Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope this letter finds you in good health.

I made the experiment to chant a fixed number of rounds. Also, I read some literature about its benefits, but to be honest, I feel that something is missing. I know that for a guaranteed progress, there must be a 'combo': mangala aratik, kirtan, SB, prasadam... May be those are the missing aspects 🤔

Due to my studies at university, I've acquired critical and analytical thinking, so for me it's hard to follow something without arguments or recognizing its multiple perspectives. Last year was a shock in the spiritual dimension. Now, for this 2021, I'd like to continue digging into my being, recognizing how I'm going to follow the spiritual path and, the most important thing, building a solid base.

At university, I took a theology course. It was astonishing that most of my partners were in the same position as me. In the first class, the teacher asked: 'Why do young people approach religion and why do they distance from it?' The main idea was that young people are seeking for a sense to their lives and the answer for their existential questions. Whereas, they distance from religion when there are so many ritualisms without basis or ideas out of context. The theology course was a great experience: we learnt about the spiritual dimension of the human being and how Lord Jesus teachings can be applied in these times.

That's all for now. Thanks a lot for reading this letter. Thanks a lot for your mercy and inspiration.

HpS - I had to leave my materialistic family and community associations. I was living in the B'cari ashrama which is like living in homeless center in some ways. So many stressful things. I was wandering the streets in San Francisco, askin, analytically... is this KC real. Then I read a page etc, from Srila Prabhupada's book, and the answer was clear. Every time I make this experiment it is real

Yes.

There is clear definite content in these books.

Maybe I am too weak to follow. Maybe I can follow by the 'skin of my teeth', but this is the best knowledge I have found in anywhere.

So, that is why I am here.

Gita says that even the sincere desire to be a good person is glorious. Don't turn into:
