Your Life Needs a Reboot
When our computer software ceases to operate properly we are advised to reboot our computer to bring the software back to proper functionality. Similarly, at the present moment due to our entanglement since time immemorial in this prison house of material existence we have become hopelessly dysfunctional. Thus in order to come back to proper functionality we need to reboot our lives. The reboot is very simple. We can easily reboot our lives by chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra with love:
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

My dear Srila Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet 🙇♀️
All glories to you and to Srimati Gurumataji.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada 🙏
Srila Gurudeva, I just read in Srimad Bhagavatam 11. 2.39 purport that: if one rejects the lotus feet of one's spiritual master, all of one's previous spiritual advancement becomes null and void.
But we have heard that on the path of bhakti there is no loss. Whatever progress one makes in Krishna consciousness is his eternal asset.
Then how to understand the statement from the above purport? Please enlighten.
Thank you so much.
Your loving daughter and unworthy servant,
Nandapriya Devi Dasi
P.S. Srila Gurudeva, by your and Gurumatji's grace I am able to do devotional services nicely. By Gurumataji 's encouragement I am chanting 64 rounds regularly since last week of December till now. Though the quality is not up to the mark for all the rounds I am trying every day to chant nicely, as Gurumataji said in the Srimad Bhagavatam class today, "Whatever you do ADD QUALITY to that. So I am taking that instruction deeply. And my parents are now listening to offline Hindi classes on Srimad Bhagavatam from our ISKCON devotees' recorded lectures. With Covid 19 situation here is not good. The temples are closed so we are not going out. So as Gurumataji also said, "Chant read with your family." I am always trying to be your loyal servant and begging your kind mercy always.
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Both statements are true. If one rejects his spiritual master he loses everything. But then if he comes back to his spiritual master he regains all of his previous assets.
It is wonderful that you are chanting 64 rounds daily. Keep striving to improve the quality and pure love of God will awaken with your heart.
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
Your ever well-wisher,
