Hare Krsna Maharaja,

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

Thank you for your responses to my recent inquiries.  Govinda's Buffet looks like it might open sometime in late September under the care of Kartikaya and Nandini this time.  We have over the past weekend moved into the non-brahmacari ashram across the street from Radha Govinda Mandir.  I have to work still, and I am not so sure I would feel comfortable in the other ashram as I may take up grihasta more formally several years from now, more properly this time, after initiation and under your guidance and instruction.  That is more my nature, for now at least.

Maharaja, I apologize for my impatience.  It may have been almost 11 long years, but the formality must still be there.  A very powerful anartha of suicide which has come up since my youth had returned again and I was feeling pains of being outside of initiated life.  Very thankfully this time that it came up I found just how to remove it and it is now gone forever.  It was like a painful stone buried in my heart, but now I feel liberated.  I am now very satisfied and can better enjoy inquiring submissively while I follow your instruction until the proper time has come.  I feel inspired to say it would be nice to spend more time in your association before then, by your mercy, though I work so I may have difficulty doing so.  Maybe  after some time I will be able to travel.

Hare Krsna Maharaja,

Hoping to become,
Your servant,
Bhakta David II

----------  HpS - ASA -  Jaya.  AGTSP.   thank you so much for the news from Srila Prabhupada's new badarika ashrama...   is so nice to think of the devotees and the property.  yesssss....  take the ashrama, work-situation, lightly.  most important thing is building your world around 16-enthusiastic rounds daily and 4-principles strictly.  hare krsna / hare rama.   suicide is to give up the human body and who knows where we go next.  smaaaasching   our nice car.
