  Dear Prabhu,
  
  Hare Krishna! All glories to Srila Prabhupad! Thanks for your msg. I would prefer to reply you via yahoo. I find it alot easier there than here. I face some technical problems when I am at this site. Msgs are created and just as we are about to send it, there is complications and the whole thing is frustrated. So pls look out for your yahoo mail. Thanks again and you have a happy and healthy life. I will continue praying for you. Bye. Haribol!

  Dear Prabhu,
  
  Hare Krishna! All glories to Srila Prabhupad! I trust you are doing well by the grace of Guru and Krishna. Please forgive my delay. Its exam season and I am awfully busy for the next month or so.
  
  Is you leg ok? Sad to hear of your recent condition. I hope things have improved ever since. Well Trikaldas prabhu is not a doctor but he is quite knowledgeable on the Ayruveda. Maybe he can offer you some lead about your condition. His contact address is: trikaldas@yahoo.com. Just mention my name in your initial message to him. Rama Navami was a very quiet affair in my home. It was a working day and so I prepared something simple. How was your festival? Are there temples and devotees in your area now? Actually which part of Austria are you currently living in?
  
  Could I ask? Do you think the tatoos may have contributed to the retention of fluid in your legs? I mean you have them all over and so I was thinking if that could be a side effect of it. Just a passing thought. No offence please.
  
  Well I have got to go. Please keep in touch when you can. Yes I will pray for you daily. Thats what friends are for right! Take care. Bye. Haribol!
  
  Your servant,
  Suda.

  Hare Krishna Advaita Prabhu! All glories to Srila Prabhupad! Thank you for your reply. I was missing your association. Infact today is Ekadasi and I just finished evening arati and the recitation of Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam. I thought about you again before chanting hoping that Lord Krishna will bless you with happiness and good health.
  
  Well since you are in Austria why dont you contact Trikaldas prabhu, my friend. He has returned to Vienna from India. I am sure he will be able to help you out on health matters.
  
  Thats all the news on my side. Hope you get connected to the internet and we can resume our contacts as normal. Take care and be happy in your sadhanas. Bye. Haribol! Radhe! Radhe!
  
  Your servant,
  Suda.

  Hare Krishna! All glories to Srila Prabhupad! I see hardly anybody writes to you here at this site. No worries as I am here and we can use both avenues (yahoo mail included) to communicate. I like your pics. Especially those of Vrindavan. Its very hot here today and the fan is running at maximum speed. I hope there will be some rain tomorrow. Take care and do keep in touch. Have a healthy kc life. Haribol! Radhe! Radhe!

  Hare Krishna Advaita Prabhu!
  
  All glories to Srila Prabhupad! All glories to Sri Gauranga! May you be blessed with happiness and health in Krishna consciousness. Thank you for your reply. Due to workload there has been a slight delay in my responses. My apologies.
  
  Well how are you doing lately prabhu? Is your health improving? I have been reciting Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam lately for the sake of a dear friend and have also included your name in seeking the blessings of the Lord to alleviate your distresses. It must be very hard to cope with illnesses and continue with sadhanas.
  
  The culture of collecting contacts but not corresponding with them is a common trend in all these networking sites. Its the same for tagged, facebook, friendster etc etc. Even here for that matter is the same. Except for you and another devotee the rest here dont even say "hello". It defeats the purpose of joining to further the cause of sadhu sanga. But I want our friendhip to continue. That is the reason why I have given you my normal email address. Pls contact using it when you want.
  
  Thanks for relating your experiences in Tokyo. 30 million people in the city of Tokyo alone!? What a horrible situation that must be. The entire Malaysian population is only 25 million to date! So the ISKCON temple and other Buddhist shrines there must be like mini oasis in the desert of material existence. I am aware that ISKCON Japan has its website and I have visited it. There are videos and a photo gallery. They are planning to open a Vedic temple. That will be nice. A neat Vedic temple in Tokyo. It will attract crowds. I am aware that the Japanese are fascinated by things Indian, including songs and movies especially Bollywood stuff. I have a Japanese friend who loves India so much that he lived and worked in New Delhi for 2 years. Do you visit your foster father in Japan often? Is it difficult being a vegetarian in Japan? They are sushi people!
  
  Tomorrow is Ekadasi here for us. I normally offer a special ghee lamp for the Lord. Will do it on your behalf for your good health. Take good care of yourself and write when you can. Bye. Haribol! Radhe! Radhe!
  
  Your servant and friend,
  Suda.

  Hare Krishna Advaita Prabhu!
  
  All glories to Srila Prabhupad!Thank you for your wonderful msg. I am very happy to hear from you once again. I hope you are doing well and that your health is improving. I have now added your name in my prayers to Tulasi Devi and Lord Narasimha. I have the faith that They will protect you.
  
  Yes Myspace is nice. Infact its better than this site. Here people rarely write to each other. They begin with friendship requests and then they just slip away. No contacts after that. Of course I have found some fabulous friends too who have contributed to my life. Very few though. But I find Myspace more interactive and broader in scope. Amazing profiles they have there. You have more than 600 friends! How do you keep in touch with them?
  
  Yes tattoos are a big hit nowadays especially with the youth. I see it everywhere. Its a fashion statement! Well I suppose its not the norm among the orthodox Vaishnava communities to adorn tattoos. Of course the modern Vaishnavas especially in the west are all excited about this form of spiritual artistry which is permanently displayed on their bodies. One person whom I met has a smiling Jaganath on his arm. He says its a good tool for preaching when people enquire about his tattoo. But did you know that among the Sri Vaishnavas of south India, they have the practice of branding during their initiation ceremony? Two small brands representing the chakra and shankha of Lord Vishnu are placed on hot coals till they are red hot and then the disciple has them branded on both his arms. Must be very painful I am sure. But i see that you are tattooed all over.... even your head! Must be quite a display if your remove your shirt in public. A walking and talking art gallery! Yes I have heard about the Buddhist monks and their tradition of tattooing. Quite afew buddhists have them in specific places of their bodies to ward of evil spirits.
  
  By the way I am very keen to contact Japanese devotees and know their lifestyles. Cant find them anywhere.If you know someone who is interested to communicate with me then pls let me know. In the future you may contact me via my normal email address: sudmail@yahoo.com.
  
  Take acre of yourself my dear friend. I will pray for your good health. Hope to hear from you soon. Bye. Haribol! Radhe! Radhe!
  
  Your servant,
  Suda.

  Hare Krishna! I visited your page at Myspace. Read your interesting profile and viewed all those pics. Turth is I am not into tatoos. I dislike the needle very much even injections by doctors. Low tolerance for pain! But I am aware that its a growing trend among the younger generation. Some of my students have them also. Surprisingly one of my favourite tv shows is Miami Ink. Have you heard of them?
  
  I spent more than an hour in your Myspace page and viewed the profile of many of your friends. A good number of them are devotees who lead very varied and amazing lifestyles. I am not a member of Myspace. But i just recently joined facebook. Its not as user friendly as Myspace. You cannot view the profiles of others and decide to be friends or not. Might join myspace. Will let you know if I do join. Take care and I shall pray for your good health and spiritual well being. Bye. Haribol!
  
  Your servant,
  Suda.

  Hare Krishna prabhu! Thank you for your reply. All glories to Srila Parbhupad! I hope your health is getting better. Can ayurvedic treatment help alleviate your pain? I dont know anything about your ailment. Will check the internet for more infor. It will be good for you to also chant the Narasimha Kavacha for keeping your devotional spirits high. Where are you now; Japan or Europe?
  
  I will pray for your good health. Take care. Bye. Haribol!
