Vyasapuja offering
Hare Krsna Hanumatpresaka Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you.
I mentioned in my previous post the vyasapuja ceremony we held for you in Denver. It was very nice.
I very much appreciated how you connected aspects of japa with the homunculus. I never knew that japa engages the largest sensory areas of the brain in such a way, and that is a practical scientific way to show that japa helps to fix the mind on the names in many ways.
I think it is very valuable how you connect the intellectual and philosophic with the spiritual to make it practical for some to begin to see the spiritual reality from the sankhya platform, so that they may further see beyond it.
As far as I have seen, you have mastered the art of preaching according to time, place, and circumstance. At colleges, it is Sankhya only and strictly. At large gatherings including those new to the movement, you preach to what their hearts can accept. And to close gatherings of devotees, we may hear the mercy of deeper realizations.
I feel very blessed and eternally lucky to have had your personal association and the chance to serve you. You are indeed the ocean of mercy, and ecstatic prema emanates from you, that is how it feels being in your presence. As far as this fallen soul is concerned, you are the savior of mankind.
I do not feel qualified to serve you or to do anything good, but somehow or other, by your mercy, I hope that I can someday help people become Krishna conscious -- starting with myself, by your mercy only. I would not be where I am now or as fixed in my mangala arati and service without your mercy and inspiration, but I can only try to express my gratitude. I met you when I just began recovering from a traumatic experience where I could not eat and nearly left my body. I am much better now and hope to continue to improve, that is the mercy of guru.
Hoping to remain at your lotus feet to become less fallen,
Bhakta David II
