Hare Krsna gurudev

 please accept my humble pranam at your lotus feet.

ASA - Lettuce feet.

all glories to srila Prabhupada

ASA - !

I just read your calender for india tour. Really excited to meet you again. My sadhana is good( mangal aarti regular - missed one day because i was very tired after seva previous day , 16 rounds ok...i need to keep the quality better and constant, regulated prasadam...govardhan puja day i ate too much cake but now again in control and mind control is ok i guess  ) Mercy is flowing :) now i stay with H.G.Mukunda dutta prabhu in his house. its wonderful association. He is extremely kind to me. our fire yajya seminar is going great. Asssisted him and ragunath prabhu in few yagyas. Bhaktisastri is done (have to submit some essasys.)  temple programs in kartik is so so so nice and enthusiastic. all senior devotees. I feel more closer to you and Srila prabhupada here.

Nitai and nimai are waiting for their adivas ceremony which includes a fire sacrifice and maha abhishek which is on 13 and 14 november. After that they might go to the holy name retreat and stay there for 6 days and then they go to their new home( in assam ) and they will meet you in january :) 

i so much wish to stay in vrindavan my whole life. Wish i had so much firm conviction from inside . I am praying to srimati radharani to allow me to stay here if not now then in future.( still have a desire to study further and then join ashram).

HpS - We would think it is INCREDIBLE mercy to be staying in Mukunda's house!   It must be disentegrating your personality.   Seems you may have two life long friends from now on, Gaura Nitai.     If you stay in Vrndavana how will others know about it?    If you go out for sharing and just keep some kind of Krsna consicousness then the Gopis can keep in connection with you like the control tower in the airport. Then you can come back later again and again, no?

Gurudev i have a sincere request at your lotus feet. [Lettuce Feet] Please can you accept me as your "gayatri mantra " diskha disciple when you come to india this time. By mercy of H.G.Mukunda dutta prabhu I have an intense desire to worship silas ( giriraj ji especially and salagram sila if possible) .I asked him if i am ready . He adviced me to request you if you can accept me. I feel i  can serve nimai and nitai better.

ASA - It is a big step, burden, responsibility. Are you a Brahmana? How long have you been steady in your Morning Sadhana?  Under varied circumstances?     Mukunda will send us a letter here about his opinion?

waiting to see you in 2·5 months.

ASA - We land in Bharata-varsa in 1-1/2 months.

hare krsna.

your trying to be disciple.

rturaj krsna dasa 

vrindavan.

Hare Rama, trying to be your guru in representation of Srila Prabhupada.  Thank you so, so, much for your austerities!!!  So, much.  Enthusiasm is more important than patience, but without patience it becomes passion. Then the "Bhakti yo yo".  UP & down.
