from Sri Guru Carana Padma Dasi – United States, Wheeling

Dear Srila Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Today is Your Vyasa Puja. A special day, to dedicate to You even
more.

I am a very lucky child. Because I met my Spiritual Father quite early in life, It happened twenty nine years ago. Krishna and Srila Prabhupada showered a causeless mercy on me, a lost soul. Since early childhood I was searching for meaning. And when I got in touch with Bhagavad Gita and ISKCON movement, most of my questions were answered.

Once I shared with You about a unique Spiritual Experience, which brought me to You in September of 1991. That moment is very dear to me and I always remember it. There is a saying in Russian language: “To live your life is nothing like crossing a field”. And from that moment in 1991, You are guiding me in every tough moment of my life, and You are carefully guiding me and my family in each step of our life journey, our Krishna Consciousness journey.

We have been lucky to do a personal service to You, to travel with You. And as I am writing this offering, I feel the desire to devote some time to write all the memories about sweet moments of association with You.

My heart is filled with love and gratitude. I can’t separate my life from service to You. I pray to Krishna and Nrsimha for Your protection.

I prostate myself under Your Lotus feet with the prayer of Your constant flowing mercy and with a prayer to satisfy You in my service.

Your unworthy servant,
Sri Guru Carana Padma Dasi
