Camila-21years old- Chile/Argentina 

I do not know how much time has passed since the last time I wrote to you, and the last time that I did, was for private message...also I don't know if you published the letter... But really, doesn't matter too much. 
Well, I want to tell you, that We're chanting everyday our 16 rounds, they aren't good, but I know that if I still fixed at my japa bead, the taste will come...but always praying for that.. Also We decided to adorate deities, their names are : <img alt="heart" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png" title="heart" width="23" />NITAY GOURA SUNDAR<img alt="heart" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png" title="heart" width="23" />(BhaktiMarg Swami puts their names). (Enclosed in this letter a picture of them). In the morning I attend them :)))))))) ...is so beautiful, I'm really happy...I wanted this for so long. 
We're not doing any "formal service" for now (in the temple), but soon I will. 
In the other side, in my "normal" life I'm attending to classes of Contrabass/Double bass, music is everything. <img alt="heart" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png" title="heart" width="23" />

Many things were around in my head after the letter that I wrote. And the answer that you gave me ... my poor intelligence would not let me fully understand your advice and instruction, I turned to Abhimanyu Das, who is like my older brother, and he tried to show me what you meant. I don't know really if I'm ready to get married (formally), I'm always doing things in the wrong way...I'm not able to live in the temple, I see that sometimes devotees do that so easily, and I saw that isn't for me.. is that bad? I'm in the lowest position for that? 
The relationship that I'm keeping now, is so beautiful, We're worshiping the deities, reading about krsna, chanting our rounds...my spiritual life has become more stable. Maybe I'm the kind of person that needs to have someone next...

 I don't know how this affect my relationship with you, the person who I feel and know that is my Guru, my Spiritual Master. ¿Do you want to me to do something? ¿How can I sincerely serve you? I'm such a fallen soul, always making mistaken, one after another... The only thing that keeps always in my mind is: Attach to the chant of your japa. 

Well, This letter is TOO long, PLEASE EXCUSE ME for that, I wanted to make it short, but I couldn't ... Excuse my bad english.
¨Please accept again my sincere obeisances. 

¡All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

HpS - AGTSP paoho. Thank you for the letter. It is nice to hear from you. We all like you. Who is your male associate? Does he have a name? Our best wishes to him also.
In Kali-yuga there is no other way for spiritual advancement than chanting of the Holy Names. Of we should first chant the Pancha-tattva mantra and by the interaction of the mercy of these five Acharyas we can get free from offenses and then chant the Hare Krsna mantra in ecstacy.
Santa-rasa is the first level of service. It means detachment from matter and attachment to Krsna. Material attachement basically means the four sinful activities, illicit sex, intoxication. . . We use these to have a Rasa with our senses so we can turn our back on Krsna.

How terrible!!!

So, we have to chant and try to give up the four sinful activities. If we engage in them we will see that they make us poor stupid and greedy. Krsna never suggests anything impractical.

O.K?

Aim toward chanting Holy Names with partner, devotees, self and following 4-principles strictly, then you will understand how to have a superior relationship with partner, family, devotees, countrymen... Mmmmmm! Go to Goloka!
