Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I am attaching the images in JPEG format. Sorry for the wrong format Guru Maharaja. I uploaded them from my iPhone and it seems to have uploaded in HEIC format.

Some introduction to our deities.

Our main deity is Nitai Navadwip-chandra. It has been 6 years since we welcomed Them.

We have Gopal on the right and Jagannath on the left. A devotee gave us Jagannath as a gift when we did our house warming after some remodeling one and half years back.

She wanted to give the whole set along with Baladev and Subadra but Divya was expecting and we didn't think we would be able to take good care of Them. So we just accepted Jagannath and consider him to be all three. The small Gopal next to Damodar was gifted to us by my father in law. It is a custom in marriages for the father in law to give the deity to the son in law for worship.

HpS - Super. In Manipura I think they often worship Lord Jagannatha alone and call Him, Jagat Bandu!

Our main focus since moving next to the temple has been the service of Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji. When Jananivas prabhu was here a couple of years back, he said that everyone near the temple should focus on the worship of the deities in the temple and the deities at home are considered the parthibhu deities of the temple deities and accept worship from the temple.

I have 3 months of paternity that I can take before Manjari's first birthday, which is the 28-June. So I will be taking it from April to June. We are traveling to India on 7-Apr and will be back on 20-Jul. The thithi for the first birthday for the kids is on 16-Jul. We will celebrate that in India and return back to Dallas.

We are flying from Dallas to Del and will visit Vrindavan before going to Chennai. Vishaka and Dhasarathi will travel with us. Srirama will join later. My parents, Divya's parent's and Vishaka's grand mother will meet us in Delhi and we will go to Vrindavan together and spend 5 days there. This will be the first time in Vrindavan for Divya's parents and Vishaka's grandmother.

We seek your blessings and mercy so that we may gain entrance into Vrindavan and be able to spend our time in the dham in the right consciousness. We always fondly remembering our time with you in Radhakund. We are hoping we can give everyone a similar experience of Vrindavan so that they may be able to carry it with them.

Your servant

HpS - Punya bhumi... India... Super ecstaci trip for you and the family.... Kiriksetra, or Rasa lila, it all means finding our place in the Chorus, no???
