I got initiated by Ananta das Babaji Maharaj - some Radhakund news

Jai Sri Radhe,
Dear Raganuga Bhaktas,
Let me thank all of you their who contribute to the Raganuga.com site. I used to ask question in the name of "Kamala". Infact It is my great fortune that I come across Raganuga web site. I was an ISKCON devotee for the last 20 years and looking for a gunine guru for some time. Now by the mercey of the Vishnvas like Madhavananda, Radhapada, Jagat who clarified my lot of questions through email and telephone. This last February when I went to India I got the real Initiation of Great Bhagavat Sri Sri 108 Ananda das Babaji Maharaj of Radha kunda. It was the greatest thing happened in my whole life. I find a genuine nice guru in him, I don't have words to explain. And I had a great fortune of staying near by him for about a month. It is my good fortune that I was able to associate with Madhavananda and his wife Malathi. On the appearance day of Nithyananda prabhu we did Goverdhan parikrama and Radha Kund Parikrama. MadhavanandaJi is very expertly explained so many confidential pastime places. While doing parikarama at a point came I could not even walk and my feet started hurting. that time Madhavanadaji carried my lugages so that I was able to complete the parikrama. He is a wonderful devotee. Also baba's disciples are so humble and down to earth like babaji maharaja. This web site is a great help for the sincere searchers of Raganuga bhakti. So please do not misuse this great site. I wish all success for this site. In this site Sri chitanya mahaprabhus mercy flowing like a ganga, to those who wanted it.
I once again thank all of you for the help.
Yours Servant,
Hari Charan Das

Welcome to the sampradaya, Hari Charan Ji. Congratulations on your diksha!
Is it Ananda Das Baba or Ananta Das Baba? I think you may have meant to write 'Ananta'. Just wanted to make sure.

Hari, I fixed the typo from the topic title, "I got initiated by Anan
da das Babaji Maharaj". A cute typo though. One man in the printing press here noted down the author of the books as "Ananta Ras Pandit".

Madhavaji,
When I was at the printers in Brindaban last year, a very distraught American gentleman was complaining to the proprietor that he had spent his last money on printing 100 cards offering his 'Massage Service'. Unfortunately the printer thinking he was smart 'corrected' this to 'Message Service'!
He had taken the cards in good faith because he did not have his glasses to read them. Now the printer refused to correct his mistake, claiming it was the American's fault. The latter responded, 'I am not a Messenger! What am I to do?'

Some lessons to learn...
(1) Never give open files to a printer, give everything in PDF.
(2) Always oversee the printing, check the master printouts before the negatives are made.
(3) Don't pay everything in advance.
Etc.
Aside this, Delhi is quite much better in this regard than Vrindavan.
Here also they messed up some small things; I just made them reprint the defective part (page too high) and replace it in the publication.
