Guest guest Posted May 15, 2002 Report Share Posted May 15, 2002 One must read the book "Free to Preach" written by HG Prema Padmini Mataji. It is a most wonderful book, and one can really understand, what is varna, asrama, brahmacarya, bhakti etc, everything in the right *perspective*. It is a very small book. Should be able to finish reading in about 3 hours, even at a slow pace. This mataji as I see is definitely not an ordinary soul. She has created Brahmachari Asramas, and personally trained brahmacaries, in brahmacarya, right at her residence (Temple!!), keeping them at home for months, batch after batch. Waking them up at 3-00AM, training them in attending mangalarati, and the entire temple program exactly like in any ISKCON temple around the world. She has personally trained hundreds of brahmacaries, in personal sadhana. And these brahmacaries are all working men engineers, managers, carpenters, fitters, drivers etc,.. She with the co-operation of her husband, HG Vijaya Venugopal Prabhu, has build up the Yatra from 2 to 2000, in about less than 8 years. Ofcourse it is a great team work, but due credit to her leadership and due credit to her entire team / yatra. Once again it is proved sincerety is the key, and to enter or join the bhakti school, no caste, creed or gender is the criterian. I seek a speck of dust from the lotus feet of HG Prema Padmini Mataji, that, I may also like her, follow very rigidly all the strict sadhana principles staying at home, and able to preach to the extant possible. Note: HG Vijaya Venu Gopal Prabhu, and HG Prema Padmini Mataji are ISKCON global award winners for preaching the year before the last. Your humble servant, Bhadra Govinda Dasa. >Your servant, >Mahat-tattva dasa >> >> Your humble servant, >> Prema Padmini dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
