Hare Krsna Maharaj
Hare Krsna dear Maharaj.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Please Accept my Humble Obeisances.
*I am re-uploading this message as there was a response saying it has not been read yet. You are utterly busy, and still you have the time to read my letters, Thank you very much!!!
*Also update: I have started Uni. Going into the second week now. One of my classes, I have a drawing assignment. I think it'll be quite fun. Let's see. I think at least for now it's a step in the right direction. Also, one of my friends here has said for me to take the online course to teach english. It's a quick course that one can take and once qualified, can teach english to foreign students and get paid. Perhaps I can also do this as well. One can even travel the world with this qualification. This is a good idea and you have mentioned before that teaching is good!! :))))
Thank you again, for always giving me the perfect answer. I very much value your responses :)) YOu asked about the Kapi Dhvaja. I have tried to join some months ago but somehow the computer was doing this and that and somehow I couldn't get through. But I just tried now and submitted my interest so hopefully I will be accepted and then receive these emails. It is very exciting. I can't wait. I have also subscribed to the KK Bindu emails. They are quite nice as well.
My mother sends her regards. She wants to know where your Vyasa Puja will be held. This is a great idea. We can all come and see you! Hopefully these circumstances become better soon and we can travel.
HpS - In January or December. WHo knows what will be happening by then!!
Bheemsen is fine, playing games as usual. Everyone in family is well. Doing their own thing. My sister is working a lot now too. My uncle (we call him Ata) is also doing good. Working at Govindas. What can we do? In this world we must work, otherwise we are not able to survive. After working at Govindas I truly understand why our parents are always insistent on us getting proper qualifications. ALthough working for Krsna in such a way is nice, we can serve Krsna in other stable, more proficient ways, isn't it? We can dovetail our true passions and give the results to Krsna. I have been trying to do more art while I'm at home and I've been making block prints. I made a Lord Jagannath block print and I'll be stamping him everywhere now :))) If i practice more, perhaps I can even help design the deities outfits and backdrop. I have given 2 devotee friends sets of Jagannath paintings and they both loved it. It's nice to give such gifts.
I have just bought a camera. I've been using film but it's a little expensive to do all the time so I decided to buy a digital camera. I've really enjoyed photography so I'm excited for this. Although it is an expense but I think it will be beneficial in the long run. Also I am planning to buy my own car very soon. THen it will be easier to travel everywhere without having to borrow my mother's car.
Soon online study will begin. All my friends have said it's more difficult than face to face learning but let's see how it will go. I'll be studying design. I've just enrolled in my units today. Right now I just want to see where the wind will blow me.
Also, I've been hanging out with my high school friends lately. They are good people. Actually, they came to our house on Ekadasi and I fed them Prasadam. I offered it to Krsna and they were nicely inquisitive and very accepting. One of them even wants to join Harinam. But due to this pandemic, that has been paused. I feel that when I was going to temple and Harinam, I was mroe situated with chanting. Now i'm very slack. PLease give me some mercy. I know you already are always doing so. But please give me the strength to chant and be sincere.
*Update: LAst Friday was the first Harinam. We have been approved by council. It was small and simple. Hopefully a couple more and I'll feel better. The best thing was that one lady came and sat down with us. She bought 2 small books and I spoke to her for a bit. Somehow. I don't know what I was saying haha but let's hope it was inspiring. She said she liked it. I need to REAAD 😬
Thank you a hundred times dear Maharaj. Thank you for reading my messages always. I may ramble on sometimes but you are still listening. I wish you may visit as soon as this is all over.
I wish your health is great. I follow you on twitter and sometimes you may say you have a headache. Please keep well. Otherwise, i love your tweets. they are awesome!!!!
JAII Gauranga
Your servant,
Lakshmi
HpS - Please please read the Kapi Dhvaja. It gives the protocol for getting letters noticved by our bestial mail clerks. Maybe Bhima can be a robot warrior for Rama. Respects to everyone, especially Ata!!!!
