(This report is of a personal nature, so I ask discretion. Thank you)

ASA - O.K.  Unless you are reporting for example that you are Chileno serial killer and you want to remain anonymous, right?

By Lalita Madhava Prabhu advice, I decided to write in English, so do not take more work to respond in Spanish. I'm glad immensely to write again, after almost three months of absence from my last report, I'm here. And it is that during the last time I have gone through ups and downs.
Sankirtan I had to stop because of professional projects, so the time I had to divide it into equal sectors for both sadhana, photography, study and family. I felt little motivation because of all this scheme to develop the best song of my rounds, but reading Srila Prabhupada always constantly going to my side.

Professionally, I am developing a photographic project with other photographers colleagues, focused on documentary photography; so I it has had me hopeful of being a participant in calls related to the topic.

The family is a Russian roulette, so you rises and falls are quite noticeable, in a hostile environment.

Although not everything is going in the best way, image, memories of his visit to Chile, and his preaching through his disciples, were able to steady myself in times of instability. My question, very respectfully, is how to carry out a Krishna conscious life, where an obstacle, one after another appears in most cases; how we can cling to an inner Krishna, as support for the chanting of His holy names, because life in conditions like that, is too difficult to carry. I felt very sorry, I content tears more I could not get them because of the shell being generated in kali yuga.
How to shake up intolerance and try to live more simply, both devotees and nondevotees.

HpS - ASA --  We have been crying several times in ISKCON. The pressure from friends, family, authorities gets so great, but we have always found that if we just adopt Draupadi's solution, put both hands in the air and cry for Krsna. Of course, with us we can put one hand in the air with our beads.   Then go on chanting, chanting, (crying), chanting and Krsna gives intelligence.  He did not give Arjuna a SUPER-WEAPON. He gave him intelligence. Once we have that we can understand what is what and act properly. Separate from some, closer to others, new way of associating with some...  Many things.   Of course, caught in the river, in the beginning the current is very strong, but when we take the rope (Japa..) then we get pulled toward the shore and the current gets less and we can feel the solid ground under our feet more and more.
So, chant Hare Krsna and be happy. You will make lasting progress.

By the grace of Srimati Radharani, the taste for playing mrdanga was a beautiful service and my heart is soaked air of Vrindavan, and visualize the cowherd while I hear her sweet rhythm.

Daily thank the Lord for his service, guide his disciples, and for which we are not decision from Him, we also feel very fortunate.

I hope to serve you soon. My heart feels ready to make the move to shelter, but also, I see that quite lacking in my spiritual growth for you to accept me as your aspiring servant.

Krishna bless you even more.

His servant
