Hare Krishna,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada!

As I mentioned, Govinda left. No one is going to be put in place as a Temple President for the time being. Harivilasa is coming every three weeks or so to keep us all in check. All the devotees really like him, including myself. He gives good classes, and expects a high standard from us. He is really good to work with, and is really pleasant to deal with.

HpS - Jaya!

I'm going to be starting book distribution. I've never done it before really. I've distributed fliers for our program at the college, but never books. I've never been interested in doing this service, but now that it is being implimented I am looking forward to it. Harivilasa wants to make some typical, proper Brahmacaris out of us.

There is a devotee here who is eager to find a guru. He says he doesn't care if his guru is with ISKCON or not. But he says he wants to follow Srila Prabhupada. That's been the latest debate in the ashram.

I've got the opportunity to speak to a religion class at the university tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it.

Since my last email, I have been feeling less pressured by Maya. Sometimes Maya gives me a break. Helps me fix my intelligence. Thank you for your advice and guidance.

Your lowliest servant,

Bhakta Adrain

HpS - ASA -  Seems like you are on the right path!   Just keep the Japa beads at hand whether the institution is good or bad!
