Please accept my respects and obeisances (tried to be humble)

All glories to Srila Prabhupada, Hanumatpresaka Swami and all Guru Parampara!

 Thank you very much for coming Gurudeva.  How are you?  I just read about you headache and health problems, I hope this letter find you better.

I didn’t send you the annual report in December; please Gurudeva, forgive me.  

Last year was hard but amazing! We were born again! I received your causeless mercy. We are striving, trying to keep the sadhanna .There were some difficult days, but by Krishna's causeless mercy, your valuable instructions, we have withstood severe tests and that it is strengthening us and change us( little by little).  I have faith in this process, in you, and  Srila Prabhupada. 

This year balance and depth: I can hardly be a constant person, so I’m trying to do my duties in the best way possible, finding balance in all activities, but I want  to study more than in past years.  I have resumed Bhakti Sastri with Prabhu Laksmana. Please Gurudeva bless me with intelligence to understand and be able to apply this knowledge.  I try to go at least 4 times a week to mangalaratik. I'm singing 16 daily rounds, now concentrate more to do enthusiastically. We are fulfilling the 4 principles.

About the service, I have a question Gurumaharaja,  what happens if a devotee tries to do some service and tries hard, giving their best, but in one way or another is rejected (again and again) and it generates a lot of frustration. How should we understand the rejection or disparaged in devotional service offered to Krishna? It is easy to fall into the role of victim, but as devotees, how should we understand and deal with this scene?

Thank you very much for your time Gurudeva.

May Lord Nrisimha deva always take care of you.

Trying to serve,  Indira-Sakti devi dasi.

P.D.: I send pictures of your Vyasapuja, we celebrated with Pushpa Prabhu, mother  Raykisori  and mother Radhana!

HpS hare Krsna. We don't know the details of your frustration so we can't give a detailed answer but, initiated devotee takes frustration as mercy of Krsna and goes on trying to do his duty. Of course we hare to understand why is our duty. Getting up for mangala arati every day is our duty.
