Dear guru maharaj

Please accept my dandavat pranams, All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

I had a really beautifull darshan of Lord Venkateswara in Tirupati. It was a memorable visit and I was able to see the Lord from as close as 5 feet. I was in bliss and confusion for a while for next couple of minutes. Had darshan of Goddes Lakshmi's forms Alivelu Mangamma, Goda Devi and other deities of Govinda Raja Swamy , Panduranga.

With Gods grace and Guru's mercy I had a wonderfull trip and I will be back in Dallas on January 27th. On the workfront, the company where I am employed with has hired other contractors and I might be loosing my job. I am jhoping that they keep my job. In this trip, I was able to do my rounds better and strictly followed No Onion,Garlic rules. Initially my relatives made some remarks about the habits, but after staying adamant on it, my mom strongly supported my determination and I was able to maintain my principles. I was not really good at doing my 16 rounds  and reading Chaitanya Caritamrita in this trip. I will try to be more deligent next time. I also had the wonderfull oppertunity to the Vyasa puja offerings of other desciples, I felt a strong guilt for not doing anything as service for you and gratitude for having you as my guru.

Looking forward to meeting you in Houston.

your servant
