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

      Guru-maharaja, sorry I have been unable write, life has gotten very busy.  By your mercy and the mercy of Sri Sri Radha-Giridhari I am serving on the altar four days a week.  Dayanidhi prabhu and his wife Vrindavan mataji have been very kindly allowing me to stay with them when I have service and have been very patient in teaching me how to properly behave and serve on the altar.

     Since I have recieved the gayatri mantra, I have been chanting it daily at the apropriate times and keeping up on my japa.  I have had the great mercy of having Dayanidhi prabhu show me how to bath and decorate the Govardhana and Saligram Sila in the temple and Dharmasetu prabhu has been allowing me to assist him in preperation for fire yajnas.

     I wanted to take a few minutes to check in before we begin preperations for the celebration Giridhari's pastimes here in San Diego.  I hope to write something more substantial when I go on break next week.

Your servant,

Nityananda-rama dasa
