DAS - YOU ARE NOT ALONE

[Guest guest]

Dear Das

Namaste!

 

I have just read the e-mail sent to you by Natabara das in which he quotes

something you said some time ago, and which I missed since I only joined the

Gjlist very recently. It made me very sad to read that you are feeling so

lonely at times and I want you to know that you are doing a fantastic job and

that you are helping in no small proportion people like me who want to deepen

their knowledge of the Vedic Science, and progress on the spiritual path (and my

husband too, by the way!). You have set yourself a mission and you are

succeeding, of that there is no doubt, so you should be very proud of yoursefl.

We all feel lonely at times, even in the middle of a crowd, or surrounded by

family or friends, and there is nothing we can do about it. We just have to

control it and let it pass (I speak from personal experience..... my Moon is

rather 'isolated' in my chart.....) As my astrology teacher says, it is

important to relax the heart, and to become less 'rajasic' and more 'satvic'.

In this way, we can expect to reduce the anxiety that rajas creates in us, and

develop a more peaceful mind which will allow us to face the world, and the

problems we create for ourselves, with more serenity.

 

You say in your e-mail that you live in a city where there is no connection with

the Hare Krishna movement, or any other form of vedic culture. A few months

ago, I bought a book by Swami B. V. Tripurari (a disciple of Srila Prabhupada)

entitled "Rasa - Love Relationships in Transcendence". Swami Tripurari founded

the Gaudiya Vaishnava Society and much to my surprise, I found that the society

is located in Eugene, Oregon. I honestly thought you had something to do with

it. In case you don't know about it, here's the address:

 

Sri Sri Gaura-Nityananda Audarya Asrama

325 River Road

Eugene, OR 97404

Tel: (503) 461-5760

 

Das, you do a wonderful job. So, keep it up and remember that you are not alone

since there are many people like me who will eternally be grateful to you for

giving them the opportunity to share this precious knowledge with you.

 

Kind regards

Dany
