Karunamayī Devī Dāsī

Please Prabhupada, accept my most humble and very, very unworthy obeisances at Your blooming lotus feet. By Your grace only can one be freed from the duality and frustration born of this material world, and again engage my fallen self in the service of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna. By Your causeless mercy, so many fallen souls are now regaining their memories and beginning to understand that this mind and false ego entangles one more and more to this weary material world. But by the sweet chanting of Hare Krsna the living entity becomes so enlivened and again gets a taste of it natural blissful state of existence. So even here one can revive pure love for Sri Krsna the beautiful cowherd boy, then no longer is this place considered to be miserable, but it is Vrndavana where Krsna is playing so nicely with His transcendental companions.

You are so kind to us Prabhupada for giving us Krsna and by Krsna's mercy He has sent from the spiritual sky Your Divine Self. Your children have been showered with an endless amount of good fortune. You have so kindly saved us from leading the lives of cats and dogs where there is total confusion and ignorance. If we hadn't been guided by Supersoul to bring us into contact with the pure devotee of the Lord Your children would be descending into very hellish conditions. But now look, we are becoming joyful again. Please Prabhupada help me develop a seriousness for Krsna consciousness and a service attitude. I'm finally feeling a bit of gratefulness and much unworthiness for this gift of love of Godhead. I have given nothing and You have gifted myself with the most perfect knowledge, Sri Krsna, the Absolute Truth.

All glories to Your Divine Loving Grace.
