Re: Sudarsana Guest Book Entry



Dear Dennis

Hello. Hare Krishna!! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila 
Prabhupada!

It's great to hear from you again. I have had some email problems over the past 
few months but now I am trying to answer my mail at least once a week...

I know what you mean about intellectually adjusting everything. My mind is 
expert at that too. But we have to ignore our minds. We have to simply hear 
Srila Prabhupada by reading his books and listening to his tapes and accept his 
instructions -- even if our mind is saying something else... We have to decide 
to finish this endless cycle of birth, old age, disease and death... And that 
will require a little tapasya, austerity... We have to undergo some voluntary 
suffering to make advancement in Krishna consciousness and that means following 
the four regulative principles (no illicit sex life, no meat eating, no 
gambling and no intoxication) and chanting 16 rounds of the Hare Krishna 
maha-mantra:

          Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
             Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

It seems like austerity in the begining --  but it will turn into nectar 
later... We have to become determined to follow Srila Prabhupada's instructions 
and Krishna will give us the strength to do it...

There's no point in using our energy to simply become more and more entangled 
in the material world, we have to use our energy for the pleasure of Srila 
Prabhupada and Krishna... That will be a different experience altogether...

Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!!

Madhudvisa dasa.
