Hare Krsna,
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, The savior of the whole world.
It has been sometime that i wanted to show my gratitute to one of the persons who have deeply touched my life. So today i am finally writting something in his honour.
Not long ago i was put to a test of maya, Lord Krsna's illusionary energy and by the divine arrangements of Lord Krsna. As Krsna is sitting in everyone's heart as supersoul he inspired a person who helped me that situation. It was about my visit to canada. I was not mature enough in Krsna Consciousness at that time. Although I was told by my devotee friend to delay my journey by 6 months but i was so much excited that i had booked all my tickets. I had my own plans what i will be doing and how i will proceeding to the new world, the land of opportunity, the green pastures. It was a dream that came true to go to west. I didn't realize that this world is full of miseries. It's just that we don't realize on account of being in ignorance considering that our material situation would be able to save us from the laws of nature.
My karma or whatever but i was in fix when i came to know that i would be returning to india without getting much success in material life. I just came to west and so early i was leaving. I felt my whole career has been put to risk. Although i was trying to practice Krsna Consciousness. It was becoming difficult to chant my rounds, fix up mind, i was getting frustrated and angery, relations were being spoiled and i was on a meltdown point.
And at that time, he came and consoled me, listened to me for hours together,loved with me like his own childern, he was very empathatic to me, tolerant. Although he wasn't practicing Krsna Consciousness but he was very much favorable to my KC. He was the person who took me to temple and never mind coming late at night to pick me up from my college and my work. He inspired me and gave me courage to continue on the path of KC.
He is my beloved and dearmost chacha ji (father's younger brother). Although there were devotee who were in contact and giving me consolation in difficult time and requesting to stick to the process of Krsna Cons. and accept whatever is coming as Krsna's mercy. The happiness and distress are predetermined so there is nothing to lament or enjoy about the gains and loss in the life. Just like the distress comes without any hardwork so does the happiness comes. However i felt that Krsna has specifically selected him to help me out.
He has actually protected my Krsna Consc. I still remember. I was discussing with him that how things have changed so dramtically that it's difficult to accept and i was disappointed with what was happening. He replied that he has called me to help me out to see his people around him. To have his brothers and sisters around but what to do.
So by will of providence the things have turned out differently totally differently to what i thought when i came here. At that time i realized it's actually our karma and it's result that we are getting. No body is to be blamed for our situation. We do so many things and forget considering that nobody is noticing it and we get the result and then we become bewildered and consider it's others who are inflicting sufferings upon us but actually it's the fruit that we have got for the seed that we haven sown and forgotten.
So i felt really grateful to him that he has kindly helped me. When i see myself in KC i noticed he's one of the persons who has deeply touched my life. I noticed that he's very tolerant. I use to get angry when i deal with certain situation but i learnt from him to be tolerant and of course without Krsna's causeless mercy it wasn't possible.
Now i am different person trying to be more dedicate to Srila Prabhupada moment and appreciating everyone's good qualities as Srila Prabhupada often quote even if the gold is in filthy place pick it up.
I would pray to Krsna who is very merciful to His devotees, to shower His blessing upon him and give him shelter of His Lotus feet.
