Ajita Krsna dasa and Sobhamayi devi dasi
Most Respected Guru Maharaja,
Hare Krsna. Please accept our most humble obeisances at the dust of your divine lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
In his ship diary Srila Prabhupada wrote.
“ I have left Bharata-bhumi just to execute the order of Sri Bhaktisiddhanta Sraswati in pursuance of Lord Caitanya’s order. I have no qualification but I have taken up the risk just to carry out the order of His
Divine Grace. I depend fully on their mercy so far away from Vrndavana.“
Srila Prabhupada went to fulfill the great compassionate mission of Lord Caitanya which was received in disciplic succession.
In his prayer Srila Prabhupada wrote:
“Most of the population here is covered by the material modes of ignorance and passion. Absorbed in material life they think themselves very happy and satisfied and therefore they have no taste for transcendental message of Vasudeva. I do not know how they will be able to understand it.”
In spite of seeing the very miserable and hopeless condition he kept faith in the words of Lord Caitanya and his spiritual master and the mercy he received in disciplic succession.
He loved those who came to him and cared for them. He could give a shelter which no one ever had given them. That is Krsna’s shelter.
We are experiencing the loving shelter that is preserved in disciplic succession handed down to us through our teachers Sir and Mataji. Sir, has taken every word from you and Srila Prabhupada’s books as his life and soul and your every blessing and encouragement or correction of him as the most priceless jewel and personal instruction for life. Just appreciating the fortune that we have received is liberating us, what to speak of actually developing even a fraction of such faith in Guru and Krsna.
On this auspicious day we beg for your mercy to act in a manner that we can give pleasure to parampara. Please accept our most humble obeisances at the dust of your divine lotus feet.
Your aspiring servants,
