The greatest Devotee I got to know

[Guest guest]

This story does not shed the best light on me but it depicts my honor for

the greatest devotee I got to know in my estimation.

Her name is Karma Saksi Devi Dasi and she used to be the Pujari in Laguna

Beach, California, I do not know if she is still amongst us because she is

in her 70ies or 80ies.

She used to conduct the Mangala Aarti every day and be a very humble and

kindhearted person.

I developed a tobacco addiction due to some circumstances, and she started

to offer Swiss Herb Candies to the Deities and give them to me to cover up

the scent, I did not ask her for it and she did not judge me, but she felt

for even while I was not even a Vaisnava in most devotees eyes.

Subsequently I had to leave Laguna Beach not because of this but personal

motives of the management but she was still feeding me with Prasadam when I

lost my passport and had no more place to stay and the Manager who was like

my father before pretended not to know me anymore, his former best man.

I will always remember the loyalty of this woman and her commitment to

unconditional care for the souls.
