Humble request to return

[Guest guest]

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! All glories to Srila

Prabhupada and all Vaisnavas. Please accept my humble obeisances and

blessings. I pray that this meets you well and in the service/mercy

of Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga.

 

Dearest Devotees of the Lord;

 

Please forgive my long absence from your austiere presence. I have

been sick with the kidneys and have had to give up your wonderful

association to be mindful of my health. My Doctor's have desired

that I give up my ministry, but I have refused because the Lord's

work is more important than the benefits of keeping this mortal body

together.

 

I have continued to read your wonderful posts. Such sweet nectar

that comes forth from the Lord's children! I offer my humble

obeisances to each of your beautiful lotus feet, millions of times I

bow down before the assembly of Vaisnavas, humbly begging for your

mercy to continue on in the work that Sri Nityananda has mercifully

set before me. Although I am completely unworthy to even mention the

Lord's most Holy Names, I continue to chant without ceasing for your

benefit, that you may attain moksha in this lifetime.

 

Please pray to Lord Gauracandra, asking that I may be of some humble

service to the community of devotees, for without this boon, this

life is not worth carring on, and I would rather return home, back to

Godhead to sit at the lotus feet of the Lord and Srila Prabhupada.

 

For the wonderful devotees of this group, I would ask that you

continue on in the mercy of the Lord, no matter where on the ladder

of devotional service you may be. My dearest Balaji Prabhuji, your

heart is in the correct place, I would ask that you continue on in

your quest for this eternal knowledge that only resides at the lotus

feet of the Lord. While others may view your words as harsh,

sometimes we need the harsh and uneducated words of a neophyte to

keep us in humility and correct judgement. I welcome your words as I

welcome the Lord's harsh treatments of this mortal body, for both are

to lead us to a more complete understanding of the Lord's mercy and

loving embrace. I would humbly ask more advanced devotees to ponder

deeper the words of my beloved Balaji Prabhu, for what on the serface

may appear as apparadha is not, but the Lord's tender hand leading us

more firmly to think and delve deeper into His mysteries. Please be

patient with dear Balaji as he also learns the ways of the Vaisnava,

and his ettiquite is not perfected.

 

My Dearest Sanjeev Prabhuji, please continue to teach, you have a

wonderful talent. Your words of wisdom in teaching the Srimad

Bhagavad-Gita is without measure. You are a strong pillar in this

group, and so many rest in your strength. I know that you take much

upon your shoulders, but please continue on in the Lord's mercy and

in the ministry that He has granted to you, you are such a blessing

to so many, whether you realize it or not.

 

To all the wonderful devotees, so many of you have blessed my heart.

Forgive me if I have not mentioned you by name. Please continue on

in your seva/sadhana to the Lord. Bring your realizations before the

others here so that we may all benefit from what the Lord has taught

you. It is only in the assembly of devotees that we continue to

mature in our spiritual advancement. Please do not look at the

faults of eachother, and certainly do not take offense at words.

Assist eachother, and if for some reason that you find offense at the

words of another devotee, remember that they too sit at the Lord's

lotus feet, and bring the matter privately to a senior devotee, so

that your offense may be quietly resolved. Greater offense is made

when a wrong is taken publicly, so handle your affairs with wisdom

and mercy, for all are the Lord's devotees, and He takes no pleasure

when we offend eachother.

 

Your eternal servant;

Nitaipada Maharaja
