Respected Guru Maharaj,

Please acccept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

I wish I could be there in Delhi with you to serve you, lucky are those people-who have the chance.

I always read that how much hard work you do, preaching/traveling and as a result, sometimes, you have so many physical problems like headache and swelling etc. I was talking to Priya and she said that why guru maharaj does not come to Brisbane and stay with us, and I told her that if guruji can't stay with an advanced grihastha like Nitai-Gaur Sunder Prabhu, what about us-the fallen ones.

I am just imagining how you are giving lecture in Delhi temple and Jitamitra Prabhu would be translating, so wonderful.

I would try my best to join you for your next Indian yatra during Feb 2016, especially to Manipur.  I met with Dhaneshwari and Dhruvananda-they also want to be with you in Manipur. Guruji! I do remember you had a plan to come to Australia after India during Kartik 2015, but now there is a change, any other plan in future for Australia?

My chanting is going on very well, I get up 4 'o' clock and finish my 16 rounds.  Today I finished reading Gopiprandhan Prabhu's Tattva Sandarbha translation by Jiva Goswami and just started reading Mathura meets Vrindavan by Gaur Govind maharaj.

Priya and children doing well, I hope to improve quality of my chanting by your blessings, thanks a lot.

yours servant,

Raktak Das

HpS - Jaya! AGTSP paoho.   Thank you for the news.   We only hope that you get all the fundamental principles of our yoga very solid in your life. Of course, everyone is very different. Some one is attached to gambling, another to marijuana, another to expensive clothes...    so it may be quick or slow depending how deep these attachments are BUT we can always see how we are progressing by making little steps and rules to advance our sense control.
Guess won't be able to visit Australia in Fall 2015. Guess we won't be able to travel as much as before. Becoming very painful to travel on airplanes for like six hours.  You have to become Guru.
