Dear Raman Reti dasi Hello. Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada! I am Madhudvisa dasa Jnr... Not the same one you met in India. Last time I heard he was staying at New Goverdhana in Australia here... It's great to hear about how inspired you became at the festival in India. Last time I was at Vrndavana was 1993 and I found it a very wonderful place. I don't have any amazing realizations, just that it is such a nice place and everywhere you go the people are calling out "Jaya Radhe".. I really like bathing in the Yamuna. It is so special. I am thinking about visiting again sometime... We have to make a vow to chant 16 rounds a day even if we don't feel like doing it... Sometimes the modes are very heavy and it's not actually easy. Of course the Holy Name of Krishna is full of unlimitied spiritual bliss, Krishna Himself is completely present in the vibration of His holy name. The Holy name is the incarnation of Krishna... But we are so unfortunate that we have no taste for chanting the holy name... WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP TRYING... Even if it is difficult... Gurukul is the greatest opportunity... Make the most of it, take Krishna consciousness very seriously and you will never be sorry... Try and read all of Srila Prabhupada's books, listen to his lecture tapes... It is a very special thing, he is a VERY VERY VERY special person. (By the way the guest-book response is automatic, I have been off the net for a while so I apologize for the delay in replying to you) So chant Hare Krishna and be happy! Your servant Madhudvisa dasa
