[4/15/2023 10:16 PM] Tusta-krsna Das: Hare Krishna, Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

We are in India now. After talking with you in, we went to LA for a week to meet our manager to initiate our move to India for a year. Then to India for a week to meet Mataji and try to console her! We really didn’t have much to say other than to trust Krishna with whatever happens in our lives. Then a week to Denmark. The travel was a nightmare as Germany went on strike when we landed in Frankfurt and somehow got out of Germany to Denmark after several flight cancellation and standing in long lines for 7-8 hours. We then came to India on Apr-2. We have our return tickets to USA is on 18-Apr from Chennai. Mataji's health is better and is in a position to travel.

We need to extend our visas and wait to see if my company will approve our move to India. We’ll see how things go. We hope by august we should be in a position to move to India.

It has been difficult to practice in India, Maharaja.

We squeeze our rounds everyday somehow.

I have many rounds to catch up also.

I have to attend meetings late night and hence wake up late.

Mataji, has been at home all day and has not found anything to do after her deity worship in the morning. So she is frustrated and it also brings rise to the thoughts of her health problems.

The temple is very far from our home. When we move to India, we need to figure out a few things to keep our sadhana and find a Sanga. We see how protected we were in USA by living in the dhama.

We hope that the year passes quickly, health issues are resolved and we can move back to USA to serve in ISKCON soon.

HpS - Thank you for the news. All these challenges, and our efforts to overcome them, are eternal. At the time of death we will not have Deities on the altar, Walmart, or anything. 🙂

If you struggle to get one more round done in this challenging circumstance that Krsna has sent then that fight, victory, will be with you eternally.

Seems that the problem may be that Krsna wants your good wife to be His exclusive mother!

😲

Then she has to sing for Him, cook for Him, do His Sankirtan 24-hours a day.  She has to become a devotee on the level of Visnupriya.

Hmmmm!   Good question to ask while chanting.
