Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All Glories to you Guru Mahārāja.
Another year has gone and we have been able to maintain some sort of devotional service by your mercy.
You like that all your disciples should get bhakti diplomas and you are showing a great example by you yourself studying and passing the exams. I am trying to follow in your footsteps and complete the bhakti sastra and eventually higher degrees. It will soon be completed.
We are trying to spread the glories of the saṅkīrtana movement here in New York City, where I am glad to have the association of many loving Godbrothers and Godsisters. Every day we are doing hours of harināma-saṅkīrtana and Prabhupāda’s book distribution in the subways and parks. Then we invite the public to various regular programs we have at the temple. It is a little successful by your mercy and some new devotees have come and are now chanting 16 rounds and following the principles. Even one devotee has taken initation, and another has moved into the temple to help with preaching!
We hope to expand more and more in NYC and hope to meet you here to show you what we are doing and hope you are pleased by our temple's efforts.
Your servant,
Natabara Gaurāṇga Dāsa
