Thank you Maharaj for the advice. I too take my job too personally. I think I should find something more saatvic.

ASA - - -AGTSP. Paoho. We should make a healthy endeavor but not become violent and then... ... you will see an obvious miracle. Krsna will do something. Maybe just tell you how to adjust your current work.

Dear Maharaja
please accept my humble obeisances
Things here are going pretty nice. I stay in the ashrama from Tuesday to Friday. Go out on harinama-sakirtan book distribution every day with the bramacharis. Also holding a program for junior devotees at home twice a week (with Brhadmirdanga das bramachari). I also keep editing the english translation to a book on leadership (orginal is in russian!). We spent a nice week in Toronto in a seminar with Vaisesika prabhu and the bramacharis. 16 rounds daily, new readings: Nectarean Ocean of the Holy Name, the Art of Chanting, and got a copy of Waves of Devotion. We are just missing your tpp cbs !! my address is .... Health is ok, body still working good enough to serve Prabhupada's sankirtan and follow saddana. We are also starting to reed and experience the Brahma samhita. It seems there is no end to the quality and quantity of written material by the BBT and Prabhupada's disciples. We also got a copy of Vedic Astronomy and Cosmography bu Richard L. Thompson (Satyaraj das - Sadaputa Das) After the editing service we hope to write a proposal for a university program from selected materials on your essays. (Philosophy of nature, Jung in India, etc) We also wrote small poems in the spirit of your earlier poems. Will share them here soon.
Ohe Vaisnava Thakur ! receive my humble obeisances and gratitude

Sridhara Prabhu will take initiation June 28th and we are waiting for dates for Marco and Pablo for Spain. We are not managing the database so well. Maybe somebody can help us???
AND
“A Living Theology of Krishna Bhakti” by Tamal Krishna Goswami we will start reading and reviewing for Sankirtan. Get your copy at Amazon.com or ask us for a free copy. We have one extra.
~~~
If that is practical considering time, place and circumstances, I am turning in for these. What is to be done for the disciple database?
Your servant Namacarya das
HpS - ASA - AGTSP! Thank you for your offer. I hope it we can use it. Next step is to send us your postal address so that we can mail TKG's book as soon as possible.
Then I will send you the password so that you can work on the guru-tattva.txt file.

The Kapi Dhvaja flew in space. We answered many letters just to keep the pace. We met with Patraka, Laksmana, Subhra, Jiva Go and also Dravida for pronuciation of Sanskrit to know.
Tomorrow we are in our Friday class and we meet with Srivasa Pandita BhVai pass.
Hare Krsna Maharaj,Pamho, Agtsp,
its glorious to have been associated with you in anyway for sinful, insincere beast like me.
we have improved a lot our last 1 month in terms of our external behaviour and agitation of mind.
but we have concern with our chanting. our external circumstances are not very encouraging or reminding us of good chanting. we dont hope they would change quickly until we learn some lesson which Mr. Krsna SPOG wants us to learn.
however bigger trouble is our mind....our pronuniciation is not very clear, when the pronunciation is clear our beads rotate faster (less than 5 min for a round), and top of that, all sinful/ beastful ideas come up in our mind....if nothing else our body esp lower neck will have pain after two three rounds..which is indication of reduction of stress...........thought there have been occasional 1-2 min nice chanting, slow, rhytmic, and with proper meaning...getting up from Mangal arti helps but itstwice or thrice in a week........mostly our idea is just to get rounds done....there is no question of relishing it.............there is no doubt it is mostly parrot chanting...
we also figured out that we are doing offences mainly 1 {cursing past counsellors], 3 { not obeying super soul and gurus}, 7, 9, and 10 ( mind does not want to give up sex desire even illicit, but agrees to remain in marriage)..
.we were waiting for a grhastha counsellor to tell this and see if he can tell us some thing.. but we did not find one whom we can trust.we even have doubts that we can fulfill the rule of illicit sex as described by you (sex only for procreation),, ..,,many times we have heard different standards of Illicit/illicit sex (http://iskcon.us/chaitanya-charan-das/illicit-sex-outside-marriage-illicit-sex-capital-illicit-sex-within-marriage-small/)..but we understand you definition... we definitely are very much willing to follow them and the make sense.....
we have indulged in undesired movie/literature for around 10 years..even though we have stopped it now. we are getting flashes of it our mind...we are fighting hard...but we dont know if we can ensure accident less application of this rule, even if we are intiated....
once we asked you, the candidate should be willing or should be able to follow rules? as far as we remember you its willing...please correct us if we are wrong... we are willing but dont know about our ability....
with such a circumstances (both internal /external) do you think we should apply for intiation? and what should we do to improve our chances for applying for intiation..
regards,
beast horse
HpS - ASA --- There is NO fixed schedule for everybody. Everybody is a different person. Even without formal vaisnava initiation if you are trying your best to advance by chanting then Krsna will help you forever.
Just try to make progress each two weeks. Yes, you have to be follow the principles, good rounds, morning program for one year before first initiation, but don't worry about that. Just see where you are and make progress over from Kapi Dhvaja to KDh.
You are also a very, very, very rare person. As a husband, father, son, student, we all feel happy to have your association.
Illict sex is usually a community problem not a private problem. Yes, get an Ashrama guru. It is not proper for Sannyasi to talk too much about these details.
