Hare Krishna, Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP PAMHO 📿

Happy Gopastami.

HpS/ASA - A g t SP!!

Gurudeva 🙌 while I was meditating using my gems. One thought came to me.

ASA - Hmmm?

Is it fair to blame one Spiritual Master for our flaws? I mean many many times I was addressed with the following statement: " You are a disciple of so and so.. Then you should behave properly. Otherwise people are going to say. Look she is disciple of ...... Look what she or he is doing.

So my question what amount of guilty [guilt] the Espiritual Master has in relation of the comportment of their disciples? It is kind of unfair to blame our Gurus for our own stupidity.

HpS/ASA - It seems to be a very particular thing. What is the influence of the spiritual master in the comportment of the disciple? At one time we were acting as Diksa guru for one disciple and she was taking shelter of H. H. Bhakti-bhusana Swami as Siksa guru because her service was focused on street book distribution. Then he told us she felt ashamed to tell us that she was not chanting all her rounds during the Christmas marathon. So, she asked him to talk to us. Maybe like the daughter asking the Uncle to talk to the Father.

So, we gave our advice to give to her.

So, she has some responsibility. We have some. Maharaja has some.

The demons have accept Sukra-acharya as their spiritual master. He gives them advice for asdvancing in material comfort. They want that. He is inclined to give it. Who is to blame?? Yet, one of them, Bali-maharaja very politely rejects the instructions of his SM to serve Visnu. Particular, no? Bogus disciple, bogus guru... bogus results. 🙂 AGTSP!!!

This year has been weird for all of us. Nevertheless, I had the opportunity to develop my cooking side for instance.

HpS - Pizza? Pasta? For..... Radha-Krsna! Jagannatha.

By the mercy of Sarvani dasi Krsna Balaram is in our home. We made a Barbecue to welcome Them. Krsna is really generous with us in all aspects.

ASA - Is He really merciful to you? To us? 🐵 https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/8/25/ 😎

Thanks for everything Gurudeva 🙌

Hope to see you pretty soon. Meanwhile see you in FMP.

ASA - When people volunteer to chant Japa for the supreme Lord, we tend to ask those who do not lead Mangala Arati regularly, so they get a chance also!

So, nice to hear from you! Don't be shy if Krsna wants you do some big service for him.

Your eternal servant,
