Hare Krishna, Maharaja Pamho
AgtSP and to you!!!
I have attached the answers to your questions.
In the Bhagavad-gita, Krishna remarks that He is the ability in man.
Do you cultivate that in your students?
HpS - We try to teach our students rhythm for the Kirtan, and then to chant from their heart.
While I don't speak about it directly, I do provide hints by explaining the reasons behind certain things, thereby introducing who Krishna is.
HpS - "Nice tasting, water, 'ei, Mate". ({{{{I am the taste in water}}}). Krsna says the same thing to Arjuna in Chapter 10, no???? Then in He suggests that He is the paramatma and Arujuna !!!! asks!!! to see that.
Do you study human physical and mental development across the different stages of life?
HpS - Yes, Varna Ashrama Dharma. We had a whole semester on it in the Psychology curriculum in the University.
Yes, I look at how development should unfold from the prenatal stage through to old age; however, I always find myself wondering: how can I explain to people my age—or to my students—that we are not the body, without causing offense?
HpS - Have to find their basic assumptions and go from there.
Do you talk about celibacy?
HpS - After we tak about Kirtan.
I discuss this with the players on the men's and women's teams. Since they are young and at a stage in life where they often go out to parties and the like, I tell them there are other things they can do instead.
HpS - If the boys are celibate their energy goes up, up, up and finally fertilizes very fine cerebral cortex so that they will have very fine intelligence.
In girls it involuntarily starts going down each month during purification of the uterus so that their energy goes down and out and they develop very fine skin and sense perception.
Yet, whether you are riding a male or female (young or old) donkey it does not matter much if you chant Hare Krsna.
Being concerned about sexual superiority over spiritual authority is like showing up at a gun fight with a sword.

Do you have pleasant classmates, teachers, or coworkers?
Yes, some are pleasant, though our interactions are mostly work-related or involve university assignments. Lately, however, I’ve been connecting more with the children of other devotees; we have a monthly program for those aged 12 to 23 where we chant the maha-mantra, hold a class, discuss what we’ve read, and do activities like games, finishing up with *prasadam*.
HpS/ASA - 🐵 🐖 🐖 🐖 so fine! So Fine all the time!
My coworkers don't share my worldview, but they do respect my lifestyle; some ask why I think and live the way I do, and I tell them it’s because it’s better—it allows me to live a calmer life without constantly rushing.
I would also like to ask for some advice or guidance on how to proceed during the remainder of my studies and how to continue growing within the movement.
HpS - Just go on focusing on getting up early and getting your rounds done.
Are you doing that?????????????????
