Hare Krsna Maharaj,

PAMHO, AGTSP

I thank you for being there on this mortal Earth. For us you are living Sannyasi, When we are in doubt we remember your story of going to Mexico to preach when your Credit card defaulted at Airport [Peru].. God exists, especially when your are working on his behalf.

report:

this fortnight was fine: 16 rounds went mechanically well. life is not now dog hard, but financially little less than previous.

HpS - Nehabi kramo naso sti... About BG 2.36. Whatever progress we make in devotional service is eternal. Inch by inch it is always a cinch!!

We can only live by reminding oursevles that whatever happens , Krsan has sanctioned it. so accept it.

HpS - Yet, He sanctions our coming to the material world because we are insistent! So, we have to sincerely look at our little free will. Nothing super human, just see that we are trying to improve our selves in a practical way, and then we can understand that we are coming under the control of Krsna through Radha and not Durga, headed toward Diksa...

Que 1:

It seems we feel most sane, when we read Srila Prabhuapda books understand them repeat them re -read, spending minutes one purport etc.

dont think any other ISKCON service can replace it.

even in classes : we spurt out purports or realization.. i think this preaching is okay for us.

HpS - Yes! Try to harmonize with the general Sadhana that Srila Prabhupada gave eg. Kirtan and Song during Brahma muhurta, Early Japa, SB.... Evening program... 16-rounds on beads, but don't let these destroy your personal realtionship with him, his books, KRSNA!!

que 2:

BG 8.9 asks us to meditate on SPOG as oldest, omniscient, smallest, maintainer. I dont know about other verses of scripture which suggests about meditation..

but whats your opinion and recommendation, this meditation ?

HpS- This is like Shanta rasa. It is like surrending, meditating, giving up other thought, to Krsna's lotus feet. Even the Gopis, when they start to think about Krsna, begin with His lotus feet. Shanta rasa, KRSNA is the oldest amongst us... is the foundation of your Bhakti building. You don't remove the foundation when you add the second, third.. floors. The higher you go the deeper your Shanta rasa ie. God is great, must be.

life seems okay. just does not need to be lazy.

hari bol

harsh trying to be tolerant

HpS - Always be enthusiastic, smile, then tolerance enters as a part of trying to accomplish some wonderful goal!
