Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj,
Please accept our most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
What an amazing opportunity to even be able to write on this Blog!!
HpS/ASA - https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/4/4/12/ I think you are like Lord Siva.
It is 6:18 and we need to chant more. We never regret being able to join such a wonderful and sincere group of Japa Joe 4 am chanters. On average we join and thereafter join the LA Temple mangal Arati at 5:30 at least 4-5 times a week. The other two days we just get ready, chant, and sing our mangal arati prayers. Rounds chanted after 8:30 (if over 10) are so mechanical and distracted so we are trying to avoid that. We pray that you, Guru Maharaj-Srila Prabhupada-Krsna will accept our small morsel of sincerity (even from this morsel there is a minuscule amount that is unmotivated) and allow us to continue. Or we literally feel like most of this life is truly wasted!!!
HpS/ASA - Monkey, Piggy, Uncle Gismo and the Anjana Suta Academy, Supreme, Undifferentiated, Absolute, Commando have met and decided that you deserve the "Distinguished Survivor Mama" award. You may not be perfect Prabhu, but you ain't dead yet and your shooting back at The Witch. Thank you! O.K. Now onto the next award "Victory Mama". How is The Murari Das et al?
Next steps are: we are going on with our Canto 2 Sunday school study (now Chapter 8 and 9) but we need to do this a little more frequently since it happens a few days a week at most. We also are studying the intro to the Bhagavad Gita with our ladies group. It’s become more of a lecture or class by one person the last two months. The TPP starts chapter 1 so this should help us delve in more deeply. Thankyou !!!
HpS/ASA - The Intro seems impossible to follow in any logical development. We always want to get behind the flow and see why Srila Prabhupada is writing one thing after another. It made Hari sauri Das a devotee!
Also...we notice our consciousness waking up to just wanting things more organized and clean. This may sound weird, but it’s been a focus/meditation for us (The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kundo).
ASA - Thank you!!!
We work for a private primary medical practice now as the sole counselor. So much to read, orient ourselves with the diverse clientele and some clients that are 15-20 years older than us. 13-17 hours a week seems about what we can manage along with all the tasks That come with taking care/homeschooling the kids. We do some devotee care/coordination work for weekly seva but this seems to not be too cumbersome and increases during festivals.
This is our update. We also have some news and humbly request it can be kept confidential
HpS - O.K. but as Sannyasis and B'caris we have to consider these things in the association of a competent Grhasta, so we will share it with CCD/Subra.
With great respect and reverence Guru Maharaj for tolerating us! So many waves 🌊 to ride. We will become professional surfers 🏄🏻♀️ 🏄 under your guidance. HK HK KK HH!!! HR HR RR HH.
Your servant,
Kamagayatri Dasi
HpS - ASA === O.K. We prepare for Hawaii Class.
