Hare Krishna Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Switzerland is a crazy country when you look at the atheistic and materialistic peoples lifestyle.

i recently had some experiences with some old friends and family members. i realized that it's not the same with our relationship like before.

But i still want to stay in touch with my old friends. And when i have the opportunity, i try to cook prasadam for them.

HpS - Yes!!! If someone is nice that means that they have some KC, even if it is not so direct.

I read in the Upadeśāmṛta in verse-2. It mentions:

   A person's devotional service becomes spoiled if he becomes too much involved in the following six activities one of them....--> associating with worldly-minded persons who are not interested in Kṛṣṇa consciousness

But I know it is very difficult to avoid this, especially when working and living with materialistic people together, because there are for the moment not other options.

HpS - Krsna understands that and will give you extra help. Also, He will move you into a better community.

As much as possible give them Radha's association rather than taking Maya's association from them.

I try to visit the devotees as often as possible in the temple, for have a good asociación.

HpS - Super!!!

Expect rapid progress!
