Hare Krishna respected Gurumaharaja!

PAMHO

AGTSP!

Sorry for the lack of communication. 

We have moved to Thailand with my family, and I'm working as a teacher. We have opened a small restaurant Govinda where we live. We are all very busy and transitions are always tough, but we have the company of devotees so everything is ok.

my chanting is not attentive these lasts months, and reading is not so good either. Please bless with more enthusiasm to improve my self and service.

your insignificant servant

HpS - ASA ---  Yes, is good to hear from you!   Your situation sounds encouraging. The 'blessings' of a Sannyasi, Brahmana are not some kind of magic pill. Rather the mercy of Srila Prabhupada is his instructions, no?    Then we have to do our part.

Maybe you are an insincere rascal who knows what he should do but would rather take te easier, grey service, of Karma yoga. Focus on what you are doing rather than how you are doing it.

Or maybe you are a very sincere soul who is just in a difficult situation and so the little chanting and reading that you can do are quite exemplary.

We don't know. You have always impressed us as a very sincere person, I would opt to think that you are in a difficult situation and thus offer the advice to not kick yourself too hard for you failings in the basic regulative principles of Bhakti-yoga (sravanam kirtanam visnoh), but rather see all the good things you are doing and then make little, but enthusiastic, changes to your Bhakti-yoga, even daily, to refine your Sravanam, Kirtanam. Get Study Partner(s) and read and discuss one of Prabhupada's books.

Eg., start reading 'Your Ever Well Wisher' for 10-minutes every day before lunch and discuss it with another reader and...

O.K?  What do you serve in the restaurant?   Do you get leads for catering from it?   That's usually much more effective!!
