequent service for “ My Father in Law”. The precious opportunity to do her little seva for Nitai Gaura Padakamala at Srila Prabhupada’s Bhajan Kutir , gives her immense joy.
HpS - Maybe she has been doing it before in another world?
Along with being The Head Pujari , training her assistant “ A wanna be 😂
” Pujari at home,
Gaura has also been putting in serious efforts to improve her English, she attends school two times a week, does her homework diligently. I suspect, in due course she would be fit enough to teach me.
HpS - English? You are already speaking "British English" are you not, Sir?
I see that Gaura considers herself fortunate to be able to mentor and council some of her god siblings.
During the time gone by , by the mercy of Guru Maharaj, we had the good fortune to be in Ekachakra Dham (A first for me ) and ,two weeks ago, we returned from a month of Ecstatic pilgrimage of Sri Vrindavan and Sri Giri Govardhan Dhams.
HpS - .....
Dear Maharaj, as for myself, Last week, I have somehow managed to scrape through Bhakti Vaibhava 1, and will now attempt to memorize slokas (30 in total) for Level 2 which commences on 10th July till May 2024.
By your mercy, Our health is good, and we somehow manage to (Gaura everyday and I often) make it to Mangala Arotik .
Dear Maharaj, we are now eagerly awaiting your Darshan in the forthcoming months.
We beg your mercy to be able to be in your personal association immediately after we finish the Vraja Mandala Parikrama on 9th of November.
Also our Pranams and Affectionate Greetings to our God Siblings.
Thank you for All your Mercy, although we are unqualified
Yours with love
Gaura Gadadhara Dasi and Vira Gopal Das
Sri Dham Mayapur
HpS - I think we have tickets to be in Bharata from 8th September to 21 January(+/-). We are working on the itinerary now. Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.
Opportunity and responsibility, no?
