from Krisangi Rasa Dasi – Ukraine, Uzhgorod

Dear Srila Gurudeva,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Madhava! Please accept my obeisances.

On this day of your appearance, I am immensely grateful to the Lord! you came here to help Srila Prabhupada`s mission and save us, conditioned souls. This is a great happiness and blessings, that this mercy also poured on me. I am praying to the Lord, to be useful in your mission.

This is the first time happened in this year, that we can`t see you personally, but as you always say: “It’s not my body that matters, it’s important that all my disciples are attached to my instructions and listen to my lectures”. And by your grace, we can see you almost every day online. Thank you very much!

Of course, this will not replace personal association, but we began to appreciate even more those unforgettable moments from Polish Tour and festivals, where we could serve all together with you. Your lectures are very supportive in these difficult times, and each one has something different. But since the beginning of this pandemic, I personally have strengthened the faith in the Lord, I saw on a personal example, how He supports us, and I am sure, this is, because of your prayers for us! Thank you! You are sharing such secrets that sometimes even a person with a firm heart sheds tears. This happens if one carefully listens to your lectures. Thanks you!

This year was not standard for me. If I look from outside It seems to me, that I did nothing in devotional service, because after I got married I had to move to another place where there are almost no devotees and no service. And now, I have to stay abroad, where there is no society of devotees at all. I can no longer serve in Kiev temples as before, and I am very grateful that I had this opportunity, to personally serve the Deities of Sri Sri Gaura Nitai and Sri Sri Radha Madhava. And it seemed to me, like I was left without service. But then I realized, I think it happened because of listening to your lectures, that it was all externally. Now we need to go deep inside and see Krsna everywhere, and never stop serving. Now my main service, is to take care of my husband and deepen my sadhana. We are slowly learning with my husband, how to arrange our life around devotional service to Lord Krsna having an altar in the house. I also understand, that in the grihastha asram sooner or later will appear kids, to whom I should give knowledge of Krsna and give as much motherly love as possible. Therefore, I am actively studying on this thematic. Of course, this is all by your grace, and I pray to become a good wife and mother, if this is my duty, and continue to serve the Lord and give all the fruits to you and Him.

May Lord Nrsimhadev always protect you! Thank you, for praying for us, and we pray for you as we can, so that your desires in serving Prabhupada will be fulfilled. May the disciples, always make you happy! Thank you for your immeasurable love for us! I don’t know if I can ever really realize how happy I am that I can follow your instructions and serve in ISKCON. Thank you a lot! All Glory to you!

Your servant, Krisangi Rasa Dasi
