Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Dear Maharaja, how are you? I hope you are getting better from your illness. I have not made myself aware of what it actually is. I'm sorry but I wish I could help somehow.

I started school and am learning on how to be a dental assistant. It's interesting but also not interesting. One thing though is that despite my very heavy course load I manage to chant my rounds every day. By your mercy only it happens. There have been times in the past though where I have left one or two to the next day. I feel like it's such a terrible thing to do but I just need to tell you. Please forgive me. Otherwise it has been a minimum of 16 rounds every day.

My reading has wanned a bit. It's not so consistent and I find myself not trying to make it consistent. I seem to be more concerned of Yogendra's reading than mine. It might just be a lack of enthusiasm although that enthusiasm come from reading. I'm not sure what to do about it. It wasn't like this at the beginning when I started to write to you.

Um, and one last thing. I know it's kind of late notice but Yogendra and I are getting married next week on the 29th of September. He came back from his trip and it was a surprise to me. He's a little grown up now. Please give us your blessings. Again I apologize for my lack of communication skills. Please forgive my ignorance.

your aspiring servant,

         HpS - ASA -  AGTSP......   paoho.   So nice to hear from you!    We had the 15th for your wedding date.          He's be a fool not to marry such a nice girl as you, right!            -{:O)-                We think so....     Even Monkey...     It's tommorrow.  Wish we could call to congratulate you.        Marriage is not SO impotant.   The important thing is to have nice Deities and worship them together.     That's the  IMPORTANT thing in married life.  Very fun.

            Main thing is that even if it is small the reading should be regular.  EVERY day read the KRSNA book before going to sleep.   EVERY day read one page of Lila-amrta before beakfast.   Get association do it regularly with your father, mother, sisiter, husband, Jagannatha!                      O.K.              More news.       News of the Temple!

One wedding gift attached.
