Dear Jayapataka Swami!

 

Please, accept my respectful obeisances to Your lotus feet. All gloris to

Srila Prabhupada! All glories to You! You mercifuly offer Your helpness to

all devotis. I'd like to reclive instructions from You and would to become

Your siksha-disciple.

 

My name is Madhurika devi dasi. I live in the village Poletaevo-1, it is not

far from Chelyabinsk. We have been holding nama-hatta programs for two

years. We are gathering twice a week.We cook prasadam, sing holy name hear

lectures. I'm senior matadji and we have also one initiated devotee-Umapati

das. He is vice-president of Chelyabinsk society for Krishna Consciousness

now.He arranged our nama-hatta programs. My main service is cooking prasadam

and giving lectures two times a month. I'm alco doing ahother kind of

service. On Sunday I visit temple-programs at Chelyabinsk.

 

I was read Srila Prabhupada's books in October 1996, in the next year I

reslived pranama-mantra and on 24 January 1999 I was initiated by Bhakti

Bhringa Govinda Swami. I'm 28. I have been engagemented since Oktober

1998. My fiance is initiated disciple of Indradyumna Swami. We are going

married Summer or Autumn this year. Now I live with my parents. My mother

is devotee. She regularly visit nama-hatta programs, sometimes she helps us

cooks or washes dishes. My father is not devotee, but he not forbids us to

occupied spiritual practice. I'm teacher of history and I'm working at the

scool. I have higher education, but I don't know English. I'd like to write

You 2-4 letters in year, ask the guestions and reclive Your instructions.

My mother is 59. Her name is Nadejda. She has been chanting 16 rounds

since 1998 (and she has been visiting nama-hatta programs) She hasn't

opportunity to go to another city. She sow You in Chelyabinsk, when You came

on September 1997. She reclived diploma from You on the program "Siksha".

You made a big impression on her.

 

She'd like, that You become her Spiritual Master.But because her husband is

karmi, sometimes she forced to buy and cook not vegetarian dishes althogh

she observe 4 regulative principles very striktly. We not want to have a

scandals in the family and break it.

 

Can You give her pranama-mantra? She is not young and I want very mucn, that

she 'll be able come back to Krishna. She is very interesting person. Her

mother was very religions and my mother was coming to the church,

prayering, reading the Bibliya. When I was read books of Prabhupada. I just

reclived the Krishna Consciousness. But my mother couldn't understand why we

are singing and daneing. We must crying becaus we are very sinful. She was

arguing with me. But once she sow dream:"Little Krishna was came to her and

sad:" Dont argue!" He was preaching to her and she stopped argue. And she is

dancing and singing now. Please, write some words for her.

 

Hoping on Your mercy Madhurika devi dasi. March 1999.
