lets get the ball rolling !

[Guest guest]

Hare Krsna everybody !

 

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

Thanks Ramdas Shetty for your inspiring letter! I thought it was very true

indeed about not trying to force our loved ones along the spiritual path,

prematurely. I hope that others also benefited from reading it.

 

Along this note, there won't be much to read from this conference if no-one

writes anything ! This is an open forum in which to share. I would like to

humbly encourage all members to share a little something about themselves

and the situation in which they find themselves. We now have up to 12

members, so hopefully we can have a little more interaction!!!We have 10

male and 2 female members(excluding me).

 

Well, I may as well write something now I'm already on-line.

 

I had a really good Radhastami. My husband decided he wanted to come with

me. He really likes devotees, so he had a good chat with some prabhus that

he has met on occasions before. He wanted to swing the deities, so he made a

donation and got a plate of sweets to offer. I was surprised at his humble

and submissive attitude, and thought about how far he had come in 4 years.He

loved the drama that the gurukula kids put on-Radha and the bumblebee. This

was the first time he had actively taken part,and really enjoyed all parts

of the programme. Normally he says "lets go home now", but I was the one who

eventually said we needed to leave. We finished off the festival taking

prasadam, and my husband had two plates,filling himself to capacity!!!

Seeing him having a transcendentally good time, actually inspired me

spiritually, and developed more respect for him as a seedling devotee.

 

All in all it was a happy and satisfying day, and my husband said again how

he had enjoyed the day so much before he fell asleep....Could there be some

taste developing?

 

Hurray!
