i personally don't know how to say all this. But we were surprised that you said in DTC that you were working with us in India. We never felt that we are working with you. It seems we took much more from you, and even did not appreciate you in return.

we want to take intiation from you, but due to...

HpS - ASA - Ahhh!    This is the same as the other letter. Well, as we said, our situtation is just the same as yours and your honest and penetrating description of the situation has helped us clear our brains a lot. Thank you Dr. Pradhan.

As far as the ISKCON gurus and GBC Secretaries etc. etc. that I know, most of them are in the same situation as you and me.

For me I can start with what I personally heard from the lipz of my spiritual master. If you want to take me as a spiritual master in this aspect you can now hear it from my lipz (word processor). SP said, "I will never die. I will live forever in my books".

O.K.

DP - We can't interpret how to apply what he says.
ASA - Well, he says things to a lot of different people because people are on different levels and in different boats. He says things that ladies in the class can understand and you and I cannot understand and vice a versa, but some things are quite appropropriate for us all.
For example, there is no doubt that he wants us to chant
Hare Krsna/Rama as much as possible.
O.K?  Now you have full engagement in ISKCON - Chant Hare Krsna, Hare Rama, as much as possible...

 

DP - But I can't chant all the time!
ASA - Don't say that, chant.

DP - I can't! I can't!

ASA - Well, then chant Kirtan morning and evening with your family and friends [as much as they will join you [and if they don't join you then let The Evil One take care of them]]. Read the KRSNA book and chant Jaw Pa Pa!


One rounds, two rounds ....    Make some vow of how many rounds you will chant a day for a certain number of days and declare your Vrata here in The Blog and then Report, here in The Blog.

We will chant 16-rounds per day for as long as we can breath and follow the 4-principles strictly (with the possible fall down into Illicit Vanilla Ice-cream Consumption though we hope to surpass even that by the mercy of Guru Prasad Swami).

Simple, no?    Even a Software Engineer could do it, what to speak of a Management Engineering Docent, no?    Other details will follow?
 

O.K? ?  ??   Koi prasna hai!?

        O.K.  with all of the guys who are in the same situation as Dr. Pradhana???      Come on!  I can think of at least two, three more immediately.
