Hare Krishna,
PAMHO AGTSP!
I am still doing music but not traveling so much. Been focusing on piano mainly. I am finally starting to see how the bar atmosphere is not conducive to spiritual life. So I try and get in and out of there as fast as I can.
I failed to mention in my update that I have been attending Mangal Aarti at the boise temple twice a week. And every morning on the way to work at 6am, I (and Aja every other week) listen to the Mangal Aarti prays sung by HG Swarupa Damodar Das and Prabupadas version as well. I am trying to commit the prayers to memory and also understand the meaning of the words.

Lately I’ve been very inspired by Prabhupada’s Lilamrta.
I’ve started a new job at Micron as an industrial carpenter. It’s the first steady job that I’ve had in a long time and I am learning to appreciate the strict schedule. The consistency is proving to be helpful in many ways but it all depends on how early I get up and if I chant at least eight rounds before I go to work. What helps tremendously is if I take simple and light prasadam early in the evening. This makes all the difference. You told me this once and I’ve known it to be true but now I am really putting it to the test.
I recently purchased a copy of the Srimad Bagavatam First canto. A friend has been sending verses and purports and we have been discussing via text. But this is not frequent enough so I need to read more on my own.
Thank you Maharaj for your responses. I will keep you updated more frequently.
Hare Krishna, Hari Bol!
