Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabupad, Guru Maharaj and Gauranga.
Kindly accept our greetings for your Appearance day.
Just a small offering to depict that how I was living closer to Krsna temple and then we had to move to a place which was far away from the temple. Although, I was praying to Krsna to move me there only if there was a purpose of my stay, I would still become sad that I wasn't able to visit temple that often. Sooner, your and Krsna's blessings, a western preaching program called 'Mantra Meditation' sessions took off the ground and started to engage with local city council to help the local community. It is almost a year since this program has started, both at my office and also at my local community. Both places are doing well. Local council is supporting me by the mercy of you and Krishna. Next month, we will be celebrating the first year anniversary of 'Mantra Meditation' both at my office and in my town. This celebration will be our offering to your Appearance day. I attempted to attach some pictures from the regular sessions but it is giving me error message.
My little offering as below.
My offering:
Your comings in my dreams make my day,
Though I realise don't I have a say;
To the place where we moved,
My heart became hard and sad,
Neither the place was bad
nor I became mad,
Just the fact I wasn't living any closer to Krsna made me fade;
Sooner that I confess,
My mind was making a mess;
You and Krsna became closer than ever,
I pray that, that feeling should end never;
You are guiding me through,
and my love to you is so true;
I was sure there was a purpose for my stay,
That fact took my sadness away;
I found jobs to do,
for giving Krsna in blue!
Thank you Guru Maharaj for your presence,
and that makes my existence!
May you live long,
Then my life will become strong;
All glories to you!
Happy Appearance day!
Yours,
Vanamali Acyuta Das,
Isvari LakshmiPriya Devi Dasi
