Dear Guru Maharaja,

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

I hope you are in good health.

HpS - 70-years old the Donkey is failing, but quite good for the American standard!   AGTSP!

It has been a while since my last letter. I always have it in the back of my mind to write but time gets away from me and gets transferred to my kids. Funny because they seem like they are my deities that I worship everyday, just like Prabhupada  said. Our actual Gura-Nitai are just standing on our altar, kind of neglected. I keep suggesting putting them to sleep but my husband insists that they stay there. They are merciful Lords :)

So.... we have been working on settling down in Calgary, Canada. We live on our own in a small house, living simply. My husband graduated and got his B.Ed and is now teaching grade 2 students in a charter school. He's very busy. I stay at home with the kids. It's austere but I know that the children benefit from it!!!  And I guess it will be more busy around here with a new one on the  way! I guess I'm meant to be a mother :)

We have also started a little kirtan program once a month. We rent out a room in a community center for two hours and have some kirtan and prasadam. Very simple but effective. We feel it is necessary for Calgary since our temple does not cater too much for new comers. But anyways...

I don't want to say too much. I miss you and would like to visit you some time your are close to the west coast. By what our calendar says, you will be in the Seattle are next June. Maybe we will travel then. 

Your aspiring servant,

Rasa-mandali dasi

HpS - ASA -- No fotos of your kids and husband?  The news is great. How many people come to the program. What Prasadam do you serve? Is there an ISKCON temple in Kala-Giri?
