Hare Krsna Gurudeva
Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
I hope that you are in good health, and that your sankirtan is more and more successful. Indira Sakti dd and I are fine, we were in Mexico for two weeks. I went to present my thesis support exam and gave a small lecture at UNAM (University of Mexico) on archives, a subject in which I have become very interested in recent years. Both events went very well, I think my career is favored by the contacts I was able to make with local professors and researchers. We visited the temple and received the sweet gaze of Radha Madana Gopal.
I tell you that two months ago I resigned from the position of regional representative of the Ministry of Education. I was doing that service for five years and I began to feel an overload of work due to labor issues. During the time I was in charge of the service, some things were achieved in favor of education, but I do not consider myself an administrator. It's a job I know due to the long time I've taught at the university, but it doesn't fit my nature, so ideas started to run out. I'm sure someone will come to do it much better than me.
On the other hand, now I am in charge of the position of research professor at the university where I work, I am happy because it has opened up a huge panorama for me. You know that I am still very attached to academic life. I would have liked to contribute more as a teacher in ISKCON (much more than as an administrator) but I have not had many opportunities, they will come.
I'm still studying Bhakti Vaibhava, I'm doing well, I've always been a disciplined student, plus the space allows us to develop a critical sense from what we read and discuss and in particular, I love reading, so vocations are combined in a natural and fluid way.
We continue to live in the mountains, I carry out my saddhana sometimes with more effort than on other occasions but we have found a very simple and intimate version of deity worship that has brought us many small satisfactions and gives us clearness. The japa is maintained robust, as well as the association with very few but good, like-minded and sincere devotees. Jagannatha has been extremely kind to us.
We send you our best wishes for your preaching, with love, sincerely
Your servant
