Hare Krishna Gurudeva
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Tarangaksi dd, my sister Devahuti and I have been listening and reading news about your health, which has led us to many reflections.
Life is too short and we must make the most of it to become more Krishna conscious every day. What is our place in ISKCON? How can we best serve you and Srila Prabhupada?
Since we left Vrindavan 2 months ago, I entered an existential crisis like I had never experienced. I know that I'm a spirit soul, servant of the servant... of Krishna. But each soul is individual and has a nature. So which is my path, what should I do next?
When I was in India my sadhana was stable, 16 rounds, 4 principles, offering incense and flowers to Prahlada-Nrisimha daily. Since I went into crisis, my sadhana began to falter, too.
Suddenly one day, a devotee from Peru wrote to me and asked me to organize an English Conversation Club for devotees. I thought, "Why not? Let's make a post and see how many join." To my surprise, several teenage children of devotees showed interest. And that's how the ENGLISH & SANGA initiative emerged.
Every Sunday we meet online with devotees from 12 to 17 years old from different countries (Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru and even the USA). We share how we live Krishna Consciousness in our communities and invite older devotees to share their experiences.
All this in English!
There is a similar initiative here in Europe. Young devotees travel to an ISKCON community, do service, and participate in association and spiritual growth activities.
European temples obtain financing from the EU to cover the tickets and expenses of the participants. In our case, we are carrying out this virtually.
I'm astonished at how this initiative came to be. I was getting anxious about the future and clinging to making plans, but Krishna's plans are perfect. Once I heard 'sometimes the best way to solve your problems is to help someone else''. I know that adolescence is a challenging stage where many doubts arise.
As someone who grew up in a KC family, I can understand what the teenage children of devotees are going through.
Please, we ask for your blessings so that this service continues 🙏

. We'd love more teenagers to join, although we still don't know how to spread this properly.
Thank you very much for your effort in reading this letter and I hope it has been useful.
