Dear Sushen Prabhu br --A disciple of Srila Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Swami Maharaj br I first met him in Puri, br When desiring to hear Jagannath Pastimes br He came from somewhere br (of course by Jagannath’s plan) br And kept speaking for hours br -Telling about Ratha Yatra, Salbeg, King Purushottam Dev, br Prataprudra, Gajpati Maharaj and the Tattvas. br br That was so wonderful and nice, br I can’t even explain properly. br And then I met him again br ---After six months. br He came to my room br And took me to Guru Maharaj br Things changed for me br I wanted to be strong and determined again. br br So, Can I say I met my spiritual master“””””by chance””””” ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? br Whom I had never talked to before? br For me, it is Lord’s plan and arrangement br And I feel I am very fortunate in this regard. br br I feel like repeating the verse from Srimad Bhagvatam (1.1.22) br Expressing gratitude to Guru Maharaj: br br tvam nah sandarsito dhatra br dustaram nistitirsatam br kalim sattva-haram pumsam br karna-dhara ivarnavam br br We think that we have met Your Goodness by the will of providence, just so that we may accept you as captain of the ship for those who desire to cross the difficult ocean of Kali, which deteriorates all the good qualities of a human being. br br Glorifying Jagannath always, br And serving instructions of Guru Maharaj br He (Sushen Das) continues his service br Strong and determined as ever. br br Can this be possible: br br Without the blessings of Jagannath? ? br -Without a plan of Jagannath? ? br -Without the will of Jagannath? ? br -And without a special arrangement of Jagannath? ? br br I pray for him br That he continues nicely, br Enthusiastically and happily as ever. br Encouraging each one of us. br And always chanting “”” Jay Jagannath””””. br Haribol.
