Hare Krishna

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to Sri Gaura Nitai

Please Maharaja, accept my most humble obeisances

Its been a while since i last wrote you,

ASA - Us also!!

but i´ve been keeping track of your wherebouts thanks to Parasurama Prabhu and Bhakta Hector Prabhu, thanks to them that also have helped me so much thru my process.

i hope you are in good health and doing good.

HpS - Like yours!

As for me i´m still in Panama, its been 2 years and a half now and im amazed how fast time is going!

As my mind got trouble and rebelious i took a step back (again) and i feel like everytime im close to start doing things right i bounce back to my worst behaviors. I also feel very tired most of the times , in general, i can call it laziness, and i feel in ignorance, i wasnt following any principles for the last 6 months...i also stopped going to the temple...

HpS - The Evil One got you!!

... but around two weeks ago something [God] shook me out and started chanting again, and back in order to start following principles again.. i dont feel completly guilty, its like an internal battle between i know what i should do and why i dont do it the right way. Im tired of being tired, lazy and mediocre...

why is it easier for certain people and for others is so hard?

HpS - The same reason it will be easy for you in the next lifetime, because whatever progress you do you take with you!

can all this tireness and laziness come from also being supressing a depression?

HpS - Maybe!

thank you Maharaja for the precious time you take to read all this that i put out about my troubled mind.

ASA - Sorry so slow to answer. We are lazy, but also can't answer while traveling. Too many personal consultations! Read the Kapi Dhvaja. www.JayaRama.US!! You are way ahead of many people on the planet! Become better. Become a Doctor.

AGTSP... Paoho.

When we were children our Mother and Father used to both work for the US Goverment. They were middle level employees. We lived in middle class neighborhoods, but it was like 1955 and everything was very simple. The phones had the circle that you rotated,,, click, click, click.... if no one was there, there was no answering machine.

People went to church.

Sometimes we had stomach aches and would lie on the couch and suffer while the television played in the living room and my mother and father and brother and sister would do things and watch.

Now we have a little bit sore throat, eyes, etc.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Washing this body. Getting free from disease is like washing coal. It is only clean with it is completely gone.

Gone back Godhood! Wrestle with Krsna.

Very nice day. Up early for Japa. wrote about six pages of DTC today. Talked with Dr. Samaresh, Harilila Das, Tandavika Das, prepared and presented Hawaii class. Cooked Pease porridge for Lord, had a nap and then went on to the porch for Japa and there were two bags of groceries there!

Split peas

Milk

Parsley, carrots, celery, oats! Some one knew exactly what we are offering. Was it Gaura Nitai!?

Now we have three dozen carots, one and one half gallons of milk etc!!

Mrgari gave away his bow, dinner ticket, and ended up with more that he could eat with his wife! If I become a devotee, what will I eat!

See you in heaven!! (TB: This is heaven!) Oh, we forgot! Thank you.

Thank you, I think Srila Prabhupada depends on you.

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaj,

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada.

ASA - Jaya!

Please accept my humble obeisances.

Thank you for replying to my last message Maharaj. I was scared you had not received it. As soon as I saw the email of your reply, I was very happy. Thank you Maharaj. I really wish your health is in the best condition.

HpS - Material world! This is material world, EVERYONE gets diseases, even just as an example to others.

I'm sorry again, I haven't updated you recently. My last message I believe I mentioned to you that I went to India. I didn't really discuss in detail what I did. Anyway, I went for a month and we first went to Vrndavan for 10 days.

HpS - Did you die? That would have been very fortunate!!

This was my favourite part of the trip. Then we went to Bangalore for a friend's wedding. Actually this is the reason I got a ticket to India in the first place haha. The wedding was nice. And then to Punjab for my cousin's (Surbhi) wedding. My mum came for this one as they were begging our whole family to come. So i met her in Delhi, after Bangalore, and from there we went to Punjab. VERY VERY FANCY. Too fancy, in fact. For me it was too much. But in India, it is still considered barely anything.

If i get married in the future, I want a very simple wedding. Similar to the ones my parents had, just with more family and friends.

HpS - I was there. It was magical. I did the fire sacrifice. The Gurukula boys chanted mantras, Headmaster's wife rushed Acyuta priya Devi Dasi off and they decorated her very nicely. Dr. Samaresh Bandyopadyay was there. Then as we were rushing back to Lucknow from Naimisaranya, your mother asked what day it was and when we told her she started to laugh like a mad girl, and then explained that her sister, your esteemed aunt, had been married on exactly the same day one year earlier!

Anyway, I feel a connection when I'm Vrndavan and I love the environment there. I hope I can go back every year. I really need to get a job here so I can properly save up money. I also need to buy a car over here.

HpS - Maybe Krsna will send you something were you meet people.

Another thing, as you know I'm very confused and indecisive and still am not sure about what I want to do yet. I already finished 1 year of Business and this year began and I just thought I can't continue studying this if I don't enjoy it... I've thought about doing a degree in Creative Industries or Design. Something like this. But also there is the notion that these kind of careers will have no jobs and are not in high demand. Too much confusion. Please bless me to figure this out. So for the time being, it happened that I'm not studying this semester. I was planning to do simple electives and nothing major but the style of teaching at uni doesn't appeal to me. It was too boring. I love to learn. but not the way that is done here... With this quarantine anyway, perhaps it was a good pause. I'm trying to engage myself in as much art at home as I can. I'm painting, sewing, and trying other things. I painted Baladev on a t shirt for one.

HpS - Jaya. Harer nama eva kevalau. Chant for an answer!

Yesterday I saw your interview in Manipur with a lady from Impact TV. It was seriously SO AWESOME. I loved it. The way you speak is so humble and genuine. And I learnt so many things. I'm not sure if I mentioned this before but I've always wanted to make a documentary of devotees. I wanted to interview them and ask how they came to Krsna Consciousness and what inpsired them to join, etc. I think it'd be a gem for future generations. I need to get to this. Too many ideas. Too much laziness.

HpS - Become a Journalist! Learn that!

My chanting hasn't been the best lately Maharaj. At some point I wasn't really chanting properly. I feel guilty but I didn't have enough of a drive to do it. I'm very sorry. Anyway, Sakhi Rai prabhu (you may know him) tries to inspire and engage me so he kind of gave me the idea to be strong. So I'm now just trying to do 4 a day. It's nice. I'm re-building that shakti. My father was best teacher in these things. I miss him in these regards. He always gave me so much spiritual knowledge. I wish I was more inquisitive and interested before. I could've learned so much. I'm happy that you have this forum where I can keep in touch with you. It's perfect. Please bless me to be a better devotee and person Maharaj. And after this Corona Virus is over, I hope you can visit Brisbane soon.

HpS - Ha, Ha, Ha... It will never be over. It will just change its name. Sometimes it is called "Snake Bird", etc. Krsna pushes and Krsna pulls!

We were actually planning to go to Baku in July, for my grandfather's 70'th birthday. But this whole virus has changed the plan of everything. Who would've guessed that 2020 will end up like this. I realised that it's better to just go out and do things. Travel. Everything. Because we never know when there is zero opportunity to do it.

Wow. Ended up to be quite a long message haha. Thank you Maharaj for reading and caring always.

HARE KRISHNA

Yours servant,

Lakshmi

HpS - Respects to Bhima, YOur mother, sister, uncle, aunt!! Chant for what you want. Krsna will answer. Do you want become very, very, very rich?? Beautiful as the Goddesses in heaven???
