From Radha-rasamayi dasi – Ukraine, Dnepro

Dear Srila Gurudeva
Please, accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Everything you do on this planet is service to your dear spiritual master, all your dreams are to satisfy our dear Srila Prabhupada and Shri Sri Radha-Krishna, thank you for this perfect example.
Thank you for generously sharing with us the deep knowledge and details of the spiritual world that awaken Krishna conciseness and ecstatic love for the Divine Couple in our hearts.
We are sure, that your precious lectures, infused with the nectar of devotion, will be an invaluable gift for many generations.
You care a lot about your disciples and well-wishers and you kindly invite us to visit the holly places, which are the most dear for our beloved Lord Krishna and our Acharyas.
Thanks to your mercy I had a tremendous wish to come to Vrindavan for Kartika Parikramas program 2022. But because of the war I had so many obsticsls to get to Vrindavan from Ukraine. I prayed to you from all my heart and all issues with tickets, visa, vacation permit, place to stay, etc were solved and finally my best friend and I found ourselves at the airport in Europe being sure that all difficulties are behind us. But, during registration for the flight they asked us to register on Indian Covid Vaccination Certificate Control Site. We tried several time but some technical problem didn’t let us finish this registration. We could’t do anything but pray and 10 minutes before the closing of the check-in for the flight, we received a confirmation from the Indian site and we were allowed to go further.
Once again, we thought that all the obstacles to flying to Delhi were behind us. But it was not to be. They asked me to show the original of my temporary residency permit in Germany. But I didn’t bring the original with me so as not to accidentally lose it in India, and I only had a copy of the document. It took about minutes to clarify whether they could let me through. That time seemed like an eternity to me, and in those minutes, so much of my life flashed before my eyes. Then I began to pray to You, imagine Your holy feet, and ask for Your help. I was ready to humbly accept the situation if they refused to let me through, but my heart longed to go to Vrindavan. I prayed to You, Srila Prabhupada, Vrinda Devi, Lord Shiva, and most importantly to Srimati Radharani, the queen of Vrindavan, for without Their mercy, it is impossible to enter Vrindavan, even if you try to arrange the trip properly.
In the final minutes, I received permission to fly to Delhi. It was a miracle for me and I know that It happened because of your blessings.
Thanks to your enormous and generous mercy and the kindness of our dear Srila Prabhupada’s heart I had a chance to visit 8 unforgettable and incredibly important Kartika Parikramas. I couldn’t stay more than 10 days in Vrindavan because I had 16 days vacation but because of war it took us 6-7 days to get from Ukraine to Vrindavan and come back. But every day in Vrindavan in association with pure devotees is the priceless gifts we can only get in our life and I am immensely grateful to you Srila Gurudeva for this opportunity.
I still remember your lectures about great Saint persons: Touch Byvi, Karmayti Biy, Rasa Khant, whose samadhi we visited and prayed for their blessing to have at least a drop of their taste for devotional service and determination in serving their dearest Deities.
Your auspicious kirtans snd kirtans of Badahary Prabhu, Shishtakrit Prabhu and unforgettable dance of a 4 years incredible talented girl which melted my heart deeply and a wonderful Govardhan Puja celebration in Vyjayanthi ashram Gyan Gudri. Thank you so much, dear Gurudeva for these priceless moments in my life.
Now I am in Dnepro. Walking in the city center, I often remember the last Harinama and Ratha Yatira with your participation in 2019.
You have blessed all citizens of Dnepro with your festivals Param-Gati , Harinamad and Ratha-yātrā for many years.
Many people of our city have heard the sounds of your unforgettable ecstatic kirtan and were blessed.
Thank you so much for this mercy. We remember and missing them so much here.
We wish you good health, happiness and enthusiasm in serving our dearest Shrilla Prabhupada as you always do.
I am eternally indebted for everything you did for me, Dear Shrila.
Your eternal servant, Radha-rasamayi dasi
