Gauranaga. Humbles and Glories.
I just read the Kapi Dvaja. In New panihatti Dhama I was personally introduced to Srila Prabhupada by Tamal Krishna Goswami, that weekend in February 1975. He brought me in and had me set a flower on Srila Prabhupada's desk and said "This is Bhakata Michael , he joined our party at a young age." Prabhupada looked at me and said "Very good."
Then Srila Prabhupada said "You are all Vaikuntha men," (we were immaculately shaved up and adorned with tilak and dhotis.) "I am very grateful that you are assisting us in distributing our literature. I am always thinking of you boys in the vans." and " Stay brahmacharya if you can. My guru maharaj went directly from brahmacharya to Sannyas, You will save yourselves a lot of trouble if you are able to do that." He added that "You have a good leader with Tamal Krishna Goswami, you follow him and I will be pleased."
Yesterday the wife and I went to El Rancho for sankirtan. 5 people bought Srila Prabhupada's books from us. The last one to a man that had repeatedly gone to Kalachandji's restaurant. Everyone got a maha flower garland from Sri sri Radha Kalachandji.
We are months away from being able to get to Mayapur. In the mean time, I have a lot of work to do and there is the sankirtan mission of Lord Chaitanya to worry about.

HpS - ASA - Hare Krsna!!! AgtSP. Seems to me that you and Arron can live together peacefully and help each other. It comes from realizing that I have to decide to be happy and not depend on others, using their association to become happy and not sad.
Of course, always heading for more renunciation.
We posted your letter as it is in our Blog.
We are in Houston lecturing and on "Lord Caitanya, the Ideal Preacher of Srimad Bhagavatam" in preparation for Gaura-purnima and we have distributed 15=TLCs so far!
Thank you.
