I hope you’re doing very well. I write you, firs of all, to pay you obeisances and respects.

I thank and glorify Srila Prabhupada for showing me his mercy in this way.

There are some philosophical issues that have been very clear for my understanding in your classes and have helped me a lot in daily life. I find so much inspiration in your preach and many realizations in your recommendations. This is why I’m very thankful with you and your disciples who share your classes in both, audio and video.

I wrote you in march, exposing my wish to serve you, before I did it I have already told to Jiva Sakti prabhu, who answered me telling me that he had talked to you and told me that if I was ready what it takes to take the disciple test, I could do it when I feel ready. I haven’t done it because, in the first place, I want to strengthen my sadhana. Once you said that doing spiritual life is like building a skyscraper and it need to have very deep foundations.

At the present time I’m studying the last semester courses of my graphic designer career and I’m trying to carry out your instructions, my duties at school, home and the Bhakti-vrksa program to which I belong.<img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

I still chanting sixteen rounds and I keep practicing the four principles. I’m reading the second volume of the Mahabharata and I’m trying to learn more songs that glorify both Radha- Krsna and the vaisnavas.

Generally, everything looks as a beautiful and sunny scenario, a bit hard, but my growing devotion for Lord Govinda inspires me to keep on trying. It’s a tough battle against mind and ego to make them understand which are the most important things to sustain my saddhana and the likes to be detached from. That’s why I’m asking you for your mercy to understand what devotional service is so I can serve Govinda, Srila Prabhupada and you in the best way.

It’s okay if I write you once a month through this blog? I wish, if your mercy allows me, to keep in touch and receive your guidance.

My obeisances to you

Hare Krishna

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP.   Santa Isabela!    All respects to you and the German. Yes, please write as you need to. We try to answer as best we can. I think you will find many answers in letters from others. We have many challenges in common.

Your reading sounds nice. Maha bharata gives real perspective on the BG and even the SB. Of course, we have heard from Hrdayananda Goswami that Madhava acharya says that the Maha-bharata that we have has been corrupted. SOme things have been added, some things removed, and some things in the wrong place. BG is standard. So, take what you find there in terms of Srila Prabhupada's books!
