Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I want to answer the questions he asked me in the previous letter: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/14142/

HpS - Have to go to bed early?

There are days that I arrive home at 9:30 p.m., for study reasons at the institute. And 5 days a week I study the scriptures with a group of devotees from 20:00 to 22:00. Sometimes even a few minutes later. It is the most stable time of Vaisnava association that I have.

I generally go to sleep at 10 or 10:30 p.m., sometimes at 9:30 p.m. and other times at 11:00 p.m.

What I have verified is that my body needs 8 hours of sleep to not need a nap.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Thank you for your news! You should pray to Krsna to make arrangements so you can get to bed more early, no? Then you have Sadhana time during Brahma muhurta?

HpS - There must be some personal motivation within the spiritual motivation eg. desire to become famous as a religious preacher. Is that true?

Of course I do, I realize my shortcomings, I am a devotee full of anarthas, above all I am very attached to recognition, fame, power, etc. But by his mercy, Prabhupada's and Krishna's, that is gradually diminishing.

ASA - 👍 

👍. . . .👍 . . .



There is an increasing desire to serve you and Srila Prabhupada in the sankirtan movement, distributing the books and the holy name, depending on the situation of the person I am addressing.

I wish I had more tools to be able to preach and understand how to get the message across more effectively.

HpS - Who are your Sankirtan partners? If you rely too much on your own management it can be dangerous, no?

You are right, I will consider it more emphatically now, in what practical way could it be carried out? Asking for advice, showing ideas and content to share?

ASA - Yes! Yes! Yes! Taking advantage of the people Krsna sends as Sankirtan partners.

I am very prone to make mistakes and therefore I need the help of other souls, that is clear to me, but the good thing is that I feel the enthusiasm of wanting to share Krishna consciousness, that motivates me.

I want to tell you that my state of health has already stabilized and is even better than when I began to be a devotee, since now I receive the appropriate medicine for my situation, and well, I have clearly matured in various aspects, including the emotional one.

I don't want to make the same mistake again.

HpS - UP ... down... UP .... down. It's natural, isn't it? Learning how to deal with the body. Otherwise it can drive ANY of us to madness.

This world is mad!

Gurudeva, what do you mean by this quote?

HpS - Hmmm! I don't remember?

Curiously, a week after he sent me this letter, we began to study this chapter in the study group.

In different instances (three times hereby) you have appointed me Maharaja Pariksit. What should I learn from him

or from this pastime?

HpS - Same as above! If it's important Krsna will bring it to our attention again, no?

your servant

piyari mohan das

HpS - Hoping you get free from the reactions of your previous offenses more and more and more profoundly.

We have them from previous lives, no?

Eg. In next life Duryodhana will take birth as a princess and be subjected to the same humiliation as Draupadi?
