Hi maharaj, how are you and your health?

HpS - AGTSP - General deterioration: Memory, Eyes, Balance but improved intelligence.

I´m David Leyton, I´m writing you from Santiago de Chile. I'm verry sorry for not writing you before, but i think about you every day and i'm very happy because i listened to you last friday on the computer in the class about the levels to achieve autorealization. I'm confused because you told me that chanting Hare Krishna was enough to achive autorrealization. Then do both activities work the same?<img alt="frown" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/confused_smile.png" title="frown" width="23" />

HpS - ???   What "two activities".    We chant Hare Krsna. It is like eating food. If you eat there will always be an effect, but if you eat properly there will be a better effect. So, we chant kirtan, japa, with bhajans, deity worship, association....

I chant 16 round every day, but at weekends i feel more absentminded, so i cannot concentrate<img alt="crying" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/cry_smile.png" title="crying" width="23" />.  Jayapataka Swami said: "When we dont chant 16 rounds, we can finish them the following day, but we have to add five rounds more", Why is this?

HpS - I Never Never Never heard, "five extra rounds", just heard that you should make rounds that you dont get done the previous day but dont make a habit out of it.

My gilrfriend and i, are getting married on 21th november, then i could fulfill the four principles, and currently we are fulfilling three principles firmly. Please, give us your blessing to achieve our goal.<img alt="heart" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png" title="heart" width="23" />

HpS - SB 1.9.26 ... "Sex indulgence even with a legitimate wife must also be controlled, and thereby family control will automatically follow. An intelligent man abuses his great qualifications if he does not follow the Vedic way of life." 
Under normal conditions human beings are inclided to sex only when the wife is in her natural time of conception. It is all very natural. Other than once a month after garbhadana sanskara it is "illicit", un natural and it will condition us to material life. Yes, it is better in married relation but it still bocks and direct experience of our relation with Krsna. 

If we try to can get free from illict sex and even breathing.

Also we are doing service on the temple on Sunday mornings.

Thank you for your patience and goodness.
