I have been here in Melbourne, Australia for over a week, which lately is a long time for me to spend in one place. The article that was recently published on the “Sampradaya Sun” was written by me about 4 or 5 years ago for the European Leadership and Management meeting that takes place each year. The idea was not to criticize the leadership of ISKCON, but to see ways of improving it.

Upon arriving in Melbourne, I went to the New Nandagram farm about 2 hours away and give a yoga seminar with lectures on Krishna consciousness to about 15-20 people. As Kali-yuga progresses, we can only expect people to become more and more receptive to Krishna consciousness.

Tommorrow, I go to Sydney and to the project at Govinda Valley where I will give lectures to the devotees and teach them some yoga. This year I passed my certification test for Iyengar yoga.

Yours in the service of Srila Prabhupada,

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.
