All glories to Sri Sri GouraNitay !!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!!

All the Glories and my most humble obeisances to you dear Gurudeva!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, I hope you are in good health and in every respect, Lord Nrsimha is always protecting your steps, I have been fortunate enough to be able to connect to the start meeting programs and it is so exciting and inspiring to hear and know at the same time that although the devotees are in different places doing their programs we are connected in some way and you are with us encouraging us in our sadhanas and the chanting of the Holy Name, my favorite part of the program is when you read us the NOD, it is a loving father reading to your children, I thank you so much for all your effort to always be there, although as I do not always take advantage of it ... I hope to stay connected with you through this means, it is my great opportunity to obtain your association.

I know that I am writing to you after a long time, last year was so intense of a lot of study, we have very little left to finish the university (I am studying for a midwife) and I was approved in all the branches in 2017 and I had my internships in hospitals, incredible to see how people just need to be treated well or a kind word, it was a very nice experience since I felt much more confident with what I have learned these years.

My children are very well Manjari is 14 years old and Giridhari 13 grew so much that I am already a dwarf next to them, they are learning many interesting things both are participating in a program during the year at the Catholic University where they will carry out workshops and science courses, Mathematics, art, ecology, astronomy and sports, languages, poetry, really is a very interesting program that encourages them to be more inquisitive and reflective with knowledge.

I'm improving my sadhana, singing the 16 rounds and following the 4 principles, increasing the reading and learning songs I write them on a poster and I stick them on the wall so every time I spend I memorize something until I learn it, it's a good technique to learn verses too . During the past year I found it very difficult to perform a service in the temple, for my studies, children and home duties, I hope this year to have the opportunity to perform some service, or perhaps hold meetings in my house taking advantage of the space and The environment of the field, while at home we take care of Sri Sri GouraNitay and Tulasi who has already been two years with us, it has already been two winters and although the winters here are not as cold as in the USA it is a blessing that Tulci is in our home .

I say goodbye to you, Gurudev, hoping that you are well and thanking you once again for all the inspiration that you give us and that impels us to go ahead and improve, excuse all my negligence and offenses.

* The Japathon was very good to start the year 28R, it could be repeated *

HpS - Thank you!!   Another technique is to put a verse on your refrigerator door and chant it everytime you open the door.

You seem to be going ahead very well. Just continue....   engage others wherever you go.
