Here`s the Story of my Life

[melvin]

It was about 12 years ago when I star-

ted promoting Krishna consciousness to

my people because I was firmly convinced

that the Senyor Sto. Nino was Krishna Him-

self, the Holy Child enshrined at the Ba-

silica Minore del Santo Nino in Cebu City,

Philippines, after offering to my people

evidences of His discription from Srimad

Bhagavatam. But they have none of it be-

cause the Church thinks otherwise.

Like a salesman in Og Mandino`s book, the

Greatest Salesman, I was bound to be the

opposite of what it was supposed to be.

It`s like wanting to own a new pair shoes

desperately until, one day, while walking

along a busy street, he saw his old bud-

dy on a wheelchair without his feet.

Similarly, Dhruva Maharaja wanted to pos-

ses some land, but when he saw Lord Ke-

shava living on water, little boy Dhruva

eventually refused to accept the Lord for

any benediction.

I, too, wanted a Visa so that I could tra

vel to places in order to find the Lord,

but when, one day, I went inside the Basi

lica Minore del Santo Nino, I found out

that the Lord , Who was actually present

before me, was indeed living in the area

where I was actually born.

Now, I`m here because I wanted to promote

to you, the Santo Nino, because I`m 100%

sure He is no other than Krishna`s twin

Brother, Lord Balarama.

I don`t know. My people rejected me when

I wanted to convince them that the Holy

Child of Cebu was no other than Lord

Krishna. Maybe, you, too, are not convin-

ced, if I declare to all of you at www.

indiadivine.com that the Lord Senyor Sto.

Nino, Whom I told to my people is Lord

Krishna, may not be good for you if I say

that He is Lord Balarama. If you reject

me with this reason, then where will I

go?

What a great mystery indeed is God, Lord

Govinda. Only a pure-devotee surrendered

to the Supreme Personality of Godhead,

Vasudeva can know him in full: Vasudeva

sarvam iti sa mahatma sudarlabha.

I might as well just chant: Hare Krishna

Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare/

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.

Hi Melvin

I appreciate your faith and effort. How can church agree with you when you contradict them. They want to convert people to their religion. They do not understand that God consciousness should come with in and not by compulsion. Only in hindu religion there is no compulsion for anything. You can find athiests only in hindu religion, because they are given freedom and time to understand & realize God.

my dear viji,

first of all i would like to greet you

a happy day. may the good lord, hari,

bless you today in whatever you do. may

he protect your family, parents, relat-

ives, community, co-workers, and friends

from harm. and may your health be sound

and fit to tackle each day lord vasude-

va have tasked you to do: preach the

good news to all men and women of good-

will that they should come down from

their peaceful nests and go where the

battle of good and evil has manifest,

putting on their bodies the armour of

love, devotion and care as each embraces

the wounded, enemy or friend, by clean-

sing the wounds and repairing the gaps

of those who have experienced the pain

of being hit by a bullet, sword, and

shrapnels of an exploding bomb or gre-

nade. let us be thankful therefore that

we are not one of them who have suffered

so much just to defend a principle they

since time immemorial have practiced to

their best of ability to have this

principle protected and nurtured even if

the dignity they sought to maintain has

been taken away from them because of

this mindless war where almost everyone

are trying to outdo each other just so

they could plunder and steal what they

do not own.

everything is owned by the supreme per-

sonality of godhead, sri krishna, and it

is only right that he takes it back from

us those that we don`t need for our de-

votional service to him.

to a pure devotee of lord narayana, no

one is christian, muslim, or hindu, nor

an atheist, agnostic, buddhist, etc.

since all from his point of view are

but part and parcel of the supreme

whole, sri govinda, the primeval lord.

it is not for me, therefore, to judge

who is who, or which is which, or what

is what. it`s only krishna who has the

final say in all of these paradoxes of

life. so, let us be comrades one but

simultaneously different although the

mission is the same: to help those who

have fallen stand up again, preach, in

action and words, the good news of

chrisna jesus, " come and follow me. "

krishna prabhupada jesus is the only

way, the truth, and life( a mantra for

all ).
