PAMHO AGTSP

      ASA - Jaya!   AGTSP!!!!   We had a dream last night with you in it!  Can't remember the content!

Dear GM Thank you for your reply. I do not have much to say about myself that is new or interesting or worthwhile for this blog audience to hear about. My sadhana is not as strong as it probably should be and I'm not fully up to the iskcon standard, but that does not mean I am not Krishna consciousness. Of course, I am still wrapped up in body consciousness to a degree. This seems to go with household life to some extent. I do some reading and listening to lectures most every day. I am currently reading the nectar of devotion.

ASA -  Do you have Waves of Devotion by Dhanurdhara Swami?   Availbable on internet.  He gives fantastic expalation of the Sanskrita words tat Prabhupada is translating so quickly.  Puts in grafic charts they show what Prabhupada roughly describes.  The NOD is an EXTREMELY analytical book.  Without Waves of Devotion I think only an advanced Paramatma realized person could get a lot a benefit from the whole book!

I listen to your lectures and some from a few of the other devotees in iskcon. I have been watching the memories of Srila Prabhupada on YouTube recently. The issue for me over the years have been to develop the intelligence to have proper faith. It is a very large world out there and there are many things which test our faith. So sravanam and kirtanam are important and I am hoping will develop more steady smaranam. I haven't any association to speak of here so I rely on lectures through the Internet and reading. Although I'm not a fan of speaking about myself (I am self-absorbed enough as it is), please feel free to ask me any other questions. I have a few questions: Is there a good site for accessing your more recent lectures over the last few years? Is it correct that there is not a reply button on this blog site and that in order to reply or respond to a letter or comment, I have to post a new letter? What is your current email address? By the way, if my English seems rather colloquial that is because I'm using Siri. YHS tcsd

            HpS - Jaya!     Yeah, I think the way it's set up you have to post a new letter.          We don't answer letters besides the Blog currently, except for specific things, like Itenarary, Bhakti vedanta College, etc.   If you'd like to write about a more confidential topic then you could write to Monkey's Mail Bag at [email protected] we usually get all the mail from him after he "chews it over".     He is a very tight lipped guy.

We are running to the airport now!        I have to aske Srinivasa Das if he has more current lectures.  Right now we are working on a serious book for San Marcos University....  See you in Chile!
