B H A K T I (DEVOTIONAL SERVICE). part 6.
In many places devotional service has been compared to a creeper.One has to sow the seed of the devotional creeper, bhakti-latā, within his heart.As he regularly hears and chants, the seed will fructify and gradually growinto a mature plant and then produce the fruit of devotional service,namely love of Godhead, which the gardener (mālā-kāra)can then enjoy without impediments.

Dear Godbrothers and Godsisters,
Dandavat pranams!
We are running an Gurukul Ashrama for poor children in Bangalore. Currently we are building a nice kitchen so that we can cook efficiently for the Deities and serve that Mahaprasada to children. We give free education and food to 40 children and orphans. Srila Gurudeva will be visiting our farm in September 2nd week. We would like to complete the kitchen work before then. Can you please help us with a small donation to complete this work?
If you would like to make a small contribution, you can always use the Paypal button on http://www.bhaktistudies.com for making any small donation (can be even $5). Total expenses is about $1000. We are installing a chapatti (Indian bread) maker.
Please visit our gurukula soon when you visit India during Kartika.
Crossed checks in Indian currency can also be mailed in the name of “Sri Rangnatha Gaudiya Matha Charitable Trust” to

Life is Short. Go For the Lifeboat.
Life is very short, especially in the Kali yuga. Even though we are supposed to live to be 100, hardly anyone makes it that far these days. You never know when you are going to meet with calamitous death from disease, a stroke or a heart attack, an automobile accident, a terrorist attack, or from any other of a myriad of other possible means of untimely death. Therefore, since life is very short we should try to squeeze as much Krishna bhakti as possible into each and every 24 hour period to maximize our chances of remembering Krishna at the time of death thus enabling ourselves to go back to home, back to Godhead never to take birth again in this miserable world.
Some foolish people criticize us for being pessimistic. If you are on a sinking ship, it is better to know that you are sinking so you can abandon the ship and get into a lifeboat? Or is it better to ignore the fact that you are sinking and go on naively trying to enjoy yourself on the ship? Is the person who chooses the lifeboat a pessimist, or is he an optimist?
