THE POTENCY OF GURU PARAMPARA

12 years, 6 months ago by bhaktanicasio

Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada,
All glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami,

    Today i feel especially happy. This process of bhakti yoga is so wonderful.
Last month I was feeling not to good, as you know due to excesive working, making so many plans and stress I developed facial palsy, today I can tell i´m 70% recovered.

     I was meditating about my miserable life, working so much, how difficult is to engage my family in KC, being unable of organizing the interfaith program and how bad my sadhana was, feeling so depressed cause i couldnt reach the standard every serious bhakti yogui must have. Although i´m chanting 16 rounds most of the days, some were so intense that i couldnt do it ( i plan to recover them while in india). But today I heard your offering to Srila Prabhupada on his Vyasa Puja and what I have read many times in NOI by your mercy today got deep in my heart. Since the last  two years I barely associate with non devotees and I realized that my time is spent in working, being with my family or with the amazing devotees of the lord,  sharing symptoms of love described in chapter 4. Then I remembered the words of Srila Prabhupada in the Krsna book chapter the salvation of trinavarta “By developing his eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord, one becomes eligible to create friendship with the devotees” and finally what I heard from you in another occasion quoting Jayananda prabhu´s words that really humility is to understand one´s position. So gurudeva by your huge mercy today my faith in this process has increased, I feel so fortunate of  having the association of the vaisnavas.
    I can see that this process is perfect and everything is in Srila Prabhupada`s books and that I only see obstacles and difficulties due to my imperfect practice. I´m willing to accept my position and with patience make efforts to advance in KC so I can render some service to you and to our beloved Srila Prabhupada.
  One question. As our relationship with guru and Krisna are eternal is eternal also our relationship with the vaisnavas being jiva tattva?

ASA - HpS - AgtSP.      Paoho.      So nice to hear from you and the love amongst the devotees in Plata del Mar, Argentina!     As we understand, our relations as Vaisnavas now are like people in a mental hospital helping each other get free from our insanity and also serving Krsna together in the hospital. When we leave we go to our original homes, services, which may be for one in Vaikuntha, another in Ayodhya, another in Nanda-grama, another in Vrndavana...   So, we always remember our sojurn in the material world in some way and especially when we were struggling to return to Krsna and it's an eternal part of our current service attitude to Krsna. BG says that that which is eternal always exists.  This is our comprehension.

ASA - HpS - We are also struggling to become your servant. As far as we can tell you are doing O.K.    Just have to struggle according to NOI Three.
