In2-MeC

From a letter I received today:

It was nice to hear about Nijmegen in in2- mec, as the last year program you had there is very vivid in my mind.

There was an other professor there too, the moderator, Van Mijk was his name, I think. He was quite intrested in Krsna conscious philosophy. You said you had an interesting conversation with him in the beginning.

Later on, during the program, I could see his face while you were speaking. He was visibly oscillating between a real interest and a fear of his academic frame of mind being pierced. He seemed to be a jnani trying to make a step further from his "pure jnana", and being kept back by the conservatorism in his heart. The fight to overcome the jnani identification in himself was interesting and somehow inspiring. One felt like wanting to help this person to advance somehow. And one would also become thoughtful about one's own self-purification.

Yesterday I had lunch with my long-time and very dear disciples Vrndayanya-priya Prabhu and his wife Ananda-laksmi dd. They´ve moved to a bigger flat and are preparing a room for me to stay in the next time I visit Antwerp. I was driven to and from their place by Madhava Prabhu, Vrndaranya-priya's father, who is a disciple of HH Bhakti Caru Maharaja. Madhava Prabhu has for years preached regularly to congregations in cities around Beglium, despite a poor health condition. Very inspiring.

My own health has declined since coming to Antwerp. In this room I stay it is either too cold or too hot. Anyway, life goes on. I'm giving one class per day. Tomorrow after Bhagavatam class we pack up to go to Sridhama Radhadesh.
