<pre data-fulltext="" data-placeholder="Traducción" dir="ltr" id="tw-target-text">
All glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitay
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my obeisances
I am Ma. Soledad de Chile again.
Maharaja how is your health?
HpS - ASA - Our health is fine, but this vehicle, donkey, is about 70-years old so everything is dimishing. So much good health due to Srila Prabhupada's association!
How are your travels?
HpS - ASA --- Now we are in the planning stage for Boise, San Francisco, South America, India... If we don't do lot of work it is a waste of time.
We wish to have your association soon, since we knew the date that comes to Chile we are counting the days!
ASA - We are waiting for more news from Jagat-guru Das, Rodrigo.... about the Calendar! Help them if you can..
I want to tell you that with Abhimanyu we have a date for our marriage, and it's almost ready for the big day.
HpS - When is it?
On the other hand, I humbly want to ask for your instruction in front of some issues that have placed me in anxiety. First, I need your instruction with regard to Sadhana. I work five days a week, eight hours a day, my companions are not believers in anything that has to do with spiritual life, nor are they vegetarians, the topics of conversation most of the day are negative about other people I do not know and rumors. They are kind, helpful people, good companions, when I talk about Krsna consciousness they listen to me, ask me questions, but they see it very far from their reality, as if they were incapable of following this spiritual practice. Somehow I think I do Sankirtana, and I try despite everything to talk about Krsna if no one bothers you.</pre>

That is my daily context Maharaja, in the morning we wake up the Deities next to Abhimanyu, every morning, but we are weak with the singing of our rounds. Maharaja, what can I do to regain my energy and motivation?
I happen to feel alone in Krsna consciousness, although Abhimanyu is my partner, I do not feel accompanied by the devotees, I do not feel that there is a worried authority of those who move away from the temple or those who may conflict with their spiritual life. My only guide is Prabhupada and the spiritual masters. There are a couple of devotees who have been with me when there have been difficult situations, they are very loving, but I do not see that from any present authority. It is difficult to be in Maya, difficult and painful, it is also when I know the way and it is so difficult. That is why I need your instruction Maharaja What can I do to strengthen my spiritual life? What do you recomend?
In my work as a strategy put a few reminders on my desk that say: "not control" "not criticize" "be tolerant" "not offend" and every time something does not seem right I read and practice. When I do not have the papers, I try it the same way. It has given me positive results. At night I am reading the biography of Prabhupada, when I do I feel inspired and everything makes sense.
Maharaja you are a great inspiration for me, I hope that during your stay in Chile I can serve you in some way, I thank you for all you have done for the devotees, for Srla Prabhupada. It is a great mercy to have this contact with you, your words have helped me a lot.
My Maharaja obeisances, I hope everything is going well in your travels, with your health, with your permanent service.
I say goodbye affectionately from Chile, Ma. Soledad</pre>
HpS - ASA -- The authorities who are "supposed" to be looking after the devotees feel that no one is looking after them in many cases! As you look afte your Students, like at work, they are looking after you. Keep reaching out to people in your community. Go to Temple programs.
Keep writing to this Blog!
Make a partnership with others chant your rounds. We hace our Full Morning Program on line every day and that is a central part of how I get up and get my rounds done.
At work you can preach Pantheism. In BG chapter 10, SB 2.2 this is presented as the first step in God realization: The Light of the Sun, The Ocean, Sharks, Ability in man. So many things you can present about that. The more you know the art the more you can show it to anybody.
Send report! Your problem is 99.99% common. Others will benefit from your victories.
