Hare Krsna, Tom Brown (Swarup Damodar To HpS)..
AGTSP, PAMHO.
Every Sunday there is a class held by HpS. Somehow, we have missed it for many weeks. Still, in the background of our minds, we feel deeply grateful for all that HpS has given us.
We are satisfied and fortunate that he initiated us. Sometimes, simply holding on to chanting and following the four regulative principles feels like a sufficient battle for the day.
HpS reminds us that there are many levels of initiation. Yet, we do not wish to brood over our struggles or speak too much about them. What matters is that we are keeping the promise we made to him. Enthusiastic chanting is not always easy—its definition shifts with our circumstances. At present, we are struggling even for daily food. Still, we are not suffering; only the body and mind may feel the strain.
we had whatsapp chat with him and shared link

HpS - AgtSP!!! Thank you. We looked at this link from our WhatsApp conversation. It seemed pretty good, but didn't seem to some to a useful point for us too fast.
I think that there may not be an appreciation that Srila Prabhupada is using the work Demigod and was broadly acceptable to the intellectual community of Srila Bhakti vinode and Siddhanta, 19th century and early 20th century English.
trying to keep being enthusiastic in chanting

HpS - Enthusiastic does not always equal material quality, no? Some days mind is a storm and then to keep it only 60% on the chanting is enthusiastic chanting.
