Kirtanananda Swami's Letter To Devotees

BY KIRTANANANDA SWAMI

EDITORIAL, Jul 14 (VNN) All the Vaisnavas of New Vrindavan, Iskcon, and devotees of Lord Krishna all over the world: All glories to Srila Prabhupada, our divine Spiritual Master, our eternal Guide, and our Source of all benediction and blessing. I offer my humble obeisances to all of you. namah om vishnu padaya krishna presthaya bhutale srimati bhaktivedanta swamin iti namine namaste sarasvati deve gaura vani pracarine nirvisesa sunyavadi pasyata desa tarine I approach all of you with humble prostrations, begging for your mercy so that I may receive the mercy of Guru and Krishna. I know throughout many years of service to Prabhupada and Lord Krishna in New Vrindavan, that I have offended many Vaisnavas, and have even broken the regulative principles. For that I have been reaping corrective chastisement from Prabhupada and Lord Krishna. I am reminded of the story of Durvasa Muni and Maharaja Amburish. I, too, have offended the Vaisnavas, and no matter where I go or how much punishment I receive I cannot regain the shelter of Prabhupada's lotus feet without the Vaisnavas' mercy. Please be kind to me and show me your causeless mercy, and bless me that I may again serve Srila Prabhupada to his full satisfaction. Your humble servant, Kirtanananda Swami
