Prayer for Pure Bhakti
uploaded from Riga, Latvia |

My
dear most beloved Lord Sri Krishna,
Please bless me that I may be purely
absorbed in your devotional service in all
times, places, and circumstances for all of
eternity without even the slightest
deviation from pure bhakti in either my
thoughts, words, or deeds. My dear Lord, I
know that anything less than this will not
be pleasing to you. Thus I am I
begging you to bless me with pure devotional
service so that I can give you unlimited
pleasure for all of eternity. Please help me
to attain this. I am a most fallen and
bewildered servant of my rascal senses.
Without your mercy I will not be able to
escape this entrapment within the prison of
sense gratification. So please save me.
Sankarshan Das Adhikari

Question: Why Bad Things Happen to Good People? |
|
As you
mentioned in the 9 May 2016 Thought for the Day, in a
situation where greedy, remorseless, revengeful,
powerful, scheming people play their dirty games and
harass, abuse, insult, cause losses to and disturb the
gentle devotees fully aware of the situation--why does
this happen to the devotees when they are under the
shelter of Krishna? Does Krishna penalize dirty, corrupt
people and protect devotees? How and when? Why God
delays in answering our prayers?
Gurudeva, how to serve spiritual master, Tulasi devi, and
Krishna for their pleasure, not just to get moksha and Goloka dhama, but in pure devotional service to be with them
always. Kindly elaborate. Your insignificant
student,
Rajendra

Answer: For a True Devotee Everything is Good
|
|
A devotee accepts the hell of this
material world as a wonderful reminder from the
unlimitedly merciful Lord Sri Krishna that this material
world is not our actual home. Everyone is punished and
rewarded according to their previous pious and sinful
activities. You cannot change that with prayer. Prayer is for awakening the pure love of God within our
hearts so that we can get out of this material world.
It is not for getting better facilities in this material
world.
By purely serving the spiritual master Tulasi devi and
Lord Krishna are automatically pleased.
Srila Prabhupada describes nicely below how to serve the spiritual
master:
"A disciple should serve the spiritual master as a
menial servant, and whatever he has in his possession
should be dedicated to the spiritual master: pranair
arthair dhiya vaca. Everyone has his life, his wealth,
his intelligence and his words, and all of them should
be offered to the Supreme Personality of Godhead through
the via medium of the spiritual master."
