¡All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
¡All glories to You!
I hope that the mantle of love and sweetness
of our mother Srimati Radharani always covers you.
Thank you so much for your mercy ! How are you Gurumaharaja?
Devotional service: We have the opportunity to have good association, to be able to do service in different ways, at home, on weekends in Wilson as pujaris with Gandharva, Nitya Kishori and Bhaktin Rukmini . We are also trying to cooperate with the pujari leaders, facilitating coordination and communication with all the other pujaris via whatsapp (I discovered that Wilson's temple has 23 pujaris!) We had a first meeting in November (13 attended) 2 maha cleanups were done (the second one led by prabhu Raghunat was perfect!) It was very nice and we were all very enthusiastic n_n.
Votes: 4 Principles ok. I'm struggling with my mind to chant 16 rounds a day early, before doing something else, in other way it's harder.
Answers of previous letter and plans with Gandharva: In a previous letter you asked me what kind of crafts we thought we would do, so, at the first moment we had planned to make "retablos" to begin with. I did not answer you before because there were many changes. Gandharva and I get along well, but in services that involve plans, joint coordination, administration, things get complicated. When Prabhu Daru Krishna saw my astrological chart, he said that on an occupational level, both Gandharva and I should do things independently, because it is very badly aspected. We love each other and we are frustrated that we do not understand each other at that level, but for the sake of having a life with fewer arguments, we are willing to lean on what each one can do. Is that right, Gurudeva?
HpS - I don't know the details and if Krsna wishes He can do anything He wants with our Karma, but there are devotees in ISKCON who I love and respect quite well but we have completely different administrative styles, so we have to work at a distance and not get involved in details just as you are saying.
Job-occupation-sankirtan: You also asked me if I was working, and well, I've been doing freelance work in graphic design, but nothing steady. However, work is something I want to do, I do not feel comfortable with the fact that Gandharva is the only one who works. I feel that I can contribute economically, Is that right Gurudeva?
HpS - Doesn't sound bad. Try to help him from a little distance. Keeping house and spending time with your families and friends is not at all a waste of time for a lady. Sankirtan!
On the other hand, I would like to be able to start developing an educational project for children, Gandharva supports me, he asks me to make a research. I'm interested on Montessori pedagogy. The astrologer told that educational activities are well aspected. What do you think about this Gurudeva?
HpS - Talk with The Patraka Das, no?
Preach: We are happy because our dear friend Carla (student of Gandharva and owner of the apartment that we rent) wants to become a devotee, we read every thursday The Teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu with explanations given by Gandharva. It's vegetarian already for one year. Yesterday, during the kirtan to our deities, she asked Sri Jagannatha to help her to be what He expects from her. It was very heart touching see her with tears in her eyes, see a devotee get closer to Krishna is amazing!! n_n.
HpS - ASA -- !!! Krsna is the preacher, no? We are trying to be little servants in His endeavor!!
I thank you infinitely for your valuable time and for your guidance
May Sri Nrisimhadeva always protect you
Please excuse me for my offenses
your eternal servant
Indira-Sakti Devi dasi
HpS -Hare Krsna!! Come with us to the next letter. Of course, it will be the 'last' letter when we post them.
