Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
HpS - ASA - Locust feet!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Guru parampara.
Gurudev, Thank you so much for comments and queries for me on
http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/5385
Answering the queries below.
Gurudev, Thank you so much for sending recommendation letter to Temple President for
their approval, am absolutely ready for Second initiation and then 3rd initiation in this
life only, I never have had plan for Grhastha Ashrama. i wanted to talk about Ashrama
during your recent Delhi visit but the schedule was very busy.
I want to join temple but don't know how and where? may be in Vrndavana or may be at
Radha-Kunda by doing sadhna, don't know, how it is going to happen, not clear to me.
want to give this life for Krsna's servant of servant of servant and read & preach
SB and BG for the remaining life.
I am very much attached to SB and BG, so always things are going on my mind, how may i
preach glories of Lord with limited time and limited Knowledge!!?
ASA - Srila Prabhupada's Gita is much more than just BG, no? He includes so many other things.
Younger brother was studying and just finished his graduation and looking for a job. Once
he engaged in a job, he would be able to take care of parents and it would be easy for me
to take action for full time for ISKCON, very soon.
ASA - Look for Sankirtan Leaders, Partners. Does not have to be an eternal relationship, but practical partnership in Sankirtan. We worked with B. S. Damodara Swami as our Chief in the B. I. for many years, but it was not proper place for us for several reasons. So we left that Sankirtana party, but still worked with him as our Chief in Ranga-niketana group.
Regarding SB,
My Stew Dents are one entire family, cultivating them for last 7 Years but started SB
for them after a long 7 year waiting. The entire family is chanting, following the
4-principles. They are from business society, 7 years ago it was difficult to take their
time and they were not ready to give their time. So what i did, i started with basics
( what i had learnt from ISKCON ( have 5 certificates from ISKCON Pune)) by standing out
side their shop.and it was very difficult for me to concentrate because it was a on going
shop and customers are their always. But i never loose my patence. This way i cultivated
the Head of the family. Then finally the day come, when the Head of the family fully
convince and then he agreed to give 3 hours on Saturday and 4 hours Sunday. But it took 7
years to bring them at his stage.
ASA = Prabhupada also had to spend long time in preparation!
Smilerly, wherever i go and get chance to explore Prabhupada's said, i try my best. Even
they are from any society, cred, caste, any shop, road, office, market, public transport.
But i can assure you, will take care the points, you asked me to take care for SB.
Thank you so much.
your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das
