Respected maharaj
Hope you are in good health. I am very sorry that i had not written to you for so many days. I always remembered you in my mind .Thank you for the letter that you wrote to me in email. I am eternally gratefull that you have decided to take me as a future disciple knowing my problems.
I didnt want to write because i couldn't keep up to the standards . Few days i didnt chant my rounds .
HpS - Then keep track of your debt and begin to pay it back. Chant an extra round each day. We only neglect chanting because we are stupid, no? It will give us all kinds of benefits!
But now i am back on track. Did my rounds and trying to wake up for mangal aarti . Recently i saw your kapi dwaja and ABC Curriculam . I made a time table for myself keeping mangal aaarti , tulsi aarti etc and the books you mentioned in the ABC curriculum in my daily schedule. I am so gratefull to you maharaj for making it so easy for me and others.
Since i last wrote to you i went to mayapur dham twice. It was blissfull expirience. So many wonderfull things happened there with me. Second time i went during kirtan mela . I got to see H.H.Radhanath maharaj , H.H.Sacinandana maharaj , H.H.prahaladananda maharaj, H.H. Candramauli maharaj etc .didnt talk with them as i didn't know what i could say . Just paid my pranam and heard there classes. During sivaratri night H.H.Candramauli maharaj gave me his maha Garland iN Jagannath mandir. I also attended the kirtan mela but couldn't see the the panch tatva deities crying ( i went outside ISKCON to take darshan of radha gopinath and get maha garland in gopinath gauriya math....i was greedy for the garland so i missed the mercy of mahaprabhu... should have stayed in ISKCON only, sorry maharaj).
regarding my service . I did book distribution in train while going and coming back from mayapur dham. during nityananda trayodasi and gaura purniima cooked for the deities and also prepared fruit juices for abhishek. by the mercy of pujari pabhu he allowed me to do abhishek of gaura nitai during gaura purnima. About regular service in temple i mostly do cooking when i go as there . Once i got chance to cook for giriraj ji also.
Recently i heard a lecture that you gave on JAPA from youtube. It was so inspiring . I could really connect with the concept of homunculus and also how we can worship our japa beads and consider them as like massaging krsna's toes. Thats like we are getting to touch krsna even though we are not brahmin . It was such a awesome lecture maharaj. Thank you.
I saw in your calander that you will be comming to india on 6th of may and visiting sri vrindavan dham. Maharaj please allow me to come with you and be with you during that time . Please maharaj allow me to stay in your association. Out of excitement i already booked my train tickets to mathura on 1st may. Maharaj how can i contact you when you arrive at delhi.
HpS - ASA - I guess we can burden Harsh with job of communication secretary. 919910579879, 919930034241. Se you there!!
I have never been to delhi before alone . Will you be having any phone number that i can call and meet you in delhi and vrindavan or your personal helper's number that i can call .
I am so excited to meet and visit sri vrindavan dham with you. It was a dream that i aspired for in my heart to visit vrindavan with you maharaj . With your and srimati radharani's grace i might be allowed to enter Vrindavan and that too with you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Maharaj i have a request . Can i call you Gurudev from now ?
HpS - ASA - No..... ISKCON rule is only when one is a Formal Refugee. That means following for 6-months and get letter of Recomendation from Temple President. O.K? Maharaja is fine!!!
Sorry for the long letter . I just couldnt stop writing .
Dandavat pranam maharaj. ALL glories to you .
your aspiring servant.
