Padmamalini devi dasi
Dear Guru Maharaja!
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!
Dear Gurudeva, my dream of meeting you face-to-face that I have been thinking about day and night has been fulfilled! That moment was like reunion for me after a long separation, tears running down my face. I had a thousand words to tell you, but I was choked up and speechless saying nothing at all.
Listening to your teachings over the past few days has made great progress in my spirituality. Especially on the second day, everyone chanted the holy name 64 rounds. I was worried because I had never chanted so many rounds before, but when many of us chanted together we unconsciously chanted one after another. I felt the power of chanting the holy name together. I felt focused with my attention on only beads and holy name in my heart. There was a light of inspiration in the body, image of contemplating on Guru Maharaja, and Lord Krsna were very clear and visible. Feeling like I had been lost for a long time, looking for my parents and loved ones crying with tears filled eyes, I called out to the holy name of the Lord – Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, go back home. This state persisted for a long time without stopping crying.
Grateful – Through your example, thieves and even murderers have the opportunity to improve, while those who are not grateful do not. They are incurable.
I will faithfully follow your instructions, focus on chanting, and listen to every lecture you give. Strive to continuously improve my Krsna consciousness!
I wish you all good luck, good health and a happy Vyasa-puja under the shelter of Lord Krsna! Once again, I wish you happiness as long as the East China Sea, longer than the south mountain pine!
Hare Krsna!
Your disciple, servant’s servant,
