Haribol!!
Please accept my humble obeisances!!
All glories to srila Prabhupada,
Here we are in mar del plata almost going to bed, rest for another day, !!
Today an argentinian pope was elected, Francesco I because of Saint Francis of Asis.
A very humble man. His nephew was my schoolmate in medschool.
16 rounds every day, brahama muhurta 50% of time, 3 ½ principles.
Reconciliated with wife, we understood we came here to preach and make austerities, not to enjoy, we have strong faith in the power of the holly names and sadhu sanga.
We feel tranquil we accept our maya, attachments, difficulties and without shame offer that to Krisna and beg for purification. Arcanam is our next focus.
Started a bhakti vriksa group at SAMA our health center, many blessings from SP and mahaprabhu, 2 people already started to chant japa everyday. My wife attending the program also and chanting japa every day 2 o 3 rounds.
Once you said in a letter that we must connect with Srila Prabhupada`s lotus feet somehow or other. So there is a big dilemma going on in my heart.
Wether to wait until I raise to the standard you ask for diksa initiation or take diksa from another ISKCON GURU who ask for a lower standard and relate with you as a Siksa Guru.
From the situation I am right now I feel your standard for diksa initiation too far away, I feel like you when you were laughing about Raghunath Das Goswami saying that vaidhi bhakti was cheating.
HH Jayapataka swami said in a lecture at Buenos aires mandir that one can go back to godhead without having taken diksa if one was sincere and was chanting the prescribed number of rounds.
Srila Prabhupada waited for eleven years to take diksa initiation from Bhaktisidhanta Saraswati Thakur.
Should I wait and be patient or should I hook as soon as possible to the parampara?
Please convey my humble respects and warm greetings to Prof. Bandyopadhyay and devotees in Manipur.
Aspiring to become your servant.
Bhakta Nicasio.

                 HpS - Jaya.   So nice to hear from you.  Sorry for the delay.  You know why.   As far as we hear from Prabhupada again and again and again to be his disicples. to take diksa from him we have to follow the four principles strictly and chant 16 enthusiastic rounds.  we can take classes in the university for no credit but to get the diploma we must be registered students.  yes, there may be very unusual circumstances but usually if we are sincere then Krsna will arrange all we need to follow all strictly.

Illicit sex conditions us to suffer in the future. A man who engages a women in illicit sex is a torturer of women.  Ooof!         But we WILL  surpass all this.    We are not disicple of  Srila Prabhupada unless we chant 16 rounds and follow the four principles in heaven or hell.   This is what we have heard from him.

                 We have a connection.  We are patha pradarshika guru for you.   You can take many such siksa gurus and eventually take diksa from someone, and have him and many others as siksa gurus for more advancement later.

This is what we know.       Be sincere and go ahead!  Don't accept unclear knowledge!
