Dear gurumaharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
First of all i wish to express my developing sense of gratitude for initiating me into Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON and the guru parampara. Yuktasya bhaktams ca niyunjato pi, vande guroh sri-caranaravindam. Along with it came a deeper sense of responsibility towards you, SP, Krishna, and also all people who came after me to temples, who i can serve by helping and sharing what i've learned.
Besides this i still look to fix my service. I'm still engaged in helping putting out Dutch content on the Benelux website and magazine, but recently i was also investigating Dhanesvara's book. That didn't work out, and i was actually relieved about it. Now i focus on seeing if i can help BBT by putting out the Dutch BG in ebook format, along with some other publications. It shouldn't be too hard, i guess, but i yet have to delve into the technicalities. I've got four weeks of time available to work it out. See what Krishna decides.
The family had a grain ceremony at friends house which was fun. The little girl took the book, and everybody was happy. Also, this week we had a meeting with a traveling sorcerer of some sorts, from South Indian brahmin ancestry. Good siksa came out of his reading, especially the tips on how to smoothen our family life in KC. These were cooling rays of Lord Nityananda's mercy. I still need to find shelter of a good grihasta couple, where i can inquire on the matters that i have.
Basically there is still so much more scope for delving deeper into the inner realm, chanting better rounds, and such. Anarta nivrti is very intense these last few days, very sad and ugly things coming up intensely. There is a mercury retrograde until july 20th i learned, adding to this. I have to laugh about it every time i think of a description i heard you give, that after cleansing finding that whats there is basically a big mess.
Still finding solace and learning opportunities in your online classes from Hawaii, and it's fun following whats happening with the travelling creature. So happy that things are moving forward for you with the publishing, and i wish you find the help you need with the promotion and beneficial circumstances for your writing.
About the MED website, looks good so far. I haven't got any background in this kind of content, but it seems there is so much data that has to be added. Are schools gonna be able to login and update things themselves, besides a webmaster running the site?
HpS - AGTSP. Jaya! Thank you the news!!! Yes, there are a lot of questions. One basic thing I am is that people should pay to be Members. Then there will be money to pay people to do the Web-master work, write good articles for the newsletter. Then people will get good information for their investment. If it is basically O.K. then we can run it and learn by doing.
Looking forward to joining in at Japa Joe's den whenever i can. My obeisances unto you maharaja.
