Dear Hanumat Preshak Swami Maharaja
Please accept my obeisances to you
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
My name is Wang Pan and I am born in China. As our Chinese names are difficult to pronounce and remember by foreign devotees, devotees gave me name Rukmini. Last year,I moved to Ashram in Dali,Yun Nan Province, southwest of China. I was engaged in various temple services but mostly menial service. I am residing in Ashram now for more than a year and got a whole load of services to do that ultimately gave me pleasure. With reading Srila Prabhupada's books daily and attending Bhagavad-Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam'classes regularly,I started chanting and being into Krsna Consciousness. I get up at early morning finishing chanting 16rounds daily. I have been an vegetarian for over 6 years. I don't use any illicit drug. And I get married to a devotee who is from Europe and he has been a devotee for over 20 years.He came to China in early 2012 and is residing here from then serving the China mission. He is first devote I met and he was my guide from beginning. He/We are planing to serve mission in China. Maharaja,I have known you because my husband is keeping watching your classes online and he talks about you with me. Then we started to watch your classes together. And I become dropping into your personal charisma and your simple lifestyle. There are two Diksa gurus in China who don't come to the area we live. And there are so many differences between you and them. I dont know how to say it, with all respect, but I remain indifferent while hearing their classes. Maharaja,you are so inspiring to me. If I could take shelter at your lotus feet,that would be a big mercy for me in Krsna Consciousness. And I hope I could get the chance to serve you, the guru from my heart. My husband told me to try to keep it simple and straight forward to not take too much of your time and at the same time try to be clear. I don't know if I succeeded in that.
Aspiring to be your servant
Bhaktin Rukmini
HpS-ASA -- Madam Wang Pan, thank you for your letter.
I was born in Guam and I think I was Chinese monk in my last life.
I love China.
Of course China also has bad things but I love the color, Tang Dynasty poetry and Sun Wu Kong and Wu Bhaje.
We have to make them ISKCON devotees!
Please offer my respects to your esteemed husband.
What is his name and history in Krsna Consciousness?
Are your parents related to Krsna consciousness at all?
Are they still on earth?
I think that people are regaining interest in ideas and practices of Confuscius, no?
Please read this document. It gives our idea of initiation. We don't have lotus feet. We try to be a proper connection to Srila Prabhupada for people:
