Dear Maharaj:

Pamho. AgtSP. Hare Krsna!

1. Thanks for your last reply and providing me with a good GBC referral (Prahladananda Swami). I will contact him in the near future and will carefully follow your advice on how to do so.

2. Thanks also for your concern about my health. Recently, I was able to have my Doctor reduce my mediacation dosage and I feel lots better. At this time the Hep-C virus is in remission and if I complete the whole year's treatment of which 3 months remain, I stand an excellent chance that I won't see a relapse.

3. 4 reg's and japa have been strong, especially for the last year and a half. I'm by myself living in a studio one bedroom with little accommodations meant especially for effective sadhana to become suitable for vanaprastha life. My wife continues to do OK living in an assisted living home and I visit her regularly.

4. I look forward to speaking with you once you arrive in the SF bay area. I will call you on or after 7/22.

Regards, yhs,

Saranga Thakura das
