Hare Krishna Hawaii

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Once again, my updates are as usual...constant struggle..still reminding Govinda Datta Das to write to the blog...and trying to accept my Karmic situation being here. I keep trying to manipulate the situation by my own means in a poor effort to improve things here at the temple. I have failed to remember to simply surrender and let Krishna take care of it here. I had a good reminder of that today. It was nice..sort of a smash of the false ego you know? I feel refreshed. I'm still unsatisfied, but am again persuing indifference to my emotional relationship to the situation and also focusing on correcting my own mistakes (which I feel is a constant effort) and improving my service.

There is a devotee in this temple who just arrived. He is isn't initiated, but was taught the gayatri mantra. He asked me to ask you if it is an offense to chant that without being initiated?

 

ASA - HpS  -   AGTSP  pamho.  As far as we know it is EXTREMELY dangerous.  Always saw bad results, one guy ended up en a mental hospital and then had a frontal lobotomy!

 

(Doesn't the spiritual master give the disciple the gayatri? I'm not sure how he got it, he isn't aspiring to anyone.)

Anyway, there are some interested characters at this temple now.

Please tell me if I am out of line asking another repeated question. What would it take for a devotee such as myself to travel with you for some time?

 

ASA - $600 and ability to follow our nature and schedule!  Hare!

 

I assume I would have to pay my own way? Are there any qualifications I need to amount to? I'm sure you have many disciples want your constant association.

I am also unsure if I should be going back to Utah with Caru as I originally planned. I recall that their Mongala Aratic doesn't start untill 6am or something.

 

Monkey - Oh, my God!

 

I want to go for the association of my good friend Hanuman Das, and to see my family (my grandma before she leaves her body). But I'm not sure if that would be in my best interest. Would you prefer me to stay someplace else? Should I even leave this temple?

Thank you for your guidance and words of support. I'd be lost at this temple if it weren't for you. I am constantly looking to serve you better.

Your lowliest servant,

Bhakta Adrian

 

HpS - ASA -  Get up early and get your rounds done.  Send a report to the blog on how many rounds you have done before 10AM for the next three days!!!
