HpS - Hare Krsna. Thank you for the good news. Death is a big excuse for not chanting Hare Krsna. Krsna gives us difficult situations like child birth so we can practice chanting in all circumstances. Practice. Become guru for your world. Name of your baby?

Chanted five rounds. Was very purifying. We learned a lot. Now eight rounds finished. That's enough. One more on the way to the Samadhi for mangala arati et al. Still very quiet here, in the Guest House. Holds about five hundred guests. There are 12 such buildings. Loud howling outside from the jackals. Suka deva Maharaja gets up at 3a.m.so we can't turn on the light until then, but we can read the Kindle Ramayana on Bhakta Nokia 1502 and talk amongst us monkeys. We should write essays. The first one should be for Dr Samaresh.

Hare Krsna. Hare Rama. 1a.m. Maybe we can contact Saunaka rsi Das. It seems we are in the middle of the mode of passion. 1,200 delegates here at the ILS. Running from one program to the next. Dozens of coloured booths and handouts. Have to work hard to find some Sattva guna in all of this. No new letters at monkey warrior. Organized a separate SB class for Latin devotees yesterday. Seems like it will continue daily. Temple room is almost uninhabitable during mangala arati. Not enough fresh air for us. Pass out. Japa has such loud ambience that we cannot... ... Ocean of faults. Chant Hare Krsna and post to this Blog six times a day. Twitter is not working. Chant five rounds now!

Hare Krsna 2.50am Answered few letters. More bath. Five rounds. Sukadeva Swami is sitting up and starting to chant. He follows me in the bath. Yesterday Devakinandana Das and Mataji's room was robbed a little! Long, exhausting plenary session. One seminar by devotee from Caupatti temple. Nice but off our path. Ministry Meeting. Meet 100 devotees daily! About 15 letters not answered. All URGENT answered. Bath now and go for Samadhi arati.

Please accept my respects and obeisances (tried to be humble)

All glories to Srila Prabhupada, Hanumatpresaka Swami and all Guru Parampara!

 Thank you very much for coming Gurudeva.  How are you?  I just read about you headache and health problems, I hope this letter find you better.

I didn’t send you the annual report in December; please Gurudeva, forgive me.  

Last year was hard but amazing! We were born again! I received your causeless mercy. We are striving, trying to keep the sadhanna .There were some difficult days, but by Krishna's causeless mercy, your valuable instructions, we have withstood severe tests and that it is strengthening us and change us( little by little).  I have faith in this process, in you, and  Srila Prabhupada. 

This year balance and depth: I can hardly be a constant person, so I’m trying to do my duties in the best way possible, finding balance in all activities, but I want  to study more than in past years.  I have resumed Bhakti Sastri with Prabhu Laksmana. Please Gurudeva bless me with intelligence to understand and be able to apply this knowledge.  I try to go at least 4 times a week to mangalaratik. I'm singing 16 daily rounds, now concentrate more to do enthusiastically. We are fulfilling the 4 principles.

About the service, I have a question Gurumaharaja,  what happens if a devotee tries to do some service and tries hard, giving their best, but in one way or another is rejected (again and again) and it generates a lot of frustration. How should we understand the rejection or disparaged in devotional service offered to Krishna? It is easy to fall into the role of victim, but as devotees, how should we understand and deal with this scene?

Thank you very much for your time Gurudeva.

May Lord Nrisimha deva always take care of you.

Trying to serve,  Indira-Sakti devi dasi.

P.D.: I send pictures of your Vyasapuja, we celebrated with Pushpa Prabhu, mother  Raykisori  and mother Radhana!

HpS hare Krsna. We don't know the details of your frustration so we can't give a detailed answer but, initiated devotee takes frustration as mercy of Krsna and goes on trying to do his duty. Of course we hare to understand why is our duty. Getting up for mangala arati every day is our duty.
