Madana-mohana dasa
Respected Maharaja,
Hare Krsna! Please accept my most humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to you and Srila Prabhupada!
Maharaja, on the auspicious occasion of your Vyasa-puja I want to share my gratitude to you for showing us how to practice the theory of Krsna consciousness in the workshop of our lives. After accepting the Krsna consciousness process for even a short period, one more or less understands the theory of it. When we try to live that philosophy in our day to day lives, we need inspiring examples who are already doing it.
An acarya teaches us by his own example. The example part is important. On this day I am feeling grateful to you for being that example in the day-to-day execution of Krsna conscious philosophy in my life, and in so many other lives. Your constant moment-by-moment engagement in Krsna consciousness activities is what inspires me very much. A leader leads by showing the path by the torch light of his own example.
When you visit us, apart from the instructive and deep lectures, what inspires me is the way you conduct yourself. Every moment of yours is so very deeply filled with Krsna consciousness. As it is said just by observing a Vaisnava in the act of rendering devotional service one gets drawn to the flow of Krsna conscious current, and thus his difficulties and obstacles vanish just like that.
On this very auspicious occasion, I pray to Lord Krsna to give me the intelligence and courage to be guided by your example, and thus assist my family members in their Krsna consciousness.
Thanking you profusely for being the inspiring example in my life.
Your aspiring servant,
Madana-mohana dasa
