hare krsna dear Gurudeva!!!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada and U!!!
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet
ASA - Lettuce feet.
Here we are after some months from our last letter.... HOW ARE YOU???
ASA - Just like you! Struggling with our senses and Kali-yuga and our selfish greed.
We are OK for a transplant patient for 2nd time and still dealing with weight... As our ayurvedic doctor said no matter how much you weigh the important thing is the energy we have to do things
ASA - Yes! It is the energy!
... so in that case we can say we are still alive... We read all your "BACHELOR BEANS ESSAYS" and most of the time we feel so connected with what you write... and we try to follow all your advices ("...you should eat as much as you can hold in your cupped hands ...", "...Eat like a King in the Morning, a Prince at Noon and a Beggar at night..." etc) the body is always telling us what is good for us... we follow some diets to improve our energy and by the mercy of Krsna our energy is improving, and about weight... well doctor said it's gonna take some time but now we know a little bit more our body... how to control agni and be more conscious of what we eat.
ASA - Even a little Ayurveda helps SO much. Never going to perfect this body. Always some sand in the sweet-rice. Look at Maharaja Parikshit. He was trying to make his kingdom heaven on earth, and Krsna pulled him out: I don't want heaven the prison house!!! I want purification in the prison house. Take you Doctor and all the Hospital Staff back to Goloka with you!
Next week we start a new year in the school, this time and we will tutor children of sixth grade (12 years old) and continue teaching english in secundary. We had to quit our job in the embassy of India because it was too much for us... we have this service in the school, classes at university ( Finally in August we finish the carreer), Waldorf Specialization ( five years)... so as doctor said do not push yourself too much...
ASA - Super! Super! Super! You have to write some deep comparison, contrast between Bhagavat Education and Waldorf Education. Work on a book. Post is here.
By the mercy of Srimati Vrindadevi we have 3 tulsi plants in our home... they grew after more than one year of putting the seeds... it was incredible... Our sadhana is still low.... but we keep reading and chanting as much as we can... No Sanga yet, no temple program, but with our family we try to do something at home... specially the altar ... our Mom is so impressed everytime deities change the clothes that we try to keep that service not only for her but for everyone who comes to our house.

Well these are the things we are doing now.... we always have hope to improve in every aspect our our life...
thanks a lot for all your support and all your patience
Your eternal stupid servant
Patraka Das
ASA - Lets hope that we are eternal stupid servants and not eternally stupid servants. Every time we fall, we should learn from that. You can become like th Mayor of Lima or famous Poet or so many things as you become better at Sadhana.
