April 20th-21st Mathuradesh, Middle East, 2006

Here we had a country program for hundreds of devotees gathered. They
performed a drama. There were reports from all the Mahacakra, greater circle
leaders. There were initiations and there was a drama. A skit on how one
should please the guru by being in a proper mood of service. There was one
devotee who came and asked permission to get married from the guru but then
he asked if he could bring his wife to see the guru. Then the guru said,
"You asked permission but you are already married! What is this? So you are
just informing me." Like that they showed humorous scenes showing how not to
actually serve the guru by practical explanation.

The devotees are coming to see me. We are having some nice association and
they prepared a special feast with over a 108 preparations saying that they
couldn't cook personally for me during the Vyasa Puja so they wanted to cook
a feast, all the matajis. Had nice time and good association.

Now I am preparing to go to Leicester for a special Congregational retreat.

Your well wisher always,

Jayapataka Swami
