Hare Krishna Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Interesting turn of events since we last spoke in Boise. I was on my way to Vermont to stay with the brahmacaris. However, Krishna had other arrangements for me. Long story short I stayed, and will continue to stay in Denver, CO. Morning program and association here is fantastic!!
I introduced myself to the Temple President, and have reached out to him a couple times to set up a meeting, get involved in the community, find some service to get attached to, etc. I'm very excited to be part of a large fired up community.
I am living outside the temple and will start my newest job the second week of Sept working for the Department of Revenue, then I can pay off my debts and money owed due to the divorce (still surprised this happened and how terrible she is being).
I think over the last few weeks I have chanted the best japa I have ever chanted. Being put in a situation with no money, income, connections, and just an awful situation to deal with REALLY helped me realize I have no control, and to help my cry out to Krishna. Now that things are becoming comfortable again, I am sort of missing that feeling of sincerely crying out. Always making improvements on japa!
I just finished the Bhagavad Gita chapter in Mahabharata. Now the fight begins!
Maharaja, I am feeling anxious. I want to take initiation. May I please receive instruction on how to continue to move forward nicely to take initiation, and especially how I can be engaged in YOUR service? Please instruct me!
Your Aspirint Servant,
Bhakta Adrian
HpS - ASA - AGTSP Very nice to hear from you. We just got back from the Jungles of Peru. Just got internet. Your situation, journey sounds like God is trying to help you! What to do? What we always do is chant 'Hare Krsna'. Vidya vadhu jivanam... Then plans will come from Krsna!!! May have to chant for some time to get out of our cocoon, but always works!
Regards to esteemed Temple President. You know the standard for initiation. Just gotta do the work and then get the results!
We have heard like three different divorce senarios in the last few days where guys were reporting their wives had goe crazy: 1. Prabhupada says that divorce is usually because of weakness of the wife, 2) Women may feel that it is due to the fault of the men. They may see that they are just reacting to the insanity of their husbands. In general seems that lack of training on how to communicate and be part of a bigger family is 90% of the problem.
Send more news in a few days. How is Govinda's?
