sweet sorrow...

Dear Maharaja,

pamho, AGtSP! Was nice to get your association again, though it seems briefer each time, fortunately quality over quanity in this case.

You are doing so much nice work and enlivening so many people. My insignificance widens seeing your service, but I guess it is for the best, since there are so few devotees in this area I easily get puffed-up. SF Ratha-yatra was great and service there was blissful for me, though I am noticing defects in my mind & bodies performance and know that in time I will have to find some other services if I am to continue. Local authorities sure have plenty of suggestions for service and I appreciate it, yet I am now starting to say, "No" to some offers, it is difficult and I know it is a priviledge to get devotional service....I feel it is time to regulate things a bit more. Main concern is not commiting offenses and keeping my pale sadhana going. Almost to the point where if I do 16 rounds and follow the 4 regs I'm done for the day. Obviously there is so much more that is needed in spreading the Sankirtan movement, am still attempting to give some books out though I am not getting any Laksmi points going, what's a fool to do?

Always in your service,
sincerely,

ccd.

HpS - ASA -  Jaya!     AGTSP      paoho.    It was so enlivening to spend Saturday with you Subhra and Laddu-rani.        Thank you.      The rounds are the essence.   Get those done well and everything else is play.     Of course, that is a stuggle, but the result is so great.

Yes, old age is a good friend for a devotee.  Pushes us to work more with the intelligence than the senses and mind.  When the intelligence is purified we ar practically speaking Krsna Conscious.  Follow two addresses for Subhra to write to about getting in touch with the Krsna avanti Schools in England or other places.  Also, they could give information about other programs!!!     Don't give up!
