Dear Hanumat Presaka Swami,
In first of all I would like to thank very much for your response in my last letter, i really apreciate the time you took to review my letter. I hope you are feeling better now... I'm keeping my principles and enthusiastic chanting my rounds, these days even sooner, since now I'm being able to wake up before 6:30 am. If you don't mind I would like to ask a few questions, I hope it's ok for you sir.
1- In his comment to Sri Sri Siksastaka, His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, says that "the perfect chanting of japa is possible only in ones mind", and then says that "the imperfect chanting of the name Krsna is incapable of causing de greatness and perfect change in the living entities. In fact that imperfect chanting will make then doubt of the kirtana potency."So my question is, how can we improve our japa rounds and he kirtana so it becomes stronger for us and for people who are hearing us?
ASA - We don't know the details of your present quality of chanting so we can't make detailed suggestions how to advance, but of course, follow the four principles strictly is essential for good Kirtana. Then Prabhupada, NOI, morning program!
2- When does one can start preaching for other people? The nectar of devotion speaks about 3 classes of devotees, explaining the different characteristics of ash one, and it says that only the 1st class devotee can preach perfectly, but if we read Prabhupada's books and use his arguments and logic without changing it are we able to preach to our friends and other people?
ASA - Yes.... !
I won't bother you with more questions, at least not in this letter… Thank you Maharaja one more time for taking your time for at least reading my letter, and I hope to see you in a few days! I'm adding a picture of me so you can see that I'm a little different than you imagine!
Your well wisher and servant aspiring,
