Dear Guru Maharaja, AGTSSGN AGTSP PAMHO!!
Hare Krishna! I hope you are well, recovering energy from the very intense days of preaching you had in Mexico.
HpS - AgtSP. Paoho. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta said that unless you like constantly talking with people who want to hear about Krsna only, you won't be happy in the spiritual world.
We have to learn to swim in the waves of Sankirtan!!
I already in the north of Chile back to work and material responsibilities.
This report is very different from others, for several reasons. First, I wanted to thank you for your so pleasant and uplifting company, it has been very important for me to share these last few weeks with you; to Lalita Radha, Saranagati and Laghu Bhagavatamrta for their friendship and all the support they gave me, they really made my stay unforgettable, also to Govinda Pramodini for her way of working and helping to expand the reach of NIOS there, I was able to learn a lot from all of them. Going out to Harinama and distributing books it’s something that I don’t usually do, at least not like these days with you, thank you for this.
I always have conflicts for not going unnoticed, unfortunately to meet certain goals or do what is needed, it is necessary to be noticed. I took many of the things that you emphasized in the classes as direct instructions, a clear example is Confusio and Revenge, I would have to dig several graves to take that path, there were plenty of reasons, too much disrespect at all levels , at one point I felt sick for holding my temper in the face of unfair situations, but at the end of the day I think I gained much more than I lost. Furthermore, taking responsibility for the second initiation should serve me to develop more aspects of my spiritual life and my role in the Iskcon community.
I wanted to apologize, if at any point, I committed an offense or did something that wasn’t to your liking, sometimes it is inevitable to disturb others just with our presence, but it’s something elective at the same time to take this things personally, even if it’s directly our name that is used to hurting others.
I realized everything that can be done with you there, if we were able to carry out the program with martial artists, we would reach another audience that plays an important social role, they aren’t just athletes, it is the Ksatrya segment of the community that seeks to contribute and if we provide spiritual and philosophical reinforcement to these people, surely we can improve the environment. So I await your instructions to present the project and set up meetings to shape it and define dates. If so, I would travel to present with you, I hope this materializes (we have 4 months to prepare something really good), I’ll be in contact with Govinda Pramodini to give it a follow-up, her experience and insurance contacts will help, I have also thought about graphically supporting your NIOS department there, sometimes we aren’t prophets in our own land.
We lived days of very intense service and I can only say that my heart is full of love for you, that you are and will always be an inspiration to me and the most sincere way to relate to Srila Prabhupada through the example of a Vaisnava that you are.
See you soon, if Krishna wants.
Your eternal servant. Parasurama Avatar Das. Santiago - Chile.
HpS - AgtSP. Thanks to your for your maturing and developing service.
Once Sriman Hansadutta Das created a big mess in Germany and suggested to Srila Prabhupada that he should resign from active preaching, but Srila Prabhupada told him, no, that he should go on, that he was like an elephant, he did big, big, work but passed big, big stool, excrement, so please go on with your service but minimize the stool passing business because he, Srila Prabhupada, has to clean it up!
🙂
I guess you can apply the principle.
We cannot do much to organize programs or plans now. We need to get back to our Base Camp in Nashville for some time and see how the basic situation is, but don't let that stop you developing your Sankirtan.
Let us stay in touch in a heart to heart communication.
Guess the basic instruction is the same for all of us. We were hearing it in the SB class this morning: Interaction between men and women is the most fundamental skill we have to develop.
Of course as Dvija, twice born, there is the art of living in strict social relation in this area.
It is a challenge for us. We are learning how to control the subtle social relations more and more each dya.
