Jaya Gurumaharaja!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to You! My eternal spiritual master!

HpS/ASA - All glories to you, also, our eternal spiritual master in many aspects. All glories to our common Guru, Srila Prabhupada!

Please accept my eternal obeisances to the dust of Your adorable lotus feet.

HpS - You can see them? I can't!!! We all have eternal lotus feet, or hooves, no?

Each time my heart desires to glorify You even more, but last time I became a little sad thinking that I had offended You. Please forgive me, if that was the case. It is difficult to associate with such an advanced devotee as You. I always feel that I am committing offenses at Your feet, and that is what I am terrified of doing.

HpS - I think we are like maybe 20% perfect, but that is practical, substantial progress. It is probably far more than we realize just because our Guru, Srila Prabhupada has been pulling us, as he is pulling you all along!!!

When I read the last paragraph of Upadesamrta text 6, I realized my mistake. I heard you speak in Chosica, and I've never forgotten: the disciple has the duty to offer everything to his spiritual master, and the spiritual master has the duty? .. to reject everything! Please forgive me for asking you to accept my glorification of you. Please 🙏🙏🙏💐🌹💐🌹

I couldn't find the YouTube page you sent me. Said Video not available.

HpS - Also have that result some times!!

We recorded a Gaura Artik with Franco for you, but he says it's no good. I've already passed your message on to Franco. He'll send it. I hope Gopal gets around to recording it soon.

Franco uses most of the land we have to grow vegetables, etc. I'd really like to have flowers too, but I hope I can take care of them. I almost always come home exhausted from the street.

We have some neighbors, three families. At first, I was very enthusiastic about letting them know about the preaching center, but then I got discouraged because, most of the time, when I talk to some of them, I feel a tendency to investigate more than make friends. But I have distributed prasadam to them. I still feel a duty to let them know. There's a girl who recently tried to commit suicide.I spoke to her, and she told me she'd read a few of the books I gave her. But it seems she doesn't really have much interest in them. I wish I could help.

At least I can preach when I go out to other places to sell things. I've always been very idealistic. I would love for everyone to go with the devotees and be happy. But sometimes people have strange tendencies that I prefer not to know about. I really only help those who want to listen a little.

Thank you for your response, Sri Balarama and everyone! Thank you for taking the time to write to me about how to fix my beloved japa. I greatly appreciate your time and dedication, Gurudeva. You are a treasure in our lives.

I spoke with Mother Madhumanjari about being the guide for the woman who wants a guru. I hope that woman can become a devotee and be happy.

I understand that, in reality, my singing isn't very good, and it's true. I wish I had more time to sing more calmly and with more love for each pronunciation. I always have things to do. My Gayatri too... is so beautiful, and almost always I don't give it the beautiful attention it deserves. Someone speaks to me, or I already think about what I have to do. Perhaps because of my bad singing I haven't been able to organize more festivals.

What happens to me is that what I really like is to dedicate myself to singing attentively, and when I do, I always neglect something else that they later point out to me. And it's funny trying to do everything well. It's not possible for me. Through singing, I will do the best I can. As the song says: My dear brother, savor the singing, the holy name, even if it's just once in your life!

Thank you for all your wonderful inspiration. I adore your feet, Gurudeva, your manner, your way of being. You are wonderful to me. Thank you for being in this world and saving us with your presence alone. Thank you for the opportunity to praise Srila Prabhupada all the time! Please allow me to always follow you! Your lotus feet are always dancing in my heart.

Please forgive me for any offense in this letter or the others. As you said, I have hooves 😊 I'm just like a silly little animal who wants to always be with His masters and desires nothing more. I don't know how to glorify properly, I don't know so many things... but I wish to always be at His feet forever ♾️

Your foolish disciple who adores her wonderful spiritual Master, I feel very grateful and indebted. My gratitude to you is that I continue to talk about Srila Prabhupada to others... for now, that's all...

HpS - Jaya!!!! We go on to your next letter. Learn to sing the Mangala arati song, especially. Learn the word by word meaning and then sing with meaning during the Brahma muhurta. Report the result after practicing that for some time.

Maybe you already are doing that!
