 Hare Krishna Maharaja,
AGTSP,
Accept my obeisences at your lotus feet . 
 
Well it looks like I transformed into the shop guy, yes they want me to run the shop fully, not full time but like knowing and managing everything related to shipments, payments, etc. I don't  dislike that much but it does't cause me much emotion though, The only thing is that I have to be careful with going to the bed on time because of the Sadhana. 

ASA - HpS - There was a gift store in the big Temple in Brooklyn, New York. It was on the second or third floor and nobody ever went there. Jayananda was there and he was just starting his problems with his blood cancer and could go out, so the Temple President asked him if he wanted to mange the Gift Store. He said, "Yes!".

Then he put notices by the restaurant, front door, changed then each week, offered free gifts and Prasadam for people who came to the Gift-Store. Of course, once they came there they also got his association, so he sold tons of books, made many new devotees, helped many people advance through all the levels of Bhakti yoga! 

I'm In holidays now, next monday I'll start again in the uni with the english. Reading NOD, its very absorbent and I think It's helping me a lot,
ASA - Danurdhara Swami's Waves of Devotion is a super, super guide to understand the NOD. It is a very complicated, analysis, so Maharaja's book helps so much.

 

. . .and also reading BG, not as much as NOD, I know both are important, It's hard to me to find the internal focus all the time( I can easily get it from external things, like playing in the kirtan, eating, like that)  I remember I heard Aravinda Prabhu saying that after all the external things, the inner stuff begins, and so, I also know that one can go to a certain level of anharta nivriti without being initiated, so i guess I'll have to wait patiently ofcourse. But now, I just see lots of mixed emotions, feelings and samksaras that are coming and going, and I think that it's because i don't want to go deeper that I don't solve them at once,
ASA - It may be because you don't want to go deeper, but it may also be just because it takes time. We have to have patience as well as well as enthusiasm, no? NOI-3

 

. . . it could take time but desire travels faster than time I understand, so you can see it is like a mental circuit in which i feel trapped sometimes, and some times, I can untie some knots with association, Krishna's and guru's mercy. So I just beg you and Krishna for help, and to be sincere whit what I really want, Still I have to discover it because this desires often confuse me .
...and yes madhumanjali mataji is the head pujari here and also Mataji Adi  from peru. we're just 3 ! 

 

 Hare Krishna Maharaja ,Agtsp. Thanks for your time And patience.
 

Trying to be your servant. Camilo

HpS - AGTSP! Paoho. Please, offer our respects to the Pujari and Adi Devi Dasi! Ask them to write to the Blog. Happy birthday to Madhumanjari Devi Dasi. Who hope that maybe she leaves her body and goes back to Godhead before her next birthday.

Again, it seems that you must have been a devotee in the previous life. Try to make rapid progress but keep some patience as PART of your enthusiasm. SB 10.9.5!
