I was very sad that day as the ecstatic temple opening celebrations came to an end, and again I found myself in low spirits, with practically no guidance and no shelter of a spiritual master. I was literally a spiritual 'orphan' with broken spirits in need of some enlightenment. And with this mood as I was praying to Krishna to send someone who can uplift my spirits and give some spiritual enlightenment, the very moment, you walked through a narrow lane of a second-class train compartment to reach us. I was delighted to see an effulgent, saintly person amongst us. And the moment you started talking about Krishna, my heart knew Krishna has answered my prayers.

You were kind enough to give all of us (me, my brother and a bunch of 10-12

IYF & congregational devotees) your transcendental association through Krishna Katha for more than an hour. It was sweeter than nectar that time flew by without anyone of us noticing. Before leaving for your compartment, you asked if anyone would be interested to buy your newly published book," Bhakti yoga Pilgrimage". Though I was running short of money, you were kind enough to give me a discount and the note you wrote for me on the book, made a very strong and deep impact on me. You wrote,"For Sabitha from Noida with best wishes for a happy journey back to Krishna loka" with your signature below. Somewhere these words assured me that I will one day go back to Krishna. And I am glad to share with you today that the same year, I happened to see my Spiritual master, His Grace Sankarshan Das Adhikari Prabhu in Noida temple and my life completely transformed for good.

Later, I read your book from cover to cover and wrote a review of how it had such an uplifting effect on me for your website WWW.walk4cows.net. I am holding this book today with a very heavy heart thinking how such a rotting and fallen person can ever have a good fortune of meeting elevated devotees like yourselves if it were not Krishna's sheer mercy flowing through His dear devotees.

Thankyou, for you have, practically with your example has shown us how to live a human life by dedicating it fully for the service of Sri Guru. Your courage is laudable for taking up preaching the holy names of Krishna at one of the toughest places on Earth (China). You are an inspiration for all of us and will forever remain in our hearts as a siksha guru, who taught us by example. After our spiritual masters, it is from you I have seen and understood the meaning of how disciplic succession works its 'magic' as a transparent via media. When a disciple sincerely follows his Guru's instruction and dedicates every breath of his life in his spiritual master's service, then he becomes a transparent media through which Krishna's Sakti or love flows through the disciplic succession and touches and tranforms everything he comes in contact with.

Thankyou for coming to this world. Thankyou for your causeless efforts in pulling fallen souls closer to Sri Guru and Krishna. Thankyou again and again for teaching us through your example.
