Thank you so much for your courage to share this very personal and inspiring story. What a wonderful woman! Isn't it too bad that we feel reluctant to share our imperfections and weaknesses with each other. I wish we as devotees were truly compassionate, less hypocritical and more willing to be honest about the fact that we are all fallen. If we could create a safe, compassionate and supportive atmosphere, we'd all *rush* to share our personal problems with other devotees, so that we could get support and encouragement, rather than condemnation and "holier-than-thou" attitudes. Right now, many devotees seem to have to turn to non-devotees for this. How does it help anyone develop their relationship with Guru and Krsna, if they can't even confide in their godbrothers/sisters when they have difficulties keeping their vows?
