Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
For a longer time already, i find myself in a situation that utterly frustrates me. When i am well situated in sadhana bhakti i walk around like a proud person, easily falling pray to being proud about "my" strength and so-called moral superiority over other people, and when i falter and struggle i feel despondent, overwhelmed by the madness of the world and my perilous material situation. I am in some kind of no mans land, and i feel stuck here. What can i do about this situation? Or is the idea that there is something i can do perhaps a wrong attitude here?
Your aspiring servant,
Raghava pandita dasa
HpS - AgtSP. Paoho. So nice to hear from you. I really don't know enough to give you any specific advice and even whatever advice I can give is also coming from someone who is at best only a little bit more sane than you are. What I do: Srila Prabhupada is always there if we want to listen to good advice. As long as we are chanting Holy Names we are making progress. So chant as much as possible. Get good association they can give you advice. O. K.?
Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva AGTSP PAMHO
I hope U are fine.
Gurudeva I am living the most intense time in my life. Reevaluating so many things
I work many hours Mondays are very intense I work all day. So on Tuesdays I do not join FMP. I am mostly attending my mother and working. she will leave her body soon I can feel that, we are praying together is the best I guess I can do for her. I do not go to the temple. FMP is my sanga I listen to your classes on internet and I also watch this Franciscan priest on YouTube He helps me with my utsahan. I like his preaching
I am kind of disappointed with the things happen in all temples and churches but I try to keep good association. Thanks for your concern. I saw your respond to Patrakji. Actually when I was very depressed I went to see his mom. She helped me a lot
Thanks again Gurudeva U are our inspiration and shelter.
Trying to be your disciple

ASA - Fire is hot. Sugar is sweet. We, your sister, cat, students, are all servants of Krsna. Even if we can only breath we can chant. That pleases Krsna so much. All the people you meet students, mom, are sent to you by Krsna. You are their Guru
Hare krishna Gurudev, tlgaSP, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

UND writes: Dandavats. Polite reminder. Has anyone been in touch with HH Hanumat Presaka Maharaja recently? I am concerned if everything is okay as I have never experienced such long gaps in response from Maharaja ever.

============================================== . .
Tom Brown/Buck White: Aaaaaah! We have been fighting The Evil One in the Swamps. On the hills. In the fire. Every day. Every day we try to get to the Viplavah and fail. We are in Boise now. We have been posting regularly at squeals at our Blog. After Houston we hit the Jung congress in Santa Barbara. This was INCREDIBLE. Thirty-five presentations in many cases by double doctorates who have published like 8-books with presses like Yale University and have had their art displayed at the Metropolitan museum of art in New York. Had to get a rental car and drive at 70-years old daily through the rain, wind etc and find the hall. UCSB spent maybe $200,000 to bring Jung's original art from Switzerland. Our contacts were there etc. etc. Aaaah. This is also the end of our 10-week tour. Today got 16-rounds done by 7AM but have 8-more to finish which we have been carrying for three daze now. Then we had meeting during breakfast with one disciple couple, then a three hour, intense emotional, valid meeting with the administration about Sastric studies here and in the world. Then a super 7-course lunch which we as travelers had to pick our way through with great care so as not to over eat while another disciple dialog went on between mouthfuls in Spanish and English. All very productive, but we are just struggle with Viplavah (Sadhana, (Latin American GBC (MOE North American Sastric Studies (University Lectures))). Aaaaah. 🙂 Your letter is like a hello from a boat to a drowning man. Our letter here has taken about 15-minutes and now in 30-minutes we go for evening program and a lecture on "NOI - Delivering Rama's Ring". Any advice? We will still push the Viplavah. How are things at your end of the fight???
AGTSP. Paoho.
It is 6.07PM. At 6.15PM we have to get ready for the FEP. Fool Evening Program.
We had two hours of Latin American Regional GBC administrative meetings and then two hours of Hawaii SB class and preparation. Suniti gives good Niti, advice, to Dhruva. Is she Kanishta adhikari??
Then lunch with peas-porridge soup, powdered milk burfi, pumpkin soup, potatoes pops, plum chutney, misti dahi, another bengal sweet, Bala-bhadras farmers-bread and came back to our ashrama with Apple-Strawberry Juice. It was all nice. Was able to get through it pretty well.
Nap. World classical literature. Correspondences.
Now arati, talk with Natha, home program with 600-devotees at Srinivasa Das ashrama Acrosss the street.
In general, still packed programs.
Low energy - from end of trip.
Health for 70 year old ass is 90%.
Barely maintaining Bh. Sarva bhauma standard.
Barely keeping all our NIOS and MOE and ASA programs afloat.
Hare Krsna. Same for you?
1 - Japa
2- 4-regs
3- FMP
4 - Sankirtan (Distributed two full sets, 50+ Gitas and SSR this last week).
Sugopi radha Devi Dasi Ki Jai! (Jung program at the Univeristy brough Jung followers from all over the region, professors, students, cngregation members). Was intense.
Ananta rupa Das, Niti-sara Das and (good wife). Balabhadra (and very good wife). Srinivasa ach (and very very good wife) and ... Upendra Das (and very, very, very, very good wife and daughter (radhika (becoming a pharmacist)).
We try to be servants. A sublime service in any situation for any community or people is to always chant HK/HR.
6.17 :>>>> FEP!
Thank you.
