THANKS TO SRILA GAURANGAPADA FOR DERAILING ME!!!
Today i was talking to one of my very close confidents and spiritual brothers,Him and His wife (diciples of HH TKG) here in my area,i exposed the fact that I am part of Gauranga Dharma and will continue and might be times when he will be questioned about our friendship and faithfulness.
I told Him how life before was like in shades of Gray with once in a while strikes of light this were when we had special occasions ,festivals ,harinamas etc. in Krishna consciousness,other than that was monotony and bitterness.
I wish to thank Srila Gaurangapada for derailing my life from a certain death in sadness or suicide to a life full of joy,energy and dreams for the future. before He came even that we had KC in our lives been trough so much in ISKCON had left so many scars in our hearts,in the 80's we had to go trough the "Guru Wars" and then in the 90's trough the Ritvik war and in between we lost hope,faith,sense of goal,lost the base of why follow our Saddhana,even that as devotees we kept pushing and consoling each others as you all remember we opened groups like "fallen devotees of Iskcon","fallen-trees" "causalities from ISKCON" and so many others it was a cry to try to help each other,to give us some support but in all we were drowning in loneliness without a sense of belonging any were,like a boat in middle of ocean not having a purpose to go anywhere. I am pretty sure others like Arjun and I will have kept fighting trying to help others but also we were crying and our spiritual and personal lives were falling apart. But the Lord so merciful could not let all this souls go to waste,so He sent his representative Srila Gaurangapada to save us,not only spiritually but physically,if this is been derailed by becoming a 100% better devote and person! then we should have been derailed long time ago! He derailed us to chant the most Holy names! that have giving us hope,love and a purpose in life. what used to be a torment is now sweet like candy,the chanting,Magic is the chanting they say but only when you taste it with Nityananda Gauranga names you can really feel,see and taste the Magic! Thank you so much Srila Gaurangapada for bringing so much love,hope and purpose into our lives,you bringing the divine names is like the sunshine after the storm. I can only say this which is my own truth
ajńăna-timirăndhasya jńănanjana-salăkayă caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namah
My dandavats at your lotus feet eternally grateful to you. Tulsi Nityananda maa
