All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Bhativedanta Swami Prabhupada Radha Krsna, Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Brnda Ki Jay Dandavat Pranam Guruji Maharaja, Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji's Padmacharan that in the last Sunday, we sit together with all initiated and mandir bhaktas about Guruji's Mnipur visit (Thoubal, Toubul and Imphal) visit and finalized the following tentative programmes. But Guru please highlight if required any changes. One thing, when we met Banamali Prabhu yesterday in the Imphal ISKCON Mandir, he inform me that some days ago Haridas Prabhu, himself and some other recommended and forwarded some names for first initiation (Name Diksha) including one lady from Imphal. I have no knowledge about this, so in the programme, we have not including the initiation programme but simply Guruji's visit to Toubul (Sripada Maharaja's birth place). During this period, if they arrange the initiation programme I have no objection. As I had already mentioned early, this time from our side no one is interested for taking first initiation but two to four members wanted to take second initiation but without getting Gurujis acceptance, I have not yet informed them. Another one is Banamali Prabhu suggested me to hold Guruji one night at Imphal, so in the programme a little change and included Imphal programme. Earlier a separate sitting of the initiated bhaktas were arranged but due to shortage of time the programme was excluded. But during Gurujis Thoubal visit, at least 10 to 20 minutes are very must necessary for such bhaktas for their Sukha-Dukha in their spiritual activities and their expectations (Man ki Bad). From Guruji's side the strict instructions of Do's and Don'ts will give a powerful force to the bhaktas in their day to bhakti sadhana. Yours fallen servant Yamunesvara Das.

HpS - AgtSP. Paoho. Sorry slow to answer this. Where you reading the DTC? Maybe not practical because in English. We had very, very, very hard travel 23 December until today. Seriously planning to die in the airplane. Much better now.
If letter is urgent just write that in the Subject field and were respond the fastest.
The schedule seems short but the trip to Maharaja's birthplace seems like a loss of valuable time and opportunity. Seems were could serve him better in Thoubal or Imphal.
Better not to go to Toubal unless you expect chance for helping the preaching there. WE NEED GOOD TRANSLATOR for all programs.
When we go to Imphal we need time for one good class.
Also, because time is so short seems we should also eliminate the full Gaura Lila.
Let us have a seminar for several days on Upadesamrta with many copies for distribution.
What do you think?
