O Divine Consort! Sacred devi Ganga!

Residing on your merciful banks, living only upon the sustenence of your sacred waters, abandoning all the thoughts and

desires for material sense gratification, I fondly worship my Lord Sri Krishna.

 

 

O Goddess, devi Ganga! O gracious Purifier of all the sinful souls!

O holy elevator, manifested to uplift the mankind to higher heavenly realm!

O reservoir ever full of highly dynamic, blissful waves!

Kindly bestow upon me your blessings of Divine Grace.</font>

"vANI guNAnukathane zravaNau kathAyAM

hastau ca karmasu manas tava pAdayor naH,

smRtyAM ziras tava nivAsa jagat praNAme

dRSTiH satAM darzane 'stu bhavat tanUnAm"

 

(Srimad Bhagavatam 10.10.38)

 

..When child Krishna releases the twin sons of Kubera from the curse of being two Arjuna trees by uprooting them and restoring the young men to their original form, the twins ask for a boon from the Lord ---

 

"O Lord, please grant us that our tongues may always be engaged in singing Your praises and glories, our ears in hearing them, our hands in doing Your service, our minds in the contemplation of Your holy feet, our heads in prostrating to the entire world which is Your dwelling and our eyes in the vision of the holy persons who are Your embodiments."

 

--- Swami Shantananda Puri

Preparing one (or more) Ekadasi dishes to bring to a program tonight, hearing bonafide hari-kIrtan & hari-kathA, planning something to offer Jagat-gurudev tomorrow, writing VyAsa-pUjA offerings..

As I am far from any temple and mostly on my own with KC, I find it good service to bring up KC as much as possible with all that I encounter. Making mention of KRSNA in response to nearly any conversation takes some focus and work, but offers good service and preaching and helps keep KRSNA in my mind when there are no others likeinded to interact with
