Dear Maharaja

This is Raul from Montreal-Canada.  Former translator to your live lectures in Lima.  Grateful to have had a chance to associate with a pure servant of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Caitanya.  I'm so fallen but the Lords mercy has been so boundless and persistent that I have been saved from pure tamas and rajas and have been pushed towards sattva-guna.  I do not take the Lord's mercy  for granted and have make it a life purpose to keep sattva constant and steady.  How much mercy !   Temple, devotees, books, prasadam, japa,  the Kapi dhvaja, jayarama, etc    Small steps from a fallen nobody like me but hopefully I'll be saved from falling further and have an auspicious birth next live.   How much mercy.  Lord how much mercy. 

I live close to the national library and lo!  they have the complete edition of Srimad Bhagavatam, eleven Cantos,  I've read Seventh Canto, chapters 11-15 and All Canto 11,  Somehow I was atracted to both.  The former due to a book from Bhakti-raghava  Swami, whom I met back in '95,  "Creer de Villages comme Vrndanana"  (french translation of Make Vrndavana Villages), and the latter 11th Canto  just out of curiosity I guess but !!!   so much in both that I believe I'll spend this life just fully understanding all the dept and holy purpose of both.    I read your comment on the Guru-tattva section last kapi-dhvaja and somehow made a connection to the varnasrama system on 7th Canto.  It's all there and Srila Pabhupa's purports.  The secret I guess is how we apply this pure system of the Lord to praxis.  The varnas and asramas, have two main "movements"  as I understood.  1-as they are stated in Srimad Bhagavatam which will require generations of pure devotees and probably many twice born under Vedic especifications.   and   2-in times of emergency.   And as stated by SP himself America was in a state of emergency and thus the varnas and asramas had to be fulfilled in a very dynamic and open way.   We come back to the boundless mercy of the Lord once more.  Many have been saved.  My question would be then, are back to "movement" one?  Is there a Third movement?    Please excuse my mumblings  and nonsense,  I'm still a silly donkey with a big mouth.  But at least  I can put it to work on bhakti and be corrected by your holy bamboo stick.  

dandavats to your mercy and service to Lord Caitanya and his most cherished pure devotee Srila Prabhupada. 

the most fallen and silly of creatures

Raul.

 HpS - ASA -- Jaya!  AgtSP   You are Raul who first translated when we visited Peru????   Wow.   Yes, (ha ha ha) we can understand most of your letter except for the question???  "Are we back to movement one?"    Do you mean do we have people who are born in the mode of goodness in this movment?   If that is the question, I would say yes.   Babies of Western devotees following well and babies of Indian devotees who naturally have been following.
