Hare Krsna Respected Guru Dev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Guru Dev, as you had advised, I always keep NOI with me and whenever & wherever i get time, I read.
    While i am living life as per NOI I but as you advised, i will start deeply as per NOI III also.

    Local temple association is as usual. Temple visit - 5 days in a week (evening time). Doing fund
    collection seva under guidance of brahamachari. Devoting more time in study.

    Guru Dev, Please advise me for what kind of big responsibility i should go forward or ask to the
     temple authority because i am doing (now a days), small-small seve like prasadam distribution, PPT
     preparation & mail drafting for on-line fund collection (for corporate people), go with bramachari
     for new people cultivation program on week end, some small preaching seva and some time
     counseling for new people (if requested) etc.

    Please advise me so that I will ask temple authority for big responsibility.

    Guru Dev, I am not doing Bhakti sastri course officially but studding BG, Isopnisad, Chatinya
    Chatimarita (studing of Mahaprabhu's Parsad) and NOI. SB not started yet.

    Guru Dev, Bhakti sastri is 4 years course (officially) in Pune. So if you advise i will inquire for next
    registration and start studding.

    Guru Dev, Please let me know your opinion and view. Please correct me wherever i am wrong.

your servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA ---   Hare Krsna, Gopal Das . . .      It is noon.   Our eyes hurt from this computer.  Seems we will have to reduce as time goes on.   You can answer 85% of our letters.  Ho!    Ho!    Ho!

BIG SEVA - Super famous director in the history of theater, Constantin Stanislavskii.  Youcan find him on Wikipedia.  He said, "There are not small parts in the play, just small actors".  Is our idea too, no?               We can look for new things by strength of our intellectual abilities, but real thing is to do the service we have with more enthusiasm. utsahan.   Then Krsna will reveal to us more and more the cosmic proportions of what we are doing and we can surrender to them as our courage allows us.

O.K?

The Bhakti-sastri program sounds fine.  You can give us samples of their Calendar etc. so we can use them to develop our programs!

O.K.   (Oll Korrect)    Now bath and Gayatri.   All the correspondences finished.   All the projects going forward.        Reducing the number of projects to more sane level.  Naturally yours will expand!              Any suggestions for our visit to India between mid February and End of April.    About 10-weeks possible, but includes on month for Australia.   Maybe you should go to.
