Hare Krsna Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I am in Uruapá, Mexico. Just before we were in Morelia, this is like 5h away form Mexico DF. We are doing sankirtan, mostly in universities. I am with tree chilean devotees (p. Manibandha, m. Vedavani, m. Gokulesvari) and one devotee from Venezuela (bkn.Elisabeth, we are doing sankirtan together). It is very nice, the student take many book, in one classroom around 50% of the students take a book, some times 70%, the teachers also, even big book like The Cience of Self Realization, and also Bhagavad Gitas! I will have the result at the end of this marathon.

The people is very accesible, you can talk with them and their are friendly. I am learning from the others devotees new form to present the books, I would like to learn to do sankirtan in all kind of situation, open my mind to see a good place to sidtribute book everywhere, but I am far from that yet. For sankirtan you have to work a lot in your own mind, be very practical, to be open to new posibilities... Also you have to be very sensitive to your public. It is idealy a matter of yoga, to be connected with Krsna, and to be an instrument, for me is not so sweet yet, but I like very much this service, and I hope to become more expert with time and experience.

The sadhana is going ok, but it is not easy. My team is very nice, but we are very pasionate, so there is the tendency to sleep late, to eat whatever... I want to make my own sadhana, but it is not easy everyday, beacuse I have the tendency to let me be influenced by the group's energy. I don't want to become relax, it is not the goal of this experience... I hope to become expert in having a good sadhana with whatever service Krsna gives me. This is something I feel concerned now, how not to become more relax, but more serious with the years, and how to take the best of my association...?

Hare Krsna Gurudeva,
Your servant

HpS - Jaya!    AGTSP   paoho SO sorry it is slow answering your letters.  We are in our own super marathon here in INDIA.   Yes,    get up early and get your rounds done well.   Then we have perspective on what are the other priorities and how to adjust them.   Of course, 90% of the process is the association, so, if like Arjuna, we have to kill, or give up the association of our own family members, institutional family members to serve Krsna and Guru, then we have to do it.
