Hare Krishna gurudeva,

All glories to your beloved Srila Prabhupada and this Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Sankirtan movement!! 

Please accept my respectful obeisances, dandavats. 

Dear gurudeva, 

I long so much for your vapuh association.

ASA - Brother Ass?  AgtSP!!   Paoho.

Im currently living in LA, planing to stay here for at least one or two years. I was debating between staying here or moving to the Krishna Lounge House in Gainesville, Florida. My desire is to go back to college and study something (maybe teaching, translation and interpretation, or nursery) but I just found a room that I can rent on the same street where the New Dwarka temple is. I'm praying to get to know what Krishna wants for me. Anyway, I'll go wherever He takes me.

ASA - Hmmm. Sounds like Vrndavna-lila.

I also played Ugly Putana in the Janmastami drama, it was very challenging but satisfactory, here is the link:

Gurudeva, I want to ask you four very important questions, 

1. Where are you going to be for your Sri Vyasapuja this year???? And for how long are you going to stay in that place???

ASA - We don't know. We were thinking about the Krsna Lounge in Gainseville or Los Angeles but we can't take the smog! We are thinking about it. Now we are just trying to get back from India alive.

2. If I, with the help of other devotees, can arrange college programs, etc for your preaching, would you like to come? I would love to see you soon, and I would love to serve you here in LA. 

ASA - We may visit but S*M*O*G kills us. More likely visit San Jose.

3. For me, that I haven't been in India before, when would be the best time to visit the Dhama?

ASA - Not when, but with. Finds some cool devotees whom you can go with and go with them. Spring and Fall, up until Gaura-Purnima and during Kartika!

4. How can I appreciate more guru, sadhu and shastra? 

ASA - By making nice lunch offerings to your Deities.

Attached some pictures of festivals like Janmastami, Balaram Purnima, Srila Prabhupada's Vyasapuja, and pictures of the original BBT paints. 

Thank you very much for your inspirational service.  

Willing to sincerely follow in your footsteps, 

Your eternal servant, Aindavi dd 

ASA - Thank you!   We look at your pictures. What did you think of the art that we sent from our sketch books?
