Hare Krishna, Gurumaharaja,

please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you so much for the letter and prasadam. The illustrations and messages are very refreshing and we feel so fortunate to have this exchange with you. I really like the red that you added to my drawing and letter. It’s a wonderful visual representation of how you enhance and bring color to our lives.

We had a really nice Snana Yatra and now we are gearing up for our Gundicha Marjan tomorrow. Deep cleaning and scrubbing of the heart. Getting the externals and the internals ready for the great Ratha Yatra procession. A truly transcendental parade..there is an electricity in the air and a buzz in the temple. We feel a push forward everyday and a nudge in the right direction.

Loved hearing from you the other day how Jayananda Prabhu would take breaks and read Prabhupada’s books with others. Sometimes I work like an ass and forgot why I’m working and who it’s for and lose perspective.

Been very inspired by watching this again..the documentary and commentary on the SF Ratha Yatra that you filmed:

and then I heard you mention it in a class right after watching.

Looking forward to having you here very soon. I will be in contact about program schedule and temple card that goes on prasadam packets. Both things are developing. Thank you for the guidance in this regard. You have appeared in my dream three times in a row now guiding me as well. First dream we were setting up for a program in someone’s big mansion. We were building a really nice bench together and I was helping you saw but I got distracted while talking and you told me to focus! Another dream: we were on a walk and I could not keep up with you. You were so calm but somehow moving so fast! There have been so many dreams but these two really affected me. Thank you and see you soon.

your aspiring servant,

Nitisara Das

P.S. here are some pictures of our home Deity’s that you asked about. And some pictures of our siksha gurus:) and a carpentry project that was done while listening to your classes. Every time I see it I think of so many points you made and stories you told ✨ they are infused within it?

hps/asa - we are, agtSP, reminded how a real Vaisnava, Guru, like Srila Prabhupada, can build a palace using bent nails like us.

our experience at the first idaho rathayatra, we built the cart with lokannatha das et al, was that if we can only offer a little bit externally eg. simple cart/kirtan, KRSNA in the audience's heart screams at them to pay attention.

packing for the trip.

...

We did not send this.

So much, emotional, intellectual, physical packing.

Now we are in our cave on ISKCON Martha Street, Boise, Idaho.

We published a trip review in anveSaka, and you and Nanda braja Das are honoring Prasadam in the other room of the cave complex.

Thanks to you all.

The accommodations are more than Vaikuntha. They are Goloka.

This is a good place to sacrifice your entire life!
