Hare krishna

I’m David Leyton. I’m from Santiago of Chile. Please accept my humble reverence, under your lotus feet.

HpS - Hare Krsna, not yet lotus feet.

Please, forgive me for my affront because of my ignorance. Prabhupada has taught me, through your words, that Kirshna’s mercy and blessing will be able to help me to use my intelligence wisely.

Maharaj, how are you? How is your health? Have devotees received you well? I haven’t written to you since a year and this was because my mind hasn’t allowed me to be in contact. I’m very attached to my material wishes and I tend to wander to the past. But because of Jaganath ki jay’s mercy and the devotees’ mercy, I could inject myself with enthusiasm again and write to you.

HpS - We recevied a letter from Temple authorities proposing you as a Refugee for Initiation, no?   We must develop regular communication then!

I’m chanting 16 rounds every day and I chant at least a japa at home before going to work. I almost always chant 16 yapas during the day and I hardly ever finish them the next day. Until now, during approximately 6 years, I’ve chanted all my rounds, I haven’t eaten meat, fish, seafood, eggs, and I haven’t poisoned myself either. But I’ve bought cookies (without eggs) in the supermarket; this is a weakness that I’ve been trying to overcome through a vegan and gluten-intolerant diet (I’m not eating gluten and dairy products because of health problems) for many months.

ASA - All four principles?

This 21 November is my first wedding anniversary.

HpS - Aaaah!   Yesterday. Hope it was very nice, purifying, motivating!

This period has been very happy. My wife is Macarena Palominos who is an English teacher from University of Santiago, Chile. I want to be with her until death us do part.

After The II Education Congress, I got really excited and a wish to go deeper in Krishna’s consciousness grew stronger within me. I started to serve to the Santiago temple, to Prabhupada’s festivities. Since 11 March, I’ve been helping with the cleaning in the kitchen and serving prasadam. I was missing a couple of days because of work, but I’m doing my best and helping as much as I can, especially during important festivities.

HpS - What is your work?

My wife and I were in Ratha Yatra this 12 November. It was one of the biggest festivals in Chile. It was held opposite Moneda Palace (the seat of Government), and I realized that I’m very happy of being part of this international society that serves to Krishna and collaborating with devotees.

Maharaj, we’re eagerly waiting for your return to Chile in order to listen to your lively classes.

Receive my most sincere greetings.

Your aspirant to disciple,

David Leyton

HpS - ASA -- O.K.     Write again after a few weeks!      We will buy tickets for South America within a few weeks!!   Chile/Argentina ...

Very nice looking Rathayatra cart.

Our repects to your good wife. Does she teach just conversational English or also English literature?
