All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

wanted to write to him in English with the google translator, so as not to cause him much work with Spanish, I understand some words in English when reading, and I can start learning English, so I hope that my letter will arrive as it should be;

Hare Krsna dear Gurudev, please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances, now I understand better the things about my previous letter, understanding that;

 "The instructions of the Guru and the Guru himself make no difference"

The answer he told me; "Krishna left the Brajavasis so that they could have a MORE intimate association with him!"

I was reflecting, reading and meditating on this topic, reading the krsna book, caitanya caritamrta adi lila chap.1 "The spiritual masters" and quotes from Prabhupada and I can deduce that; "The separate love of the Brajavasis and Radha is more intense than when Krsna was with them physically." So the same thing happens with the Guru-disciple, when the spiritual master is no longer physically and I see in the current clear example that Srila prabhupada's disciples love Prabhupada more than he has left physically and they do much more service for him, and I think that we should all understand this and follow these steps naturally, but not imitate it. So the attitude of a disciple when his guru is not, has to have a more intimate relationship with HIM.

On the other hand I have some questions about sannyasa, I am very curious and it is not personal:

1 ° Is it necessary for a devoted sannyasa candidate to have a technical or university professional career?

HpS - No.... They are very different things.

2 ° If the devout candidate for sannyasa is married, does the wife have to agree that her husband take sannyasa or is the Guru's decision more important?

HpS - If Guru is bona fide, the he is representing Krsna and his instruction is perfect. If the wife is correct she will follow Guru. If she is 50% in Maya, then husband has to adjust help her indirectly, eg. take Sannyasa and make special arrangement for her material welfare with sons, nephews etc.

3 ° Can the devotee request sannyasa from his spiritual Master or does he have to wait for his spiritual Master to give him the sannyasi order?

HpS - Can request.

4 ° What are the requirements to aspire to take sannyasa?

HpS - Realization that it will help me improve my service to Krsna!

Thank you very much dear Guru Maharaj, and sorry for being very curious about these issues.

Atte.
