Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thank you for your reply.

The temple president is doing fine. He is really fired up about getting a lot of new things started here in Hawaii. I'm doing a lot more service, which is nice. He approached me once about the girls. He didn't say much, at all. He sort of said "I came to warn you about such and such girl.....I don't know what else to say..." and that was the end of it. He is thinking about having me move into his quarters. The GBC, Hari Vilasa (spelling?) is here now. It was his suggestion to have me move in with him. He thinks it would help. And I have been improving since I last wrote, but that's not to say it isn't difficult here.

I'm working on organizing more preaching programs. I think they have a lot of potential. I've also been given the opportunity to give some talks here and there.

Hardly anyone here comes to the morning programs. The Govinda Datta Das Prabhu and I are the only ones who attend regularly. Besides that, some devotees come off and on. More often they don't come though. Some of the senior devotees come sometimes, but they don't live conveniently close to the temple (convenient by Hawaiian standards). So it is really hit and miss. 

I'm not even sure who Ramananda Das is. I'll ask around for him though. There are a couple senior devotees here, I forget their names off the top of my head, but they have been good association. I know one says he knows you, but again, I don't know their names. I'll get back to you on that one.

You want me to try to make arrangements to go back to New Dvaraka? I'll work on it.  I know Govinda wouldn't be happy to see me go. I'm his key player in making this place more of a temple. But I'd be happy to go wherever you'd like.

Your humble servant,

Bhakta Adrian

HpS -  Jaya!   AgtSP    Paoho.    Last night in Spain, then on to Radhadesa.   From what you are now saying it seems that it would be best to stay. In the beginning I was suggesting to fix a certain amount of time with Govinda Prabhu, like three months, something. Did you do that?  Have you made some commitment to stay for some time no matter what?

Yes, if he is the only person there for the morning program then staying in the same Ashrama sounds essential.  Can he write to us also!?      It would be nice to hear from him about the Temple etc!

Ramananda Das is president of ISKCON Temple on other island as far as I know. He is very nice. Maybe you could even visit him for some time occasionally.
