My obeisances Dayalu Prabhu,
I am very much happy to converse with you always.
Because you are always introducing some subject about Krishna, His devotees, philosophy of KC, etc. This always leads to happy talks:
mac-citta mad-gata-prana
bodhayantah parasparam
kathayantas ca mam nityam
tusyanti ca ramanti ca
I looked up the reference to the foot bite of Takshaka:

Prologue:
In October of 2011 Sriman Navasundara dasa wrote the following to me regarding a conversation he had with Srila Govinda Maharaja after Sagara Maharaja left his sannyasa to marry.
On the subject of Sripad Sagar Maharaja, i can only repeat what I heard Gurudev say to someone i know well and what he himself said to me.

In my email to Sriman Datatreya dasa sent on Apr 17, 2022 I wrote in part:
Before I respond to you fully I would like to know who you accept as spiritual authority. If we do not accept the same sources of spiritual authority it will be very difficult to find agreement.

Dear Sriman Gaura dasa,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
On Oct 25, 2018, after learning you had a practice of going out for book distribution during the winter holidays season, I sent you an email containing some quotations regarding the glories of book distribution, book distributors and our gurus’ high appreciation for both. Among them was this one from Srila Sridhara Maharaja.
Srila Sridhara Maharaja: By canvassers in Navadwīpa, then Calcutta,

Mr. Deace,
During your program yesterday (May 3, 2022) you repeated a common theme of yours “there are only broken people”, aka “all men are sinners.”

If you say he created one sinless person, Jesus, that only moves the problem one step away for it places another limit on God; he can create a sinless person, but only one.

The Cowardly Putin
Coming Soon: “Putin – The Biggest Coward of Them All”
Since the beginning of Russia’s surreptitious invasion of Ukraine in 2014 I have observed many cowardly actors in the form of leaders in the West. These include the current President of the USA and leaders of NATO member nations.
I have yet to see any leader behave in a more cowardly fashion than President Putin of Russia or any actors showing more bravery than the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, certain members of his
