Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I hope this letter finds you very well and happy. I want to thank you for all the effort and sacrifice you make to free these souls of the fire of ignorance in which we are trapped. We are eternally indebted to you.

Please excuse me for not writing so often, I remember you always and try to have your transcendental association following your instructions, but I feel ashamed because I can not always comply 100%. Please forgive this flawed soul.

Despite the very confused and sad days, more than ever we stick to the process, for me have been very difficult because, other problems appears (family) but, still, we are trying hard to control the senses, the mind, struggling with tama-guna.

As  Gandharva dasa said, we are studying the Srimad Bhagavatam  I'm also reading at night Venu-gita, I'm delighted, it's so sweet and funny. I'm learning to sing and feel "He Gopinatha" of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. These are saving my life. Also, we are studying the TTC1 in Vaishnava School (Param Padam dasa) that has revived us a lot.

I want to ask your merciful instruction regarding the following situation: We had made many plans to stay in Chosica because, the air here it is more clean than Lima (you said we use poetry...) But lately the air is polluted. I would like to understand the current situation in the jatra of Lima and Chosica..Perú, philosophically speaking.  It is known that Krishna's plan is perfect, but I do not understand, I try to have a spiritual perspective of everything that is going on, but I do not know, we are neophytes, it hurts to see how things are so different from what Srila Prabhupada wrote.

I do not understand what attitude to take in this environment of devotional service, where it is so easy to be censured and criticized, just for doing service. We have seen very good devotees, with more than 20 years in ISKCON, very sadhaners, preachers have been removed and censored. So, please Gurudeva, I beg you blessed me with enough intelligence to see mercy, because in this situation, where exist an absurd paranoia, make service in a favorable way is very difficult and even dangerous.

Thank you very much for your time dear Gurudeva.

May Lord Nrisimha always protect you.

Trying to improve my sadhana, trying to serve

Indira-Sakti Devi Dasi

Happy Damodara masa!!!

HPS - Hare Krsna. AgtSP. Thank you for your letter. First principle is that we can die at any moment. A driver can lose control on the highway and smash your body into mutilated corpse or... first we accept this principle and give our life to Krsna. Then the witch cannot touch us.

Then understand your service to Krsna and Prabhupada. Talk with them.

Then develop your team, friends. Then look at the institution. It may be good it may be bad. Accept it as it is and work to help it.

That was Prahlada attitude toward his father, institution.
