Respected Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupad.
Just came back from the temple after my weekly Friday afternoon cooking, Priya was helping me, we made like 08 items, and plenty.
HpS - AGTSP and the Kids? They didn't help!??
After offering, head pujari said that Gaur-Nitai are very happy with the offering. I don't know about that, but whenever I enter the kitchen or do anything important or important, I alway say,"Jay Hanumat Preshak Swami Guru Maharaj, Jai Jagatguru Srila Prabhupad".
HpS - Mukhan karoti vacalam... !
Yesterday, we had very sweet Prabhupad disappearance day festival, presided over by our local gbc man HH Ramai Swami, he gave a nice class sharing with us Prabhupada's life in a Chronological way. Your God-brother Abhilash Prabhu came, he said that please apologize from Maharaj on his behalf that he could not come while you were here in Brisbane and then, he gave me a nice flute to give to you.
I am not happy to know that you have been biten by spiders, hope that now you are recovering. Can you kindly use some kind of mosquito net etc?
HpS - Hmmmm. We don't know what it was. Is gone now. Basically is like to much pitta and then it pops out some place. We have to be more and more and more careful of honoring, prasadam, dancing and properly associating as we get older. Old age is a good friend for a devotee, pushes us to become pure devotees. We don't know how much more time we have left. If we don't artificially try to maintain body then it may go quickly, even in a few days! One day!
We have given up.
What Krsna wants, let it happen. We just do our transcendental eternal service to Him.
Who is a Abhilasa Das??? His name sounds so familiar.
This is last letter this evening and then we will write the Kapi dhvaja for you!
Please tell Priya and Kids that they are great heroes for loving you even though you are a Bufalo Headed Punjabi.
Respects to so many devotees in your Yatra. Was so nice to be there
Of course, we go to India 9th Feb - 1st March.
have chanted 12 rounds, still 4 more to go, jai Guruji, HARE KRISHNA.
yours servant,
Raktak Das
