Hare Krsna!!
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada,
Here we are at our ashram in mar del plata, I just read your dtc when you say that 80 % of your life is catastrophy we are feeling much the same. Main frustration is that I would like to have a better standard and sadhana but I realize I can not do it alone. I don’t know wether it is because of my job, my wife not interested in spiritual life, not being able to manage my energy properly or what.
Regarding ayurvedic books im reading them but I feel more attracted to SP`s books and SP lilamrita. Bhaktisastri with HH BVPS I left behind it because I can not find the time to listen to his lectures, and this makes me feel frustrated. I would like to be a better devotee. Improve my spiritual practices in order to render better service to iskcon. What is the best way to do this gurumaharaj.
HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. Get up early and get your rounds done!! Never think, "Oh, I will have time to chant later!". Get at least 16 enthusiastiv rounds done early, before: Mangala-arati, SB, Breakfast, 10AM.
Being a doctor is intense so although i´m not working too many hours, only 24 hs a week, mental time or energy is different and sometimes i feel lot of pressure, maybe is because I have not complete support from my wife (i´m writing a letter to Srila Virabahu prabhu for advice in grihastha life).
HpS - Yes, can be dificult, but other perspective is that Krsna has a reason wy he has put you in this situation. You also did not take birth in a family of Paramahansas, and that is not going to change. O.K. This is what Krsna has arranged, it is the best situation for me. The way to make progress is to go deeper into the situation I have and then horizontal change will happen naturally if necessary.
I have read SB 3.23.4-5 the first three lines of SP`s purport speared my mind like an arrow.
Rural project goes fine, we are trying to do everything in such a way that local community will feel attracted to join this kc lifestyle. I read in SP lilamrita that Srila Bhaktisidhanta Saraswati Prabhupada said that he will consider successful his preaching mission when court judges wear vaisnava tilak. What a wonderful thing.
How can I improve my sadhana gurumaharaj?
Aspiring to serve you.
Bhakta Nicasio.
AGTSP pfanrh. Please forgive us answering these letters slowly. Travel from Peru to Europe and all these conferences has been intense. Now we have finished 17 rounds with Japa Joe, Webex group. M. Lalitagopi DD is chanting. How many rounds are you getting done, how early? Enthusiastic rounds.
