Hare Krishna Maharaj,
You asked which temple. I am based in ISKCON DC (Potomac). I spoke to Radhika Raman Prabhu for some advice as well as not to over-step any lines. Please forgive me.
Maharaj, I would really, really like to receive my beads and new name from you directly. What is the best and most convenient way for you…?
HpS - Well, by mail, SKYPE live video teleconferencing etc. We can certainly do it. Of coures, in any case we will chant on the beads and choose the name!
Radhika Raman Prabhu also suggested one should not delay from something so auspicious, but I’ve been picturing this moment since I was 16 and you were physically there. It would mean all the worlds if you could be present. You will be in the US for the next month, if there is any time that you can allow, I can fly you out? We can make every possible arrangement with temple authorities.
I will do as you see fit and whatever Krishna desires. Please excuse my debatable behavior.
Your fallen servant,
Sarita
HpS - Looking at flights, etc, it is really difficult. Of course, during the fire sacrifice you could also be "dreaming" we are there. Ha! Ha! Ha!
When is the priest available? Weekend of Sadhu-sanga??? What about Houston, Texas, 14th June?
