I'm sorry for having not write before, i have just recover my mind from the past struggles for adjusting rithms

last time i wrote to you, i was studying SB and doing BBT service, with a nice sadhana, going nice controlling tongue and saving my prasad for next day ;)

The past 27/07 i went for my first day in school (lic. in philology) (since 4-5 years no studying "wordly") it was very exciting, nevertheless, very shocking, i will just present at school once every 2 weeks on saturday, the rest of the time i'm on my own, making research work to present my printed documets to the professor next module, im having bad time to adjust myself and balance BBT service, practical service, sankirtana (actually its almost 2 days per month), making homework and also try to read SP's Books!

In the closing party of Pada-Padma and Bhakti-Sastri the 10th August the prasadam was almost 9-10 oclock so i was really hungry and took dinner (i could not keep the no-dinner vow for 4-july-2014) next day happened the same thing when we moved all of our things to the home back in the town.

After all the rigor i put into myself for advancing in BBT service during the whole curse, i fell asleep on my laurels and took several days of lazyness!! just doing mangalaratik, japa and watching some movies during the day(K.C. and even Karmi) doing just the homework but no BBT for all this week (since monday untill Ekadasi) there i took some inspiration to fast and doing extra japa and 12 Hours of BBT service! i felt so nice.

The thing is all those ups and downs are completely Pasion mode, and with the time i know if i keep like this i will not last maintaining my service, neither the study, i need your blessings and a drop of   enthusiasm and inspiration to improve myself and get the desire to reach at least Goodnes platform.

Thank you for taking your valuable time helping this little little boy

Your ever-aspiring servant

Bhakta Christian

             ASA - Jaya!       We are facing the SAME problems by moving into our office here in Tennessee and trying to focus our service more on writing what we see as essential. We have the same "falldowns" but maybe because we have more experience than you, maybe we start making adjustments faster than you. It is a challenge but fun. On the other hand, even though we may have more experience than you, you may be more sincere than we are so maybe you can adjust faster.

Learning Sadhana bhakti means learning how to do it in many circumstances.  Then we can responded quickly to changes like good soldiers!!!

hare krsna maharaj, pamho, AGTSP,
this is a letter by Srila Prabhupada to Sukadeva Prabhu

-------------------------
16 August, 1972
Yes, the program of increasing book distribution is very much appreciated by me, and especially if you can preach very widely to the university students nearby to your place, that is the best program. Try to get a course of instruction in the college and preach daily in a scholastic way. If we can attract this student class of men by our preaching work, that will enhance everything and we are very much in need of intelligent preachers for expanding this movement all over the world.

I want that you all my advanced disciples become very bold preachers and take up this task of saving the fallen humanity from its worst condition of sinfulness. If you simply convert the leaders of your country to our philosophy, then the whole world will follow and be saved from ruin. Otherwise, they are all doomed to become animals like hogs and dogs.

So you preach like that, very strongly, to especially the hippie class of men and the student class of men and convince them to give up their sinful activities and find out their real perfection of life in this Krishna Consciousness movement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You Bhvai work is pioneer work no doubt. We are glad that we could associate a disciple like you and we can see very some day people will quote Srila Prabhupada profusely in academic world.

regards,
harsh

                      HpS - AGTSP!!! Thank you.

Hare krsna maahraj, pamho agtsp.

we would try to be quick. this is regarding sankhya.
there is from a paper, it says
--general conclusion is that red and blue are associated with vowel "a",
white and yellow with e and i, and blue,brown and black with o and u.-----

these are derived from following papers
Marks, Lawrence E. "On colored-hearing synesthesia: cross-modal translations of sensory dimensions." Psychological bulletin 82.3 (1975): 303.
 

Jakobson, Roman, and Linda R. Waugh. The sound shape of language. Walter de Gruyter, 2002.

hope it helps... may we learn art of sound and carve beautfiul deity..
u want more info please tell us
hare ram
 

                    HpS - Very nice....    Please keep the links and we will talk with you as our work progresses.  Now we are jumping right in and explaining our Bhakti-vaibhava work to Dr. Jung.  So far it is working well, but of course, it requires that we go back from the "mythical thinking" and get back to the Sankhya in the earlier cantos to make a more firm ground for it, but is nice to taste the higher thing first.

Separation

Hare Krsna Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I know I should wait until your response to my last letter before writing again, but I have more anguish to express.  Though I am trying to try hard for Krsna and to not fall down, which is always just around the corner, I get so depressed thinking of how my spiritual life has not even begun, no matter how hard I am trying right now or in the past.  I feel so helpless, if I were to die tomorrow, I would be lost to Krsna... it is very dangerous.

My last letter might have sounded like I am jealous of initated devotees.  That is not what I meant.  What I mean to express is I am jealous after initiation itself.  How can I love Krsna if my spiritual life has not even begun?  This is the cause of much anguish and depression for me.  How can I bring others to Krsna if my own spiritual life has not started?  How could I help them if I leave my body before I can love Krsna myself?

No matter how much I might cry and try for Krsna, I am still just a rascal and a fool with no link back to Him.  My prayer is that I might live long enough to begin my spiritual life and receive the bhakti lata bija so that someday I might be able to begin to love Krsna...

Hoping to become,
Your servant,
Bhakta David II

            HpS - Jaya!!!    AGTSP...  We talked  a LOT about this in the last letter.  We will look for any more recent response from you.

From the house of Sri Sri Kishore Kishori!!!

Hare Krishna AGTSP, PAMHO
Dear Gurudeva. I still here in Chicago. I'm trapped in this material body, but also I have the shelter of your lotus feet and that gives me hope to go on.
              AGTSP - paoho...  So nice to hear from you.
 
Preach!
  I'm teaching Mrdanga and devotional music to 12 students, some devotees and new ones, there are three Latino children too. Probably they will be come devotees. I'm trying to fulfill the purpose for which the authorities brought me here. Many Latinos cannot read, so it becomes difficult book distribution, but I'm cooking and distributing prasadam and promoting programs that way.
 
Sadhana is so natural, strong and steady.
 
Studies I'm giving BG class in english and it's like a challenge. For SB class one must be sinior before sitting on the vyasasana<img alt="" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/52.gif" title="" />
Parampadam Prabhu is giving BVai course. I'm doing it. SB and Prabhupad's porports are very deep.
 
So ,Sometimes, I cook berfis to Kishore Kishori only when the brahmanas are very very busy. A lot of mercy.<img alt="" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/01.gif" title="" />
I see many Sannyasis and Disciples of SP. I'm learning a lot as devotees organized in this yatra.<img alt="" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/a11.gif" style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6;" title="" />
 
At what time it is better to call you Gurudeva???
 
Well,I hope to hear and serve you before it starts a world tour!
Wherever you tell me, I go. I must to ask to Nityananda Prana permition to travel. Probably when summer ends I hope. I really dont know. But I'll call you Gurudeva!!!
 
your inignificant servent, Etasa-Krsna Das
 
              HpS - AGTSP....  !  Thanks for the news.   Do you have Bhakti-sastri Diploma???   Is best to do that before Bhakti-vaibhava, no?        Your program sounds great...   If you look at the Kapi Dhvaja you can see when we have different programs.  Other times call us as you like!!!  Phone number in Kapi-Dhvaja!!!  Kishor-Kishori Ki Jai!
