Hare Krishna, Srila Gurudeva!
Please accept my obeisances.
All glories to you and Gurumataji!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Today was quite wonderful on book distribution, 2 Saptarishi Sets and 9 or 10 Bhakta Stacks.
(Note: A Saptarishi Set consists of:
1. Journey of Self Discovery
2. Science of Self Realization
3. Bhagavad-gita
4. Krishna Book
5. Nectar of Devotion
6. Teachings of Lord Caitanyaa
7. Srimad Bhagavata, First Canto, Part One
And a Bhakta Stack consists of:
1. Science of Self Realization
2. Bhagavad-gita
3. 1 medium book
4. 1 small book)
One man named Jorge was so sincere, he took a Saptarishi Set, 2 Bhakta Stacks, one Spanish Gita and some japa beads! He drove me ten minutes to the ATM just to get the donation for the books! He gave $80.
Also I met a man I offered the books to. He said "no" that he doesn't need them. I said, "Have you heard of stress?". He said, "Yes." So I gave him the "On Chanting Hare Krishna" pamphlet and told him it will eliminate stress entirely if he chants everyday. He said, "How much?". I said, "Just take it. I usually give the pamphlets out for free, but you can leave a donation if you want." So he gave $10 and I made him take a Bhakta Stack!
But Srila Gurudeva, I am wondering how do develop love for Guru. I was thinking that I took initiation from you for my own benefit not in the mood of loving service. how to develop a sense of selfless service and true love for Guru?
Your servant,
