Respected Guru Maharaj,

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

I went to twitter and listened the lecture on start meeting with Nitai Gaur prabhu, it was so nice.  I was going to ask you that you should also put this link in your Monkeywarrior home page and it is already there, Jaya. Guruji! kindly do this every time, that you also put the link on this website, since someone may not have the twitter acct and thus, they would be bereft of the opportunity to listen.

Guruji! have your chalked out your indian program, any rough sketch? In one of your news letter you mentioned that you would be going to Manipur, would you also be going to your usual places of pilgrimage like Naimisharanya and Lucknow etc. and Vrindavan/Mayapur or would you like to go to Punjab?

Here in Brisbane, everything is OK, my job is always up and down, but my chanting 16 rounds good quality, now-a-days I m reading Bhagvad Gita As It Is and sometimes, I go online and see the commentaries of different Acharayas on the same verse, it is really interesting.

Priya and children are excited to join you next year during your Indian journey, hope Krishna provides enough by that time.

Thanks and HARE KRISHNA.

yours servant,

Raktak Das

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP...  paoho...  We hope you are making nice progress in all of the basic principles of Sadhana, no?       For example, if someone is attached to sports activities, like gambling, then he is lacking part of the foundation to his Bhakti-lata and it will grow, but slowly and even with distortion, so we all have to understand these priority items of Sadhana Bhakti: Sixteen enthusiastic rounds minimum, four-principles strictly, a full Brahma-muhurta, morning program . . .   Sankirtan!

Then from Vaidhi-bhakti we can progress to Raga-anuga Bhakti very naturally (BG 4.10 Purport!).

First is am I?      Guess we are a mostly a writer at this point in life.   Who is the Raktaka Das?

Second is who are we?      For India we have Dr. Samaresh, Rama-giri-dhari Das, Yamuna in Manipur, Indian disciples and friends (Eg. Vasu Gosh), other Yatris like yourself and the Gopinatha Pujari. . . .

Third we make some plan where to go when....

Who are you?!
