Bhakta Robert is in Century Correctional Institution in Century, Florida. He has been in touch with devotees of ISKCON Prison Ministry for many years and is dedicating himself nicely for devotional service. He regularly writes to devotees and shares his realizations.

So only the Lord's true devotees can have connection with the eternal, its speldour and opulences. Being the divine sweetness of Lord Rama and His wife Sita, and progressive development in bhakti, devotion.

In Bhagavad-gita (7.19), Lord Krishna says, "after many, many births the person in knowledge who happens to achieve the association of my pure devotee finally comes to understand that the whole universe of moving and stationary beings is of the nature of vasudeva, alone the source and substance of all that be. Having grasped this conception he surrenders unto me. Know such a great soul to be extremely rare."

It is easy for me to chant 108 rounds because I'm in a prison cell most of the time, and the only remaining thing now is Lord Krishna; being either happy or sad, my environment is for my inner soul awakenment, so that it will be of the fullest type.

I have a deep thirst for the Lord. Sometimes when I look at photos of Krishna, I cry for no reason, but it's all about having a closer relationship. Sometimes I believe it's avathudenda—divine madness! For at night, when I sleep, I'm dreaming about the Lord. It's like I'm awakened to the world of the Absolute, I'm even chanting the holy names in my dreams. This is because my sub-consciousness has been open from chanting so much, or divine sleeping?

Your servant,
Bhakta Robert
