Hare Krishna

[Guest guest]

Hari bol!

Please accept my respectful obeisances. All

glories to Srila Prabhupada & other devotees. Thank

you very much for mailing me. Just yesterday one of my

friends here had asked me the meaning for 'Srila'- &

I, being ignorant was groping for an answer- it's

really great that Krishna has sent the answer through

you. Hope you remeber that I'm doing my final year

Engg. in REC, Rourkela- We had a great time when we

were in Bombay- thanks to Lila Purushottama Das

Prabhu- we badly miss the association of nice devotees

like you. Here, our daily program is going on well but

due to lacjk of good devotee association people loose

some enthusiaism- but somehow I'm trying to enthuse

evryone by reading BTG article & other trancendental

thoughts. I have a plan- I wish to give this great

science to my juniors- since they are the ones who can

give their ears to my talk- so, i'm planning to

deliver a message to my juniors in the coming days-

but, somehow I'm not getting the confidence due to

poor fund of knowledge that I possess- so, please take

time out of your busy schedule & give some tips &

important points that can be used in the lecture. I

would like the lecture to be a bit humorous. So,

thanks for associating with a fallen soul like me &

would be glad to continue this association. That's it

for now.

In your service,

 

Aravind Mohanram
