Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, am back in Pune on October 24, 2016. By your best wishes, the trip was super hit.
    Everything done by "Bhakta Prami"-Madav only, he was doing everything and at the end he has
    given me the credit also (for everything). i am amazed how the whole trip went. Literally, he
    was doing everything (i know my limitations)....am still amazed. May be i don't be able
    to forget.

    Spent days at Pakhanjore (North Baster District - Kanker), down town of 195 villages.
    Schedule and programs were back to back (completely packed). Meet with teachers, students, house holders,
    senior citizens etc. Response was un-expected.

    There were many house hold programs.

    Inaugurated a Book distribution center. SP books will be distributed from that center.
    Started weekly house hold programs.

    Hope to visit again in next 4-6 months and continue so. we have to prepare ourself for the
    next trip based on feedback received from this trip. Have to explore similar ways for you and SP.
    we just see the way you are doing and.... we continue....you gives the actual strength. i won't be able to pay you.

    Hope your India schedule / programs are structured now. Hope we would have clear dates.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Thank you for the reports!    Man proposes and God disposes.   We try to give whatever we can, be sincere and Krsna does what He thinks is best.  Draupadi never lost faith that all that was happening was part of a larger plan of Krsna (although she expressed her complaints).   Your report is so nice.

You can see in other letter that the India Calendar is now 77% fixed. The dates for Navi-Mumbai/Pune are basically fixed. Do you have any suggestions then about filling up this time? Of course Rama-giridhari Das has some thoughts and Dr. Samaresh will have some contacts.

We have our tickets: Delhi>Tirupati>Chennai>Kolkatta.

We hope you have good perspective from Krsna to go ahead with your specific preaching and how to fit it into a broad strategy for your life's mission.
