Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Guru parampara.
My applogy for delay.
Gurudev, Actually i have had 'aparada bodth' for i did not come to meet you on your
February 2013 trip in Kolkata, Mayapur. I was in Pune for new temple opening
ceremony at that time to serve devotee. I had service at shoes stand for two days.
HpS - ASA - AGTSP... paoho. Wonderful. You know that Krsna did something like that at the Raja-suya sacrifice, no?
Due to this 'aparada bodth', i have not entered into the new temple till today. I have
not took darshan of new deity till today. Myself is not allowing me to pardon myself
because as i understand, Guru is ultimate & Guru is more important then Lord.
It may be a small incident but it is not allowing me to pardon myself. And due to this i
was not writting in blog.
But when you called me on 30 April 2013 at 8:12 AM (Indian Time) in the morning to
know about me. I was Speechless. There was tears in my eyes. Your call given me lots
of unwordable things.
Guru Dev, only you can pardon me.

HpS - We discussed your visit and had both decided that it was probably better for you to stay in Pune for the Temple opening. I didn't take it as any kind of offense. That we what we had planned. I would liked to have seen you when we cam back from Australia, but ooof. Honestly we were so, so busy with this work with Dr. Samaresh that we didn't have any time for anything else. Of course, maybe you could have visited us then and helped with that work, but I think that our little intelligence is working the best it can and Krsna's unlimited intelligence is making all the adjustments necessary to carry on His Sankirtana. Your lists look very nice. We are working on Sankhya also and our next phase will be to get a copy of the Master's Thesis that Yadunandana Swami did when we get to Radha desa. More news about Pune!
