Very nice to hear from you. I will definitely look at your bulletin. Getting older and older. Greatest problem I am faced with is to remember krishna as the clock is ticking!!

Even if we forget Krsna, He will remind us, no?
Sri Radha-ananda Das: That depends Maharaj. He reminded Ajamil. But not Bhishma pita mahama. Bhisma a great devotee and a highly intellectual!!
One h
as to realise one self on the devotion and service he is rendering. That’s my understanding. I may be wrong and I hope I am wrong! Thanks for the thoughts to share
With regards
HpS - ASA --- "SB 1.9 Text 30: Thereupon that man who spoke on different subjects with thousands of meanings, and who fought on thousands of battlefields and protected thousands of men, stopped speaking and, being completely freed from all bondage, withdrew his mind from everything else and fixed his wide-open eyes upon the original Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who stood before him, four-handed, dressed in yellow garments that glittered and shined."
I think Srila Prabhupada even amplifies it more in the Purport, that Krsna manifested Bhismadeva's Istadevata form, and stood right in front of him as he was leaving his body.
We try 100% to do our service taking no help from Krsna.
Yet Krsna's foremost quality is not Satya, but Daya, so He tries 100% from His side.
Our effort is to try to remember him, but also, even more primary, to take advantage of His efforts to remind us. Look for His mercy and then be humble and
