Premamaya Gopeśa dāsa (Balarāma Deśa - Middle East)

Om ajnana timirandhasya jnananjana salakaya caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namah

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my respectful obeisances. I would like to share one of my realisation today as an offering to you Gurumaharaj. This was the precise time on the day of Gaura Purnima in 2019. After our Initiation ceremony which was held at Sridham mayapur on the 19th of March 2019, on the Gaura Purnima day myself and my wife Subhangi Sugopi devi dasi reached Lotus building to have our break fast dinner prasadam at 2nd floor after performing the abhisekham in the open ground. While walking towards the Lotus building, I was constantly thinking of buying a pair of Narsimha oil bottles for my mother on the way back after prasadam. It was necessary for me to buy that for her as she is a paralysed patient since 2016 here at Bahrain. Since I had to leave mayapur on the same day at mid night  around 11.30 PM, I was running short of time so was mentally thinking to buy at least one bottle of Narsimha Oil. While i was thinking and climbing the staircase of Lotus building, we met some of the devotees who were serving you Gurumaharaj and they happened to ask us from where are we. When we said Balaram Desa, they immediately directed us to the terrace floor where breakfast dinner was arranged by you Gurumaharaj. We said them, we would be having dinner at 2nd floor only but then they forced us to go to terrace floor saying that Balaram desa devotees should go to terrace floor only.

By your mercy Gurumaharaj, we had a very grand fasting prasadam on that day. The moment we entered the terrace floor, we were greeted by garlanding with Narsimha Pavitra thread and we were also given with a basket containing a gift hamper from your side Gurumaharaj. There after we had your darshan and took your blessings for travelling back to Balaram desa. It was so blissful to meet you on that day Gurumaharaj. After coming down, i searched for some gift shops to buy the Narsimha oil but then being the fast breaking time almost all the shops were closed for the day and I could not get the same. I thought i missed the opportunity of not collecting the same before hand as I was supposed toleave the same night.

Thereafter we reached t our room and started packing our bags for our departure. We opened the gift hamper given at the terrace floor before prasadam, and to our surprize, we could see one bottle of Narsimha Oil, a packet of Ganga sand and one bottle of Gangajal. This leela with you Gurumaharaj shocked me. I could then realize, why Krishna made us meet the devotees personally serving you at the Lotus Building stairs and why were we directed to Terrace floor... It was only because of we had to get your mercy Gurumaharaj, It was only you who could realise that after having dinner prasadm, we would not be able to find a bottle of Narsimha oil bottle as shops would close by then and actually we got the same as a direct mercy from you. We offrered our obiesances and thanked you Gurumaharaj and then left Mayapur for returning back to Bahrain. We could realise what has been mentioned in the purports by Srila Prabhupada in Bhagvad Gita that "The spiritual master is the representative of the Supreme Lord, his direction is directly the direction of the Supreme Lord" . The direction given by devotees for us to see you at Lotus building was actually your plan Gurumaharaj as what I was meditating in my mind while on the staircase was actually santioned by the Supreme lord through the mercy from you Gurumaharaj.

We seek your blessings on the occasion of Vyaspuja so that we continue to serve you in your mission to serve Srila Prabhupada.

Your Humble Servant
