Regarding love affairs in the material world: they are only shadows or reflections of the real love with Krishna. If you love Krishna in any capacity, you shall never be frustrated because everything in Krishna is perfect, eternal, blissful, and full of knowledge.

My Dear Kancanbala dasi,
Please accept my blessings. I have duly received your letter (undated), and noted the contents very gladly. My sincere blessings are for you for your nice prosecution of Krishna Consciousness. Whatever you are doing at the present moment is approved by me and I think on account of your becoming a sincere soul, Krishna is dictating from within and you are doing things so nicely. There are two gurus–one internal and the other external. The internal Guru is Krishna Himself seated in everyone’s heart, and the external Guru is the Spiritual Master. So a sincere devotee is helped both externally and internally. To the sincere devotee the internal Guru Krishna dictates, but the thing has to be conformed by the external Guru then it is all right. I am very glad that you don’t go out, and keep indoors engaging yourself in Krishna Consciousness activities.
Regarding love affairs in the material world: they are only shadows or reflections of the real love with Krishna. If you love Krishna in any capacity, you shall never be frustrated because everything in Krishna is perfect, eternal, blissful, and full of knowledge. So continue your present activities and chant your beads; whenever there is some difficulty consult Brahmananda or write to me; and Krishna will help you more and more on the path of perfection. Hope you are well.
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
i fell in love with a man in whom i have seen and felt krishna. I lost everything 2 this man and i have nothing left in me except my infinite and boundless love fr him. He is my krishna and krishna is him. And krishna lives in my heart. Krishna krishna krishna is all i can think abt night and day.

I am realy surprised to know you… I am proud of you dont have words to say anything I can just feel you love with Krishna……….
thanks! dear
bt i m in a big doubt now cud u help me out.
I’ll tell u a story
whn i was 12 i fell in “atrraction” with a boy. I never talked him since i passed my twelth. He was my classmate. Suddenly he realized my atrraction for him. Though i love krishna but i m attracted towards him, even till this day. {I m sorry kannu, bt dont know y he atrracts me a lot}
One day he asked me n i accepted it as love. I m in addiction of this guy now. I cant stop talking him unitl he breaks contact wid me, its like he can go away frm me i cant n he doesnt allow me.
He doesnt love me, i know bt i m still atrracted n he pulls me towards this matrialistic world. Help me out
I love Krishna.
I feel happy 2 see many, loving krishna. But just 2 say in short my love, I want Krishna 2 be born as my son. Only a mother can show true love and affection 2wards her child, more than a lover, father, brother, sister, and anyone else.
it’s very good that u want krsna as ur son….. but I just want to be wid krsna in any relationship… I just want to feel krsna…I am waiting, when will my eyes be decorated with tears of love flowing constantly when I chant Your holy name? When will my voice choke up, and when will the hairs of my body stand on end at the recitation of Your name?
please be mercyful to me n give me shelter of ur feet… so I can attain krsna…
