Happy birthday, Shyamagopala!
I'm really looking forward to seeing you in Finland this summer, and I know that I'm not the only one. Just by being in your company, one becomes happy and enthusiastic like you.
Some of the Tattvavivekis may not know it, but Shyamagopala made a very nice little booklet of his experiences in Finland last summer. Very well written and full of realisations of sadhusanga. Perhaps it would be possible to get the text uploaded to Tattvaviveka?
Your servant,

So... it has come to this... You are no young lad anymore, dear Syama Gopal. A new world full of responsibility and work awaits you. Gone are the carefree days of youth. Gone are the days of fun and hanging out with the boys. Time to tuck away that old skateboard. And better sell those old hardcore records, while they still are worth something.
Welcome a world of new experience. Is that a mortgage lurking around the corner..? Do I hear kids crying? Unemployment? Not for you. Work like an ass for a bowl of rice a day!
We, who have tread this path prior to you greet you on this very special occasion.
Your friends up North, Krishangi and Kamalaksa
PS. It's your 18th birthday today, right? (For the 6th time too, we presume...)
Happy birthday, brother!
Happy Birthday ShyamaGopal Prabhuji
Thank you all!
If anyone is interested in the booklet, I can upload or email a pdf version.
A little late but Happy Birthday my dear Dutch friend!!

Thank you, Shyam Gopal, for posting that. It was beautiful and wonderful to read.
Yeah, it was very nicely written and designed. Great pictures too! Makes me wish I were there to experience it as well.
