Good morning, Professor, Hare Krsna,

It is 2.45AM here, Sunday, 3rd January. We have chanted 8-Japa malas and read a little bit from Ramananada vadanam in Caitanya Caritamrta. Sri Ramananda Rai is explain the position of Srimati Radhika to Lord Caitanya. Very interesting and awe inspiring for us.

It is minus two degrees Centigrade and we have moderate stomach pains. We had to fight with water pipes rupturing from the cold for about three hours yesterday. We won. The water lost.

Dr. Ravi mentioned that they are probably, mostly stress.

Since we last talked we have been working on the Peru psychology symposium, and these programs for education in ISKCON, Bhakti-sastri, Bhakti-vaibhava etc. We have done five Power-point shows for the first Canto in five weeks. They are available with audio on the internet and we would be very enthusiastic to send you’re the link if you could listen to them.

We will send the synopsis of our presentation for the journal, “Solaris”, which will also be our proposed presentation for the symposium under a separate cover.

Tomorrow, Monday, 4th we leave for one month in South America. Of course, things have been becoming more and more hectic as last minute requests and appointments file in. There can be a fair amount of politics in ISKCON, but also the trip is getting packed up with education programs.

I read your letter about your travel: Delhi, Bangalore, Delhi. Our “Vyasapuja, birthday party” will be the 11th in Chile.

We are supposed to sit with Ramon Mujica, Director of the National Library and Eduardo Gastalemundi, past President Peruvian Psychiatric Society and current President Peruvian Freudian Society et al, on Tuesday. They are fixing participation in the Symposium and the very good news is that Beverly Zabrienskii, President of the New York Jungian Society, and co-founder of Philemon Foundation with Prof. Shonu Shyamdasani is very enthusiastic to come for the Symposium.

They are very enthusiastic for your visit but are feeling very nervous now because the Conference is focusing on psychology and your extreme expertise is history and archaeology. So, one suggestion now is that I come back again to Peru in the Fall and then the National Museum organize a program based around your visit at that time. This seems much more practical to Radhika since the USA schools will be in full session at that time also.

I will try to call you tomorrow, Monday so this letter has time to reach you also.

Thank you so very, very much for any attention you can give to our feeble efforts and of course our respects to all.
