Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Gurumaharaja I didn't write long time as I was waiting when my Mangala Arati Sadhana will be fixed. I am happy to tell you, that my mangala arati is by your mercy stable now.

HpS - We suffer the same thing. Don't want to talk about our problems until we solve them, but a lot of solving them, is to talk about them.   Very nice that your are doing the Cha Cha Cha in Mangala Arati for Radha Madhava! 

We recently came back from Europe where we visited devotees and family to Sridham Mayapur. Before leaving I was able to upload 22 new books in 6 languages and made good work on new engine for Vedabase. Preparing for early access followed by public beta. It is taking time, but should be robust and nice to use.

HpS - Everywhere people report using Vedabase.com.  What happened to the Share Line, Tweet, button that was on each page. We used it. If it is too much of a problem that is o.k.    Also, as you get more and more languages it seems that you are going to have to put them in a Pull Down List, no?    Do you get Book Distribution Points for every hit?

In Europe I attended one programming course. And after we both attended Hare Krishna camp in Czech. Both were big inspiration. Programming course inspired me as there were people with similar interests, inteligence/logic and skills with whom I could speak knowing they will understand me. I realized that I was missing such association, although they are not devotees. And Hare Krishna camp was big insipiration for meeting all different devotees which we didn't see long time.

Just after you left Mayapur we went to Thailand. It was amazing. Huge relieve after West Bengal, people are polite there, streets are clean and they have culture. On airport they even have Visnu with demigods how they churn ocean. 

First few days we were on south in Krabi. There is nice devotee community there. (Recently we have seen photos how Sudama Sakha Prabhu recently opened Govinda there) After that we went to one small place in half way to Bangkok and stayed for 3 weeks. We rented house from one devotee Russian couple who rents houses.

There are many buddhist temples. We visited two of them in place where we stayed and local monks feels pure and sincere.

From our beach we could see on mountain huge sitting Buddha. Went there for trip and chanted few rounds in the temple there. Architecture and all paintings which they have are very beautiful. It was very peaceful and after the visit we felt very enlightened.

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das

HpS - Very nice!!!   We were hoping to hear from you!   So, you settled back in Sridama Mayapura?    We read that some devotees got a public apology and cash, but you didn't get any cash. (Ha! Ha! Ha!)
Can you send your annual financial report for NIOS.  Where the money came from and where it went to?
Our respects to your good wife.  Are you going to live as Vanaprastha couple??
