Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humblest obeisances. AGTSP.

 I apologize for going some time without reporting to you. I hope your health is better. I’ve been joining the morning classes via ASA facebook page and GoToMeeting when I’m with my mother (Sunita). She’s on almost every meeting. She’s been doing lots of service at the temple and going forth with the local temple president’s recommendation letter. Hopefully you’ll see that soon.

Ive been following your settling in Radha Kund. I am trying to visit Vraj in April (Radha rani willing). I was in Jagganth Puri last month which was unreal. I got to see the rock which melted from Lord Caitanya’s love. I saw his finger indentations in the pillar at Jaganath temple in Puri. It was an amazing experience.

I made a wish at the Bakula tree of Haridas Thakur. I also made wishes at the kalpa vriksha trees in the Jaganth temple….I prayed for a partner to help me on the path of Bhakti. I’ve been praying for years maharaj- I’m now 30 and it’s starting to feel futile. I’ve been looking for years and consulted astrologers who all say there’s nothing hindering my ability to find a husband. I’ve signed up for the devotional matchmakers and websites, but there’s slim pickings and no one I can connect to. My mentors told me to ask you, but I know that’s not really your purview. I pray for your blessings to make this happen- if it’s meant to be. If not- I pray for acceptance.

HpS - AgtSP!! Thank you. Kali yuga! Well maybe you can take birth in Afganisthan and be the Gandhari and marry the oldest son of the Kurus!!

Hmmm. Nope. All your 100-babies will get killed (Squash. Slice. Oooo/Awww ...Argh).

O.K. You be like Mother Saci.

Hmmm .... Also, no. She lost like seven babies before she got Nimai and Visvarupa.

Hmmm..... Sita? Nope (Exiled by Husband). Radha (Nope, boyfriend went to the Big City and never returned)...... Hey what do you want? Hmmm (smile) guess the best use of a bad bargain.

For sure there is a very precise reason for your situation. Very precise, and if you are 16/4 initiated devotee, Radha is personally managing things for you.

What is it?

I don't know, but chanting etc should give you some idea.

Lot more stories in SB, MBharata that give perspective. Maybe Krsna wants to marry you?

O.K.?

Agreeable to that proposition?

Service wise, I’ve been co-instructing gita discissions at the local yoga studio in DC. I’ve also been teaching yoga on weekends. The prasadam food truck is gaining donors and we’re working on getting grants to support the efforts. Chanting has been going…good days and bad days.

I hope I get to see you this year. Praying for your mercy.

Your aspiring servant,

Sugopi dd 

HpS - Jaya!! Are you engaged in the dog-eat-dog business world? Is your boss a dog?
