Please adored Guru Maharaja!!

Please accept my respectful obeisances at your beautiful lotus feet, from which I once drank the water in Peru. Please, beloved Gurudeva, do not deny me the worship of Your feet. I have no other refuge than the dust of Your feet. If You do not allow me to worship Your feet, then as the song says, I will weep constantly and will not be able to sustain my life any longer. I live in a very great illusion, trying to make daily sales, but I am happy to be able to preach to people who wish to listen. Please do not be disturbed, beloved Gurumaharaja, by my words of worship at your feet. You are strictly following our beloved acarya Srila Prabhupada. He saved my life. I was about to leave the body, and by reading your books, I found a beautiful light for my heart. With your wonderful treatment, you have made me believe that in this world there are fortunately good people whom I can follow. And I am cultivating my devotion to Govinda thanks to you. Please give me the shelter and happiness of glorifying Your feet which are the creeper of my devotional service.

HpS - We struggle to not eat too much. We read too much about historical heroes and event. We seem to be pretty reasonable guys. One way of looking at Srila Prabhupada. Perfect by his adjustments!!!

Yet, unless you have accepted Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami as a personal Uttama adhikari Guru, then we cannot do practical service as Diksa/Siksa guru!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada, founder Acarya of the soul-saving movement! All glories to you, beloved Gurudeva who allows us to follow this beautiful path to have and serve Govinda consciousness.

A few years ago, I think it was 4 or 5, I was taking my beloved initiation japa out on the street, because I wanted to continue as Srila Prabhupada tells us: to take our japa everywhere. But, it happened to me that, after getting home and washing my japa and drying it in the sun, it seemed that the thread with which the gopis are attached began to unravel❤️💖,

now i have krsna radha, lalita, vishaka and one more gopi that follows them, loose, kept in a separate bag (so that they do not get lost) inside my bag of beads. and inside the bag i have 18 gopis together plus 1 gopi that follows them, loose (also kept inside the same bag inside my bag of beads and all my japa that follows is fine, except for one last gopi, the smallest one, that is loose. kept inside the same bag where i put krsna with the gopis, which are loose. but unfortunately one bead (i don't know which one) fell inside the land where we live and i could never find it again.

I sing them and take good care of them. They've been like this for years, and of course I never take them out of the house. I sing with my fingers! Or I chant a mantra. I count it and get to 108 and say one round, and that's how I sing on the street.

Franco suggested I buy some plastic fishing line, and he'd fix them with that. But I don't know if the gopis would be happy with plastic between them. I tried fixing them with thread, but I didn't do it right. My beads are big and beautiful, but the hole is too small to thread them through. I don't know how they made them!

So, can I leave them like this and sing like I'm doing now? Or should I let Franco fix them with fishing line?

Use the nicest fiber you can. Synthetic fibers are O.K. as far as we know. Pass a sufficiently small thread through all of the beads. Then add like two times the length of the beads on the string and then pass the thread on the spool through the center of the thread where it enters the first bead. Then pull that penetration through all 108 beads. As it goes through it will pull another strand of thread off of the spool. Then second time it will pull another. After some time there will be a thick cord of thread though the beads. Cut it and then tie a know between each bead.

And :

you said in Anvesaka that we should sing with beads at all times, and I would love to, but I don't want to take them outside... so I can sing with my fingers at all times? And when I get home, I desperately grab my beloved beads and finally sing with them.

THe sixteen rounds certainly, but after that mechanical counter, fingers, stop watch, writting on paper are all acceptable!

extreme thanks to the Blessed dust of your dancing feet that filled me with glory and happiness and I never wanted to leave that nectar again. I pray to our sweet Govinda that I always take shelter in You, Srila Prabhupada and in the Parampara. Please GURUMAHARAJA, do not deny me, do not deny my words. I am eager to glorify you eternally. If I do not, my words have no reason to exist, describing stupid material sounds.

I'm really fed up with this whole material world game... so much effort and not knowing where you're going... that's what I tell people, but if they don't have a Guru like you, their lives won't be saved!! and not only them but their children too... will suffer the same misfortune... chewing the chewed and rotting in this horrible game: the material world. and suffer so much. I don't want that, I want to glorify it eternally.

All Glories to His Holiness Hanumat Presaka Swami, who saved my life and those of many wonderful devotees, and those yet to come!! Eternal thanks Gurudev for your constant preaching, for all you have done in the sciences, universities, and in our hearts. I have no words... I can only help every day with my grain of sand: hello! here is a book that can save your life, like it has saved my life and that of many people around the world! here is the vedabase, here is the address! you can go, listen, ask, eat, it's all free... and you will learn a lot!

Allow me to glorify you forever with my dance, I sing, whatever this neophyte disciple of yours can do. Please save me from the fire of the material world, and rather, like a vessel, may I be filled with the nectar of your glories, so that I can give a little to the suffering people I meet on the streets every day. That will be an immense pleasure for me.

Your foolish disciple who wishes to advance greatly and reach the goal without delay: japa Prati Jalpa Radha Devi Dasi

HpS - Not that we are advancing, no? We are just waking up.

This is good?
