Dear Guru Maharaj  !!  I salute you with a deep respect, all the glories to you, all my obeisances to you, to Srila Prabhupada and, also, to all devotees of our Lord, Sri Krsna. 

Some days ago I talked with Ananda Vardhana Das about the last letter I sent to you ("the dream of Srila Prabhupada"). He helped me to understand  that my letter was very extensive and he told me you dislike that.  I'm so sorry, please forgive me and give me another chance.

HpS - Hare Krsna!    It is not that we "dislike" long letters. It is that we don't have the resources to appreciate them, especially in this media. Jaya!

Everyday I read Srila Prabhupada's books. Every week, 4 or 5 days, I go out into the street to distribute His books. I chant 16 rounds everyday, with great effort, some days more and some days least.

I drag a lot of anxiety in my mind because of legal problems with my ex-wife, and my Bhakti it ain't pure because of that, but I try to do my best. I burned my legs in an accident with gas (only thanks to Krsna it was not serious) and then I suffered some colds, for first time in many years. The accident was before the last letter I sent to you, I wrote it during my convalescence, and also this one (I have a cold). I'm so sorry for giving you bad news about me.

HpS - We cannot suffer in this world unless we enjoy. This is a world of dualities. We suffer cold because we had heat. With Krsna there is no duality, only happiness. The suffering and happiness are both happiness. So see things that happen you life from a Krsna conscious perspective. Be a well-wisher of your wife. Think how you can help her. If she is full of fear and greedy because of that then help her.

Everyday I think of Krsna and Srila Prabhupada. And everyday I think about your person, Guru Maharaj.

All blessings to you, your disciples and any people around you...

Your aspiring disciple and servant, 
Carlos Rold.

HpS - Hare Krsna, Carlos!    Your name sounds like King Roland of Germany of the Holy Roman Empire of the Catholic church.
Gon chanting. It seems this is not your first lifetime being a devotee. Make progress: 1. Get free from distress, 2. Get everything in harmony and balance.,  3. Get transcendental relationship, service, with Krsna!
Get to work... Improve your craft.
