Dear Hanumatpresaka Maharaj,

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

Writing you from a new home which the Lord gave me, and it is yet another temporary situation of unknown duration, as this complex will be wrecked soon. A grave reminder of the temporary nature of life in this world. May it sink in!

Fortunately living inbetween the Amsterdam and The Hague temples, about one hour travel each. Last sunday gave such a feeling of being home, after sunday feast, sitting in a small setting having bhajan. It is inspiring and there is a new temple complex coming in the Hague, so likely some practical service can be rendered as well. 

One more point worth mentioning is that i've been listening to your recorded classes, and hearing your voice is very comforting. In terms of content, what i understand from what you share about your disciples and your approach to shastra, i get a sense of hope to one day actually becoming a valid disciple. 

With the upcoming Parikram, i wish you a wonderful stay with your godbrothers in the Holy Dham.

Hare Krishna,

Richard

HpS - AGTSP   pamho   Here we are in Vraja.  It is 9.17PM   Raktaka Prabhu offered us some San Papri (a sweet of grahm flower), and some bananas. Probably should have not eaten late, but so exhausted that not eating is also a problem.

See, our life is just like your life.  Slowly, slowly, we figured out that some things we have to do even if we take birth life after life.    We have to get up early and get out rounds done (with meaning) and proper respiration and posture.  We have to follow the four principles.

And push to find some Sankirtan ecstacy, and continue serving Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan even if we don't get that pure ecstacy right away.

Get up early and get your rounds done!
