Hare Krsna Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

                ASA - AGTSP   paoho.  Swollen feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Regarding CC Madhya 15.102, I am sure I will have plenty of questions to humbly submit in the time that you request those who wish to become your servants.  Thank you for this verse.  I had been investigating 4 maharajas previously, one at a time, over the past 10 years.  I felt the spiritual connection with Radha Govinda Maharaja, but as I do not know Hindi the material connection was not quite there.  I have felt both connections with you, so I am trying my best to follow your instruction.  In following your instruction, I feel transformed and enlivened, and more complete to know I may soon be a member of Srila Prabhupada's family.  It was only earlier this year that I nearly left my body due to being unable to take more than milk and water due to more than just severe depression, and now I am bursting with energy and happiness.  I am so grateful for having met you, Maharaja.  Please bestow your mercy on this fallen soul, that I might continue on.

I hope to read and then study more of Srila Prabhupada's books when I have read through your recommended literature, primarily Srimad Bhagavatam.  Then after reading, study.  I would like to eventually become good at preaching, and also better at harinam (voice/mrdanga in particular).  These are the things I have felt most passionate about, though I am not very good at this time.

             HpS - AGTSP.... Jaya!   But can you dance for Krsna!
