Dear Hanumatpresaka Swami,

Please accept my respectful obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I'm ashamed that i'm not getting back to you sooner :(

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. We thought maybe you had realized our association was useless and went on to find more competent Sankirtan partners. <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />
 

So many things happened with us in the last few months.
We left Manchester for Luton in August.

ASA - Wow! Its 30-miles North of London.

Actually we wanted to move to Birmingham but Krsna had an other plan.
We had a hard time, we were "homeless" for more than a month. But we needed to sleep just one day in our car ;)
But Krsna is the best director and finally He solved lot of our problems with one arrangement.
Luton is a very disgusting place but near to Bhaktivedanta Manor, just 25-30 minutes drive.
So we can attend the whole morning program once a week.

ASA - If you dig into it aren't there some good folks, things, there? We went for several bicycle tours around our neighborhood and yes, so many stupid things, but we also found a bookstore where they said we could have meetings of a Reading Group with our tea and cookies and they would advertise it. Of course, we offered to have them sell any books we were reading.

Just once a week because we started to work otherwise we couldn't have paid the rent and the bills.
Unfortunately we didn't find part time job and after 8 hours work plus 1,5 hours drive plus sadhana we don't have enough time for internet. So sometimes i don't use the net for days.
Our plan was to work until Christmas and after that just be part time at the same company but mid of December they will move to an other city so need to find some other job. We want to work just 20-25 hours weekly and focuse on our spiritual life deeply and try sankirtana again (book or prasadam distribution).


ASA- Yes!!!  We see that this economic stuff can be adjusted very simply just like you plan, if it is not it is personal harrassment by Krsna. <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> [Fourteen years homeless with five husbands!]


We have difficulties but that's life in the material world. But all in all we are very happy because live near to Radha Gokulananda and their devotees. They are so merciful with us.
And in London always happens something. Lot of your godbrothers and godsisters come so we have such a nice association here.
I checked Bhaktivaibhava course in Radhadesh when you proposed me but i was late so couldn't apply for this semester.
In the Manor they will start a course in January but i don't know yet can i join or not. It depends on my would be work.
But anyway i can study the Bhagavatam alone and I can join next year so no problem.

HpS - ASA - You can also join the ASA Hawaii and San Franciso groups, if they match your time.

I'm sorry to hear that you come just next autumn to Europe but hopefully we can meet then somewhere for a while.
I (and i'm sure all devotees in London) would be very happy if you could come here once and gave your association.
This is a very special place you can feel Srila Prabhupada's presence.
He loved this temple and I'm sure you would love as well.

HpS -  Hmmmmm, maybe we do a big program with Oxford Center etc???

I wish you all the best and thank you for your DTC's, your blog, your tweets and your inspiring words.

Your servant,
Sri Radhe devi dasi

HpS - ASA - Thank you! Krsna doesn't waste anyone's austerities. Please tell your good husband to send us a little news of his Sankirtan also!!!
