Hare Krishna!
Please accept my humble obeisances, and all glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Dear Maharaja,
I've made a final decision that I would like to be your disciple. When I cried for a guru, I was lead to you. When I fervently prayed to Srila Prabhupada to be of service, I was lead to you.
Maharaja, if you will accept me, I would like to serve your instructions forever. I am also inspired by HG Mahatma Prabhu, for siksa. He is helping me a lot with chanting better japa. And then I came to the conclusion that this is actually helping me to follow your instructions of enthusiastic rounds.
And by your mercy I am able to go to the full morning program. So it finally dawned on me, that this is everyone working together to serve Srila Prabhupada!
I will take your instructions very seriously and follow them to the best of my ability, one day at a time. Following your instructions makes me look forward to the next day ahead!
Also, I am inspired by HH Tamal Krishna Goswami, HH Kesava Bharati Swami, HH Radhanatha Swami, and HH Sivarama Swami.
Then I remembered you saying you only get one diksa, and have as many siskas as possible. So they are all helping me serve you, if you will accept me.
Plus you have said that we should not wait to serve Srila Prabhupada. I am ready to become your disciple as soon as possible! It's time to leave this world! By spreading the message of Lord Caitanya, of course.
I'm very much looking forward to being a monkey in Houston, and also in Tennessee too! What a great opportunity!
Your aspiring servant
Jason
Jaya Srila Prabhupada!
HpS - !! Hare Krsna... If you have been steady in your Japa, 4-principles, passed the disciple course and have a letter of thumbs-up from Temple President, then yes, you should be initiated. Any Diksa guru in Iskcon is just a little representative of Srila Prabhupada and he may be only a minor Siksa guru to his Diksa disciples. Usually there is a natural concurrence of Diksa guru as a Siksa guru.
So, when we get back to Houston, March 7th, or sooner if don't resolve our visa problem, then we could have initiation ceremony in Houston for Jason and a local couple.
Swaaa Haaa!
What do you do in Krsna Kulture?
Tomorrow is Gita Jayanti!
