All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Gouranga Mahaprabhu.
Dear Guru Maharaj,
In reply to previous letter, I would like to inform you briefly about the Sadhna of my father, your disciple Krsna Swaroop Das as stated by himself. He chants 32 rounds everyday. From morning 2 am to 7 am, he finishes his 16 rounds, does mangal arati and reads scriptures. He chants the other 16 rounds in intervals throughout the day. On weekly basis, he goes for preaching doing house programs on Bhagavad Gita and book distribution on average 3-4 days. (mostly on saturdays and sundays)I have attached a photo of yesterday's program we held at a nearby place.
ASA - Thank you both. Paoho...!...
Guru Maharaj I am indeed very much grateful to you for your nice descriptive explanation of my previous query. Please forgive me if I wasted your valuable time for giving such a descriptive explanation.
Guru Maharaj sometimes senior devotees have different opinions regarding a subject matter based on their different realizations. And this sometimes leads to debate when they come together for philosophical discussion. We take the opinion of Prabhupada, previous Acharyas or Guru as the final judgement but all the time we may not be able to contact Guru for queries or we may not have any statement of previous Acharyas related to that subject . In that situation how can we know who's opinion is right or atleast closer to the "tattva" (The Absolute Truth)? We all have our convictions and opinions based on what "we feel right". So I think in order for us to know what is right, we first have to be right i.e we have to be sincere in serving Guru and Krsna and pray to both of them to enlighten us so that we start feeling right what is indeed right. Is this methodology correct Guru Maharaj? Please give us your valuable advice on this matter.
Dandavat Pranam unto your lotus feet.
Your fallen servant

HpS - ASA --- BG 4.11 is very nice, no? If we want to life and think that we are the Supreme, then Krsna will arrange some thing for that. Of course, He is ver kind, so He will also try to do something positive for us: Justice and Mercy. So if we don't want to understand the truth then it will be hard.
If they are very important points then Krsna and the Acharyas will have written many times to clarify the details, no? If not much instruction, then probably they are not too important of points.
BG 10.11 .. "There are very, very learned scholars who have put forward the philosophy of devotion. But even if a devotee does not take advantage of their literatures or of his spiritual master, if he is sincere in his devotional service he is helped by Kṛṣṇa Himself within his heart. So the sincere devotee engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness cannot be without knowledge. The only qualification is that one carry out devotional service in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness."
O.K.? Do you know enough to do some practical service today? If , "Yes", then that service the best way to get knowledge to do better service tomorrow.
Hare Krsna!
You live in a very nice place for Sankirtan!
Nice photo!
