Re: Vyasa Puja Dec 1 2008

Dear Swami Gaurangapada

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna!

Please forgive me for not noticing that December 1st was your Vyasa Puja. I did not read anything on this message board at the time. Also, please accept my humble pranaam that I offer to you.

When hearing your voice from audio and video clips, I get the sudden desire to chant naam. When seeing you on the video clips, I get the desire to chant naam. When thinking of your name, Gaurangapada, I get the desire to chant naam. Whenever I read the words that you wrote to me and I copied down into a special little book, I learn something new in those words, and I get the desire to chant naam.

A very simple and very profound thing that you said is that Love for God�s Holy Names is the beauty of the soul. Words cannot express how much this quote means to me.

I have learned that real initiation is when one accepts the spiritual master in their heart. I feel, that when I knew to write down what you wrote to me on 10-10-2008, that I had accepted you as my Gurudeva in my heart. You asked me to keep up my enthusiasm and attraction for the Lord... and I will do this until the time comes to discard this body. By reading your words I have your vani association whenever I read them. The words of the spiritual master are nondifferent from him.

I am always happy to know that when I first came to Sanatana Dharma that I quickly heard an audio file of you pronouncing the Mantrarajas and the Mahamantra. I think that I would not be where I am now in this path (losing voice and shedding tears while doing naam japa) if I never heard of you.

Please let me know anything that I can do for you which would not be difficult for me.

Your aspiring servant,
Clint
