Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja
Pleased accept my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Today is a very auspicious day! Guru Mahārāja’s Vyāsa-pūjā specially for all his loving disciples.
From last so many years I have been hearing glories of Gm from so many amazing god brothers and sisters and learning so many things from each of them on how to progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Guru Mahārāja has so many wonderful qualities. The main quality that I like the most is determination and patience to deal with so many disciples of different frequencies and energy.
With two kids my energy goes down. All glories to Guru Mahārāja for keeping the same mood since morning till night inspite of so many physical difficulties and challenges that he is facing that normal person like me can’t even tolerate 1% of it.
We complain for not being able to do devotional service if there is a headache or any distraction from outside forces like kids fighting, in-laws’ trouble, neighbors quarreling etc but Guru Mahārāja is so resilient in spite of so many outside forces like politics, rogues and different religious orgs trying to distract him
Taking care of ISKCON and its millions of members after Prabhupāda’s disappearance was not a joke. He alone took the entire weight of ISKCON on his two shoulders. No matter what the situation is you are always patient. Sādhū’s first quality is not matter what the situation but patience.
Sometimes I am worried when crowd of devotees run towards you to take your darśana so that they don’t accidentally hurt you. I get agitated seeing overpouring of love of people but you are so calm in the chaos. I pray that I am able to get 0.1% if that patience and determination to keep going and following your GM instructions no matter what situation is thrown at you!
