Homage to his divine grace, TKG and the future.

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees,

It has been a few weeks after the shock of one of

our very own departing so suddenly, violently and without notice.

Vaisnavas do not lament but we feel the pangs of seperation even though

we know this seperation is only temporary. As the grief subsides to a

bearable proportion it is time we ponder upon the BIG picture, whats

next.

Providence has submitted to the supreme divine will

and the future of ISKCON will be as predicted by the supreme architect

Maha-Prabhu. His desire will be done and it is for us to step up. TKG was

a pillar and his absence will always remain as a vacum, he has completed

his glorious journey and now it is for the rest of us to carry on. It is

Prabhupada's desire that this Hare KRSNA movement must move on and that

means all of us have to do our part. Our best homage to TKG should and

must be to fulfill Maha Prabhu's mission

KRSNA is cognizant of our predicament and like a

dear most friend in time of our need we are assured of his guidence.He

will never fail or desert us and no matter how inconceivable his act

might seem stay mono focused on his lotus feet. His lotus feet are the

supreme destination and their in also dwells all the answers. The

compassionate Lord knows our past, present and future, what he does could

never be cruel or horrible and in the end he will lead us not to despair

but to victory.

Please join me as I seek guidance in a Vaisnava

prayer:

 

Dear KRSNA Lord, I do not know how to craft a good

prayer but you being compassionate and merciful please hear me by your

causeless mercy. We are souls surrendered unto you, we are your devotees,

we know of no one but you and in time of need we turn to no one but

you,so please lead us. All of us are not perfect, some of us are not pure

and many of us are fallen and yet by your causeless mercy your light

shine on all of us. Some of us are strong and some of us are weak and yet

you direct all of us. You are our hope and you are the answer to our

prayers. You bestowed upon us the love of you by desending as Maha

Prabhu, you have chosen the most fallen in this age of Kali to save, so

please make us fulfill your desire.

Dear KRSNA Lord,You are completely free to do what

ever you wish. You can send us to hell, keep us on earth, take us to

heaven or take us back to home. We only pray that where ever we are we

maintain our unflinching faith and unalloyed devotion in and for you

eternally. Whether you treat us gently or violently we are and shall

remain your faithful servant ONLY. So Dear Lord lead us to that for which

you have chosen us and make us fulfill your desire.

Dear KRSNA Lord, You led Arjuna to surpass

insurmountable difficulties, he was illusioned and You destroyed it, he

refused to fight and you showed him the truth, You gave him the freedom

and he choose to fight and in the end you delivered him victory. You led

him all the way. You are the Supreme divine will and you are the cause of

all causes, so dear Lord make us fulfill your desire.

Dear KRSNA Lord, it is your promise that your

Devotees will never be vanquished and it is you as Maha Prubhu predicted

that in every town and village in the world your glories will be sung. So

please make us fulfill your desire.

As Srila Prabhupada used to say " IT WILL BE

DONE AS KRSNA DESIRES" and we say " IT WILL BE DONE AS PRABHUPADA

DESIRES" and Goswami Maharaj will perhaps have it in no other way.
