Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - ASA  -  AGTSP! Paoho.  I think we have potatoe - apple feet but we are pushing to have lotus feet so we can help your Master in His games.

    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, you had asked about my parents in our previous communication.
    You had asked, like "Do they live in the same town as you? Do you visit them often?
    Do they have a bona-fide guru?"
   
    No, we are not living in the same town. My parents are not living with me in Pune.
    They are living in Raipur (Capital of Chhattisgarh) with my younger bother.
    I live with my 3rd brother in Pune.

    I am able to meet with my parents, once in a year for 8-10 days. But we talk almost
    every day. i am elder son of my family so have many responsibility for them.
    Yes, off-course for Krsna also. Guru, Radha-Krsna on Top priority, always.

    No, they don't have a bona-fide guru. But my mother is a devotee for many years.
    She chant 20-25 rounds every day.

    Thank you so much for BG Guide.

    Gurudev, once again, .....about 2nd Initiation.
    To get the Bh.Sastri certificate is difficult for me, because there is no Bhakti-Sastri course
    in Pune, now a days. So we will talk to my both the Shika Gurus about Bh.Sastri and
    approval letter by President.

    I need to talk with Pune Shiksa Guru. Most probably, will talk on this weekend.
    Then will discuss the same with Vrandavana Shiksa Guru, then will update you

    Gurudev, Probably next year, you would like to visit ISKCON Pune. if possible, please share
    any proximate date and days....will arrange accordingly and schedule lectures accordingly.

HpS - If you are asking it would be difficult not to come. Also Baroda.

    Gurudev, i have also written a mail to you, today, to seek your advise.So marked this letter
    as urgent.

HpS - Yes, I anwered that it seems like friendly topic so please send it here also, no? Then five more people can benefit from our talks. I was trying to answer 400-500 letters a month before we started this Blog. Now it is down to a manageable level and many, many people tell me they read the posts. Sri Krsna Katha, Ki Jai.

    Thank you, Guru Dev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA - Thank you. Very nice to hear about your family. Third brother is devotee? Father still works?
