Hare Krishna, dear Gurudeva, Pamho, AGTSP!

My wife and I are doing very well. We're trying to do service as much as we can. Now we have the opportunity to travel to Cusco. By the mercy of Govardhana prabhu, we have been invited to preach a little and take advantage of the opportunity for RR to get to know Cusco.

HpS/ASA - Super. AgtSP!!

In the afternoons I will be teaching some seminars (communication, leadership, conflict resolution), and in the morning I will be conducting a series of sastric studies (ISO, NOI, and NOD).

My courses are going very well. I have 12 Bhakti Vaibhava students, 7 Bhakti Sastris, and 8 in Introduction to Bhakti Yoga. I am very happy with my service. I learn a lot from my students, and they fill me with enthusiasm to continue my service. It is very enriching to hear the students' realizations and perspectives. There is a lot of participation and interaction in my classes.

ASA - SUPER, SUPER!

My donkey is lame.

We are doing pre surgery tests to renew its legs, if possible.

It makes it a little difficult for us to get around, but it's okay, no problem.

I have insurance, so I don't have to spend anything.

If I didn't, I wouldn't bother doing all that business that costs thousands of soles.

There are more important things to invest in with Laxmi, like prasadam distribution, etc.

HpS/ASA - We just came back from the Audiologist. Very nice lady, associate of Mother Guru bhakti Devi Dasi.

Our donkey is also 'lame', rather hearing impaired.

The recommended hearing aids at $7000.

That's $90/month over the never 84-months [seven years].

Is it worth it?

We have been experiencing a lot of dwindling of our bodily parts during the last few weeks, maybe two months.

Like you, we don't want to spend our actual cash on a doomed donkey.

The Kauravas were continuing to exist on the results of sinful acts only. So, purify the body of it's resources of sinful acts eg. eating more than necessary.

Find out what are the real, transcendental, resources and continue using that.

We have a Standby Ticket on the plane to a good destination, no?

Nabadvipa with Srila Prabhupada and Nimai?

Yet, they may call us at any moment: Standby passenger, Laksman agra ja Das, HpSwami ... ASA.. please report to Gate 108 for an immediate departure.

Do you have all you need packed into your carry-on luggage?

We are participating 100% in the FMS. Yet, we aren't involved much in the Sunday classes. It overlaps with the temple service and festivals. Also, our organizer is very demanding and wants the service to be guaranteed by Tuesday at the latest, which is a bit complicated for me. Besides, I'm getting older and have to make way for other younger devotees. I've translated for you for many years. I have wonderful memories and funny anecdotes. One day I will write about it, as a tribute to your wisdom, your preaching spirit, and your unique and fun character.

ASA - 🐷 🐖 🐖

That's what I wanted to tell you for now. I don't usually write much. You know what I do, my loyalty to you, to Srila Prabhupada, to ISKCON (Chosica).

Thank you so much for the mercy you shower on this, your unconditional servant,

Laksmana-agraja das (LAD)

(Better known as the Blue Baboon)

ASA - We know you as both. How does Srila Prabhupada know you?

Hope your trip to Cusco has been great. Heard you will be visiting historical sites especially for the imolument of Raman-reti Devi Dasi!!

Than you!
