All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Jay Sri Vrindavan Dham !
Dear gurudeva, accept all my pranams at your lotus feets.
A little delayed my letter, but following his last words.
Here we are, doing service in the temple, same programs, 12 hours kirtan with more donations(the last donation was a big pennon with 12 hours kirtan logo), cooking sunday fest, cocking and worshiping to Sri Goura Nitay, chanting and following 4 regulations, doing music lessons and recording a new cd.
I have some questions guruji, i need your wise word :
-Can i play some Ragas when the deities are taking rest? perhaps in slepping time ?
HpS - AGTSP paoho. As far as I know it is fine. I heard that Srila Prabhupada wanted shanai and tabla in the towers at the front gates to Mayapura.
-Im recording some vedic mantras in the new cd, for example "vedic samaveda", in the last part are chanting gayatri mantra, the first line, can do this ?
HpS - As far as I know, no. The Gayatri is for personal Japa only??!
-I want to go again to India, but in this time i want study "Carnatic music"in Kerala(god hears me), but i dont know what i must to do? Stay in Chile is good, i have music student and a job (humble teacher),temple near, service etc.Maybe the family ashrama still is not for me, i have many artistic anarthas and i cant left the music.Im confused
As you see here I am still the same drowned, but with hope.
I wanted very much to go to Bs Aires but i must to work, dear Gurudeva would be great to see you soon.
Forgive my simple questions.
Im completely at your service.

HpS - Ooof! Wish we could see you more often and give some advice. Yet I think if you just keep on with the Sadhana Krsna will make your choies obvious. That is what I have done and it has worked for me. Don't leave, don't deviate. Krsna will make your plan obvius.
Album cover looks nice. Radha and Krsna seem to have suficient clothes.
