All glories to Guruji and Gouranga
Sripad Maharaja Ki Jay
Please accept our humble obeisances to Guru Maharaja's padmacharan that in the last meeting of the initiated bhaktas of Thoubal ISKCON decided to request our Guruji for coming Manipur on the 23rd and leaving Imphal on 27th Feb. 2014 if Guruji can adjust the programmes. Our family will purchase the Air tickets of Guruji's to and fro ( Kolkata-Imphal and back). Moreh ISKCON Bhaktas requested this time also for coming Moreh and Mayanmar but this time we could not arrange like the same programme of previous year. We will concentrated only Guru Pujah, Interaction, Freequent Nam krtan with Guruji, question and answer and mainly hearing of Gurujis lectures on Bhagavat and Geeta etc. Please suggest something for our bhaktas and mandir and any specific programme to be taken up during Gurujis Manipur Visit. As previous year a team of 35-40 in a but will visit Mayapur, leaving Thoubal on the 28th Feb. 2014.
We could not invite Guruji directly from America, so when Guruji is in Mayapur pleae spare 5 days for the simple and poor bhaktas of Thoubal as mentioned from 23-27 Feb. 2014. We are waiting eagerly Guruji's positive response for purchasing Air Tickets and other arrangements like finishing of Gurujis Ashram (Room). If possible, please mentioned the name, flight etc.
Yours fallen servant

Esteemed Jamunesvara Das, Hari-das Das et al,
Hare Krsna. AGTSP!!! paoho.... Thank you so, so much for your letters and even thinking of us. You mentioned that you were having some illness and could not go to your office. This has passed? Of course, such diseases are excellent opportunity to judge our developed consciousness and preparation for death.
I also have been out of station from the 15th of October until just last week. We had to go to Texas for a North-american Symposium on Educational Development. We were one of the principal organizers and our daily work-load was intense.
Now we are back at our Base in Tennessee and everyone agrees that it will take us until end of January to apply all the results we got from the three weeks in Texas.
We feel Krsna wants us to continue with these management responsibilities until January 12th 2014. That is the 10th anniversary of NIOS, our educational corporation, trust. After that we will be more free to write and just travel as we like.
Please, don't give up on writing personal letters from everyone even if we are a little late to respond.
Of course, the Blog - www.hps.monkeywarrior.com is always the best place to communicate because then so many more people can hear the glories of Sri Dhama Manipur!
VISIT MANIPUR
You are all very, very cruel! We want so much to visit Manipur. We love Manipur. We even think of just throwing all these other responsibilities to the side and flying there, BUT... ...
. . . ..0'...... We are trapped! [Maybe this is how Sita-devi feels!]
This visit to India is very short.
Only three weeks and the real center is the ISKCON Leadership Sanga (ILS) meetings from 16-23rd February. We arrive a week before that and then we have very fixed work for NIOS with Dr. Samaresh and Rabindra-bharati University in Kolkatta. After the ILS we would just go to visit Sri Vrndavan dhama with Nitai-gaurasundara Das, the President of NIOS. We have not been to Vrndavan for almost two years!
So, what to do?
Maybe we could come to Manipur for one day from Kolkatta. Ha! Ha! Hare!
In any case we are never, never separated if we want to be connected as long as we are chanting Hare Krsna as dictated by Srila Prabhupada and Lord Caitanya.
Mother Saci is one of the MOST intimate associates of Lord Caitanya yet she was not able to see Him for 24-years. They communicated soul to sould, by dreams, by letters and packets of Prasadam!
So, what do Radha Govinda say?
How is Ekanatha, Partha-sarathi, Sadhu bushana, Vana-mali... ? Are any of them coming to Kolkatta, Mayapura, Vraja.. during our visit?
We wait for your letter and our response should be much faster. We are at our Base until 25 December. Then we will be in South America (just like Manipur) until 29th January.
