Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Guru parampara.

Dear Gurudev, i am fully dependent onto you for spiritual progress. Without you, i cannot do anything that i realized well.

HpS - Then, according to the last paragraph in NOI 5:

      "In this verse Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī advises the devotee to be intelligent enough to distinguish between the kaniṣṭha-adhikārī, madhyama-adhikārī and uttama-adhikārī. The devotee should also know his own position and should not try to imitate a devotee situated on a higher platform. Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has given some practical hints to the effect that an uttama-adhikārī Vaiṣṇava can be recognized by his ability to convert many fallen souls to Vaiṣṇavism. One should not become a spiritual master unless he has attained the platform of uttama-adhikārī. A neophyte Vaiṣṇava or a Vaiṣṇava situated on the intermediate platform can also accept disciples, but such disciples must be on the same platform, and it should be understood that they cannot advance very well toward the ultimate goal of life under his insufficient guidance. Therefore a disciple should be careful to accept an uttama-adhikārī as a spiritual master."

You cannot advance very well toward the ultimate goal of life unless you see that we are struggling servants of Srila Prabhupada and you use our association to get his association!     Jaya!

There is no new job offer as of but trying my level best. Of course, for to stay in Pune need a job to manage all, so looking for a job for some time.

Materially things are not good but happy, trust me i don't have any worry, don't know why !!

16x4 is good. Full focus on BG, like how i can be useful to take it to normal audience so thinking & thinking deeply from all expect.

HpS - ASA  -- Wonderful!
 

But ready for to start workshop on BG soon for 16-rounder devotees for first two chapters.

Thinking to pay a visit to chhattisgarh after getting a new job !! what would you advise.

HpS - Awk!???   We don't know.  As always, we advise getting local team of devotees as advisors who know your local situation for local advice.   In general of course, just what you are doing.

We try to keep our ASA Sankirtan news going here.  You can see that we are struggling with our body and relationships to taste Srila Prabhupada's Purports and then organize Sankirtan systems.
Hare Krsna!     Hope to hear more from you on these lines.  Hope our Sankirtan is inspiring yours.

Thank you so much Gurudev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das
