Vraja Kṛṣṇa dāsa (Mayapur - India)

All Glories to Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga!

nāma oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatākā-svāmin iti nāmine

Seeing Your Divine Grace is a wonderful experience every time. Your Divine Grace always amaze me by the activities which is beyond comprehension. As His Grace Jananivāsa Prabhu always tells about Your Divine Grace that you are a person who never waste a single moment without Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Your Divine Grace always find outs new ways of preaching and interacting people. I saw last year you started asking “Who are the new people” “Who will leave tomorrow” and now there is a book table at rooftop and Your Grace is ready to sign every book. Your Book distribution and preaching program surpasses every new technique and beats the enthusiasm of Young devotees.

I heard in one of the classes that the topmost rasa is mādhurya. But above that is Audārya or compassion and this compassion or mercy aspect is the most important aspect of the Lord. Since this is the reason, we fallen souls have some hope that we can also go back home back to Godhead. But Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa being absolute in nature his mercy is also absolute and it surpasses all the restrictions, rules and regulations. Lord Kṛṣṇa in order to distribute this mercy to the full extent comes in the form of Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His mercy becomes unlimited, so much so that it is beyond the control of the Lord Himself. He himself gets drowned in that and opens the gate way for every living entity to get the opportunity to get inundated in the supreme compassionate Lord to distribute His unlimited mercy to every conditioned Soul to bring back the condition souls back to Godhead. How come otherwise it is possible for anyone to be blissful and compassionate and give everything for the supreme welfare of common people without caring for oneself. Your Divine Grace is that mercy aspect of the Lord which is beyond any doubt.

In the current scenario when the whole world is affected by Corona catastrophe and world came down to his knees to surrender to the Lord, people and devotees from all over the world are finding solace in the books and teachings of ISKCON Society built by our loving Founder-Ācārya Śrīla Prabhupāda. How fortunate we are to be a part of this wonderful home of Śrīla Prabhupāda which is like an Oasis in the midst of this infinite desert like material world. I feel so protected in the presence of Spiritual master like Your Divine Grace. Actually, I can’t even comprehend how much I am benefitted and protected by Your Divine Grace.

I am totally unqualified to glorify Your Divine Grace because of my insignificant conditional nature who is always absorbed in thinking of my own benefit and satisfaction of my own senses. And that’s why my thoughts and words are also limited being conditioned.

But I sincerely pray to Lord Rādhā Mādhava, Lord Narasiṁhadeva and Prahlāda Mahārāja, Lord Pañca-tattva for your Good health and Long life so that more and more conditioned souls can be delivered from the clutches of māyā.

I beg at Your Divine Grace lotus feet to bless me so that I can come out of this controller and enjoying mentality, I can chant attentively everyday and able to study Śrīla Prabhupāda bookṣ. I can come out of my mentality of getting good position, getting glorified by people. I have disease of procrastinating activities and being lazy in spiritual practices. Please bless me to overcome this. And most important I should be able to please Your Divine Grace and my dīkṣā-guru by my activities and should not displease or offend any Vaiṣṇava knowingly or unknowingly. Please save me from all these conditionings.

Please allow me to serve Your Divine Grace in someway which is the only hope for my deliverance in this material world.

Please forgive me for any offences I had conducted unknowingly and displeases Your Divine Grace.

Your Fortunate śiksa disciple,
