Rohini Prema devi dasi

Dear Most Respected Srila Romapada Swami Maharaja,

Please accept my most humble obeisances at Your Divine Grace lotus feet. All glories to Sri guru-parampara, Srila Prabhupada and Your divine grace.

With the best possible attempts to gather my faculties of mind, body and words given to me by The Lord, I wish to express my gratitude for Your Divine Grace’s presence in my life. The intention is to be able to embrace the chanting of the Holy Names of The Supreme Lord as propagated by The Movement of Lord Caitanya with focus for my spiritual interest’s fulfillment in this life. Please bless me that I may share my heart’s transformative effect due to Your Divine Grace’s kindness showered upon me all these years.

The moment I came across the ‘Hare Krsna” maha-mantra in The Science of Self Realization Book, I started practicing chanting whenever I thought of it. And slowly by the association of devotees in my life, I started chanting with beads. Somehow my spiritual master bestowed his merciful appearance in my life. Later with the touch of Your Divine Grace’s mercy my husband and my parents became devotees. My spiritual life has taken its toll for some time. Still, Krsna is so kind to His devotees, though I have not yet become a devotee, He kindly accepted my feeble chanting and helped me in every way possible to keep taking shelter of His holy names, which is the solution for all problems of life.

Dear Maharaja, I truly became a recipient of Your Divine Grace’s compassion soon when I felt I was taking shelter of the holy names. I was guided towards my diksa-guru from within my heart and I considered it a benediction of fruits of my all-devotional piety of being in Your Divine Grace association. I am still in the process of purification from my lust, anger, pride and envy. But I know that I am on the right path and if I continue to take association of devotees under the guidance of my mentors and spiritual preceptors, I am surely going to get to the goal that the Hare Krsna maha-mantra has in store for me.

Thank you so much for without your help, I wouldn’t have done it alone. Lots of seminars, retreats, personal association and many via medium of transparent love and care I have received in Your Divine Grace association. I feel comfortable in practicing my devotional service unto Krsna. While I am trying to serve without offense the devotees and the holy name, I can only understand that I am unable to do it. I need the mercy of a pure devotee of Krsna. It’s very humbling to know that Krsna is so far away but very encouraging to find the shelter in the devotees of the Lord who are near to me.

Your divine grace instructions still resonate within me, “Take care of my health, respect all Vaisnavas and hear when I can” out of many such life transforming instructions. My heart has been transformed by taking good counsel from my husband in times of any bewildering situation with respect to maintaining devotee friendly relationships. I am blessed that Your Divine Grace has given me what any women needs in her life, a loving sincere husband striving to become a good devotee and beautiful children whom Your Divine Grace brought back to life from many atrocities committed. I am forever grateful to Your Divine Grace for being present in my life because without love amongst each other that we have been receiving in our lives, we wouldn’t have made it to this level of Krsna consciousness.

I continue to pray at Your Divine Grace lotus feet that we all serve Your Divine Grace, all our spiritual preceptors and contribute in some way to the movement of Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you very much Maharaja. Hare Krsna.

Your aspiring servant,
