AGTSP !
Please accept our humble obeisances
Dear Maharaja
Thanks for answering the last letter, a bit sad you won't make it to Montreal, Chicago is a bit far for me. Back in Montreal we're just keeping it simple but focused. Reading Chaitanya Bhagavata mainly but not only, chanting, deepening insights, listening to kirtans (Vishnujana Swami-Aindra Prabhu) on the portable player. We Made a very simple space for Panchatattva pic and Krishna - Balarama small-5cm ? hand carved icons, Krishna is playing His flute on top on Macchu Picchu hand carved mini sculpture ! with garlands from the Temple's small Radha-Krishna deities. Can't feed them (they are so, so small, not proper deities) I had an idea while chanting the other day (or was inspired to) to build a whole Vraja forest on that whole surface, we've seen in a DC garden how bonsai gardeners do it, may be even a Govardana hill ? some day it may happen. On the intellectual front we've begun to study Carl Jung's historical development and ideas, seems that there was a mystic in there, now we understand why you were and are so interested in his career. We got in contact with the Bramacharis, they are moving constantly now, this is the way how it was done in the past here in the Canadian east and it seems it will continue to be so. They invited me to join their Florida December book distribution Marathon, may be even Cuba in October and Mayapur in February -Gaurapurnima with a Vrindavana parikrama, Maharaja, we wish to go so much, I remember what you adviced me, but still is it possible to have once in a lifetime pilgrimage to Mayapur and Vrindavana ? We feel there is no other place worth going for inspirational purposes.
I hope this doesnt sound ofensive but we Know that Srila Prabhupada is taking care of us, and You Maharaja are His trusted Liutenant. We are simple sudras but the mercy is abundant, all Glories to Srila Prabhupada ! Gaura Nitai jaya ! even us get a chance to be cleansed and filled.
your servant

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!! Such a full spiritual life. Get initiated in ISKCON. Get a Temple President or Sankirtan party leader and do this stuff! Sounds wonderful. Then you can also develop your own Sankirtan ideas and become a Sankirtan leader!
