All Glory to Srila Prabhupada, all glory to all devotees.
Please accept my humbles obeisances unto you.
Dear Gurudeva: In these days filled with violence and ever-increasing wickedness, by His mercy I have continued to chant HARE KRISHNA, in fact, I almost never do rounds of 108 mantras; I usually chant 110, 115, or even 200 mantras per round, because I’m not often satisfied with my pronunciation of each mantra.
I’ve also continued studying SP’s books, just as we follow the tireless preaching activities you share with us, I'm finishing reading the Madhya lila, and the SP’s lectures of BG, and I’ve been writing some essays on the Puranas, as well as reading many of the books published on iskcon desire tree by various acaryas, such as the Sad Sandharbas.
I’ve tried to speak only about Krishna with everyone I can,
I don’t have a fixed home to live in—I’m a nomad—and I live only by Krishna’s mercy. I don’t make elaborate plans either, because, as you’ve told me, Krishna has other plans.
Sometimes, people who follow different traditions also invite me to pray with them in a group, but it’s very difficult to organize programs with local devotees. Unfortunately, preaching is becoming less common these days. Honestly, I’m afraid to approach certain devotees; I don’t want to offend anyone. It’s very sad to see the devotees’ faults, such as the feminist rhetoric that criticizes SP and other acaryas.
However, we pray that Nitay Goranga will help us in their mission. That is why it is more inspiring to watch and follow programs from other countries. Without a doubt, your efforts and example help us to not lose hope. I'm glad to see other people taking an interest in KC, I see my own smallness in carrying out SP’s purposes and in becoming a true servant. That is why I pray to be able to continue in that direction

HpS - Thank you.
Srila Prabhupada writes in the NoI etc that he also feels sometimes that there is no help from some of the people who should be the very closest to him by institutional relations.
As you comment at least we should be GBC Secretaries of our bead bags in all circumstances and then we can see what Krsna wants us to do in terms of institutional relations. Community relations.
Srila Prabhupada showed "a lifetime in preparation". Maybe several lifetimes for us.
On the other hand, great political leaders can have a deep personal realization at any moment and the whole world can change in a week.
Gauranga!
