<cite>Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! </cite><cite>Please accept my humble obeisances and please, forget my offenses. </cite>
This is Nadia Villar from Santiago, Chile. I haven’t written to you since long time. It’s sooo inspiring to know that you are in the Holy Dham!! I Hope to get the mercy to go there one day.
<cite>Many things have happened to me this last month. Health problems, lots of work and emotional troubles. Because of that, I have done many offenses. (or may be it’s the other way round) I haven't chanted rounds for days… I can notice that my level of conscious is not the same as it used to be. After your visit, I was very happy because I had a fixed service in ASA Chile and in Congregational Department, I used to get up at 4:30 almost every day, offer incense and flowers, chant rounds and then go to work full of energy. My service seemed to go nicely. But I don’t know what have happen to me... some devotees have told me that spiritual life full of troubles but the important things is to get up, shake off the dust and keep going. I can understand it, but these words haven’t been able to inspiring me enough. At the bottom of my heart there is still a strong wish to learn to love Krishna and serve you and the vaishnavas nicely. Am I just incapable to do it, or may be it's only a bad moment? What can I do to take up again my service? I am really afraid because I don’t want lose it! </cite>
<cite>I feel ashamed of daring to tell you all this, I know that is not something to be proud of, but believe me, I need your advice. I hope one day good things come out from this fool. </cite><cite>Thanks for your patience with me...</cite>
<cite>Your servant, </cite>

<cite>1. Take a vow to chant a fixed number of rounds/ day until the next Ekadasi. Something you know you can do without fail: 1-round a day, 4, 6, 16, and then do it! Don't let you mind defeat you.</cite>
<cite>2. You have to read a little bit to get strength to chant.</cite>
<cite>3. Then use your intelligence to get a little good advice about how to participate in Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtana.</cite>
<cite>4. Report back!!! Yes, you have been bumped by Maya, out of the battle!</cite>
<cite>Boomp! Like Hanuman, up, shake off the arrows, roar and back into it! Your service is your Sadhana, from that will come Karma yoga, working with your hands!</cite>
