hare krisna beloved gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to srila prabhupada,
here we are in mar del plata, living in the association of devotees struggling to take shelter in the internal potency of the lord. harinama.
gurudeva you are the greatest benediction in my life,
HpS - ASA - AGTSP we are making a very small effort. Some sincerity. The benediction comes because Krsna is using us!
...a living proof of sastra, a secure shelter for fallen souls. You possess the qualities of an exalted vaisnava and your example is a huuuge source of inspiration for myself and im sure so many many other devotees.
. . . after initiation sadhana fell apart, a waterfall of material desires drawned my regulation, had to finish rounds the next day. but
16 rounds ok 4 principles ok. preaching fine and growing, real life.
. . . arrows of lusty desires struck me very often. longing of family life. we seek intelligence in the mahamantra. No plans but chant and survive.
i feel tremendous gratitude of being aware of my possition, my weakness, makes me staying alert.
We are so fortunate, here at sama our health center we receive the visit of senior devotees very often, two weeks ago SS bhakti sundar maharaj was here for a week. we felt like narada muni serving the sadhus as the son of a sudrani.
i stopped worshipping the little gaura nitai deities and im helping in adorarion of the big one. im focusing in japa.
Since a week ago we restablished our sadhana and we are having morning program finishing rounds before starting to work. i realized everything expands from there. aiming mode of goodness for further advance.
Gurudeva your mercy is unlimited,
seeking your lotus feet,
Nikunja Bihari das.
HpS - Jaya! AGTSP! I think we could say the exact same thing as you. We follow 16/4 and more but also things like this trip to India, etc. They confuse us. We read in Hari nama Cintamani that if a devotee is dexterous in Sadhana he can wake up his natural love for Krsna and take up his service in Vaikuntha again very quickly, even a few days, but if he does not do it so expertly it can take several life times.
Maybe you and I are products of this several life time path.
We have to get good at Sadhana in a very simple practical way, use lots of mechanical though transcendental tricks eg. stop and chant one-round each hour.
So, news from Mar de Plata.
We HOPE news from education soon.
We write a DTC in a few moments with you all in mind. Thank you. Respects to all.
