Currently I’m in Portland and today I will give an ayurveda class at temple we have in Hillsboro. Tommorrow I’ll give a Bhagavad class at the same temple. I leave for Los Angeles on Monday. On Tuesday evening I fly to Auckland, New Zealand.

I’m preparing for the GBC meetings in Mayapur which go from February 6-17. Eleven devotees sent me requests to become candidates for sannyasa and this alone requires time to go through the procedures so that their candidacy can be reviewed by the Sannyasa Standing Committee in Mayapur.

Plus, as the Chairman of the GBC Appointment Committee and the Guru Services Committee, I have enough service in preparing for the meetings, what to speak during the meetings.
