Immediate Transcendental Bliss
Here is an excerpt from a wonderful letter Srila Prabhupada wrote to Minoru and Kenji from Los Angeles on 22 April 1970 in what was the first letter that he ever wrote to his students from Japan:
"I am very glad to learn also that you are feeling joy while chanting the mantra Hare Krishna. Yes, it is exactly like this. If anyone chants this mantra in good faith and in simple understanding, then surely this transcendental vibration will act immediately in spiritual bliss. Please therefore continue to chant this mantra as many times as possible throughout the day and night. I do not think there is any inconvenience or loss on your part if you do so all the time. Even when you are walking, you can softly chant Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, or even when you are on the bus going to somewhere you can also chant. When you are working with your hands you can also chant and when you are resting or going to take rest you can also chant. Even in your toilet room while taking bath you can also chant. In this way there is no limitation or restriction for chanting this Holy Name of God, Krishna, and His Energy, Hara. In doing this business there is no loss, but there is very great gain which is transcendental realization."
Anyone who follows these instructions will be living 24 hours in the dimension of pure transcendental bliss.

My Dear Sweta,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Everyone gets exactly what they deserve. If something bad happens to a good person, this means that they are the getting the karmic reaction for something bad that they did in the past.
However, if one goes beyond being a good person to become a devotee of Krishna, Lord Krishna will free him from all the reactions that are due to come to him from his previous activities before he surrendered to Krishna.
Therefore those who are intelligent transcend even the realm of goodness by surrendering to Lord Sri Krishna and thus live forever in the realm of ever-increasing transcendental bliss.
I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.
Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari
