Hare Krsna Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Gurudeva, why if we chant Hare Krsna we are feeling so many material desires? How I should act or think when I can see that material desires are pushing me to act in a stupid way? Sometimes I can't understand little how I am supposed to be acting, by is not enough solid, secure position in my mind, so I am in some  way or percentage dragged by them. I now my chanting is offensive and inattentive, so I cannot complain.
I feel very fortunate to have Gopa Kumar, he is doing very nice effort to make his sadhana strong, and I feel Paramatma is guiding him so nicely to give me nice advice.  He understand quite well what I am passing throught then he finds very nice quotes, wich are the right advice at the right moment.  He is always very concerned about me, and my spiritual life.  That is very nice.

My family is very well. My parent are very happy, because my younger brother is becoming devotee. Before he was doing all kind of nonsenses. But some weeks ago, maybe more than a month, he is going to take prasada to the temple, talking with devotees, making questions. At home he stop to eat meat, and he is chanting japa (I think at least 2 rounds a day), doing his homeworks more seriously, and he is improving a lot his behavior. He is reading Prabhupada's book, small books, I gave him Upadesamrta, he finish in one or two days and he liked a lot . I am not so good to take care of new people coming to the temple, but I feel very concerned to take care of him, and more conected on how to help him with the little I now.

I don't take more of your valuable time! I am very amazed how Krsna is so mercyfull that He allow me to remain connected to this wonderfull mouvement, I try so see how tiny I am, so I need Krsna's mercy to exist. I wish to be prepared some day to serve you. Thank you Gurudeva for your mercy. All glories to our service to Srila Pranhupada!

Hare Krsna

HpS - ASA -  Jaya!  Prabhupada!

         Jaya Prabhupada!

                      Jaya Srila Prabhupada!      I am thinking of Miraflores, Jagannatha, and wishing I was there.  Arjuna still had "material" desires!    Krsna told him to connect his desires to act like a Ksatriya with His service.  So, if Arjuna is setting us the example of Karma yoga, then what to speak of ourselves.  Yes, we cna get a tast of higher things.  Maybe we can do them sometimes.   Maybe we are beyond the example that Arjuna sets and we can act purely on our intelligence!!!  Jnana yoga for Krsna,   but more likely our hope is to connect our desires, passion, to Krsna.  Just like, girls are attached to their family more than men, so make your family devotees!
It is not to give up these tendencies.  It is to purify them.   If you have the tendency to chastise people, you can be a Demon Killer for Buddha!
