Hare Krsna!!
Esteemed Professor,
We have finished a week in Chicago. It was 6-7 degrees at night and they had not started the heating in the building, so we sat infront of a little fan and heater on the floor like Himalaya Yogis and did your work. We have built very good relations with our good ISKCON authorities and Bhaktas there. Several are in the University and we had two university programs as well as about 800 guests for the Govardhana Puja Program. Subal Das' wife in PhD in Education and we are continuing to work with here.
We tried to contact Rama-giridhari Das on Tuesday as planned, but discovered that he has left for Vraja with 75-devotees from his Navi-mumbai program. He Skyped us that he will be back on the 10th and planned very seriously to get in touch with us all then.
We feel very bad that we have not been able to move ahead with these weekly calls. We are always pushing our priorities, but we have realized that too much anxiety only results in too much eating and passionate effort.
Did you get our previous letter with the Photo links for the "Man Making" Book?
Has Sri Hari Das sent the print outs?
Did you get copies of our letters to him with ISBN and resend of Didhiti Bisvasa letter?
We have to work on the Foreward.
South America, even on the second try, is facing great problems in translating some of the articles, but I have expressed, and even our UN members agree, that we should at least format and circulate what we have, which is substantial, to our Editors and more intimate contacts, then move ahead with good advice to the next issue.
So, Abhirama has planned to have a good, formatted copy available by this weekend with photos.
With him we are also working on getting a page of bio-data for your good self on the Wikipedia and the review of our books in Spanish language journals.
