Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami,
pamho, AGtSP!
We received your correspondence, reminding us, that we too must keep in the loop. In this case we’re taking advantage of your world-famous blog, so on with the show!
ASA agtSP..... paoho. 🌴
Actually it’s been trying.
Just to get some dharmic activity since returning from Houston I jumped right into a Bhaktivedanta Institute residential service, and mundane bill coverage along with household and yard pruning, maintenance etcetera.
Though I guess all this is part of dharmic activity, I just feel that so much more effort should go with devotee association.
Then last week, after 2 try’s for Hari Nam, I finally scored on the 3rd attempt and did get some necessary Sadhu Sanga.
After dancing & singing [🐵
about KRSNA] in the streets, I was in ecstasy… though some Vaisnava’s there were puzzledly looking at me. Regardless, l felt much better, admittedly, the following day I had some intense myofascial convulsions, like leg cramps from hell.
Funny thing was I started laughing it hurt so much and I felt better… hope I’m not getting sadistic [masochistic?] in my old age.
On the social scale, I finished my japa early (that 2am start time just nails the chanting) and a quick visit to Facebook seeking the new devotee’s I met on Hari Nam.
I was hunting and pecking on the Ol’ laptop (Dell XPS is in the shop), and “Pop,” a pornography “rated advertisement was blatantly flung on my screen.
My Brahma Muhurta hours were “hurting.”
Then, later, you were posting on X about keeping our hearts clean and offerable to Shyamasundar Gopal.
So tricky Maya is!
My fear factor is actually rising now, for at my latter [years?], devotional service is important, and we know how the mind knows no limits of sense gratification.
The good thing is that we have such nice darshan of Sri Sri Radha Shyamsundar at the Temple and are getting more association with some very advanced Vaisnava’s! Sri Bhagavan is keeping us engaged where we may do the best, I have to never forget and always remember.
Apologize for my brevity, had limited editing time,
All glories to your service!
HpS/ASA -- We work on the World War II dictum that if first class will never get done, and second class will be too late, then third class is good enough.
Thank you for your powerful and valuable association. Please, by mercy of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Nityananada, go on becoming a devotee on the level of Narada Muni. Eight PM, time for arati and KRSNA book!
more.
respects to mataji and madan mohan das
