Hare Krishna Gurudeva, I hope that these words find you in good health. My name is Ignacio González and I`m from Valparaiso, Chile.
ASA - Jaya! Bh. Ignacio. Muy bueno leer de Vd.
I write to you to report about my daily activities. I have been chanting 16 rounds every day for maybe 2 or 3 years, lousy but getting better., Since I read about Jayananda Thakura and his Japa, I`m trying to get focus in the sound of every word.
I have been following the 4 principles for one and a half months. It has been hard but easier than in other occasions. I`m also trying to understand that it´s only because of Krishna and you, and that is not my merit, so I don´t get proud about it.
From april, 15th we have been making programs for the devotees in our apartment, it is small but significant.
Trying to serve you
Ignacio
ASA - Very nice. Chanting Hare Krsna but not following four principles strictly is like trying to build a fire but not sheltering it from the rain. Ooof! Yet follow them is different challenge for each of us. For one person 1,2,4 are easy, but 3 is difficult. For another 1,3,4 but 2 is dificult. Judge your progress against your own advancement, how you are using your intelligence to solve the problem, step by step!
