Yasoda devi dasi
Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances onto your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and you!
The waves with their incredible power never stop and never turn back. All-consuming time has a fixed rule that material nature cannot destroy. Unconsciously six years have passed recalling the special day of September 29, 2017 when my sisters and I were initiated by Spiritual Father–you.
Since then, my spiritual life has begun, with daily sadhana (japa, reading Srila Prabhupada’s books) added recently simple arati every morning. Every day, I communicate with Tusta devi dasi, she completes 16 circles of japa every day and sometimes does more. Two aunts in their community have also chanted for nearly a year under the guidance of my mother. Sometimes they take the beads to my mother’s home to chant together, the old father also chants every day does not get to 16 circles yet. Their health is OK. All these are due to the mercy of the Supreme Lord and the blessing and love of the spiritual father. The whole family had a good change in character and personality, and has become much more peaceful and calmer, no longer as much anxiety and impatience as before. With the passing of time, my parents and I are more confident, my faith is clear, and every day I am in the seva. On Saturday I can participate in a group association.
Some time ago, I suddenly had an idea in my heart, and I observed my childhood friends and classmates around me. They are also grandparents, some of them are younger, even 30, 40 year old people. They are idle all day as if full of hope for life, optimistic and happy. I saw their circle of friends on WeChat. They are busy in the material life of various entertainment venues, playing mahjong, playing cards, KTV, food, traveling, enjoy the so-called happiness. They are interested in various provinces and cities, enjoy the pleasure, and change multiple dresses in a few hours. I began to worry about them. I practice Krsna consciousness which is to save fallen souls in the material world. I tried to fellowship with them several times, not much was gained due to my limited knowledge and poor expression skills. Yet, I am confident because I taught two of them to chant japa in the past few years and one of them chants at least two hours a day.
On the occasion of the auspicious Vyasa-puja of my dear spiritual father, I sincerely and humbly pray for the blessings of Srila Prabhupada and you -my spiritual father. Please give me the wisdom so that I can guide them in a way that they can understand and clean the dust in their hearts. Hope they can receive this greatest blessings.
Wish you good health and preaching smoothly!
Your disciple,
