hare krshna dear gurudev pamho tlgasp
el motivo de escribirle esta carta es para informarle que no estoy
siguiendo todos los principios lamentablemente tengo serios problemas con
la intoxicación
es un problema muy serio el cual ya estamos haciendonos responsables por
que queremos completr proyectos los cuales este factor no es un aliado . . . quiero avanzar en la vida espiritual por eso le cuento todo
esto mis rondas mejorando de a poco retomando los botos de 16 rons ,
con respecto a la relacion guru discipulo
veo que muchos devotos hablan asi como si fuese una relacion muy fuerte
incluso discipulos suyos dicen tener sierto rasa con ud
cual es enrealidad y esos rasas son axternos los que escucho hablar??
en lo personal a mi me gustaria tener una relacion mas intensa con ud .
usted cual es su punto de vista con respecto a eso y de que manera lo puedo
servir de manera extra de seguir los 4 principios y cantar 16 rons
por ultimo e pensado que quiero situarme en varnaasram y . . .
todas las glorias a srila prabhupada

Thank you for your letter. First, Prabhupada had over a thousand disciples. I was like 1,111 or something like that. So, an intense relationship with the spiritual master does not mean physical or exchange of a lot of individual letters. As need there can be that.
Lord Caitanya had 4 intimate associates: Svarupa Damodara, Ramananda Rai, Sikhi Mahiti and Sikhi Mahiti's sister. Of course, since he was a Sannyasi He never spoke or even came close to SM's sister. Still she was one of the 4 most intimate amongst thousands.
So, the intimate connection with the spiritual master or any devotee is to try to understand their service and help them.
We are trying to serve people by counseling like this, answering letters. It is only possible through the Blog. If you just adjusted your letter a little bit, not naming your material addiction specifically then you could post your letter on the Blog, then this answer could go for at least 15-more devotees to see who have 97% the same problem as you. Then our letter load is reduced from 450 per month to 150 per month.
Of course, these addictions: sex, power, fame, intoxication, mental pleasure, are different for different people. You have to do your own work of using the tools that Lord Caitanya has given us to pull up your individual weeds. Some are very very deep.
Of course, full morning and evening program are essential process. Are you doing that? Are you getting up early and having time for your spiritual life?
We have to force our mind by hard work to taste spiritual pleasure then it will not be attracted by the material rasa which is a shadow.
One very specific technique is to chant Hare Krsna all the time you are preparing to indulge in the vice, while doing it and then, maybe even one time of going through the experience like this you will see the stupidity of the attraction and give it up.
O.K. Please write to the Blog in a general sense or open an account with another name eg. Captain Peacock.
We will edit this and put it on the Blog but your identity will be eliminated.
Jaya! Hari bolo! Krsna needs lots of help!!!!
