Dear Maharaja,

AGTSP, PAMHO

Here, constantly moving forward, evolving. Getting lighter and wiser. Health is good for the average 35yo. Completed a master's in music pedagogy (piano), won a concerto competition and played one of my favorite piano concertos (Shostakovich op 102) with a full orchestra last Spring. Currently completing a master's in library science. Considering getting a doctorate and perhaps winning a couple more concerto competitions to perform other piano concertos (Rachmaninoff 3rd, Liszt 1st). I am teaching piano at three different music institutes in the windy city. About 30 students each semester. I'm also a part-time librarian for the Chicago Public Libraries. Envisioning potential future managing music collections at the Library of Congress, some Ivy league, or Conservatory anywhere in the globe, I don't mind where as long as I can still teach the piano. (not taking sannyasa yet).

Still associating with devotees, recently living again a few blocks away from SriSri Kishor Kishori's temple. No outreach activities, but I am open to talking about Krsna when asked with genuine interest. I may return to teaching mrdanga to newcomers, but hard to find the time. 

I hope this report was concise enough.

Always grateful for your teachings and activities related to Krsna. Always remembering you with affection.

Respectfully,

Etasa-Krsna Das

HpS - !!!! Today we spent 2-hours with Gokulananda Das here in Radha Kunda. So, much discussion about the Sankirtan.

I asked about you and said that we had no news, and then... here is your letter.

Do you know of this Japanese pianist. This requiem seems very nice to us. Seems like it could be a Brijabasi playing after Krsna left.

Hope you are getting Srila Prabhpada's standard association through CC or Krsna book!!!
