Sadhu Sanga - Another Realization

Hare Krsna!! The following is another realization by a bhakta from Cairns, Australia. He stayed at Sri Krishna Mandir for 2 days. He wrote the following note addressed to Sundar Gopal Prabhu, the President of the Sri Krishna Mandir here in Singapore.

Sundar Gopal Das,

My humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada – the eternal spiritual master. Hare Krsna!

I am very grateful to be given the good family place, to be here in Sri Krishna Mandir. By Krsna’s merciful arrangement, I was able to steer clear of associating with smokers, drunkards and meat-eaters during my stay in Singapore.

In the process of getting a temple in Russia, many sacrifices were made including imprisonment of devotees. Similarly, some of the devotees here remind me of the Pandavas! After they finished their allotted austerities of the forest, they worked with Dharma and varied skills and worldly disguises awaiting Krsna’s divine call to action.

I hope to find good association back in Australia and be in Krsna Consciousness. My prompt return will surely be distracted by woman and children. I am very much interested to participate in the pilgrimage to India amongst the temple archipelago and also in the development of the farm community in Malaysia. Alas, Krsna’s Maya is strong and may submerge me for some years. When we emerge from it, we shall endeavor to return.

Please accept my deep gratitude for the wonderful Prasadam, instant-loving blessed (Pandavas) family and good safe bed to sleep. There is less furrow on my forehead now because I feel more safe and relaxed in Sri Krishna Mandir (with the Pandavas). Sri Krishna Mandir ki jai!!

I believe some of the devotees (especially the Brahmacaris) would do well coming to Australia Padayatra on a temple pilgrimage.

Lastly, I will certainly be always attracted to live near waterfall, fruit trees and have a milking cow. This is Vaikuntha and the desire to stay in such a farm is utmost in our heart of hearts.

I am very thankful to all who helped to make my stay here possible.

Your friend and devotee of Radha-Krsna
Thomas
