Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja, please accept our obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Thank you so much for this wonderful letter and these illustrations. The Alfred North Whitehead quote is something I want to remember everyday. So grateful to have you in our lives. And we feel very fortunate to have you approve/bless Madhavi’s name as well and to read your kind words for her in the letter.
HpS/ASA - Tom Brown, Monkey, agtSP, does most of the handwritten letters! 🐵
The grand plan is to keep Radha Bankibhihari happy and taken care of. Make friends and good association here. Do this and do it fully until another opportunity comes on its own accord. And then someday maybe go on tour again but this time with devotees and yes bring the Lordships with us!
HpS - Super! Prabhupada recommended Gaura Nitai for traveling.
Anadi will be home schooling Yamuna and Madhavi with Mother Arudha’s books and her personal guidance.
HpS - Super. If it happens, a nice step is Collective Home Schooling, where up to five families work together to have one or people be full time teachers.
I’ve been asked to take over the temple president role here and have been talking with Radhika Ramana Prabhu quite a bit. Not a huge change because Anadi and I have essentially been sharing that responsibility for a few years now but still it feels like a big weight and a great challenge. I’ve been laughing with Krishna about it and have had some arguments too. I just never could imagine that I would have a responsibility like this.
HpS/ASA - Get everything written down by the principal participants. Fix it for a certain time eg. six months, one year, then review the contract after that time? Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.
Going to have our second movie night at the temple in March. Going to show Brother Sun Sister Moon a movie about Saint Francis. Then we will start showing the Diary of A Traveling Creature movies each month starting in April.
HpS/ASA - What night? Friday night?
I would like to visit you in Houston in the Spring. Is that okay?
HpS - Our plan is to get ready to board the airplane to Vaikuntha (hell) with notice of one breath. 78-year old body!!! but general consensus is that is practical to plan being based in Houston ISKCON until Janmasatami = August.
11-18 March = Nashville. Especially talking about visiting again around Janmastami time for a big North American festival in Nashville ISKCON.
Always happy to have your corporal association.
Been listening to the SB classes in Houston almost everyday and corresponding with Jaya Hari Prabhu so I’ve been receiving lots of mercy in that regard and it’s been empowering projects here in Boise. I eagerly await your classes each week and they inspire our Krishna Lounge talks and everything else.
Thank you, Gurumaharaja! Oh and thank you for the donation🙏🏻
Your aspiring servant,
Nitisara Das
P.S. here is an animation/puppet show that someone made for a song of mine. The song is about Love in separation with God. He wants to keep working with me so as I develop my own Sankirtan I can engage him in more krishna consciousness subject matter.

HpS - We will look at it a little later!!!
Now... 4.10PM... and packing up to go to the Temple by 4.30PM to be available for and Sadhu sanga, then 6-6.40PM make the Sunday Love Feast lecture presentation.
As usual, www.youtube.com (ISKCON Houston).
Thank you!!!
Respects to everyone!!
Krsna has a career plan for all of us, no?
Maybe over several lifetimes!
Who might you be in the Mahabharata in you next life???
