Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my obeisances, all the glories to Srila Prabhupada!
It's been so long since I wrote to you, but I'm still so happy I got to see you in Lima and Mayapur early this year, but as you requested a while ago, here goes a short report. 

As I told you before and by your suggestion I'm at university studying a Bachelor of Commerce and will be majoring in Accounting, I'm almost half way through doing it part time.

HpS - Ooof, ever since there has been money and bags of grain there has been need of accountants.

We were living in Brisbane, but have recently bought a house in Murwilumbah, it is the town where most devotees live and it's only 10 minutes drive to New Govardhan Farm and Gurukula. We decided to buy our house here because we would like Suryani to spend time with other kids her age that will attend Gurukula with her. She will start attending pre-kindy (2 days a week) next year. We have many friends here too, friends Dhruvananda grew up with, and hope our kids grow up together as well.

The community is just amazing! The new generation of Kulis are just too sweet, no dramas, no worries! Just a big group of friends that get together to do kirtan, eat prasadam and be there for each other when need to.

I just love it here!. I'm hoping that once settled into our new place, I can get some service at the temple, already been invited to do service for the deities...

By Krsna's mercy my father-in-law Atul Krsna Prabhu has given us a flat in Sri Mayapur Dham, and lovingly has furnished it for us. We hope to visit every year for 3 months and are very grateful you gave us your blessings to do so. Suryani is growing too fast, she is 3 years old already, very sweet little girl that brighten our lives and learns very quickly whatever is taught.

She mentions you often and ever time she sees your picture in our altar she remembers you and sweetly says: this is Tickle tickle Maharaja, (she remembers that you tickled her).

We are hoping to visit India in mid January and stay until early march. We are really looking forward to seeing you as it is one of the main reasons of our trip.

HpS - Hare Krsna. Yes, we are fixing our Calendar now, but won't be in Mayapura except for a few days. Maybe you will travel to Delhi or something.


I've noticed in your calendar, that you will only be in Mayapur for 3 days! Do you think we could join you for any of your other trips around India? We will try our best not to be a burden and to be helpful where we can.

HpS - Ha!!!  Great minds think the same way. Where we will be going might be of special interest to you all also. Maybe even visiting the North East. It is like visiting Narottama Das Thakura in the 16th century.

I suppose this is all for now, hoping I didn't took much of your precious time.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

HpS - Of course, your letter was written before Raktak Das departed for Gokula... Thank you for your communication in that perspective. Please write more often as practical. Dhruva's preaching activities are wonderful and we con go on expanding our co-operation eternally in Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan movement, no?!!  Respects to your Father and Mother, Brothers.
