Dear Maharaja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Sorry for my late answer but me and my husband spent 3,5 months in Mayapur and we just arrived back to Hungary and didn't checked our e-mails for a few days.
Thank you for your kind and detailed answer and that you find time to me.
If i right understand we have eternal relationship with our spiritual master because we have eternal relationship with each other and because He helps/helped us to obtain our eternal position?
HpS - ASA - AGTSP pamho. That is how I understand it.
I have an other question but first of all I would like to introduce myself in few sentences.
I joined the movement in 1993 when i was 17 years old, i got first initiation in 1995 and second in 1998 from Balabhadra Prabhu (formerly Bhakti Balabh Puri Goswami). I lived in ashram and distributed Srila Prabhupada books for 7 years. I'm married and my husband is also a devotee.
My spiritual master was a very strict and heavy devotee. He is still a devotee joined the Gaudiya Math and got sannyas again.
He regretted what he did but unfortunately nobody cares Him. You are right i would be nothing without Balabhadra Prabhu and i always pray for Him to Srila Prabhupada and Krisna to show Him a right path.
I like your positive attitude Maharaja and good to see that You appreciate every devotee. I prayed for a long time to Srila Prabhupada and Lord Nityananda to send me a spiritual master who can give me guidance and inspires me and from Their's mercy I met You. You treat devotees as adults and help everyone. This attitude lacks from Hungary unfortunately. I disagree with so many instructions here but this is not a public topic.
HpS - AGTSP! Yet this is a public Blog... Ha! Ha! Ha! But don't worry. I have known many many GBC Secretarys PERSONALLY, and every single one of them I know also has disagreements about how management etc goes on in ISKCON. This is normal. If someone say, "We have no problems in our church." I am really, really suspicious. We have problems but lets follow the example of the Pandavaas how we solve them, no?
Back to my question; can you explain me who can somebody meditate on when they chant gayatri mantra if their spiritual master left?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Your servant:
Sri Radhe devi dasi
HpS - Well, as far as I can understand, I don't have a great esoteric knowledge of these things. I try to meditate on Srila Prabhupada and the Maha mantras and then whatever is associated with them. You could meditate on Srila Prabhupada. You could also meditate on your ISKCON Diksa guru in his proper situation, not a confused situation.
Thank you !!
