Hardship and Restrictions as Enjoyment Excerpt from the book From the Very Beginning By Nataka-candrika Dasi SP Letter to Himavati Dasi- 11-17-71 You have a natural inclination as a teacher of small children, and I think that you should utilize it to instruct the young children of Hamburg in Krsna consciousness. Children especially are inclined to appreciate Krsnas pastimes, so begin by reading to them from Krsna book. They are not yet covered by false prestige and will very quickly take up to tapasya as if it were amusing like a game. Just see the young brahmacaris in India. The Guru says do this,do that-immediately they do- they go out and beg all day in the hot sun and come back with a little rice, then take rest on the floor with no covering. And they are enjoying, it is pleasurable to them to work very hard. So it is very important to train children to endure all sorts of hardships and restrictions at the standard of enjoyment, to accept a standard of less enjoyment. So i think you should begin immediately holding class regularly and advertising for it. I understand the German people are very fond of kindergarten schools so let them send their children to us for receiving the highest education.
