Please accept my humblee obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Gurudeva, I have been chanting and reading. I still have problems getting to the temple, but I have started a Bhagavad Gita study group so that I can have some association. Luckily Lord Jagganatha threw a parade close to my house so I was able to see His smiling face recently.

This semester is drawing to an end and I am actively working on a report in one of my linguistics course to examin how Srila Prabhupada's use of English has effected the English of ISKCON and if second wave devotees are using language in the same was as Prabhupada's diciples. It is interesting to look at all of the subtle ways in which we have been touched by Srila Prabhupada. I hope to extend this project in the future to use as the basis for my master's thesis.

HpS - ASA - Aaaaaah. Such a nice study, but how can you do it without getting to the Temple to study how the devotees use English???  Seems you must be looking at both in their written format?? Is nice..

I have momentarily quite studying Japanese to focus more on my sadhana and my major and spritualizing my linguistics study.

You fallen servant,

Nityananda-rama dasa

HpS - ASA - Super!  Do you say hello to Dayanidhi and his family from time to time???
